FIRST HAND FAITH...
Just came back from a family friend daughter 21st Birthday party! And i really didn't expect to take back so much today. It all started out of a little obligation for me to go, as i didn't know anyone personally there... and since this rare time im free for the night. So i guess why not just come along... well.. FOOD was awesome! the surprise was at some VERY NICE rooftop garden in an office in Geylang...
anyway the highlight of the day for me was actually when my dad's friend who was a pastor sat with us. And for the next 2-3 hrs he and his wife shared a lot of first hand experience with God.. it was like a very personal preaching to me mainly. And i just nod my head every time i agreed on something and I didnt speak much at all. But sooo many stories they shared were really soooo amazing and inspiring on how GOD has been so real in their life! And how strong their FAITH was.. i can tell they are one of the strongest Christians i ever met in my LIFE. Their FAITH was so real and TRUE...an example was... halfway it started to drizzle..and the wife just said and PRAYED OUT LOUD ..that the rain will stop! In Jesus name..and INDEED it stopped! They shared how REAL the authority given to us IN JESUS NAME was! And it was indeed!she shared her testimony of how she fend of a robber by SAYING IN JESUS NAME! IT was REALLY SPIRIT LED and POWERFUL!
And the pastor shared much more abt the power of the HOLY SPIRIT...some really SUPERNATURAL stories of GOD MIRACLES! and well its sooo REAL..bcoz we really have a SUPERNATURAL GOD!And why im sharing all this now in my blog is.. like they said...we sld be testimony of GOD. And we sld SHARE and GIVE ALL PRAISE to GOD whenever we encounter GOD personally.
He shared that many ppl have second hand experience with GOD, for example, seeing and hearing stories from other christians, maybe hearing from a pastor, or maybe seeing how a Christian behave... and if lets say a Christian doesnt behave like one.. and a non Christian have a second hand faith on that... that isnt very good... so if one have a FIRST HAND FAITH from GOD... than thats something which is really REAL and personal from GOD. And so before we can share to others..we NEED this FIRST HAND FAITH! or FIRST HAND ENCOUNTER with GOD. And I truly believed that ALL Christians sld have experience GOD at least once in their life!... and after they have this FIRST HAND FAITH..they sld SHARE it! To edify, encourage others and to be used as a testimony for GOD! ... when i reflected back the last 2 yrs...GOD has used many leaders and pastors to prophesied over me in many situations...and GOD has indeed REVEALED how true and real those prophesies abt me right till now! Soon i wld share 3-4 significant prophesy that has come true! And thats wad we sld do. SHARE the things GOD HAS SHOWN AND REVEALED in our lifes! Anyway there were sooo many topics that he shared and preach abt... but this was one of the significant few that spoke to me...
...and all it took was a real NATURAL preacher and someone to listen! I was INSPIRED! =)
