A glimpse of God's Heart

Visited Cornerstone Community Church last night with my small group to hear this invited missionary Heidi Baker, who has been on the mission field for the past 24 years. Heard many amazing testimonies about God's amazing work through her life. Even saw her ministry being documented in the movie Finger of God recently. And last night had the privilege to hear her personally for the first time and had a taste of the kind of deep sense of love she experience with God.

Rolland and Heidi Baker are founders and directors of Iris Ministries. God has given them a heart for the poor and they have been missionaries for the last 24 years in Asia, Europe and Africa. For the past 8 years they have been ministering in the nation of Mozambique where they are caring for orphans and street children while seeing a glorious revival with thousands of churches planted.

Heidi holds a BA and MA from S.C.C., Vanguard University and a PhD. in Systematic Theology from King's College, University of London. One third of her time is spent traveling throughout the nations preaching on a passion for Jesus. Her heart is to impart His huge heart of love. Her life message is that all fruitfulness flows out of intimacy with Him.

Amazing time of worship in God's presence

Colossians 1:4-11
New International Version (NIV)
"4 because we have heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and of the love you have for all God’s people— 5 the faith and love that spring from the hope stored up for you in heaven and about which you have already heard in the true message of the gospel 6 that has come to you. In the same way, the gospel is bearing fruit and growing throughout the whole world—just as it has been doing among you since the day you heard it and truly understood God’s grace. 7 You learned it from Epaphras, our dear fellow servant, who is a faithful minister of Christ on our behalf, 8 and who also told us of your love in the Spirit. 9 For this reason, since the day we heard about you, we have not stopped praying for you. We continually ask God to fill you with the knowledge of his will through all the wisdom and understanding that the Spirit gives, 10 so that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and please him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God, 11 being strengthened with all power according to his glorious might so that you may have great endurance and patience,"

LOVE one another

Let love manifest in your life 

We can't just give God a tithe of our life , He wants ALL your life!

Testimonies...
-Pastors who got beaten not retaliating , but filled with God's love

-God multiplied food, clothes just in-front of her eyes

-God fed 100,000 people in Mozambique 

-God even made plastic beads infront of her eyes. Look at your hands today, it's so much more complex compared to a plastic bead. So why can't God made them? Beads just appeared when this girl asked for it. She was wondering how can one theologically comprehend that? But God can do anything to just make that girl happy.

Raised expectation that God wants to do things for you and through you.

Don't copy people, God created us unique 

God "kills" us in love. That we are not afraid to die. And we are raised up in Him.

If you are fully yielded in Christ you will be filled with Joy wherever he calls you. 

God can change the way you think. 

God is looking for yielded vessels 

God can use you as much as you are yielded to Him.

God will put his mind and heart into our minds and heart 

Patience and endurance 

Burns His destiny into your destiny, placing His glory and  presence on you...

The Encounter
After her message, almost the entire auditorium responded down on their knees. Being in a posture of surrender, yielded to Christ, we just allowed God's love & His Holy Spirit to just manifest His love in our life.

As I was just being there dwelling in God's presence, Heidi Baker asked us to pray for one another. And in the midst of praying for someone on my left, God suddenly broke my heart, it was as though a glimpse of His heart was revealed to me, and I couldn't contain it but broke down myself. He showed me the kind of Compassion He had for His people who were lost out there. Although I was suppose to pray a blessing for someone, I end up being touched by His Amazing Love HIMSELF. I was trying to control my tears and emotion as I couldn't pray properly thereafter, but it just made that conviction of God's heart so real even as I prayed. It was such a deep encounter of God's love that i've never felt in a long time despite being in many similar meetings like this in the many retreats, camps & conferences which I have attended throughout this year. Last night just made me in awe of our God who Love us so much and desire us to Love His people out there too. 

1 John 4:19... "We love each other because he loved us first."

John 13:34-35 (NLT)
" So now I am giving you a new commandment: Love each other. Just as I have loved you, you should love each other.  Your love for one another will prove to the world that you are my disciples."
