// feeling :: church-over blues =(
// prayer for :: Meiling's operation on Tuesday

Hmmz..Today I persuaded Gab to go for the manifestation service. It was . . . really great..She missed her FCBC service cuz we really wanted her to stay for the second ALTER call..I felt tt it would apply to her. With credit to Mike and Lamb for correcting me =.=

In the end, it did. She responded to the alter call. I felt happy and angry at the same time. I was angry that she had to be bounded by that sin. That both of us had to be "controlled" by it. I was crying for her..juz praying tt God will release her from it. Belle was there..She hugged me..She prayed for me.

Then I knelt down n juz kept praying..I didnt speak in tongues or what..I juz spoke in english. But as I prayed and prayed, the anger died away, and what overtook it was happiness and rejoice. Cuz she made the decision to be released from it.

Now I know why this manifestation thing is here. I used to think that God purposely gave us problems so that when events like these came, we would respond and grow closer to God. Then I realised, God doesnt work with the devil.

He doesnt make us sin to repent and grow closer to Him. He tries to stop us from sinning, but when we do, He makes the BEST out of it, and changes our misfortune into a stepping stone, not a stumbling block.

Today was the first time I knelt before God. I realised that I love Him so much. That I just want to stay in His presence in church forever and ever. I could live there.

But I juz wanna thank Him for Belle, Mike, Lamb.. They are my family in Christ. Belle is there everytime I encountered a problem and when I had good news to share. Mike is always there to pray for me and restore my faith whenever things go wrong. Lamb is always there to protect me and to be a listening ear. People like these you cant find on the streets. They gotta come from God.

My mom asked me to share my manifestation experience with her in the presence of my dad. I said I didnt vomit or what.. Then my dad came over n said he didnt believe manifestation is like that; not as "violent" as that. But no..I wanted to retaliate him. Wanted to tell him that my church is different from his.

The Bible talks about Jesus expelling demons; and demons resisting Him. I dont think my dad likes my church. But that doesnt give him a reason to doubt its credibility..


HALLELUJAH GAB SPOKE IN TONGUE AFTER WANTING IT FOR SO LONG! And she responded to God too =)
