Light beyond the storm.
""He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the hearts of men;
"yet they cannot fathom what God has done from the beginning to end.” – Ecclesiastes 3:11

Monday, April 9, 2007 It's easter today! After praying and laying hold of God, i woke up slightly earlier today, hoping to persuade my parents to go to church w me. Sat down in the kitchen to talk to dad.. he wasn't very keen. Everytime i invite him, he would digress. Like he said he got abit of colourblind, red n gren. slight only.. but i ask him to come church w me, he would reject. So time passed.. from 1020 to 11. He said no. I was pretty disappointed, like have been praying and fasting. So just sat there listen to him n mum talk. Then, mum asked if this is the only time or everytime also have. I said, this is the first time i know have... And after that, i don't know what happened le. Like mum told dad to go n try.. both said ok. Then immediately, we went to change and got out of the house. Talking about the Holy Spirit moving. :) But when we were out, it was already 1115. Service should have started. So i was very worried that the gates would be closed le. Interestingly, mum suddenly said, "ye shu, deng wo men, wo men lai le ah..." And i just went, wow.. she's making her first prayer! In my heart, i just prayed. "God, i have prayed and invited. Now, it is only You who can touch their hearts." Then dad just drove.. reached expo at 1140. Walked very quickly and saw that the gate was open! So me n mum rushed to the gates. Dad followed behind... Couldnt find front seats, so just sat at sector C. Not too bad, cos there wasnt anyone in front of us, so had a clear view of the stage n screen. Throughout, i didnt feel worried about their salvation. I was enjoying myself listening to pastor's sermon. So super awed by the flashcards testimony. One was died, went to hell and brought back by Jesus! And so many more, getting pregnant, being healed of cancer.... and i felt that mum sitting beside me was also receiving. Then came ministry call. Just turn to mum and asked if she want to go up. She was abit reserved. So i just took up my bag and ask them to go. They just went. Walked to the front and tried to squeeze as front as they could. I just stood behind them. And the rest were miracles... Pastor talked to them and they just looked at the testimonies on stage. And when pastor led us through the sinner's prayer, they just bowed their heads. I was behind them, so couldnt see their faces. But i saw the jaws part moving.. Then pastor invited those who wish to receive Jesus to raise their hands, they rose! In my heart, i could only thank God! Laid hands on them and started to pray for the fruits. Followed by healing... I just cried before God as i prayed for them. Wow... God is so good... He fulfilled His promise and dream He gave me 1 week ago. Walked them out to the consolidation room too. Mum kicked a lady who was slained. haha... mum was asking why do we have to move to the right. Dad answered to register. HAHA.. true. but i explained that it's more to help them get to know Jesus more. Went in, quickly grabbed a consolidator and they were settled down to fill in the form. COOL! salvations.. After which, they received the package and went home. While i joined the youth service. So so thankful... You think that's all? No, God is faithful to me. Reached home and pastor barnabas from pastor hon shek's tribe called me. pretty funny, cos he thought i was the one who came. Haha... But he told me there is a cell based near my place and will get the leader to contact my parents. Wow.. i'm abit jin zhang, cos dad and mum are at a stage of just believe, come when need and pray, dont need to get committed and every religion is the same, just believe all. I really hope for complete consolidation. Tried to process through what they have gone through and explain certain things like why the ppl fall etc. thank God for His training these past few years, He knows i'm better able to handle these now, than a few years ago. I know a seed has been planted in them, esp mum, who is surprisingly more open, when she is the one who doesn't allow me to go church. And now i need to continue to fight the spiritual battle for their growth. AND... when brother came back, i sounded him out, cos i know he went church before. And, he has been attending new creation for 2 months! Told him could see, cos there is a difference in him. but he need to continue to be a good testimony. told him about dad and mum. He got a shock. Haha.. seems like the story shocked alot of ppl. (imagining my sisters' shocked faces) "But as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord." Joshua 24:15. He gave me this verse not too long ago. He will complete it. and He said to me, "Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us..." Eph 3:20, He will. Thank you Lord... i have nothing left to say. Thank you. =) Labels: Event, Give thanks -The Princess Jesus Loves- 2:18 AM
