Ha, wrote this down in camp after smsing Ivan back in camp. It was really mind-blowing, because as I wrote, the writings became personal revelations for me, ha.
"God, come let Your presence be with me, wherever I go. I want to have Faith and Success. Faith in You, that is unwaivering, that stands and trust in You completely, which through that success comes. Because success comes from the Giver and only when we are focused on You, can success come and that we become effective for You to use!
Confidence, that we know who we are in You, that no one judge us, but only You can, because You have called us as Your children and Your people whom will impact and change this world for You. And You say it's already done!
Prayer, that Your hand moves before we do. That it's already birthed in the spirit and a vision of it given, then we do practical things to attain that vision birthed!
Audacity, fight and persistence, that no matter what happens, we hang on. Holding on to what You have told us and shown us."
It was really a prayer actually, as I can't really pray in camp, so the best alternative, is writing down my prayers, ha. Envisioning them as I write them down. Describing in details what I see with my spiritual eyes, that we go to the thousands, rising up many leaders with HOGC ingrained in them.
I am so looking forward to attend one of those prayer meetings in church that I've heard so much about. 4 - 5pm, 8 - 9pm. I'm really going to attend one of those whenever I can.
We are no longer just doing the ministry, but we are tapping on God, while doing the ministry. That God gives us the strength, the provision, the vision of His plans and His ways, and we do accordingly to His ways instead of how we would do it.
It's a really exciting phase that we are going through, let's flow with the church.
"4th dimensional thinking, envision, prayer, faith and success, confidence, audacity!"

Songs...
Ha, remembered the lyrics of this song and the bridge was one of the most powerful points for me;
"See now, the King of glory
Love of God, become my calling
Father, I surrender
All I am to You forever"
It was very funny about how it popped up to me, it was in service and we were worshiping with this song when we came to the bridge and the lyrics became like a image to me, ha... It spoke about so many things in just that short verse.
Focus on God, which is what we need to do. And now that we're saved, loving God and spreading the love of God has become our calling, surrendering to God all that we are and that we are His forever. It was so so powerful when it became like that. It's a personal revelation! Ha.
Also, read Ivan's blog and was really impacted. What is the fear of God? That's also something I want to have a revelation about. Like Ivan shared, it's some thing we all can read about in the Bible and in books, or even in sermons. But it's really different when it comes to a personal revelation, because you finally understand what it truly means!
"God, open my eyes and ears to hear what You have to say!"
Lastly, it was good hanging out in church abit today. Though there weren't many people around, but still it was good. Benny is super cute, just hang out with him for most of today, ha. Just love hanging out with the Zone F people, Benny, Leona, Jordan, etc. They really do remind us of ourselves back in the Henderson days.
I believe that Zone F will really grow, not just in numbers, but in spirit as well. Having Pastor Lia and their Leaders there, the anointing and DNA will be passed on to them. And I know that they will run with it, the next generation rising.
Also been hearing and reading many things from people. I'm excited seeing and hearing that people are rising up. It's really the season! Beginnings of leadership and many will rise this year, the potential that you have is there, but are you willing to do the work that is needed to unleash that potential?
Keep rising people, the year is yet to end. End it with a blast!

Accounts anyone?
Ha, been writing much back in camp and it's been good. I have finally found my 'space' in camp, ha.
Wells basically its a place where I can spend time on my own with God in camp and it's like what the Bible says, the 'Secret Place'. It's a place of power and presence of God, a place where we receive revelation from the Living Word of God. I just went back to read proverbs and through it, received a deep and personal revelation, and of course wrote it down in my journal. Like Pastors always shared with us, when we receive a revelation, we must always write it down because we don't want to end up forgetting it!
I realise that the problem always lies with us. Sometimes we think, "God, why aren't You speaking?" or "God, where are You in this?" But if you really look carefully, God has always been there. It's just that we were so blind to see it. During those times, all we see is mainly the problem, and we just can't bring ourselves to see upwards. Even though we might be faithfully praying, but we lack the faith for the prayer. And when we just give up regarding the problem, all of a sudden you see God's hand in it and His hand moving in the problem!
Even for myself, I'm still learning and also growing from faith to faith. Knowing God in deeper and more personal manners, also really growing to love the Word of God and prayer all over again. And also, accountability! It's something I think we always need to have and also something that we need to have in our lives, because I think without accountability, we lose control over ourselves. Let us grow to be people who are accountable to our leaders, not just informing, but really accountable, meaning we always check before we do something! I want to grow to be more accountable too!
Love life! And attack it! Don't let it take you down, but rise rise rise!

Values....
It's been a great day today, wells, it's got nothing to do with camp cause I went back to camp for 'training' which as usual, didn't happen, haha.
Service was great, Pastor Tan preached a great work, sharing about values and the cool part, the values' origins are from the very values that God gave His people thousands of years ago, the 'Ten Commandments'! It just shows that God's plans and ways are way way higher than ours, and that His word endures forever!
Also, God reminded me about some things that Pastor How shared before quite a long time ago. 'We are first a Christian, before we are ministers or anything else we are doing for God.' Through that, it just clicked with Pastor Tan's sermon, that our lives must be right and in order. Our relationship with God must be right and that we depend on God rather than just our own ability, which many of us have and do. So we need to have values in our lives, because it's going to be that which lasts!
I think one thing God really reminded me also is that, 'What happens if you are not doing anything in church even after army?' No longer on ministry, but just a member in church. Would you still be loyal and committed to church? Would you still do the things you do? And after really staying presence of God, I told God, yes. All over again, even if it just means being with You only.
Just got to press on! Let the values be imprinted in our hearts!

Comments people, comments
Ha, yesterday was super crazy, ha. Was really tired from camp and didn't really get to talk to Ivan, just went crash and slept, haha.
Wells that aside, was really rested after that and just hanged out in church, observing rehearsals and hearing sound too, ha. Missing the times where I'm back in the team, but wells, we got to do what we got to do, ha. So I'm going to stay in serving my national service time for the remaining 1 year plus before I get my freedom again
Anyways, been really catching up with many people the past week. Great to see that many of them have progressed and are still hanging on in this race, ha. Just enjoy catching up with people, it's time like this where you can really share your heart with them.
Secondary schools' camp in a few hours time! It's going to be good! Please do not miss out man, I so want to go, but wells, like I said, got tot serve my term first, haha. Also Pastor Tan's coming this week, so service is really going to be power-packed and other than that, the most important people are coming back too! Pastors! Church is going to be normal again, haha!
Oh yeah, something came up to my mind when I was catching up with everyone this past week. I realise that the longer that we have been in church, above just seeing how much the church has grown, for us, it's really no longer us who live anymore. Because whatever we are doing now, actually affects people indirectly. You might not feel it, but you've got no idea how much you have in your hands, ha. So like Pastors shared with us long ago, we really need to live a life for OTHERS!
I want to live that life, what about you?

Ancient ages
Been a long long time since I last blogged, haha
Red Rain was amazing, they really have gone to another level as a whole band, and also even the operations were super zai! The lights were like .... woah.... if you were there, you know what I mean ;)
You could just feel a buzz in the air during the concert, but just above the buzz, was personally also ministered during the concert, there was a just a sweet presence of God present during the concert.
Also seeing Ivan and Joanne share their life story brought back so many memories, ha. Wells, been saying this alot in my entries, we really have been growing!!! Ha. Anyways, got to catch up with some people from E Zone as some of us from G Zone went to T3 with them. And it was really good, just enjoyed myself talking to them and also talking to the new people too! Haha
Lessons with David Pfansiel was good! He's really a very very good drummer, ha. Learnt many things from him, and am drained mentally, ha. Wells, had a hectic day in camp yesterday, super tired and now am at Ivan's place, just talking and blogging, ha. Just enjoying the fellowship and the company of a really good friend, haha.
Anyways, I really miss Pastors, church is so so weird without them around. Pastors really rock, was smsing them back in camp the other day telling them that it was great to have them come back from Korea. They really have sown alot in our lives, like pretty much Ivan said, they are the ones who taught us what we know! Ha.
Lastly, church camp's coming up, it's going to super super exciting. Please do go for it if you can! I so wanna go, but I'm stuck cause of my own 'camp' haha. Can't blog properly today, stoning already, ha. Till next time, see ya all soon!

Thoughts....
Ha, zone F's cool man. Love hanging around with them. Looking at them, just reminds me of how it was back in henderson days when we were younger then, haha. Yes, it's true, we were all young once! Haha
Jordan's a super cute and funny guy, but really he's got such purity, it's super cool to hang out with him, haha.
Many thoughts, but hard to pen down, ha. Practised drums for about 2 hours just now, mentally drained, like Ivan shared, ha. It's like a headless chicken, hahaha.
Walk on man, that's something we all need to always do, discouraged, but don't stay discouraged, ha. Always keep the faith, remember, its' a marathon, no 100m sprint, don't start running super fast, but end up dying half-way!
Pace yourself, run from check-point to check-point. For us, it's from revelation to revelation, so love God's word! It's going to be something that sustains you in this walk with God!
Remember back to basics! Can't emphasize it enough, like Pastor How shared with us before, the bigger the church, the smaller we must feel. Meaning that no matter how professional we become, we must always always step down back to the basics!
Going back to basics....
Red Rain's up, pray for the many souls that are coming, and that they be saved and planted!!!!
