An encounter with God

I just want to share my encounter with the Holy Spirit during the cell group meeting yesterday. Up till now, I am still so excited and remembering the feeling and really am hungry to experience it once again.

Yesterday during the start of the meeting, I already felt that the atmosphere was different. I do not know exactly why. It is not the first time that I am sharing a testimony during cell group meeting. But somehow, while Jing Jun and Lili were sharing their testimonies, I already felt that the Holy Spirit was amongst us. Please do not think that I am being too cliché, but this is really how I feel. That’s why when it was my turn to share my testimony to give thanks to God, emotions just surge all over me and I could almost felt tears in my eyes. I knew today, God is going to do something different. With a heart full of expectations, I entered into worship.

The time of worship is the beginning of miracles. I have been learning and hearing about worship and entering into the Holy of Holies, both during service and during bible study. We all know that we need to come before God, and enter into Holy of Holies to come and encounter Him. To speak the truth, from the beginning of the cell group meeting, my flesh felt so weak. And it was such a battle in the spirit and my flesh..

But upon entering the second worship, as we started to sing the song “ Secret Place”… I asked myself, “Hey what are you doing?” So I went on knees and in my heart, I told God, please strengthen me… and then.. the exciting part comes……….

I suddenly felt a weight that was so heavy that was pressed upon me. The more I tried to struggle, the more heavy the weight became. My body was literally bending the other way forming an arc….and the strange thing is that I felt a strength that was supporting my neck. Initially, I really could not believe that it was God. So I tried to open my eyes… but I could not. The heaviness became heavier and heavier… then I remember learning that when God is in the room, we would feel his glory and weight so strongly… and the electrifying feeling… just when I started to think maybe it was me not concentrating… the electrifying feeling flowed down from my finger tips to my elbow all the way to my face and to the back of my neck…. Wow wow wow…. Then I thought, okie, I am going to confirm it is really God… so I asked the Holy Spirit… “God, if its really you, Let me feel the electrifying feeling and your breath one more time, and I know its you.”

And guess what? Immediately, I felt that my whole body was arcing so much that my body was almost on the sofa already! And the electricity just flow and I could feel like someone is walking in front of me and the power was so strong, and the next thing I knew, my tears just started to gush out and indeed, at that moment, I knew and I knew, that it was none other than GOD!!!!

I am so excited, because I have really not have such an experience with God for a long time. And I truly understand what it meant to be in the Holy of Holies, worshiping Him the one and ONLY!

I am so excited. I am indeed looking forward to the next cell group meeting and I want to ask God to come again, I want to experience Him again.

Hallelujah! Praise the Lord! I love u Jesus! I love the Holy Spirit!

Do you have big faith or small faith today?

If you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can move mountains.

Yes, thats such a simple statement. But, its much easier said than done definitely.

Spoke to a friend this week and the person was telling me, its so easy to trust God with big faith, but its so hard to use our small faith to trust God. Many times when things happen, people always say its only a case of coincidences. But come'on, how many coincidences in life can you get? How will things always fall in place so nicely, one after another, if there is no spiritual intervention?

I never believe in coincidence, because Holy Spirit revealed and taught me years back, that when things happen, it happen for a cause. Even u learnt it in sch, for everything, there is a cause and effect. So the cause is what? The cause is God doing something in our life, and we will soon see the effects.

When we do things by faith, it seems so difficult, because we are stepping into the unknown. Everyone of us have the fear of the unknown. We always want to stay in our comfort zone, refusing to step into the next level.. But that means that you are short changing your own destiny.

Its always easy to live with big faith. But it is equally important to have small faith as well. WIthour small faith, your life will be in a total mess, and u start to take everything in its extreme... either u take things for granted or u just refused to do anything at all..Big faith is like walking on water, like apostle Peter, but having small faith goes down as small as having faith that God will keep u alive the next morning.

The key is never take things for granted. When that happens, you start to numb your soul to the Holy Spirit and God, and you begin to draw strength from everything except God himself. then when things happen, you quickly find yourself in a dry patch, where u feel so lost, so confused at what is actually happening.

Therefore, lets not let our reservoir run dry. Constantly fill up your reservoir with the word of God, with the rhema, with the revelations and love of God... then you will hear Him, and understand why things are happening in a certain manner.

He says:" Ask and you will find, seek and ye will receive"
