Encounter Session.
"Indeed, it is a life changing event"
"This have changed my life, have it changed yours?"
"Have your crossed your invisible line?"
"If you see a need, fill it. Because that's your calling."
For those who never go, you must be wondering what am i saying?
Session 1 -> Pst Zhuang.
Pst Zhuang shared how he overcome his persecution by his family and yet still love his family. Never he turned away from God but he did suffered. Let the story begins......
Zhuang and YK gave their life to God when they were 16 and 18 years respectively. There was time that they say they were going to library.... They did go but borrowed one book and went church after that. And one day, they finally decided to tell their parents about their belief.
Nevertheless, they were caned and many times friends ridiculed them for the bruises on them but they never give up on God. Every week they went church, every week they never failed being caned. Many times, they will have to stand outside the door to press the bell for 2 hours before they could get in and get caned. ( i would just not go home )
During eve of chinese new year, their parents specially instructed them not to go to church or else they will disown them. They replied "ok". Guess what they did? Yup, you are right. They left their house long before their parents could wake up and stop them. They felt such strong presence of God in church and they wept. Being obedient, they went back immediately without fellowshiping. Nevertheless, they were DISowned! They went to some church members' houses,watching them having their reunion dinner. Feeling so heavy in their heart. (is believing God that difficult? Nope but is the life living as a christian.)
Many times they called their parents.
"Dad, can we go home?"
"Unless you pray to our ancenstor, i will let you home."
"Dad, i love you but i can't pray to your ancenstor."
Dad fumed and slammed the phone.
2 hours later, after praying and worshipping God.
"Dad, can we go home?"
"Since you don't wish to pray to our ancenstor. Unless you offer incense to our ancenstor, i will let you home."
"Dad, i love you but i can't offer incense to our ancenstor."
Dad angrily slammed the phone.
2 hours later, after praying and worshipping God.
"Dad, can we go home?"
"Since you don't wish to offer incense to our ancenstor. Unless you bow down our ancenstor, i will let you home."
"Dad, i love you but i can't offer incense to our ancenstor."
However, they still went back with the companion of Brother kenneth.( or Yong not very sure) They pressed the bell for an hour, their father came out with bamboo stick and whacked them. After that they were called in to shower and after the shower, they were STILL given Ang Bao.
Seeing the persistence of Pst Zhuang and YK, does it moves your heart? What's is the little fever, flu, cough, tiredness? I have overcame my persecutions, did you have had yours or still having?
Session 2
Prayer mtg. What shocked me the most is Guo Xiang does pray very well. She improved so drastically that i was abit stuned by it but it was a good stun. I pray for more stuns to be done in our cell group.
Session 3
Long story. Very Long story.
It started with "Do you honestly believe in your gut that one person can make a difference?"
Slowly linking it to standing between the living and the dead. Shall share more in cell group or outings and stuff haha.
The conclusion, i was very happy that i did go for that encounter session.
No words can be used to describe.
No images can form my thoughts.
No expressions can express my feelings.
Only one conclusion, God is truly God.( take some time to digest this haha)
