Asia Conference [part FOUR] Part 4 is going to be about Pastor Phil's Sunday morning ordination service message. But before I begin, I'd like to say that you taggers have been very kind...I believe it must have been a hectic and exhausting 5 day conference from morning to night as much as it is exciting. I only went for like, 1.5 days out of 5. I suppose that's why i've got so much energy to write so much. i usually don't....haha. :p The Valley of Dry Bones Pastor shared that there are 4 reasons why the bones got dry. a) A wounded/broken spirit (Prov 17:22, Psa 64:3) b) A cutting spirit c) A bruised spirit (Isa 42:3) d) A poisoned spirit (Psa 143:3) As what have been mentioned in part 3 of the Asia Conference update, the purpose of AC is to revive dying visions and dreams. Pastor Phil didn't go detailed into the scriptures, but he shared that there are 2 things "the dead" will do: first they seek God in the old, and secondly they seek God in the negative (1 Jn 1:5). This message is a direct personal challenge to me. Many seek God. That's wonderful...but how many are seeking God in the new things? God is a God of the new. It can be difficult to follow Jesus because every single second God is doing something new through the Holy Spirit. Unless we really follow Christ closely, it can be very easy for us to think that the old wine is better than the new. What struck me most was the part when Pst emphasized to church leaders to have faith in the youths and allowing them to serve in church. He also spoke about it during the Fri midday session when he was prophesying. Man...I believe many church ministers will go back to their home countries and churches after the conference implementing radical changes. I love my church because it is one that that seeks God in the new constantly. The old is good, but God is creative (Elohim) and He has got many new ideas for us that we must catch from Him. Yup so that ends my 4 part series to Asia Conference! Hope u guys had a good read. I had a good time reading my own blog updates too....hahahha. ======================== I just finished my last paper today! No CGM this coming week....it's good to be given time off not just to rest after a hectic conference but that there is some time for us to meditate upon the messages. There were so many of them! Like a whole lifetime worth of messages has been preached forth already. Trying to make each and everyone make sense for myself personally. =) Labels: information 8:00 PM
