I had a good night's rest the previous night and we woke up around 630 in the morning so that we can go for early breakfast, get ready for morning service.


Breakfast was pretty good. It was buffet style, so all you can stuff down yourself. Hahaha... Anyway, it has got cereal, porridge, beehoon, nasi lemak, hash-brown, pancakes, omelette, bread, be it chinese, malay, western breakfast you want, you'll get it. Although its not that FANTASTIC, it's still acceptable. Well, I had bit of everything.


Morning Service was awesome! We had service, know what are the ways we should behave as Christians or the qualities. Are we willing to sacrifice for God. Pastor talked about a story of a Pastor in faraway Korea. When the enemy had dug a pit for his wife and kids and threaten the pastor to denounce God or his wife and kids will be killed. He had to choose between God and his family. His wife encouraged him not to denounce God. For they will die anyway if he should do that, but the difference is that they won't be together in heaven. So he had to bear the pain of watching how his wife and kids die in front of him. Which leads to the importance of convictions. It is vital. Without it, we'd be like being tossed to and fro, which will lead to self-condemnation & guilt. Like what we learned last night, about being strong and courageous, as we will face sufferings, which in turns will show us how strong a person's conviction is. i.e. Without giving a person a chance to be disobey, how would we know if he's obedient.

Anyway, I decided to put all the lessons learnt in another topic, go to that topic to know more!

Well, on the first night, I forgot to mention, God touches a lot of hearts, and many of the youths called for repentance and asked for forgiveness. They were crying, weeping and shaking as the Holy Spirit touches them. And many of them were baptised in the Holy Spirit, meaning they can now speak in tongue! Like I receive this gift when I was 2 weeks old in the Lord.

Speaking in tongue is like a language of the angels, sometimes when we pray, we just seems to run out of words, so speaking in tongues, is just to communicate to the Lord, Jesus, Holy Spirit, for he knows our hearts desire. Even myself don't know what I'm communicating about, but there are times when I'd weep as I pray in tongue.

This time round, the lord decided to do something else. As the core leaders and pastors called forth for those who want to receive a father's blessings, my cell-group leader went up, as her dad passed away before she received Christ. Here's the conversation between Pastor Eric and her:
- "God wants you to have another name"
- "You mean I have to change my name?"
- "You have to pray about it"
- "Hmm... You mean 'Princess'"
He smiled
- "They call me Princess mama"
They both laughed.

Yes, in my group, we are called the Princesses of Peace, so meaning we are an all girls' group, reaching out to ladies of all age, status. I've not been really told about the group's mission statement, how this group started out, will blog another time. But importantly is to let all the ladies out there to know that: We are precious, and deserve to be treated like a princess, so precious and not like a door-mat to be stepped on all over the place!

So based on the above conversation, can safely say that our group's name is endorsed by God Almighty! Hehehe Praise God

Oh, on the second night, after I asked to be prayed for, I was told by Paul & Dorcas, both of them are ministers and are husband and wife. Dorcas told be to read up Deuteronomy 28, about the blessings for Obedience, so I gotta fully obey the lord. Oh, and guess what Paul told me after praying for me, as a father figure. He said:
"Lynn, I don't know why, but God wants me to tell you that You're Cool"

Hahaha, God's so sweet... I think I'm anything but Cool, based on the world's definition, of course, as the pastors always say: We are in the World, but not Of the World. Go figure. ^_^
-----------------------------------

After church service, we went straight to Eagle's Ranch. It was about 45 min drive from the resort. We had a buffet lunch there, the food was so-so. And after the lunch, straight away it was time for GO-KART! Yeah, we made reservations and we had the whole track to our church! Each person is entitled to 4 laps, and we were divided into 2 groups, and each groups of 4 teams.
We listened to the person to explain the rules and etc.. And for hygiene purpose, we were given a disposable cap to wear before wearing the helmet. It's rather gross... Once I get the photos, you should see how I looked in the shower cap! Anyway, the Kart was really kinda fast for me, don't really liked, and I was stopped by the in charge and told not to knocked behind the kart of the one in front of me, as it could cause neck-injury! Ooops....

Oh, and after Go-kart, I went into the aircon room! It was HOT and sweaty out there man! There my leader was sharing something, so I sat down and listen.

I wanted to go for archery, but my friend told me that the queue was so long, and there was only 2 shooting target! Aiyo... Anyway, just that Go-Kart makes me quite tired already. So I slept on the coach on the way back to the resort.

I decided to go back to my rooms and asked my other roomies to go and buy dinner back to the room. Soooo tired...
-----------------------------------

After showering and having dinner, it was time for service. That night we learned about having the keys to the kingdom. After the lessons, the pastor wanted to pray for all the impacters. Impacters are the youths who are still schooling. They formed a U-shaped near the stage and all the others stood behind them and began to pray in tongues, and as the Holy Spirit set himself on, all the impacters gotten slain. All of them fell to the ground at the same time. It was awesome! Indescribable! They started shaking, crying loudly out to God... WoW! The presence of God was there! He's with us!
Side note: Getting Slain in the Holy Spirit means yielding to the Holy Spirit and letting Him touch you. You'd feel light and just fall, losing your might. Not to worry, as God's protecting, no one will get hurts even if there's no one to catch hold of you. Important thing is to YIELD to Him.
