Yesterday was a renewing night with the Holy Ghost.

Dorcus' place was filled with the youth leaders and youth helpers of GTZ.

It turned out, not all leaders and helpers could make it for this meeting yet there was still an overwhelming response of crowd.

It was sort of stuffy at Dorcus' place, yet at the same time, the presence was nice and wonderful.

But one amazing thing was, instead of starting the meeting with the normal praise then worship, we went straight into worship. We sung for 1 hour plus, dwelling in the presence of our God, tears streamed down the eyes of the people and a deeper hunger grew within us. One level after another. From the outer court to the Holy of Holies, it was yet another encounter to be remember.

Cliff shared a word with us about fighting with a vision and passion. To be serious with discipleship and to multiply the people. He went further into the heart of the people and he shared about BGR too.

He said that if we wanna get into BGR just because of companionship, we might as well remained as friends as being friends also consisted as companionship, but relationship is different. It represented the decision of 2 persons who wanna to be together and eventually get married. It is about fulfilling dreams and vision and not only about feeling and emotions. And one thing he also said, we got to identify the season for us to get attached. If got to wait, mean got to wait. Accountability is also important, in relationship and other areas of life. Accountability keep us protected, keep us safe from the attack of the devils. Once we stopped accounting our life to our leaders, we lose the protection over our life.

The leaders prayed for us and there was a tremendous move of the Holy Spirit. Angela prayed for me and one thing she said remain in my heart, "like a tree planted by the river." And it hitted into my spirit that I might have period when I feel extremely dried up by I am a tree that is planted by the river of living water, whenever I am dried up, Holy Spirit will come and feed me with His living water so that I won't be dried up.

The whole thing ended with a mass prayer for the helpers yet the rest of the night was just a beginning.

We stayed behind for 1 more hour, talking to leaders. Followed by a guitaring session with Jian Feng as the guitarist and Reid as the music stand and the super funny part was though Jian Feng sung the worship song but it was as though he was singing to Reid. Haha... But it was a good time.

We parted our ways and sent out Reid and Wei Li to escort Isabel and Hui Zhen home while the rest of us rushed back home to complete CMS and admin stuffs.

It was a long night but as we leave, the presence of God was still with us.

And I know, from this day on, our life is never same again because...

My God is always with us!
