Anyway, was thinking of posting this tmr (i mean, later) instead but I guess God wants me to post it now HAHAHA. Was scrolling through my photo album in my phone and came across this picture that I took while giving my wall a lil makeover.
Your fire that burns the brightest even in the darkest of nights.
And coincidentally, it kinda matches with something I received during last week's service.
\
Last week, I dont know is it just me or maybe because the seating plan was changed, I felt that the whole spiritual atmosphere during praise and worship was so amazing. (I'm not trying to imply that other weeks are not good, it's just that last week was particularly wow for me). The spirit was flowing through the whole place, and I couldn't help but smile widely during praise and tearing up during worship (not bipolar ok). God's presence was just so evident there and then. (on a side note... GOOD JOB WORSHIP TEAM)
During worship, Jesus I live, I received a vision from God (I'm gonna claim it by faith).
I saw a person covered in injuries. (warning: photo ahead may cause some discomfort LOL)
Cuts, burnts, etc in this case, represents:
1. The hurt we receive from the world (criticisms, insults, break-ups, sour relationships, family, abuse (emotionally and physically) and many many more)
2. The hurt we receive from our own sins that we are committing.
Then, in front and above of the person, there was a ray of light and a pair of open arms.
Open arms represents:
God with His arms open wide.
"Come to me, those who are tired and weary, and I will give you rest. "
Matthew 11:28
Then, what came to me was two choices/responses.
1. We can choose to turn towards God and run into his open arms.
2. We can choose to turn away from God and continue living life according to what we think it's best. Denying His love and continue living with the pain and shame. (when it may not be the case)
Acts 3:19
19 Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord,
Luke 5:31-32
31 Jesus answered them, "It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. 32 I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance."
During the next song, 10,000 reasons.
I saw another vision:
Spirits (or rather, people.) rising up into the heavenly realms.
Spirits of the people represents:
People who are being saved by the grace of God.
Acts 1:8
8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”
~Still my soul will sing your praise unending.
Praising You in whatever circumstances we may be in.
Praising isn't about how good or bad of a situation we may be in, but we praise because God is always good.
We'll still praise, we'll still sing.
"Dear God,
Firstly. I just want to thank You for Your unending love. Your abundant amount of love. I always fail you time and again, and sometimes I wonder "why..? ". Yet God, You still love me, You never forsake me. God I pray, I want to be more like You. More like You and less of me God. God, I repent. I'm sorry for always falling short of your standard. And I pray, for those who are hurt be it physically mentally or emotionally, I pray for your healing to be upon them. I pray that they'll receive your healing by faith. Even for those who have not accepted you into their lives, God I pray that it'll be evident that the supernatural healing comes from You. For nothing that we succeed in is by our own strength, but it's from You. Thank you Jesus. More of You, less of me. "
Hillsong United - Consuming Fire
There must be more than this,
O breath of God come breathe within,
There must be more than this,
Spirit of God we wait for You.
Fill us anew we pray,
Fill us anew we pray.
(Chorus)
Consuming fire fan into flame,
A passion for Your Name,
Spirit of God would You fall in this place,
Lord have Your way,
Lord have Your way with us,
Come like a rushing wind,
Clothe us with power from on high,
Now set the captives free,
Leave us abandoned to Your praise.
Lord let Your glory fall,
Lord let Your glory fall.
Stir it up in our hearts Lord,
Stir it up in our hearts Lord,
Stir it up in our hearts Lord,
A passion for Your Name.
