Hey guys, i know im supposed to share about my spiritual life etc. but i kinda got an urgent prayer request...
The classmate I'm witnessing to is interested to go for the camp but his parents are TOTALLY against Christianity... Yeah, he told me that his parents immediately stated NO when he asked his parents about the Transformers Camp... So I suppose we could pray for him. Conviction does not come from us, though, it comes from the Holy Spirit. Yeah and about my spiritual walk...
Not as long as Josh... xP but I think that it is pretty... ok in that sense... but I'm still trying to understand Pastor Adrian's message... Yeah and I "feel" that God is doing something mighty in the Youth Ministry and Satan is trying to fight back. Hard. So we could keep praying for the Youth Ministry, for Pastor as he is ministering to us and the apparent devil attack shown in Priscilla. But we believe God can do anything amen? And remember to pray for our classmates/ collegues/students/friends/slaves etc. that God will appear to them and they will see the LIGHT!!! Yeah and we gotta pray for each other. Cos the devil kinda hates us all... So we gotta make a stand and kick the devil in the butt when he comes to tempt us. Of course we cannot do it by our own strength. God is the only one who can strengthen us divine-ly to stand guard against the devil attacks. In Ephesians 6:14-18, Paul is talking about the armor of God. This verse kinda stands out to me.
"And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints" Eph 6:18
Not only must we put on the armor of God, we gotta praying in the Spirit. Oh yah, the armor of God, in summary, is...
-Belt of Truth
-Breastplate of Righteousness
-Shoes filled with the Gospel of peace. (need some help interpreting this part)
-Shield of Faith
-Helmet of Salvation
-Sword of the Spirit.
I suppose these "items" can help us against devil attacks... Right? Hehe...
Another part I want to share about is in 2 Peter 2:1-22. To summarise it up, it is talking about false teachers during the end times. (which is about now... I think). Yeah so looking around, it seems kinda true right? All these talk about evolution and other stuff. They are all out to stop the Truth from spreading. I just wanna share this point so that we can all be geared up and ready for the next blow the devil will send. Cos if we are doing all these (serving in the Youth Ministry... different areas) in God's will (which I believe we all are) then the devil will go out to all odds to try to stop us, in terms of circumstances, emotional issues etc. I mean, when you tell someone secular about the Good News (generally, from what I've seen) they will think you are some kinda weirdo and they do not want to have anything to do with you. During Pastor's message on Sunday, he mentioned about righteous anger. It is frustrating right, seeing a lotta people rejecting the Good News. Ok lar, from what my classmates were telling me, they just cannot believe that Christ died for us. Christ died for us cos He loves us right?
"But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us" Romans 5:8
"For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus" Romans 3:23-24
Yeah, just want to end off with these few verses...
"For he himself is our peace, who has made the two one and has destroyed the barrier, the dividing wall of hostility" Ephesians 3:11
"You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what he has promised"Hebrews 10:36
"Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you" 2 Peter 5:7
Yup... that's about all I have to share today.
God bless all of you amen,
Yong Quan
P.S this is abt 2 month's worth of... stuff

hey yong quan,
haha. it's really cool to see how ure so excited about God and so readily sharing the gospel with your friends and all that. it's cool man! haha. all i wanna say is, don't let your passion run dry and keep asking God to fill u up to overflowing! :)
hello yong quan!
i seriously wish i'd the same level of spiritual passion as you when i was in sec1. it's really so amazing to think of how God can potentially use you! so must keep striving to be humble and malleable before God.
as for your friend, continue praying for him that his parents' hearts will be softened. and even if they really don't let him go this time, you can still continue to witness to him right? like pray with him, share how God's working in your life, give him a Bible and let him discover God's Word for himself... there're so many other ways for you to reach out to him, so don't be disheartened if he can't come for this camp! :)
