REVIVAL. what does it mean to me? well, before the message by Ps Ben 2 weeks back, it was merely a word - something that i know i'm suppose to want to see it happening. I realised that i didn't have my own version of revival.
However, the day when Ps Ben preached (7thOct), God began to spoke to my heart. "Am i desperate enough to cry out loud for my generation to be saved?" , i thought. I can't really remember what Ps Ben said exactly, but he mentioned something about one day our friends will be the ones asking whether they could go to church. Then, i can't remember what was the thing he said next, but my heart was just crying out, "it's such a simple reason why i want my friends to go to church! JUST TO KNOW GOD". It felt as though I've finally found an answer to whatever that was bothering be.
I didn't want to see my friends suffering in life, not knowing God and living a life that leads them to eternal death eventually. Furthermore, after what Douglas shared about his vision last Saturday, i got more fearful. I don't want my friends and family to end up being burnt and bleeding eternally. If i don't tell them about God, who would? Sometimes it is so discouraging when friends reject your offer and family members just doesn't agree with you, but God showed me on Saturday that if i don't pray for them, they might never ever have a chance to know God at all.
Be truthful, tell the TRUTH to our friends! I believe that God will bring in that 500 souls!! He hears our prayers :)
