What's next?

...is a question I've been questioning God since.

"Wait on Him. Wait on His voice."

Its been a pretty amazing days, these past few days, I felt the fear of the Lord is awakening like never before. Never had I felt so scared with what's coming. We had couple of prayer meetings few days back and I remember just crying out and prayer in tears. You know why? Here is what I'm about to share. 

While listening to Pastors's message in church, one of the intercessors hand me over the programme book for 16Sept'12 morning service. Yes, the one with Eagle and Lion on the cover. She said to me "Keep this. 50 years later we won't be able to witness this anymore." Of course, she said it casually. I laughed lightly as well. But something strikes within me deeply. I don't know what is it. I was just fearful. How is it gonna be 50 years later? Its a long way to go but that's what I was thinking at that moment. 

The next thing I knew, the burden came from IDontKnowWhere. I was crying out for the younger generations. How many out there are God fearing? I don't know. But I'm positive there is! 

My fear is that we're gonna burn passionately but only for some time and then the disease of being lukewarm will come and infect us. 
My fear is that we'll lose our patience in the process of waiting on God's voice and act on our own. Too many of 'actions' but less of 'praying'.

I committed everything to the LORD. No matter what people might say, let Him lead the way and just follow Him, shall we?
Prophet Jeremiah was spreading God's word to the people, but they don't listen.
A list of prophets came after that and not all hear them out and obey. There is a 400 years of silence before the times New testament starts. Not even one prophet. There must be a reason for that. Let's set our focus right, made right with God and start to care for the younger generations.



Let's pray for the strength to be patient and wait upon the LORD.
Let's keep on praying and crying out for the younger generations, the current generation, the body of Christ, the country, more revelation from above and let's walk hand in hand until we experience breakthrough and beyond, that reaches to the ends of this earth!

Be blessed!
Nethy.

A day to bless Malaysia!

Last sunday, 16 September 2012, the whole body of Christ in KK and beyond witnessed and celebrated Malaysia Day together in two big, significant venues - Padang Merdeka & Stadium Likas.
Different venues with the same purpose - A day to bless Malaysia! =)

The morning service starts at 8AM in Padang M.
The praise & worship team, all dressed in their respective traditional attires, led the congregation into deep worship. A very meaningful, solemn morning service I would say. Because exactly 8AM, 49 years ago (16 September 1963), a very meaningful, solemn event has taken place in the same venue.
It was a very touching moment when Pastor Jerry prayed for the land and ask God for forgiveness for our past leaders. I thought I was the only one who got emotional on that. It turns out most of the others felt the same thing! And with so many young people who came and join together in prayer, worship and sitting under the hot burning sun was delightful as well. We even took the Lord's supper together at the end of the service! 
Watching the native leaders to take the lead and made strong, firm declarations of God's words upon the land and the people (everyone!) moved me into thinking - "This is gonna be historical. And we're all watching history in the making." 

Heaven watched. Angels watched. It was awesome!

The evening celebration was joyful and awesome as well! Energetic and passionate worship team. Tambouriners. Banner bearers. Flag bearers. Drummers. Shofarers. God is moving people!!
We had a scary weather the night before and we had some disturbances technically. But praise God! He is able to do all things! We had a great night of celebration and fireworks. =)
Witnessing different churches joining in together is simply amazing...! 

Over 10,000 people came. And I'm sure everyone is blessed to be a blessing.
All glory to God. Forever and ever. Amen.

YLTC 2

Venue: Kionsom Retreat Baptist Centre
Date: 30 September – 2 October 2011
            …and so I got there with Kenny only during the second day.


Had a refreshing time there with the Lord.  At this point of writing, I’m not sure what to write (It had been awhile I’d last write something long). Be patient with me and read through patiently as I unwind my packed thoughts while writing this down. I am not sure what to expect when I join this camp. Or maybe, give? But anyhow, I know something’s gonna happen there. So here it goes… These are all during the sermons by Ps. Ong (like before, Imma do it in point form for easy reading and mind-processing) =) :

1) If you love God, you will obey Him.
Love birthes obedience. True love hates sin, it will not have anything to do with sin. We should love God more than our life (obey God). If we truly love God, we will realign our life plan ACCORDING TO HIS COMMANDMENTS and we will stop live life recklessly (dengan sewenang-wenangnya)
If we live in disobedience, we won't experience God's presence because God hates sin!
  
John 14:15-26 [Jesus promised us Holy Spirit] 
Holy Spirit is the spirit of truth. The "world" represents unbelievers. He is not given to the "world" but to God's people. But nowadays, even God's people deny/reject Holy Spirit because they do not know Holy Spirit.

Develop a deep relationship with Holy Spirit. IT IS CRUCIAL (sangat penting!) Because without Him, we would not mature in Christ and would not progress spiritually. Remember that we are from dust and will go back to dust~ Don't depend on our dust-liness strength. (When you think you're strong on your own feet only, think again.) Depend on God (D.O.G.)! We are living our spiritual life because Jesus is alive, He has risen from the dead.

Stop being hypocrite and stop living for this "world". It is harder to live for Satan than for Jesus. Living for Jesus gives us joy, peace, serenity and harmony (It does!!)
Live righteously (Hidup dalam kekudusan). Don't follow your emotions but fear the Lord. (Yeah, don't let your emotions deceive you. I've been there and it really stings. Deal with your emotions, trust me, Holy Spirit will help you get through it. You'll be amazed!) 
Live a life with principles (of God, of course~), according to His commands.

2) PADI (bukan mamam...)
John 15:8-13 [Be fruitful]
P- persekutuan@fellowship
A- alkitab
D- doa
I- injilkan

No matter what, protect the body of Christ by obeying His words and be wise... Live for Jesus, not for your emotions. 
When choosing a partner, think carefully and PRAY. Don't rush but ask God about it and listen (when listening, come to God with a neutral mind because sometimes we tend to create an answer and assume that its God's voice padahal suara hati kita sendiri!) [Jangan tersenyum2 baca nie blog sudah la ah..]
See how things go about that person. Is he suitable or not? Does he fear God or not? Does he say grace when during your 1st date or not? 
(Notice that boy-girl relationship is very much highlighted during the camp, right? I think its a call for youths to really rise up and make a difference in our distorted youth lifestyle. Biar orang nampak kita lain daripada yang lain. Sebab they need to know the truth and the truth will set them free~~~ Dare to be different! One influenced person can influence the rest of the people ^^) 

If I am spiritually healthy, I will proclaim the Good News to people no matter how.
After this camp, when you're alone, satan will IMMEDIATELY attack you through your mind, play around with your thoughts, try his best to inject negative thoughts in your head. FIND an accountability partner!!! Don't be alone and keep all your feelings to yourself! Join fellowship... (In our fellowship, we share what we've gone through the days and just share to the group what we are having and we'd encourage one another through His words and lastly pray for one another. So, fellowship IS important!)

Final thoughts: Every camp, God is giving something new in each and every one of us. Keep expecting more from God. Keep your fire burning. Be sensitive to Holy Spirit. If you fall, quickly run to Jesus and confess your sins. He is ready to forgive... 

"If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just 
and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness." -1 John 1:9

I don't know when we will meet again but till we do, lets keep on praying for one another and be an agent of transformation that carry God's love wherever we go. Ada Amen? 


Amen... ^^
