I’ll just post what I wrote to my church leaders over here. Do take time to reflect on it!
The first night, we had no agenda at all, so all the leaders had a time of waiting. We gathered alot of visions and things and then the message from God was really clear: We had all lost our first love.
We we’re so happy that the MYPG and LYPG and other things were settled that we felt contented with ourselves. It was so shocking, but we realize we didn’t love God enough.
After that, all we got was Hosea 6:1-8
Come, let us return to the LORD.
He has torn us to pieces
but he will heal us;
he has injured us
but he will bind up our wounds.
After two days he will revive us;
on the third day he will restore us,
that we may live in his presence.
Let us acknowledge the LORD;
let us press on to acknowledge him.
As surely as the sun rises,
he will appear;
he will come to us like the winter rains,
like the spring rains that water the earth.”
What can I do with you, Ephraim?
What can I do with you, Judah?
Your love is like the morning mist,
like the early dew that disappears.
Therefore I cut you in pieces with my prophets,
I killed you with the words of my mouth;
my judgments flashed like lightning upon you.
For I desire mercy, not sacrifice,
and acknowledgment of God rather than burnt offerings.
Then we got the message that we weren’t desperate enough and that we were too arrogant. We talked about revival but we couldn’t even pray through the night. We all thought we were so important since the MYPG and other prayer meetings were going smoothly that we forgot that its God who allows us the victory. Someone said this;
“Seek not the revival, but the GOD of the revival”
We also got the message that we weren’t broken enough. Hosea 6: 1 says that God will tear us to pieces and then restore us. And just nice in verse 2, the FWP was really 3 days, so this passage became our main theme throughout the FWP.
Anyway, on monday we started with the FWP and the main theme was repentance and seeking God once again. I really think that God put the burden on our hearts to pray. We really got so many visions and confirmations that led to show that our hearts were still not right with God.
Then that night we had a special two hour prayer. There were 2 groups, one was the group which would be praying in tongues for 2 hours, which I joined and the other one which was led by a band from KL called by Yoshua. I can’t really explain the whole time. We really got so many visions and confirmations during that time.
The amazing thing is that many people got visions related to:
farming like Hosea 10:12, James 5:7, numbers 33:55 – How we need to farm our hearts
Timid lions – how christians were timid and unready to be used
and during the 2 hour prayer, visions of fire and confirmation – Isaiah 64:2
And really got alot more. But most of the visions relate to a change of heart.
What struck me most was that the fellow MYPG leaders have these gifts so abundantly. In my personal walk I’ve asked God to show me signs but yet when I saw at first I was skeptical. Then i realized that this squared with the theme earlier; we ask for stuff from God but in the end reject it when it doesn’t fit our plans. I even fell asleep when they were confirming the visions. Repented already
Then there was the theme of being broken. Most of us prayed to be humbled since that was another theme of the whole thing.
So now, I’m back and I feel more inclined to continue the LYPG then ever, but first I believe that our youth have to totally change the way they think about being a christian.
Oh yeah, we reached JB at 6+ in the evening. Half dead now.
God bless,
Ezra
