My walk so far

Today, my evangelism class teacher was an old woman. not really really old kind. She was an ex-GP teacher from SRJC, she was really funny. She was sharing her testimony about how she backslided when she was 15 coz she tot christianity was totally hypocritical. And she only got back to the Lord after 20 years. Entering the church to spy on her niece, she felt the presence of the Lord and just wept. The message that was being preached by pastor Seaward was What's the purpose of your life? She ran up to the altar for the altar call.
In 1996, her second son, a straight A's student from RJC was killed within a day after an accident on a bicycle. She wrote a book about it, " triumph through tragedy" never read it before. But, her even being the evangelism teacher and going to East Timor next month for 2 years in the mission field speaks volumes.

Testimony.
That's what touches people. this class left me thinking about what i have to tell people about the reality of my walk with God.
If i cant tell them how real God is to me, there's no incentive for them to wanna know my God right?

Not letting the devil rob my testimony, i shall type this down in my blog, so that i'll never forget it.

Although i have received Christ in my heart since my primary schooldays, i guess i could say i backslided due to several reasons.
However in sec 3, when i found a reality in Christ, i was totally changed, although i cant say an immediate one. it took sometime for the holy spirit to mould me. Sec 1 and sec 2, i was super vulgar. the f word, and all the hokkien expletives. aiyo. and also, i was easily agitated and horribly short tempered. You could ask any of my sec 1 sec 2 classmates or even some of the band people, i'm sure some of them will remember. what a far cry from wad i am now. although i'm no saint or wad, and i still get angry sometimes. I really thank God for changing me, that's the joy of my salvation. Without God, i cant imagine how life would have been. I would have been that person i once was.

Also, there are many incidents of God showing up in my life.
the first time God spoke to me, was on an overhead bridge across the expressway, on the way home. (this was in sec 4) While i was praying for God to tell me what to do. was having some ministry problems, people were quarreling because of me, and i was in the middle of a fight, used as a weapon for some politics in the ministry i would say. It was so bad, that the pastor even had to come to mediate. I was so frustrated, i wanted to quit the ministry. But, God told me to wait for the coming tuesday's prayer meeting. So, tuesday came and never ever in a prayer meeting that i've been to, that anyone prophesized, but on that very tuesday, pastor perry prophesized about perseverance, cant remember what all was said. i just knew that some guy came over and took over the drums, and i stood up, and wept and lifted up my hands. and up till now, i'm still in that same ministry. Praise God.

Second time was during a very emotionally turbulent period i was going through last year. Some bgr thing, dun wanna talk about it. Anyway, the geist of it, is that there was an altar call during our youth service. I went out and pray so hard, i remember praying to hear his voice. Then, my youth minister came to me and prayed for me. (he didnt know about my situation) and he pray for me to not be anxious about my loved ones. For He is going to send someone more beautiful, better to you. I cried like crazy, coz when God shows up in your life, and tells you a bunch of stuff about it that you dun wanna hear. haha. you just cry.

Third time was during youth camp last december. On the last night of camp, when pastor jude was giving his last service, i had a sudden bout of fever, and i started shivering in my seat. i was practically dying in my seat. my teeth were chattering too. when he asked all of us to stand up, i couldnt muster enough energy to stand, coz i was so tired and sick. i knelt down on the floor. Looked really religious, haha. Anyway, i prayed to God to heal me, i said like this is the last day, i wanna see something happen." then, lo and behold, i was healed. I had like adrenaline pumped into me or something, i went down to pray for my friends who were praying for the holy spirit, and cried and shouted with Tim and Jermyn. That was one heck of a revival night for them. Jermyn received the Holy spirit in the most radical way. haha. he got it in the shower back in the hotel room, and tim was just crying and shouting, i just went over and did the same with him. Gosh. God is really awesome. God always shows up on time. Thank God.

I pray that anyone who reads this will understand that God is real. You can ask me, ask jermyn or any other christian, we share our passion, because there is a reality. Why will we share in something that is not real?
Taste and see that the Lord is good. Amen. (:
