service feedback 15/3/08 - Regaining Lost Authority

alexandra
God spoke to me about the excuses part. i really got to trust in God and believe that He is why He is, even when things do not work out, even when the devil seems to be triumphant, i don't have to try and defend God's decisions. that's His business to decide what is what and it's mine to be faithful!

today's sermon taught me that we should be prayerful because we are constantly in a spiritual warfare. and i am reminded about the camp theme this year. and i have let go of my stronghold.

today's sermon was a wake-up call and i learnt to really take the Bible and treat is like it's worth. i learnt to not just read the Bible for the sake of reading it but instead really treat it like something that will give me life.

i learnt about the tactics used by satan in spiritual warfare. to deceive, dominate and destroy. to deceive is to compromise truth, which breeds uncertainties and gives room to doubt and lost authority. but satan's powers are based on lies and he is in constant fear of us, that we'll realise our power. what struck me was sometimes we fear for embarassment for God that He might not answer the prayer and therfore end up not praying, don't come up with excuses for God ! unanswered prayers are none of our business. our role is to pray. also learnt the difference between trials and burdens. we should never take God's words just as good advice. we cannot be POWS, purely contented with surviving. we must be overcomers.

i'm excited about next week's sermon! taking the Bible seriously, is going to really change my life. i'm grateful for what was shared today! very happy that the truth was spoken and it's been quite a long while since i've really felt so alive in God's truth again that i was really dancing with joy at altar call and shouting that the devil has NO MORE PLACE IN MY LIFE !!!! i need to get that truth in every day's dealings so i cannot be lied to anymore. btw, the two verses Ps Daniel said to read after service gave me a good wake-up call. Ros' testimony also is tremendously encouraging. i learnt alot today (like how we should NOT say satan is king over the earth) ! hopefully a more thorough study at Bible Study one day can be conducted if possible :)

gracia
wow! :) yeah. i did expect God to speak to me, but i didn't expect so much! like, from the testimony by ros onwards, God used it and the sermon and altar call to speak to me, and i'm just really glad that He did :) i pray that i will apply all that i have learnt today into my life., so that i may draw closer to God and see more people love and know God :)

God spoke to me that whatever circumstances i face must first always pray before anything else. i am reminded that God's promises are true and He won't give it up, and that all His plans are perfect. i learnt to be more aware of distinguishing between trials and burdens. cos i'm facing a somewhat crisis right now so i shall pray for my family ... T.T

it was good! it really spoke to me about acknowledging, claiming the victory that Jesus had already won! God taught me that i should step out of POWand start living victoriously because Victory is in His blood.

i learned during discipleship about serving others for God. doing what God wants us to do even if we might not like it and being confident in Him and not just looking at the outcome. we have to constantly be asking God how we can serve Him.

God spoke to me that I have been ignorant of His promises and sometimes chose to believe that the devil is more powerful than God Himself. I've to set myself free before I could even free others. Which to hold tightly to his everlasting promises and not compromising in times of trials. And His is word is life, I must receive it daily by taking time to read the bible wholeheartedly, instead of rushing through it. and I must remember that I have the POWER in me to overcome things in the spiritual realm. I am not a survivor I am an overcomer.

tdy was really powerful! we are MORE THAN conquerors and we just need to reclaim all that Jesus has given to us. and God's word is so important. it makes me want to go back and really study my bible word for word, bcos it really is God' slove letter to me. and the truths that i find out will set me free! cannot wait for God to speak so much more each day.

eileen
yup :) pass few days i have been pretty affected because i asked God for a miracle during the performance, but it didnt happen. i have been coming up with reasons to justify that, but today i was really shaken by what pastor danial shared that there is no reason for decission God makes i keep coming up with powerless excuess but still am dissapointed am upset. But i never realise the best reason is no reason God just decides and i dont question. that made me feel better and i now know not everything is a trial.

Great sermon! as usual.. haha. and God spoke to me! =D as usual. hahah.well..guess it clearde up some of my uncertainty; doubts; questions that i have from long ago but keep forgetting to clarify.some of what Ps Dan. mentioned was really what i was doing. like giving excuses for God when the results wasnt what i expected and blurring the line between Trials and Burdens.i'm glad i've got a better view and understanding now! =Dall those times tt i asked Him why He allowed those unhappy stuff to happen eg. been scolded by teacher even though not my fault, was actually not trials but burdens from our unfriendly neighbour in the world, so...i realised that it's pointless asking God why why why and i sld just move on and praise Him in those circumstances =D
