day twenty-five

man...i wish this journey went on and on, because God is always at work, and i cannot stop blogging about His profound movement!

today was a spiritual awakening day. it felt like such a long day, and it reminded me of this verse: But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day. (2 Peter 3:8)

i am going to list today's happenings...

1. was late to class and became very stressed about school
2. came home quite depressed, decided to play guitar, had a little worship session with God, felt completely at ease and comforted
3. met with Jenn to hear her testimony to start working on the songs. act of love: bought her a subway footlong sandwich (vegetarian style)
4. went with Jenn to Starbucks to get a drink. act of love: bought her a sugar-free, caffeine-free drink
5. Jenn and i each had half of a footlong sandwich left, and we walked on the drag to find someone give our sandwiches to! (act of love)
6. went with Jenn to Campus House of Prayer for a revival prayer meeting. some really amazing things happened: while i was praying, i couldn't concentrate sometimes, but at one moment, i felt, so strongly, the "being" (not just presence) of God right next to me on the left, where Jenn was sitting! at that moment, the presence was so strong and powerful, i could not turn to look. at that point, i knew that it was the fear of God! at first i thought it was Jenn's intimacy with God that made Him so close to us, but later i told her about it, and she said she also felt it on her left, haha!
7. Jenn received healing tonight, complete healing. we declare victory! she opened up to people and shared her story. a group of people prayed and prophesied over her, and lauren and i laid hands on her to pray for healing! (Jenn's prophecies included grasshopper, vegetables, the story of Moses...etc.)
8. when we were all praying as one group for Jenn, i asked myself whether i should go up and pray for her later, had some doubts...but lauren came up to me and asked if i would be willing to pray for Jenn! without any hesitation, i felt led by the Holy Spirit to go up and pray. i was a bit scared at first, but the moment i opened my mouth, i felt like God was leading the prayer. i didn't know what to pray for, but He provided the words! towards the middle, i started shaking, and i couldn't stop! and i knew that that was God shaking me :)

i feel so revived right now, i don't want to stop praying and sit in His presence completely soaked,

p.s. jenn and i met the old lady i mentioned in my previous posts. her name is esperanza, she doesn't speak english. we tried talking to her and asking if she needed anything, like blankets. she wasn't very friendly...so we left. but we tried! the rest is in God's almighty hands :)
