Day 4
The last day of the awesome YISS camp. That day we had a very special speaker , can't remember his name (sorry) but he is humorous! He prayed over people who still can't speak in tongues , and all the rest who can prayed in tongues for them. After that , few by few were able to speak in tongues. Praise and thank God!!! Everyone can speak in tongues , but if you deny the Holy Spirit or do not have the Faith and Love , the tongue you speak in is just gibberish.St Paul said something like that also in the letter to the Corinthians.
After that the speaker said something about our calling. Life is like a race , but christian life is like a relay. Saints and disciples of Lord Jesus had ran the race , and now is our turn. It is our choice whether to take the baton or not.
The speaker then ask , those who want to take the baton stand up and go to the front of the room.
Then inside me , i just have this super strong urge to go to the front and take the baton and lead a new life. There is this voice in me asking to go for it , overcome my fears and just have a leap of faith. So i went for it , i went to the front and the rest who gathered at the front prayed. I prayed in tongues as the Holy Spirit outpours upon us again. I am not sure but , i saw a vision. A vision of many candles , different in size and shape , in all sorts of patterns. The flames lit up one by one. I prayed to God in tongues , that everyone would spread the fire , and light up the world in God's love. And mankind shall be saved.
I also prayed for people like Cheryl , Esther and the people in the room. I prayed that my prayers would reach God , and God would reach them. I also prayed for more to people to experience the Father's love , so that more people would laugh with genuine happiness. I then hear laughter across the room as the Holy Spirit does his work. I heard Moses laughing very loudly! Hahaha. It's as though their laughters are communicating with one another. I am not sure , for i closed my eyes. But deep in my heart , i longed for everyone to smile and laugh in God's embrace. How beautiful will the world truly be!
After this session , we had the concluding mass. We received the prayer of discipleship , and i am not sure what the process is called , but we ate salt. The saltly taste in our mouths , to remind us of our mission as Christians. I remembered something John ( not sure is John the Baptist or St john ) said. Something about what is salt when salt has lost it's saltiness? How true. Are we going to let this faith last? Or just be Christians in name? I've chosen to strenghten my current faith , and pick up the baton.
I've taken the baton and started running in faith and love ,in God's track. What about you? (:
