Divine Encounters

ok no pictures but God has been good to us. 

We had been interceding for the church. One of the aspects that I feel is needed is the Presence and the leading of the Holy Spirit in this place. I feel that the Chileans need to experience God in a tangible way. There seems to be a lack of encounters with God and spiritual hunger in this place. The conversations we had tend to be surface and shallow. We were praying that God wouldl lead us to the right people. People who have spiritual hunger for Him. I was moved to pray for the people to be Holy Spirit baptised. Holy Spirit baptism and speaking in tongues is very strange over here.

Last night, we had dinner with PS’s 2 friends. She met one of them a few days ago. One of them is a translator thus she can speak English very well. Before the dinner, PS and I prayed that we could go deep in our conversations, we were so tired of shallow conversations. We prayed that we could talk about spiritual matters.

During the dinner, the translator initiated the spiritual conversation. She and her friend started to share with us about their spiritual lives. She shared that she didnt believe in attending church alone. She believes that Christianity is about a relationship with God, not receiving Jesus as Saviour but as her Lord as well. She shared with us that she took 7 months to make this decision and how her life was changed ever since. She believes in walking with God and dying to herself everyday. She said that she and her friend prayed before meeting us. She was very tired of meeting people who dont love God!  While she was sharing, my heart just skipped with joy and excitement! I were like “yes! yes! I know what you are taking about!”

We told her that we prayed before that meeting too. I could really feel the connection between the 2 of us. Then she asked us if we were filled with the Holy Spirit. We shared with her our testimonies and they requested us to pray for them. They were so passionate in their prayers and so eager to receive the Holy Spirit. I was very moved just by praying for them. We prayed for a long time. Finally they spoke in tongues. Their joy and excitement were very contagious! All of us agreed that this meeting was very divine. God heard our prayers.

PS and I met another 2 gals for dinner tonight. Again we managed to talk about spiritual matters. I shared with them about all the healing stories in Singapore and they were very amazed by all the stories.

It’s very divine how God leads us this week. Please continue to pray for us. We are having youth English lesson tomorrow and CG on Monday. Pray for good turnout and lives be impacted. Gracias
