yeps, Thursday and Friday was our encounter camp! BEFORE.
ok, honestly i don feel excited. having to wake up earlier than school timings, taking the long ride to TC. also, i have a lot of homework this week and was afraid some was being left out. but for God, i think all this are just minor problems.
DURING.
i feltquite sleepy, but still managed to stay awake. my guide was DunLing, she was GREAT. we had worship and then there was a session where a video was shown.
it was about a guy’s best friend who is hospitalized and died one day. he attended his best friend’s funeral. when everyone left, he saw his best friend standing next to him. both of them walked to some places and the guy realise about how sinful he was. he did not believe it and ran away. he ran to a desert, and saw Jesus being crucified. he tried to stop but to no avail. his best friend came and and told him how he could be saved. his sins were all pinned to the cross and Jesus turned the paper white again. he was forgiven.
while watching the video where Jesus was crucified. there was a strong feeling in me. Jesus died for our sins only, so that we could live. His death has cleared away our sins. really felt His love for us.
we were given a paper where lists of strongholds were written. we ticked our strongholds in our life and our past doings. we learned about sins too.
on the 2nd day, we found out about sin’s solution. God will forgive our sins, He will purify us from unrighteousness. He is faithful and just. we were also told that forgiveness is possible because of the work on the cross. we tore our paper of strongholds and nailed our names to the cross. i know that we would be forgiven by Him.
we learned about baptism. and we had a holy spirit session. most of us were being slained. i felt the holy spirit presense. it was God working within. it came upon me that God is really great. He was so forgiving and has never stop loving us. i just want to thank God for whatever he’s done for me, because i have not been a good daughter.
AFTER.
i was really amazed by what God can do. The power of God is stronger than Satan. Because of our faith, God can be near to us and listen. even though i felt small in my family, God told me that no matter how small i feel how abandoned i feel, He will always be there for me and love me. His love is so great, greater than anyone’s love.
i want to thank Lord for Kelly and DunLing. they were expectionally great guides. they were there to listen and to pray for us. they explain every detail clearly and they are so nice too. so i just want to thank Lord for them being our guide in this encounter camp. all this happened because of our Lord Father !
summary: i went with a heavy heart and came back with a lighter heart and filled with God’s love.
