spot the geek:



me and diana in suspenders top!! :D

anyway, i immersely enjoyed my Church day.

firstly it was B.darren's cell-group!
can't believe how many of us took quite some time to think of what we are blessed with and set apart from other non-christian believers. actually it is kinda tricky coz perhaps non-christian believers have them too? but seriously, i think it is the spiritual eye to be able to see and acknowledge the supernatural things in our lives and the grateful heart that set us apart as well.
we should all be able to like 2 seconds know what we are blessed in and how presence of God exists in our lives.

ok, to summarize for those who wasnt able to come for cell-group:

  • knowing (or having bible/head knowledge) of the presence of God is different from experiencing the presence of God
  • in the old times, there were 2 tablenacles. Acts 15:15
  • one was of David and the other of Moses
  • tablenacle= dwelling place of God = church
  • presence of God dwells in objects like in the ark of covenant which is placed in the holy of holies
  • HOWEVER, it is different now. presence of God exists in human beings instead of objects. 1 Cor 6:19 "Your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit.."


3 STEPS in Experiencing God in Your Life

Recognize the Presence of God
2 Sam 6:12
[Obed-Edom's household being super blessed coz Ark of Covenant was placed there]

Was there something that has happened to you that other people do not experience, as a Christian?
Recognize the difference that makes the difference!

Recognize the Purpose for the Presence of God in you
1 Chronicles 15:24
[Ark of Covenant taken from Obed-Edom-- Obed-Edom missed having God's presence and became active in ministry]

If you experience something good, you should just want to share it with others.

Be hungry for the Presence of God
When you are alone, or even when people are ridiculing you, what are you prepared to do for it?

2 Sam 7 [King David leaping in joy in thin un-king garments and basically embarrassing himself, in joy for having Ark of Covenant back to City of David]



When we praise God, we are praising God for a done deal. We celebrate that we (already) have the glory. We don't praise God as a "down-payment" for a later blessing. In praise, do not hold back. David was prepared to show God that he has the IT, and that he is thankful for IT.
