Perth City of Revival

Wow.. One month exactly from the last date I blog. Today is Poly's birthday. Called him and had a good chat with him just now. Haven't been talking with him for quite some time coz not meeting him in uni. So a bit of catch up with him.

Ok, back to my purpose of blogging today. Well, I just want to share how awesome my God is.
Yesterday was a big day for God. Many people came to him for salvation and His presence is just so real for me. We had Ps Alejandro Arias Naranjo for our service. He is a young man of God and has been called by God at a very young age (8 years old) to preach the gospel of Christ in many countries around the world including Venezuela, Colombia, Mexico and Central America. He is also one of the top ten youngest pastor in the world. Hearing from my senior pastor, Ps. Patrick and Ps. Joyce that God has actually sent Ps Alejandro here for Zion Praise Harvest. But he found Zion Community church or sth like that, name with Zion as well. But not Zion Praise Harvest. Somehow, God has his eye on our church. So, we have a lot of prayer meetings going on to prepare ourselves for that special day of God.

UWA service was on saturday with Ps. Alejandro as well. My friends who went to the service, have told me that they saw people falling, people shouting, people crying, gold dust in people's hand. God is just there. I have seen people shouting, people crying, people falling back home in my church. But not gold dust! It just doesn't seem real when I haven't experience it myself. Coz there's really no such thing as magic in the world. But Sara said with God, nothing is impossible.

So, here comes sunday. I was so excited to meet up with God, but at the mean time, I'm scared. I went to the church at 8.30 when is actually starts at 10.10am. We had prayer before the service. After the sermon, rows by rows went to the front of the stage, and everyone touched by Ps. Alejandro, just fell one after another. I can just see how God has worked through Ps. Alejandro. Holy Spirit just fell down on us. When it's my turn, I went down without fear, surrendering my whole self to God. I not sure whether Ps. Alejandro has touched me or not yet, but I just feel a strong... somehow I don't know how to describe that, and I just fell down. I know it's the holy spirit working on me. It's just too great. I was so weak at that particular time that I couldn't sit up myself. Because of the short time, we were quickly rushed to get up, so other people could get their turn since our church is so big with around 600 people turning up that day. I got gold dust in my hand. Pastor said it's the glory of God that has fallen upon us. I'm so joyful at that moment and I'll keep it good.

Besides, God also answered most the things in my prayer list that day. I wrote a prayer list of what I expect from God only for that Sunday, and He has answered all of them. Thank God for that. Also, miracles happen just right in front of me. People whose leg has been hurt and couldn't not climb the stairs, can just walk up directly right in front of us, after Ps. Alejandro prayed in public, not personally! But I believe my God is personal. He knows you by your name and He sees you. People whose back is hurt and can just bend down now! People who has hurt in their pain because of relationship, has seen light and no more pain for them. Wow!! Just right in front of me.. So amazing God! I see a generation, a wonderful church being moved in the spirit, changing, and seeing God. Knowing that HE is there.

Before the service ended, Ps. Alejandro prophesized that Perth will be the city of revival of God. He is going to come and build His kingdom here and it will be through Zion Praise Harvest. Then, he just touched my pastors, and they just fell! God is moving the people, the church.
