8PM - CONSECRATION AT HOLY HILL

Our first activity at prayer mountain started after dinner with our night climb up the "Holy Hill".

This is actually a cemetery on the hill next to the main entrance, where some well respected pastors are burried. You will not feel spooky at all in this cemetery, even in the darkness of night. The place feels exactly like a Holy Hill, a feeling of peace engulfed this place.

As you begin your climb, you may not see clearly in the dark, but you will hear voices of people praying around you. Some prayed aloud as a group. Some came individually, and just sat there and prayed through the night. It was an awesome feeling.

The activity wasn't really planned at first. Pastor and Gek led the team on an orientation walk after dinner. As they reached the main sanctuary, they saw the familiar big picture of Moses leading the Israelites across the Red Sea. Suddenly the Lord impressed upon Gek that Pastor is Moses, leading his people "over-sea" to God's holy mountain (Sinai). She felt the Lord telling her to "quickly align the people to go to the top of the Holy Hill".

At the Hill Gek told the people to look at the several red crosses of the church buildings in the distant. "Let God speak to you. He wants to reveal to you about His love. He wants to show some of you the Revelation of the Cross." (As we would come to know later on the next day, the important part this powerful Revelation of Cross play in this trip)

Gek released the word, "We need to repent and confess our sins, and be cleansed by the Lord. God wants to consecrate us as one united body." We began to pray and repent of our sins.

Then we worshiped the Lord with the song "It's Your Blood (that cleanses me)" and another Chinese song "Your Love is Unchanging (Ni Ai Yong Bu Bian)". At the end of the worship we burst into prayers.

I was standing in the last row. As we continued praying, the prayers of all the people bacame more intense and in unison. That's when I felt that a 'presence' suddenly engulf us. Not long later there was a wind that started to blow. It lasted for about 5 minutes and was no more. This was very unusual as the air had been still the whole night, and continued to be still after that. I know spirit sometimes takes the form of wind.


"Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came...and filled the whole house..." Acts 2:2
