Day 2, Monday - Call to Walk by the Spirit

"TO MOVE IN THE SUPERNATURAL, YOU MUST FIRST RENEW YOUR MIND.
YOU MUST CHANGE YOUR THINKING, FROM LOGIC TO SPIRIT."

The first morning in Prayer Mountain started with early morning prayers by many in the grottos. I will attempt to share as many of the revelations they received as I possibly can. It means I will have to come back and update this and several other days' posts as and when they come in.

As the day unfolds, it was slowly becoming clear that the Lord was leading us to the main theme, the new truth that He wanted to teach us in this trip: to learn to walk by the Spirit. To do that we would all have to learn to cross the line: from moving in the flesh, to moving in the spirit; from doing what is natural to us, to doing what is supernatural; from walking by sight, to walking by faith.

The interesting thing is that this has been what the Lord has impressed upon my heart as I came on this trip. What we also found out was that on the wall of some of our dormitory rooms, there was a calender printed by Yoido Full Gospel Church. The painting printed on this month's (March) calendar was a painting depicting Jesus' first miracle: Turning Water into Wine.


2PM - WORSHIP & DEBRIEF

After the morning, the Lord prompted Gek to ask pastor to ask for permission to use the conference hall at the House of Love where we were staying. During the previous trip we were told that it will cost $300 per session to use the hall, so we did not rent it. Not having much hope on getting it, pastor asked the caretaker at the main lobby, and much to our surprise, he granted us the permission to use the hall totally free of charge! Not only that, everyday a different caretaker would be on duty, and not one of them stopped us from using the hall. So we were practically using the hall every afternoon for worship and debriefing and ministry.


MIRACLE HEALING ON FRANKIE

Frankie our main guitarist and worship leader came on the trip with an injured hand. His left palm was swollen and could not grip the guitar chords properly. So he was stuggling painfully, and could not play the guitar and was really down. Pastor and Gek prayed for him after lunch before we started the session. As he prayed for Frankie, pastor felt the Lord wanted to release Psalm 144 to him. Without knowing the content, he opened the bible and read it to Frankie.

Psalm 144:1
"Praise be to the Lord my Rock, who trains my hands for war, my fingers for battle."

Psaml 144:9
"I will sing a new song to you, O God; on the ten-stringed lyre I will make music to you,"


Gek also continued to pray for Frankie. In the midst of all these, Frankie felt the warmth going up his arm. They all saw the swelling on Frankie's hand reducing immediately, right before their eyes. It shrank to the point of a normal size palm and fingers. Frankie was healed and was able to play the guitar immediately. He went on the play the guitar for our first worship session in Prayer Mountain.


DEBRIEF

During the debrief and sharing after worship, the members shared about their inidividual grotto experience. Gek shared that she sensed the Lord is showing her Jesus Turning Water into Wine. She felt that the Lord wants to take what is natural and turn into supernatural. What is ordinary into extra-ordinary. For that to happen, the Lord is calling us His disciples to begin to move in the Spirit, and no longer to move in the flesh. We need to walk by faith, and no longer by sight (what we see and hear happening around us).
