Day 3, Tuesday - Revelation of the Cross

Morning was the usual grotto time. However, we did not anticipate the big one waiting for us in the 2pm debriefing afterwards.


2PM - REVELATION OF THE CROSS

Jessica started the session sharing about how she cried and cried the night before during prayer at the sanctuary. When she was small, whenever she heard that someone is sick, she would feel for that person and cry. But everytime she cried, there was no tear. Pastor affirmed her that this is the Intercessor gifting. He also shared that to be ministers for God, we must have the heart of compassion. Many of us do not have compassion, and therefore we can't cry.

Gek also shared that we must be broken, and feel God's heart of compassion. If you truely have the love of God in your heart, you will surely be able to cry and pray for the loss. Imagine your son being kidnapped and thrown into a dungeon and imprisoned, you will cry for him. She also shared that when she was in the grotto this morning, the Lord show her that we need to have the Revelation of the Cross. Pastor and Gek then asked Chee Kong to share about his morning grotto experience:

(Chee Kong was now going to share about his mighty Revelation of the Cross he received in the morning grotto. Actually at this point, Pastor and Gek still did not know about the details of his revelation yet)

This is how his mighty revelation go: In the morning Chee Kong and Jean went to the grotto together. Chee Kong asked the Lord to show him the Revelation of the Cross. The Lord answered his prayer and brought him to the crucifixion scene, and allowed him to look through Jesus' eyes from the cross.

He saw thick black clouds engulfing the sky as depicted in the bible. Upon closer look, these clouds were actally legions and legions of demons just pounding on the Lord Jesus. He also saw at the other corner, legions of angels were ready for war, all waiting for the Lord to just issue the command and will come down to do battle and would rescue Him immediately. However, as He looked at the crowd, He saw our faces, the faces of our loved ones and our friends. And at that instant, He said, "I cannot, because I saw your faces. Because of you, I must hang on."

At this point, Chee Kong broke down and cry. Soon everyone was on the floor kneeling and crying. At that point, God really showed us the compassion of the Lord. For some of us, we would not cry normally, but at that moment, God showed us His compassion for the lost, and everyone was crying.

Pastor and Gek led us to repent of our heart of stone. We needed to receive the compassion of the Lord. And on that day the Lord transformed the heart of stone, and gave us His heart of compassion.
