"I encounter you tonight, my God, to have an encounter with you, tonight."
Sometimes, we want to encounter God. But we only say it, or pray it: "I need an encounter with You God!"
If you want to encounter God, it's pretty easy.
Just go to the place where God is. And stay there.
And where is the place that God is at? It's the place where you come alone before Him, have nothing else on your mind but God, and begin to talk to Him and worship Him.
Mate, it's as easy as that.
And this is what our Church is going to be doing for the next x years.

Daily Habits
I know what i want.
I know what to do.
But i do not do it.
Because i am not wise enough to prioritize my time to do the things of more importance.
Does that sound/feel familiar?

Giant Servant
Two days ago, i was impressed upon by a thought.
To effectively serve our Lord Jesus, we need revelation of the Lord Jesus.
We all have a certain understanding of our Lord Jesus.
But the more revelation is revealed to us, the more we know why we must serve Him, and how we must serve Him, and what we must give, to serve Him.
I believe with a lot of my heart that when we ask for a revelation from God, He will give it to us, as long as we really want it. Ask for one, get one. Ask for many, get many.
Revelation is not something that can be obtained from a book, a sermon, or somebody telling you. It is something similar to the opening of your eyes, to something you never would possibly have seen.
When was the last time we (as individiuals) set aside even 1 hour of our time to kneel down before God to ask Him to reveal something to us? May i challenge you to ask, with all your heart, in desperation.
Because the purpose of your life has already been set, and that is: to serve the Lord Jesus with everything you('ve) got.
And you need to start now. Get a revelation.

A Single Revelation of Life
1. What are we living this life for?
2. What is driving your life today?
Think about it now will you, and answer.
I know that you know the spiritual answers to the questions. But only you know the answer for yourself.
If the answer is not the spiritual one, then why not? Is it time to change?
A scenario can help to explain one of the revelations i have received about living a life for Jesus Christ.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
1> Our entire young people group are sent to a certain village in India for 3 months. Mission: to build a strong and permanent Church.
2> We go with nothing. Except for basic survival necessities, and sufficient money.
3> We live in houses in a small area in the moderately large village. There are near-by surrounding villages.
And i can see this as a basically fair and practical schedule for a Church establishing mission, because time is short, and we want to be effective in doing God's work.
In India, our lives are prioritized for God. Much of our schedule is filled by Spirit-related things.
Here comes the questions now:
"When we fly back to Melbourne, is our time still short, and do we still want to be effective for God?"
"Will we still prioritize God into our schedule like we did in India?"
"Will we still use the same schedule to build the Church in our home town? If not, then why not? (Because we have no time? Because we already have lots to do? Yeah? Like what?)"
<
---------> Please discuss if you read this. I'm fuming.

3> We live in houses in a small area in the moderately large village. There are near-by surrounding villages.
- i> We have only three months to complete our mission. So everyday counts.
- ii> We decide that since our primary mission is to tell locals about God, we want to work on that every day.
- iii> Since our time is short, we decide to go about our mission in the most effective way possible - "Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit," says the Lord Almighty.
- Breakfast at 8:00am
- Worship, seek and pray at 8:30am - 12:00pm every morning.
- Have lunch at 12:30pm
- At 1:30pm Go into the village to witness that Jesus is alive. Let the power of God be present as we witness.
- Dinner at 6:00pm
- Night meeting at 7:00pm - 9:00pm with the purpose of growing spiritually. Discuss how to live a totally surrendered life, how to hear God, how to use the power that God has given us for His glory etc. How to be more effective, + any other sharings.
- Sleep/Rest/Personal time after 9:00pm.

Church Comfort
Isn't it sad - that newcomers can find Church a comfortable place - for the reason that they find people inside the Church to be very similar to themselves?
Yes.
To elaborate:
The people inside the Church try to make newcomers feel comfortable by doing all the stuff a non-Christian would do e.g. play sports, video games, bars, clubs, relax, hang out - and we would say: "Look we are not too different from you. So what is so bad about becoming a Christian?"
Have we really nothing to show non-Christians the real difference between us and them? Except for powerless concepts and non-Christian-debatable ideas? Sure, we can conform to the world as a way to attract many non-Christians to Church. But what change would that make in them? Or us?
Yes.
