Emerge 2006
Hi guys, Emerge 2006 was really a powerful conference! And I want to share with you something that I had experience at the conference. It happen on Sunday morning session. Actually I was having a bad headache on that morning. Guess I didn't sleep well. For that service, I really really wanted to sit in the front. But I woke up quite late, and when I reach Expo, the hall was already open for the members. But I didn't give up, still hoping to get to sit in front on the floor area. After a while of searching, I found some seats at row 7. Usually, its impossible to get the floor area once the members are in, but somehow, nobody wanted to take those 4 seats. And so praise started. The praise was really good, but I wasn't enjoying it. Because my head hurts!! Throughout the praise, I was thinking if I should leave the hall and just take a rest. But I decided, even if I were to faint, I will still want to praise Him! And when praise was over and worship started, the pain was still there. And halfway through the worship, God reminded me of something to pray to Him. It was something that I shared with Michelle(E237) the previous night on Saturday. And the prayer was this, "Lord, testimonies of financial blessings, good physical health, salvation and to rise up as leaders for You is good, and I thank You for it. But if I can only have one testimony in my entire life, I want that testimony to be that I have known You Jesus." And after that prayer, presence of God came, and His love feel my heart, and I began to weep. And at the start of the second worship when we sing the indonesian song, I felt His glory came, and my heart just stand in awe. Seriously, I really couldn't understand what the song means, but the presence and love felt so strong, I just begin to weep and couldn't stop. Sometimes, I felt so much in my heart, that no words came out of me despite my trying to sing. And the sermon was great, and towards the end of the sermon, I felt the presence of God again. And in less than a minute, Pst Kong says, he felt that the Holy Spirit is here. And as we stand up to sing the new worship song again, "Take all of me, I give my all for all of You.", I just weep, and wanted to stay in that presence forever. In my heart, I keep praying, "Let my testimony be that I have known You, Lord." and at one point, I was crying with tears flowing and I cried out, "Abba, Father". It was truly an experience that really empowers me. And the headache, well, I didn't know when the Lord heals me, but at the end of the service, I do not have the headache anymore! Hallelujah!! =)
