Da-Win facilitated the session, and started us off with a time of singing worship songs, stilling our hearts before the LORD. After that, he got us to mediate upon God's word and to respond to God in a time of prayer. I used the verses that were recommended in the prayer booklet, and here are my take-aways:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Exodus 3:14
I AM who I AM, I WILL BE what I WILL BE.
God of Abraham, Issac and Jacob
Exodus 3: Moses and the burning bush
I am the LORD, who exercises kindness, justice and righteousness on earth, for in these I delight. (italics mine)
kindness before all things - what the world needs most!
not wisdom, not strength, not riches
but one who understands God and know Him
WARNING! The days are coming when I will punished all who are circumcised only in the flesh - the LORD in Jer. 9:25
I am the Alpha and the Omega, who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty
- Beginning and the End, present, past, future, all powerful
cross-referenced to v17:
First and the Last, the Living One, was dead and am alive for ever and ever!
the world knows Him as a carpenter, a great teacher, a rabble-rouser, one who sits with sinners, a blasphemer...
What do we know Him as?
Hindrance to Faith
Knowing about God VS Knowing God
Wanting to know the will of God VS Wanting Him in our lives
