The KL/PJ June analogs

OK, guys... Eunice the Wong here.
I've been meaning to put up the reports of our KL/PJ LYPGs but time hasn't been on my side for the past few weeks. But if God is for me who can be against me right? So like it or not, time will have to end up on my side too. ;)

These are the lightnings (notes from God) for our June LYPGs.
For a forewarning you may not piece the puzzle pieces together so quickly as you are reading - it will sure look like shrapnel flying in the air - but I pray that as you read prayerfully, you will slowly get the BIG PICTURES that we are seeing now!

For background, we entered the month of June with a sense of waiting and expectation. The whole idea was to get the Lord's direction, and we would seek Him until we got it. That's why we felt the month of June was so crucial. We were going to enter a new phase.


Week 1
On the first week itself, we received a confirmation when someone said "We are entering Phase 2". We also received a picture of an angel drilling a hole in a wall with a machine gun. This gave us some clues how Phase 2 will be like - strategic, focused, and requiring perseverance.

Then we got the marching orders for next week -- Come before me in celebration.


Week 2 (right after FWP)

After some lightning from Deut 29, Psalm 96 and John 17 - (about Jesus' prayer that we will be one), and a sharing about the 3 things blocking the unity of churches to pray (disunity, laziness, and loss of focus) we moved into worship. Gene Harn led us with "Mighty to Save". It felt like the praise was lifting us to the next level of strategic intercession!

We continued with worship for some time, until a few people felt like we weren't really breaking through. It was like "we're standing around a hole and no one is digging, we're all just looking."

We needed to plough the ground. Sounds familiar? The remember of the Word received at FWP came back to haunt us.

And so the ploughing began. Led by Yvonne, our prayer began taking a form of its own. Unity among the broken and divided churches. Yvonne asked us to confess and repent as churches, and then press in together as one.

Cool stuff. Wai Yan then shared Nehemiah 9, which begins with a gathering to fast, weep, and repent. She said each paragraph was like a telling of their history. The people came before God with their whole history and laid it before Him.

True to the theme, we ended with a celebration of praise. ;)

Now we were a little like "eh?" because God had spoken celebration, but had led us into repentance. But we would understand later on. =)


Week 3
I was not here, so anyone who took ntoes can fill in this space.


Week 4
Because the PPBC-ians were at a wedding, we gathered this week at the MNPN prayer tower, formerly known as the Wall. This week's prayer was spent more in voluntary rest and soaking.

Here are the notes:
Josh - Isaiah 40 - perseverance of the saints
Kenneth - Matt 5: 15 - light for everyone to see
Peter - Fire and water, opposites but symbols of HS
- saw chicken stock (ya the cooking one)
- in order for two chicken stock to be one, need fire to melt two blocks together
- Fire breaks it down into atoms, into particles, only then can it transform the water around it
- in order to be one, we need to be small
- it follows the current of water (like how we are led by the Spirit) bringing impact wherever it goes.
Jess - the down times are when God reminds us we need Him. This is where our faith lies.

A lot of the prayer for this week had to do with returning to resting, abiding, and dependence on the Father. Dunno... maybe that's what we needed that week, as most of us were drained out from our respective lives. It was a good rest and preparation for the gun-battle coming up...


July - Week 1.
To be continued...
