Melaka-laka!

City walls

August Report:

Marcus called Cathy and me the night before and shared about what happened at Kulim's LYPG. I can say we were both very encouraged after that and excited for LYPG.

Cathy led us in this session. She asked us to read Psalm 43 and pray whatever was impressed upon our heart from it. Her words, "I felt God give me this verse the morning itself... it couldn't have been more perfect for this time." We spent about 50-60 minutes praying. This is what we got in our order of sharing.

Charmain: Word for Malacca and LYPGs all over.
- Ezekiel 4:2 -- We are laying siege around the cities, preparing for battle.
- Joshua 8:24 -- This is when we take over the city. And when we do, we need to break down all strongholds.
- Joshua 8:8 -- We're gonna set the city on fire yeah!
And it shall be, when ye have taken the city, that ye shall set the city on fire: according to the commandment of the Lord shall ye do. See, I have commanded you.

Timothy
- Encouraged by Psalm 43, especially verse 1 in praying for an ungodly nation
- and verse 3, that what was done in darkness will be revealed in His light and truth.
Psalm 43:1 -- Judge me, O God, and plead my cause against an ungodly nation: O deliver me from the deceitful and unjust man.

Cathy
- Hebrews 5:1-11 - We are high priests. I felt that we're not living on par with God, and how he wants us to live.
Hebrews 5:1 - For every high priest taken from among men is ordained for men in things pertaining to God, that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins:

Lara
- got the phrase 'Children of God' and 1 John 3:1
Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.
- God loves us. He's our Father. He sees us as heirs. Those who have not seen him do not know Him. We know Him, we have seen Him.

Summary: Revival and change will come. But we as children of God ought to reflect our Father's heart, and as high priests ought to set and live up to God's standards as examples.

We separated the prayer points for thePlan into 7 cards (and there were 7 people!) and took turns to pray. Overall we kept praying for calling and change of heart for the participants.

Those who were there, if there's anything else I forgot to put in, please let me know.

All praise to God for another good prayer gathering. A major prayer need is our planning and preparations for MYPG 4.
Oh and yes, our video report is coming out soon too! =D
