God Pursues Passionately

We closed the "shop" at 10.30pm but the crowd kept coming. Ended up staying close to midnight. People were so hungry for the spiritual. Most of them were young people from Singapore.

There were so many encounters but two of them revealed so much about the love of God.

A youth came with three friends. As he sat down, we pointed to his left shoulder. After he got healed, his eyes were wide open; he jumped out of the seat and shouted, "What the f**k?!" 

Somehow I like to hear these vulgarities when people encounter Jesus. You don't get this privilege inside the church in case the holy compound gets polluted.

But Jesus likes the outside world and only real encounters get these responses.

When he came back to the seat, we said, "Your family needs reconcilation in relationship and you need to release forgiveness to your father."

He was astounded, turned to his friends and said, "What the f***!"

We added, "You have a very sensitive and tender heart, like my son. You care for people deep inside. And you are studying psychology, right?"

His friend said, "He knows you are studying psychology?!!" 

By now he was so stunned like vegetables that he exclaimed, "Bro, I don't know what to say. But I cannot get up from my seat now. My legs are unable to move. They are stuck."

Since he got stuck, we shared about Jesus. He confessed that he's a Christian but never encountered something like this. We shared how personal and how loving God is towards him. It impacted him so much that he took a while to slowly get up from the seat.

A Vietnamese lady sat down with her sister and her BIL. We told her that she had a curved spine at the lower part of her back, after doing spiritual reading. She got completely healed. Then she requested for her shoulder to be healed and she received it.

Through translation, she began to share that she had a dream three days ago that she would meet us at this place to be prayed for her health. The God of heaven is powerfully pursuing her.

We shared the Gospel with her. Her eyes began to be filled with tears. But she was afraid of her family as she's a Buddhist. So she wasn't ready to take that step. That's totally fine because salvation is not that one step of prayer. Prayer isn't going to get anyone saved. It's about believing and surrendering, which has already begun in her. Left our contact number so that she could contact us.

The God of power is also the God of love. Seeing how He pursues them passionately ministered to my heart. I feel like I wasn't there to minister. I was there to witness God Himself loving and pursuing people.
