I cannot even begin to explain half the stuff that went on over the past few days, because just so much has happened, and especially to me personally, i have just learned a lot and once again have found this like whole new side of what it means to be a child of God. Being a healthy christian isn't easy, and requires work to constantly keep oneself updateded and in tune with the Holy Spirit. However the rewards of that is much greater, and would enable us to lead a victorious and successful life!
On another note, when i went up to get prayed for, to be anointed with the anointing oil, i went up expecting a lot. Like maybe to see some crazy things, or experience this amazing sensation like my body heating up like mad, or have experience something powerful. But when i got up to get prayed for, it lasted for a total of like 10secs. I went up to the alter, stood there for like 3 secs, Ps Judith came by, laid her hand on my head, said a sentence, and left. After that i was pretty confused.. not sure what was wrong.. because i know nothing actually happened, or i didn't feel anything, besides God's presence which was in that place the whole time. I didn't feel any fire, or anything swelling up within me, or any release of power or anything like that. So i thought maybe i was at wrong? But anyway, asked anne what was meant to happen later on, and she said that different people feel different things, and sometimes some people don't feel anything at all, but still get anointed. I later learned that some other people also didn't really feel anything special happened, but as long as we believe and know that the anointing is there, that's all that matters.
It's the last teaching session tomorrow, and it's gonna be a great time of learning on relationships! yay... haha hopefully i'll be able to takeaway stuff from the session tomorrow.
Day 93.
Hannah bears a son Samuel, and after that she writes a song to the Lord in 1 Samuel 2, and i think it's a great song!
1 And Hannah prayed and said:
“My heart rejoices in the LORD;
My horn[a] is exalted in the LORD.
I smile at my enemies,
Because I rejoice in Your salvation.
2 “No one is holy like the LORD,
For there is none besides You,
Nor is there any rock like our God.
3 “Talk no more so very proudly;
Let no arrogance come from your mouth,
For the LORD is the God of knowledge;
And by Him actions are weighed.
4 “The bows of the mighty men are broken,
And those who stumbled are girded with strength.
5 Those who were full have hired themselves out for bread,
And the hungry have ceased to hunger.
Even the barren has borne seven,
And she who has many children has become feeble.
6 “The LORD kills and makes alive;
He brings down to the grave and brings up.
7 The LORD makes poor and makes rich;
He brings low and lifts up.
8 He raises the poor from the dust
And lifts the beggar from the ash heap,
To set them among princes
And make them inherit the throne of glory.
“For the pillars of the earth are the LORD’s,
And He has set the world upon them.
9 He will guard the feet of His saints,
But the wicked shall be silent in darkness.
“For by strength no man shall prevail.
10 The adversaries of the LORD shall be broken in pieces;
From heaven He will thunder against them.
The LORD will judge the ends of the earth.
“He will give strength to His king,
And exalt the horn of His anointed.”
