hi all, i will be dropping my YISS testimonial here too, msn seems unaccesible for non-members.. here goes..
those with a weak heart and little understanding, pls ignore this [part] and skip to the bottom of the post. thanks =).
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------taken from genesis /groups.msn.comWhat to say, a very heart opening event for me. I learnt alot, made new friends ,and grew closer to my existing friends.
The week of the camp started off terribly, i realised my timetables were screwed, all my weeks of planning were ruined, everything seemed to clash... i was extreemely busy and stressed BUT extremely blessed as well... After countless emails and messages to many people, asking for excuses and leave of abscence, i finally made it to the YISS camp on the 2nd night.
Many told me i came at a very good time, the healing was going to be on that night. not long after i had arrived, i could already feel gods miracles and his power working in my life.
All my life, i had been to only 2 confessions. once in pri3 by father "arro"(i think spelt like dat).and now AGAIN by him! how great is that? so he was very nice , told me to put my prayer sheet away, and slowly talked to me about gods forgiveness.
so back to the healing where my facils prayed over me,. it took awhile, but i soon felt the holy spirit enter my body, and i fell back after the first time where i resisted falling. this is so called the 'resting in the spirit'.
the next day was even better. the outpouring of the spirit. they prayed over me once again, i felt the spirit take my heart out, literally in front of me, and bathed it, soaked it in the holy spirit, in gods hands. where i felt totally anew, refreshed and pure again.
i didnt get slain, but just stood there.. i didnt get my gift of tongues that night. i felt rejected , i was jealous of others. i broke down and started to cry.. when kenji put his arm around me, i cried even harder, he started to cry too. i found out later from him that he could actually feel my sadness and started to share it.
then teresa came, thanks girl.. so much... i jus fell into her arms and wept uncontrollaby... where i knew she understood my feeling at that moment... i cried my heart out, i cried till the barriers and steel walls surrounding my heart broke apart. i could feel again. i was given a new heart.
i rejoiced once again during the praise and worship, though i was still crying, i was happy this time, happy to be rejoicing in his name!
the next morning, (last day of camp), they called upon once again those who wanted to recieve the gift but didnt last night, i was suprised so many actually stood up, and felt foolish about the night before.
so they prayed over me once again.. and with the facil elading me in the language iw as about to recieve, i tried to call out a language i did not know before, (note that when i did so, i was still concious of the foreign language i tried to speak, it was of my own will). after that trying part of my own, my tongue took over, and i blabbered stuff which sounded like nonsense, and i was told to sit down and continue praising god.
i saw maria next to me also praising the lord with new found glory and i joined her, we hugged and den started to laugh.. we both knew that we had recieved the gift of tongues, and so knew wad each other was going through... thank god for the people around me, praise hime ven more for them knowing how i felt at different time of my encounter with him.
Amen
