A Personal Reflection

God is able to do more than you could ask or imagine.(Eph3:20) I found this verse to be true before and during our prayer mountain activities. Before, the group faced financial difficulties that is why we had a hard time on budgeting but praise the Lord because when God guides, He provides. I experienced that personally because God used people to provide for me. I made a list of my prayer requests and my primary request is for God to increase my faith. I also include discerning spirit for me, salvation of my family, high grades and anointing as I serve Him.

Before the event, I expected great things to happen and when I was already there, God didn’t disappoint me. We had few teambuilding games and all had fun with a purpose. We are having fun but at the same time, we are learning unity and team work as one body. I experienced the love of God that moved me to worship Him in spirit and in truth.

When we were at the sanctuary, we praise and worship God and shouted His praise at the top of my lungs and it feels good and at the back of my mind I’m thinking, “I’m really created for this.” I bowed my head and knelt down because I know I am standing on a holy ground. We also took our slippers off. 

Our Brother in Christ taught about the prayer of deliverance because where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. I repented from all the sins that I can remember and the Holy Spirit reminded me of the sins I have done and I humbled myself before God, I saw how filthy I am and I experience his unfathomable grace and mercy. We prayed for one another. During our silent and solitude moment, I prayed to God to increase my faith in order for my spiritual eyes to be open. I prayed for increased faith and I ask God to empty myself for Him to fill me. In my spiritual eyes, I saw a gap between me and Jesus. He reached out his hands and I told him that I’m not worthy but still, His hand was gesturing me to come.

 I came to Him and I saw a beautiful kingdom with a rainbow. Wow! What a beautiful sight, I thought. Afterwards, I saw a room. In it, was a window and I glanced at it and I saw a lamb who was slain. I knew then, it was Jesus who sacrificed himself on our behalf. I cried because I remember Romans 8:3( He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things?) If Father God gave his only begotten son, He is also willing to save my family and snatch them from fire.

We ended awestruck with God because of the mighty move of the Holy Spirit. Some were baptized and some had seen visions through their spiritual eyes.

The next morning, We’re glad because there’s a beautiful rainbow in the sky. 

For me, it was as if God is smiling down on us. The rainbow that I’d seen in my vision and we'd seen the next morning symbolizes hope. Storms may come but after that is a hope. Until now, I’m holding on to that hope; a hope that God has written in my heart, a hope that whatever happens, either good or bad, he intended it for my good;  a hope that sees the Christ and not the crises. A hope that keeps me going and fuels my living.
