Extract from Pastor Kong Blog : Daily Devotion

''

You must be very careful when you want something very badly from the Lord. Because when you want it badly enough, God may give it to you. However, you must be ready to face the consequences of your request. That is why prayer requests must always be according to the will of the Lord. And sometimes when your prayers don’t come to pass immediately, it may be because it is not God’s best for your life. But if you stubbornly insist on it, God may grant you your wish, even when He knows it is bad for you. Psalm 106:15 says, “And He gave them their request, but sent leanness into their soul.”

You must make sure that the desires of your heart are in alignment with the will of God, that your heart is in tune with God. And what you are seeking is also what He desires for your life. Otherwise, you may live with regrets later on. Despite the repeated warnings Samuel gave about the danger of having a king, Israel refused to listen. Eventually, God granted them their wish. Saul became their king … and what a terrible leader he was for the nation.

This simply defines what kind of psychology we should all have in our prayer requests. Thank God for giving such a revelation to Pastor that has been imparted to us.

March 17th, Wednesday 2010 is a special day for me. This is the day I first fell under the power of the Holy Spirit. I recalled, I was seated second from the left of the 7th center row at the floor area. On my left was Liu Bo, a fellow SOT student from China Liaoning. On my right was Chee Keong, my team 29 member. Pastor Derek was laying hands on people in the front randomly. I remembered one lady laid on the floor for a very long time. I kept praying in tongues, hoping and believing that i'd experience the power as well...

Then it came. It came as if a wave of air crashed on me. I just felt weak and fell back onto my seat, although I still had my senses.

We are taught not to look for the manifestation, but for the person, the Holy Spirit ! But this experience just brings about so much revelations for me. Firstly, the Holy Spirit is real! Jesus really left the Holy Spirit on earth for believers! With this, I can accurately be assured that everything else in the Bible is true already. Because the experience of the Holy Spirit is very tangible and is in the supernatural realm, and it was true. What more of the physical blessings promised by our Lord !? I wished I had a loudhailer to tell everyone of this experience I had. But I can't. I don't want to attract comments like, "Good for you lor." Some people will just think I'm boasting to people about my relationship with God. That's not what I want to do. I want to be a conversionist.
