Dear Church,

Greetings in the blessed name of Jesus!

In the last 2 weeks, we have had a few very powerful and life-changing prayer meetings. During our 1st Midnight Prayer Meeting, the presence of God was so strong that we prayed and prayed for close to 2 hours. After that, it was so easy to just intercede and linger with the Holy Spirit.

4 days later, we had our 2nd Church Wide Prayer Meeting of the year. This time round my plan was to get everyone to focus on the cross and Jesus. After the lights were turned off and a picture of the cross was projected on the screen, I could just feel the whole atmosphere lifted as everyone just kept on praying and praying. Many were in tears as well. At 9:30pm, I thought it was a great time to end the prayer meeting as all of us had encountered God. However, I was quite surprised that no one wanted to leave. After all, prayer meeting was for us to meet with Jesus. And we did. As a result of that, I began to teach how to befriend the Holy Spirit and how we need to remember that He is the host of our church and not a guest. Too often, the Holy Spirit is like a visitor. If we are lucky, He turns up. However, I do not want our church to just have a visitation. I want an inhabitation. I want us to learn how to create the space and the atmosphere for the Holy Spirit to work freely among us. That way, lives can be touched and transformed. And truly, that is what the church of the living God is all about!

Church, this is our vision. This is what we have been called to do. Hence, let’s learn how we can flow with the Spirit of God and work alongside Him.

Let us build a strong church in our generation where God is REAL!

Praying with you,

KEV
