Building Spiritual Atmosphere.

Was attending B.Darren's combined CG on Sat and thank God for him that we gained new foresight in building a spiritual atmosphere. =)

He started by sharing that whatever happens in the natural corresponds to what's in the spirit too. And it's the spirit man that interacts with the spiritual in heaven which affects the natural. In order to be dominant over the natural, we must be spiritually strong. Yea.
God looks into the arena of holiness and in His eyes too, we are already not sinners! So because of these 2 qualities, we are able to face God and listen to God to know His purpose for us. (Deut 23:14, Isa 6:1-8)

And holiness does not mean that we are sinless, perfection and be total avoidance of the world. Yea. We still do face temptations in our lives and it's up to how we face these temptations.

B.Darren was raising a very interesting example on how one person one day, was feeling down because of work and ended up dun feel like gg for overnight PM scheduled that nite but still went instead (because he's scared of being lectured by CGL, haha). So when he was inside, he saw how everyone was lifting up their hands worshipping and praising God with all they had and he joined in too. After which he felt all spiritually recharged in the presence of God and came one call from his friends to join them at Zouk.
Initially he had rejected the invitation but thinking that Easter is coming and to reach out, he went down instead. So the usual, he went in and met up with his friends ad was having fun and suddenly, he was being offered a drink. Being spiritually mindful especially after the PM, he rejected but because of the temptations of his friends, he thought it's ok to drink one cup and there he went, one cup down his throat.
And there he was, being slightly drunk and started to do what he didn't meant to do and the story continued.
Well, B.Darren through that story pointed out many Christians are spiritually recharged after woshipping and praising God over weekend service but when it comes to the Monday to Friday routine, they get spiritually drained out and not many have a strong foundation to be spiritually strong.

Anyway another area he shared about was that if we find ourselves being ill-disciplined in one area and not willing to change, it'll slowly translate to other weaknesses that we have.

One revelation that I'd got to know that the link that affects the natural and the spirit is FAITH!

But one take-away from the meeting is this;
Hearing something + Action that follows = Learning
Hearing something + No action that follows = Learning too!
coz no action is still a form of an action.

Example: When you don't communicate with someone doesn't there ain't any communication at all but, no communication is still a form of comunication coz it indicates something from that action. Yea.

Bla... Was so blessed by the meeting and it's really the transformation of the mind then! yea..
