Festival of Praise 2005
Last weekend Hillsong and Delirious was in town! To cut the whole story short, God opened a way for me to go.
At first, I thought it was a mistake. By the time I reach the stadium, I was already flooded with people, queing up to get in. Mind you, it was 3 hours before the concert started. Consert, I thought. You know me la, not the type to go for all this thing....
Vivienne, Lan and I manage to get a seat directly across the stage. By the time Darlene and Delirious got to the stage, everyone started screaming! I thought what the heck! This is a Chirstian meeting but it sounded so secular.
Anyway, the worship started.
The crowd of over 10 000 people stood to sing and worship our God on High. Must admit, with the crowd this big, it was an overwhelming experience for me. Felt God's presence. Just dunno how to put it in words, but it's just overwhelming.
Then came the sermon, offering and prayer for S'pore.
But most importantly, SOULS came into the kingdom. When Darlene invited those who wanted to be save, people litterally came running down to the front. Think got almost a hundred.
I just didn't know what to feel. The way she made the call was so gentle. Now I can see why, She's one of the world's reknown Christian. God's anointing is just upon her. Then, the sight of so many people coming to the front reminded me of the passion I was had.
The last one year here has changed me. I guess for the worse. It's really a rat race here...and it's so easy to loose the passion for Christ. Was reminded of the days at Youth Camp. All the prayers and commitment made...
All this flashed through my mind.
Then there was a corporate prayer for all those there in the Stadium, lead by her. Can't really remember exactly what the prayer was about. But I knew, God saw my need to be revived spiritually and to be filled.
It's my first time seeing so many come together just to praise our God. Really encourage and challenge me spiritually.

Really thank God for all that has happened over the weekend. I hope to carry this flame!
