Send Us Your Rain

[I'm deeply blessed and thankful that I was grounded in the Lord since my days of youth, in the TOUCH NUS ministry. I was not only grounded in my values as a believer, but I also received much exposure in ministry - learning to live by faith, believing God for the impossibilities and seeing lives transformed by the power of God. Surely a life lived by faith is one that is not only unforgettable, but also one that made me who I am today as I continue to seek to grow in the Lord...

We have been praying lots for the youths in the House lately... for truly God is raising up the generation who will see His second coming! Even now, God is raising them as forerunners, a voice crying out in the dessert, prepare the way for the Lord! One of the unique functions of the forerunners ministry seen in Isa. 40:1-5, is the prepare the WAY of the Lord (v3)- to prepare the minds and hearts of the people:

Preparation of MINDS in understanding:

1) End-Times

- Mat. 24:6 speaks of false christs, wars, rumours of wars arising..."See that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass...". God is bringing understanding and clarity of the times, and more importantly, how we should prepare ourselves for the coming Day of the LORD as described in Joel 2:11.

2) The activity of the Holy Spirit in the last days:

- restoration of the 1st commandment to the 1st place (Mat. 22:37-39)

- the release of unprecedented power to bring in the great harvest (Joel 2:28-32)

- partnership with God in releasing the temporal judgment of God (Isa. 63:1-6)

3) New idea about God (Psa. 2:11-12):

- Revelation of Jesus as their passionate Bridegroom, Sovereign King and Righteous Judge.

Preparation of HEARTS:

1) Wholeheartedness to God

2) Holiness and Fear of God

3) Fasted lifestyle

Whenever I close my eyes and sing to God to send His rain, I could almost see multitudes of youths crying out to the Lord. And... I could feel the purity and simplicity of the hearts of the youths, just like how we used to cry out to God with the simplicity of our hearts, in childlike faith, in the TOUCH NUS days! God, send Your rain! We need your power, grace and touch, like never before! ]
