I've just came back from the Transfiguration.
Matthew 17
1After six days Jesus took with him Peter, James and John the brother of James, and led them up a high mountain by themselves. 2There he was transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and his clothes became as white as the light. 3Just then there appeared before them Moses and Elijah, talking with Jesus. 4Peter said to Jesus, "Lord, it is good for us to be here. If you wish, I will put up three shelters—one for you, one for Moses and one for Elijah." 5While he was still speaking, a bright cloud enveloped them, and a voice from the cloud said, "This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased. Listen to him!" 6When the disciples heard this, they fell facedown to the ground, terrified. 7But Jesus came and touched them. "Get up," he said. "Don't be afraid." 8When they looked up, they saw no one except Jesus. 9As they were coming down the mountain, Jesus instructed them, "Don't tell anyone what you have seen, until the Son of Man has been raised from the dead."
How I wished to remain up on the mountain top but that's not what Jesus did. Conventions are great and retreats are awesome, but taking that and being filled with God's Spirit up 'there' will mean taking that glory back down the valley with us - to be the salt and light in the world.
14When they came to the crowd, a man approached Jesus and knelt before him. 15"Lord, have mercy on my son," he said. "He has seizures and is suffering greatly. He often falls into the fire or into the water. 16I brought him to your disciples, but they could not heal him."
17"O unbelieving and perverse generation," Jesus replied, "how long shall I stay with you? How long shall I put up with you? Bring the boy here to me." 18Jesus rebuked the demon, and it came out of the boy, and he was healed from that moment.
God's tangible Presence was so strong in OC - so was the devil. But one thing we knew for sure, was that God's Presence was making the devil lose - We have the VICTORY through JESUS!
I wrote a 2 hour long entry last night with the intention to post details of my mountain top experience with God, but then on second thoughts, I might not post it - not yet. As spiritual warfare is strong - these kinda things comes with lots of prayer and when I get the peace to post it, I'll post it! Hee..
But all I wanna say is, God touched my life so greatly and it's marked a change/turning point in my life since last weekend. God is going to continue to guide and use me. And I have to keep praying, keep eating of His Word and drinking of His Living Water - because you need water to help you swallow!
So I just wanna encourage y'all - Eat His Word (read the Bible), and drink His Living Water (fellowship and move with His Holy Spirit).
And we will witness revival - real soon.
Praise God! :)
