Overspiritual VS. Real Relationship

Today, as I was doing devotion, I learned something valuable. I took a different approach to the devotion with God. Usually devotion is the time for me to pour out all I feel and all I think and what are my concerns. Today, I told God I just want to listen and I want to know what He wants to reveal to me this season.

I have heard of many stories and opinions on how certain people are being overspiritual, talking about God 24-7. "How to reach out if you are so overspiritual?"...one would ask. But today as I quietly sit down just wanting to listen from God, this was the one thing that was revealed to me....and trust me I wasn't even thinking about this issue. And it has no relevancy to anyone. What is being over spiritual what is not...I have got these answers popping out to me (haha...I can imagine some voices saying: yea, she is being overspiritual now :P)....well, I encourage you to read on =)

This season is definitely a season of outreach. All of us are busy trying to grow our own cell groups so on and so forth. We are running toward the vision of 10,000 by 2015. Everybody is excited. But how many of us know that we can actually still do outreach without needing to be overspiritual nor over concerned about being spiritual? (see a show of hands*)

People want to have a genuine relationship with us. It is not about being too "godly" so that others would feel that they are actually too "sinful" and need to repent, nor it is about compromising our standards so that others can see us as relatable. It is about being REAL...and being REAL in your love for others. That is what builds relationship. Not the mask and superficiality that you put on when you meet others. It is about being us and being NORMAL in the way we relate to others. Not trying to be something we are not. Hence, overspirituality or anti-spirituality is not the answer. It is about EQ - knowing who you are relating with, how to relate, when to say the right things and again...being REAL....in other words, your emotional quotient plays a big part in building relationship! People like being around real people.


What then is one overspiritual? Overspiritual is when one loses its touch with reality. Everything and anything has got to do with divinity. Watching TV becomes sinful; fashion becomes worldly; listening to secular songs become worldly; loud music becomes devil's music; every single thing that happen has to do with God (when actually it can be our mistakes at times...so we push the blame to God); every nightmares and bad dreams are enemy attacks; every accidents has got to do with us doing something wrong so God punishes us; every friend we reached out to are no longer seen as friends but lost souls; thou shalt not have friends outside church because they are "not holy"; "should i go movie?" ask God first; "should i marry this guy?" ask God for a sign...no sign then the answer is no, everybody is suggesting that I should consider this person as a partner...oh it is a sign from God I am destined to be with this person; I dreamt that I marry this girl..it is a sign I am destined to be with her; I asked God for a sign and I open the bible, God showed me this passage...that's it! that must be the sign...even though I don't understand what the passage is saying...I have to interpret it until I get it to match  with my situation somehow;..... so on and so forth.




The definition of overspiritual is when every single thing we do that used to be logical, now seemingly becomes illogical. Everything suddenly becomes out of control.....silly mistakes which are avoidable becomes God's plan. At times it is true, but many times it is not exactly that spiritual. That is why sometimes people find Christians complicated, because things which are seemingly logical in the realistic world can become very very spiritual. I do not deny the existence of spirituality and the possibility of things being spiritual at times. Yes, at times accidents are plans from God...but it is not to the extent that human suddenly becomes a robot...everything that happens we no longer need to be responsible for, and everything that happens becomes incontrollable. At the end of the day, life is still about making choices, and we still have to bear consequences for  our choices of actions.



Nonetheless, there are also controversy about the word "overspiritual". At times, people are confused between being overspiritual and having a real relationship with God. "Am I being overspiritual?" a disciple asked me one day when she was sharing her encounter with God to me. Having revelations, hearing from God, discerning, having convictions about certain things in life, excited when encountering God is definitely not being overspiritual. It simply means he or she is really excited about this relationship he or she has with God that this individual is eager  to share it. We are spiritual beings created for spiritual experiences as well as relationships. Take the scenario of one being in BGR for instance. One would be excited about something his or her partner gave, or said and share it at least with his or her BFF or somebody close. Because the relationship means a lot to this person, it is very REAL and he or she is just excited about the progression that are going on between both of them.





However, choosing the right person to share with is also very important. Likewise, in a BGR you cannot be sharing everything with everyone you see. It has to be only with the certain person you trust and a certain person who are interested in your life. The one thing I realized recently is that premature sharing, or sharing with a person who is unable to comprehend or understand what you are going through or experiencing will cause confusion. That is when one would seem overspiritual to the other because it just doesn't make sense.



Conclusively, I would say, do not be ashamed of having a real relationship with God. Know the difference of being overspiritual and being real with Jesus. But be wise in choosing those whom you would share things with. Not everybody can take the things you are about to reveal. And we do not want to lose friends nor our common touch just because we unwisely share certain things that others are not ready to accept. Worst if we share revelations to a person of a different faith. However, saying this I am not eliminating the importance of sharing testimonies. Testimonies are life stories given from God. That one should be shared...at the right time and in accordance to necessity though. Timing and setting is everything. Do not share at the wrong time. Nonetheless, visions that are meant to edifty others or meant to be fulfilled or run together can be shared to a large crowd, but visions and convictions which are personal should always be reserved, and if you are eager to share, share it with someone who are close and who would understand. Someone wise or understanding enough that you can be accountable with. Wisdom is always the KEY :D

Love is something real. Not only to men but to God. If you love Him, you love Him. Know the difference and be real in it :) Real relationship need not public display of affection to be strong. A mutual intimate understanding / expression between two parties is already more than sufficient.

Hope you are blessed! 

Oh Cuteness!

Mission Trip updates - REAL & RADICAL

Some updates on the mission trip we went. We were really excited about this.

The past week had been a challenging week for my cell members and I. All of us for the first time, were involved as a whole cell group in outreach event as well as mission trip to another church. It was indeed an eye opening experience. On Friday, a bunch of us traveled down in two separate cars. Upon arrival, we were treated to a delicious dinner before retreating to our respective place to rest our heads for the night.

The next morning, all of us woke up at 6 and began our briefing and prayer sessions after our own personal quiet time. We went into the church to run activities at about 9. People started arriving at approximately 9.30am.

The Early Birds

The Registration Counter - Nicky, Annie, Christy and Ann

The Team

We started off with some games and ice breaker. Daniel did a great job engaging the people. Everybody loves the game. After which Charis took over to teach about prayer. She was amazing. Nervous at first, but got hold of the stage after awhile. Pastor was impressed with her and asked if she could be one of the facilitators during their annual camp.

Game time

Charis teaching about prayer

After a short lunch, it was the main preaching about real and radical. Ben did a great job worship leading. The presence of God was so strong in that place. All of us were very much engaging in bringing up the atmosphere. Even though the projector could not start up throughout the praise and worship but the presence of God is still tangible in that place.

Praise and Worship
The singers - Ann and Ben
Guitarist - Daniel
Multi-tasker (Bongo and Drums) - Linet

Right before preaching, the projector started up. And thank God for that, else it would be really difficult for the preaching to go on. I was  extremely nervous as I have been having a terrible cough for the past one week. That day, I told God that I would fully rely on Him and to heal me so that I can preach comfortably and use me to at least plant something there that day. God was indeed faithful..The moment I started preaching, my cough subsided a little (which came back later after two sessions with the people).
Roy took the children who were too young to take part in this message down for games. He was super loved by the children over there.

Roy, Pierre and the Kids

Run run run!

The crowd was very open, as the preaching goes on, the presence of God became stronger, and I just felt a sense of openness in the crowd. When they are being challenged to live a real and radical faith of Jesus practically almost everyone come forward, responded to the altar call to be prayed for. So many of my members have to step out of their comfort zone and began to minister to people in response to the big numbers of people to pray for. A lot of people began to break down and cry. I believed that day many broken lives in that place were being restored by the presence of God....

In total, there were close to about 40 people responding to the ALTAR CALL to be real and radical in their faith, and 6 SALVATION DECISIONS. Praise God! This was beyond my imaginations.

Altar Call

Ministering

Broken Hearts

The altar call took up some time, so we only had enough time for one more workshop, then Pastor wrapped everything up and  told us how he was so amazed by the excellence practiced in City Harvest Church. We were glad to have this experience as we were amazingly blessed ourselves. Pastor gave me a really big hug. He said he could not believe that I was the same form 4 girl who walked in church few years back....hahaha...all glory to God

Pastor and me

As for my cell members, they were all blown away. Very much loved by the people there. Finally they stood out into a realm of unknown by faith...whereby God used them to be a blessing to others. In turn they were very much blessed in return. A lot of them told me that this trip had made them even more excited about doing things for God and having a closer relationship with God.  We were all really tired but we really don't mind going back again and again.

Farewell hugs

Everybody

The people I am always proud of =))
First Row (from left): Roy, Christy Annie Daniel
Second Row (from left): Linet, Sharon, Pierre, me, Charis Ann, Ben
Third Row (from left): Jireh and Melvyn
 

And it just dawn upon me that we do not need to be ordinary. We can all leave a legacy. We can choose not to ONLY be receivers in cell group. We can be a giver too. But the choice is ours. =) Let's  run this race well and do greater things for Christ. We are indeed ambassadors of Christ.

E30 & E45 thank you for being so cooperative and making this trip a success. You guys are gems in my heart. Truly proud of all of you.

Be real, be radical!!

And thank you Roy and Melvyn for helping out in this trip. You guys are awesome supporters.

till the next blog....toodles~

you will only find yourselves fighting against God."

Devotional Drawing

Some drawings I drew occasionally with my computer during my devotions this year

Previously, I was so self- conscious in showing these. Haha. But I'd figure out it would be fun to read back and remember all these moments in the future. Since blog can be considered a cyber diary (well, only in displaying exposable things of course!) it would be a great personal record. And who knows somebody would want to buy over the copyright and sell it! Then I would be rich! Hahaha. Oh well, if you really consider doing it, do leave me a comment! :P

Meanwhile, enjoy my childish little drawings!

Aspired by the need to see salvation in my family.

27th January, 2009
Aspired by the desire to have a child-like faith and to walk closely with God in our garden everyday.




18th February, 2009
In the midst of brokenness, disappointment and weakness. The desperation of drawing strength, energy, inspiration and joy from Him.




21st April, 2009Aspired by the love and the need to lay down my life at the altar for Him to use, change and mould, for a vision greater than life itself.

 

7th May,  2009
Aspired by the overwhelming presence and power while praying for the vision of Campus Outreach

One thing I learn beginning of this year, that when we have run out of ways or words to express our love, gratitude, feelings or anything to God, creativity is always the key. Personally, I find myself being able to liberally express how I feel by painting a picture like those above. Some write songs, some write poems. It doesn't have to always be only prayer and essays. Anything goes! Imagination can be allowed to roam freely (but appropriately). So, when we use our creativity to worship God, it can be really fun and don be surprise that our perceived creativity can be stretched to the point that is beyond what we think we are capable of.

So my conclusion is, devotion can be fun!! Very very fun and expressive, when we are creative. Treat God like your lover :) Have an intimate and fruitful relationship! Just as people always say that love for a life partner motivates and inspire one to be creative (people probably write more songs and paint more when they are in love), Love for God all the more can do that too! Amen? =D

Revive the Call - SPEAK FORTH!

Finally, the finals and the busy hectic life is over. I was able to breathe again! *phew*

Yesterday, as I was traveling back to Taiping in the car, I was caught up with thinking about a lot of things in life. A lot of recent happenings, and how I have learned so much from it. Uh. And I was also reading Harvest Times. An article by Dr. Yonggi Cho especially impacted me inside out in the car, that I began visualizing and reviving the old dreams. Not that that they were gone, but reading the article refreshed the big picture!

As Shirley had been very busy preparing for her wedding, there were tons of things she needed to be handled. She was amazing. Throughout the period of her wedding preparation, I wasn't involved in the events planning. But, as I was talking to her, I knew her vision, and the certain things that she was going through in the crucial period of her time...wow..not easy. There had been some hiccups here and there, not in her wedding (hmm..maybe there are some minor decision making here and there, that i'm not sure)....but in the life of the people she was taking care of.

Seeing how she stood by her vision even when it is understandable if she breaks just for a few minutes (but she did not give in at all!)...was really inspiring.

Looking back at all the hiccups I have to deal with in campus outreach, sometimes I am desperate for God to just come down and take everything into hand. "Come, God...show the people you are real! Then everything is solved. I don't need to work so hard or get discouraged or crack my head anymore!"...i said. LOL...God can do that I know...but I believe He wants to use the people in the campus. Using lives to change lives. With that, it can be evident that God is living in the INSIDE of us.

I was talking to one of the church leaders the other day. She was talking about the issues that were going on in campuses and her cell group. How local university students were so much simpler and easier to engage. Well, I talked to Shirley about this. She told me one thing: "Hazel, you have no idea how many many years ago, professors, lecturers, students from local universities come together, praying praying and praying, breaking the and plouging the ground...and now it is so easy because they are reaping the fruits from the previous batch of people who engaged so deeply for their campus. you are only seeing the fruits. Likewise, for you...in your campus. That is the reason why I asked you to adhere to the two pillars...to pray and then only to evangelize. You have to prepare and break the ground. Then, it would be easier for the generations after that."

Wow...I was inspired. I honestly didn't know that :)) I am dying to share this with my outreach members. Wanting to tell them to keep going and keeping the big picture in mind. Shirley taught a group of us another thing the other day over the breakfast table. I am amazed how she can continuously impact the lives of others with her words, with just the short time she had with us. She was so busy! But  yet when she shared, it seemed like you have sat with her for the WHOLE DAY. You just naturally draw so much.

She was sharing about the stronghold in a city. Whereby in the enemy's kingdom, there is a very very very structured and orderly system...in fact more orderly than the human world. The "Stronghold" is like the zone supervisor. Taking care of the city...each city had different strongholds (that's why God works through changing city. you conquer the stronghold, you conquer the city)...and underneath it would be the many many other small little "soldier", each taking its own role. As in the campuses, the deceitful spirit would be that of the wisdom of the world. Whereby every wisdom obtained is used to counter and refuse the existence of God. That is what we have been facing in most of our campuses. People question the need of God. And it is really not easy to break.

Nonetheless, three of us especially, did not give up. We kept doing what we were suppose to do. Every week just pray and pray. To break and bind all the other power that is not from God. To prepare the ground. True enough, there had been a lot of open doors. I personally find it really very difficult to invite people to events without them feeling threatened or suspicious of my intention. People always give me the reaction..."Hazel no way I am going to attend any church events. Don't think I do not know your intention"...some were very skeptical. Well, can't blame them. I am known to be very active in church activities. Who could blame what suspicions they have?

However, these days as we fervently gather to pray, there had been breakthrough in the atmosphere. I personally find there were more openings where I can get involved personally in the lives of my other friends (believers or non believers alike). There were outings that I could join, there were people opening up to me about their problems. And from there, I engaged...and it became so much easier. I have also learned tremendously from these friends recently. Somehow previously it didn't occur to me that bonding of relationship could be the KEY to people feeling less threatened!

So as I was saying, I was reading this article about the power of words in life. Scientist recently found that the speech area in your brain governs the nerves in your body. So whatever you speaks, your life will react according to it. Dr. Yonggi Cho was talking about how last time when he preached, he used to have pictures of people healing and he thought it was the enemy's ploy. So he rebuked those thoughts in Jesus' Name because it was distracting to his preaching in services. Nonetheless, God told him this one day: that the presence of God, the Holy Spirit is in his church. But nothing could happen, the Holy Spirit cannot work unless he SPEAKS! So whenever he speaks, the Holy Spirit begin to work (healing works) and people get healed. Those pictures were revelation from God those who were being healed. God was just wanting him to acknowledge the healing and testify to the rest in the congregation.

Likewise, before God created earth. Holy Spirit was already incubating there. But no creation were formed. until GOD speaks! So it was the same here. Knowing this, it was really inspiring to me. I just imagined myself praying, and preparing allowing the Holy Spirit to incubate in my campus. And when I begin to speak, then the work could happen! How cool is that?! The Holy Spirit needs us to speak so that He can work. Likewise with preaching in cell group. So we cannot take the word lightly. It is the basis where the spirit can work. That is why one evidence for Christians when they receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit is to speak in tongue! It means the Holy Spirit is already taking control of your tongue. And when we work according to the prompting of the Holy Spirit, He will work on the basis and foundation of the word we speak forth!

So speak forth, people! It brings life! And one more thing I learned was the fourth dimension. About how Dr. Cho was engaging in the fourth dimension, which is working through visions and dreams. Dr. Cho, since the Holy Spirit worked through that dimension, visions and dreams, he began using the fourth dimension to overrule what was going on in the third dimension (the real physical world) when he was praying one time. And as he was engaging himself there, he was imagining the solution to the problem, he was imagining a healing of a broken relationship of one of his church members who was at the verge of divorcing his wife. As he imagined...he told God...yes God...let it be that  way. And he left to see that member of his.

As he was there, stepping into the apartment, the atmosphere communicated tension and hatred among the husband and wife. Then, the couple began hurling insults on one another. Both were right in their own opinions. Dr. Cho felt sandwiched in between. Both agreed that their relationship was beyond repair, and they wanted divorce. They didn't want Dr. Cho to reconcile them, but they just wanted him to pray blessing for their divorce. Dr.Cho amazingly just held both of their hands together and began to speak of words of binding all hatred and the ploy of the enemy. commanding both of them to be reconciled and be joined as one. tears just began streaming down the couple's face the moment he said that.

Dr. Cho then said in the magazine, he already overruled the broken relationship in the third dimension in his fourth dimension. So what was needed was a word from him...then the Holy Spirit can work! And it did! the weekend, the couple told Dr. Cho that as he spoke, both of them felt a wall being broken and they didn't even know why they fought so much in the first place. now they are more in love than ever.

Wow...Now, imagine us doing that in campus outreach. Having the faith and the courage to speak. I really feel I should implement this. With words, lives and things can change because the Holy Spirit is given a ground to work with. I am so excited and psyched over this.

And for the vision and dreams to keep going on, we really need to know what to imagine so that the Holy Spirit can work according to our fourth dimension and overrule our third dimension! Here are the slides of what I have been imagining all the time since I started outreach. We really need prayers to break the bondage of the wisdom in the world...that eyes may be opened to what is true and real.

Outreach members. As small in numbers as we may be, let's begin to engage the fourth dimension and to use our tongues to speak forth faith, life...creating the foundation for the working of God. Here are some pictures for us to imagine and visualize on. If we can all be united to do that...there will be an awesome breakthrough! I really believe that. I am seeing that. It shall come to pass..

Don't give up! =)) we are not alone.

birthday celebration continues...

March 31st, 2009

We were all in church, attending the Caring System seminar....right after Caring System, I was in the Church Cry Room talking to my cell group about certain issues. Coming out from the room, I was immediately asked to meet up with worship team for a meeting. Then, tadaa....there appears a birthday cake, and the worship team sang a birthday song, and we cut our birthday cake. Abel prayed for me and Hendra before we quickly dispersed to our zone leaders’ meeting.

After that, my subzone decided to sing me a birthday song, and added in to another birthday cake! Haha…prosperous with cakes this birthday. Then, after praying and giving presents, I was already suspicious that a sabo might happen (due to some mis-sent email, muahahaha) They tried convincing me that there will not be any sabo for me anymore. However, I was suspicious. Sophia, suddenly asked me to go to Sharon’s car in order to get the choir list. I responded: it’s ok Sophia. You already sent me the name list via email, I don’t need the original copy anymore. Sophia: oh okay…

Then she went off talking to Sharon…muahahaa…I saw you guys, ok!  I knew there was a plan already. After that, they told me they are going to sabo Anna, so I need to help them bring Anna over. So, I wasn’t sure of what to expect. Since I promised them I would help them with Anna’s sabo, I went together. I knew I was at risk of being sabo…but I never thought that I would be alone. I thought they would sabo us together.

So there the whole bunch appeared while we were talking outside the car. With tins and water in their hands. I clung on to Charis Lian. I thought that way, I would escape the sabo… however, before all these happened, Yunny drove to the back of the church and told me pastor was looking for me! And Sophia who was holding a tin of water in her hand, confirmed it. So here goes the conversation:

 
Hazel: Wait wait! I know you guys wanna sabo me. Let me go see pastor first!
Clement: Ok Ok I protect you. You go! (actually wanted to help them sabo me)
Sophia: (quietly lifting up the tin while I was walking in front)
Hazel: (quickly turn around)….ha! what is this! Tin lifted up!
Sophia: (Stares blankly with the tin up high then put it down again)
Hazel: After I see pastor first la…I promise I will come back (lol…in my heart….lari lo after this)
Sophia: go see pastor after we sabo you la
Clement: Hazel, cannot escape d la…just give in la
Hazel: Ok Ok….wait wait wait (panic, as more tins came out and surrounded by a bunch of people)….you see I got handphone or not first. Take my handphone first (take out and give it away)

 
Then I stood there with my hands open to receive….I said: come lah!

Itu lah masanya….Elvis from behind pour coke la, some sweet water, and plus sabun water…goodness…I was drenched….and when I walked into church, pastor was driving out. He stopped when he saw me. Wind down his window, and drenched with coke and water and everything I tiptoed toward the car and asked

Hazel: Yes, pastor you looking for me?
Pastor: What happened to you?
Esther: (laughing beside pastor looking at me)
Hazel: Kena sabo lor
Pastor: Who sabo you? All the guys who sabo Hazel must run around naked!
Hazel: Yes Yes Yes!!!
Jireh: (innocent looking)…I am innocent…
Pastor: You are the most suspicious one! (looking at Jireh)
Everyone: (laughing)

LOL….bagus ada support pastor. Nahh…sabo me some more la! :P after a short talk with pastor, pastor drove off, and I changed and went home washing all my sweet clothing, and sweeten hair. Boy tough job!

 
April 3rd, 2009

This is the real day. Was so busy trying to finish up the final project. Yi Zhen and Lynnette both decided to give me a secret recipe cake each with a birthday cake. Since outreach meeting cannot be held that day because of the final project submission, Yi Zhen came all the way just to pass me her cake and Lynnette’s cake. Another two cakes! Woohoo!   And after that, I rushed to prepare my sermon, I was so exhausted. However, it was really a great sermon that day. After preaching. Charis Tan told me to go into the room for a short evaluation with her as she had just preached and run her cell group for the first time the Thursday before. I knew they were preparing something for me though. It was just a trick that she wanted me to go into the room. Hahaha…


Then when I come out…wuah…too my disbelief, Anna Chuah was there also. And they prepared me a very touching song. Aww…and another secret recipe cake…hahahaha…View the video here:

Boy I sounded annoyingly high pitched in this video. LOL!

they decided to give me a appreciation postal messages each as part of the present =D

April 4th, 2009

After a tiring day in college, finally I rushed to church. After service, I did a short evaluation with my choir members, suddenly Faith said: and let’s celebrate someone’s birthday today! And the birthday song proceed….another cake! woohoo! So we sang and we celebrated…wow….it was awesome. Felt really loved.

 


April 5th, 2009

Brother came all the way from Taiping just to celebrate my birthday (apart from seeing his girlfriend). We had a splendid time eating Italian food (my favorite!), chatting and talking about what is going on at home. And uh!! My cell members, mom, and my second brother gave me love gift! Woohoo! And, of course, my dearest first brother asked if I wanted crocs. He is buying it for my birthday. However, I could not find a nice suitable one in Midvalley. So we leave it as that. And would buy when I see a nicer one. Hee!

 

So 2009 Birthday Celebration had officially ended. Had a lot of cakes, a lot of presents, and a lot of love. Thank you guys for making my birthday this year meaningful and special. Indeed, I feel really grateful and appreciated. You guys are amazing! Thanks for being in my life. You are  indeed a blessing.

 

Love always,

Hazel Saw (birthday 2009)
