Amazing Quiet Time

I was having QT yesterday morning as usual. Started off a little late thus I'll only have 40 mins for it else I'll be late for work. After been impacted by Ivan's entry about how Zilun, the zone secretary led the prayer focus and will not start to pray until the presence of God is there, even though they only have a limited time of an hour, I did not go straight into prayer but worship with the 2 new songs.

As I flow from "Stay with You" to "One life, One love" as smoothly as I can, I was surprise to realize that all of a sudden, it seems like I can switch between the chords smoothly and play my Bm and F#m without any problem, as thou I had mastered the barre chords. In the midst through the song, I have already sensed the presence of God. After I'm done with the song and wanted to stay praying, I sensed that the Holy Spirit telling me to play it one more time! So I picked up my guitar and played through "One life, One love", singing in the spirit.

When I ended the song, I realized that I'm left with only 10 mins but I did not panic because I knew that even if I only have 5 mins, one touch from God can even feel like an hour, Amen? So I began to pray, Boy oh boy, the presence of God is so strong that I began to weep, the moment I closed my eyes. Never have I wept like this before during my QT. And folks, have you ever realized that when someone is praying when he/she is filled with the Holy Spirit, he/she sounds differently? The tone, voice, the words he/she use is different from when they normally pray.

And yeah, that happened to me. I sounded differently, prayed differently, it seems like I don't even need to think much about what to pray. Words just flow after one another and bible verse just comes naturally as I speak. Phew, it such an unforgettable experience with the Lord. After I'm done with my praying, 10 mins have exactly past and I went to prepare for work.

Thank God for this amazing experience. Hallelujah!
