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!

WOW bro I love your entry man! Great encounter with the Lord, and ya I totally agree with what you said regarding the way you pray when the presence of God is there. Its totally different indeed. Isn't it awesome if we could have such encounters everyday? Lets really work towards that, and share any revelations regarding engaging the presence of God ya? Haha I feel so charged up to do my qt after reading your entry, hope I have a strong encounter too!
Nice entry Cyrus! It brought a smile to my face. =) It's an amazing feeling when we can feel His tangible presence when we do QT... last night I had the same feeling too even though I didn't have a guitar and was just singing without any background music.
Like what Ivan said, we should work towards having such an experience everyday, that we can feel His presence whenever we seek it, wherever we may be. That's the pinnacle of our walk with God!
PS: Great to see you're blogging again!
Wa.. How come you change skin? =p
Wow! Didn't realized I've such encouraging comments left on my last entry until I was editing my template today. haha thanks guys!
Ivan: Yep, even though we may be back from a long day of work or hectic class schedule, experiencing such encounters with the Lord everyday is enough to smile for the rest of the day =)
Henry: Lol, wah seems like its been really long since I updated my blog. Lol. Yep, though it is good to have background music when you are singing but that's not the main point. What matters is that you have a worshipful heart. Even if you have a whole band playing with you along with a group of ppl singing at their best, without a worshipful heart, it makes no difference with a normal music band. Can't sense the presence of God.
Nicole: Hah, cos we should use our God-given creativity to glorify God and being a Christian, we should love colours! because its the creation of God. A breakthru is coming along the way =)
P.S: I'm still in the midst of morphing my blog skin
