Touched by God

Hello everyone!
Today, i would like to touch on the topic about the holy spirit=)

You know, like just now, just only, my brother was touched by God!
My brother is only 8! and he goes to sunday sch and stuff..
However, he was not touched by God...he goes to Sun sch just for fun and because my mum wants him to go...
I have been praying for him to get touched by God...i didn't expect God to work so so quickly in his life! God is AMAZING! and prayers really work!
This is also what i have seen while serving in the children's ministry that the children are so so untouched by God at all...

How can i tell that my bro was touched?
He started crying when my mother was talking about some serious stuff...
Then we ask him what happen? then he say he dunno! He say that he dunno why he cry but he just feel very sad suddenly!
He couldn't stop crying...just couldn't stop at all....
my mother told me and my sis that it was the Holy spirit that touched him...
I doubted at first because it was so out of the blue!
However, my mother told me that before this, he told my mum that half of him believe in God and the other half of him did not...
As i see him cry non-stop, not knowing why, i started to be more and more convinced that he was touched by God. Also because i have seen instances whereby people in church just starts laughing and crying when the holy spirit touched them...
After that he told me "you know why i cry? i dunno why ah, but then ah..my brain is like a television and God transmit to me something...when i close my eyes when mama was praying for me, i saw papa and jun heng(his best friend), and i think that God is telling me that i must save them cause they are buddists"
The bible says in acts chap 2 verse 17 " And young men shall see visions..."

Oh! there was one more point that i missed out...before that, he was trying again and again to play some toy, but he couldn't get it..he wanted to give up but my mum encouraged him and asked him to pray...
He said "huh? God won't help me in a game what...i thought God only can help us in studies..i thought he won't do such a silly thing like a game!"
i had thoughts like this when i wanna win a certain game...
At the end, after he prayed, he got it! but he said it was he who do it...my heart sank when i hurt this...
However, after the crying incident, he told everyone in the house that God is the one who helped him! How amazing God can be=)

The main reason why i am telling you all these is that, i wanna show you all how amazing God can be!
He takes care of everything in our lives..even if you feel that it is a small and insignificant thing (just like the games), God takes it really seriously...he loves you so so much!
In the bible, mark chap 10 verse 15 "Truely I say to you, whoever does not recieve the kingdom of God like a child will not enter it at all."
Don't you think that this is a good verse?
Children are innocent, pure, unaffected by the world around us...thats why i LOVE them!
Their faith goes beyond our imagination because they just trust and believe without doubt...

I ever heard of a story about a child of age 8 recieving the gift of tongues!
So i feel that God can even impact the life of little children, why not anyone of us?
As long as we take a step of faith and believe just like little children, God can impact anyone of us! Open your hearts and let him touch you!

Even my mum has a certain change in her...because i prayed for her! (before that, she drifted away from God because of my brother's studies and stuff)
However, God didn't give up on her and she started going for cell and church more regularly...
And today, when we are like on a taxi, going back home, the taxi driver suddenly press the brakes as the car in front suddenly stop or something..then we like sort of flew forward...if this happen in the past, my mum would scold the uncle!
I was suprised when she just kept quiet! cool right? hahaha=)

Oh! We started a prayer group like at home! We had to tell our prayer requests and everyone of our family have to pray for one another! cool right?
I think it is a very good thing..and i do hope that this continues with God in our presence!
I am sure that as we work as one, revival can happen!
So i encourage you all to do it with your family too!!! cause we should make use of this opportunity that God place in our lives!!

GOD LOVES EVERYONE!
