Gatekeepers

Attendance:
Alvin, Amanda, Jaron, Lele, Nana, Chris, Shaun (7)

Main Prayer Pointers:
Shaun - pray over the ministry regarding spiritual apathy. Declare over His sword. Are we ready to believe? God is ready to fulfil his plans. We must believe what we declare!

Amanda - Saw a Narnia-like scene where there was an army charging forward with their spears pointing out. Pray for passion.

Nana - Was impressed with the sentence, "This ministry will grow". The growth will not just be in numbers, but in maturity as well. We should declare God's promises over the ministry. Joel 2:28-29 - "I will pour out My Spirit..."

Chris - Pray against strife, repent for the past wrongdoings in the ministry.

Dreams/Visions/Impressions:
Alvin - During his preparation for worship, he was reminded of the peace of God. It's like God reminding us of who He is; the God of peace. Also, we've compromised. We've compromised on worship, teaching of the Word of God, and correction; because we think the youth don't understand or think all this is boring, so we don't do all those things. We need to change that!

Amanda - Impressed with the songs "Empower me" and "Be magnified".

Shaun - We need to teach people not to look at God as a provider or Santa Claus. We need to enjoy Him and appreciate Him for who He is to us. We should treat our time at church as an act of worship and not just duty.

Chris - We treat God as an event and not as a person. We need to change that!

Takeaway:
We are not here to pass time, we are here at Gatekeepers, praying to change things!

Pre-Lifegroup Prayer

Dreams/Visions/Impressions:
Pearlyn - Sensed that people's hearts will be open (even the 'difficult' ones) and there will be more chances to be a testimony and share with them.

Nana - Had a mental image of a red banner, waving 'fiercely' with power. During the week, had a mental image of an eagle, soaring in the sky, above the buildings. This talks about having another perspective (a higher perspective), one that looks beyond ourself and our situations. Looking at the bigger picture, see what God is doing in our midst.

(P.S. If there's more, tell me to add on! Thanks!)

Revival Meeting

Dreams/Visions/Impressions:
Aunty Lee Noi - The Lord showed me the entire expanse of wall that was built up. It was fortified wall, fit to protect a city and there was many stretches of built-up walls. I saw a young green shoot growing next to the wall.

Sense to read Nehemiah again and there seem to be a call for season of fasting and repentance before God (Chapter 1).

Gatekeepers

Attendance:
Alvin, Aunty Lee Noi, Christian, Joanna Khor, Joanna Tay and Joel (6).

Dreams/Visions/Impressions:
Alvin - While preparing for worship for Gatekeepers I distinctly sensed a pull toward "surrender." The surrender of my prejudices, my preferences and my struggles came to mind.

Aunty Lee Noi - Saw closed-up view of new wall which was built. God says He will build that wall, but before He can, He invites us to give Him our burdens, surrender them to Him. Next, saw a section of wall which was broken down. Asked the Lord why it was so and the answer was "worship". The people had forgotten how to worship Him. I see my hand picking up a stone and laying it on the broken-down wall. As I learn to worship God again, the wall gets built up.
