Rev. Benny Hinn Crusade
Tuesday, March 15, 2005
Day 1 (11 March 2005)
today, i'm really looking forward for the crusade.. cause this is the first time i am going to Rev Benny Hinn's crusade and i never seen how God can heal people mirculously. before the crusade, i kept telling myself it's time for me to increase my faith level.
first night, there's alot of people coming for the crusade.. really looking forward. cause i saw there are alot people coming with wheel chairs and there's one lying on a bed... before the service, all the choir members need to report at 5pm. then after that, we went in to take our seats and we have a short choir practise.. we had practise with Pastor Benny's staff. he is really good.. cause when he teach us to split into parts and he sing the parts for us.. he is able to change to different parts immediately. really super fast. really amazed.. hehe..
the service started, at first, our own BV lead the praise. then after that.. Pastor Benny's staff took over. we sang the songs that's inside the black book.. hehe.. it's really fun to be in part of the choir. i really enjoyed singing.. hehe..
after that.. when we're singing "How Great Thou Art", Pastor Benny walk in from the back of the stage... really felt very happy.. hehe..
after that, we sang some worship songs and after that Pastor Benny start to preach. He talked about the gospel..
Jesus, throughout His ministry, He'll go around healing people. it's really God desire to heal everyone of us. He's not only here to die for our sins, He's here to die for our sicknesses also. all sickness can be healed when you speak upon His name.
Pastor Benny also talk about some examples, like the woman with the issue of blood. she is so full of faith, although she's being weaken by the disease that she has, but she didn't give up hope. she still continue to wait for a miracle to come. and when Jesus pass by her house, she went all the way to receive her miracle, and by her faith, she was being made well.
Pastor Benny also mentioned that in the Bible, the people have total faith on Jesus that He'll heal, no body has any doubt about that. but at that time, the scribes doubt that His ability to forgive sins... that's what happened at that time. but for now, it's the other way around. just find that it's really amazing that time can really change people mindset and perception about something.
After preaching, Pastor Benny start to minister to the people.. really looking forward for this moment as i really want to see people get healed and i don't know how's it like.. then we start to worship and Pastor Benny start to pray and lead the worship.. then about 5 mins later.. i saw one empty wheel chair being carried up on stage.. wow.. it's really amazing~! God is really my healer~!
After that.. many empty wheelchairs start to appear on stage. and there is also an empty bed being brought up on stage. in total, there's about 11 wheelchairs and 1 bed... at that time.. my heart is so filled with amazement.. some portion in my heart didn't really believe that God can really heal, as i never seen with my own eyes before. but after today, my perception changes totally.. after seeing so many miracles.. now i really believe that God can really heal.
after that.. the people who are healed came up on stage one-by-one to share their testimony.. there are alot of Indonesians came up to share their testimonies. Pastor Benny said that he will go Indonesia next year.. the Indonesian that came today was really overjoyed.. there are many people from overseas and they fly all the way to Singapore to attend this crusade and to receive healing.. countries like Korea and Indonesia.
there was one person that came up and share his testimony, he said that he got lung cancer for a few years.. and he can't breathe normally before the service.. he said that just now when Pastor Benny was praying, he felt warmth coming into his lungs and chest area and now he can breathe freely and he ran on the stage from one end to the other.. and there are many people that came up and they said that they couldn't walk nor move their arms before service.. but when Pastor Benny was ministering.. some felt that there is an electricity that came through their body, some felt warmth, some said that they just jumped out of their wheel chair and are healed..
God is really miraculous. i am truly amazed at what He can do. After quite a few came up and share their testimony, we continue to worship the Lord. His presence was so thick.. and after that, Pastor Benny turn back and ask the choir,' do you want the anointing?' wow.. really happy when he said that.. all of us said yes of course..
after Pastor Benny said that sentence, suddenly felt that God's presence get so thick suddenly, can feel His weight falling on me.. then after that.. Pastor Benny prayed for us.. and when he finished praying.. and all the choir just fall down after he shouted.. wow.. it's such a wonderful experience.. i definately will not forget..
after the whole service.. i'm really speechless.. can't help but keep worshiping the Lord.. really wanted to have this kind of presence everytime during my own quiet time.. really yearns for Him.. really want to walk close with Him.. i felt satisfied yet i still want more of His presence... this experience is something then i couldn't describe through words.. it's something that you really need to experience it yourself.
Day 2 (12 Mar 2005)
today supposed to have only one service.. but last night Pastor Kong announce that we're going to have an additional service. really looking forward. haha.. after last night's experience.. i'm coming back for more of Him.. hee..
today's afternoon service.. Pastor Benny shared about God's presence and glory, what the difference and stuff.. he said that.. presence of God is really very precious.. some times in His presence.. there is a holy silence.. a slight whisper can break this silence and His presence will leave too..
i really learnt alot.. really.. although the sermon is short.. but i felt that i have listened to one of the most amazing sermon ever had.. a sermon that really hit into my heart.. felt that i really want more of God.. i'm not satisfied.. i want more~!
i felt that i am really privilege to be in the choir.. to be a part to usher in the presence of God.. that time.. just after the preaching.. felt that i really cannot miss this chance.. Pastor Benny is really a very anointed man.. really must grab as much as possible from him.. after this crusade.. i don't know when is the next.. furthermore.. after yesterday's experience.. today.. i'm back for more.. i don't want to go back empty handed and felt nothing.. i want my vessel to be filled with the anointing of the Holy Spirit.
after the preaching.. we start to worship God.. this time.. i felt that there is a different flow.. felt that God's moving in a different way.. a stronger way.
Pastor Benny start to pray for the congregation.. he lay hands on people on the first row.. then after that.. he ask the people in the floor area to hold hands.. then Pastor Benny prayed for them and BAM! all of them fell under the power of God.. wow..
after that.. he pray for people on my right.. he did the same thing.. ask them to hold hands.. and the same thing happened.. wow.. i am really amazed by the sight.. God's presence is so strong.. so thick.. wave after wave of His presence coming into SIS.. like a mighty wind.. i never saw this before.. really.. i was really amazed by this. after that, he did the same thing to the back row and the left.. same thing happen. wow.. whole of SIS was really saturated with God's presence.. at that time, i felt my knees are so weak. i hardly could stand the weight.
after that, Pastor Benny prayed for the choir.. wow.. i really felt so refreshed.. after so many days of practising, i felt that this is all worth it. i really love to dwell in His presence.. i don't want to leave.. i wish i could be in His presence all the days of my life. i want to be closer and closer to Him each day.
after the service, all of us are so excited.. as we believe that the next service will be another power packed crusade, even more powerful than the last one..
so now is the second service of the day, the last service for the whole Pastor Benny's crusade. i really can't believe that time really flies. and now is already the last service..
and this service, i sang as loud as i could. i want to make sure that i'll be able to remember as much from this crusade as possible, the every little detail. in this service.. i know everyone feels the same as me.. actually, i really enjoyed these few days. this crusade really open my eyes alot, i thank God for Pastor Benny, he let me see what it means by working hand in hand with the Holy Spirit, tapping into the supernatural, created one miracles after another.
every service, there will be alot of people coming into the service sick, wounded. and when the service ends, people will be healed, restored. i thank God, He is really great.
Holy, are You Lord. No other, I adore. Holy, most worthy of praise. Jesus I give You all...
After the last service, i relly felt so blessed. i felt so happy. i don't want to go home. i want to stay in SIS as long as i could. but i still need to rush for the last train..
i really thank God that i didn't miss this crusade, and i thank God i'm in the choir. i felt my faith level is really being stretched and expanded in these few days.. thank You Jesus, You're great.
