Winter Retreat

I'm very pleased and glad that I went to the Winter Retreat this year. I really did see the Works of God's hands in our presence and as an observer I could see everything clearly that happened.

In the beginning before we left, I really didn't want to go to the camp because of some personal reasons..In the end, I chose to go.Was actually my 4th year going too and 4 years ago it was Pastor Cliff too!Firstly we arrived and started our first gamessss...followed by Worship and Talk.So happy that in just our first day we found one person commiting themselves to God already.God's Power was so strong. After was suppose to be discussion but it lead to prayer..Wow I have to say that this year was the strongest year.

Talk 1

  • Pastor Cliff shared that You will ONLY find your PURPOSE by fighting for it.( Gen 3:1-9) It tells us that May our eyes be open so that we can see Our Purpose.
  • Flesh-This is our sinful Nature.Because at Adam and Eve took the fruit from the forbidden tree so that we are all sinners as they didnt obey God but took the temptations that was from the devil. This is OUR DESIRE of Evil..Qn.Am I going to do what GOD wants me to do or the Devil?Do NOT be tempted
  • God Definately has a higher call for HE has His Plan.
  • Success is NOT living for yourself for He has His AMAZING Plan for us.
  • Failure-feel disconnected but Remember to always to Stand Back Up to it.Abraham Lincoln he faced so many failures in his life  but He NeVER Gave up! (2Tim 2:3-7)
  • Are You/God making the rules in our life? HE is asking us to be ready to answer for the Hope He has in us
  • Sincere-Genuiness  and hunger...Brings the Presence of God.
