Tonight, the Lord arranged two brothers to take me to one of the prayer meetings of the church in Diamond Bar. Originally, the plan was to attend in Anaheim, but the Lord had a better plan. As the brothers drove me, I fellowshipped with them how the Lord is so living, practical and real in our Christian life. Especially as a testimony I testified how the Lord led me step by step; in serving Him, in marriage and family matters. Our trip from Anaheim to Diamond Bar was full of testimonies. We all enjoyed fellowshipping with one another.
The prayer meeting at a home in Diamond Bar was so sweet. It was a very small home sweet home prayer meeting. A brother, a sister, two FTTA trainees and myself; number did not matter at all to me, but the Lord's presence and His Spirit's prayer in our prayers was most important. I enjoyed releasing my spirit and the saints did the same too. Not belittling a big prayer meeting where I could hardly release a sentence to pray because of the multitude of the saints gathering, I personally prefer a meeting where each member can thoroughly exercise our spirits and release the Lord's burden. It was so enjoyable. And I felt all the items of prayers were all answered. Hallelujah!
Though a home sweet home small prayer meeting, we covered the main items of burden for the whole world! It began with India for translation of the Recovery Version Bible into six Indian languages, propagation of the gospel and the literature service, especially, the distribution of the ministry of the word; then the burden related to Europe, specially for Germany and the gospel work among the refugees; then the full time training all over the world, especially, for the trainees; then Ethiopia and Africa; and finally, the Lord’s work among the young people, especially, the upcoming Summer School of Truths next week for one whole week in southern California.
It was a joy to be able to pray with the saints in one accord. No matter which local church, or state or country I am in, the same burden and the same one spirit in one accord prevails; a wonderful prayer meeting in Diamond Bar indeed. After the prayer I felt we have gained some "diamonds" in tonight's prayer meeting. As we drove back, I asked the brothers, "How much diamond have you gained tonight?" The answer was, "Amen! Some diamond!"
I do believe the Lord has wrought something of Himself through the prayer and the fellowship tonight. He is the Diamond! We gained Diamond in Diamond Bar! I have attended many weekly prayer meetings throughout the years, but this one is very special, therefore I blogged the experience thereof.
Home sweet home prayer meeting full of "diamonds"; I love it.
