Praise the Lord, we just came back from the 3-day Tree of Life Heartified Commandments Worship Conference. Evidently, God was with us. Brothers, sisters and branch church pastors around the globe all received the breath of the Tree of Life and were filled with the spirit. For this, I am extremely grateful and excited.
This conference was very different from previous because we were led by the Spirit in every session, deciding who went on-stage at the very last minute. None of us prepared but naturally shared our low points and changes in a real and open way. This way, the breath of Tree of Life was released freely into the congregation. It was truly amazing and beyond my expectations.
It is only because God has been leading us that we could take a team of disciples to overseas branch churches, taking the breath of the Tree of Life to the nations. Before the pandemic first broke out, God prepared the media team and equipment for us which was never our plan but God’s leading. With the newly-risen media team and the newly-purchased equipment, we transformed into a media church during the pandemic. We began filming Following God and Mama’s Kitchen every week. Moreover, all our services are broadcast online. Hence, our branch churches can connect with us and receive nutrients every week irrespective of the challenges in the environment. God uses our media to connect with those who long to draw close to us around the globe.
On the other hand, God led us to have RAWship – worship that is totally Spirit-led. The worshippers respond just as God moves them. Such worship is free, natural, authentic and pleasing to God. There is no fixed mode of doing worship. Instead, worshippers freely worship God. During RAWship, everyone connects with God and releases their passion for worship.
On the journey of following God, it is God who reigns. Therefore, we do not have much planning. We just use whatever God gives us. From the completion of the Mercy Seat to the formation of the media team, God rules over all. The breath of the Tree of Life and RAWship we have today are by the grace of God, making this conference successful. Dear brothers and sisters, may I bless you that you shall encounter the beauty of God’s presence as you embark on the journey of love and trust, amen!■【2023.08.27】
