another weekend without viewing but went to Ignite conference and was so greatly blessed.
To begin with, the host, Heart of God Church, were excellent. They were so warm that Anton couldn't stop talking about them. They made me realise how far we were falling behind in this caring department. Oh and they are also much nicer than *the other church* heh.
Joachim Lundqvist (not sure bout spelling), is a charismatic speaker with tons of awesome testimonies. But that nite.. I suppose many left the conference thinking about his story about Sara, the girl with cancer.
This girl was a new believer, she was on fire. But not long after she received Christ, she was diagnosed with cancer.
When Joachim called her, intending to console her, this is what she had to say, "Ok, the Bible says God can heal me. But even if I die, I’ll take as many with me to Heaven as possible."
Her group became one of the most radical in Sweden, reaching individual students 10 times as often as the national goal of once annually. Through music, drama, personal one-on-one evangelism and prayer, their group exploded from 4 members to 35 within the year. They even saw a black-leather, heavily pierced Satanist in the school saved. The reason: Sara’s lifestyle of joy even through the cancer. Today, Sara is a county coordinator for New Generation in Sweden – and totally healed of cancer. *Praise God!!!*

It made me thinking.. my morning prayer is often filled with requests for my job, my dream, my family's problem, my this and my that. Not that it's wrong but..
i think.. the girl has showed me what it means to follow Jesus, to believe Him when he teaches us not to worry about what we gonna eat or wear. But to seek His Kingdom and righteousness, first and foremost.
For this should be one of the most defining point of differences between us and the world. That we know we live for one main purpose only: the Kingdom.
