| 07 Jun 2009 | My enjoyment from today :)- I really enjoyed the young people's meeting today. I was with the fellow highschoolers and it seemed like everyone was so ALIVE in their spirit today on such a good topic. Oh I enjoyed how God is the ONLY WAY. MAny christian groups try to use bribes such as rock music and food to bring people to the meetings. But HALLELUJAH!! Christ should always be the main attraction, and thank the lord, he allures us back to every meeting. My brother wants me to write this on the website =P.....For a long, long time I've been praying for something with ALL my spirit and have been asking others to pray for it. One day, I found out that my prayer came to be unanswered. My sudden emotions were anger at the Lord. I was like "Lord! I prayed every day, shouldn't I get my part of the deal?" I was super frustrated and closed myself to Jesus. I told my family how I was feeling and my brother sent me a hymnal #. I was searching, searching, searching the hymnal.net for some encouragement and I came across this comment on a song:Man's greatest suffering is finding his desires unfulfilled. When a person cannot satisfy his desires, he may rebel, disagree, or complain in his heart. But if he would lift up his head at that very moment and say to the Lord, "I thank You because this is Your will," his capacity would be increased. Without the cross, all spiritual blessings will stop. When harsh words, unkind expressions, or unhappy incidents happen at home, a person may weep. Yet if he would say to the Lord in tears, "I accept and am satisfied with the things You have permitted to come upon me," he would grow. Madam Guyon said, "Lord, even if You chastise me with a whip, I will still kiss that whip with my mouth." ---This comment helped me to realize that god's will was not to answer my prayer. But I just need to thank him that this is his will. He alone knows the road ahead of me. Him, not answering my prayer, brought me closer to Himself and caused me to be so appreciative for the situations he puts me in, good or bad. |

| 26 May 2009 | I just had such a good time singing with all of the other young people last saturday night! It was so enjoyable! I particularly enjoyed the hymn "What things were gains to me" so much! It was so encouraging to hear all of us young people shouting, proclaiming to the devil in absoluteness "I WON"T GIVE UP!NO!" This song often brings tears to my eyes when we all sing it because I am reminded of how the enemy is always subtly endeavoring to pull us out of this fervent and loving "battle cry." It's so special to be able to state that we "count all as refuse" and "forget the things behind" just so that we can press forward!I just want to keep pursuing with you ALL! Lord, have mercy on each one of us to pursue! You're the priceless prize! |

| 24 Mar 2009 | Short reminder to all: When you are not exercising your mingled spirit, you will automatically exercise your mind, which as we have seen in the conference, results in total rebellion (Cain-murder, and his descendants creating their own provision, protection, and pleasure) |

| 23 Mar 2009 | I really enjoyed the way to escape the 2nd fall of man. When we see that we should not be presumptuous, that we should live for God and worship Him according to His way, realize the vanity of human life, and the fragility of man,we will spontaneously call on the name of the Lord ("Jehovah") O' Lord Jesus, O'Lord Jesus. Genesis 4:26 outline point IV of message 4 Our calling will lead us to walk with God. To walk with God is to take Him as our center and everything, to do things according to His revelation and leading, and do everything with Him. Then we will spiritually beget and care for others, escaping the ultimate issue of man's fall, death. God is real, God is living, God is present and God is God. V. A.2. and D. of message 4 Praise the Lord!, Praise the Lord, Praise the Lord! Hallelujah!, Amen! |

| 04 Mar 2009 | Hallelujah, Christ is all and in all! I really enjoyed being
with the high schoolers this past weekend at the HS and College Blending
Time at UCLA. I believe that through this time, the Lord has been able to
shepherd many high schoolers through the college students and build them
more solidly into His Body. This blending time has been a double benefit to both the high school and college students, because the HS students are being cared for by ones whom they feel comfortable opening up to, and the college students are blessed with the joy of shepherding others. I pray that this will initiate a positive cycle of receiving and cherishing between the HS and college students. In addition, I would love to see more blending times like these in the future; however, we know that they are not the fix-all solution. What our young people really need is a personal, continuous shepherding by all the members of the Body cooperating together. This needs to be done in a spirit of love, through much prayer, and with the intention of gaining them for the church. This is simply the God-ordained way. I would like to echo what the brothers shared regarding the goal for the church in LA in 2009. If we can all pick up the burden to shepherd one young person in a regular way this year, the church in LA will be vitalized. Let us go on in our care for the young people, and may the Lord gain more of His increase within the church. I believe that the shining of Lord’s love through the saints can overcome all the worldly contamination and hardness in the hearts of our young people, and will ultimately lead them to choose Christ over everything else. |

| 03 Mar 2009 | We had about 22 at Abner and Ying ying's house for the YP's
meeting last Sat eve. About 11 JH YP and 11 serving ones. Praise the Lord!
We really enjoyed "squeezing the juice" out of the song, O may a clear
controlling vision of the Lord's economy direct our heart by shouting
Hallelujah Amen about 5-6 times between each verse of the song. Hallelujah
Amen Hallelujah Amen Hallelujah Amen Hallelujah Amen Hallelujah Amen Hallelujah Amen |

| 04 Aug 2008 | Dear Saints, Thank you for everything you've done for us. Thank you for your love to the yp and the Lord. This type of love is what keeps us going. Time during the ssot was very difficult for me but then it very enjoyable at the meetings. Now I find myself every day and night desperate for the Lord. I never realized how much I was in love with Him until after the first week of ssot. I learned to rely on the Lord for everything, especially when I was sharing, or giving advice to a fellow sister. I feel very blessed to be chosen by Him, and to feel at one point in time He actually thought about me. Everyone, including myself, have gone though or will go though hardships in life, but those experiences do not continue forever. Although they mold you into the person you are, I pray that no one be defeated by Satin in this journey. We have compainioins and we should never feel alone...and also becuase ^^^^^^^^^ He is always with you. May the Lord grow in us. -ONE MORE THING- ~1 John 3:11 For this is the message which you heard from the beginning, that we should love one another. ... .. . ~Neh. =] |

| 30 Jul 2008 | It is so amazing to learn from the recent SSoT that God forgives and forgets our sins, but will never forget us regardless of our condition. God really loves man. His heart desire and goal is a corporate man that will express Him and represent Him with His authority for eternity. So no matter how bad the man became , even became His enemy, He would still find His way to get us ( the man)back to Him, to repossess us at the highest cost and to reconcile to Him. Then subjectively, He would sanctify, transform and conform us to His image by the growth of the divine life in our spirit and through the environmental dealings so that He can spread His life from our spirit to every part of our being, the soul,to have a renewed mind to express Him. Then our body will be conformed to the body of the Lord's glory. This is the climax of God's full salvation to fulfill His eternal purpose. Praise the Lord. |

| 29 Jul 2008 | Summer School of Truth 2008 God's Full Salvation- I always thought salvation was a one-time-and-done thing. Then after, everytime I commit a sin or realize how short I am, i always began to question my faith and salvation. However, this summer school of truth, I saw that salvation is of three stages. 1) the salvation of our spirit-the initial stage (regeneration). 2) the salvation of out soul-the progressing stage (sanctification, transformation, conformation). 3) the salvation of our body-the concluding stage (glorification). This made me realize that not only are we saved once, we NEED to be saved daily. We have many things out there that distract us, but we just have to see that finishing the race and entering into the kingdom age is much better than the short-lived, thirst-leaving pleasures of this age. May we just keep on running this race! |

| 02 Apr 2008 | The subject was resurrected Christ
living in us. All Christ went through - all of His rich experiences and His
accomplishments now became so available as air, we could enjoy by breathing
Him in. The point of pure heart and clear conscience was driven at home
through many practical applications and stories. Some of the YP had questions about video games they were playing whether they should play or not. The serving one pointed out that the message was not about giving you what to do or what not to do. He said certain games are just clearly wrong to play and certain games are OK to play. But even though parents said OK to play, if it bothers you when you play, it's between you and the Lord and you should listen to your conscience. It's not following laws of "dos and don'ts", but following the sense of life within. I really enjoyed the conference. The message that spoke to JH ministered to me also. I wish there were more JH you could go. Regards Young Lee |
