LYPG 14/8

Hi, Marcus and Joshua I here.


We've decided to change how the blog works. Today we had LYPG and 7 people attended. For the first time in LYPG Kulim history, we prayed for 50 minutes non-stop.

We started out with watching the MYPG anniversary video. We had a short worship session after that. There was no sharing today, instead we focused mainly on praying. Our theme this week was "Hunger for God".

After spending some time seeking the Lord and inviting Him and also confessing our sins, we entered a time of intercession for our families, friends, the Church, our nation and the nations of the world. As we prayed, lightning came..

Joshua I :
While praying our non-Christian friends, God gavc Deut 11:1 " 1 Love the LORD your God and keep his requirements, his decrees, his laws and his commands always."

Rachel :
While praying through scripture, God gave Habbakuk 1:1-4
' 2 How long, O LORD, must I call for help,
but you do not listen?
Or cry out to you, "Violence!"
but you do not save?

3 Why do you make me look at injustice?
Why do you tolerate wrong?
Destruction and violence are before me;
there is strife, and conflict abounds.

4 Therefore the law is paralyzed,
and justice never prevails.
The wicked hem in the righteous,
so that justice is perverted.

Marcus confirmed this with what happened during his school assembly when his headmistress lashed out accusations at Israel.

Nadine :
Received Psalm 41 during praying through the scriptures.
1 Blessed is he who has regard for the weak;
the LORD delivers him in times of trouble.

2 The LORD will protect him and preserve his life;
he will bless him in the land
and not surrender him to the desire of his foes.

3 The LORD will sustain him on his sickbed
and restore him from his bed of illness.

4 I said, "O LORD, have mercy on me;
heal me, for I have sinned against you."

5 My enemies say of me in malice,
"When will he die and his name perish?"

6 Whenever one comes to see me,
he speaks falsely, while his heart gathers slander;
then he goes out and spreads it abroad.

7 All my enemies whisper together against me;
they imagine the worst for me, saying,

8 "A vile disease has beset him;
he will never get up from the place where he lies."

9 Even my close friend, whom I trusted,
he who shared my bread,
has lifted up his heel against me.

10 But you, O LORD, have mercy on me;
raise me up, that I may repay them.

11 I know that you are pleased with me,
for my enemy does not triumph over me.

12 In my integrity you uphold me
and set me in your presence forever.

13 Praise be to the LORD, the God of Israel,
from everlasting to everlasting.
Amen and Amen.

Marcus :

While praying for the hearts of the attendees of thePlan09 to be in tune with God's will saw:
- A pair of hands kneading dough
- A blacksmith pouring out refined gold into casts and moulds

While praying through scriptures, received Jeremiah 2:12-13

12 Be appalled at this, O heavens,
and shudder with great horror,"
declares the LORD.

13 "My people have committed two sins:
They have forsaken me,
the spring of living water,
and have dug their own cisterns,
broken cisterns that cannot hold water.

Overall, LYPG today was refreshing and rejunvenating. It was also an exciting time of prayer as we finally heard God speak to us. Next LYPG will be held next Friday at

Signing off.
