GID Testimony
Before - lonely, doubt, abandoned, orphan, sought attention, family, want people, socialize, bad grades
Family divorce, why? Ghetto neighborhood, doubt, impress dad but never enough
Grace - my Father, got into top 10 music school, talents, gifts, passion
Now - still mess up, but much more aware of my sins, Holy Spirit's grief
The pressure, expectations, music, are all released because it didn't start from me
Grade 7 - 3 major passions, but didn't know why (marine biologist)
1) Learn all instruments
2) Learn all languages
3) adopt 30 children
Somehow God planted that seed so long ago.
5 year plans? Never work.
Move to Japan?
- listen, being obedient to God, be humble, be willing, be faithful
- GO.
Primary Chapel
What I learned through GID - Listening to God
"Morning Boys and Girls"
How did you know my voice? How did you know how to respond?
Why pray??? He knows everything!
It takes a long time to build a relationship, still
We recognize a voice based on familiarity, and how often we listen, 2-way street
Acts 2:1-8
Prayer request for Primary school
- Holy Spirit
- Ask, Don't be afraid
- Open Hearts
- Start relationship
- Not one time conversation
- Before you start asking why not try Listening?
