On wednesday, i had discipleship class with ivan at night. I love how Ivan shared with us and stuffs.
Ivan told us that we have to be someone who can run on their own now with God.
We have to constantly get revelations from God, get comfort from God.
2 Corinthians 1: 3-7
Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, The Father of Compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfortthose in any trouble with the comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God.For just as the sufferings of Christ flow over into our lives, so also through Christ our comforts overflows. If we are distressed, it is for your comfort and salvation; if we are comforted. it is for your comfort which produces in you patient endurance of the same sufferings we suffer.And our hope for you is firm, because we know that Just as you share in our sufferings, so also you share in our comfort.(1) We are called to be comforters by God
-everyone has to be the comforters that God wants us to be.
(2) Sufferings of God
What do we mean by the sufferings of God?
It means that the trouble and tribulations of those people that we comforts.
(3) Reward = consolation
Affliction = comfort = Consolations

2nd Person
For (1) to (3)
its like a never ending cycle. it will keep repeating.
my Leadership is not = to me.
it means the people that is lead by you
the more we listen to God, the more we will grow.
the more we help others, the more we will grow.
2 corinthians 1: 8-14
We do not want you to be uninformed, brothers, about the hardships we suffered in the province of Asia. We were under great pressure, far beyond our ability to endure, so that we despaired even of life.
Indeed, in our hearts we felt the sentence of death, But this happened that we might not rely on ourselves but on God, who raises the dead.
He has delivered us from such a deadly peril, and he will deliver us.
On him, we have set our hope that he will continue to deliver us, as you help us by your prayers. Then many will give thanks on our behalf for the gracious favor granted us in anwser to the prayers of many.
Now this is our boast; our conscience testifies that we have conducted ourselves in the world, and especially in our relations with you, in the hliness and sincerity that are from God. We have done so not according to worldly wisdom but according to God's grace.
For we do not write you anything u cannot read or understand. And i hope that, as youo have understood us in part, you will come to understand fuly that you can boast of us just as we will boast of you in the day of the Lord Jesus.
keywords Purpose
(1) For your conscience (a) Understand our purpose as a comforter.
(2) Conduct in simplicites (b and C)
(3) in God's sincerity Our behaviour
(4) Not with fleshly vision
(5) by grace of God (d and e) Knowing our functions well
After this, Ivan lead prayer. He cal us to get this small still voices in us. This small still voice is the God. when we quiet down, this voice will start talking to us. he will start to tell you what to do, revelations will come, vision will be birthed forth.
Then Ivan, asked us to received it. he touched my neck and said, received it ! . so cool. i almost cried during this time. hahaa That after so long, i heard God's voice again, the same voice that ask me to have faith, grow, and telling me visions for the things im going to do in the future.
It was the same voice. The annointing, the presence of God was so thick.
Zechariah 3: 6 -7
6 The angel of the Lord gave this charge to Joshua : 7"This is what the Lord almight says :'If you will walk in my ways and keep my requirements, then you will govern my house and have charge of my courts, and i will give you a place among these standing here"
Isaiah 61: 1 - 6
1 The spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me, because the Lord has annointed me to preach good news to the poor.
He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted,
to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners,
2 to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor
and the day of vengeance of our God,
to
comfort all who mourn
3 and provide for those who grieve in Zion--
to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of gladness
instead of mourning and a garment of praise
instead of a spirit of despair.
They will be called oaks of righteousness,
a planting of the Lord
for the Display of his Splendor.
4They will rebuild the ancient ruins and restore the places long devastated;
they will renew the ruined cities that have been devastated for generations.
5Aliens will shepherd your flocks;
foreigners will work your fields and vineyards.
6And you will be called priests of the LORD
you will be name ministers of our God
You will feed on the wealth of nations, and in their riches you will boast.
My revelations, My God
