The conference was great! I was blessed by the great teaching. I have struggled with the fear of man for a pretty long time. I totally could identify 100% with Pastor Mark's sharpener denial story. :) and when he shared a checklist to see if a person had a problem with the fear of man, i mentally ticked all of the criteria! As a person who loves God and wholeheartedly desires to make a difference, this fear has caused me a lot of frustration and heaps of guilt. Because even though I really wanted to share my faith, most of the time I would shrink back from it in conversations with friends. All kinds of situations scare me - sharing a testimony, leading Bible study, sharing my faith, talking to a new person. Hearing Pastor Mark's own stories of how in the past, he allowed fear to take over was very reassuring, because now this same sharpener-denying person is a great preacher for God!
I always thought that it was a feeling I had to overcome, some sort of a weakness in my character, if you like. However, Pastor Mark shared a truth which helped me to understand this problem better. He said that "fear is not a feeling, it's a spirit." Suddenly i realised I had the ability to overcome this - by the name of Jesus! It wasn't a feeling i had to keep fighting! It wasn't a personality flaw or weakness, but a spiritual problem which we can overcome by exercising our authority as children of God. So I prayed that afternoon and rebuked the spirit of fear. It was liberating. I continue to stand on the freedom that Christ has given me, even if it means that I have to keep closing the door to fear many times over the next few months or years. God is so good! I am excited to start living a life of no regrets by following Jesus without fearing man.- Wye Yi
I'm Cordelia and just wanna say how much God has changed my life and blessed me through the deeper conference. Pastor Mark's preaching about an undivided heart has got me thinking about what have I given my heart to. I realised my heart didn't totally belong to God. And also bout the one about we have to know who we are, who God is, and to see people as they are? It really helped me see things in a new way and I no longer feel bothered that much about how people think of me. I also learned that we have to ask for God's touch if we really hunger for it. Altogether, I've learn lots of new things and most of all, my passion to see my classmates save was renewed, I realised that I got to make a difference and not to give up on my school even though some of my friends see me as a person that always pesters them about God. Just wanna encourage Uncle Kester and everyone that is involved in the organizing that you all did a great job and I really appreciate it! God bless you all!- Cordelia Mejin
God really touched and refreshed and refocused me through this conference. Last year's Deeper conference was my turning point, God absolutely changed me. This year I got a change of heart and the fire of the Holy Spirit and a clearer understanding of the life I want to live for Jesus. It was awesome!!- Ryner
