In Episode 6 of our series Dan & Sarah share. Our gathering was hosted by our own Peak Youth. In this episode both Dan and Sarah share.
Dan:
In Ep.6 Dan discusses the transformative power of faith, highlighting the importance of personal change through God's power in order to positively impact the community. He emphasises the importance of actively seeking and prioritising God in one's life. He reflects on his past life as a professional golfer, where he achieved success but struggled emotionally and spiritually due to prioritising personal gains over his faith.
Despite facing depression and being unhappy, through actively seeking God, participating in prayers, and engaging with scriptures, Dan experienced a significant positive change in his life. He shares that consistent prayer, reading the Bible, and taking proactive steps to deepen his relationship with God have been fundamental to his transformation, ultimately leading to a happier and more fulfilled life.
Sarah:
Sarah shares about significant positive changes in her life and marriage, attributing these changes to her and her husband's deepening relationship with God. She encourages wives in similar situations to pray for their husbands, asking for divine intervention to bring about positive transformation in their lives.
Sarah also highlights the importance of recalling and acting upon prophetic words received, aligning actions with the divine calling one recognises in their life. She shares a personal story illustrating how God highlighted individuals for her to pray for in public, emphasising God's knowledge and care for every individual, regardless of their appearance or circumstances.
She stresses the importance of the Great Commission, urging us to preach the gospel to all and to engage in spiritual warfare through evangelism. Sarah explained that this warfare is not against individuals who may seem antagonistic or indifferent to the faith, but against the spiritual powers that hold these individuals captive. Therefore, she advocates approaching such individuals with understanding, compassion, and love rather than judgment and condemnation.
Sarah urges us to remember their state before they were saved, to contemplate God's love and salvation, and to develop a compassionate heart towards those who are still lost. This compassion, she believes, is crucial in effectively sharing the gospel and bringing others to Christ. She concludes by encouraging everyone to engage in spiritual warfare by witnessing to others about Christ's love and salvation.
