Ohana in Action

Tuesday, June 5th 2007

Today was the 3rd day of the Ohana Camp, and the highlight of the day was the Impartation session that we had in the evening.

The name of the camp is "Ohana", which means "family" in Hawaiian. A key passage on this theme is the last verse in the Old Testament -- Mal 4:6, where God said that He will restore the hearts of their fathers to their children, and vice versa.

We were thus asked to sit together in our family units, seek the forgiveness of our family members and then pray for one another. I could feel the Holy Spirit in our midst as each parent sought the forgiveness of his/her child(ren), and as each father laid hands upon his wife and children to pray a blessing over them. All across the room, the Holy Spirit was moving as family members embraced one another, shedding tears openly as the LORD ministered to each of them.

This was the first time in my 40 years in PLMC that I have seen such a wonderful and edifying scene taking place, and I thank the LORD for equipping Rev Pastor Koh to lead our church in this very important healing and restoration work. The strongholds of bitterness, resentment and unforgiveness that have been built up over the years were finally broken that night, and we are well on the road to a major revival. Amen and amen!!
