The Power of Visualization!

These few days I've experienced a lot of powerful things in my life and today I would to share with you one of the most powerful thing that I've learned. It's called the power of visualization. Here it goes.

Yesterday I had a very happy day with lots of blessings. I had to lead choir practice and I was really happy to see 9ppl came up for practice. It really makes me happy to see so many people to come and sing together. It was really an encouragement to me. I was also truly blessed with a hot drink after service by a very good friend of mine as I was coughing these few days. Well the most happiest thing is I had 3 revelation yesterday! I've learned about the power of visualization.

Firstly, Charis Lian was sharing her testimony about how God blessed her in her life as a teenager. Indeed it was very good to hear her testimony on how she is blessed financially. There was something that struck me in while she was sharing. She was sharing on the the power of visualization. She said that she was touched by Pastor Kevin's message year ago when he was preaching on Vision. So she started to visualize her future and how she can be successful in her studies. Indeed she was blessed and had excellent results for her SPM. (9As if im not mistaken). I was pretty amazed by a teenage girl visualizing her future in such a way and in return, she was amazingly blessed. Her uncle blessed her with an amount of 5 figures! Can you believe that? (I hope my uncle is reading this right now!!! LOL!!)

Secondly, after Pastor took up the mic to preach. He was preaching on evagelism and how we should share about our faith to people. So he started to illustrate about a fried rice that someone recommended to him. She said that the fried rice is very nice. Then he replied, "It's just chow fan lah! What's so special about it?" Then she said, "No no!!! This is the best fried rice that you can ever find. This is a special fried rice!" So Pastor was describing exactly how that person explained to him. Here it goes, "It's the best Fried Rice that you've ever tasted in your whole life! The fried rice is very different from all that you have eaten. The fried rice is cooked with salty duck egg. It is ssoooo nice!!! When the fried rice is cooked, you can see how the rice is being surrounded by the egg. Every frangrance of the rice that you put in your mouth, you can feel the tastiness of the egg wrapping the rice and the rice inside, it's so pure, so natural, so delicious!!! The taste is so uncomparable to other fried rice, it's indeed the best fried rice ever!!!" After he described the fried rice, Wow!!! That really made me hungry!!! After that he started to describe the tastiness of a bak kut teh, especially the Klang BKT. hehehe... BKT rocks!!! :D Try to visualize the fried rice. What would it look like? How would it taste like? How will it smell like?
Will it look like this???



Or maybe like this? with the wonderful and delicious prawns!!!


Does these make you feel Yummy???? =)

Thirdly, I went for my weekly guitar class on the same day itself. I've learned from Andrew about the skills of a musician. We can have skills but if we cannot flow with the song leader and the cell leader, then it's not worth being skillful. We must have a balance in both. Use our skills for the glory of God. Then he shared that every week before the cell group starts, 1hr before, he will be at home and he will start to visualize the entire cell group meeting. So he will run the entire cell group in his mind and then he will go for cell group prepared and able to flow with the cell leader.

Well these 3 revelations in one day really impacted me. Indeed visualizing is a powerful tool. It is so powerful that I will start applying this into my life. I want the people around me to be blessed by me. So as I was going back by car, thanks to Su min for sending me home, I was thinking that I have done my cell group bulletin for the past 1 year now. I would like someone else to rise up in my cell group and to be able to make the bulletin. It's not that I'm fed up of making it, it's just that as time passes by, I will have to rise up for a higher calling already. So I better get myself prepared for my future. So I started to visualize someone who will take up this responsibility in my cell group. Guess what? As Ray, my housemate, came home, he said, "Robin, Robin... I was just thinking of you!!!" This is very unsual that he will just randomly think of me. It sounds pretty much like my brother when he wants something from me. hehehe... Anyway so he said, "Robin I was looking for you, can you teach me how to do cell group bulletin? Do you have time now? Teach me now!" This is so unexpected! I never believe that he would actually ask me to teach him. So I spent around 1hr maybe to teach him everything about how to do the bulletin and what need to be inserted inside. I even thought him the structure of different songs, about what is a verse, chorus, bridge and a pre-chrous. So I taught him the basic technical pieces of a song. As I finished teaching him, he RAN, as in literally, to his laptop and started to do and put into practice what I've taught him. WOW!!! This is really amazing!!!

Another thing that happened was today. I had my presentation for Lifespan Development class. I love this class so much! I really learned a lot of things. My group had to present a talk show in class today and we did it. We didn't have much time to prepare it but praise God that it turned out to be very good indeed. Before I went to present the show, I visualized it to be a good presentation where we will just act and make it an enjoyable and funny talk show. Indeed it was very funny and even the lecturer laughed at me (means good marks), and everybody laughed together. After class, I did received very good feedback from my classmates. Wow!!! See how powerful visualization can be??? It's indeed very powerful!!!

To conclude this post, let me demostrate you the power of visualization. Have you ever eaten a pork burger before??? Well there's no such thing in Malaysia, just too bad! But I have tried one before!!! Not in Malaysia lah!!! :P hahahaha!!! I went to China last December and I had this delicious pork burger and it looked like this...
