Devotion Part 2:10MinuteswithGodTMC Youth Min
 
Hello Everyone!
Firstly, well done on finishing Devotion: Part 1!We do hope you have learnt something new or affirmed your faith in God! We alsohope you are starting to get into the flow of doing devotion every night! 3 weeks onfrom Encounter 09, and I pray that you are still encountering God every single dayof your life!We have all indeed experienced God in our own special way, and there is a fireburning in our hearts now that we can’t deny. It is my prayer that all of you willcontinue to seek the Lord each and everyday of your lives, and that He too willreveal Himself to you when you seek Him!I look forward to embarking on this second leg of devotion with you. And docontinue to develop the spiritual habit of doing a devotion and quiet time with theLord every night! It will work wonders!As mentioned in our earlier booklet, we will continue with the next 14 days of devotion here. Each night, we have assigned a youth leader to share their reflectionon the day’s devotion on our Encounter blog. Do pop in every night if you are ableto, to read the reflections of our leaders. After all, you might see things in adifferent perspective! Videos and Songs that are related to the devotion will also beposted on the blog, so tune in there!In case you have forgotten, our blog is http://encounter-09.blogspot.com.Do try to leave a tag once in a while when you visit the site so we know it’s stillbeing looked at! And if you’d like to share a testimony or share your reflection, youcan either email it in totmcyouthmin@gmail.comor make a comment on the blogitself.Also, I’d like to encourage everyone to go out and get a journal. And pen yourthoughts or your reflections down on that personal journal. I’ve kept one myself forquite a while, and looking back at it from time to time, it affirms me to show howGod has continued to answer my prayers. I do hope you will start keeping one too!So here we go!In His Love,Hernshung
“You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all yourheart.”– Jeremiah 29:13
Before You Start Each Day
’
s Devotion
 
1.
Decide on a time and place to meet with God each day.
Try to find a place with few distractionswhere you will be able to concentrate on reading the Bible and talking with God.
2.
Switch off your phone or turn it to silent.
And switch off your MSN, TV, Radio, iTunes etc. You don’twant any ringtone to interrupt God!
3.
And yes, put aside that iPod/iPhone as well!
Sometimes, His voice is so soft, you need to be quietand listen carefully, or you might miss it!
4.
Bring only a bible, this booklet, a notebook and a pen with you.
Get comfortable and prepare tolisten to God! Answer the questions of each day in the notebook, as well as journal down any thoughtsthat came to mind. Or any questions that came to mind.
5.
On some days, we will ask you to check out a video online (either on the URL stated, or on theEncounter blog).
Do check it out BEFORE you start devotion, and watch the WHOLE thing, not just the beginning.
(Sometimes the best part is the end!) Also refrain from going on Facebook, or checking that other cool YouTube Link on the side!
6.
Start some spiritual warm ups!
(Huh?)Spiritual breathing, no matter how ridiculous it might sound, is like warming up for an athlete. It will help youget in the right frame of mind to hear from God.
Try this exercise: Slowly breath out, releasing all air from your lungs. Now breathe in fresh air till your lungsare filled.
Spiritual exhaling is like breathing out and releasing all the sin in your life to God. Spiritual inhaling is likebreathing in God’s truth and His commands.
Exhale:
“Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there isany offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.” – Psalm 139: 23-24
Ask God to check your heart and mind for anything that is impure. Then listen! If he brings anything tomind, agree with Him that it is sin, turn from it and thank Him for sending His Son to die for that sin.
Inhale:
“I have been crucified with Christ and it is no long I who live, but Jesus lives in me.” – Galatians2:20 
Ask God to help you live in a way that is pleasing to Him today.
7.Try to memorise 10 passages from the Bible by the end of the 30 days!
“I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you.” –Psalm 119:11
