The conference was just a.m.a.z.i.n.g, and though I only went to three sessions, I was blown away by everything. Here are some awesome things I learned:
Getting Ready:
* Revival on campus happens out of complete surrender to Christ (signs and wonders won't happen unless we obey Holy Spirit's guidance) and faith (even when we don't see multitudes on our campus come to Christ, we still need to praise God's goodness). We do not need to see a super revival to be qualified to testify on stage about what God has done in our campus.
* We can't afford to waste anymore time! Whatever we sow in we'll reap from it; if we sow in watching TV all day, that's what we'll reap in our spirit, but if we sow and spend time on praying, we'll reap harvest and anointing from God. We must give up wasteful things to pursue the good things. God will give us revival on our campus, but how much do we want it? How hungry are we to be used by God, not for our sake, but for His sake?
Going In The Campus:
* We are in a time of reaping. God's telling us: the harvest is now!
* (1 Corinthians 2:1~5) Paul preached with the power of God and not eloquence or men's wisdom. When we share the gospel, we don't depend on ourselves to win souls; we depend on God. We don't need to be great speakers to share, because God's power is best shown in our weakness. If we're not walking with an intimacy with Jesus, we won't be able to do anything.
* "Killed in Action" should be our status when we do campus invasion. Our pride, fear, and desire to be respected by others need to be killed when we are on the battlefield. We no longer have reputation when we go out to evangelize, for we have become fools in men's sight for God's kingdom.
* Do open prophetic worship; people will gather because of God's presence and not because of a good event.
* The power is in the cross. If we don't preach the cross, there'll be no deliverance, power, or miracle. The enemy is defeated when we lift up the cross.
* Don't just make believers, make disciples. Today many people are getting radically saved, but most fall away in the end.
The Authority To Heal:
* (Luke 9:1~2; 10:8~9) The kingdom of God is all about healing! When demons are cast out and the sick are healed, people will know that God's kingdom is here.
* We need divine healing on our campus if we want to win souls! Signs and wonders all point people to God; Jesus always impact the heart through miracles before He changes the mind.
* Are we moving in signs and wonders? If not, we need to repent, for this generation has grieved the Holy Spirit by rejecting Him and His work.
* (Mark 16: 15~18) Jesus told us to go and make disciples; in His name we will cast out demons, speak in new tongues, and heal the sick. God has commanded the church to heal. We are ambassadors of Christ empowered to command healing and bring heaven down to earth. (Isaiah 61: 1) God sent us to set the captives free; we are freedom fighters!
* Never doubt God's intention to heal; God is a God who wants to heal and will heal. We pray for the sick out of obedience and our call to love, so don't focus too much on whether they get healed on the spot or not.
* ( 1 Corinthians 13: 1~3) Everything we do must be out of love. If we don't have love, nothing we do will make a difference.
8 Principles To Heal The Sick:
1. Ask for permission to pray for the sick.
2. Ask the person the cause and symptoms of the sickness. Our prayers need to be specific, for example, if we know that the person has headache because of stress, we can pray not just for the pain to go away, but for God to lift their stress as well.
3. Welcome the Holy Spirit before we start praying.
4. Decide whether this sickness is caused by the person's body, by demonic influences, or by unconfessed sins in that person's life.
5. Listen to the Lord and keep the prayer short and simple.
6. After the prayer, ask the person to test if the sickness or injury has gone away. Give post prayer instructions: thank God for the healing out of faith and proclaim God's promises on healing.
7. Praise God no matter what! Faith is diligence and persistence; love is never giving up.
8. Remember to pray in faith.
Prophetic Evangelizing:
* When we go out in our campus, remember that we have gold, something people would die for, that we are not trying to sell ice to Eskimos. People are hungry to hear about the love of God!
* Prophesy over people to win souls. People want to hear prophesy! They are willing to pay money for it when we can do it for free! So ask God for word of knowledge when we pray for them.

After the morning worship, the speaker, Jaeson Ma, led us all to do a powerful prayer. Everyone shouted the prayer out loud, crying out to Jesus with tears streaming down their faces. We committed ourselves to Jesus and revival on our campus. We prayed for our schools, for us to commit to praying at least one hour a day, and for us to evangelize for God and not for ourselves. I was crying as I said the prayer. I repented for being such an arrogant and loveless hypocrite; I didn't love the nonbelievers and felt no urgency to share the gospel. Also, I had been satisfied with my devotions and regular church attendance. But Jesus reminded me to come back to Him, to desire more of Him. God I want to be on fire for You! I want to go out there and evangelize in the name of love!
In the afternoon we asked for God's word of knowledge and wrote everything God told us down before we went out in twos and threes to do campus invasion. My teammates are Shelbin and Hallie (from Fly Young!!), we prayed for many people and got rejected by many. I felt the difference between praying out of love and out of "religious obligations" during the invasion. Back on my campus, I had tried praying for people, out of a desire to do what I was "supposed to do as a Christian" and not out of love. It had been tiring and fruitless. But when God's love for the lost filled me, I was bold and excited to pray for strangers.
Jesus!! Thank You so much for this conference! I'm going to win souls with prophesy and signs and wonders in UCI! God let Your fire fall down on this campus!
