Last June 13, 2014, the Hillsong United visited the Manila again for another concert for their #WelcomeZionAsia tour. After the concert, there were people distributing fliers for Saved Festival, we were all so overflown with happiness and excitement that time that we've already planned that we're going to attend this festival. The guests were unfamiliar for me but I know that it will be a one blessed night-- again.
There were only weeks left before Saved Festival and the tickets were running out. But good thing we got 10 tickets for general admission. We don't really care what seat we're being placed because the message and blessings are distributed equally wherever you are inside the coliseum.
The first performer was the Victory Worship. They are a local band but they produce very, very good music. The song that really got me was Radical Love. It was so powerful that it will make your heart beat faster and you'll want to just shout and scream the lyrics out with all your heart!
Francis Chan's message was truly striking and very inspiring. I like it that he gave so much emphasis on the number of angels that were on God's crown and that it has the same number as the population in the Philippines. I cannot even believe it at first but it's true.
Esterlyn was a new group to my ear but their song captured everyone's heart in the coliseum. They even sang Oceans! This group may not be well-known but their music truly is one of a kind.
Israel Houghton and New Breed lifted everyone's feet from the ground. They are a very good combination! All we did throughout the worship was sing and dance and jump and shout. Honestly, I was really, really tired that time but the feeling inside me made me not want to sit down. I saw some of us already sitting but I just stood up there with my friend, Ald and we were following the dance steps that were being taught. Their performance took a while but they ended it so well. All of us were deeply blessed.

I hope that everyone would know what good music that is dedicated to Jesus really is. They are not good, they are great and will really fill you with overflowing blessing and happiness in your heart. You may find it difficult at first especially during this time because you may be surrounded with people who knows Him but do not believe in Him.
I don't really know what "risk" other people may be feeling when they are told to believe in God. Do not be ashamed if you're praising God, if you're going to church during Sundays, having a devotion every night, posting biblical verses on social media or praying before eating and sleeping. These things are the ones you should be proud of because it's your way in giving back all the blessings that God gave you.
Put your trust in Him. Trust in His timing and His commands. He will never give you a challenge that you cannot overcome. And during those challenges, remember that God is there helping you no matter what situation you are in. He is not selfish. He wants you to succeed, He wants you to be together with Him when you're going to take the first step to His kingdom.
I hope I made a good point and be of good help. ☺
Have a good day~ ♥
