TOUCHED BY JESUS IN RETREAT TUMPANG NGADIRESO MALANG INDONESIA 26-29 SEPT 2013


Hopefully, this
experience is useful for others...this experience is based on my own experience.
I came to the inner wound healing retreat on 26-29 September 2013 ago.
 I  Let you know     that I actually really really really
wanted to follow the retreat or recollection. I have planned  to go to recollection  about 2010 ago. There is a willing so deeply to participate in events    spirituality .
Felt I was too tired to wade through life , so deep down , and wants to be  refreshed  physically and especially spiritually .The last time  I followed retreat was in my    
Junior High School when I was in third
yearr class or if I'm not mistaken maybe early high    school class in 1998 , a very long time ago. 
Actually when I was little I was a child who likes to go
to retreat and because it was a must for student
to follow the retreat held by the  school , and because
especially my school is Catholic school in Malang SDK Sang Timur.  
  I feel happy and       peaceful once following the retreat.
What makes me really intend to join this retreat is because I have experienced
a bad thing    which beat my heart mind.
A very uncomfortable, a very bad
things happened to me. Maybe this is warn from the Lord
that my perception of something is wrong , and is a
great  sin , and I realized after the fact that what I had done wrong . I am a sinner . During college away from parents , my heart is wavering , I 've also , but this may be a trial, I prefer to        convert and
to turn away from Jesusjust because of the pursuit
of happiness with the person I love the man who have   
  the same faith in Jesus who will marry me.
Because oftenly I could not find the right
one.     
 I felt desparated and gived up that way   as they often
do not get along and not paired, so this makes me seriously hurt, angry or disappointed to the Lord Jesus , because I felt it was well intentioned, wants to be faithful to Jesus by seeking couples life partner who
have christanity faith, why I even have not found the way , it makes me easily tossed around ,     wanted to convert just to get married to the people I love . I also because  of that  very rarely go to church, rarely receive communion , even go to church but my mind is not focused on Jesus . And the worst I 've ever read the novel
The Da Vinci Code at the time I was in college it was famous.
I was offered to read the book by my friend in college who comes from other faiths.      
And I frankly started to falter my faith about Jesus.
Was my fault when my faith wasnt strong  
 I just read the readings prone which is not supportive of
faith in Jesus . I started to not  believe in Jesus .
It is indeed a great sin . I just realized that the book is an attempt of devil   to make the people of God
  away from true salvation .
The book is the Antichrist . Because   weak faith , I am easily tempted by worldly concerns . The point I fell
in the mud of sin. I just realized that I have deviated from the path of God when there is a bad event happened to me.
And I deeply regret sincerely that I was wrong all along.
I was wrong just to get my love would do anything.
When they wanted to follow the actual retreat was almost cured my heart with much prayer and confession already.
But there is a great encouragement that I should join the retreat .
There are always voices that say why joined the show
as it is, may  not be a lot of benefits .
And also the sound "Thats not big problem , so
why join the retreat?"
 But the grateful voice of the Holy Spirit still win against myself.
I finally fixed set although there is also a prevalence of 2 days before the day of the sudden my blood pressure low,   my body limp, head  circles, each rise as would fall .
Had also thought if this continue I may not be participating retreat .
When I reached the hermitage Ngadireso Carmelite Nuns Tumpang Malang , I am still puzzled by the circumstances and  busy
looking for a room . Fortunately I soon found
my       room -mates , and with her, I almost followed all the events together . When the briefing      session, I was very touched to see the slides were played by nuns , that in fact God
the      Father loves us .
Even before we were formed to a seed in the womb we are concerned by the Lord , even how many hairs we  have God already know.
How very precious we are to God the Father.
God the Father is very affectionate with us.
Also there is a slide that           
illustrates that there is someone who is too busy how to get to the heart of women he loves,
whining to the Lord Jesus for
help in order to get to the heart of women he wants.             
Meanwhile, the Lord Jesus himself had prepared a lot of gifts for the person when the          person
is turned hearts to Him.
Simply Jesus already provides abundant blessings is so easy to be forgotten .
 We are more than happy to hang out with joy to be closer to us than Jesus .
Yet in Jesus we will never be a shortage.
After briefing was completed, the event continued with Taize Adoration .
 I 've never followed the adoration before,  even though I once entered the room adoration but  I 've never followed the adoration procession. What I know and feel when in the space
of   Adoration is a sense of peace,  such as forgetting the problems that are being hit,
 which is felt when it is quiet and peaceful it alone.
Finally, when the adoration begins nuns began to lead the adoration with songsof praise. Adoration itself a tangible homage to Jesus Host    placed in the monstrance.
 The monstrance by the nuns placed in the center
of the altartable so every body could see.
 I also chose to sit on the wing altar right and slightly behind  but 
still can see the shape monstrance itself . In my
heart I want to see the embodiment
of         Jesus in the monstrance shape because
 I want to focus adoration by looking inwardly        
monstrance and said that Jesus was in a monstrance.
One of nuns before sang praises saying  
" If anyone feels vibrate do not be
afraid it's a sign we 're focusing " that's all,       
  I just  heard   that way  just because
I do not get stripped that I
got that far .
Hymns were  sung .   The song is very mellow and very touching hearts . I tried to surrender myself
and  tried to focus
to follow the praise while singing nuns .
 I closed my eyes for a moment , and a few seconds   
  later when my eyes closed seems a lot of
light or a beam of light fibers greenish- blue
color  that form a circle on my closed eyelids ,,
and instantly I was crying   uncontrollably
without     any cause , and all of a sudden my body was cold and shivering .  
I still cried a lot, for some     reason all of a sudden     I could feel the presence of Jesus himself, because when I cried     I  could only say the words " Jesus , forgive me , forgive me Jesus ,,
so continued as I  continued to cry .
 Immediately I realized that I had been called by Jesus who is present
at    the time. My body was shaking, my heart pounding all.
And at that moment I felt sorry for my sins.
In my heart I was also afraid of why this is the case,
because my body was shaking and stiff
and unusually cold . I have never experienced anything
like that in my entirelife .
I'm afraidremarkable because during the song of praise was sung ,   my body
kept shaking , and when I 've felt
no longer hold back pain because my body kept shaking,
hymns and even thengradually completed.
My body was trembling already startedto disappear,
but all that remains is the cold, sweating and weakness in my
body . After that the nurse said " Thank toJesus , thank to Jesus,,, for today many people   have been called by the Holy Spirit ,, not everyone can accept the gift , only with humility"    then the nuns allow anyone to say anything
to him ,, i soon realized that I should
thank        Jesus ,, finally I also say "thank you Jesus you love me " . We all kissed the floor to worship Jesus .
  After that night I could not sleep at all , because it is still shocked at the same time was pleased with the events that I experienced . Frankly spiritually , this is the first time I experienced a spiritual event that I can physically feel . At that time I was totally helpless by the mighty  power of the Holy Spirit , the Supreme Court, just looks like that I was going to die.

I remembered very clear what happened that night,
I could feel Jesus very very gentleee,,,He is very gentlee againts mee ,,
He shows me that He really really really
Love me and His heart was so hurt 
because of my sins, thats why I cried a lot,,, alot..a lot very sorry
and regreatful because I've been hurting His heart for very deeply soo long.
I was feeling just  so the next morning when the prayerof Jesus , I feel sleepy.
Another amazing experience
was when attended "Jesus Prayer"  in the morning,
after that night , it still feels effect the next day .
When I set the adoration chapel at night , I feel that there is
a       force whether it  be from the altar or from elsewhere
in the chapel that there was a force     where my legs was not strong enough and shaken / trembling to stand up.
I just wanted to   fall headfirst on thechapel.
As if there were told that I was inappropriate and too
small to be in the chapel.
Until I think of the heart " Oh my God if I do not
deserve to be in this chapel I want to go outside the chapel " . I stillfeel scared , shaking and trembling as well as there
are seven words of Jesusworship , I sat with my friend sitting in the second row from the front closeto the altar . While a few moments to sit cross-legged , I feel that my head so heavy , my neck stiff , bent all the way down , not daring to look at the altar at all, and the trepidation that is not usual. Whether it's what I feel might be a figure or angels around the altar . I can only guess at heart. Turns out it was a figure of Jesus himself who is present at the altar . I can not see it, but it turns out I could feel it . And I believe when it was new a few days ago        I accidentally heard testimony about the same thing, there is a mother who came to the church in Malang Ijen with her friend on one occasion .
 And the mother was feeling stiff neck and head heavy once ,
the same way I felt , and her friend could see that Jesus was near them, saidfriend 's mother, the mother should realized and should be aware of all her sins.
After passing through several sessions , there are times I can share with other participants . 
When I told what happened to me  to one of the participants
of the retreat , my friend immediately said "Oh  that    
the Holy Spirit , beside the gift of tongues addition there is also a gift of tears and so on  of the  other gifts
of the Holy Spirit " And at the time of consultation sessions with Romo or Pastor,
Romo said that the experience of each person with God is different, It is the
Holy Spirit , when He attended, my body shaking because it clashed with the Blessed Holy Spirit ,while my body is full of sin and full of evil things.
The point I am very grateful , amazed at all the omnipotence and 
mercy of God the Father , because before I did not think that I would be touched by the               adoration of God , and during the retreat , my heart was
calm     and resigned .
 All Praises and gratitudes for     Jesus who has been pleased to greet me ,
assuring me     that He is truly presentin my life.
Although I have greatly sinned I was loved
by Jesus and  Jesus deign to touch me to repent .
I have   been warned not to sin again.
I am very           grateful that
untold could feel God's grace in my life      through His Son Jesus Christ .  
I am currently trying to become a new person because I have cleansed back in the Lord Jesus
Christ is the Helper , Savior, and I endeavor to always please Him ,
love , obey all commands.
Because I do not want to hurt the Sacred Heart of Jesus
for the second time . 

And at this moment  I feel like people who are inlove .
 I fell in love with the Lord on my own . I fell in love with Jesus.
 I promise to always be faithful and try to love Jesus with all of my heart,
my spirit , and my soul , and whatever is in me . Amen
