The Pivot
Sara, Nov 12, 2025
Shortly after our last mission trip to China, the Lord showed me the word “Pivot” again. This trip was fraught with challenges but I love a good challenge. It usually means being bent and broken again, and after that, breakthrough and growth.
After the trip, I took time to rest, observe and wait upon the Lord. It turned out to be an interesting pivot, different from what I had thought.
About PC
One of our Caretakers, PC, came to receive Christ as her Savior only three years ago when she joined us on our retreat in Pai, Thailand after retiring from her job as a Financial Controller. The Holy Spirit touched this strong and very, very quiet lady then with just one song that made her tear up involuntarily.
She started seeing signs and visions and hearing the Voice of God for herself. Tentative but curious, she is confident and excited about what she sees and hears, but is conflicted and frustrated at the same time when others do not respond to the revelations from God.
The Lord asked me to take time to hone this raw diamond - to gird her with foundational biblical truths, to learn how to carry the weight of these divine gifts, and most importantly, to “yada” God (know Him intimately); that the love of His gifts must never outrank the love for Him and His love for mankind. Then, she may grow from serving God not merely with her professionalism and strong work ethics, but with what the Bible says is the greatest of all - LOVE (1 Corinthians 13:13).
First Plunge into the Deep
I tasked her to seek the word God has for next year, for 2026, as it is my custom towards the end of each year.
Using her mastery of ChatGPT, she started sending me heaps of interpretations of the visions and imagery of what God has shown her.
I get it - THIS IS THE PIVOT– how PC processes what she sees and hears with her digital and natural skills - with well-crafted questions posed to ChatGPT, which she uses in her part-time work and for her personal investments.
Lesson No. 1: Less is More
It was overwhelming at first. There were many gems in what she gleaned that excited me but they were also filled with repetitions and inaccuracies that weighed me down. My head went spinning in the evening after my first attempt to read them and after the second day, I had difficulty breathing when I went to bed.
Early in the morning, I asked V again, what is wrong?
V: the amount of information produced via ChatGPT is too much. Apply the 80/20 principle. Less is more.
Ah, I get it. I know exactly what to do.
The next day, I texted PC to ask the Holy Spirit to help her eliminate the 16 pages of one report by 80%. I will continue to work on tidying the rest which I have already cut down. And after that, we will review them and wait on the Lord for His rhema word in the remaining 20% - like a refining process.
So, here they are - in the next few posts, PC’s first contributions to the Journal Section here, trimmed 80% and lightly edited for flow and accuracy, but mostly inspired by what God has shown her, processed with the help but not the dominance of ChatGPT ☺.
