The Power of Truly Getting to Know God
I grew up in a Christian family.
Sunday school was part of my life for as long as I can remember.
I always believed in Jesus—that He died for me, that He loves me—and I thought I knew Him. Sure, I had my ups and downs, but I felt confident that my foundation in Him was solid.
But then I came to my Discipleship Training School (DTS)…
And something shifted.
Head Knowledge vs. Heart Encounter
In the first few weeks, I was confronted with a reality I didn’t expect:
I didn’t truly know Jesus.
I knew a lot about Him—but my heart hadn’t really experienced His love, His freedom, or His kindness.
Looking back, my relationship with God was mostly a reflection of the people around me—based on their faith, their passion, their encounters. Not my own.
But little by little, that started to change.
From Information to Transformation
As I spent time alone with God—not just learning about Him, but actually being with Him—something began to happen.
The truths I had carried in my head started to sink into my heart.
I began to feel a joy and purpose I couldn’t explain.
It wasn’t hype. It wasn’t emotion.
It was Jesus, meeting me exactly where I was.
-
He picked me up.
-
He covered me in love.
-
He gave me direction and reminded me who I really am.
Real Encounters Change Everything
When you encounter even a glimpse of who God truly is—His love, His mercy, His goodness—it doesn’t fade.
It moves you. It changes you.
Not because of guilt or pressure or obligation, but because of a deep conviction:
“This is real. This is what I was made for.”
I remember asking an old classmate for forgiveness—for something I said five years ago.
I remember wanting to share about Jesus—not because someone told me to, but because I finally understood His love for the lost.
I remember repenting, forgiving, and being set free from things I didn’t even realize were holding me.
All of that… simply because I started to truly know God.
This Is What DTS Is About
That’s what the lecture phase of DTS in Kuala Lumpur is all about:
Getting to know God deeply—
And letting His grace transform you from the inside out.
