Bible Reading 2016 - Deep Scrub

We are nearing the end of the Gospel of John now and as we enter into the final day of the Bible Reading I had completely forgotten the significance and the severity of the continuous reading of the Word of Elohim day and night. Not to be mistaken but I have thoroughly enjoyed myself in this Bible Reading but it came at a cost that I am all too familiar with. Last year, as I joined the Bible Reading in Glory Place Mantin certain events took place in which my true character manifested itself and thus I was cleansed. An event that I am not too fond to recall actually but it was to my advantage because in that Bible Reading I was delivered from said manifestation and that made it worthwhile. The same thing is happening here to me in GPPJ.

Not the same issue but rather different issues altogether are surfacing up and manifesting itself in the midst of the people. Although it is quite subtle (I say subtle but I'm not sure whether the people around me noticed when I was acting a little off my rocker...), there is nonetheless a clear revealing of my innermost being here in the Bible Reading. Not to say that I don't enjoy that because I know that when all these issues manifest itself, they clear off in the presence of Yeshua Messiah and the continuous reading of His Word; but I don't really enjoy going through it per se. Hebrews 12:11 perfectly encompasses what I feel concerning all of this.

[Heb 12:11] Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby.

So it is good that all these issues come out especially during the Bible Reading but then again it is another blow to me to see that I still have much unresolved messes in my life. However at the same time it is comforting and humbling for me to see my faults because it causes my eyes to turn to Yeshua. Who else can cleanse me of all these with His blood? Who else can remove my imperfections and perfect me in Himself? Yeshua alone and through my faults it causes me to cleave all the more to Him and it makes me confront the constant need for the Saviour in my life.

There is an unimaginable power in proclaiming the Word of Elohim over ourselves, our families, churches, and nations. But there is an even greater outpouring of the power when it is declared day and night nonstop. One of the things that I have had the privilege of experiencing over the course of the two Bible Readings I have joined is the setting free of different yokes and burdens over me. Of course that means that said burdens must be exposed first before it can be ousted but in the end the latter end is definitely worth going through it. No one likes it when someone points out their faults, no one likes it further when they realise that they are right. Much more me but I know that it is to my advantage.

Overall, I am enjoying myself here in this Bible Reading. It came at a price to my hurt no doubt but as the Word says:

[Pro 20:30] The blueness of a wound cleanseth away evil: so do stripes the inward parts of the belly.

And indeed it does. What a way to close the year and I'm glad that it ended in such a way. I'd rather go into 2017 with no face but completely set free rather than to have my reputation intact and my bondages secured fastly onto me. Praise Yahweh for making me know my faults and thus relieving me off them.

Bible Reading Day 1 - R&R

This is the second year that I have attended Bible Reading and it's beginning to grow on me. Last year, I was involved with the Bible reading going on in Glory Place Mantin but this year I am in Glory Place Petaling Jaya for the Bible reading. At first I had wanted to stay in Glory Place partly for two significant reasons: Firstly, the place grew on me. Last year I was on the midnight watch together with Joshua until sunrise every day and I really enjoyed that time. Everyone was asleep save a few alert ones and some crickets who were watching and reading with us throughout each night. It was quiet and serene, utterly tranquil and I really enjoyed the time where no one talked and just focused on reading the Word of Elohim forth. So it was for this same reason that I had my reservations concerning coming down to GPPJ instead of remaining at GP Mantin for this year's Bible Reading. The second reason did not really cultivate itself until this year when I realised something, something which cannot be mentioned at this particular moment in time. Who knows, Elohim willing He will be gracious to me and with my own eyes I will see the fulfillment of this particular. I hope in Yeshua, there's no one to hope in otherwise.

But the more I pondered as to why I ought to come down to GPPJ this year I realised that this is the right call in the end. In the end, what I desire may not always be right but what Yahweh has preordained for me though it may seem to my hurt is for my joy and peace in the end as it always have been and should be. This year, with the arrival of many different people with the intention of serving Yahweh at Glory Place Mantin the place had become lively. Not to say that there are no longer times of quietude in GP left but now in its current state I can enjoy the silence only in the wee hours of the morning alone. And that is only for a few hours. As I ponder back I found myself enjoying a different kind of quietude that can only be found here in Glory Place PJ. Here, it is still as still can be in the city. Even if the house of prayer is situated quite near the highway and yet once the clock strikes midnight, everything comes to a close and such a stillness sets in. Glory Place Mantin also has moments like this but I found that with different areas holds different anointings for different times and seasons and in this season it is right that I should be here at GPPJ for the Bible Reading.

This is also the place that I could just put some distance between what I desire and what I ought to be doing instead. I found that in GP Mantin I might have been caught up in recent matters so much so that I might have deterred from my walk with Yeshua Messiah for a time. These sort of things ought not to be so and with that in my mind it is good for me to come here to refocus myself and to just once again enter the rest of Yahweh here in this place. And even in the first day of the Bible Reading I found myself to be quite enjoying the silence prevalent in this place and that I could just gather myself together and abandon myself to the awesome working of the Holy Spirit in my life. What I desire can be waited upon in just upon Yahweh first. Everything becomes beautiful in their due seasons.

I cannot begin to describe just how relaxed and rested I feel right now. It is just so relaxed here spending time reading the Word of Elohim together with family and friends. One thing I have felt was that here there is such a natural connection with one another as we read the Bible nonstop. We know each other and we came for the same purpose: to see the Word of Elohim declared forth in the air to the principalities and powers. Perhaps that's why there's such a unity and oneness in this place among the people. We don't chitchat much with each other and perhaps that's why I'm enjoying it so much really. We just focus on receiving, resting, and reading; all in and through Yeshua by the Spirit. If it is like this for everyday then I wouldn't mind coming back here every year just to find time alone with Yahweh and not to be around friends, that is to say to occupy my time with Elohim in silence rather than to yak it up with friends. There's times when fellowship is good but for me, silence is better. I value the silence of the people around more than what they say with their mouths. Let their lives speak and not their lips, it shall be their testimony.

I am thoroughly enjoying myself right now and as I come to the end of my night watch and pass it on to the next, I find myself happy. Not that I'm smiling as I write this, much; but that there's such a satisfaction welling up from within me that encompasses me round about. I am satisfied and I am happy. A new day is here and with it it brings much more blessings and more that that what I desire the most: serenity. What a beautiful word with a beautiful meaning.

2016 and more - Much, much more

This is the last week of everything in the year of 2016. The last Sunday had past and now the last Monday of 2016 is already passing away. I am truly in awe at what Yahweh has wrought forth in and through me in this past year and now as we loom on the horizon of the new year I look back and truly I see the goodness of Yahweh upon my life. Honestly, of all the things that had occurred in this year I can't really recall most of it, only some of the ones that had the most significance and either were just recent. Weeks back, months back I don't really have a clue what happened. But this in itself is a blessing. I remember that I had once prayed to Elohim that inasmuch as all the good that He had wrought for me, the past is still past. I had no intention and desire to remember former things as the Bible had commanded because in Yeshua Messiah everyday and every moment is a new thing with and in Him. So I prayed that He would give me the gift to forget what has transpired and leave no recollection of it, whether they be good and bad memories I want neither. All I want is to look towards those things which are ahead and to look upwards. And by the grace of Elohim He answered my prayers.

Looking back in 2016, this year so much took place but in the end the real blessing was that I have known Yeshua and assuredly He knows me. Of all the gifts and blessings that I have received from Him this year, the greatest I suppose would be that I grew in not just the knowledge but the intimacy with Yeshua by the Holy Spirit. Above all, that is what is most important. Not the gifts to move in signs and wonders, the gifts of discerning of spirits, the gifts of wisdom and understanding of times; above all, the greatest of all is love and to know and love Him who first loved us. I am blessed, so very blessed. Sometimes we tend to focus so much on our problems and stumblings in our walk with Elohim to our own hurt but He has graciously directed my gaze and turned my eyes to look at Yeshua. In Him is perfection and as I continue to focus on Him I know and am being perfected. We have been cleansed and set free and sanctified of so much and yet we still desire even more cleansing to occur in our lives. Why do we not desire to be perfected? Inasmuch as it is the command of our Lord Yeshua Himself that we be perfect just as the Heavenly Father is perfect?

[Mat 5:48] Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.

We settle so much for good when we should also accept the perfect gifts of Elohim which come from Him from above as well. Good is only second best to perfect and thus He has taught me to desire even more than what we ought to receive. He has taught me that because of Yeshua I can ask above what I ought to receive and I shall have it simply because of Yeshua Who lives in me that gives me complete entrance into the Holiest of All to see the Heavenly Father. I ask, I believe no matter what I may ask even if it seems impossible, I will receive it. And I have received so much because of that.

[Jas 1:17] Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.

This year He taught me to claim what is rightfully mine, everything. Anything that I ask in the name of Yeshua Messiah He said He will make good of His promise to give and He has fulfilled His Word.

[Num 23:19] Elohim is not a man, that He should lie; neither the son of man, that He should repent: hath He said, and shall He not do it? or hath He spoken, and shall He not make it good?

So He has given me plenty to rejoice over, not only to rejoice in the hope that I shall receive what I ask but to rejoice because He has given me the desires of my heart. That is two entirely different rejoicings altogether. We rejoice in what we have not yet receive but there is a fuller measure of joy and glory when we rejoice over what we have already been given.

[1Co 4:7-8] For who maketh thee to differ from another? and what hast thou that thou didst not receive? now if thou didst receive it, why dost thou glory, as if thou hadst not received it? Now ye are full, now ye are rich, ye have reigned as kings without us: and I wished indeed ye did reign, that we also might reign with you.

There is so much to give thanks for this year of 2016 but one of the highlights should be the time when Yahweh had given me the opportunity to visit His Holy Land. The city of the great King, Jerusalem. I remember that before I went I had purposed in my heart to receive not just a general breakthrough but one that would completely change my walk with Elohim forever. I went thus with the heart to meet with the great King of the city rather than to see the city in itself though it be beautiful. And I did and I was so blessed because of it. I found that it was in that trip that the eyes and ears were opened and that now by His grace and the leading of His Holy Spirit I can see and hear things differently and to be able to discern in a greater scope than before. Discernment was something that I was zealously after before because I knew that without it I will just be taking in everything everyone says to my own hurt and disadvantage. Without the gift of discernment I will just be a fool and a blind man who does not know the way the Spirit is leading and directing us individually and corporately as the body of Messiah. I would just flow and if I just keep flowing with everything I would one day find myself being crushed to powder by the Rock on Whom I stand. So it was in Israel that the Holy Spirit gave me a full on course of discerning what is from Him, what is from the enemy, and what is from ourselves. Though it caused much offenses to say the least, it gave me the greatest joy to see and know for myself that my walk with Yeshua is actually going somewhere and not in circles.

So many things have transpired in this year, some are just so glorious and some I don't think I would be able to say. But nonetheless each and every circumstance that has happened has happened only for the glorying in the name of Yeshua and that I may learn from Him through said situations. The prayer ministry of Glory Place is most certainly taking a new turn because of the institution of the harps and we are seeing and experiencing life on earth as it is in heaven. The people are being drawn in and it is to the praise of the glory of Yeshua's name that everything that has happened did happened. Inasmuch as 2016 was glorious, the next year shall be even more so. In fact I believe that what we will experience next year will be so much that everything that has gone by in this year will just be forgotten due to the glory awaiting us in the year to come.

There is much, much more that I should write but right now the Bible Reading marathon is underway. I've had best concentrate. Praise Yahweh!

Good War

This is the season for war. And war is exactly what is coming our way. Though it may not be a physical fight, it is indeed a spiritual war that holds physical repercussions. Ever since the Young People's Camp began and even until now I have been experiencing nonstop warfare. It doesn't help that it intensifies almost everyday but what truly helps is the presence and the Word of Yahweh that brings life with Him. I am privileged that not only had I the opportunity to share my take on spiritual warfare during the camp but even now to experience it firsthand. I count myself even more privileged to know such a ministry as this: to be able to minister to Yahweh all day and night really keeps me up and sustains me through it all. If I were in the world and such a warfare comes, then where will I be left in its wake? Or even by the grace of Elohim I have been enlightened of this revelation beforehand, where can I turn to for my relief and shelter in my times of need? Elohim is not the Elohim of chance, but the Elohim of preordained destiny. I thank Yeshua that by His mercy and grace on my life that I have been brought to this very moment in time to experience this. Truly, there is no other place I'd rather be.

The bigger the breakthrough, the bigger the warfare and vice versa. I believe that now is the time when not just the new generation arising to serve Yahweh here in Glory Place will experience their breakthrough but also for those serving years already. The time for their long awaited breakthrough is on the horizon. But of course it does not come without cost to our own hurt. Every breakthrough requires a breaking of oneself, we need to come to a point in our waging the good warfare where we see that all that we are is nothing apart from Yeshua.

[Psa 16:2] O my soul, thou hast said unto יהוה, Thou art יהוה: my virtue is not without Thee;

The time must and will come that in every warfare we come to an end of our plans: what we think, how we do, what we say, all of it will just fall away and what will be made light is the life of Yeshua. There can be no life without first dying.

[2Co 4:10] Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Master Yeshua, that the life also of Yeshua might be made manifest in our body.

I am so amazed that the Bible just becomes more and more alive to me the longer I study and digest it. It becomes literal food to me. Sometimes there will be days I can just keep feasting on the Word always hungering for more, and yet there are days where even a simple passage is enough to satiate me the entire day. If I should try for more I would risk the feeling of nausea when one eats a bit too much than he ought to. It really is amazing to be able to experience such things just like what the Word of Elohim says. In this season I found myself drawn towards the book of the Kings and Chronicles. The thought really dawned on me that since we are made kings and priests unto our Elohim by the Lord Yeshua why do we not study the history and the lives of the kings? After all:

[2Ti 3:16-17] All scripture is given by inspiration of יהוה, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of יהוה may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.

Why not study how they waged war on their enemies? True, theirs was flesh and blood but now we as the New Testament believes face the forces directing the flesh and blood: spiritual enemies. And through much searching and understanding graciously given by the Holy Spirit I found much revelation in the art of spiritual warfare. The way to overcome the enemy is by faith in Elohim and by prayer and worship. On this particular aspect of worship I will be emphasizing more.

The way the kings of old overcame their physical enemies were through warfare but much more through their worship unto Elohim. As they lifted up their eyes and voices and cried out to Yahweh He answered them and intervened in the battle. Victory through Elohim alone.

[2Ch 13:14-15] And when Judah looked back, behold, the battle was before and behind: and they cried unto יהוה, and the priests sounded with the trumpets. Then the men of Judah gave a shout: and as the men of Judah shouted, it came to pass, that Elohim smote Jeroboam and all Israel before Abijah and Judah.

[2Ch 14:11-12] And Asa cried unto יהוה his Elohim, and said, יהוה, it is nothing with Thee to help, whether with many, or with them that have no power: help us, O יהוה our Elohim; for we rest on Thee, and in thy name we go against this multitude. O יהוה, Thou art our Elohim; let not man prevail against Thee. So יהוה smote the Ethiopians before Asa and before Judah; and the Ethiopians fled.

[2Ch 20:21-22] And when he had consulted with the people, he appointed singers unto יהוה, and that should praise the beauty of holiness, as they went out before the army, and to say, Praise יהוה; for His mercy endureth for ever. And when they began to sing and to praise, יהוה set ambushments against the children of Ammon, Moab, and mount Seir, which were come against Judah; and they were smitten.

Abijah, Asa, Jehoshaphat, among others not limited to just the book of the Kings were among those whose victory was just shouting and calling upon the name of Yahweh through worship. The key to victory in the time of waging warfare is to worship continually because in worship Yahweh takes over and wages war on our behalf. In fact, His method of warfare is by the word of His mouth and by the worship of His people.

[Isa 30:32] And in every place where the grounded staff shall pass, which יהוה shall lay upon him, it shall be with timbrels and harps: and in battles of shaking will He fight with it.

[Psa 149:6] Let the high praises of Elohim be in their mouth, and a twoedged sword in their hand;

When we worship we exalt Yeshua and when Yeshua is lifted high He will draw all men unto Himself. When He is exalted in our lives then the darkness must flee away simply because the light has come and there is no more place for the darkness in our lives.

[Joh 1:4-5] In Him was life; and the life was the light of men. And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.

The key to the defeat of the enemy's schemes against us is simply to always be looking unto Yeshua and to just keep on worshipping Him. Such worship won't come just like that in our times of trouble but must be cultivated daily just like how a prayerful life is cultivated: daily. Take a look at Daniel, when he heard the decree that no petition should be made to any god save the king himself he went back to his room, opened the window and prayed three times as was his usual custom. In times of adversity, it is what has been drilled into us daily that will see us through. Daniel's life was one full of prayer.

[Dan 6:10] Now when Daniel knew that the writing was signed, he went into his house; and his windows being open in his chamber toward Jerusalem, he kneeled upon his knees three times a day, and prayed, and gave thanks before his Elohim, as he did aforetime.

Job also was a man of constant communion and worship. He regularly sanctified his children through the daily sacrifices and offerings unto Yahweh. Such a daily thing was inbred into him so much so that when his hour to be tested had come, he could still worship Yahweh even for all the adversities he was going through.

[Job 1:5] And it was so, when the days of their feasting were gone about, that Job sent and sanctified them, and rose up early in the morning, and offered burnt offerings according to the number of them all: for Job said, It may be that my sons have sinned and cursed Elohim in their hearts. Thus did Job continually.

[Job 1:20-21] Then Job arose, and rent his mantle, and shaved his head, and fell down upon the ground, and worshipped, And said, Naked came I out of my mother's womb, and naked shall I return thither: יהוה gave, and יהוה hath taken away; blessed be the name of יהוה.

Actually this can go on and on and on. But what I want to emphasize is that the key to overcoming is first the cultivation of taking pleasure in worship and prayer. If it becomes a chore, then we will find less pleasure in entering warfare. On a personal experience, I find it my great privilege to be able to go through warfare and oppression because I know that it will reap for me great rewards and benefits to the furtherance of my walk with Messiah. I take pleasure in the blessings of Elohim but I find greater pleasure in entering troubles in my life because I see a greater breakthrough there. After all a breakthrough only comes if there is actually something to break through, if you can understand my quip.

Young People's Camp: Sharpening

The Young People's Camp 'On Earth As It Is In Heaven' has just ended this afternoon and it was most certainly an intriguing camp for me to say the least. Of all the camps that I had already attended, this particular camp was quite the oddity. I don't know how to explain it but to me it was as though the reality of the warfare that we Christians face everyday became such a reality to me. Originally, I had wanted to just enjoy myself in this camp and yet I found myself entering a battle zone against the workings of the enemy not only coming against me but against the other young peoples as well. Both long time serving young people and new faces alike were not exempted from partaking of this battle whether they realized it or not. To me, this was the camp to sharpen the gift of discernment that Yahweh had graciously blessed me with through the Holy Spirit. This camp was the camp where I had the privilege to go through with a different perspective than I once did not have in previous camps. I went to battle.

There were many sorts of young people that come for this camp but this is a first for me that so many of them had unresolved issues and rebellious problems in their families. Many of them were so young and yet they were involved with so many vices. But the breakthrough was massive and impacting on each of them, so much so that they desire to give up their worldly pursuits to serve Elohim. Of course when the breakthrough was incredible, it had to be hard fought. Day after day Pastor Jean talked nonstop about spiritual warfare and the spiritual state of the young people. Day after day deliverance and repentance was taking place to oust the enemy and to be infilled with the Holy Spirit. Praise Yahweh that so many breakthroughs had occurred in the lives of the young people and that many of them were set free and that indeed is something to rejoice over in Messiah for His goodness towards His people. However, I saw a different war being waged amongst the staff and helpers of this ministry.

For those who are new to this ministry, the enemy was blatant and evident in their works but for each and everyone serving here the enemy was extremely subtle. I cannot even begin to describe just how subtle they were but unless someone was paying close attention then you wouldn't even notice them. I see in the majority of the staff and helpers: a desire for a breakthrough which they should have had a long while ago but now are only pursuing it. For me all of this began in Israel and most certainly vestiges of it still remain and it is surprising just what we took back with us from there. I haven't written it down yet but I believe that now is the time. It was in Jerusalem that I had received a breakthrough in the leading by the Spirit in my life. My eyes were opened and my ears made attentive to what the Spirit is saying to the church. Although there are times where I get it wrong, it is in times like these that I see Yahweh is refining the gift of discernment in me. What I say comes to pass, whether a proclamation, a passing remark, or even just a thought in the heart they all come to pass one way or another. Such authority I had not realised was in my mouth and I praise Yeshua for opening it to me.

In Jerusalem I was quite saddened by the fact that our team, although there was such wondrous testimonies from them did not fully receive what Yahweh had in store for them there. For many of us who were going there for the first time, it could be said that there should be some leeway but no such thing can be said for sons of Elohim. After the first harp worship session, we became really lax. So relaxed that we enjoyed our stay there instead of being on guard against the workings of the enemy even there. There was massive breakthrough there for each and every young people because I myself received of it but it really bums me that not many caught that breakthrough. In the city of the great King, we took joy in the city rather than the great King. Instead of visiting the King of the city, we just went around His city. No wonder there was no breakthrough and in this Young People's Camp I see that that came back to haunt them.

This Young People's Camp I see that our young people desire such a breakthrough and yet I can't help but feel that the breakthrough which they are now seeking should have been theirs months ago. I see a laxness in our watching against the enemy. All it takes is just a little fox to spoil the entire grapevine. I remember that in the first few days of the camp that there were three times that the people all danced, holding hands and going around in a circle. Jewish tradition. And one time where they performed a victory dance learnt from Jerusalem by the Africans. I have been told by so many people that it is of the Spirit, we ought not to judge and that I have become so hard hearted. But I must call it as it is, there was nothing of Elohim in there. All I see is flesh and emotion, nothing but a spur of the moment thing. I wasn't offended when I was called such a critic. But I however was saddened that our people could not tell what was blatantly screaming out 'flesh' when it was right under their noses. Sometimes we really do get caught up, but not in the Spirit. To me, it felt as though all the warfare that we waged against the enemy, all the ground we took from them was nullified with just that African dance. Seriously though. Because of that I was really oppressed in my mind and had no peace whatsoever for a while. But soon after as I just entered the sanctuary a bit earlier than usual, I heard David Huan worshipping on the harp Matthew 16:19:

[Mat 16:19] And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.

That set me free. I had peace once again and I laid hold of the words in the verse. I bound the works of the flesh and just loosed the awesome presence of Elohim for the upcoming night session in a few minutes' time. Even though they had that dance again, what I saw soon after was astounding. As soon as the excitement and energy died down, as soon as the young people could not open their mouths to worship there came such an awesome presence of the Holy Spirit that came down on us. Those who could still worship on I felt broke through and had what they came for but even for those who could not worship they were soon recharged up and this time by the power of Elohim and not of themselves. There was a banner march and it was awesome. Pastor Jean said it was awesome and it truly was awesome. At first I did not understand how or why it could be so awesome but then I realised that this is what Pastor meant by a heavenly dance instead of an earthly one. What's more on the last day of the camp Yahweh just gave me the word that a banner march is indeed awesome and Biblical as well.

[Son 6:4] Thou art beautiful, O my love, as Tirzah, comely as Jerusalem, awesome as an army with banners.

Mind blowing really. That despite of what people say and think of me I am glad that I have received the correction of my discernment and that Yeshua continues to sharpen this gift in me. Long ago, I had asked of Yeshua for many things but what I really desired are four essentials: Discernment, Life, Rest, and Authority in Speech. And I am glad that Yahweh grants the desire of my heart in the Lord Yeshua Messiah by the Holy Spirit.

Overall, this camp for me was needed to continue honing what Yahweh had given me and to continue on in the way which He called me to walk, in the Spirit. Not to boast or anything like that but just to glorify the name of Yeshua because He is worthy to be praised. All that He had wrought in my life is slowly bearing fruition and I know that all I have to do is to just surrender and obey to the leading of His Holy Spirit working in me. As we draw to a close of 2016, 2017 looks unpredictable and yet I know it shall all work out for my favour in the end simply because I have the Hope of glory living in me. This truly is the acceptable year of Yahweh.

Fasting and Breakthrough

This will probably be my last post for a while because the Young People's Camp is once again on the horizon and it brings a myriad of expectations with it. The theme is 'On Earth As It Is In Heaven' and so I have a feeling that we will be learning just what it means to live a life of Heaven while on earth. This is exciting.

I will hopefully keep this short because I would like to sleep soon. I have quite the day planned out Elohim willing and it requires a bit of down time just to rest in Him. We have just completed our monthly 3 days corporate fast and pray and for me there was breakthrough as usual. In fact, I find it quite peculiar that we don't experience breakthrough day after day. The life we live here should mirror that of Yeshua's in heaven and surely it is a life walking in constant victory against sin and opposition. To even remain stagnant for a day would mean that somewhere along the line the enemy have accomplished what they had set out to do on that day to hinder our growth in Yahweh. Anyways, this particular fast was hard on me because I realize that the breakthrough I would receive would not just be for me but for the corporate body of Messiah as well. Not to mention we fast for the breakthrough of the young peoples attending said camp. The second day was rough on me; everywhere I turned I saw temptation. Tired and weary I thought about ending it all by drinking that bottle of Pepsi I had in the fridge waiting for me. For a long time I waged this war in my mind about whether to cut short the fast or not. But praise Yahweh that He saw me through till the end. I remember making a passing remark that the blood of Yeshua was more than enough for me and He was faithful to confirm His word which I had somehow spoken. During the night session as I partook the blood of Yeshua in the symbolic form of a drink I did not drink liquid, what came to my mind was that I was partaking life.

I'm not too sure how to explain this but I felt like life just flowed into me at that moment and it wrought great effects on my body. I felt every tiredness and weariness immediately leave me, I experienced the joy of Yahweh come upon me and I found that I was deeply satisfied to the point I can continue on in the fast until the very last hour. It just goes to show that whatever we speak carries weight because as the sons of Elohim we have authority in the name of Yeshua. Whatsoever we may proclaim, it can be good or evil will surely come to pass because Yahweh has promised to confirm the words of His servants and perform the counsel of His messengers. Praise Yahweh for that. Looks like it's time now. I will see you soon, Elohim willing.

Season of Younger People

I am happy. So very happy right now because Yahweh has indeed confirmed not my words but His words which He has spoken concerning myself and others as well. This is indeed the season that the Holy Spirit had properly revealed to me and it truly is the time for the young people. I am glad for the revealing of the sons of Elohim here in this ministry and thought they are few I believe that many more shall arise out of this. Right now of all that I can observe and see, I have only found four among the young people that truly understands what it means to be sons of Elohim and not trying to be. They understand that it is not within their capabilities or understanding of the Word of Elohim even but because of the life giving Spirit, Yeshua Messiah that is in them that gives them the life of a son of Elohim. They understand that change of life can only come in and through Yeshua Messiah, both the Word of Elohim and the life giving Spirit. They just be rather than try to be and that is their greatest asset in knowing Elohim. Jeremy, Joey, Jefrin, and Danti. And I am so pleased to be able to observe their lives and see their growth in Messiah. Praise Yahweh for them but that does not mean there is no potential whatsoever in the rest of them. They have it, but only in the head knowledge department. The words have not yet taken root and have not yet been made flesh in their lives just yet. They speak what they know rather than speak from what they have experienced drawing from the Word of Elohim. Wisdom is the practical application of knowledge and the knowledge that we have we have yet to put into practice.

This is the season for the younger people. Meaning for those who are younger than me age wise. This is their time and their season that the Holy Spirit had revealed to me. Inasmuch as Yeshua has led me through all these seasons to continue to mould me, break me, humble me and to bring me out into my rich fulfillment in Himself; now is the time that He will be doing the same for the younger generation in this particular season. But where there is a greater breakthrough incoming there will be a greater opposition to the will of Elohim being accomplished by the principalities and powers. And I can clearly see that if the young people are able to overcome what the enemy will bring towards them then they shall receive much more than we all have already from Yahweh.

I believe in Haggai 2:9:

[Hag 2:9] The glory of this latter house shall be greater than of the former, saith יהוה of hosts: and in this place will I give peace, saith יהוה of hosts.

Not just that the church and the body of Messiah shall be greater in glory and manifestation of power and the kingdom of Elohim but in another regard altogether. I believe that as we are the house of Elohim and the residing place of His Spirit, that with each successive generation their glory in Yeshua Messiah shall be greater than the former generation. In other words, those younger than me have the great privilege to experience more than I have experienced. The power, the kingdom, the riches, everything in Messiah inasmuch as I have received aplenty they have the opportunity to receive double, triple, as much as they want just because of Haggai 2:9.

Therefore this season is crucial for them. From what has been revealed to me by the grace of Elohim this season encapsulates Matthew Gabriel, James, Daniel Chai, Sebastian, Darryl, Samson, Anderias, Ishak, Deon Phillip, Philo Matthew, and of course Megan. Something is coming for them and it is nothing like what they have experienced so far. The enemy comes in subtly like never before and will indeed pose to them a challenge like none before it. Relationships. Whether it be mutual friendship or even romantic, this season the enemy will come in through relationships to them. And this all won't be negative relationships in any case but rather uplifting, good ones. Ones that will build them up in the faith of the Lord Yeshua Messiah and cause them to grow and mature in Him. However it will be here that their loyalty will be tested: whether they treasure the time spent more around godly friends rather than with Elohim Himself. It is here that they will and must find out: what exactly did they come here for? For friendship? Romance? Even a company of like minded believers? Or for Yeshua? Are their hearts tuned to fellowship with godly men or with Elohim?

This is it for them. If they cannot overcome then they will be severely sidetracked for a long while in this particular season but if they can overcome than we shall see the beginnings of many Samuels, Davids, Pauls, Peters, but much more Yeshua Messiah. His life made manifest in them. And they will begin to move and flow in the Spirit and through them we shall see massive breakthroughs taking place not just limiting it to Glory Place but spreading forth to nations. And it is my privilege to be able to be given the honor to observe their journey in this by the Holy Spirit. Now is the time for me to discern and to pray and to wait and see. Now I take a backseat and see what Yahweh wants and desires to do in the lives of these young people. Surely exciting things are ahead for us all. Praise Yahweh.

Yeshua, the Focal Point

Over the course of my stay here in Glory Place Mantin I had the privilege of witnessing up close the lives of the young people and the journey each of them take in Yeshua as they continue to walk onto perfection in Him and I find that many of us have yet to understand just what it means to be children of Elohim. Only a few people I have seen that have the substance of it and not just in theory. They live out the life that Yeshua died to give unto them and that is truly a blessing to see them continue on in breakthrough after breakthrough.

Two from Semarak that I see have that life of Yeshua actively taking over time is Jeremy and Joey. Of course they are one of the longest young people to have been in this ministry and thus they have had years and years of refining and cleansing to be able to enjoy the life of the Son of Elohim and to live as sons and not as paupers. I believe that as they continue on for a bit longer soon enough the fullness that they seek for their lives will be made manifest and then they will truly begin to see what it means to live as a son of Elohim. In Semarak they are the closest in my personal perspective and in Glory Place it is none other than the man of valour himself: Jefrin.

I have had the privilege of working under and with Jefrin in many aspect as our duties require of us to perform. And through it all I see that he has the life of Yeshua in him. True that sometimes he does struggle in the fleshy matters weighing him down but he understands that it the change he desires is not of him but of Yeshua Who lives in him. As he continues on he knows and I know that it will all dissipate in the end and he will be set free. Despite his offset background I find that he truly understands what it is to be a son of Yahweh through faith. He just believes and speaks what he believes and it is done. How simple and how effective that is! I find that of all the people that blesses me, the blessings Jefrin gives and pronounces over someone is the more effective because he understands the nature of just being and not trying to be a son. I commend Jefrin, despite his faults he is a true son of Elohim and though he has ways to go just like the rest of us; he is one step ahead. He will go much further than any of us can even believe and by the grace of Elohim may what he has received be imparted to the rest of us. Yahweh knows that we really need it.

It's more than trying now, in fact it's not about trying at all. I remember yesterday's worship session together with Caleb and I just found that he was trying to worship rather than just allowing the Holy Spirit to glorify Himself through us. When we come to worship what do we bring? We most certainly do not bring ourselves because if there is anything of ourselves then Yeshua cannot be fully glorified. There will always be something of us there if we bring it into our worship. I understand that sometimes we become tired and weary because of the tasks given to us carry on throughout the day but it is in His presence that I learned the essential thing we all need. Just like how you leave your shoes at the door of the sanctuary and come in bare feet the same is that we ought to leave ourselves at the gate of the house of Yahweh and entire only and solely by and through Yeshua Messiah.

When we bring our tiredness and our weights in with us to worship I find that we also project the same weariness to others as well. Not so. What we should give is the Lord Yeshua Messiah and His life ought to flow through each and every one of us. His life makes us sons. His blood gives us legitimacy as sons to be loved and disciplined as sons and not as mere strangers. I find that the more we focus on our errors, our sins and where we fall we tend to extol it higher up. Because whatsoever a man thinketh so is he. And if we keep thinking upon our sins and where we fall short are we not in some way exalting that error in our lives and putting it on the pedestal for all to behold? It's like when you are drawn to someone. Their face, features and characteristics flood your thoughts. You desire to speak only about them and nothing else. You lift them high up in your regards to them. In another sense, you've put them on a pedestal in your life and isn't this sometimes what we tend to do with our sins? Our faults, our temptations, our strugglings; all of them cloud our thoughts daily. We tend to disclose more of the errors in our ways rather than speaking and remembering He who died to remove these errors once and for all from us. We put them on a pedestal. Seriously not so.

Yes, the need to address the sin is there and is needed sometimes but to confront them is not within ourselves because we were born into their territory. Our mortal bodies is their playground and if we think that we can rid ourselves entirely of their influences for good then it's better that we seek for an early martyrdom for the cause of the Gospel of Messiah. As long as we remain in this body and this is my belief that you need not share with, sin can never truly be removed until Yeshua returns bringing with Him true salvation to the corruption of our mortal bodies. We may be crucified, dead, and buried but until the prophetic act becomes a physical reality we will only have a foretaste of what is waiting for us when Yeshua returns: a complete doing away of sin and the sinful body. The key to overcome is simple and that is Yeshua. Speak Yeshua, think of Yeshua, love Yeshua, have your thoughts focused more on Him and what He has done rather than what you have done. Because with what you occupy your thoughts with, that you extol and as for me I want to extol the Lord Yeshua in my life. Let everything just be about Yeshua, stop caring about your sin. The more you strive against the sinful nature the more you rile it up against yourself and the easier you will fall. Have your focus shifted to Yeshua and soon enough the sins troubling you and the notions of it will and must leave in the name of Yeshua. When a runner falls on the ground he doesn't bemoan that he fell and he doesn't shed tears over it. He gets up and continues on, there's a race to finish. And we having stepped on dung do not cry about our dirtied shoes or lift up our voice in anger and outrage. We find some water and clean it off and then go about our day. Life's much more than sin, life is Yeshua and Yeshua is our life. Focus on that and you will see life manifest sooner than you hope for.

November and more - Gifts to Men

It's amazing and yet the same time mind boggling that for me it has already been over a year since I had given up my life to come and serve Yahweh here in Glory Place, Mantin in September last year. By the grace of Elohim, I have seen and heard and experienced many things. Things which I had not even dreamed nor expected to come upon me and yet they do and much more than that. It is in these times that I am reminded how true the Word of Elohim says that whatsoever Yahweh gives unto His people He adds no sorrow therewith.

[Pro 10:22] The blessing of יהוה, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it.

The blessings is not limited to earthly means though it is one of them, every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Messiah and every good and perfect gift that comes from above have I the right to partake and give in the same measure it's been given me. Yet in all this thing the Holy Spirit has shown me one thing: it's not about the gifts no matter how magnificent they are, it's about the Giver of the gifts. Every gift given is actually meant to not only bless the receiver but to also serve as a remembrance from whom he received it from. A gift is supposed to cause one's eyes whenever he enjoys the gift to look to the giver and bless him for it. Much more now our Heavenly Father who ever so desires to gift us everything pertaining to everlasting life through Messiah Yeshua.

[Eph 4:7-8] But unto every one of us is given favour according to the measure of the gift of the Messiah. Wherefore he saith, When He ascended up on high, He led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men.

All that we have and all that we enjoy and possess is from Yahweh through Yeshua unto us. Everything points to Him and needless to say our lives ought to point others to Him as well. We have the free gift of not just salvation by Yeshua but eternal life through Yeshua as well.

[Eph 2:8] For by favour are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of יהוה:

[Rom 6:23] For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of יהוה is eternal life through Yeshua the Messiah our Saviour.

It's times like these I look back as to what the Holy Spirit has brought me through and I am so grateful and amazed at the work He has wrought in my life. True, there are times when I go through a roller-coaster of a journey but everyday I hold the conviction that it is always one step forward, one step upward. No matter how tipsy the day may be it will always be another step forward and upward for me. I remember reading that Smith Wigglesworth once said that if there is no progress we have already backslided. At the beginning I had always wondered how that could be so? Not everyone could experience the life he was enjoying in Yeshua but then the Holy Spirit gave me the revelation. We can. Through Him. No matter what circumstance I may be in, no matter the issue that crops up that challenges my stand or my take on all this; it is clear that if I put my trust in Yeshua Messiah I shall never be put to shame. I shall be yet brought nearer to Him in intimacy and in likeness so that when He returns I should be like Him.

[I really should put the verses in but they are exceptionally long and a bit ancient in their English to fully grasp hold of their meanings. I'll just leave the references here instead. Praise Yahweh.]

( Ephesians 1, 3; Philippians 1, 2:13; Colossians 1, 2)

Luke 21:19

A new season of Yahweh is here once again and this time it brings development. I am happy? Am I? I'm not really sure what to call the feelings churning within me but without a shadow of doubt I know that this is none other but the working of the Holy Spirit in my life. Things are beginning to take root and now is the time more than anything else that I center my focus upon Yeshua Messiah and not on my circumstances no matter how beneficial or blessed they are. All such things are secondary and right now I believe that this is the season where a deeper intimacy with Yeshua is going to spring forth from it all.

Everything around me is developing, albeit at a pace that I did not expect it to. And soon enough the time will come where it must and will bear much fruit and then it will be a time of great joy. However now is the time to wait, I must wait. There really can be no other option simply because I have no other choice but to wait now. If I were to interfere with the flow of the Holy Spirit now I believe that things will fall apart but as I wait I see the Holy Spirit working mightily and so awesomely in my life. His hand is ever so evident and I am blessed to be able to enter into intimacy with Yeshua Messiah. Only sometimes, the issue of impatience and wanting to have our inheritance now when it has not yet reached it culmination; tend to crop up every now and then. But this is but a test. A test that I must and will pass by the grace of Elohim given unto me by the Messiah.

This season is something special. This season holds much promise and much fulfillment in it. However far-fetched it may seem to others and sometimes even to myself, I am fully convinced of the vision He has given me and I will see it to its beautiful end. I desire to lay hold of the things which Messiah Yeshua has laid hold of me. Life, superabundant life. The life not as a prodigal nor as a servant but as a son of Elohim, partakers of Yeshua's divine inheritance and every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places. Now is not the time to be impatient to see the will of Elohim accomplished, not when we have come so far. Now is the time that by patience I possess my soul, to its very end. Praise Yahweh!

Yes or No?

You know, we go for Chatime so often now that it really loses its originality to me. It feels like I want Chatime but I know what already awaits me if I were to push myself just a bit further:

[Pro 25:16] Hast thou found honey? eat so much as is sufficient for thee, lest thou be filled therewith, and vomit it.

Yahweh has blessed me with so much honey. So much so that everywhere I turn there will always be something that I can just refresh myself with just like how Jonathan stretched out his staff and was refreshed by the honey. Though ignorant of the oath made by his father King Saul, he nonetheless was refreshed and was able to continue to take up arms against the Philistines.

[1Sa 14:27] But Jonathan heard not when his father charged the people with the oath: wherefore he put forth the end of the rod that was in his hand, and dipped it in an honeycomb, and put his hand to his mouth; and his eyes were enlightened.

[1Sa 14:30] How much more, if haply the people had eaten freely to day of the spoil of their enemies which they found? for had there not been now a much greater slaughter among the Philistines?

Honey is good for the soul. I speak in figure of speech. I'm talking about the blessings that Elohim daily load is with. It is in our right as sons of Elohim that we take all that the Father has for us but it is in the mind of wisdom that we sometimes discern when to take what and where. It is needful for a son to receive what his father gives him, but it is a wise son to be able to say 'no' in the proper situations.

That is not to say that we should despise what Yeshua has blessed us with through His death on the cross. He died to bring us into the very presence of the Heavenly Father; no longer to shy away but to come boldly before Him through the blood of Messiah. He died to give us all but it is in wisdom that we realise that not all is of the will of Elohim.

[1Co 10:23] All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but all things edify not.

A long while back I had an acquaintance who asked me what exactly does it mean when Yahweh says that He gives us dark treasures of the earth. And to me it is exactly as it sounds. The treasures of this earth amount to nothing more than darkness that invites sin and temptation to enter but still Yahweh gives us such for our use. How can this be?! Every good and perfect gift comes from the Father of lights and yet He would still give us treasures of darkness together with it?

[Isa 45:3] And I will give thee the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places, that thou mayest know that I, יהוה, which call thee by thy name, am the Elohim of Israel.

In this context Elohim talks to King Cyrus and promises to give him the secret treasures of the earth which man has not known that he may know there is no power on earth that rules without Heaven's permission and authority. And yet it also applies to us I believe. He has put all things into subjection in Messiah Yeshua but now we do not see all things put under. But the fact of the matter is all things have been subdued and thus under our power as the body of Messiah. We have access to the storehouses of Heaven and the deep treasures of the earth but it is in the heart of a wise son to be able to choose and discern between holy and unholy. Not everything the Heavenly Father permits is what He desires of us. He permits all because all have been cleansed by the blood of His Son but not everything will bring us nearer into intimacy with Him.

I began with Chatime, just how did I come here. I was just trying to say that it is in our best interest that we learn to say 'no' and not just 'yes' in every situation because not everything situation demands that a 'yes' be supplied to resolve it. The blessings of Yahweh add no sorrow therewith but too much of something sweet in the body leaves one nauseated. Again not to say that we should refuse the blessings of Elohim with which He freely gives us through Yeshua Messiah but simply to know that He looks deeper than that. Just like king Hezekiah's case. The Babylonians were in all respect concerned about his welfare and thus looks like a blessing and favour of Elohim upon him. But:

[2Ch 32:31] Howbeit in the business of the ambassadors of the princes of Babylon, who sent unto him to inquire of the wonder that was done in the land, Elohim left him, to try him, that he might know all that was in his heart.

The Holy Spirit is here to teach us when to speak the right word in the right time. We need not think so much about this but rather to just remember that in our walk with Elohim, we will find that a 'no' will be sometimes sweeter than a 'yes'. Hopefully you understand dear reader.

Judgment and Discernment

Judging. Well, in some ways it is wrong but for me my conviction is that without judgment there can be no progression. Because with judgment comes correction and correction brings a straightening of direction and thus progression in our walk with Yahweh. Many oftentimes quote what Yeshua said in the Gospel of Matthew:

[Mat 7:1-3] Judge not, that ye be not judged. For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?

But oftentimes they forget when Yeshua continued to expound a bit more on judgment in the Gospel of John:

[Joh 7:24] Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.

I believe that that just sums up what Yeshua meant when He said to judge not and yet to judge righteously. There is no contradiction but rather this is what has been revealed to me by the Holy Spirit. Oftentimes we judge others on their outlook on life, their outward apparel, and not the life they live behind closed doors. The Lord Yeshua has called us to judge or if in another word to discern between good and evil, the holy and the unholy. Because another office of a king is not just to rule and reign but also to execute righteous judgment where it is due. What appears on the outside may not be what lurks on the inside. If we simply judge based on our outward guise then we would incur much errors and perhaps even sin. But to me it is a greater sin that we do not judge at all. Because then how will we know what is from Elohim and what is of the enemy if we do not exercise judgment and discernment. True, everything comes from and with the permission of Yahweh and nothing can touch us unless it is by the hand of Elohim allowing it so. But not everything that He allows is beneficial to us. Things come our way that He may test us as to whether we would walk in His ways or no.

[Deu 8:2] And thou shalt remember all the way which יהוה thy Elohim led thee these forty years in the wilderness, to humble thee, and to prove thee, to know what was in thine heart, whether thou wouldest keep His commandments, or no.

So we need righteous judgment or righteous discernment to be able to continue on with our walk with the Lord Yeshua Messiah. The conviction I hold is that in these last days we cannot progress even a step further without the working and guidance of the Holy Spirit leading us. Now I believe that without discernment there can be no progressive revelation of Messiah. For only those who are able to judge and discern righteously are liable to eat the meat found in the Bible. Milk belongs to those who have yet to exercise their senses to be able to discern between what is of Yahweh and what is not.

[Heb 5:13-14] For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe. But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.

In fact I found that in both offices that Yeshua Messiah had redeemed us into: as kings and priests both require discernment and judgment to be administered to. As kings we not only rule and reign but also execute righteous judgment where judgment is due. And as priests we have need to be able to discern between holy and unholy.

[Lev 10:10] And that ye may put difference between holy and unholy, and between unclean and clean;

[Psa 72:1-2] Give the king thy judgments, O Elohim, and thy righteousness unto the king's son. He shall judge thy people with righteousness, and thy poor with judgment.

Solomon judged righteously. In the case of the two harlots and their child if we were to go with what seemed natural then the child would belong to her who replaced her dead child with the other's. Simply because the child was in the care of the former harlot in the eyes of the people. But Solomon saw further because he had the wisdom of Yahweh upon him.
The gift of discernment was upon him and it allowed him to execute judgment righteously. How much more us now that we have in our lives and our being Someone Who is greater than Solomon in the aspect of wisdom? Yeshua Messiah is the wisdom of Elohim and the power of Elohim manifested and it would be a shame if we did not use said wisdom to be able to discern in these last times.

[Mat 12:42] The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for she came from the uttermost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon is here.

[1Co 1:24] But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, the Messiah is the power of יהוה, and the wisdom of יהוה.

Judging one another is needed. More so for me. If we keep laying on ourselves all these sweet words our pride will go unchecked. Judgment serves to correct the wrong in one's life but without judgment you allow yourself to grow as you please. Like a plant that has no support growing up will eventually reach a point in time where it can no longer bend how it ought to. For me, to not judge is to not use the Elohim given wisdom that He has blessed us with to discern between good and evil. And one day, if this keeps up; this 'no judging' debacle, we will find Yahweh taking back the wisdom He gave us with the intent we use it fully.

[Pro 1:20-33] Wisdom crieth without; she uttereth her voice in the streets: She crieth in the chief place of concourse, in the openings of the gates: in the city she uttereth her words, saying, How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? and the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge? Turn you at my reproof: behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you. Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded; But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would none of my reproof: I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh; When your fear cometh as desolation, and your destruction cometh as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish cometh upon you. Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me: For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of יהוה: They would none of my counsel: they despised all my reproof. Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices. For the turning away of the simple shall slay them, and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them. But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil.

Living Quarters

A new season of Yahweh is here yet again and we begin with quite the opener. Due to a tree looming just behind Hiding Place that looks like it might just tip over at any given moment, we have been relocated to the Boys' Dorm. All 5 of us will be moving in with Anderias, Ishak, and Daniel Chai together not in the same room, but in the same location. Perched on a smaller hill than the Hiding Place, it is much more wider and is slightly a longer journey to the sanctuary than it previously was. But there's no need for us to complain. You know, when our leaders told us that we would be leaving behind our air conditioned and well kept house on a hill for a dormitory just beside the expansive forest there were many, many feeble Hallelujahs going around. I think I was the only one genuinely excited about staying at the Boys' Dorm at that moment. But once we moved in and settled down somewhat the other boys quickly came to terms with it and began to make the most out of this whole turnabout.

That's how it ought to be. As sons of Elohim we eat what is served on our platter and leave no morsel unfinished. Even if it's bitter or somewhat under cooked we finish it because it is not only expected of us but we know that dessert will always be wonderful in the end. This is a figure of speech by the way.

[Phi 4:11] Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content.

[1Th 5:18] In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of יהוה in the Messiah Yeshua concerning you.

[Rom 8:18] For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.

Not that something as trivial as this could be counted as suffering but what I'm trying to do is to show that there's no need for us to pull a horse face. We are blessed to be able to move to the Boys' Dorm because we know that wheresoever we go we will be a blessing to those around us. We shall see the Boys' Dorm changing bit by bit, little by little and soon enough it will become yet another Hiding Place for us boys. In truth, it is much more than I had expected. I find myself liking that place. Then again I have had worse accommodations before so there really is no use to murmur or grumble. A bed, some food, a roof over our heads is more than enough to make someone like me real content. After all:

[1Ti 6:6] But reverence with contentment is great gain.

[1Ti 6:8] And having food and raiment let us be therewith content.

It's good for us to dwell together. It's even better for us to dwell together in unity. And surely with this move that is exactly what I shall see happen in the name of Yeshua. This is truly the beginning of something awesome that the Holy Spirit shall accomplish in and through all the boys. Praise Yahweh!

[Psa 133] Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity! It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, even Aaron's beard: that went down to the skirts of his garments; As the dew of Hermon, and as the dew that descended upon the mountains of Zion: for there יהוה commanded the blessing, even life for evermore.

1st Service Celebrations

I am excited. I really am. This is a new season and thus yet another hallmark in our journey with Yeshua Messiah. With each passing day we draw nearer and nearer to His soon return where those whom He has called by name and known shall be caught up together with Him in the clouds to meet. With each passing day revival becomes more and more evident within the body of Messiah and once more the sound of the harp is going forth to all the nations of the earth just as it was in the time of King David. The Tabernacle of David is being raised up but more than that now in this present era of the Holy Spirit heaven has come down to earth. And it brings the kingdom of Elohim together with it in all its splendour and majesty.

Today's first service was exceptionally exceptional. I was really edified but more so I was deeply elated to know that the Holy Spirit is working in the lives of the young people to bring them back to intimacy with Yeshua rather than to busy oneself with works meant for the Spirit and to be done by the Spirit of Elohim solely. Valerie and Caleb shared what Yahweh had been teaching and showing them and kudos to Valerie but I want to talk about Caleb in this present moment. Just thinking back to what he shared makes me grin from ear to ear. Surely what the Holy Spirit has revealed to me He too is revealing to others as well.

In Myanmar Caleb encountered Elohim and what he learned from that is that we are not meant to busy ourselves with the Heavenly Father's business and yet forgetting that good part meant for us: to sit at the feet of Yeshua and to hear and learn from Him. Intimacy by being still and just to know that He is Elohim is what Caleb was emphasizing and that was what was revealed to Him. He found that as he just stopped being busy minded about the situation and problems arising around him, then the Holy Spirit just took over and showed Caleb things he had never seen and known before. Back then he had trouble just connecting with Yahweh by the Spirit but now as he just still himself he found he was able to simply connect anywhere and everywhere he goes and whatsoever he does. He found the world speaking to him of Yeshua and he found revelation upon revelation to be heaped up to him such as he has never known before.

Hallelujah! You know as he was sharing all this I just found myself leaping for joy within my heart. I did not outright leap for joy but such a joy of Yahweh came upon me that now He has shown yet another one of my brothers that all Yahweh wants is just sons. He does not require able bodied people, musically talented stars, charismatic leaders or the like. All He wants are sons and that was what Yeshua died to bring us into. Not into fame or fortune or recognition but into sonship by faith in Him to Yahweh. Sons who just listen and obey and then will see the wondrousness of the Heavenly Father. To Caleb it was as though he had entered into a new realm that he had never known before and I am absolutely happy for him. Thinking about it now just makes me absolutely grateful to Yahweh that not only did He reveal the same to me about all this but now He is bringing His people once again to see that it is not about ministry, it's about ministering first. I am privileged to be able to witness firsthand the lives of the young people moving from glory to glory and grace to grace by the Spirit of Elohim in every first service. The night watches are my favourite and the first service is no exception. I wonder why no one wants to join? They could have been so blessed and yet...

Psalm 116:7

Life is going really well for me at this moment in time. Everything is just fitting together snuggly and I praise Yahweh that He has shown me His outstretched arm in the full course of my days in Glory Place. Everyday speaks to me in a way I had never realized before and I am amazed that the Holy Spirit had done such a marvellous work within me.

[Psa 118:23] This is יהוה's doing; it is marvellous in our eyes.

I am at peace and have found peace with the people around me and the things surrounding me. Though sometimes we may have our highs and lows, I find such a prevalent peace that comes upon me day after day assuring me that all things shall work together for good to them that love Elohim. I find that now it becomes an utmost pleasure of mine to wait upon Yahweh for many occasions. Back then I had never understood what waiting for Elohim meant and took it for granted. I had always thought it meant rest which it is but to me it meant physical rest of the body. Back then my body would find all the rest it needed but my soul was still in deep distress. But now I have found the true rest in Messiah Yeshua.

[Mat 11:28] Come unto Me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

His rest is absolutely perfect and truly by the grace of Yahweh I can experience it day in and day out. His rest encompasses me about and I find it's not just my body but my entire spirit, soul, and body enter such a restful state where I just cease from trying and just be while the Holy Spirit works unhindered. Today auntie Deborah asked us during the Friday house church what exactly does 'waiting upon Yahweh' mean to each of us? For me the first thought was always rest. Well, actually another thought came straight before that but I believe that now is not the time to reveal that yet. Perhaps the day will come soon, who knows...

I desire rest and that; by the grace of Elohim is what I have received in Yeshua by the Spirit. A perfect rest that not only refreshes me completely but resolves every situation and issue in and about and all round me. I'm not all too sure how this came to be. All I remember is that I had once asked Yeshua in His name that He give me rest all around and that I may just be free in Him to continue resting. Soon enough, as I just continued on with my walk with Elohim I found that it came; not at once but gradually I found myself slipping and sliding deeper and deeper into the presence of Elohim. All it took on my part was just to continue in the way He has shown me and that required perseverance and longsuffering. It didn't come right away but little by little and He has taught me not to strain after His presence but that I should just wait for Him because for thousands of years Elohim has waited for me to return to Him. And I found that as I relaxed in His presence the Holy Spirit came so effortlessly and there I was, lost in eternity. I could just keep raising my hands in the stillness of the night! Praise Yahweh but now it's getting a bit late. Time to turn in.

[Psa 116:7] Return unto thy rest, O my soul; for יהוה hath dealt bountifully with thee.

Liberality

It's not that I don't have time. I have time aplenty given to me by Elohim, it's only I seldom use it on meaningful excursions. Normally I'd spend most of it just resting up in the Hiding Place. It's only when there's a little bit of time longer that I then use it for other more meaningful things. Thus I let my responsibilities pile up most of the times but thankfully just one or two full hours is enough to not only clear it but to do so in such an exceptional manner.

I praise Yahweh that He has blessed me with what I had so earnestly desired: rest and liberty. I remember back in my Primary Six graduation ceremony that moment when I had received my certificate and looked at what the inscription said. For each student there is a different inscription; diligence, steadfastness, responsible, etc. But I got something that I didn't quite understood at that time: liberality. I had absolutely no clue what that meant so years later I looked it up.

Liberality - 1) The quality of not being opposed to ideas or ways of behaving that are not traditional or widely accepted.

2) The quality of being generous

How true it is now! Praise Yahweh for that. Even back then I was always the odd one out, doing things that people are not too inclined to do. I'd skipped class just to go to the library or the computer room to hangout and sleep there. I was like in my own little world back then and looking back I really thank Yahweh that He has brought me out of my world and into His. And how wonderful it is to be His son and He my Heavenly Father.

I grew up into a family that desired that I bear much fruit through much toil and for me toiling was something that I was not all that keen upon. Only if it was something I found enjoyable that I would give it my all but that was on rare occasions. But now that He has given me His rest and has set me free from my past chains and links I find that I enjoy all things, even those which require effort on my part to put out. What a joy and rest that comes upon me that it is as though I had done nothing and yet the work is accomplished. There was no strenuous activity on my part but rather a yielding to a higher Power that works in me both to will and to do for Elohim's good pleasure.

So in all points I am free, so free that sometimes my liberty puts a stumbling block onto the paths of others. But I don't really care because I've been set free. No longer do I do, I just be a son of Elohim and Yahweh is my Father. We were never called to do anything for Him but rather to just be there when He does something in and through us. He wants us to avail ourselves to His working in us and yield to it so that it may reach maturity. You can't try to be a son of your father, you just are. Whether you're good or you're bad in the eyes of the people around you, you are still your father's boy. How much more our Heavenly Father Who sees not us but His Son, Yeshua Messiah in us?

I see many people working out their salvation with fear and trembling which is a good thing but I found that the fear they exhibit is not of Elohim. Their fear brings with them torments, reminding them of their sins and condemning and accusing them for it. When Yahweh called us to fear Him I believe it is not the fear this world knows of, of horror and stark terror; but rather the sort of parental fear and respect that you'd show your parents. To fear Him not as a taskmaster but as a Father. No father oppresses his sons but a father chastises them when needed not because they deserve it even if they do but for their betterment and because he loves them. How much more our Heavenly Father? This revelation Yahweh has so graciously given me: we stand upon the Rock, Yeshua Messiah. We are safe but sometimes there is a need to check our footing lest we fall off the Rock. Waves will come to push us off but that I believe is what working out our salvation is all about. Not being fearful of whether we will make it or no, but rather just like Paul:

[2Ti 1:12b] for I know Whom I have believed, and am persuaded that He is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day.

Do we know that Yeshua Messiah is in us? Are we confident of Who we have believed in and that He is able to keep us? Have faith in Elohim but continue to check your footings.

[1Co 10:12] Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.

I see clearly the world around me talking to me, telling me of the mighty works Messiah has accomplished on the cross. Everything speaks of Yeshua to me.

[Rom 1:19-20] Because that which may be known of יהוה is manifest in them; for יהוה hath shewed it unto them. For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and supernal nature; so that they are without excuse:

[Psa 19:1] The heavens declare the glory of Elohim; and the firmament sheweth His handywork.

[Act 14:17] Nevertheless He left not himself without witness, in that He did good, and gave us rain from heaven, and fruitful seasons, filling our hearts with food and gladness.

This can keep going on and on and on but I think I might have to continue this some other occasion, Elohim willing. I'm quite tired. All I want to say is, now the world speaks to me the Word of Elohim. It speaks of the wonders Yeshua has accomplished and the blessings He died to give someone like me with. Though the world is filled with corruption it is still Yahweh's world. Just what does it speak unto you reader?

October and more - Blessedness

October has past and now we usher in November. The past month has been pivotal to me in many occasions, particularly concerning the will of Elohim pertaining to me. I found that it was in this month that Yahweh really brought everything together and wrapped it up nicely with a big ribbon. Now we enter into a new season with new things to look forward to and greater things to see through till the end. The will of Elohim concerning worship is now no longer just a purpose but a fulfillment. The Heavenly Father's heart has not just been touched but manifested through the harp worship unto the nations and now we look forward to the next part to accomplish as His sons. After all, a son does what his father tells him to do not because it is his own selfish desire but it is for the betterment of his son. What a father desires is for his son to inherit all that he has and much more. How much more so our Heavenly Father?

Things will begin to surface now I believe in this month of November. Surface within our lives, surface within our church, surface within our nation. And whatsoever that surfaces will be shaken thoroughly by Yahweh. I believe that this month we will see a preparation by Elohim Himself for His people for what is to come in the near future. It does not matter whether it is good or bad because according to the Word of Elohim all that He has for us is good. We only see good and evil simply because our first parents disobeyed and ate the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Had they instead partook of the tree of life they would have seen life manifest but now we see with our own ideas of what is good and evil. If it benefits, it's good; if it hurts even for our good, it's evil. Is not this in itself evil because we have such dishonest scales and weighs in our lives?

I truly thank Yeshua for the month of October. I am simply astounded by what has transpired in that month and even more amazing is that things would not have turned out so beautifully had I taken control of the decisions. Only Yahweh makes all things beautiful in their due seasons. And I am blessed to have His Holy Spirit living within me to teach me His ways and lead me in His way everlasting. But I know that everyday will only get better. Inasmuch as today or even yesterday was wonderful the next day will be even more glorious. Because it simply says in the Word of Elohim that the glory of the latter house shall be greater than the former. I also believe that this applies to our everyday life. I live in expectancy that what the Holy Spirit had accomplished today He will do something much more awesome the next day. I have learnt that of all the good and perfect gifts that I had received everyday, each of them will pale in comparison to what is to come in the following day. So really there's nothing for us to settle ourselves in, even though the past was good and all. What comes next will be absolutely marvellous in our eyes and this will certainly be Yahweh's doing.

[Hag 2:9] The glory of this latter house shall be greater than of the former, saith יהוה of hosts: and in this place will I give peace, saith יהוה of hosts.

[Job 8:7] Though thy beginning was small, yet thy latter end should greatly increase.

[Psa 118:23] This is יהוה's doing; it is marvellous in our eyes.

Running the Race

It's technically past the 2nd day already of fasting and prayer if you are following the hours. There's less than 20 hours left before we break fast but I'm quite amazed that once again Yahweh has brought me this far already. The previous two days flew by like a breeze but they were by no means easy. I did not prepare myself fully when partaking of this fast and so I am just bearing the brunt of it. However I thank Yahweh that in His grace and mercy He once again had brought me thus far. Having prepared myself somewhat today I was able to receive what Yahweh had in store for me and what's more what I had desired to accomplish I have done so and thus there is peace although my stomach is rumbling. Praise Yahweh that in all things even in fasting He leads me through victory in Messiah Yeshua. He caused me to walk in strength so much so that should I desire to sleep I can but I will be aware of what is still transpiring around me. This has been going on for a while now and because of it I've been accused of sleeping more than I should.

Oh well, it doesn't really matter anyways about all this. We each have our own battles to wage against the enemy so there really is no time to look at one another like this. But strangely even though we are under continuous bombardment by the enemy, satan; I am strangely free. I mean sure there are times when I myself must wage war against the mind and its wandering thoughts and passions but what I've discovered is that what we give our attention to grows all the more. I found that the more I paid attention to the faults in my carnal nature, the more it grows and becomes all the more dominating over me. But even if I have the urges and desire to stray away for a bit to fulfill my lusts and passions, I found this secret: who cares? So what if it is there? So what if I have such thoughts, I too have the authority to reject it and pull it down to the ground. It's like there is a sign at the side of the road that you see as you travel down. "Free ice cream". But you don't want ice cream so you just pass by it. That's exactly how Yahweh has revealed to me to deal with sin. It's there because as long as we are in this tent we are susceptible to the sins which is around and even in the tent. But we have no obligation to always pay attention to it, nor to obey it because now we have a new Master.

[Rom 6:17-18] But יהוה be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you. Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness.

If temptation should come and should it overwhelm, it doesn't matter. There's no need to grovel and cry about split milk. Just get up and continue your race. Because you will find no runner in no such race that when he falls down cries and bemoans his uselessness. He gets up and continues the race because he desires the prize. Likewise we as well. Just get up.

With All Haste

We have once again begun to fast and pray for 3 days. It felt like ages since we last had our corporate fast together and so I welcome it no longer as a burden but a pleasure because I see and know and have experienced the changes in one's life fasting and praying can do. It shifts the spiritual realm greatly through it, strongholds come down and the will of Elohim goes forth and is fulfilled. The transforming glory of Yahweh comes upon His people as they wait for Him and thus lives are changed; no longer serving self or the flesh but rather serving Elohim through and by the Holy Spirit given to us. With every fasting and prayer I see that we are moving step by step deeper and deeper into Yeshua Himself and thus losing ourselves more so that we may become in every way, in manner and word and works and walk of life; like Him.

In this fast as Pastor Jean has proclaimed we intend to see the principality of Asclepius torn down and destroyed once and for all and that true healing return unto the body of Messiah. We also fast because after this trip to the convocation there is this deep stirring that things will begin to change and move in such a way as never been seen or thought of before. There is this sense of needing to prepare ourselves to move quickly according to the will of Elohim because now, in my own eyes; Yahweh is bringing Romans 9:28 to pass:

[Rom 9:28] For He will finish the work, and cut it short in righteousness: because a short work will יהוה make upon the earth.

From this point on only those who will be led and are willing to be led by the Spirit no matter where He may take to whomever and whenever He may wish, will make it. The time for relying on the arm of flesh has officially passed with this and now only the sons of Elohim are called who will hear the voice of the Heavenly Father and do all that is in His will. I see the way getting narrower and narrower but that is not a bad thing. More than that it really excites me that now Yahweh's work is becoming all the more clear and evident and that the life of Yeshua is becoming even more manifest. So for me this fasting is one where I desire to leave all unto the Holy Spirit to work in me, both to will and to do for His good pleasure because now only He can do the work. What comes next will be extremely daunting for those still relying on their own strength or comprehension to see it through. This world's strength and logic must fly out the window because when Yahweh does something it defies common sense. That is a miracle. A miracle is something with which we can never wrap our heads around because it simply cannot be and yet is. And what's more we are called to live a miraculous life everyday. So everything we had learnt from this world must be discarded in favor of seeing the hand of Yahweh leading and guiding us step by step into His will and His will alone.

[Hab 1:5] Behold ye among the heathen, and regard, and wonder marvellously: for I will work a work in your days, which ye will not believe, though it be told you.

Let it be according to Your Word, o Elohim my Elohim.

One Year's Time

It's been almost a week since I had last written. And it's been almost 2 days since I had begun my journey in Yahweh on the 7th of September 2015. A year has flown by and are things continuing its brisk pace even to the coming of our Lord Yeshua Messiah. I have come far but yet there remains quite the road ahead of me. I have yet to dive into the deeper waters of Yahweh's purpose for me. What I have learned is good and all, what I have seen and done is indeed exhilarating but there are yet much more to be revealed to me. For me to experience so much in such a short span of time is indeed a blessing I count myself privileged to receive and partake of. It's one thing to receive the gift, wrappings and all; it is another thing entirely to open the box and enjoy the present inside. Praise Yeshua!

As I look at my life now there are portions of it that are blossoming into the fullness it was meant for, others are still under maintenance and pruning. Others still have yet to begin however it is not of me, thankfully. If it was me I'd never get anywhere or anything done. But this is the work of the Holy Spirit. As He Who begun the good work within me, so is He faithful to see to its completion and perfection. Revelations revealed, friendships formed, closer knitting together with Yahweh and His people, signs and wonders. All these are but mere samples to the greater more abundant things to come for me.

It truly is amazing to see the hand of Elohim upon me since day one up until this very point in time. Truly Yahweh is He Who neither sleeps nor slumbers. He Who keeps me does not slumber. And now He is working faster and more fuller in a sense. Though the road grows narrower by the day, yet it becomes all the more liberating. Shake up or shake out as they say. New faces, old faces. Everything is coming full circle and it should ever so since the Day of the Lord fast approaches. In fact, it is nearer then when we first perceived. All in all I can see that Yeshua's fullness fills all in all. Praise Yahweh for that.

Onward and upward!

Progression

Wow. It's been far too long since I had last written and how I have things to speak.

I truly praise Yahweh that in all things He is in control and that He has given me the privilege to go through them for my betterment. This seminar 'Living the Heavenly Life' was once that was filled with unexpected turns. Turns that I had long since overlooked but now return to roundhouse me. Surely I felt the kick in this seminar and that kick was truly what was called for. The main breakthrough that I had been graciously given is one of personal perception on the progressive revelation of Yeshua Messiah in my life. In other words, Yahweh caused me to see beyond the 'now' into what will be. He opened my eyes to see that my actions hold repercussions for the imminent or distant future. What I say, what I do, what I give, what I take is all jotted down and held accountable unto myself. Every action I take I can see its progress in that particular direction. And yet it ties into the main progress of the Christian walk of faith in Messiah. Do you get me? Because I didn't get that.

Maybe an analogy given to me might help: Our walk with Elohim is one large rushing river of water. In that river there are three distinct things to note: the fish of the river, though different in colour are of the same species and kind; the rocks on the riverbed, which are all distinct and varying in size and roughage; and the river currents which turn the fishes here and there. We are the fishes, our experiences and what we go through are the rocks and our personal walk with Yahweh are the river currents. Every fish swims in the same large flowing river but every fish do not see the same things. The rocks which are all differing and the water currents which turns whatsoever fish that swims into it here and there. It's the same with what Yahweh has revealed to me. Our personal walks with Elohim differs greatly one from another because each of us are fearfully and wonderfully custom made. There is no identical, only variance. As such what I might consider a trouble might be considered as baby paste to another. And what one might consider a burden I count it my pleasure. I'm not saying anyone in particular, just giving an example here.

The path we take is an ancient path since the beginning of creation until the return of our Lord and Saviour Yeshua Messiah. Every bona fide son of Elohim has walked this same path of faith in faith towards Elohim through Messiah. However our experiences varies from person to person. It's like seeing a mountain from different viewpoints. It's the same mountain, only viewed and climbed from different ways. Such was revealed to me by Yahweh, I do hope you were able to wrap your head around what I'm trying to say. Because I'm finding it difficult to put into words right now.

Thus He has caused me to see and I must say, it is a sight that humbles one such as myself. For all the blessings that He has given me I am seeing them in a new light that truly it was nothing and can be nothing of myself. I was the least deserving of all these blessings and yet they found a way to come to me. It really puts me in a pickle. Where I go I know I shall be a blessing however that blessing doesn't come from me going of my own volition. It's like I'm just there for the ride and Yahweh has loved me greatly to show me the things He has in store for me in Himself. In the right place at the right time to see what I was required to see by Elohim and go through the works He had prepared beforehand. Despite that I know Yahweh holds no personal favouritism to any man, I am surely the most blessed one. Not because of myself but because He loves me. Praise Yahweh! Truly.

Living the Heavenly Life

I have time to spend so I might as well blog once again. It's been a while since I last blog and for a particular reason for that. The story of Moses; his life, his experiences, his mistakes, his flock all just point to the life of a Christian who truly desires to follow the Word of Elohim. Though we may go through much travailings, yet the blessings that accompany us easily blots out every remembrance of our past ordeals. The promises of Elohim keeps us going inasmuch as it keep Moses. I have decided to drop the subject of Moses because it is vastly extensive and rich in revelations. I do not drop it because of said reason but simply because this blog was never meant to be a pastoral sermon board but a personal walk of a son of Elohim, his daily challenges and his daily blessings in the Messiah revealed and shared from day to day.

So inasmuch as I ended the previous part of Moses on the tenth plague, I believe I'll just leave it there. For now at least; until the time comes when the Spirit of Yahweh prompts me to return to it. Let's return to what I'd rather do. Talking of His wondrous works in day to day life as a son of Elohim.

The upcoming seminar 'Living the Heavenly Life' is just around the corner and things are starting to become lively here at Glory Place Mantin. The place is a buzz with activity in preparation for receiving different nations into her midst. It is truly a blessing to be able to not only witness but be a part of the ecumenical body of Messiah; gathering together to truly wait upon Yahweh and to receive from Him. Friends and family alike are gathering together in the name of the Lord Yeshua Messiah and that is something to be excited and jovial about.

Some people see this as a time of immense work to be done but I for one see this as my vacation day. When you're with family, no matter what; even if it be work, it is accounted as nothing when you're with the people you love. So when we gather together during seminars like this it's as though I've gone on vacation and take this time to enjoy myself in whatsoever I've been given to do. A great joy indeed. For how can you count something as work when you enjoy it so much? Rather it becomes a pleasure, something desirable rather than something needed.

The dawn of the seminar is here and with it, a higher breakthrough in and of and by the Spirit of Elohim. Wonder what will be for this time...
