All Malaysian Golden Gate Revival Convocation - Day Two

With this blog post, a long day is finally winding down. Praise Yahweh for that, He has sustained us throughout with a little nap here a little snack there and most of all with the presence of Elohim. This has been an honour to truly worship Yahweh in the heavens and to bring the nations together to come and worship the King of kings and Lord of lords, Yeshua Messiah. My part has been fulfilled and now I move onward to other matters that Yahweh will soon bring me in to. I give thanks to You, Lord Yeshua for truly being merciful and gracious unto someone like me. Whom You have given the great honour to worship with Your harp, before nations. The ball is rolling and now a brand new season of the Lord is here.

This season is one entirely of the Person of the Holy Spirit. It is His work now and we have no part to play in it other than being vessels willing and submissive through whom He is able to fulfill the will of Elohim through. Our part is to rest and He does the work; both to will and to do for the Father's good pleasure. Even just today I am reminded that inasmuch as Yeshua has blessed me with, I must return to the Foundation on Whom He is building me on: Himself.

I am called now to be absolutely carefree. No need to worry about my needs or wants, or even tomorrow. Yeshua has promised that He will provide so long as we come to Him and enter His rest. Even during the Friday overnight in CRC as I poured out my heart to Elohim I can sense the walls around me are dissipating. It's an open field of harvest. Now I am beginning to understand that the first Person above all else I am answerable to is to the Lord Yeshua Messiah. He died for me to redeem me unto Elohim through Himself by His blood shed for me on the cross. As His servant I am made blameless before others because so long as I hold my peace my Master will advocate and vindicate for me. A servant, though he may be scrutinised by some in the end is only accountable to his master. More so we as the servants of the Most High. What more now that through Yeshua we are no longer a slave but a son?!

Thus, it comes time to put pen to paper to field work. Saying is one thing but doing it requires the Divine Intervention from Yahweh to successfully see even the simplest of things through. Holy Spirit, takeover...

All Malaysian Golden Gate Revival Convocation [AMGGRC] - Day 1

First day of the convocation is over and wow! Was it the hyped up event it turned out to be. People both familiar and new appeared during the convocation and the highlight of it all was the opening worship. 24 harpists of the Glory Place South East Asia - Eastern Gate mirroring the 24 elders around the throne of Elohim in heaven, crowns, golden bowls full of incense and all. It was a marvelous time of praise and worship to the Most High Yahweh Elohim. It was not a performance mind you, but a heartfelt worship. The anointing was there, His Presence; which makes all the difference was there as well. Magnificent, simply awesome.

A few of our friends had taken videos of the event and I was shown one such video and it was astounding and humbling to see. Aunty Rachel of GP Mantin recorded the worship of us on her phone and it took an amazing recording to say the least. Even though the dancers were all dressed in white as well as us, only we were clothed with the glory. By that I mean that in the video despite all of us in front were dressed in white, only we were blazing bright like pure light. The white light just covered our entire being, shadowing our faces and we were just figures of pure, dazzling light. It was simply awesome to see that and so humbling to know Yahweh has chosen us as His own special people. His glory covered and clothed us and it was no longer we but the very hosts of heaven came down to worship. We need not try to bring the people up into the heavens, we are already there and we have the privilege to bring down the Presence of Yahweh to the people. Hallelujah!

The speakers, meh. I won't talk so much about them. May the next day I pray be even more spectacular but most of all may You be there with us, Lord Yeshua.

Season of Submission

Here we are in the last week of May and what a momentous week this shall be. At we wrap up our practice for the harp worship during the All Malaysian Golden Gate Revival Convocation there is a shift in the atmosphere. We all know that after this convocation nothing will be the same ever again.

With Yahweh it is always upwards and never sideways.

[Pro 16:9] A man's heart deviseth his way: but יהוה directeth his steps.

I have learnt this revelation that now matter how we may see things in the natural, even though it seems so real; so 'in-the-moment'. However that is not the case. How we see things as they are whether it is good or bad, in Messiah Yeshua it is all good and will work for good for those in Himself. Therefore I take special comfort in the fact that when everything comes full circle and it is pleasant to taste, it is of Yahweh inasmuch as the times when everything crumbles and falls apart brutishly, it too is of Yahweh. What comes our way even if it is a buffering from the devil first must go through our Lord Himself first. After all satan had to get permission from Yahweh to lift the hedge protecting Job so that he could buffet him.

[Job 1:12] And יהוה said unto satan, Behold, all that he hath is in thy power; only upon himself put not forth thine hand. So satan went forth from the presence of יהוה.

[Job 2:6] And יהוה said unto satan, Behold, he is in thine hand; but save his life.

Joseph's life is a prime example of Romans 8:28 made flesh. His brothers sold him off to Egypt, he was a slave in the house of Pothiphar. Because of false accusations he was cast into the prison house and was not remembered of Pharaoh's butler even after the good he done him for the next 2 years. But soon after he became the right hand man of Pharaoh. His opportune moment to exact retribution came upon his brothers however like Yeshua:

[1Pe 2:23] Who, when He was reviled, reviled not again; when He suffered, He threatened not; but committed Himself to Him that judgeth righteously.

He surrendered what he wanted to do and likewise in these last days I realise that I may try all I like, it will amount to nothing. All Yahweh requires of me now is to stop my doings and surrender my entire spirit, soul, and body unto Him so that He may do the work in and through me and not of myself.

[Heb 10:5,7] Wherefore when He cometh into the world, He saith, Sacrifice and offering Thou wouldest not, but a body hast Thou prepared Me:

Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of Me,) to do Thy will, O יהוה.

That's all there is to a Christian walk in my opinion, really. He desires that we simply just enter His rest that He may do the work in us; both to will and to do according to His good pleasure, unhindered by our needless trying to be good and holy and whatnot. And especially as Yahweh is bringing us into a new season in Himself we need all the more to stop the works of man so that Elohim may do the works of Elohim in and through us. All we need to do is to believe and thereby the works of Elohim will be accomplished.

[Joh 6:29] Yeshua answered and said unto them, This is the work of Elohim, that ye believe on Him whom He hath sent.

Psalm 118:24

Life in Elohim sure is exciting. There is never one day that is always the same. Even though we may be doing the same thing day in and day out there will always be something that will make that day distinct from the rest. Actually I should say that there will always be Someone Who makes everyday distinct. The Holy Spirit.

Whether we make it good or bad in our own eyes, everyday is Yahweh's day and thus, a day of gladness and rejoice. Well, even the fact that we have entered into a new day is something that we should be glad in itself. After all everyday we live as though at any moment Elohim may call us home; hence we ought to redeem every moment of it. Yes, we ought.

[John 6:63] It is the spirit that gives life; the flesh profits nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.

Wondrous Things

[Isaiah 46:4] And even to your old age I am He; and even to gray hairs will I carry you: I have made, and I will bear; even I will carry, and will deliver you.

Yahweh is good, so good to me. Even as I write this we are speeding back home to GP Mantin at 5 in the morning and as always it is times like these that gives me the opportunity to remember all His wondrous and marvelous benefits towards someone like me. Had I remained in the world my sphere of influence would amount to so much but now in Yeshua that sphere extends across nations. What a marvelous and awesome Elohim I have the privilege to serve and give my whole life to.

It is good that I err, that way I am able to learn but more so it gives me the insight that I still require the salvation Yeshua has died to give me. And not only that but His very fullness as well. His life, His sanctification, His lodgings, His chastening and much more. Was I a perfect man then I would have no need for another Perfect One to live in me since I am already perfect. But by His grace I am who I am today because He is moulding me albeit at such a pace that I sometimes cannot fathom nor fully comprehend.

I am reminded in times like these of the goodness of the Elohim I serve. Truly, He satisfies my soul with the marrow and the fatness and He makes me walk on His high hills. Not because of who I am nor of what I can do but because of He who lives in me and loves me so that He would die for me to cleanse me from all iniquities and unrighteousness through His own blood. No longer a slave, but a king and a royal priest of the household of Elohim. Though sometimes I may fall short of that calling and stumble easily, like Isaiah prophesied: He who made me will bear me up, will carry me even unto my old age and will deliver my soul. Oh, how precious are His thoughts toward me!

[Psalm 105:1-3] O give thanks unto the YAHWEH; call upon His name: make known His deeds among the people. Sing unto Him, sing psalms unto Him: talk of all His wondrous works. Glory in His holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek the YAHWEH.

Proverbs 10:22

It's my off day today. The weather is magnificent; raining cats and dogs, a cold breeze is gushing outside and as I write this I am resting in an ice box of a room: the Hiding Place. I can already tell that tonight will be a marvelous rest and the best thing is I don't have any work due tomorrow. Praise Yahweh! Hallelujah! Even now as I write the night sky outside is flashing with soft, rolling thunder. Truly a spectacular sight to behold. I am blessed.

What's more to say or what's more to note? I am greatly blessed and the secret to it is not as complex as many people think it is. It is simply because of the Beloved. Yeshua Messiah in me, the hope of glory. In the end though I may have the knowledge down pat I am only now coming to terms with what I mean when I say: it is not who we are but who Messiah is. And He never fails, He will never leave us nor forsake us. He will cleanse and sanctify us Himself because by ourselves can no man be presented unto Yahweh. We are marred by a fallen nature and as such we are unable to cleanse ourselves spiritually but He came in sinful flesh condemned sin in the flesh so that through Yeshua we have the atonement, the healing, the sanctification, the justification, and everything else pertaining to true life and wisdom.

I may have issues, in fact there is not one person I know that does not harbour an issue that he or she is trying to resolve. However I have learnt in the past few days that we cannot resolve the simplest of issues in our lives without the Messiah taking over and resolving it in Himself in our stead.

So from, "Am I without sin before Elohim?"" to, "Have I been washed in the cleansing blood of the Messiah yet?" From, "Am I well pleasing unto Yahweh?" to, "Am I accepted in the Beloved?" There is nothing needed from us anymore besides to believe and receive all that He has and wants to give us through His Word because the cross is the culmination of the work of Elohim in the world. It is finished and needs no adding therewith. Now, I am crystal clear that as long as I continue to keep walking despite my stumbling, my falling down; with Messiah Yeshua, in Messiah Yeshua then in due time He will resolve all the issues in my life. If I even for a moment leave His presence then I know full well that I will perish and perish quickly I shall. Besides,
The blessing of יהוה, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it. (Proverbs 10:22)

From Goshen to Zion

Well now! How interesting it is to just flow in the Spirit, you can never really tell how the Sovereign Spirit of Elohim will lead us. During the Friday house church, a certain sister shared about the land of Goshen, the children of Israel and Egypt. That despite of all the plagues happening Goshen remained untouched by Yahweh and that now we have the same privilege to experience the same degree of separation. The only downside is what the Spirit gave me to understand a bit later on.

Goshen though it is blessed indeed is because of the sakes of the chosen people of Elohim residing in it. I believe that if the children of Israel were to live anywhere else in Egypt, Goshen would be experiencing some abnormal weather: ten times the abnormality to be exact. Goshen is still in Egypt, Yahweh did not desire that they should remain in Goshen but to completely come out of it and enter His promised land. With this I see that no matter how we may delude ourselves into thinking, our Goshens are still in Egypt. We need a complete and total separation from the world.

The ten plagues have such a characteristic. The first nine were all natural disasters caused by a supernatural Hand. Hailstorm, locusts, boils, frogs etc. are all natural disasters only revamped to a massive scale by none other than Yahweh. But the 10th plague is the most fearsome. Yahweh Himself comes down to strike all of Egypt, Goshen included. If Goshen was separated as it were then there would be no need to put the blood of the sacrificial lamb on the door posts. Goshen is still in Egypt and Yahweh Himself came to strike all of Egypt. I also believe that the first place Yahweh descended upon would be where the children of Israel dwelt. After all judgement must begin at the house of Elohim.

The words are flowing. Only that I don't know how I should phrase it. Goshen is not a safe refuge, it is simply Elohim's grace and mercy upon us who are still in the world mingling. That doesn't mean that we should stretch the extent of His covering upon us; rather we should take heed of His own words to come out from the world and be ye separated. For without holiness no one can see Elohim and how can we be holy unless we are separated from that which is unholy. It's like placing your drink on the edge of the table; you never know just how fast it will take for your drink to drop and be smashed. Likewise us, why do we want to walk a tightrope act, mingling and soon to be defiled by world when Yahweh has brought us out to a broad place on which we can plant our feet upon the Rock, Yeshua Messiah?

Goshen is not the end, it is His mercy towards us to give us time to come out. If not we will soon find the destroyer knocking on our doors as well since we still choose to side with the world by remaining in it. Goshen was spared from the natural disasters, it was not spared from the judgement visit from Yahweh Elohim. Not as a Benevolent Father but as a Righteous Judge of all. The place of refuge is in Proverbs 18:10: "The name of יהוה is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe." Yeshua Messiah is the door and how does one enter a tower except by the door?!

I wasn't looking for this particular revelation but that doesn't mean that I won't receive it. All good and perfect gifts come from the Father of lights above in Whom there is no variation nor shadow of turning. I thank you for this revelation, Lord Yeshua that it pleased You to reveal more of Yourself through Your Word unto someone like me. Also to the sister in the slightest, slimmest chance Yahweh directs here to this here blog: Sorry about that. I'll probably apologise in person, it's much better than over some text like this.

Wow, 8 months already?! Praise Yeshua!

Honey from the Rock

Well now, what an interesting fasting and prayer we have here. First off, 5pm Thursday: I broke the absolute fast and boy was it well needed. The first day there was no hitch whatsoever besides me being called out to lead worship day after day ever since Pastor Jean took Kenneth and Ryan together with her to China. Fingers need approximately 2 hours of rest time to output for the next 4 hours. Anyway first day of fasting flew by like a breeze. In fact I rather enjoyed that first day. Yes, yes I did.

But the second day was a total reversal of it. The moment I woke up I was stuck in a state of limbo once again although this particular proved quite challenging. I was tired but not tired, thirsty but not thirsty. There was one thing at the back of my mind which kept muddling my thoughts up: water. Today was a parched day, there was not a day I quite felt the heat of the afternoon sun beating down on me quite like today. The saliva on my tongue ran out of power and left my tongue moisture less. Resting proved inefficient as it was a day ago as I just could not replenish the energy quite like yesterday. A slow, slow tortoise like pace of recovery. Huh.

I was scheduled to lead worship in the morning together with Jonathan but it was about 5 hours before I ran out of steam. Puff, puff. When I rested there was just one verse that kept nagging at me even while I was sleeping: 1 Samuel 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." Of all verses it had to be that. I could see it in broad daylight; the glistening, sweet honey just dripping down from a branch. Thick, moist and ever sweet. Of all times for my imagination to snowball!

And then I found out that I had to lead worship yet again in the night session with Jefrin as well. Well, now I'm in quite a pickle here. There was one option that I had not chosen for a long while and that was to break fast early. On one hand this is Yahweh's fast and just as He promised He too is able to fulfil His Word. On the other, honey. In the end I chose. He promised me that He would sustain me and He has provided the means for it. I just went and took a big swig of His sustenance and downed a 4 layer portion of His blessing; aka a soft drink bottle and a 4 layer peanut butter and strawberry jam sandwich. And just like Jonathan my eyes were enlightened. I committed the breaking of the fast to Yahweh inasmuch as I committed the commencing of it to Him.

And what do you know? I came back in the night refreshed and re energised. Worship was great, the presence of the Lord was there and there was great joy even though the people were quite soft spoken and quiet due to the fast. Now the last day is here. What will Yahweh bless us with today I wonder?

Torchlight

It is now May and things are rolling fast and rolling high. The kick starter to this month is the upcoming Yeshua Heals, Miracle Healing Service conducted in Park Lane, Kelana Jaya next week in the 8th. Thus, we begin the month of new expectations from Yahweh by once again delving into His fast and immersing ourselves in the act of crucifying the flesh with its passions and desires through fasting food and water. What a way to begin. I am eagerly expecting marvelous things from Yahweh in this month and those to come.

It is good that He has taken down this road for surely all the steps of man; though he may plan are in the end as it should be: directed by the Spirit of Elohim. He does not let me see the entirety of it for all secret things belong to Him but He shows me more than enough to pique my interest and desire to continue trekking along the road. I am being taught the necessity of the constant immersion of myself into His Word. If we go trekking in the jungle especially at night without a lamp then you are asking for it. And the Word is likened to a lamp unto our feet and a light unto our paths. Without it when night comes what will one such as myself do? While it is still day, it is time to find the torch that brings us along in the night seasons.
