Psalm 138:8

It's been 10 days since I last blogged. It's just that this month of June is really, really intense. This month happens to be the month of Ramadan. The Moslems are fasting and by doing so bring down the powers of the second heaven upon the people of the land; more so we the people of Elohim.

Oppressions, strife, contention, discontent, backbiting and much more are rife right now and I am having to wage warfare at every given moment. Whether I sleep or am awake it comes and it doesn't lightly brush, it packs a punch. Everywhere I look I see something that just triggers me and everywhere I look I see the work of the enemy whether in the daily doings of the young people or even in myself. Some of them are so blatant for us to see and yet the person himself is blinded to the oppression he is under. Sometimes a good smack is what is needed around here, for me and others.

I have lost many and won some of the battles however that is not the end. The war is already won, it's just these little skirmishes with the enemy who doesn't know when to quit. In the end I found the surefire way to continue on with. Firstly and of course the most needed: the Word of Elohim and the presence of Elohim. The Word keeps reminding me to remain sober and vigilant always and to watch and pray at every given moment lest I fall into temptations. True enough, as I continued to worship and to pray I found myself becoming lighter and lighter. Able to think more rationally and sane rather than in the spur of the moment and its torrents of emotion.

Secondly: endurance. I have much need for it. Even though I fell so many times I must continue on in order to overcome. There is no choice for me in anything less than that. I must endure and endure and endure through it all. But the endurance does not come from my own pool of strength because if it did I would have fizzled out and would have required deliverance already so many times. The endurance comes from the first point: the Word and the presence of Elohim. In His presence I find my problems so minuscule and whatsoever or whosoever was bothering me I see a change in perspective of them. The little of their good greatly overshadows the abundance of evil I though I had found in them. This enduring strength is what keeps me going, by looking and crying out to Yeshua Messiah I receive my help. Mercy and grace to help in my times of need has been promised me when I draw near unto Him and He me.

Thirdly: silence. People have been saying things about me that may be right but also may be wrong. I don't know. But before all this I had asked Yahweh some time after the "Receiving the Resurrection Life of Yeshua" seminar that He teach me to keep silent before Him. I had known Yahweh to be my Healer, Deliverer, Saviour, Providence. But now I wanted to know Him as my Vindicator. So in this time of warfare there were many times I wanted to defend myself but I just shut my mouth so that Yahweh may open His'. And He has and I have seen the vindication of Yahweh upon me these past few days of me not blogging.

Praise Yahweh! Let us continue on now.

Pleasurable Weekends

Here we are, at the blessed weekend once again. I didn't blog much because I have been undergoing some trials and warfare during the week but praise Yahweh that it is now the weekend and I do enjoy my weekends; though not as others enjoy theirs.

The weekend for me begins on Friday at 5pm when I have just departed from Glory Place Mantin to head to Semarak Revival Centre to rendezvous with some people to head down to GP PJ together. From there it swings into the weekly Friday house church and flows into overnight prayers until 3am. I won't be back home at GP Mantin until after 5am and then I get my brief rest. Saturday begins at 2pm with the Glory Place service followed by Yeshua Heals Miracle Healing service at 8pm at SRC. I would attend the 11.30pm 1st English service as well but now I have a prayer watch during that time back at GP. Resting at 4am and rising again at 8am to prepare the Sunday services. 10am at SRC and 4pm at CRC. Then it's dinner and fellowship until we arrive back home at 11pm or so. What an enjoyable week!

Most people would complain or murmur that their weekends are so full that there is no time for oneself to 'seek Yahweh' as they would term it. But myself I find it no burden to continue service after service after service because I seek Yahweh during such moments. To me these are my personal moments together with Elohim and they are much cherished. I look forward to two things mostly every week: my off day during Wednesday where I catch up on rest and the weekend where I catch up with Elohim. Of course that is to say that during the week I also make it a point to fellowship with Elohim during my free time though this week was quite erratic due to said first reason of why I did not blog much this week.

But with Elohim everything works together for good to them that love Him, to them who are the called according to His purposes. Amen to that!

Young People's Camp, June

It's been a while. As I write this the Young People's Camp: The Heavenly Life has just concluded a day ago and we are still winding down from it. Praise be to Elohim for all His wondrous benefits towards His people. I have been immensely blessed by this experience and truly I can see that nothing is going to remain the same hereafter 

Firstly, the Young People's Camp ran its course of one week with us waking up early in the morning and concluding with us sleeping always after 1am the earliest. Time just seemed to flow and progress by so fast that inasmuch as it had just begun it was already over. Truly, our Yahweh is timeless and in His presence is eternity. What seemed like such a quick worship was in fact hours in and the days flew from morning to suddenly evening. This is of course just evidencing that truly our Messiah is returning soon and He hastens His work in righteousness. As we see the mighty working of the Holy Spirit working in us we catch a glimpse of eternity together with Elohim.

The group devotions were uplifting and encouraging. It was a blessed time for me to indeed share the Word of Elohim with my friends of many nations and to indeed build one another up in the Messiah Yeshua. We joked, we shared, we enjoyed the presence of Yahweh and truly that is what contentment is all about; no need for all the big things or exuberant materials. Once we have His presence with us He gives us rest and peace in Yeshua through the Spirit.

Testimonies were plentiful as many if not all of us caught the art of true worship that is pleasing unto the Father: in spirit and in truth. For me I have had the privilege of just being refreshed and re-energised altogether in His presence. I found the Word of Elohim becoming so vibrant and wonderful that I can keep on reading and absorbing it like a sponge at many occasions. I too experienced the presence of Yahweh in an altogether different way. On the 4th night or so there was just such a flowing presence; not like how I normally experience it. It was calm, peaceful like a river.

[Isaiah 66:12a] For thus saith יהוה, Behold, I will extend peace to her like a river, and the glory of the Gentiles like a flowing stream.

It just kept falling upon me for the entire session whether I raised my hand to receive it or no, it just kept on coming. I was thoroughly amazed and truly humbled that Yahweh not only blessed me with such a presence of His but altogether confirmed it with two others experiencing the same thing I did. I was also reminded that the most important thing is not the presence though it is important to soak in Yahweh, but the life of His Son Yeshua. Anyone can receive His presence but few have the Life for that presence to take deep root into.

This was truly a marvelous time and it was all of Yeshua Messiah, not by night now by power; but by His Spirit. I found the anointing became even more stronger and present when the worship leaders themselves could not sing the way they normally would. It just shows so clearly that Yeshua alone shall be exalted and when He is lifted high He will draw the nations to Himself and praise Elohim He has!

What I take from this is simple, He desires separation from the world and unto Himself. In this camp He has shown me that I am still lacking in many areas, issues that need to be addressed. However He also showed me that by my trying it will only make the matter worse than for the better. Instead Yeshua has given me the answer to this:

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

So indeed here I am o Lord. Take over completely.

20

This will be one of the few times that I will be able to blog again for a while. So I won't make it too long.

The Young People's Camp: The Heavenly Life is almost underway now and in a few hours time we will be seeing the increase of the number of young peoples. Malaysia, Brunei, Singapore, Australia, Holland, Thailand, China, Myanmar, Vietnam and many more are on the way today and tomorrow. According to the Word of Elohim we have asked for nations and now we have them. Though we once sowed in tears we now reap in joy. Praise Yahweh!

My birthday passed by uneventfully only that I have come to realise that in the end even on my birthday it is not my day but Yahweh's. And I mucked it up by making it all about myself and thus I reaped what I sowed into.

[Galatians 6:8] For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.

But thanks be to Elohim that though He chastises His sons and daughters He does not destroy for as He bruises He binds us up, He has stricken but He will raise us up that we may live in His sight and declare His works amongst the living.

So now I'm 20. A new time is upon us more so me now in the seasons of Yahweh. Hallelujah! Keep looking unto Yeshua; the Author and Perfector of my faith.

May and more - Glorious

We now enter into half the year gone by. How fast time flies in the presence of Yahweh! One moment I had just begun serving and now the next, I am already almost 9 months into His marvelous service. Praise Yahweh for that! This just goes to show that the Lord Yeshua is truly returning again imminently and it is a grievance to see that most of us Christians are still unawares about this. Thinking that it is still afar off when heaven is already coming down in its splendour and glory. Heaven's glory, heaven's worship, heaven's perfect law, even the King of heaven is here already in our hearts and yet we are still ignorant.

May was phenomenal. It all climaxed to the point of the All Malaysian Golden Gate Revival Convocation on the 26th to the 29th; from Thursday to Sunday. As by the grace of Elohim we have been given the privilege to open and close as well as to take a few sessions of worship during the convocation itself with the harp. And what a blessing it has been to us here inasmuch as it was to them. Their sense of worship has been awoken and now they realise: only Yahweh's way of worship which is by the harp is able to bring the presence of Yahweh down to the peoples. And for us we are humbled that Yahweh would use us to impact nations and tribes and languages. It brings to my memory of my previous church's youth group called Impact. Here we are by the grace of the Messiah reaching out to different nations and soon to touchdown in Jerusalem. How awesome it is to be a son of Elohim.

Now as we enter a new month what lies before us is another turning point in Yahweh's season of work: the All Nations Jerusalem Convocation in October. I don't know why but I just sense that everything will be leading up to that. Pastor Jean says to pray for Yahweh to provide but I already know that He will because it is His desire for all nations to know the true Elohim by means of true worship in spirit and in truth. As it is in heaven so it must be on the earth. Now is the time that Yahweh is wrapping up His glorious work in each and every one of us because His Son is returning shortly. Thus it becomes mindful for us especially myself to just surrender to the workings of the Holy Spirit in and through me.

The key I have found is to keep looking unto Yeshua Messiah. Not to our problems, not to our situations, not to our circumstances but unto He who makes the impossible possible. I found out that as long as my sights are set on Him than those issues in my life I previously had trouble with is slowly but surely dissipating and purged away from me. When I look to my surroundings I become discouraged. How can this be? How must I do this? How do I get this? The answer:

[Isaiah 45:22] Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am El, and there is none else.

When I look unto Him He takes over. He will do what I cannot and He makes the crooked ways straight and when He does it who can come against it? Also it is a privilege to begin the month with fasting and prayer. More breakthroughs are upon us this day. Praise Yeshua!
