2019

We're here at last. At the end of 2019 and I give thanks to the Lord Yeshua that He has once again sustained and brought me through yet another year with even more of His strength, His anointing, His revealing of Himself through His Word to me. I truly am blessed to be able to be taught by the Holy Spirit and I can boldly testify that He truly knows all things and that all things which the Father has given to His Son, His Spirit now gives and declares them unto me as the Scripture has said: 

Joh 16:13-15 Howbeit when He, the Spirit of truth, is come, He will guide you into all truth: for He shall not speak of Himself; but whatsoever He shall hear, that shall He speak: and He will shew you things to come. He shall glorify Me: for He shall receive of Mine, and shall shew it unto you. All things that the Father hath are Mine: therefore said I, that He shall take of Mine, and shall shew it unto you.

It has been an exciting and an awesome year. As we had begun the year with the prophecy that this year shall be the year to declare forth the Word of Elohim due to it being the Hebraic year of 5778, I have seen that indeed this year has been nothing but the lifting up of the Word of Elohim in all the nations where we have went together with and without. Everywhere that we went and everyone that we met were hungry and desirous for the Word of Yahweh and that was what many had received, myself included. Throughout the length of this year the Lord has developed a hunger and a thirst in me for more and more of His Word simply because His Word is truth. What He has spoken shall surely come to pass and shall not tarry, so what more if I wanted to know what He has spoken concerning me? 

This year has been one of the steepest learning curves that I have experienced thus far in my journey and my walk with the Lord Yeshua Messiah. I remember that early on in the year I had nearly wanted to leave the ministry thinking perchance that this was the will of Yahweh for me that I had to follow. Needless to say through much prayer and the revelation of His Word and presence to my family and I, by His grace and mercy here I still stand in the house of Yahweh, a testament to His faithfulness upon His children. 

2Sa 14:14b yet doth He devise means, that His banished be not expelled from Him.

Throughout this year 2019 I have experienced the birth of many new friendships and the closing of others, the reinvigoration of relationships and the finality of some as well. And for it all I thank Elohim that He has stayed true and faithful to me even to the very end of this year 2019. I've seen many doors opened not just to me but for the ministry as well and many others closed by the will of Elohim. And as we venture into 2020 I am excited that we shall surely see an even greater manifestation of His power and glory and kingdom upon us all. Praise Yeshua. 

Perhaps you could say the turning point for this year would have had to come on the last month itself, during the December's Young People's Camp entitled Victory Through The Cross. It was during this time that revival swept through the ranks of the young people present, myself included. And at the end of this camp as I ponder about what had taken place I realised that I have been changed. Although to say what area I was changed in I could never tell you since I myself do not know, but what I know for certain is that the Lord had changed me in some way, substance, or form. Soon after I began to realise that my life had taken a different turn from how it once was before this camp. 

Speaking plainly I used to have fast internet connection to my phone but after the camp was over I had to replace my SIM card because my phone no longer detected the old one and that in turn meant they my internet speed has been cut down significantly. I can still use WhatsApp and the other need apps but now to browse the internet has become such a long patience game to which I am no longer a frequent partaker of. So I see this as a godsend. Yahweh is slowly weaning me off the need and the usage of the internet and instead to spend time more with His Word. Ironically, now that most of what I used to watch and see on the internet has become redundant because of the slow internet, all that I can access to now is but to read books online which I find now is much more enjoyable since I can access Christian books as well to read and to learn however much I want. But still, the Word trumps as the go-to to read. 

But perhaps the greatest blessing from the Lord that I have received is one that I just received but a few weeks prior. I had always desired intimacy with the Lord Messiah and this is what I have especially received as of late and I know that this is a major turning point in my life because of it. I have always sensed and felt the presence of Yahweh especially during the times where we come together to worship as one and also in the times where I am alone, whether in the private closet and working by myself. But recently the presence of Yahweh became much more tangibly felt and experienced by me, especially when I pray, worship and am merely conscious of Him. I don't really know how to explain it properly but I have felt the mighty, awesome presence of Yahweh. He is love, just as He is holy. When I pray or worship the presence of the Lord rushes upon me and I am overwhelmed by Him, many times just silently crying and giving thanks for His being there. I found the the greater His presence the more I see that I am nothing before Him and yet He still chooses to see me and to love me. 

The presence of Yahweh become so powerful that now I can sense the holiness of Yahweh inasmuch as His love. He is so holy that all those who are not like Him will have their sins exposed and revealed in the light of His glory. Even when I know the blood of Yeshua has cleansed me from all my sin, whenever His presence is there I am reminded that I was truly unworthy of Him and all that He is to me. I felt so filthy and ashamed before Him because of all the things that I have done but still, still! Still He chooses to love me and call me His son. Still He draws me nearer to Himself like never before and brings me to His very throne to worship and find grace to help in times of need. Still He has forgiven me and has made me holy and pure before Him just like He is. I truly humbled myself again and again because I see that everything that I am doing ultimately makes no difference before the Lord Yeshua, but still He looks upon me and my works and acknowledges them. 

I cannot begin to express in words then the love and the holiness of Yeshua given to me and I received and felt it. And every time I just humbled myself before Him and He pours out more and more of His Spirit. How awesome, I look back and I see that perhaps this might be the culmination of the year 2019 for me. In just a span of a few short weeks, His presence a side of which I had never before experienced has changed me so although outwardly I still feel the same. In my spirit I know that He is doing a great, deep work in me and one day His life and glory will be manifested for all to see and glory in Him for the things He has done. Praise Yeshua, praise Him for 2019 and praise Him for 2020 and years to come. Amen. Even so, come Lord Yeshua! 

Rev 22:20 He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Yeshua.

Revival Camp and Night Reading

Ho Ho Ho! It's been an indefinite amount of time that I haven't written anything since beginning the Young People's Camp and now we are here in the midst of the Bible Reading. Really, everything has been picking up ever since the camp and it's only getting better and better, more and more intense in things pertaining to the Lord Yeshua. Perhaps before I share about what is happening now in the Bible Reading here in Glory Place Mantin I had best speak about the great revival the Lord Yeshua has poured out in the midst of the young people present for this camp, although few but greatly impacted. 

This Young People's Camp is themed Victory Through The Cross and this has been a camp unlike any other I've ever experienced before in my lifetime. Usually Pastor Jean would share for an indefinite amount of time and would the whole day to fill us with the Word of Elohim but this time around the move of the Spirit was completely different. This time all that we did for the first few days was to wait upon Yahweh, that's it. We worshipped, prayed, and waited. Pastor shared here and there but nothing too deep or too long winded. We simply rested and waited in silence and soaked ourselves continually from Sunday night until Friday evening. During this time I could sense that the Holy Spirit was slowly building something up for which I didn't know what at that time. All that He spoke to me was to persevere and continue waiting until the day He exploded in the midst of us. There would be an explosion and a great move of His Spirit and all we had to do was to continue waiting. 

And it came as was promised. Friday night during the worship I was at the mixer area at the back of the sanctuary and I tangibly felt it. A large flood of the Spirit just surging into the sanctuary from the back to the front and the air instantly electrified and almost everyone caught that wave and had their breakthrough during that night, myself included. Revival had begun once more and we believe it will be an even more effective working of the Holy Spirit than in the days of the book of Acts. 

After that for the rest of the days the sessions really picked up quickly and exponentially. The presence of Yahweh was no longer felt by one or two but almost everyone could flow along together for the rest of the days. It was truly spectacular, amazing, awesome. Praise Yahweh. 

At the end of this camp I felt that I had changed. If you were to ask me what had changed with me even I wouldn't know what to answer you but I know, I have this confidence in the Spirit that He has definitely changed me. Now we only need to wait and believe and we shall see the glory of Elohim revealed. One day now... 

So now here we are at the Bible Reading and I have had the privilege of being slotted into the night watches. I can be awake and continue to read and declare the Word of Yahweh until the sunrise and this is great since there are few people and I can read more and more and more as the hours go by. Although sometimes I am irked by how slow some people read and how they just take their time to just read! I mean yes, it is good to speak clearly but that doesn't mean you take 10 full minutes trying to pronounce properly just one word! My Elohim, o my Elohim forgive me my impatience. Having the bell next to me I am always so tempted to just ring it for those who truly are taking their sweet time and there are many many of them this time. Oh Lord Yeshua, You want to cultivate patience and long suffering in me and how I desire it so. Praise Yahweh for all circumstances at all times.

Imminent

The Young People's Camp is coming up very soon in but a few days and here we are preparing ourselves with the monthly staff and helpers fast and prayer. For three days we take work off our minds and just soak ourselves in the presence of Yahweh and worship and pray and seek for His will to be done in these days and times. It is good in my opinion that just before we begin the Young People's Camp that we thoroughly prepare ourselves for the great things the Lord Yeshua shall imminently do and fulfil in the midst of us during the next 7 days. 

The theme for this year's camp is "Victory Through The Cross" and how appropriate that we will be studying the book Elohim's Way of Healing - Through The Cross. I've been hearing bits and pieces from different people but from what I've gathered is that although we may be few in number yet we have many nations being represented in the midst of us such as Myanmar, Philippines, Hong Kong, China, Pakistan, Brunei and more I suppose. Some of the youths are already here with their guardians and parents to also prepare themselves for the camp and this time around there is a sense of expectation in the atmosphere. I can sense such an excitement as for what the Lord Yeshua will do in and through each and every single one attending this camp and should none receive it then by His grace may I all the more receive it thus. 

You know considering that now there's only about 4 brothers, myself included active in the gardens and the farm to maintain and beautify, to build and plant, to tear down and uproot, it has all been finished. Everyday there were needs and the needs were miraculously met because I can certainly testify that it takes more than 4 to clean the place up and even more than 4 to maintain it. But it is clean, it is maintained. This is the house of Yahweh and these are His gardens, surely His eyes are on such a place as His own. 

Deu 11:10-12 For the land, whither thou goest in to possess it, is not as the land of Egypt, from whence ye came out, where thou sowedst thy seed, and wateredst it with thy foot, as a garden of herbs: But the land, whither ye go to possess it, is a land of hills and valleys, and drinketh water of the rain of heaven: A land which YAHWEH thy Elohim careth for: the eyes of YAHWEH thy Elohim are always upon it, from the beginning of the year even unto the end of the year. 

I am truly excited for this camp because as I pray and as I believe this camp will be unlike any before it. The time is coming when I must relinquish my phone for the duration of this camp so most probably this will be the last post of mine right until after the camp is over and perhaps more should Elohim be willing. Praise Yeshua.
