Life-Changing is Here, Now

As the advance "Life-Changing Experience" draws nearer and nearer there is a growing sense of expectation that this prayer advance will be different than the rest that I've had the privilege of attending. Over 20 nations will be in attendance and perhaps more so the 10 nations of the ASEAN community will be fully represented as well. Brunei, Cambodia, Laos, Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam. That's 10 I think. And that just makes the half of it. Africa, Korea, United Kingdom are expected as well besides the mainstay of China, Hong Kong and India of course. The others I can't really remember but what I do know now is that in the air there is this sense of great excitement. Not just myself but everyone is feeling it as well, well at least I hope so. But it pays to note that just as the breakthrough shall be great, the warfare that comes with it will be great as well.

Over the past recent days we've been busy preparing the place to receive nations and as such we've been going up and down everywhere to ensure that Glory Place is not just beautifully set and ready, but immersed in prayer and worship as well. Needless to say that things are bound to crop up as well since the work is extensive and we are needed everywhere. The spiritual warfare is very great and very subtle at the same time, so much so that if not for the grace of Yahweh upon me I myself would have become prey to it as well. Just today, I very nearly had quite the quarrel with brother Jefrin whom I've been serving with while we were both working. Suddenly there came a misunderstanding and very nearly we both were on the edge to strain our friendship but when that was almost the case I had been helped by the Holy Spirit. Inasmuch as I wanted to raise my voice, the Holy Spirit quickly came in and prompted me that this is spiritual warfare in progress and that I had to shut my mouth, and so I did. Halfway speaking a sentence I immediately stoppered myself and just continued working together with Jefrin. In the end, the misunderstanding by itself vanished away as though it was never there in the first place. Kudos to him because I had thought that such a thing like this would linger on but he brushed it aside as quickly as it came. It was not just that day alone, everyday for no apparent reason I would be frustrated or confused, even angry. The simplest of tasks baffled me and I found that the Word of Elohim was becoming harder and harder to digest and comprehend than before. But today, there was a breakthrough and I found once again the presence of Yahweh open to me not just in the sanctuary during worship but while I work.

And it is not just myself, as I continued working for the past few days I've noticed that there were fights, breakdowns, petty issues becoming monstrous problems, and more so but by the mercy of our Messiah Yeshua it was all settled. The warfare was being felt by everyone everywhere but because of the Lord Yeshua I found strength to continue in His presence always. Because of Him even while working I found that I could draw strength and power and the anointing from the greater pool of power from above and I was able not just to sustain through the arduous working hours and all (which by the way was everyday), I was able to enjoy it as well! That is something I will always give thanks for.

The prayer advance is almost here and I can sense within myself that this will be the catalyst for something very great, very marvellous to come. Elohim knows what is to come but I can already tell that whatever it is, it shall be to my advantage and my delight. Yes, if I was not outside having supper right now I would be walking about Glory Place or in my room praising and thanking the Lord Yeshua for what He is about to do. It is that good. I know not what it is though, but like I said I know that He works all things for good even to such a person as myself. Praise Yeshua for that.

Great Change Ahead

We are now already in the month of August. How fast the time is flying by and rightly it should because as it says we are looking forward to and hastening the coming of the Lord Yeshua's return. And even as it has already been almost 4 years here serving Yahweh in Glory Place Prayer Centre of Malaysia I look back and I remember all the wonderful things which Elohim had done for me throughout my time here thus far. I remember His grace, His mercy, His compassion towards someone like me, how He has loaded me with so much even though many a times I have often returned to Him so little. Even when I was going astray in my walk with Him He has led me back and dare I say even fuller than when we first began. How great and awesome He is to the children of men.

I also duly noted how He is doing such a great transformation work in my life. I find that my life and my lifestyle are slowly changing for the better bit by bit. For example, I mentioned prior to this that I had begun to enjoy vegetables. Such a thing truly would have never crossed my mind in all my years but Yahweh is wonderful. More so I find that now even during my day offs I would rather be in Glory Place more than other places because the presence of Yahweh is prevalent here. In fact, I have become drawn to attend the night worship sessions every Tuesday as well even though it is my day off, I would still rather worship together and minister to Yahweh. And perhaps even more would be that now I am frequently joining my brothers and sisters here for dinner almost everyday. Usually what I would do would be to rest during dinnertime to prepare for the night sessions and have my dinner/supper right after the meeting was over. But now I am again drawn to just spend dinner here in this place with the people and still I am able to find the rest that I need for the night ahead. In fact, Glory Place has become even more homely and comfortable to me than even my own home! Go figure. Truly, Elohim gives what is good indeed.

This is nothing but the work of the Lord Yeshua in my life. As I believe He is drawing me nearer and nearer to Himself as the days go by and I truly am thankful for that. Because I know that no matter how much good I do, how much I am able to do and be, it pales in comparison to simply being with Him where He is. To have His desire fulfilled in my life and to see that He is the One accomplishing it in and through me is humbling indeed. To know that it is nothing of me but everything of Yeshua Messiah in me that I am able to enjoy the life of serving Him and the blessings upon blessings that comes with it. But that is not the end of it all, now is the time that judgement is beginning in the house of Yahweh. Things are beginning to shake like never before and those things which are not holding fast unto the Head of all things which is Messiah will be shaken clean and clear off. But in His mercy, He will recall those whose hearts are still loyal to Him at the end of it all.

Now is the time that heaven and earth will not be exempt from the shakings. Now is the time that Yahweh is beginning to move mightily across the nations and the lives of her people. Now is the time inasmuch as we have received so much from Yahweh that we must continue to persevere and continue to press forward not for greater things per se but to attain to the high calling He has placed in all our lives. Now is the time where He will now make known His ways to His sons and daughters and a clear distinction between those who serve Him and those who don't or merely pretense from the heart. Praise Yahweh.

Serving in the Spirit

There's nothing really much to note about as of lately. I'm enjoying myself serving Yahweh here and everything is peachy keen over here as well. True that recently there have been a few bumps along the road but ultimately it affects us none the wiser.

I don't plan to write much tonight but perhaps what I can say is that once again and I believe it bears repeating that everything that has been spoken by from the Word of Elohim is coming to pass one way or another. And this is the time where if we are not found in the will of our Lord Yeshua then we will be caught unaware when everything begins to take place. However when we truly are in the will of Elohim I myself testify to the fact that the Holy Spirit will tell us of things to come. Things concerning oneself, others, even often times the affairs of nations. But what He so reveals to us is not that we can do something about it other than pray, but He reveals them to us so that when the time comes we may believe that truly He is Elohim and that He is alive and that we are to bear witness that He is alive.

Frankly speaking every time the word the Holy Spirit speaks to me comes to pass I'd stand in awe that truly the Lord Yeshua has spoken to me and revealed to me what He is doing. It's not that He doesn't want to, He wants to but we are unable to receive it because we are not capable of understanding Him in His entirety using our own carnal mind and ways of thinking. It is only the mind of Messiah Who knows the mind of Yahweh. I mentioned this in a prior post but I believe that now is high time to renew our minds daily so that everyday our minds are transformed from the core values and teachings of the world to the core values and teachings that come from above, revealed to us through the Word of Elohim.

To serve Yahweh means to surrender all of oneself, willing to die. It means that at the offset I have died and now it is Messiah Who lives, works, and is in me doing all things for His own good pleasure according to the Word. I cannot carry anything in and it is certain I cannot carry anything out save for the presence of Yahweh and that I believe trumps all that the world has to offer. They may have everything, even what may seem necessary and needful but I have eternity. I have forever and ever, world without end and at the end of it all, only the Messiah in me will be left. And because He reigns I will also reign with Him. What a joy, what a privilege, what a blessing it is to serve the living Elohim and it is to my immense gratitude that every time I strayed He has brought me back unto Himself. Praise Yahweh for that.

Spiritual Tether

For the past few days I've had the privilege of being able to tap into the presence and the power of Elohim freely. Everyday at every given moment I am conscious of the fact that I am of one spirit with the Lord Yeshua and because of that I can draw strength and grace to help from a higher source of power besides myself. Everyday looking back I remember that it is no longer I who works but the Holy Spirit working in and through me abundantly and exceedingly. To this I have to give thanks to Yahweh for all matters. Truly it is a true report of what He has spoken of in His Word unto us who believe:

2Pe 1:3-4 According as His Divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him that hath called us to glory and virtue: Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the Divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.

The blessings of Yahweh makes one rich and He adds no sorrow therewith but more so the blessings of Yahweh are more than material things. They are immaterial given manifestation through us for the world to see and know the goodness of our Elohim. All that He has given to us through our Lord Yeshua Messiah pertains firstly to life and godliness, everything else that comes after are merely the small matters. But the greatest blessing He has given us is life and godliness that not only are we to have His life and enjoy it to the fullest measure but also that we have His Divine nature within us.

I remember Megan once told me that in the Bible there was a verse that spoke thus:

Rom 11:33-34 O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of Elohim! how unsearchable are His judgments, and His ways past finding out!
For who hath known the mind of the Lord? or who hath been His counsellor?

Isa 40:13 Who hath directed the Spirit of YAHWEH, or being His counsellor hath taught Him?

1Co 2:16 For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct Him? But we have the mind of Messiah.

The wisdom and ways of Yahweh are unsearchable to mere men but even to us at one point but not any longer. We have the mind of Messiah, we partake of His Divine nature and thus the unsearchable depths of His Spirit and wisdom, knowledge, power and so on and so forth become known to us. The Spirit searches the deep things of Elohim for us and His anointing teaches us all things, including the things of Elohim known only to Elohim. This was what Megan mentioned to me offhandedly and I completely agree with it. The purpose of Yahweh sending His Son to die for us is so that we can be with Him where He is now and to reinstate us to what we were once supposed to be not just in spirit but in the body as well: sons of Elohim through and through.

So it should be no wonder that I am able to everyday sense the mighty move of the Holy Spirit and to continuously draw strength from Him and guidance and teachings from Him at any given time and point. Such is our privilege now as sons of Elohim through faith in Messiah Yeshua. Everything is once more moving as the Holy Spirit has revealed to me and now I believe that He will begin to do something new. The things which He has done today were good but now is the time where He will reveal His glory and pour out His Spirit once again on all flesh. It's time for the latter house's glory to be greater than the former and all this is by the Spirit of Yahweh alone, through His working through us and as we yield to it we shall see the glory of Elohim revealed. Praise Yahweh.

Holy Spirit Liberty

This is the time where Yahweh is once more beginning to shake things up. Actually now that I think about it that's what He's always been doing but as I believe more so now than ever. In this time no one is exempted and He is going to truly shake all of us up, those who profess to know Him but more so those who are serving Him. He is going to ensure that those who are serving Him are serving Him only by the Spirit and no other means, not even a little of oneself in it. Yahweh will thoroughly begin to sift through every nook and cranny in our lives to ensure that only what remains is birthed forth from the Holy Spirit alone and no other. All other means however good and noble it may be He will chuck it one side and no longer allow us to rely on such matters anymore.

So now is the time, now is that point in time where we must ensure that all that we have and are now is truly taught and nourished and brought up by the Spirit of our Lord Yeshua and from no other means. Because if it is of other means then He will expel it in such a way that will cause us to keel over in intensity. Now is the time where one must learn to live and to walk in the Spirit. And I truly praise Yahweh that it is not of me, but of Himself that I can truly see the Holy Spirit working mightily in me especially these past few days and weeks. Since the time where I storied the falling of the tree in Glory Place I found that everything around and about me is slowly changing albeit not physically but spiritually. What used to hinder and bother me no longer is a problem but I find that there is finally a breakthrough through it all. And more so I find that now the presence of Yahweh is always with me and that I can tap into His fountain and into His stream to draw strength and help in times of need. The work which I found laborious prior to this no longer fazes me but instead I have begun to enjoy it and to relish the time I can spend with the Lord Yeshua and the Holy Spirit. The hours fly by and the by the time the day is spent my strength which would usually be spent by the night has still pools of it remaining.

I find also in me a liberty unlike what I've experienced before as well. The liberty which comes knowing that all things that I have and am is simply because of the grace and mercy of my Lord Yeshua upon me. Thus I am liberated to live free and to enjoy all things that He has prepared for me. Now I have found it to have become even deeper though I find it hard to describe it myself. I find that I am more set free and that I can freely enjoy the things which He has given as well as a seriousness to take matters at hand pertaining to the things of Yahweh. I know that I am protected and that whatsoever may come my way, at the end of it all I will be left standing in Yeshua's name.

How awesome and how marvellous is the work which the Lord is doing now in this time and season. Although for those struggling this will be a time most challenging but for those who can understand and who can begin to serve in the Spirit then they will find that revival is already here. Praise Yahweh for that.

Thoughts and Meditation

You know it takes growing up to truly appreciate something more and more which we once turned a blind eye towards. I found for the past few days that I was contemplating quite a lot on myself and how the Lord Yeshua has caused me to grow both spiritually and physically. My preferences change, my taste changes, even my outlook on previous matters may have shifted when I look at it once more. All in all this week in particular I was in deep thought about many things.

One of the major events they happened this week was that we had cut down a tree that has been here for a long while. Recently we found out that this tree had holes in it at its peak which means it would have cracked in half at some point in time down the road had we not taken action first. Not to mention that this tree was smack right in the middle of the new cabins site which we are already beginning to excavate and to make ready for the August seminar hopefully. So we cut the tree down and when it came down the first thought that came to me was, "I never knew the sky was that broad". It was at this moment that the Holy Spirit began to speak with me telling me that there is a breakthrough in the spiritual realm, what it is I do not know but one thing I do is that I realised that this tree had been in my way of looking upwards all this time. Sure this tree is wide and full of girth but in the end I never really knew how much I was missing out seeing unless the tree came down. When it did come down, I found that my field of vision particularly around the boys dorm area broadened up and I could see the expanse of the sky unhindered by anything now. It really is beautiful, something to praise Yahweh for. Even now whenever I pass by I take a quick glance upwards and I'm always in awe at the blueish hue of the sky and the many stars lingering in it during the night. It takes a moment to admire the handicraft of Yahweh. Much more it puts my life into perspective that the Lord Yeshua has prepared even greater things for me and not to mention all of us where the sky is the limit, but we are hampered by the tall trees obscuring our views. But one day when it does come down then we'll see the full extent the Lord has had in our lives.

Another thing that occurred this week was that I realised my tastes have changed exponentially. What I used to find enjoyable to eat no longer do I eat it with gusto. Instead it has become far too much for me now. What a shocking surprise this is for me because I had always thought I would never grow tired of this particular food: nasi goreng kampung with telur dadar. Now I find that it's a bit too much for me now, what an unbelievable turnaround! And even more shocking than that is now I've come to appreciate vegetables! Truly, the Lord Yeshua is coming soon (I'm joking)! I found that as I continued to eat I not only grew more accustomed to eating them but also have begun to enjoy them in its entirety. Not to say that all veggies appeal to me now but only a select few and that short list has further been developed. Praise Yahweh I suppose. With this I come to realise that eventually everything that we suppose we have or hold onto will have to be released in the end one way or another. Through this I come to really be thankful to the Lord Yeshua because He is the One changing and transforming me in ways I do not know.

Jer 33:3 Call unto Me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.

Psa 50:15 And call upon Me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify Me.

It really just goes to show that everything that we are or have now pales in comparison to the things which Elohim has prepared for those who love Him and are for Him. What we have is but a small droplet in the expanse of the greatness that is the Lord Yeshua. All that we are now is simply but a small piece to the glory which He shall reveal in us. So with such great hope before me how could I not give thanks at the remembrance of His holy name?

Psa 30:4 Sing unto YAHWEH, O ye saints of His, and give thanks at the remembrance of His holiness.

Praise Yahweh. I am full, I am satisfied, and I am glad to serve and to be in the house of Yahweh all the days of my life.

The Time of Shaking

Things are once again beginning to heat up in the house of Yahweh. The things the Lord Yeshua is putting us through is great and awesome and surely for our good but the price to pay may to have to begin once more from the foundations upwards in building. Not to worry anyone but I'm not talking about myself, I personally am doing perfectly well and fine in the house of Yahweh serving Him in the Spirit and rejoicing in the things He is doing amongst us. I however do have this concern for my peers and juniors, my brothers and sisters in Messiah Yeshua who are serving together with me. The Lord is once again shaking and this time doing a thorough job with it so much so that only that which cannot be shaken will remain.

I truly am concerned now because during this time fasting and prayer the layers are slowly but surely being peeled off one by one and once everything is laid bare before the Lord Yeshua and others there can be nothing left except Him. No excuses to be made in that day and no salvation save through fire.

1Co 3:13-15 Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is. If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.

The work of the Spirit is hastening at such a quick and brisk pace that those who cannot keep up in the Spirit will find themselves lagging behind and ultimately being dropped off, not because Elohim no longer loves them and is no longer merciful but because now even as we are quickening the pace and the work of the Lord Yeshua in these days the enemies which we face and have to face are also quickening their own pace to attempt to match ours.

Isa 30:15-16 For thus saith the Lord YAHWEH, the Holy One of Israel; In returning and rest shall ye be saved; in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength: and ye would not. But ye said, No; for we will flee upon horses; therefore shall ye flee: and, We will ride upon the swift; therefore shall they that pursue you be swift.

Now is the time to truly move into the Spirit and purposefully not by might, nor by power but by His Spirit as well. Like I said in the beginning, we need to learn to serve Yahweh not using our own strength or even by what we know but only by the same Spirit which He has given to us through His Son Yeshua Messiah.

Rom 1:9 For Elohim is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of His Son, that without ceasing I make mention of you always in my prayers;

Rom 7:6 But now we are delivered from the law, that being dead wherein we were held; that we should serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter.

2Co 3:3 Forasmuch as ye are manifestly declared to be the epistle of Messiah ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living Elohim; not in tables of stone, but in fleshy tables of the heart.

2Co 3:6 Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life.

This is it, this is the time as I believe I too have the Spirit of the living Elohim within me that He is shaking the foundations of all for all to see who or what they stand upon. This is now the time where He shall thoroughly winnow through His threshing floors and only the wheat will remain. But even if we should be shaken it is only to be shaken out of what we once believed in to truly move into the true faith which is in Messiah Yeshua and the effective working of His Spirit in, through and to us.

2Co 3:11-12 For if that which is done away was glorious, much more that which remaineth is glorious. Seeing then that we have such hope, we use great plainness of speech:

It's certainly going to be interesting this season is. Praise Yahweh.
