Glory and Majesty

We're in the month of August now, two thirds of the year in now already. How fast the time flies and yet in this time of remembering I remember the marvellous works that Elohim has done throughout all these years for me, my family and loved ones. More so for myself of course since I'm not that privy into the affairs of others. But I see the mercy and the grace of my Lord Yeshua in bringing me out from the world and its systems to be able to freely serve Him here in the place which He has called me to: Glory Place Prayer Centre of Malaysia. 

From the beginning of the 5 years until now, leading up to already 6 years I can see the sovereign hand of my Elohim upon me to have led me thus far. Strangely enough although it's been 5 years, close to 6 years serving Him I find myself still having to learn so much and to be moulded by Him more and more still. Of all the things which I gained, it feels like it's still just the tip of the iceberg and that there's still so much I have yet to experience and receive. 

Looking back on my posts 5 years ago and even remembering how I was and looking at myself now, there's definitely been change that had taken place in my life by the working of the Holy Spirit. And I have gone through much, although compared to my peers in the faith it's still minuscule in comparison. However I remember the times I've struggled, engaged in my own personal warfare, had deliverance and healing taking place, the times where it was so difficult and everyday was just an internal warfare but Yahweh has brought me through each and every single one until today, now. He is faithful, He is faithful indeed. The very fact I can stand here and continue to serve Him still is most definitely a miracle by Him for me. 

I've experienced also many blessings, much less material and more the immaterial. The things which the world cannot give me I have received and experienced and enjoyed, and I have not regretted stepping foot out of the world one bit. Peace, life, healing, power, joy, love, an overbearing patience, forgiveness, cleansing, the glory of the kingdom, visions, dreams, the breakthrough of nations, peoples, and families and much more than I can even recount. I've been to places dreamed of, I've seen things written in the Word come to pass before my very eyes, I've seen how the presence of Yahweh changes a person so much just like how Saul became Paul. I'm blessed, really, really blessed. 

You know, this sort of post maybe I should have waited until I've hit 6 years on the mark before I write this but even so I felt like giving thanks to Yeshua for bringing me thus far. And I know that surely He will bring me to the end of the road, for this is what He has promised me. That I will be taken care of and those with me so long as I continue to walk the path He has paved for me. His footfalls have become my pathway and His Word lights up the night around me. Praise Him for all goodness and glory belongs to Him and yet He gives it to us as well. Praise Yeshua.

Perpetual Shalom

I have not written for over 20 days and now it's nearing the end of July already. How fast the time flies, there was so much to do and to be done and even I was completing my cleansing and deliverance. The durian season is already over and now we enter into a time of renewed vigour to wage war against the enemy of our souls. I really want to praise Yahweh that He has brought me through what had to be one of the most intense cleansing and deliverance that I have ever experienced and I have received my breakthrough. Having completed the 21 days of Daniel's fast and also my cleansing I found that my taste buds and smell has changed. The things I used to find pleasant are not so any more and now I find that it's more enjoyable to not eat many a times than to eat much. I had never thought that such a breakthrough would be possible for me but it is and it is now. Praise Yahweh. 

On another note, I found that my life has become more peaceful. Sure, there are still times when I might get upset or irritated but now I find that there's a perpetual peace within me, not as the world gives and neither can it take away. I've got peace like a river in my soul, more than just a verse it has become reality. Praise Yahweh. 

Isaiah 66:12

[12] For thus says YAHWEH: “Behold, I will extend peace to her like a river, And the glory of the Gentiles like a flowing stream. Then you shall feed; On her sides shall you be carried, And be dandled on her knees.

Durians Week 4, Esther's Fast Day 3, Daniel's Fast Day 17

Wow. I think this might be the longest that I haven't written anything thus far. A lot of things have happened recently and there's a lot to write down. But we all must start somewhere so I shall start here... 

The durian season has picked up the pace these past few weeks, with Week 2 and 3 being the most hectic and most abundant of weeks filled with durians. We had to go up the mountain and back down on an average of 3 times a day: one in the early morning, another in the late morning and the last round in the afternoon. Tiring though it was to bring them down carefully we also had to continue working to open the fruits and pack them since they can't be stored for more than two days before their flavours run. So on an average our working day starts from 8am to 5pm, just like an everyday man. But praise Yahweh that now we have hit the peak season and are coming down slowly. The fruits though there are still plenty are not as many as before. Hence, we've been given grace and leeway to work from 9am to 3pm with going up the hills only twice now. Praise Yahweh for His sustenance and strength throughout the peak season. I had no idea how we managed to pull through everyday and yet we did. Surely tis a miracle, I say! 

Have you ever joined a Daniel fast before? According to Daniel 10 in the Bible, Daniel ate no pleasant food nor did he drink any wine during the 3 weeks he was mourning and fasting for his nation's redemption. 

Daniel 10:2-3

[2] In those days I, Daniel, was mourning three full weeks.

[3] I ate no pleasant food, no meat or wine came into my mouth, nor did I anoint myself at all, till three whole weeks were fulfilled.

That's what we were called to join in this time and season of the Holy Spirit as He leads us altogether. So we did it. I forgot when we had started but now we are in Day 17 of it. What do I say about this fast? Hmmm... First off no salt and sugar for they are pleasant food, no meat, no processed food or drink at all. Only fruits and vegetables and unprocessed grains, nuts and beans. At first I was a bit sceptical about this, whether or not there would be any flavour whatsoever and surprisingly there was. Vegetables and fruits have their own natural sweetness and savoury flavours that normally get covered up by salt and sugar and other seasonings. The food I had eaten was good, in fact I came to enjoy myself during this fast. And besides the food reminds of the times we had eaten meals in the Holy Land. It was quite similar in that there was the great usage of fruit and vegetables in their diet, the lack of salt and sugar overall in their food, and the not eating of shellfish and some other kinds of meat. All in all, I really enjoyed this time that we could fast the Daniel fast for 21 days. 

However, when we came to our staff's monthly Esther fasting and prayer everything changed. The warfare suddenly spiked to an unrelenting level so much so that almost everyone was going through some sort of cleansing and deliverance throughout the past 2 days. Even for myself it was a real struggle. At first I had thought that my cleansing came earlier than everyone else's since I had mine on Tuesday and it was really intense. I was up the whole night just waging warfare and rebuking the enemy that I didn't sleep that night except for 2 hours or so. The pain was real and furious as I continued to reject and drive it out of me before I received my deliverance from it early in the morning that Tuesday. 

It has come again albeit in a different form, feverish symptoms and aches in the joints and coughing. My head felt burning but my feet were like soaking in ice water, so cold. Even now as I write I'm continuing to destroy the enemy seeking to oppress and harass me. I will not stand for this! And nearly everyone else is going through their own warfare as well. Such is the intensity this time that I believe that the breakthrough shall be immense as well. The Daniel and Esther fast have one thing in common, for the great turnaround of the nation itself and surely that's what we all who are doing it believe shall happen. Hence, the warfare coming in like floods upon us. But we are not afraid not perturbed, we know we have the victory and surely we shall see the breakthrough very soon. All we need to do is to continue to hold onto our Lord Yeshua Messiah and look to Him and not our conditions. We shall stand. Praise Yahweh. I look forward to the closing of the two fasts that surely we shall see great and mighty things which we do not know. Praise Yahweh for His mercy endures forever!

Durians Week 1

We've just begun our durian season once more here in Glory Place. Although we had estimated that it would begin the first week of July, instead the fruits have begun to fall earlier than we had expected and now it seems that by the end of July we will finish the season indefinitely. 

You know, although I never told anyone I had thoughts that the number of durians falling would severely outweigh the number of personnel that we have to go and collect them but that is not the case, praise Yahweh! As many as were helping were as many as the number of trees that were ripening and falling at the same time. Meaning each person had to look after one tree. Of course we are just in the first week of the season so many more will begin to fall from now on, however I am assured that somehow some way Yahweh will cause all things to work together for good. Praise Yahweh. 

During the first day, it was especially tiring for me to have to go up the hill three times in a row but as the days went on my body immediately got used to it at a brisk pace. Now, I can easily go up three times everyday. Once in the morning at 8am, second time at 11am and once more at 1pm before I can be dismissed to prepare for my watch at 4pm. I had expected for myself the days to be long and arduous but they aren't. Instead I found that they're moving at a really fast pace. The days are filled with niceties and pleasantries. I am enjoying myself thoroughly.

25 Years

Yesterday was my 25th birthday, I'm 25 now. There isn't much to write home about that particular day now. Back then I used to put so much emphasis on celebrating my birthday, that we should have a party, some food and games and all that usual stuff. But as I got older or more specifically as I continued to stay here in Glory Place I didn't see the great need to celebrate it as I used to. But I'd much rather now to just have a quiet meal with my family and loved ones and I would consider that to be a birthday well spent. 

Honestly, that day passed by quite briskly and perhaps the highlight of it was when I was prayed for by Pastor Jean and she released the anointing to me. I could sense the fire coming down upon me even as she was still praying and I was beginning to sweat even though it was a cool night I felt hot. That night for the Friday overnight worship it felt real easy to worship and just to let the Holy Spirit take over. In fact, that was what happened last night so I didn't feel drained or tired out but rather I was refreshed in the presence of Yahweh. Praise Yahweh, another birthday has come and gone and now I'm 25. One step closer...

Time of Gathering Strength

Wow, okay I've not written much for this past month. But mainly because there's nothing of note to write about in this season and time. What I can say is that now is the time to stock up, not physically but spiritually with the Word of Yahweh. Because very soon we'll begin to see things suddenly changing or suddenly shifting in unexpected directions and everyone will be caught unawares. Except of course for those who know the Word of Elohim. This is the season where what is written will surely come to pass and we need to make sure to take stock of it ourselves. Immerse ourselves in the Word of Elohim, and find pleasure and rest in His presence because the time will come where it will be very precious indeed and those who have not cultivated time with the Lord Yeshua will be found short handed in such times we're living in. 

Actually, that's about all I have to say at this moment in time. Right now, is a time where nothing is seemingly going on but the undercurrents in the spiritual realm are beginning to move and stir itself up. Now's the time to be found in the house of Yahweh, in His secret place indeed. 

Psalms 27:4-6

[4] One thing I have desired of YAHWEH, That will I seek: That I may dwell in the house of YAHWEH. All the days of my life, To behold the beauty of YAHWEH, And to inquire in His temple.

[5] For in the time of trouble He shall hide me in His pavilion; In the secret place of His tabernacle He shall hide me; He shall set me high upon a rock.

[6] And now my head shall be lifted up above my enemies all around me; Therefore I will offer sacrifices of joy in His tabernacle; I will sing, yes, I will sing praises to YAHWEH.

Reflection

Next week we'll be having yet another special Yeshua Heals Healing & Deliverance Services during the weekend. And it's today that we will officially wrap up the 40 days of our fasting. In the beginning, the time really was so slow and it felt like each day was just crawling. But now, it feels like I'm not even fasting any more. Sure, I do get hunger pangs every now and then but I know that I have the power and authority in the name of Yeshua to subject my body to my own will and it must listen. 

There's really not much to write about at this time since now everything has gone back to its pace and that's not a bad thing. It's been a long time since I was able to fully wage warfare against the enemy and not allow them to simply overcome me. But now having received so much cleansing and deliverance during these 40 days I can feel strength rising up within me and the Holy Spirit giving me the strength to persevere, endure and to overcome them. Such things I remember I once had when I first began my serving of Yahweh but somewhere along the way I must have lost touch with that. Thank Yahweh for restoring the strength in these much needed times. Take over oh Lord Yeshua...
