Matthew 28:18-20
18 Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.
19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,
20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."
OK, I think each and everyone of us has already well-known on this topic and what is it about, yeah, the great commission from Jesus Christ.
But I would like to share something which I have learn about this topic.
The word "commission", is originally a combination word from command + mission. Which means Jesus command us into a mission. And what we gonna do is just obey His command, then finish the mission.
In this case we have to find out some main words contain in the verses.
Verse 18 - Authority
Verse 19 - Make Disciples
Verse 19 - Baptize
Verse 20 - Teach them to obey everything
Verse 20 - To the very end of the age
In this case we could see that what Jesus had did is:
First, He had authorized us. In verse 18 He said that all authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Him. It is all unto His name and when we carry His name and walk out on the street, we spread the gospel and do whatever things that related to glorify His name, at the same time we're carrying the authority with us.
Secondly, make disciples of ALL NATIONS! It's ALL NATIONS. Not only in Malaysia, not only in Taiwan, not only in America, but it's ALL! What does it mean? One thing we have to know is what comes before disciples? Isn't it is from a normal believer? A believer does not really equal to the disciples of Jesus Christ. A believer means, those Christians just only attend Sunday service on weekend and act like a normal person without God and holiness on weekdays. This word "making disciples of all nations", contained 2 things God told us to do,
1. Evangelism
2. Teaching
Thirdly, baptize. Jesus told us to baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. This is actually quite simple, while our cell member or any simply Christians who are yet to baptize, what we need to do is letting them know the importance and the meaning of being baptized. Baptize is actually to receive a seal in the spiritual realm from the Holy Spirit. And then until the day comes, we will be recognized that we have the seal of the Spirit on us!
Forth, teach them to obey everything that Jesus Christ had commanded us. From here I could see that God not only wants us to teach our disciple about what God had teach us, and also He wants us to help our disciple on letting them know how to build a RELATIONSHIP with Him. The source of why the disciples of Jesus Christ on that day will be able to receive His words and able stay close with Him, it is just because they had a RELATIONSHIP with God.
Lastly, to the very end of the age. This is a promise and covenant made by God Himself. He said that He will be with us, until the end of the age. This is simple and easy to understand. End of the age, in Chinese is 直到世界的末了. Which is means until our breath runs dry!
I hope that each and everyone of us are willing to response to God whenever we heard what He had commanded us. Therefore, God's will will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Amen!

Knowing - Watch this movie with your spiritual eyes opened!
I had watch this movie in the afternoon with best buddy of mine, KC. I don't know what is his feeling towards this movie, he just told me that there is too much of mystery and a lot of question mark (?) on this movie. But for me, I saw something really incredible and a message from God.
In this movie, when a teacher (Nicolas Cage) opens a time capsule that was dug up recently in his son's elementary school, he discovers that it contains some chilling and strange predictions about the future. Some events have already occurred and some are yet to unfold. The discoveries then lead him into believing that his family plays a role in the events that are about to unfold. Those things that predict the future is a group of numbers and some kid are chosen to able to listen to those voice that tells them about the numbers.
A girl named Lucinda, is the girl heard those chilling voices and then wrote down all the numbers into a paper 50 years ago until Nicolas Cage's son got it from the time capsule. Soon then Nicolas Cage's son is able to heard the chilling voices. And then strange people out of nowhere, friend of mine said it is Alien, but for me I think it is Angel. Because in the very end, his son said a word,"He only brings who is willing to answer the calling." This word is actually the main point of the whole story, which I think that God is trying to tell the whole world.
"He only brings who is willing to answer the calling."
Bring to where? Haha! Watch the movie yourself as I'm not reporting the whole movie right here. And then I found out some similar movie there is about the end time like Armageddon, The Day after Tomorrow and Independence Day. These films has a similarity, which is all about the end time. People cannot predict how the end time is, but the bible did tells us how the end time gonna be.
Matthew 24:21
For then there will be great distress, unequaled from the beginning of the world until now—and never to be equaled again.
Matthew 24:29
Immediately after the distress of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light the stars will fall from the sky, and the heavenly bodies will be shaken.
God is actually trying to tell the whole world through the media society that His day is near and it has to be come very soon! But who is willing to answer His calling and then enter into His kingdom?
Those who willing to answer His calling will be able to see His face! Amen!
Being Somebody - April 13, 2009
Out of an expectation that I will post this kind of topic, just because I recall who I used to be, where I used to live. But in God's grace, Amen, I am able and have the capacity to post this title, Being Somebody.
People often loves to think that how they hope to be somebody. Like fans of Jay Chou hopes to sing like him; fans of a rock band hopes to play like the band or etc. This kind of attitude is good and correct in this generation, just because young people will improve themselves by this.
Some other people may thought this is a negative attitude which is so called "copy-cat". Well but I don't think so. In the bible, Elishah learns Elijah, Joshua learns Moses, them both inherit the greatness of their leader and their ideal model and in the end, them both achieve a higher standard or level than their leader had achieved. Then the other benefit for being a follower is, they can polish the bad things or negative image or attitude which their leader had. Then finally not only they can be like how their leader is, and also greater than their leader used to be!
While I was reading the bible few moments ago, I read a chapter 11 in one of the 4 gospels, it was saying that if the city yet to repent, the city will be in trouble. After reading that, I asked God, how to repent? God answered me, "I will raise up watchmen for this city and you, Paul, you must pray and repent for this city before me."
Then I think, oh yeah, both Cindy Jacobs and Jaeson Ma was doing the same thing, which is they're willing to answer God's calling and obey the commands, then finally the place they was prayed are being saved by God! Amen! Let's me feels that I want to be like them and I want be achieve more than them! Like Pastor Philip Mantofa, he had great faith on God until he can bring up a great revival in Surabaya, Indonesia. I believe with the faith that God has given in me, revival will come into Malaysia.
I believe this post is for whom has ears and had heard to receive. Buddies always thought that I am being too holy sometimes or too into the spiritual man (属灵）, well I admit sometimes I am, because why? If you want to be somebody, you must think like somebody. If I wants to be a youth pastor, I have to think like a youth pastor! Amen!

Holiness (by Paul Yap) - March 23, 2009
1 Peter 1:16 "Be holy, because I am holy."
Leviticus 19:2 "Be holy because I, the LORD your God, am holy."
We could see in the bible that God keeps on emphasize that we must be holy, we must be holy. People might think that being holiness is some kind of difficult, something really impossible and it cannot be done by a human body itself.
I don't know do we ever asked ourselves or other people in the term of business. Terms like who, what, why, where, when & how. Well, I have thought about this and I think I get the answers. It is just from my self learning.
Who = Ourselves (of course)
What = Our spirit, soul & body
Why = To attract Holy Spirit and apart away from the evil spirit
Where = In the presence of God
When = Every single minute
How = Stay spirit awaken all the time
This is just my point of view..I don't know how the others thought, but I think this could be accurate to live in a life of holiness.
The word of God keeps on telling us that be holy because God is holy. What I can see is, God is actually loving us all the time. As I mentioned, people always think that live in a life of holiness is something sounds impossible and difficult, sometimes men even complain about why God put this "burden" for men. Well, I could see people whom asked this question is blinded in their spiritual eyes. Again, men would ask questions like, "If Jesus Christ is so good and if He loves me so much, why would He just kept on asking us to do something which is really difficult for us, isn't He is God and He can do all things?". People always complain about this kind of matters. Well, I can give a very simple parable on this issue.
If you want something which you really long to have it and feel like can't live without it and you know your daddy can get it for you, will you just ask your daddy once? Aren't you will ask your daddy until he get it for you?
Remember, action shows sincerity and hunger brings out actions.
BUT! You might ask, what to do with holiness? Aren't it's like out of topic??
NO! You can see this in the sight in this world living right now. Another parable could be given easily.
If you did something which is really rebellious and piss your dad off, do you think your daddy will approve your any request of beneficial to yourself but it is harmful?
Aren't you think that if you're clean and good, your dad will give you anything you want and not harmful?
This is exactly the same thing with why God want us to live in holiness. Once we're holy, not only we can listen to God's voice clearly, we can even more understand His will and His project in us, by this, complaints will lesser and no more. Not only that, we can even ask for more all the time from God. Our God is a God with full of generosity, nothing is too hard in Him. And holiness is also a direct connectivity with God. "be Holy, because I am Holy."
Holy + Holy = Connected.
This is why God asked us to be holy, at the mean time, which also mean that God wants us to connect with Him!
Amen?!
Amen!

在这当中，既无声响也无形体，
惟有主权的神，出来判断清浊之分，

"Of old in the beginning, there was the great chaos, without form and dark.
The five planets had not begun to revolve, nor the two lights to shine.
In the midst of it there existed neither form nor sound.
You, O spiritual Sovereign, came forth in Your sovereignty, and first did separate the impure from the pure.
You made heaven; You made earth; You made man.
All things became alive with reproducing power."

The source of a rebellious of a child - January 21, 2009
A month ago, my cousins from Australia came back for vacation, it's their school break, which break for 3 and a half months...gosh, how I wish that I could study in Australia so can have such a long break.
Absolutely they will say at my house for few days and then stay at their dad's house for few days, switching here and there. During the days those kids stay at my home, I totally saw how am I being treated or so call "educated" by my grandma and relatives.
Poor both of my cousins are totally experiencing the same every single "educating system". It's like this:
1.)Forced to do something which they don't really want to.
2.)Beaten up like hell just to teach them to do this and that (of course they are naughty sometimes, but kids are like that, agree?)
3.)Yell at them while they look up sad and unhappy, then when they try to explain or answer back, due to the Chinese traditional culture, it is a rude reaction, then the situation worsen.
This is just part of the "educating system" they experienced, it is totally a big difference if compare to my childhood, interested knowing? Well, like it or not, I would like to share out so that readers could know how I have my childhood and hope you guys do not treat your children like this, no matter in spiritual or biological.
Continue in:
4.)Slap on the face until my face got swollen and my ears gone deaf for couple of hours.
5.)Kneel before the idol with the matches branches placed on my knee for 2-3 hours. (Imagine that pain, try it if you wanna know how it feels.)
6.)In the situation of number 5, at the same time, my feet is whack heavily with a cane for times which I couldn't even remember, just remember that both of my feet are swollen with the traces of the cane.
7.)Scrub my lips with chili.
8.)Threaten by using a knife to cut of my fingers, which the knife had already placed on my fingers.
9.)Beaten up like hell with a mosquito bat until the iron breaks out. (Praise God that the battery inside the mosquito bat was taken out by dunno who, if not, I will suffer another electricity pain.)
10.)Always being ordered to do this or that, while don't know or do it wrongly, will beaten up again.
I do not deny that I am being rude or naughty on that days, is it my fault actually? Due to my cousins, I don't see there is any fault on them, so do I. But this is not the way to teach our children.
I think that's all to stat, really suffering to recall this, but I want the whole world to know that, never treat your spiritual or biological children like this, if not, things will always turn upside down when it goes to a maximum. That is why now I afraid nothing in physical and so angry while I see a parent teaching their children in an aggressive way.
Praise God that God had saved me from suffering and set me free, so that I could fly on the sky with Christ the Lord. Amen.

哥林多前书5:6-8
6你们这自夸是不好的。岂不知一点面酵能使全团发起来麽？
7你们既是无酵的面，应当把旧酵除净，好使你们成为新团；因为我们逾越节的羔羊基督已经被杀献祭了。
8所以，我们守这节不可用旧酵，也不可用恶毒（或作：阴毒）、邪恶的酵，只用诚实真正的无酵饼。
。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。
阿门。最近神一直不断地在告诉我这段经文，我也一直在祷告到底神要告诉我的是什么东西，而且我从前读这段经文的时候也是不明白保罗所指的是什么东西。
直到最近几天，发生了件非常无聊而且不成熟的事件，要知道什么事私底下找我就好了。
保罗第六节一开始就说了，“你们这自夸是不好的，”。保罗所指的，“自夸”，这两个字，其实还包容了私底下的事情，除了自己赞美自己，还包含了一种语素就是，“在私底下夸耀、夸大、夸语”。当自夸出现，就等于是伤亡的起源。
接下去他说到，“岂不知一点面酵能使全团发起来么？”。这句真理非常简单，如果我把这句比喻说成，“岂不知你所说的一句话能使人跌倒么？”感觉怎么样呢？是否属灵的眼睛被神的话语开启了？若不，去祷告吧！保罗最严厉责备和教导的教会就是哥林多教会，因为当中有人犯了奸淫和许多的恶行，直到保罗也问他们，当他到访哥林多教会的时候，是愿意他带着刑杖去，还是愿意他存着慈爱温柔的心去。
那使全团面发起来的酵啊，你们是要我保持存着温柔爱你们的心呢，还是持着刑杖与你们对辨呢？难道你们以为我没有权柄如此做吗？
继续保罗就说，“你们既是无酵的面，应当把旧酵除净，好使你们成为新团；因为我们逾越节的羔羊基督已经被杀献祭了"。哇，这句我喜欢！既然已经被基督的血洗净了，就成为新团！新团就是pure & clean!Without any unnecessary rubbish items on the flour!就像初生婴孩一样的纯洁！
同时候就是说那些使人跌倒的事情、话语、动作、情感和态度也就别再做了！因为既然基督已从死里复活，为咱们流了宝血，就当知道基督已经洗净了我们！不然基督的死就枉然了！
再来在第8节，“所以，我们守这节不可用旧酵，也不可用恶毒（或作：阴毒）、邪恶的酵，只用诚实真正的无酵饼”。这个我更喜欢，不可用恶毒、邪恶！恶毒和邪恶者两个字本身都够Evil了，在读清楚这四个字，有两个字是同样一起出现的，就是“恶”。在诗篇，凡是被称为恶人的，无论男女，信与未信，都是一样承受一个结局，死。
可能对某些在读这post的人，感觉会很深，有些应该不会。但是我还是奉劝一句，别成为一个使别人跌倒，使人与人之间感情破裂，把团队与世界搞得一塌糊涂的害群之马，别让基督的血枉流了！
6你们这自夸是不好的。岂不知一点面酵能使全团发起来麽？
7你们既是无酵的面，应当把旧酵除净，好使你们成为新团；因为我们逾越节的羔羊基督已经被杀献祭了。
8所以，我们守这节不可用旧酵，也不可用恶毒（或作：阴毒）、邪恶的酵，只用诚实真正的无酵饼。

再来在第8节，“所以，我们守这节不可用旧酵，也不可用恶毒（或作：阴毒）、邪恶的酵，只用诚实真正的无酵饼”。这个我更喜欢，不可用恶毒、邪恶！恶毒和邪恶者两个字本身都够Evil了，在读清楚这四个字，有两个字是同样一起出现的，就是“恶”。在诗篇，凡是被称为恶人的，无论男女，信与未信，都是一样承受一个结局，死。
可能对某些在读这post的人，感觉会很深，有些应该不会。但是我还是奉劝一句，别成为一个使别人跌倒，使人与人之间感情破裂，把团队与世界搞得一塌糊涂的害群之马，别让基督的血枉流了！
2008 ---> 2009
There's been a lot of things happen in year 2008, plenty of changes happens, plenty of problems occur, plenty of promotion... Yeah...is time to recall it back what had happen during year 2008...
The days after I back from the NS Camp, which I been there for only 3 weeks, still remember clearly in my mind, that day when I was back to church, I'm being left out and boycott by the gangs, because of something happen which I did very wrong on that period, even youth church leaders (except for my cell leader & IP. David) let me feels that they treat me by a "special" attitude...absolutely a negative one. Forget it, it is just for recall, no longer important.
Then been dragging my date enter to college, because I was wanted to get my driving license then only I start my college life, yeah at last I do so but already dragged a long period of time. But then during the period, I was worked as a full time volunteer at church, from Tuesday till Friday, 9 to 5 and 7:30 to 5, although is not easy but I love the days.
And then wait until KC back from his NS Camp, Calvin once again help him to refresh what he has learned during his cell leader class, then at the same time teaching me the lesson as well, then we both could able to open up a cell group. In just 2 weeks time (if I am not mistaken), me & KC had totally finished up the cell leader training lesson, which the others have to take 3 months time to complete it.
Then finally during April, we had open up a cell group, which my cell have De Lon, Joshua Au, Wei Jia, Asa, Han Yuan. Praise God, in just a short period of time, my cell group have expanded to 5 cell members. Because De Lon did not join in in the earlier time, he accept Christ once again during the mid year. Praise God!!
Then A4J...Ring of Fire & The Call (Indonesia)...Encounter Camp...G12 Retreat Camp (I lost my jeans in this 2D 1N camp :(...Youth Camp...Caroling...Xmas Party...New Year Eve.... There had been a lot of things happens....lazy to type...
But then what I wanna thank God so much is, once in a leader meeting, I pledge my cell members will have 7 person in the end of year 2008, Praise God!! I have a total of 8 cell members in the end of year 2008!! Thank God to the Youth Camp, that my cell members could increase!!
Well, although there are a lot of new comers, I don't take them as very difficult to lead them, I could see that it is a very good chance of learning how to pastoral a cell group members! Haha!! Thank God! New challenge! New things to learn! Amen!!
Then what is my target for year 2009...well, let's see....
*To have a closer relationship with God
*To be a mature song leader
*To be a great cell leader
*To write 5 songs
*To be a great soldier
*Stay alert always
*Want to be an interpreter, if church leaders allows me to.
*Train up more great leaders in my cell group
*Have closer relationship with my cell members
*Love Jerusalem
*Know the will of God
*Try to persist in not to couple with any girls, even though how much I love her...
Well, I think that is a lot enough to archive...God please grant me strength to score this goal...
Amen..!

We are the end time prophet Elijah! - December 20, 2008
Book of Prophet Malachi, chapter 4:5-6
["See, I will send you the prophet Elijah before that great and dreadful day of the LORD comes. 6 He will turn the hearts of the fathers to their children, and the hearts of the children to their fathers; or else I will come and strike the land with a curse."]
Just been through a camp that full of the Almighty God's presence. Which is held by our vary own church, GA611 Bread of Life, it is a youth camp. God's presence was just so strong that no one could deny. There are a lot of youth turn their life back to Christ, although there are still people who hasn't believe in Christ yet, but I believe God's love had already take a part of place in their life.
Today which is the last day, I finally found that we do have the hearts of the fathers. My whole group had been together for 4 days and 3 nights, we do all things together, share together, laugh together, pray together, eat together, together together and together!! As I lead them, I found that God had taught me a lesson to learn to have the hearts of the fathers in the end time.
The last session of the camp, it was a sharing among each members in each group. I praise God and thank God that I could see my team members changed from the first day. From we don't know each other, we don't talk to each other, until the end they support each other, helping each other, touched by the Lord one by one, tears fall one by one. Amen!
Until my group members share on stage, both also my beloved members, De Lon and Zhen Wei. I see them both grow in 3 days divinely and seeing them both support and learning from each other. At the end which touch me is, they felt thankful to me. I don't mean to be proud of myself, just God shows me that He had taught me a lesson of the hearts of the fathers in the end time, yes, I learned.
Then when is our turn, the 8 leaders went up on stage to share our thoughts. I have already tried my best to maintain my smileys, to breath deeply every time when I spoke, cause I don't want to cry! I believe the other 6 leaders were trying their best to stay still too. But The second last leader to share, KC, unfortunately, he can't stand and cry out so loud!
Gosh...then 7 of us who was trying our best to stay still can't stand anymore, just release our tension and just cry out loud! Because I knew that we all have the same mind set at the same time!
We miss our members! We love our members! We have compassion on our member! We take them all as our children! We love them!!
We! 8 leaders! Paul, KC, Jacky, ZiKang, Leon, Louis, David, Ming Jun! As I representing them and proclaim! We have the hearts of the fathers of the end time and we will turn our hearts to our children and we do believe our children will turn their heart to us! Amen!

Prophet Cindy Jacob's sermon during the Ring of Fire Convergence in Jakarta 2008 (just a 10 minutes video grabbed from YouTube) - December 9, 2008
Power of Holiness - Cindy Jacob
.....The river of God was pure. Many years ago I had a vision, and I had a vision of God that this river was pure and so beautiful, and I was just enjoying looking at this river. And I saw people come to the edge of the river, and forgive me this is the very graphic thing I saw. But I saw they throw up in the river(vomit), and I saw they throw garbage from their house into the river, and that was completely polluted. And I said,"What is that?" He(God) said this is people's jealousies, fighting against each other, illegal sexual sense, and the church, Idolatry. And nations. And I saw this river flow and I saw the people and the children getting into that river. And they were singing worships songs. You know in my days "I got a river flowing" some kind of songs, "Oh let it rain! Let it poured! Jesus!". And they got into that dirty river, and they were like drinking it and pouring it on themselves, but the river was polluted! But nobody knows, because they used to the taste of pollution. They didn't know what pure water taste like. And this vision I had I saw the body of Christ get out of the river and fall asleep at the river edge, nobody care what it happen to the river. And there is river flow down and i saw tree a side the river. And there was a part of this vision I don't understand until just tonight. I saw fruit on the streets, I realize what the fruit represent, was character, is holiness, is the fruit of Holy Spirit, be patience, is non suffering, is kindness, is holiness. And without holiness we won't see God.
And then after while I saw this river flow, and I saw just a couple of come and build a big water purification plan. I believe, that vision I had is for this moment. I believe it represent your generation. it say:
"We not gonna have a polluted river, we're not gonna drink dirty water, we are gonna clean it up, we gonna love each other, we are gonna walk together in unity, we are not gonna be jealous, we are not gonna sex before marriage, we are not gonna be drunken, we are gonna be different."
And so I saw them build this purification plan. And I saw just a little while the water is coming out from the plan. Very pure. Finally is like Ezekiel 47 it says, out of the temple came pure water. The water came to their knees and the water came so high until they can swim in the water.
And in this vision I began to hear laughter. I saw it is coming from children in the river, and I understand this. Listen to me, the next generation, if you obey God, if you do what God says, you will clean up what my(Cindy Jacob) generation did. And you are going to prepare the children greatest revival the earth has ever seen.
But you have to sainttify yourself. Time of judgment to begin in the house of God. God wants to use you as a chosen generation. He wants you to be part of group that say "Holy Holy Holy who is the God Lord Almighty"(Book of Revelation). Saintify yourself.
And the Lord shows me there is supernatural anointing in this generation to set people free from every kind of addiction. Addiction to drugs, alcohol, sexual addictions, homosexuality, bisexuality, is time to clean up the river, is time to clean up the media. Now I don't know how you follow over here but you probably watch American movies and television. When Madonna kiss Britney Spears, she red her life. There was a spirit of bisexuality that loose upon your generation and lesbianism.
And I want to tell you something tonight, if your generation doesn't rise up, there is gonna be a God's judgment reigns to the earth and unspeakable!
Be Holy, be holy! Saintify yourself! Because tomorrow God will do wonders!
*That is all in this 10 minutes video clip.*
Thank God just only 10 minutes, it take me 30 minutes to do this, hope will help you readers, Amen.

Thank God! I'm keen to learn! - December 6, 2008
Today, first time leading Worship so long since I lead Praise for a month....
Thank God, this this truly a time managed by God.
Because the days when I was leading praise, I always seek for feedback or comments from my leader, so that I will be able to improve myself. Yeah, thank God that God leads me not bad in praise. But I also receive comment from my Cell Leader, thank God =)
Then tonight, first day IP. David back from Hong Kong and speak on GA Youth, I can feel that his anointing and his spirit has grown up greatly. There are something different during his sermon than before, not a big difference, maybe there isn't any difference in the way he talk. But still, there is difference, and it is good.
Then today the first time I lead worship. Not that I want to lead worship then I told Daniel that I want to lead worship. It's there is a touch in me and Daniel that I wants to lead worship.(Maybe there is a touch in Daniel, I don't know, but when I ask Daniel whether I can lead worship this Saturday or not, he said that he is just going to tell me to lead).
However, just right after the service, IP. David just call all the P&W-per and Emcees go on stage and giving us feedback. What I could say is the feedback and comment is a great impact for me and thank God that God wants me to learn how to worship Him! Hallelujah! Finally my dream have come true! What I always look for, what I always ask for, just right today, God give it to me via IP. David! Amen !!
Then just now when I bathing, God so love me....that He said a word that I don't even understand at the moment.
"Receiving feedback and comments, is another way of compliment."
Thank God....finally I understood what this word means....
Which means, while you are doing good, there is another way of telling you that you are doing good instead of giving you comments.
Hallelujah! Thank God!

A Chat - A Learned - A Divine Discipleship - December 4, 2008
I've been told that I must write down this message, I don't know why, maybe it's just to remind myself when I read this post in the future, don't know, but I just obey the One who taught me and just post it down right now.
I got this when I went to gym yesterday and suddenly out of no where my mind keep on thinking about the street evangelism in the past days, why we all like doing nothing, yes, we do gain experience, but we can do more than just gaining experience. With the spirit of God, who knows? And I found out that we even attended a class about how to spread the gospel and reaching out to the others. Yes, it is good to attend the class, but that is just the formula to spread the gospel, what I could say is, it didn't work at all, yes, at all.
I got a title divinely when I was on the running machine.
The title is: Learn Evangelistic through the book of Acts.
Let me briefly explain what I know about the beginning of the book of Acts. Book of Acts is the book which Jesus Christ Himself back to heaven (Acts 1:9). Before He went back to heaven, the last word He said to His disciples, which is a scripture that we all know very well and familiar with,
[But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth."]
Do you ever realize that after Jesus said that word, there is no chance for His disciples to ask how the Holy Spirit is gonna fill upon them and what will happen when the Holy Spirit fill upon them. There is no chance for them to how they gonna witness God's work. I believe there is a lot of question in the disciples on that days, I don't know, but if I was there, seriously I won't understood. But praise God, in chapter 2, the Holy Spirit fill upon the people on the Pentecost day, and everyone speak in tongue.(Nah, not gonna explain about this.)
And then what to do with we gonna spread the gospel and testify God you might say, yes, there is related with verse 8 of chapter 1. We MUST fill with the Holy Spirit everyday and single hour DAILY and let His work done in us and there will be testimony for God, then there goes testifying for God!
Conclude of the first criteria,
Fill with the Holy Spirit in our live and let the Holy Ghost done His work on us, and let us testify the result of His work.
Secondly, the power from Holy Spirit. (So as in verse 8) What kind of power will we receive from the Holy Ghost? Of course it included spiritual gifts and spiritual position. But I just saying 1 result of the power here is, the power of spreading the gospel as known as evangelism. When we have the first criteria in us, filled with the Spirit of God, we will have the power at the same time as well, to testify for God!
See, it is related! When we receive the power and we testify WITH the power, the scenario in Acts chapter 2:41 will happen.(Open up the bible and read it yourself, not gonna post, as you open the bible by yourself, you will remember it.)
Conclude for the second criteria,
Receive the power from God as we filled with the Holy Spirit and testify WITH the power.
Thirdly, what kind of attitude must we carry when we evangelistic(spreading the gospel) to the others, it's the attitude of GIVING.
Acts chapter 3 verse 6 :[Then Peter said, "Silver or gold I do not have, but what I have I give you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, walk."]
I don't meaning that when you walking on the street, and you saw someone who is crippled, you say the same word to that person. Yes if the Holy Spirit told you so. But what Peter was doing here? He is filled with the Holy Spirit, he has the power came from Holy Spirit, so what he did? He saw a crippled beggar and ask him to stare at him. And this, is as known as APPROACHING. Then the scenario of verse 6 happens.
Conclude of the third criteria,
Approach and give.
The forth, which is what we all need, boldness.
In the scenario of chapter 4, Peter and John face against the Sanhedrin. They were forced not to spread the gospel and the people threaten Peter and John, however, WITH the glory and grace of God, both of them did not being punished because there is no way to punish them.
After that, Peter and John beg for boldness from Jesus Christ.
Acts 4:29
[Now, Lord, consider their threats and enable your servants to speak your word with great boldness.]
I was thinking, even Jesus' disciples, whom follow Jesus and live with Jesus, crying out for boldness. We shall cry out for boldness either.
Conclude of forth criteria,
HUMBLE yourself before God and CRY out for BOLDNESS from God.
Lastly, which we are always been told but yet to do so, A UNITY OF PRAYERS.
Acts chapter 2:42;46-47 (open up .the love letter from God and read it so that you can be reminded.)
Here says that the disciples are having fellowship together, having the PRAYER time TOGETHER, always MEET TOGETHER and PRAISE GOD TOGETHER. This is what we seriously lack of! I believe when I try to say this out, there will be a lot of common response which is, "This is life,","Sometimes is not necessary,","We can do it although lack of these,","Don't worry, have faith on God."
That is why I post in on my blog
Amen
I do not dare to say that what I'm writing here is 100% acceptable and correct, but at least I share what I learned and is biblical.
Hit me back with comments, Amen.

Receive the power from God as we filled with the Holy Spirit and testify WITH the power.
Thirdly, what kind of attitude must we carry when we evangelistic(spreading the gospel) to the others, it's the attitude of GIVING.
Acts chapter 3 verse 6 :[Then Peter said, "Silver or gold I do not have, but what I have I give you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, walk."]
I don't meaning that when you walking on the street, and you saw someone who is crippled, you say the same word to that person. Yes if the Holy Spirit told you so. But what Peter was doing here? He is filled with the Holy Spirit, he has the power came from Holy Spirit, so what he did? He saw a crippled beggar and ask him to stare at him. And this, is as known as APPROACHING. Then the scenario of verse 6 happens.
Conclude of the third criteria,
Approach and give.
The forth, which is what we all need, boldness.
In the scenario of chapter 4, Peter and John face against the Sanhedrin. They were forced not to spread the gospel and the people threaten Peter and John, however, WITH the glory and grace of God, both of them did not being punished because there is no way to punish them.
After that, Peter and John beg for boldness from Jesus Christ.
Acts 4:29
[Now, Lord, consider their threats and enable your servants to speak your word with great boldness.]
I was thinking, even Jesus' disciples, whom follow Jesus and live with Jesus, crying out for boldness. We shall cry out for boldness either.
Conclude of forth criteria,
HUMBLE yourself before God and CRY out for BOLDNESS from God.
Lastly, which we are always been told but yet to do so, A UNITY OF PRAYERS.
Acts chapter 2:42;46-47 (open up .the love letter from God and read it so that you can be reminded.)
Here says that the disciples are having fellowship together, having the PRAYER time TOGETHER, always MEET TOGETHER and PRAISE GOD TOGETHER. This is what we seriously lack of! I believe when I try to say this out, there will be a lot of common response which is, "This is life,","Sometimes is not necessary,","We can do it although lack of these,","Don't worry, have faith on God."
That is why I post in on my blog
Amen
I do not dare to say that what I'm writing here is 100% acceptable and correct, but at least I share what I learned and is biblical.
Hit me back with comments, Amen.

Oil out of nowhere - October 11, 2008
11th of October, 2008 - This is the first day I lead worship at GA Youth and.....also miracle of anointed SPIRITUALLY by PHYSICALLY.
Day before today, I practice to lead worship everyday when I walking back home from college. Keep on practicing... keep on learning divinely... And then tonight... Praise God!! God helps me on my leading tonight!! Praise God for that!!
Returning back to my title, after I went back home after the service, I get into the bath room, unclothes, I felt my body is COVER WITH OIL!! Then I keep on to recall myself, whether did I get my body sweat during my worship time (people who close to me knows that I don't get sweat easily), and if I sweat, my body should be sticky but not oily! And while I'm thinking, suddenly a voice came to me," This is the anointing of God." Praise the Lord of Host !!! Thank You in the name of Jesus Christ! This is the first time ever I experienced the anointing of God physically and it is so true!! I can never deny this experience I had. It's just too true!!
But then I still have a word in my mind that is, " There are still a lot of space for me to improve myself !!"
Special thanks to Hanna & Lilian for both of them teach me a lot about leading song last time... Really appreciate them a lot.

Another learning of mine - September 24, 2008
I had to admit that I'm in such a comfort zone these days until I did not really study the bible. And then today, God Himself touch me and talk to me through His word, He is so real.
John 6:60~69
60On hearing it, many of his disciples said, "This is a hard teaching. Who can accept it?"
61Aware that his disciples were grumbling about this, Jesus said to them, "Does this offend you? 62What if you see the Son of Man ascend to where he was before! 63The Spirit gives life; the flesh counts for nothing. The words I have spoken to you are spirit and they are life. 64Yet there are some of you who do not believe." For Jesus had known from the beginning which of them did not believe and who would betray him. 65He went on to say, "This is why I told you that no one can come to me unless the Father has enabled him."
66From this time many of his disciples turned back and no longer followed him.
67"You do not want to leave too, do you?" Jesus asked the Twelve.
68Simon Peter answered him, "Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life. 69We believe and know that you are the Holy One of God."
From these scriptures I learn a lot and my eyes was open in this afternoon. Suddenly 2 pictures came out from my mind.
I saw a man dry up very quickly who did not stay close to his source.
I saw a group of people who loves God very much in the outside but they're so dry inside.
I have to say this, the man, is me. Yes, it's me. These days when I felt I did not stay clock with my source of life, I do felt my spirit is dry up, really dry up. Until a situation felt like myself is in a desert, looking for a spring. But today Jesus spoke to me via His word, He tells me that live in flesh is count for nothing! And the word Jesus spoke to me, is spirit, is life! And here, Jesus also repeated again that walking in to the gate of heaven, it is a must to have a permission or sort to say enabled by The Father. But in what kind of situation only we are enabled? Which is, a close relationship with God, and we are enabled! Just that simple! As we always heard a slogan which says: There is no relationship between the relationship had nothing to do with the relationship between. (有关系就没有关系，没有关系就有关系) Amen ?
And I doesn't want to simply explain the second picture I saw. But I do have a feeling which is Jesus really wants to say to His people, "Is the word of the Lord offended you? Is it really that difficult to understand or is it really unacceptable for you?" I think we do really have to self-examination. Do we have this feeling sometimes? A feeling which hurt Jesus Christ? We know Jesus always had a great love and mercy on us, but did we hurt Him? Did we grumbling about what Jesus thought us? Well, of course I'm not trying to say we are bad until like this....but at least what I know is, GA Youth, including myself, still have a bigger dimention to improve and know more in the word of God, and this is a positive, ain't negative. Praise God for this!

Love the Lord our God - September 22, 2008
Jesus replied: "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind" Matthew 22:37
These all days has been really really searching for a greater breakthrough in my life....I don't wanna live like before...the days I just receive the Lord Jesus Christ...it's useless to live in a life without breakthrough...I WANT A GREATER BREAKTHROUGH...
So seems like these days, the power of the first ever life time covenant I made with God during September year 2007 is coming clear....clear...and clear. Since of this, I do believe this power of this covenant will coming to be MORE CLEAR in the upcoming days...
Why do I repeat like this? Reason is because the covenant I made is I want to concentrate on God and just love Him and no others in this coming 5 years, everything for His sake, He is the always the first I care. Care of what? Care of His feeling, God is kind and mercy, He won't get mad on me, but He will sad and cry because of me. Lot of times I did not care about God's feeling and I even hurt Him deeply as I did something really dislikes Him. I felt sorry for what I did before the Lord. And now, I just wanna say, Father, I LOVE YOU..... So since the power of the covenant is clearer now, I found that I couldn't fall in love with other girls anymore.... During the days, I always flirty and the kind of guy like easy going, just go after on whom I interested on. But I found out I can not do that anymore! It not paralyzed about the feeling, it's not bored, it's just I cant !! Which makes me believe this is the time God want to change me and what I must do now is cooperate with God and let His will be done on me. Amen
Content of the covenant made on September Year 2007:
Lord please help me to know you more as you love me deeply. Lord let me die for your name, but I need to trained up by you Lord, I'm weak and Your name is strong Lord. Lord we make this covenant to stand for 5 years, in this coming 5 years, I want to just simply love You and live for You alone, nothing can separate me from Your love Lord. Lord please train me and build me up like the Apostle Paul, I wanna be like him and Lord if there is permission from You, I want to be more than Apostle Paul. Who cares my body will be saw off by the gentiles one day? In this 5 years, please build me and train me up Lord, use me O Lord God, as I wanna use by You and work with Holy Spirit greatly in my age of 22. Amen
This are the content of the covenant I made with God by myself. No one asked me to do so, but it's my own decision to do so. I saying this not to show-off, but I want to tell the world, I DON'T WANT TO BE A NORMAL CHRISTIAN, NEVER I WILL BE.

VICTORIOUS vis HOLINESS (A testomony of witnessess the miracle of healing) - September 14, 2008
Wow...today is just a excellent day after the previous miracle happens in the NS Camp. In the NS camp, I did pray for some other friends during christian fellowship time and they're healed by God, Amen.
And today, after the dancing class, when I'm get ready to go home, suddenly Sarah told me a small boy name Jedadiah is having a high fever and his mom is in class and is unable to walk away to bring him to the doctor, so sad I am in the situation. And when I'm trying to convince the boy to have a cup of water, he just reject me because he already drank 2 cup of water. So I just look at the kid and lay my hand on him, then dun know why, I started to pray for him for healing from Jesus Christ inside my heart quietly (too long to type to view the content of my prayer), and I felt like I'm in a warfare, but I just keep on praying for the boy and suddenly the boy talk to me and agree with me he will drink a cup of water. Then I finish my prayer and he finish his cup of water, as in the same time my hand in on his forehead, I felt that the heat on his forehead, neck and body is totally gone!! The first thought in my mind is, "Why isn't hot anymore? What happen? God heard my prayer and healed him?". And God just gave me an answer right away via the boy and said, "I'm OK now, is not hot anymore."
WOW ! AMEN ?! Yeah !! Amen !! God is the God of healing !! HE is great to be praised for His almighty miracles !!
And I praise God for this....which showing me a mirror that I'm in the days of NS...which my relationship with Jesus Christ...and for me....the definition of ministry is, the relationship betwwen Holy Spirit and I. Amen !

Trip to Jakarta - August 25, 2008
首先真的很感谢神让我能够有机会去到一个国际性的大型聚会。但是我也相信这是神的安排，让我们GA的青少年能够参与这次的国际聚会，我相信神必定有他自己的心意在我们当中。
当第一天到达Jakarta的时候，我们参加了一个叫作The Call的国际聚会。该聚会大约有五万人聚集在一个Stadium里面一起为着印尼和自己的国家来祷告，这时我心里想，“我们马来西亚几时可以有这么多人一起聚集在 Stadium为着自己的国家来哭泣祷告呢？”。接下来有一段时间，有4个小孩面对着会场大约5万人来为着自己的国家来哭泣祷告！其中更有12及10 岁的小孩在当中！他们居然毫无恐惧地面对万人来祷告、哭泣！这让我看见一个单纯向神求复兴，单单定睛在神祷告的祷告勇士！所以我以这群小孩为榜样，他们可以这样渴慕祷告，我们GA的年轻人也一定一样可以！我自己也一样可以！阿门！
接下来第二天我们就进入了在印尼的第二场国际聚会，叫作The Ring of Fire。第一位分享信息的讲员是叫作Che Ann，透过他的信息我学习到一个非常真实真理。When God prepared your destiny, He will prepare a divine appointment for you。这是一个非常真实的真理，而且我相信神必定会在每一个人的生命里面预备一个divine appointment。
接着就是Jerome牧师的分享，当中我抓到一个有关于圣洁的重点就是他分享路加福音13:1-5节的时候，耶稣在短短5节里就说了两次同一句话就是，[你们若不悔改，都要如此灭亡]。就是说我们若犯罪了都不悔改，跟那些外邦人没有分别，同样的必定灭亡。所以我们要非常有智慧，当了解自己犯了罪，便要作一个智慧人，立刻向神认罪悔改，否则罪的工价乃是死。过后陈仲辉牧师就接过了Jerome牧师。他分享了那么多，我最大的感动就是陈牧师对这世代的青少年的爱。他清楚了解这世代的青少年什么都可以为神做，但是最需要得到支持的就是经济上的帮助，所以不论他到哪一个地方，当他有感动要为某个地方的青少年支柱经费的时候，他都会毫不犹豫的鼎力支持。这是最感动我的，因为他非常了解青少年的需要！
到晚上开幕的时候，Pastor Cindy Jacobs在台上分享信息。当晚我的领受就是我们要牺牲我们自己，让神完全的介入我们的生命里面，成为那一个纯洁的火焰。因为当我们这样行的时候，神迹奇事就会发生，因为神必眷顾圣洁的子民。而且当一个纯洁的火焰（蓝火）在燃烧的时候，是吸引众人来到蓝火面前，而不是蓝火自己去焚烧别人。也就是说当我们的生命纯洁得像蓝火一样的时候，就会吸引许多的人来相信福音！所以这就是为什么当我们GA611购地款项达成的时候，神不断的告诉我们要圣洁的原因！因为必有10个人拉着GA611一个人的衣襟说 [我们要与你同去，因为我们听见神与你们同在了。] （撒迦利亚书8：23）
继续下来的领受就是Pastor Tommy的分享。我不知道别人对她的印象怎么样，但是我对她的印象就是，她是一位属灵界里面的军人训练师。当她开始分享的时候，她先表明若有谁不肯接受她所传的信息，就先出去会堂。我最喜欢的就是当她分享什么时候应该做一个羊，什么时候应该做一个骏马。首先她分享一个羊的特质，就是：
• Steady
• Intelligent
• Gentle
• Soft
• Polite
• Unresisting
• Humility
• Obedience
• Powerless
• A strong dependent on shepherd,
• Totally offer it self’s life to the shepherd,
• Depend on the shepherd to rescue while in danger
• To make it self freedom
• To anoint the oil on it face
• To defeat the foes
这就是一个羊的特质，这也给了我自己一个很好的反省，我身为一只羊的时候我到底有没有这样的特质。然后Pastor Tommy 突然跑出了一个问题，打中了我的心，就是“当神叫你的时候，要神叫你几次你才会应呢？”当时我立刻有一个羞愧的感觉。。。
过后她就继续分享一个骏马(Majestic Horse)的特质：
• Royalty
• Impressive
• Highest Rank
• Supreme Authority
• Obedience
• Aggressive while facing demonic power
• Courages
• Energetic
这就是骏马的特质，同时也给了我一个很好的鼓励。鼓励自己成为一个能够被将军骑上阵的一匹骏马。因我们不是与属血气的征战，乃是与属灵的恶魔征战，所以在灵界我要成为一只谦卑受教的羊，也要成为一匹发出蓝火的骏马。阿们！
当Pastor Timothy分享的时候，给了我一个很大的震撼和教导。就是当他说恩膏不是Download而是pass on的时候，我想起我从前时常为着我的恩膏来祷告，求我上位者的恩膏能够双倍的在我身上。。原来，我做了一个严重错误的祷告。当天我立刻醒觉了！原来我这么做是错的！恩膏是要传递，而不是download的！
在Pastor Cindy Jacob最后一次的讲道的信息里面，她跟现在全世界的复兴家讲的是同一个题目，就是“若你要神使用你，就祷告”当然当天晚上她所讲的不只是这样而已，而是有关末日的悔改。但我最大的领受就是若你要神使用你，就祷告；然后就说God use you = hours you pray。我自己本身领受很大，因为我之前不是没有祷告，只是少，但是现在我决定了，要比之前更多地祷告，好叫神能够在我年轻，在耶稣还未来到之前，预备主的道，修直他的路！阿门！

Everybody makes mistake, even pastor make mistake, even an apostle make mistake, God's children always make mistake, and that's for sure....so why can't we forgive people around us who hurt us ? Well...this is just a simple telling...nothing serious =)
Youth event just over...and this time is about boy & girl relationship. Well, the Taiwanese speaker is not bad, or can say...a not bad counselor . I learn something on that night, RESPECT THE OPPOSITE GENDER. What does it mean ? Respect ? Is it just not to moles him/her or touch, hug, kiss or any others physically touch ?? NO, the TRULY RESPECT is on the MENTALITY RESPECT !! If you said you respect the girl cause u like her, and every day u've been thinking of her, u thinking of her even u're with the other girl, well let me tell u, U'RE NOT RESPECTING AT ALL. Respect is not just respect, but is honor. Well on that night, I learn about this, don't ever and never treat a girl as a replacement ! If you did, this ain't call love no more, this call, A D U L T E R Y
Review of my Life - July 7, 2008
I don't know how to type my feeling right now....it's harsh for me... But I still have to type it out because it's all for my dearest friends who are lost in Christ and don't know Christ. For you guys sake, I type it out.
Before the days I met Jesus, I live in a life which full of darkness. I got no plan for my life, I got no love from my family, I got no freedom in my life, I live like a bullier in my secondary school, a guy that fight all around like fearless.....and hopeless.
I thank God that via Kar Chun, best buddy of mine, bring to me church GA611 on April 9th 2006, which is my birthday, that day is the first time I went to church. I felt peace and warmth, a family warmth which I never felt before in my entire life. Five days later, April 14th, and also Easter Day, I'm once again invited to GA611 for the church activity, I went, and I accepted Christ on that night.
After that night I accepted Christ, it's also the starting to change of my life. I've once asked my grandmother before what if I turn my religion to Christian, what will you do to me ? What will happen on me ? She just answered me,"You are no longer part of my family." Wow I shock, I dare not to tell her after I became a Christian, until the week before I going to baptist, Holy Spirit touch me strongly to tell my grandmother that I have accepted Jesus. My grandmother just stunned there and look at me, and she said,"OK...up to you, but I won't love you that much like how I used to." On that time I'm just feel like"ok...fine...at least I told you" . But until now, I dare to say out loud that my grandmother really loves me a lot.
After 2 years being a Christian, I realize that there is really really a lot of things I have to polish in my life. A lot of things have to learn and a lot of experience I need to gain. But this is all for my own good !! Thank God for all of it !! Because God loves me, so He wanted to polish my life in to a life which can used by Him greatly !! And this is the purpose why 18 years ago, He save my life from DEATH !!!
This is my first time review, I did not even tell this matter to any of my bro & sis yet, because I just been told not longer ago...
What happened 18 years ago !? I dare to say, if it's wasn't God, I won't be here anymore. I've been told that actually I have 1 younger and elder sibling in my life, but they are being ABORT !! And I'm one of supposed to being ABORT too !! But God has chosen me, He has see me while I'm in my mother's womb ! So via God my grandmother knows that my mother is trying to adopt me secretly so she stops her ! Saying that ," You must give birth to this baby." because according to the Buddhist religion, abortion will deserve curse from their so called god. So my grandmother stop my mom from aborting me, and now, I'm here writing this blog.
So my fellow friends !! Can't you see this ?? How miraculous this is !! Firstly God saves me from ABORTION ! And 16 years later God divinely showing up Himself to me and letting me back to His presence, after that God keep on and keeping on training me up in every circumstances !
Can't you guys felt that you are lucky enough cause you had never experience such a matter in your life ? You're lucky cause your mom did never think of abortion, but this doesn't means that God doesn't loves you ! For God so loves you so you now can sit in front of the computer and reading this blog ! So my friends who are still not believe in God or who are totally not enthusiast for God's Will in this generation ! I BEG YOU ! Believe in Him !! Because He is the God who loves you so much, He is the God who change my life, and since He can change my life, He can change your life too !!
Please say this prayer out loud, the Christ blood shed for us!
Jesus I come before You, I am here to say that I want to know you more and please come in to my life. Please change my life Jesus, let Your glory shine upon my life and let me have vision and dreams. Jesus I admit that I've sin against You, but I beg for Your mercy, please forgive me for what I've sin before You. Lord I thank you for allowing me to know you more, thank you Jesus. In Jesus name, Amen

Awakening of Paul - June 7, 2008
Oh great.....have been to A4J, the greatest revival camp I ever go before....and....the Awakening of Paul.....
I'll share what I've receive in this camp...but I'll not share it day by day like how last time I used to share with my friends....
Just 1 simple word, RELATIONSHIP
I always heard from my bro & sis in church and also from my leaders in church said this,"If you don't have a good relationship with people, you won't have a good relationship with God." and ,"How can you love God whom you can't see when you try to love the people around you that u can see?" ..........
Yeah....I agree with what they said but....there is always have something in my mind....the life of Apostle Paul . I started to discover Apostle Paul's life much and much ever since God changed my name into Paul divinely, and I found out that Apostle Paul have not much friends, not in a marriage in his life, not much close friends, but he could build up and strengthen those churches in that time !! But of course ! he have his own partner for the bible says 2 people is always better than alone ! Alright...juz stop be4 I went too far....
Alright, I did not said that I disagree with what I've heard, I agree what they said ! But maybe I'm juz like a little special or something bla bla bla....LoL. Juz kidding =D
But what I'm trying to say is (juz for myself), even I don't really have a great great close relationship with my brother and sister in Christ, doesn't mean that I don't have a close relationship with GOD !! (man I'm now juz feel like wanted to shout it loud)
Can you understand that ?
There is always a reason & proof for my serious word. Juz check it out on my previous post, one of my memory recall. I've clearly wrote there what I've done during my NS camp days. See ? since God done that for me, can u imagine how close is the relationship between me and God ?
And during that time, I don't have a really really close relationship with my bro & sis in Christ. And not close doesn't mean no good ok?
So this time during the A4J Camp. I'm here dare to say it out loud that Pastor Philip Mantofa's relationship with God is as close as the relationship I'm with God in the NS Camp!
I'm not saying that I have the knowledge as he have ! I'm not saying that I have the experiences he had ! I'm saying the r-e-l-a-t-i-o-n-s-h-i-p between God and I !!
So when Pastor Philip preach the word of God, Father spoke to me and show me very clearly that the Pastor Philip is a mirror of myself in NS Camp .
And God keep on showing me those pictures of the days after I back from NS camp, how I sinned before God, how I return back to my comfort zone, how no discipline I am, how rude I am....and most importantly, HOW FAR AWAY I AM WITH GOD....
And after God shows me, I repent. I REPENT !! I REPENT for what I've done and sinned against and before God !
And miraclely God spoke to me and He said,"my dear Paul, for I have a purpose for your name, and you shall be restored. And now, what you have done during NS Camp, the authority and power, will back to you." At the same time, God give me this phrase,
Matthew 16:19
I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.
And greatly...I thank you Lord for this......really.....a lot....
So guys, have u learn something on it ? See, when I'm in my comfort zone, I keep myself away from God by doing my very own stuff ; When I'm addicted to sit in front the PC, even I got nothing much to do, I still sit in front the PC and din even get close to God;When I'm back in to my comfortable place, I rather lie down on bed nothing to do also don't wanna come close before God and pray before God.....and by this....day by day...time by time....I lose my spiritual power and authority....and faith...of cos...
BUT NOW !! There will never be the same !! Because I make a very very important turning point prayer before God !! And it has been answered by God !! The prayer of repentance !! And after I repent before God, God gives me Matthew 16:19 !
Which makes my both palm burn like fire that day.....But it's all right ! Even if my both palm burn in to ashes, I will not complain anything but smiling before the Lord and says," Thank you for doing this to me, because I know You have Your will and Your will shall be done on earth...and on me."
I felt that I wanna make a prayer in this time, either you have the same past as I been through, or you have left out of God really a long time, please follow my prayer below.
"Jesus my Lord, I come before your throne and I wanna praise you . I praise you for what you've done on me and letting me read this blog in this time, I believe it's your divine appointment for me. In this time I come before Your throne Lord, I repent. Lord I'm sorry for what I've done in the past, for I did not care how You feel, for I hurt your heart so much Lord, please have mercy upon me, forgive me Lord. In this time, I wanna praise You again my Lord. For You love me so much, for Your cross O Lord. Thank you Lord, I believe the blood you shed for me has already cleansed my sin and I'm no longer a left out person. I will keep You inside my heart as You kept me in Your heart. Thank you Lord, in Jesus precious name I pray, Amen."

The Armor of God - Breastplate of Righteousness
Hohoho~!
This is a nice one to share ! Breastplate of Righteousness !!
What Righteousness means ?
--> Justification: The act of God whereby humankind is made or accounted just, or free from guilt or penalty of sin.
So this is why we have we equip the Breastplate of Righteousness on our chest/body. To have the SEAL of free from guilt or penalty of sin AND bring the same blessing to the others who you care the most around u or in your life.
I don't think I'm going to make any example about this but just try to share out something else.
Alright, what did the bible says ? Romans 1:17, a very familiar scripture known by Christian,
16I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile. 17For in the gospel a righteousness from God is revealed, a righteousness that is by faith from first to last, just as it is written: "The righteous will live by faith."
See the last word? THE RIGHTEOUS WILL LIVE BY FAITH !!
Maybe u'll ask this,"Paul, what is this all related to the breastplate ? just pray and wear it LA ! Sure as u said, there will be the righteousness of God come upon us and let us live free !"
Yeah yeah...I don't deny it that the righteousness of God will come upon us...there is always a BUT for this, know why ?
Cuz Habakkuk 2:4 "but the righteous will live by his faith" Mongolia is the prophet Habakkuk and God's inspiration. At that time, the Prophet Habakkuk complaint to the God of Judah to be aggressive at the end of the Chaldeans, they emerge evil, God has allowed them to violations of God's voters, it seems unreasonable. But God has his wonderful plan, he invaded Judah in the enemy country, the conservative who have sufficient confidence in the God of voters, those voters still have confidence in the survival and a safe.
So in the end, summary u can see by like this
FAITH comes to RIGHTEOUSNESS comes to FREE FROM GUILT OR PENALTY OF SIN

The Armor of God - Helmet of Salvation
Alright guys....this is what I've receive and learned so far about The Armor of God...so if there is anything that u felt it's mistaken or what, comment to me k...
Special for GA's (God's Army) brothers and sisters, some of us may thought that why do we need to do a prayer of equipping The Armor of God every morning when we wake up or sometimes be4 Praise and Worship Team started practice....So now I'll try to explain some of the reason...
(of course, if u wanted to know the exactly teaching about this, the best so far is go and ask Reverend Esther ^^" )
Alright, Helmet of Salvation !! what is this ? why should we call it a helmet ? why not a buckler or a boot ?
Firstly, what is Salvation means ?
1.) it means, the Deliverance from the power or penalty of sin
2.) the state of being saved or protected from harm
Ok my dear bro & sis, so u guys understood that meaning of Salvation? But why must we put in on as a helmet? Very simple.... If one day, u and your friends get lost in a shopping mall, i ensure that the first thing u do is go and look for them right? But how r u going to recognize them? By their Body Glove T-Shirt or a Nike sport shoe ? What if there is another same people wearing the same suit? You'll wrong on recognizing isn't it ? And then how do u feel when u're wrong on recognizing? Cuz I sure that the way u greet ur buddy is not...Hi, are u Alex? No ! U'll say this, " Hey buddy ! where have you guys been ! You know, I were looking for u from the west to east , south to...." Before you finish ur word, then only u recognize that u've wrong. - A Shame has occur.
So my brother & sister, this is the reason u put the Helmet of Salvation on your head. Cuz if u looking for someone who u really care for, u'll directly look at their face, which is on their HEAD !!
A simple testimony for you guys, which is the first day i went to National Service.
On the early morning, as usual, I pray for equipping The Armor Of God. During the time I'm inside the bus, and know a new friend inside the bus, and then we start chatting. On the beginning we're juz chit-chat a little bit, nothing much. And then suddenly he asked me this," R u a chinese Christian?" I stunned on that time. Because on that time I'm wearing a cross, but I purposely hide in inside my shirt, which I confirm the others cant see it. So since God has opened a way for me, I grab the chance to spread the Gospel of God with the new friend.
See bro & sis, Helmet of Salvation which put on ur head is represents HOPE, a HOPE for the mankind to see that their sins in their life can deliverance thru the Salvation of Christ !!
And this is the HELMET OF SALVATION !!

The Chronicles of Narnia - Prince Caspian
Hey bro & sis out there who reading my blog right now, i just watch the latest Narnia episode today with my church's bro & sis , Prince Caspian . Ow....about what I feel about the movie....great...it's totally great and nice !! I'm touched by the movie greatly.....by the Spirit of God...
Hmm....let's not too spiritual first , first of all I just wanna tell that he story is good and urmm....yeah , it's quite interesting and different from the first episode of Narnia . This time , the True King of Narnia , Aslan just showed up himself during the almost ending time , but middle and beginning of the story, is just far of expected and it's good and interesting !
Alright , time to share what did I learn from this movie.....just little bit but it's already more than enough...
During the scene, there is a scene that King Peter and Prince Caspian leading the Narnians to attack their enemies and trying to get a revenge of Prince Caspian's uncle . When the Narnians attack, King Peter shouted " For Narnia !!" ; Then the other scene , King Peter lead his troop back to a counter attack the the force army of the enemy , he shout this ," For Aslan !!" Ok....stop right here....as I just remember this 2 scene which King Peter shouted...
Do you guys realize what I trying to share ? Christians , do you guys get it what I mean ?
Ok....I'll explain...let's take a look at this way alright ? Do you really have the passion to lead God's Army and fight for God's Kingdom and His name when u shouted 'Yes God, I'll fight for You and it's all about You !! ' Do you really mean it while u say this ?
C'mon guys !! FIGHT FOR HIM !! FIGHT FOR HIS GLORY !! FIGHT FOR HIS NAME !! HIS KINGDOM !! And then when we having a spiritual warfare with the demons, we can shout like this without any suspicious feeling , FOR JESUS !! FOR KING ZION !! FOR JEHOVAH !!! AMEN !!

Ok....stop right here....as I just remember this 2 scene which King Peter shouted...
Do you guys realize what I trying to share ? Christians , do you guys get it what I mean ?
Ok....I'll explain...let's take a look at this way alright ? Do you really have the passion to lead God's Army and fight for God's Kingdom and His name when u shouted 'Yes God, I'll fight for You and it's all about You !! ' Do you really mean it while u say this ?
C'mon guys !! FIGHT FOR HIM !! FIGHT FOR HIS GLORY !! FIGHT FOR HIS NAME !! HIS KINGDOM !! And then when we having a spiritual warfare with the demons, we can shout like this without any suspicious feeling , FOR JESUS !! FOR KING ZION !! FOR JEHOVAH !!! AMEN !!

hmmm.....okay....what i wanna post dis time....it's been a long long time i dint post any....cuz of i dun think i need to post any adi....but juz keep inside my memory...haha....well , seems like I've wrong , i should store some here.....
Hmm...alright , let's begin on March...this month is really a month that lift me to another level...being an Intern Cell Leader...!! WoW ! this news shocks me when i heard this ! Although I dun have any much big expression...but in my heart.....feels really cool for me , and I always keep inside my mind " I am already a leader , no more kiddo." And that's pretty cool for me...!! haha !!
And there's go April....9th , my birthday....18th birthday !! Yeeeee Haaaa!!! hahaha !!! well , that day was actually not that fun though....too bad cuz that day is Wednesday....and everyone has to go to school....or either work...if not....hehe...i can ask many buddies of mine like Joshua....Daniel....Terence...ZiKang....them all out for movies or go some where else....but God is good to me , I have a brother of mine who just came back from NS (on that time)...KC !! haha !! He is the oldest friend i keep for so long....hmm....already 6 years knowing him...really a best friend of mine....truly is....he accompany me to go to MV(although is quite boring for him , cuz he always go) , but he still accompany me...really appreciate that...accompany me to watch movie...walk around...eat....whole day time...haha....great...may God Bless my dearest brother , KC !
But there's something unhappy happen on that day too....it's really hard to forget what happen on that day.....April 9th....after having fun time at MV...we separated and go home...and i get down the bus at Asia Jaya LRT station...and plan to walk home . When i walking home , there is a china man came to me and beg me for some money to eat cuz his wallet is already empty and his money will delivered to his bank account on the next day , so he asked me to borrow him some money and then he will return it to me the next day... But that time he is wearing office suit and look like he is trying to lie me off or something...i juz simply give him 2 dollars and tell him doesn't need to pay me back anymore (as in my mind , i think that he is trying to lie my money). So he asked me a question , "is 2 dollars enough ?" And then i just answered him like very cool or something ," Eat from your heart and u will full." after that , i walk away..... Walao eh ! What is in my mind that time ??? Who I think i am ?? my Lord Jesus ??? turn 2 dollars to 200 ? or 2,000 ??? Or think that is it really possible 2 dollar can feed the man full ?? I'm just being too selfish !! I shouldn't do that to that man !! And after that when i realize that actually God wants to use me as a vessel to help that man...i repent... I run back to the LRT station and look for that guy....until the day get dark....i couldn't find that guy anymore...but what i can do is juz pray for that man...
Look my bro & sis , God did give me a present on that day but because of I'm being selfish and small hearted , I denied the present....but God still let me learn a lesson....BE AWAKE ANYTIME AS GOD WILL CALL YOU TO DO SOMETHING U HAD NEVER THOUGHT OF IT !!
So...this is what happen on me this past months....and there is also a big change of me in the spiritual realm....I'm started to hunger for prayers....burden for prayers....burden in preaching the word of God...but this all i also don't wanna tell my leader first....or unless they read this by themselves....because i dun think this is the time for me to tell it out that i have such a burden of preaching the word of God...and Yes...i did have a prophetic dream before as i saw myself standing on GA Youth's stage a preach the word of God....but only God knows when is the time to come....only God...only He knows......and although I'm hoping and hunger for it...which means I'm still like before...never change...always hope to have more equip....teaching...lessons from my leaders and church...more and more and more ! Until I'm qualified and i know the word of God much and much and clear !! So that I can preach the word of God without any mistaken made or any others dis understanding preach !
So now , I already catch the Key of A Great Leader in this generation like Pst Jaeson Ma, Pst Philip Mantofa, and of coz also David kor and Calvin kor , and the Key is --> PRAYER
So now i just start with prayers.....30 minutes to 1 hour per day.....And I also know why those great man who used by God in the old days and nowadays can pray up to 3 or 4 hours per day !! And there is actually a secret or i can say there is a format !! It's really really really easy to do it ! Want to know it ? Hehe , come and ask me =P

A Lesson from John Thien Hoe En
February March 7 2008
hmm.....this morning went to devotion and have breakfast with my leaders...Calvin family and David family...& hooi thing =)
During the time we had our meal..i think John is in a unawake condition...since he looks so blur @.@" haha....
then when David gor gor go and buy him a packet of Mamee (forgot the spelling) , John is juz looks like awake and he looks even more semangat than me.....lol
When i saw his desire and hunger for the mamee that in David's hand , i learn something .
I was thinking , what John had in his mind when he hunger for the mamee in David's hand ? Isn't he just dun care the people around him and just ask it and want it from his daddy ? And then at the beginning , when David is going to feed John the mamee ( which means David haven't feed him yet ), John cry for it !! He cry for what he wants !! This is a pure heart , a true child's heart . And then John accidentally drop the bowl of noodle on the floor , which is he is suppose to eat it . David gor gor just simply and small touch "piak" on his hand , to teach not to do that . John just no response , not crying , not angry , din feel sad , and guess what ? HE IS JUST CONTINUE TO ASK THE MAMEE FROM DAVID's HAND !
See guys ! What is in your mind when you wanna ask something from God ? Are you really hunger and doesn't care the other ppl's sight ? Did you cry for it before your Heavenly Father give you what u wants ? Did you ever give up what you're hunger and desire when u face a problem ?
I did learn somthing from John . Do you ?
