Co-incidence or God-incidence?

Shalom in the name of Jesus Christ.

I want to share the recent experiences I had.

The first happened on Saturday. As out of the blue, i recited “Foxes have holes and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head.”. Then on Sunday service, Pastor Lian also mentioned this verse! 

The "GOD-incidence" of this verse within Saturday and Sunday kept me thinking, GOD is listening! 

The second experience is really an Up-Close-Personal touch whereby Pastor Lian was leading us to lift one hand and to clench the other into a fist position. She asked us to throw all our cares, our concerns, our worries, our debts, our sicknesses, our transgressions, our sins and our iniquities unto this fist. 

With the worship songs "Believe" humming on the background, she asked us to bring forth this fist and put it at the cross where our LORD JESUS was nailed to.

My dear brethren, this is where I encountered something which I never experienced in the past.....

The very moment I put my fist and opened it unto the cross. I saw JESUS lifted HIS eyes to heaven and says out: "It is done!". Then JESUS closed HIS eyes, bow HIS head and HE rest! 

Wow, of so many times we casted our cares unto the cross. I have never seen this but just when I recited Luke 9:58 a day before, and Pastor Lian uses this verse earlier, I saw ABBA DADDY finally found place to lay HIS  head!! 

Best of all, HE ensures me with HIS words: "It is done!". Notice the main word here is not "finished" but "done", how not to proclaim all my cares, worries & every single bad curses have been dealt with, by my LORD!! Hallelujah!

AMEN Father, Praises to the LORD whom opened HIS doors and flooded me with HIS blessings where I could not find enough room to store all; GOD always blesses us with boat-sinking, net-breaking, loads full of rewards!

Thank GOD for being with us, my brethren, my family, my friends and my neighbors! 

In the wonderful name of JESUS,

AMEN.

Late Believe, Early Deliverance

Shalom in the mighty name of our LORD Jesus!

Remember I mentioned about my 'Slip-Disc' of more than 15 years during my last writing? Well, I promised to elaborate more of it, and here we go.....

It all started when I was still an unbeliever, during my NS days.....

In those days, nothing good nor favors seem to ever be happened to me! All my friends around me were being allocated to 'easy-life' units or some to become NS Police! As for me, I was being sent to Infantry Unit & to make it worst, "Charlie Company" whereby everything were more on-the-ball than the rest of the Unit! Well, to rub more into it, our platoon was under a notorious sadist Sergeant! So you may imagine how was our morale.....

Anyway, it was during those period, I hurt my back in one of the exercise in Thailand. Ever since, I been going through lots of medical checkups, X-Ray, physiotherapy and treatments.  All results concluded that I had what been termed as 'Slip-Disc'! So all these years, I've been living in pain and annually, the pain will come back without fail! 

My back-condition had been causing great pains especially the last one. Despite praying over it, the pain was so unbearable that I decided to seek the doctor for further treatments. 

But something unusual happened this time round! The doctor did a further check unto me and concluded that I did not have any 'Slip-Disc'! I was shocked to hear that for I have been living in the mentality of suffering from 'Slip-Disc' and yet this doctor was telling me that I am not! He further explained that if I had been suffering from it, I wouldn't been able to do the many bending and stretching he tested on me! 

To him, he termed my condition with some sort of medical condition's name, but in short- 'Muscle-Tense'! Whatever the name of my suffering is, I felt an instant appreciation in my heart and I know, GOD never ignore me at any moment! Hallelujah and praise be it to my wonderful, almighty LORD! 

Well can you see it? I was made to believe that I have 'Slip-Disc' and all these years I've been living under the realm of such believe. But the moment I trusted in GOD, HE released me out of my agonies of many years and HE healed me in such a miracle way! 

O yes, to add on to it, I was also detected 'Mitral-Valve-Prolapse' (MVP) in my Army days. It is a condition of additional murmuring sounds from my heart. All these years, many doctors had detected it and whenever I go for dental checkup, I need to take Anti-Biotic prior to Dental. And my Insurance premium and some coverages are also being affected! 

Well, these murmuring sounds began to subside few years back. Thus after hearing the good news of my back condition, I further requested the Doctor to check on my heartbeat after I told him of my MVP, and you know what? He couldn't detect the additional murmuring! This is totally awesome! And this is where I recalled how the Israelites murmured when they were wandering out in the wilderness. But once, they stopped murmured, they were into GOD's promised land! And I did a recall back to when my heart murmur subside. It was some time in the beginning of 2009, AND I was SAVED in late 2008! HIS testimonials are for real and once I believe and my heart stop MURMUR!!!!!

AMEN and AMEN!

Despite being a late believer, my deliverances were never late. The moment I stopped wandering and starts believing, GOD shows me HIS mercies and grace!

Therefore I urge you, my dear brethren, don't stop believing. Instead, Shema-Shema, keep on hearing, hearing and hearing, for Abba JESUS brings unto us, glad tidings of good news! 

Be of good cheers!

GOD be with you, always!

Why And Whom

Shalom,

First and foremost, A Happy New Year to all!

Wow, it has been more than a month since I last wrote! Well, towards the last week of 2010, I was first down with flu, follow by fever. After-which, my 'slip-disc' (I will write on this again later) which I had suffered for more than 15 years, relapsed. Mind you, the worst of so many years! Eventually, I was down with flu again and only starts to recover these two days..... So all in all, five weeks of down-time! YES, five reminded me of HIS grace, without HIS grace, I will be worst off!

During my down-time, I been wandering in & out of many things. Things whereby why do I suffer, why do I still need to go through all these pains? Didn't I already confessed JESUS bore my pains and iniquities, and by HIS stripes, I am all healed? Suddenly I realised, why did I doubt about my healing? Didn't JESUS already redeemed me as in Galatian 3:13, from all the curses of the law? And when I thought of all these, John 20:29 flows into my head and I began to recite that Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed! 
The moment I starts doing that, I felt my back stunk even further, causing me to be in incredible pain! And now I know, the devil is very concern not on my healing, but my conscious of who I am! And this is where I put my eyes to the LORD, seeing HIM being scourged, stricken, and all chastisements for my peace were upon HIM, I began to feel the luke warm honey flowing up from my back to my head! And before long, I am able to do most of my daily stuffs again! 


Hallelujah, glory-glory to JESUS! For in Chirst is YES, in HIM is AMEN!


LORD JESUS, thank You for not forsaking me, for healing me and for protecting me.


O yes, during that period, I was strongly biting onto Psalm 1:3, For I am like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bring forth it's fruits in it's season. Whose leafs ALSO will not wither; Whatever I do, shall prosper!


And through Ps Prince, the year 2011 will be crowned with YOUR goodness; YOUR paths drip with abundance! 
LORD, with YOU going through January 2011 to December 2011 for me, I know, I am blessed with YOUR fatness.....


YES AND AMEN!

Faith, either or both way(s)

Shalom,

While Dr Richard Roberts of Oral Roberts Ministries, was asking us to call out the sickness of our prayer target. Xylon, my almost 6 years old, stretched out his hand unto my neck (that's the length he can reached of me), immediately, I felt my stiffed neck loosen! 

The best part was that, Xylon just uttered out "daddy" with a smile! And that's when I felt it and was being loosed! 

From here, I not only learned that we must not talk about our problem, but to talk to our problem. I also realised that our conscious also plays that important part! Just like what Xylon did to me, though, he didn't speak, but I already know my situation and perceived what I want, and when the moment Xylon touches me, I am healed! This reminds me of the woman with the issue of blood; She believed that the moment she touches the hem of Jesus robe, she'll be made healed!

Hallelujah, thank God for Your multitude of mercies, favors and grace, surrounding me like a shield! 

AMEN & be blessed in Jesus name!

Deu 28:8 & out of Deu 28:20....

Deu 28:8 & out of Deu 28:20....

by Lorenzo Chia on Sunday, 22 August 2010 at 00:46

Deu 28:20 “The Lord will send on you cursing, confusion, and rebuke in all that you set your hand to do, until you are destroyed and until you perish quickly, because of the wickedness of your doings in which you have forsaken Me.

Nope, OVERRULED again & again!

Gal 3:13 Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us (for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree”),

Because of I m the beloved son of Christ, He has taken up my curse of the law! PTL!

Therefore, i can only be blessed w/o any curse! I boldly proclaim Deu 28:8 “The Lord will command the blessing on us in our storehouses and in all to which We set our hand, and He will bless us in the land which the Lord our God is giving us."

Hallelujah, Rejoice!

Significance of Galatians 3:13

Ps telling us Galatians 3:13: Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us (for it is written, "Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree"). And that the curse here is on Deuteronomy 28!

I've been reading Deuteronomy 28 from " 

³ You will be blessed in the city and blessed in the country.

⁴ The fruit of your womb will be blessed, and the crops of your land and the    young of your livestock—the calves of your herds and the lambs of your flocks.

 ⁵ Your basket and your kneading trough will be blessed.

 ⁶ You will be blessed when you come in and blessed when you go out.

 ⁷ The LORD will grant that the enemies who rise up against you will be defeated before you. They will come at you from one direction but flee from you in seven.

 ⁸ The LORD will send a blessing on your barns and on everything you put your hand to. The LORD your God will bless you in the land he is giving you.

 ⁹ The LORD will establish you as his holy people, as he promised you on oath, if you keep the commands of the LORD your God and walk in his ways. ¹⁰ Then all the peoples on earth will see that you are called by the name of the LORD, and they will fear you. 

¹¹ The LORD will grant you abundant prosperity—in the fruit of your womb, the young of your livestock and the crops of your ground—in the land he swore to your forefathers to give you.

 ¹² The LORD will open the heavens, the storehouse of his bounty, to send rain on your land in season and to bless all the work of your hands. You will lend to many nations but will borrow from none. 

¹³ The LORD will make you the head, not the tail. If you pay attention to the commands of the LORD your God that I give you this day and carefully follow them, you will always be at the top, never at the bottom.

All the above have been the blessings, why Ps always relate the curses Jesus Christ redeemed us in Galatians 3:13 to here. Thus, I always couldn't comprehend and live the ways and acknowledge my life. And whenever I saw the blessings of someone else, I questioned myself, why am I not enjoying good results from the blessings. The more I questioned, the deeper my doubts as in if I am believing right...

Yesterday, while listening to one of Ps sermon he preached during 2006 or 2007, the Lord had me inclined my ear into one of Ps sentence in regards to Deuteronomy 28! This is where I got it! 

You see, my problem is whenever I read Deuteronomy 28, I confessed the first 13 verses on Lord's blessings. The moment it touches on the Lord's curses from 15-68, I closed the book, refusing to further read it. As I always feels that if I don't know anything about the Lord's curses, I will not receive it! 

How wrong was I? You see, by closing on Deuteronomy 28:15 onwards, I closes my understanding on what (curses) Christ has redeemed me from in Galatians 3:13! 

And I clearly hear the Holy Spirit speaking to me: "Son, you are not getting it, you are avoiding it!" And by avoiding it, I've acknowledged the curses not knowingly!

Now that I know, and since, Deuteronomy 28, verse 15 onward is about curse of the law, I shall boldly face and reject these curses in the law's way! Every curses from verse 15 onward shall be "over-ruled" through Galatians 3:13, through Jesus's way! 

From now on, I will overrule every curses and I look forward to the blessings in:-

1) In every cities, in every countries,

2) Fruitful in my womb, my crops, my livestocks, my herds, my flocks,

3) Basketful in my kneading bowls

4) Enemies, defeated before me, came in one way and flee n seven ways before me,

5) Every barns through my hands be full of good results, my lands will be frutiful,

6) Making me strong, happy, free of diseases,

7) Making me healthy and lively

8) Everywhere I am, shall be fruitful, prospers, full of grace from heaven,

9) With good seasonal produced environment, 

10) Every situation will be a win-win situations,

11) Free of pest's disturbances,

12) Be of good functioning body, silky skin,

13) Be of sound mind, good vision, cheerful living hearts,

14) Angels surrounding me in everywhere I goes,

15) Happy and strong family,

16) All fruits be for own consumptions,

17) Children happily and wisely taken care of,

18) Be acknowledged and approval from worldwide under the God's sight,

19) Shalom peace of mind and not out of mind,

20) Good and healthy body parts from crown of my head to the sole of my feets,

21) No demon nor devil can affect me nor my mind,

22) Of good names and wisdom granted to me by the Lord,

23) Everything I touched on, shall prospers,

24) Ability to enjoy my fruits,

25) Full of anointing,

Lord Jesus, bring it on and from now on, I will not avoid anything but overcome everything in Jesus name!

Thank You Lord Jesus.

AMEN!

Hearing, Not Seeing..

Though I had read the book of Luke for 3-5 times, this has never come unto me until now....

Christ Heals Bartimaeus

18:35  Then it happened, as He was coming near Jericho, that a certain blind man sat by the road begging. 36 And hearing a multitude passing by, he asked what it meant. 37 So they told him that Jesus of Nazareth was passing by. 38 And he cried out, saying, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!” 39  Then those who went before warned him that he should be quiet; but he cried out all the more, “Son of David, have mercy on me!” 40 So Jesus stood still and commanded him to be brought to Him. And when he had come near, He asked him, 41 saying, “What do you want Me to do for you?”

He said, “Lord, that I may receive my sight.” 42  Then Jesus said to him, “Receive your sight; your faith has made you well.”43 And immediately he received his sight, and followed Him, glorifying God. And all the people, when they saw it, gave praise to God.

Yes, from verse 35-38, a nameless blind man- Bartimaeus, kept calling out to Jesus. Moreover this blind man knew all about Jesus, for he knew Jesus being the descendent of David. And this is one of the part that the Lord opened my sight.... Yes, Bartimaeus is conscious of Jesus and His abilities.

Den on the next verse is another eye opener! As it reveals that those around this blind man warned him to be quiet! What is this sentence showing me? 

Okay, take myself as an example. I (Bartimaeus) once was blind, indulged blindly in idols until Lord flung His wide doors to me. And It was during that period, people (pharisees) around me warned & prevented me from further knowing Abba. If i had listened to them, i may be another walking dead soul. But I m so glad that I reacted like Bartimaeus whom persisted in continuosly calling out to Jesus... 

Verse 40-42 tells us that Jesus will never ignore nor forsake anyone calling out to Him. Not only will He reach out towards us but He give sight to the blinds & heal us all!

The gist of these chapter lies on verse 43. Bartimaeus received his sight, and follow Him & glorifying God while the rest must see it then give praises to God! Lord blesses me with His devine wisdom here by showing me that Bartimaeus being blind, did not see to believe & was being healed. While the rest need to see it then give praises to God but may not be able to receive His healing.....

Thus this is another great example of faith comes by hearing, & hearing the word of God..... 

Hallelujah Lord, I thank You for Your devine wisdom given unto me...

AMEN! 

I m blessed to be of blessings

Shalom,

God is really great.. not only 1st FA was in, last two weeks. On 13 & 14 May, the 2nd & 3rd FA came in consecutively. His blessings broke the veil & stormed in, even b4 I can bring the 1st FA back to His storehouse! Hallelujah!
As Pastor was still enjoying his brithday celebration with Wendy & Jessica, Ps Lian took over the Pull-Pit on Sunday! I must admire Ps Lian for giving all of us wonderful washings on our feets through a simple word- "Water". Yes, dust off our feets and have the daily water to continue cleaning us through His words!

One of her phrase captured me and that is "I m blessed to be of blessings"!

Hallelujah, God always superabundantly answered our prayers. Yesterday, boss passed me a stack of S$50 notes. It was a sharing of his lottery strike last weekend (which I didn't participate or even know)!
P/s, B4 under Christ mighty grace, I used to chase after these (4D, Toto & BIG Sweep) winnings. But now, these blessings constantly hunt me down while I go after Jesus Christ! PTL, this came in time for my vehicle insurance renewal which is around that amount of money!

Today, I began to pay off part of my many debts with the blessings from Abba Jesus. But I am looking forward to His storehouse again this weekend, my heart is all after Him with His Shalom Peace comforting me in all my situations!

Jesus, Your grace has raised me up.

Jesus, Your truth has set me free!

Jesus, Your loving-Kindness is good,
Jesus, Your multitudes of tender mercies are mine.
Jesus, bless me to be of blessings!

Amen, Amen, Amen, Amen & Amen!
