Laughter - Joy of the Lord / 欢笑 -主的喜乐

Wherever we share the gospel, the Lord would always fill the place with joy.

During our 1st sharing at CKRM Banting Church in Selangor on 26 July 2009, many of the congregation were filled with the joy of the Lord. A local ‘Feng Shui’ master was zapped by the Holy Spirit and wept very loudly. He repented and committed himself to the Lord. Instantly, he was filled with great joy and he danced to the delight of the congregation.

God hates sin but loves sinners. Like the fortune teller girl who was set free from demonic spirit (Acts 16:18), God can use such man for His glory for salvation of souls as people could see the miracle of God in the transformation of the ‘Feng Shui’ master to a man of our Living God.

“Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom” (2 Corinthians 3:17). Where there is freedom (liberty) there is joy. Joy when manifest into laughter can and has set many people free from inner hurts and sadness.

God is love. When we have Christ in us, we have the love, joy and peace that Christ is. God is our very joy and the joy of the Lord is our strength (Nehemiah 8:10). The feeling or emotion of joy follows our faith and is the emotional response to the spiritual reality.

The fruit of joy can be expressed in different ways. Sometimes it can be very bright, loud and lively. People may sing, shout and dance.

Psalm 30:11-12, “You turned my wailing into dancing; you removed my sackcloth and clothed me with joy, that my heart may sing to you and not be silent. O Lord my God, I will give you thanks forever.”

A preacher’s wife testified how her life was transformed after the Holy Spirit zapped her. She trembled (Daniel 10:10-11) and burst into joy. Following is the link to her testimony:

Like the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control (Galatians 5:22-23); the kingdom of God is not a matter of talk but of power (1 Corinthians 4:20). This is Jesus’ DNA and as Paul said, “I will not venture to speak of anything except what Christ has accomplished through me in leading the Gentiles to obey God by what I have said and done --- by the power of signs and miracles, through the power of the Spirit. So from Jerusalem all the way around to Illyricum, I have fully proclaimed the gospel of Christ” (Romans 15:18-19).

Our mission is to do what the Lord has anointed us to do; to prepare and equip the people of God to bring not only the gospel of power to their Churches but also the freedom & joy and also to plant new Churches that carry the DNA of our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen!

欢笑 -主的喜乐

无论我们在哪传福音,主都会使那地方充满喜乐。

在二零零九年七月二十六日, 当我们第一次在雪兰莪的CKRM万津超自然治疗中心分享时, 主的喜乐就充满了许多在场的会众。一位当地的‘风水’师傅被圣灵感动地大声哭泣。他认罪悔改并且决志跟随我们的主。之后他即刻被主的喜乐大大充满而在会众前欢喜快乐的跳起舞来。

神虽憎恨罪恶,但祂爱罪人。就像从巫鬼得释放的看命女子(使徒行传16:18),神可以使用这样一个人彰显祂的荣耀, 拯救世上的灵魂。人们可以目睹神如何神迹般的翻转这位‘风水’师傅成为我们永活真神的一名仆人。

“主就是那灵;主的灵在那里,那里就得以自由”(歌林多后书 3:17)。哪里有自由(不被约缩)哪里就有喜乐。当喜乐彰显为欢笑时,能够并且也已经使许多人的内在伤害和忧伤得着释放。

神是爱。当我们有耶稣在我们里面时,我们就拥有耶稣的爱, 喜乐和平安。神就是我们的喜乐而耶和华的喜乐是我们的力量。(尼希米记 8:10).喜乐的感觉或情绪跟随我们的信心并且是我们属灵真实的情绪反应。

喜乐的果子以不同的方式表达自己。有时非常明亮, 大声和活泼。人们可能会唱歌, 喊叫或跳舞。

诗篇 30:11-12, “你已将我的哀哭变为跳舞,将我的麻衣脱去,给我披上喜乐,好叫我的灵歌颂你,并不住声。 耶和华 ─ 我的神啊,我要称谢你,直到永远!”

一位传道者的妻子见证她的生命如何被圣灵“电” 到后而改变。她颤抖 (但以理书 10:10-11) 并且发出笑声。以下的网址是她的见证:

http://www.ckrm.org/?p=583 (一个美好的经历)

就如圣灵所结的果子,就是仁爱、喜乐、和平、忍耐、恩慈、良善、信实、温柔、节制。 (加拉太书 5:22-23); 神的国不在乎言语,乃在乎权能。(歌林多前书 4:20)。这是耶稣的基因, 和保罗所说的∶“除了基督藉我做的那些事,我什么都不敢提,只提他藉我言语作为,用神迹奇事的能力,并圣灵的能力,使外邦人顺服;甚至我从耶路撒冷,直转到以利哩古,到处传了基督的福音。”(罗马书 15:18-19)。

我们的使命是做主膏我们做的事;就是准备和装备神的子民不但把福音的大能带回自己的教会, 也带回自由和喜乐, 还有设立带着耶稣基因的新教会。阿门!


Bro Wong Ah Sang's Testimony - Faithfulness / Wong Ah Sang弟兄的见证- 神的信实

At the age of 52, a prophesy was given to me that God might not use me mightily as in the 5 fold ministry but as long as I remained faithful to God my latter life will be better than my former.

After retirement, sickness like arthritis, gout and hypertension slowly began to creep into my body. My desire had been to retire with a good life where I was sickness free. As I remained faithful, I held on to the prophesy given by a servant of God before my retirement. My sickness was under control with proper medication.

Upon reaching 70 years old, life has opened a new chapter. As usual, hypertension and diabetes were under control with medicine. Blood sugar level was rather high with a reading of above 7.0 taken after fasting.

Recently Ps Rajendren prayed for healing upon my sickness. At CKRM, during “The Finger of God” healing meeting, Ps Paul prayed for my diabetes and the blood sugar reading went below 6.0. Praise God as I believed my diabetes has been healed by God.

Before this, I couldn’t do a lot of work with my hand as my hands were weak. Coming to CKRM and with God’s anointing upon me, my hands began to regain strength. Furthermore, walking under God’s anointing has healed my relationship with my son. I always pondered how my son felt about me as a father? I began to notice my son began to respect and showed thankfulness towards me for all that I had given to him as a father.

My wife was suffering from a backache problem all this while. The pain was so serious that she had to rest during shopping or even squat to relief the pain. Treatment by specialist did not help much. She needed to take medicine or rather painkiller to reduce the pain. Interestingly during a meeting at CKRM, Ps Paul told me that the anointing upon me was very strong and he asked me to pray for my wife. I obeyed and prayed for my wife. Since then, the pain had gone and my wife had been healed completely. My wife could even do gardening and “cangkul” for an hour in the garden. I sincerely believed when God’s anointing comes upon a believer, he/she can do anything with the power of God!

Praise and thanks unto Jesus our healer and deliverer. Amen.

Pastor's Footnote: After the Lord commanded us to set up the leadership training centre in Malacca, the Lord flashed the name of Bro Wong upon our co-founder Ps Esther that Bro Wong would lead us to the premise. Bro Wong made the arrangment for us to view the premise. Upon entering the premise, the fire of God came upon my right palm and the presence of God came upon Ps Esther as a confirmation that the premise was His choice.

Wong Ah Sang弟兄的见证- 神的信实

我五十二岁那年, 有预言说神可能不会在五重职事大大使用我,但只要我忠心于神, 我的晚年会比我的早年来得好。

退休后,如关节炎,痛风和高血压的疾病开始慢慢地在我的身体蔓延。我的心愿是能在退休后过着无病痛的美好生活。因我忠于神,我谨守神仆人在我退休前所发的预言。我的疾病在服药物下受控制。

抵达七十岁时,我的生命开始了新的一页。 如往常,高血压和糖尿病在服药物下受控制。血糖量在禁食后的指数是7.0以上, 偏高。

最近Rajendren 牧师为我的疾病祷告医治。在 CKRM“神的手指头”的 事工时,保罗牧师为我的糖尿病祷告后, 我的血糖指数低过6.0。赞美神! 我相信神已医治我的糖尿病。

从前, 因我的手无力, 很多事我都不能用手去做。来到CKRM领受神的恩膏在我身上后,我的手开始恢复力量。除此之外,行在神的恩膏下, 神也医治我和我儿子的关系。以往 我时常在想我的儿子对我这个爸爸有什么看法? 最近我注意到我的儿子开始对我表示感恩和尊敬。

我的妻子一向来都有背痛的问题。疼痛严重到她在超级市场购物时都须要休息或蹲下来好减轻疼痛。专科医生的治疗没有很大的帮助。她需要吃药或服止痛药来减轻疼痛。有趣的, 在一次的CKRM聚会,保罗牧师告诉我在我身上的恩膏很强并且叫我为我的妻子祷告。我顺服并为我的妻子祷告。从此之后, 疼痛不见了而我的妻子已被完全医治。现在我的妻子甚至可以做园丁,并且在园子里 “翻土” 一个小时。我真诚的相信当神的恩膏在一个信徒身上时,他/她能凭着神的能力做任何事!

赞美感谢耶稣,我们的医治和释放者! 阿门。

--------------------------------------------------------------

牧师的留言:在主吩咐我们在马六甲设立领袖训练中心后, 主把Wong弟兄的名字放在我们的创办人, 保罗牧师和以斯帖牧师的心上, 启示以斯帖牧师这位弟兄将会带领他们到神为CKRM预备的圣所。当Wong弟兄安排我们去观看圣所时。当天当我们一踏进入会所, 神的火就降在我的右手掌,而神的同在降在以斯帖牧师身上,以此印证这是祂为CKRM所预备的。

十字架 / The Cross

在我十四岁的时候,有一次在很深的敬拜中时,我在异象中看到自己去到耶稣的十字架前。那时候我看到耶稣挂在那里,我问耶稣:“主啊你为什么挂在那里?”耶稣简单的回答:“就是为了你!”那一句话深深的打碎我的心,我整个人垮在耶稣面前痛哭,从此,我深深的,无尽的爱着我的主耶稣,没有什么能够使我和主再分离,那时候,我才明白圣经所说:爱如死之坚强…宁愿死,也不再叫耶稣受羞愧。

昨天,在CKRM的时候,保罗牧师在圣灵的带领下问:“谁愿意背起十字架?”当我走出去的时候,我感受到神的爱在空气中环绕着我,于是我举起双手,保罗牧师把十字架放在我的手中。当他把十字架放在我的手中时,圣灵马上充满我,我感觉我整个人深深的拥抱着十字架,我忍不住的痛哭在神的面前,我感受到耶稣为我钉十字架的心情,他的爱、他的降服、他为了我这罪人而放弃他天上的荣华,甘愿成为人的样式,走上十字架的路,为我担当一切的羞愧、责骂、痛苦、忧伤、被神和人离弃……

第一次看见十字架,主让我开始爱上他,这一次,我知道主要我完全的降服他,顺服他至死。主让我明白,我们在这世上,并不是要建立自己的国度,而是建立神的国度。我们被召并不是要作伟大出名的勇士,而是像主耶稣,舍弃自己、谦卑的背起十字架跟随主。我愿意让主在我的生命中动工,以至于我自己在主面前越来越渺小,越来越衰退、直到我不再有自己,直到我完全遗失在主的爱里,而让主在我身上越来越显为大、越来越兴盛,直到基督完全的成形在我里面。

我渴望你,主,我愿你教导我走十字架的路,愿你的旨意形成在我身上,愿你保守我的心我的脚步,使我一生爱你、降服至死,而不半途丢弃你的十字架,羞辱你的名。啊们

Docas Testimony – The Cross

When I was fourteen, I saw a vision of myself going to the cross of Jesus while I was immersed in worship. Back then, I saw Jesus hanging on the cross. I asked Jesus:“Lord, why are you hanging there?”Jesus simply replied:“It is for you” That answer shattered my heart and I collapsed before Jesus and wept. Since then, I deeply and fully love my Lord Jesus; there is nothing that can separate me and the Lord. I understood then, what the bible means when it says:”for love is as strong as death…” (Song of Solomon 8:6a). I would rather die than make Jesus suffer shame and humiliation again.

Yesterday, when I was at CKRM, Ps Paul was led by the Spirit to ask:“ Who is willing to carry the cross?” When I walked out,I felt God’s love surrounding me in the air and I lifted up both my hands. When Ps Paul placed a cross on my hand, the Holy Spirit immediately filled me. I felt my entire being embracing the cross deeply; I couldn’t help but wept grievously before God. I felt how Jesus felt when he was on the cross for me; His love, His obedience, His sacrifice by leaving behind the glory in heaven for a sinner like me, becoming a man,going to the cross,bearing all shame for me、rebukes、pain、grief、abandoned by God and men……

When I first saw the cross, I began to love the Lord. This time, I know the Lord wanted me to surrender completely to Him, obey Him unto death. The Lord let me understand that we are in this world not to build our own kingdom but to build God’s kingdom. We are not called to be famous and great warriors,but to be like Jesus, die to self, humbly carry the cross and follow our Lord. I am willing to let God do what He wants in my life; let me become smaller and smaller before the Lord, reduced till I fully die to myself and is totally lost in His love. Let the Lord become bigger and bigger,more and more vigorous in me till Jesus is fully formed within me.

I long for you, Lord. I desire you to teach me the way of the cross,desire your will be done in me, desire you to guard my heart and steps so that I can love you, obey you unto death, not giving up the cross mid-way and shame your Name. Amen

A New Season in CKRM Singapore - Pastor Mark / 新加坡CKRM的新季节 - 郑文忠牧师

Whenever God wants to lift CKRM Singapore to a new season, He would 1st remove any hindrances to His Glory (house cleaning). So, like a skilled gardener, God began to prune and remove parts of the tree (CKRM Singapore) which has gone bad, before bringing the church to the next level of glory. This is because God has intended the church to display His manifold wisdom and as such, He is also more strict with His household and begins His judgment there (Ephesians 3:10, 1 Peter 4:17).

This is confirmed by a vision God shown a brother whereby he saw a tree with part of its trunk removed. Although the tree was unsightly (with a “V” shaped cut on one side of its trunk), the tree could continue to grow because the part which has gone bad has been removed. If it had not been removed, the rot would spread and eventually destroy the whole tree.

While the “pruning” process was on going, the glory within the house was significantly lower than usual as the hindrances were yet to be dealt with. This situation persisted for a while as the “house cleaning” sent shockwaves through the church and caused the hearts of some to waver and panic.

Though hindrances have been removed, the anointing level was initially low as the worshippers were weighted down by distractions in their minds. The pastor and a director took turns to ask God for forgiveness on behalf of the congregation and to restore the joy of their salvation unto them.

God was gracious and soon, the atmosphere lifted with His glory filling the temple. As Sis Janet anointed Ps Mark and imparted the Shepherd’s anointing to him, heaven opened up and poured down the gifting. The weight of His glory was so strong that Sis Gloria who was standing in the front row, fell under the anointing. The anointing of prophetic came upon Sis Gloria very strongly for the first time in her life and she ministered powerfully under the anointing to many people in the congregation. Fresh anointing also came upon her to entertain the King of Glory. There was much joy in the congregation.

As CKRM enters the new season, God is going to pour down and redistribute His gifting and anointing, so continue to press in.

As His glory returns to the house, we must continue to guard our hearts and minds against the schemes of the enemy. In Numbers, Miriam and Aaron began to talk against Moses because of his Cushite wife, for he had married a Cushite. "Has the LORD spoken only through Moses?" they asked. "Hasn't he also spoken through us?" And the LORD heard this. Unknown to Miriam and Aaron, their irreverence for God’s appointed leader over the Israelites were deemed as sin by God. Miriam was afflicted with leprosy and was banished from the camp for 7 days. God made Himself clear by uttering the following words in Numbers 12:6-9, He said, "Listen to my words: "When there are prophets of the LORD among you, I reveal myself to them in visions, I speak to them in dreams. But this is not true of my servant Moses; he is faithful in all my house. With him I speak face to face, clearly and not in riddles; he sees the form of the LORD. Why then were you not afraid to speak against my servant Moses?" The anger of the LORD burned against them, and he left them.

No matter how anointed or gifted we are in the Kingdom of God, we must not grow arrogant or irreverent to the spiritual authority figures God placed in our lives. Be humble and teachable as to keep pride at bay. “Stay alert! Watch out for your great enemy, the devil. He prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour” (1 Pet 5:8). We must never grow complacent and off-guard as the devil can use “agents”, Christians who have been deceived by the devil to “infect” the body of Christ. Put on the armour of God, lead a consecrated life and be deeply rooted in the Word of God so that you won’t be an easy prey for the devil. While seasons and people may come and go, God remains faithful to CKRM as we remain faithful to Him. Amen.

新加坡CKRM的新季节 - 郑文忠牧师

每当神要带领新加坡CKRM进入一个新的季节, 祂首先会除去任何拦阻祂荣耀的人或物 (大扫除)。就象一个熟巧的园丁, 神会先开始修剪和除去树上(新加坡CKRM)已经朽坏的部份,然后才能把祂的教会带到更高的荣耀领域。这是因为神要祂的教会展现出得知神百般的智慧。因此, 祂对祂的家户会比较严厉而审判也要从神的家起首 (以弗所书 3:10, 彼得前书 4:17)。

神通过一个异象印证在新加坡CKRM的情况。 在七月十一日,神给一位弟兄看见一棵树,在这异象里,这棵树的其中一树干已朽坏,后来这朽坏的树干被切除了。虽然这树很不雅观 (树干的一边有个 “V” 字形的缺口), 但它能继续生长因为朽坏的部份已经被除去。如果那部份没被除去, 腐烂会扩散并且消灭整棵树。

在这一个月里当 “修剪” 的过程还在进行中时, 圣殿里的荣耀比往常来得低弱因为拦阻还没被清除。这局面维持了好一阵子而 “大扫除” 也震动了整个教会, 使一些人的心动摇恐慌。虽然拦阻已经在七月十一日被清除,当天聚会开始时的恩膏还非常低弱因为敬拜者被心里的困扰压制, 无法专心敬拜神。郑文忠牧师和一位董事轮流代表会众向神认罪悔改,并且求神复兴他们救恩的喜乐。

神是满怀怜悯的,气氛很快的急升而祂的荣耀开始充满了整个圣殿。当Janet姐妹将牧羊的恩膏传递给郑文忠牧师的时候, 天堂敞开并赐下属灵的恩赐。神的荣耀是如此的强烈, 把站在第一排的Gloria姐妹击倒在地上。先知启示的恩膏第一次在她生命里那么强的降在她身上。使她第一次在那么强的恩膏底下大有能力地服侍在场的会众。神分赐给她这新的恩膏好让她娱乐我们的荣耀之王。在场目睹这一切的会众都非常喜乐。

当CKRM跨入一个新的季节时, 神会再次赐下和从新分配祂的恩赐与恩膏, 所以大家要继续努力向神求。

在祂的荣耀再次回到祂的圣殿, 我们必须继续警守我们的心思意念, 警惕仇敌的诡计。在民数记 12:1-2, 摩西娶了古实女子为妻。米利暗和亚伦因他所娶的古实女子,就毁谤他,说:难道耶和华单与摩西说话,不也与我们说话么?这话耶和华听见了。米利暗和亚伦不知在神的眼里, 对祂指定的以色列领袖不敬是罪。米利暗出麻风而被逐出营外七天。神在民数记 12:6-9的话语清楚地显明自己, “耶和华说:你们且听我的 话:你们中间若有先知,我 ─ 耶和华必在异象中向他显现,在梦中与他说话。我的仆人摩西不是这样;他是在我全家尽忠的。我要与他面对面说话,乃是明说,不用谜语,并且他必见我的形像。你们毁谤我的仆人摩西,为何不惧怕呢?" 耶和华就向他们二人发怒而去。”

不管我们在神的国度里有多少恩赐或恩膏,我们都不可变的傲慢或对神在我们属灵生命里所安排的领袖不敬。要有个谦卑授教的心, 好叫骄傲远不可近。“务要谨守,儆醒。因为你们的仇敌魔鬼,如同吼叫的狮子,遍地游行,寻找可吞吃的人”(彼得前书 5:8)。我们不可掉以轻心而放下警戒因为魔鬼可以使用“使者”, 被魔鬼欺骗的基督徒来“感染” 基督的肢体。穿上神的盔甲, 过圣洁的生活和在神的话语深深地扎根才不容易成为魔鬼的猎物。虽然不同的季节有不同的人来来去去, 但我们要象神忠实于CKRM那样忠心于祂。阿门!
