Two Poems By Sis Nellie Quek / Nellie Quek姐妹的两首诗


The 12 disciples Christ did choose
To send forth, to preach and to heal
Fishermen, some were they by trade
But none of high “esteem” fitted the bill
Odd it would appear, to the outside world
To choose ‘nonentities’ for such a ministry

Mary Magdalene, during the days of old
Followed the Saviour everywhere He did go
A lady amongst men, yet accepted and commended
For her loyalty, her faithfulness to Christ, her Messiah
Never once was she accused of impropriety
Except when an alabaster flask, she willingly broke

The Lord calls, the Lord chooses, the Lord sends forth 2 by 2
Male and female sent He, for the reaping of the harvest
A male and female team, He did send from Singapore
 To establish His supernatural ministry, across the sea
Their pairing, their unique ministry, the locals could not accept  
Thinking it odd and not of God, they turned their backs on the work of God


The irony, the oddity of it all; our blindness, our sense of self-righteousness
Persecuting, inflicting pain on our brethren, disobeying God’s commandments
Making judgments on things we neither know nor understand
And declaring as odd the things of God, inevitably contending with God
God’s ways are higher than our ways, His thoughts higher than our thoughts
Who then are we to question the things and the ways of God?



The Odd Pair


“It will be hard”, said a man of God to us
When in 2009, Lord, you called us to Malacca
“Prepare yourselves for tougher times ahead”
Malacca will be harder than Singapore, it was foretold

To tip the scale further, you picked an unusual duo
A young Christian, a former man of business and vice
A messy family man, married and divorced
Him, you did pair; with a respectable, married lady

Differing gender, differing culture, differing outlooks
A divorced man, English educated and western oriented
A married woman, Mandarin educated, conservatively Asian
An odd pairing in man’s eyes, shattering society’s norms

The odd pairing; it did present, spiritual and social dilemmas
Amongst the locals, the church and Christian communities
Not husband and wife?  How odd, their expressions said it all
Their silence never could conceal their disdain and their doubts       

Our “odd” pairing and our unique ministry, the locals could not accept
Dubbed odd and an occult, persecution and slander rained heavily upon us
17 months we weathered the storm; rejection and isolation being our norm
Today, the storm is but a fading memory. Our acquittal; the fruits of the ministry

Though discomfited by the “odd” pairing, we obeyed the Lord
And received His blessed assurance, in the form of personal scriptures
God’s ways are higher than our ways, His thoughts higher than our thoughts
From Noah’s ark to the virgin birth, who can comprehend the things of God?
Truly, to obey is better than to disobey

 Nellie Quek姐妹的两首诗
(中文翻译由中国Sarah Shan博士完成)


十二门徒主拣选,布道医治奉差传。

渔夫税吏尽下品,实无一人身份尊。

世人眼中何奇异,小民岂能承事工?


抹大拉的马利亚,古时紧随主脚踪。

异性中间一女子,竟被接纳与肯定。

因她忠诚随救主,挚爱基督无二心。

从未被控不洁净,虽曾受责碎玉瓶。


主召主选主差传,两两收割入葡园。

异性组合自狮城,越洋艰辛建神工。

组合奇异工独特,当地实难予认可。

每每怪之不属神,转背弃绝神事工。


何其愚昧并自义,逼迫弟兄违诫命。

论断己身所不知,弃绝圣言抗拒神。

神之道路实至高,神之意念何其深。

受造岂敢不自量,越位自高指控神?


奇怪的搭配


神人奉命传信息,前路崎岖步履难

时值公元2009,主命开赴马六甲。

“预备己心更壮胆,须知前路多辛艰。

马国更比狮城硬,坚固营垒多争战”


在主眼中仍看小,更选独特奇组合。

年轻信徒未成熟,身份屡屡受责难。

曾经商人家事乱,结婚离婚争议多。

主竟搭配一姐妹,已婚保守受尊敬。


不同性别与文化,外表迥然差异大。

离异男士非传统,英文教育华语差;

已婚女士人保守,传统亚裔华文化。

世人眼见真希奇,震动社会价值观。


奇异搭配兀然现,属灵属世遭困境。

教会团体齐排斥,既非夫妻怎配搭?

荒唐希奇不理解,表现回应自显明。

沉默亦不能掩盖,怀疑鄙夷与不懈。


配搭奇怪工独特,当地教会不可解。

被判怪诞加异端,逼迫毁谤暴雨降。

饱经风雨十七月,每每孤立被弃绝。

而今风雨成退色,欣看累累事工果。


尴尬搭配虽困窘,摒弃为难顺服主。

决然领受祂祝福,各人更得神印证。

神的道路不可测,祂的意念高过我。

挪亚建舟于旱地,童女生子更希奇。

谁能理会神行事?唯知听命胜献祭。


Manifestation of the Holy Spirit - from The Editor's desk / 圣灵的彰显-编辑撰文

    The Lord is pouring His Holy Spirit like never before during these last days.
It is the manifestation of the Godhead himself on earth today. He reveals what the Father and Son (Jesus) are saying and doing in His church today. Cambridge Advanced Learner’s Dictionary defines manifestation as “a sign of something existing or happening, appearance, something clearly shown through signs or actions.”

    Thus, we see the Holy Spirit in the form of a dove at the baptism of Jesus (Matt.3:16); tongues of fire on the Day of Pentecost (Acts 2:3); a pillar of cloud and a pillar of fire in the wilderness (Exodus 13:21).

    The Lord is calling His church to walk in a much higher level of awareness, obedience, understanding, and cooperation with the Holy Spirit. We are to actively engage the Holy Spirit in everything we do for the Kingdom, expecting to see, to hear and experience His manifestation in our presence. Just as in Genesis, He is still creating that which is spoken in Heaven by the Father. That which is spoken by the Father will be revealed by Jesus and then manifested upon the earth by the power of the Holy Spirit, as we walk in constant obedience and holiness unto the Lord.

    The Lord clearly calls CKRM to exercise 1 Cor.2:4,5 - "And my message and my preaching were not in persuasive words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, that your faith should not rest on the wisdom of men, but on the power of God."   These are the modern days of Elijah where miracles, signs and wonders are supernaturally natural in CKRM meetings.  It is the outpouring of the Holy Spirit that produces great manifestation of His Holy Spirit’s power in our midst, not giving fear but drawing us back to the first love of Christ when we first came to accept Jesus as our Lord and Saviour.  So let us be prompt to recognize Him, thank Him and depend totally on His holy presence, constantly obeying Him and allowing the Holy Spirit of the Living God to move freely in His church.

圣灵的彰显-编辑撰文
(中文翻译由中国Sarah Shan博士完成)

主在末世正在前所未有地将祂的圣灵浇灌下来,这是祂的神性在地上的彰显。祂正在显明现今在祂的教会中父与子(耶稣)正在做什么。《剑桥高级英语学习词典》(Cambridge Advanced Learner’s Dictionary)对彰显一词的定义是“所存在或发生事物的标志,表现,事物通过记号或动作清楚地表现出来”

因此,我们在圣经中看到耶稣受洗的时候圣灵如鸽子降下(马太福音3:16),五旬节当日舌头如火焰显现(使徒行传2:3),旷野中有云柱火柱引领(出埃及记13:21)。

主正在呼召祂的教会走在更高的认识、顺服、理解及与圣灵同工中。我们在为国度所做的任何事情中,必须积极参与圣灵的行动,期待看到、听到、经历祂在我们当中的彰显。如创世记中一样,祂仍在按照父在天上所说创造着。当我们持续在主面前走在顺服与圣洁中,父所说的话要通过主耶稣启示,然后藉着圣灵的能力在地上彰显出来。

主清楚呼召CKRM操练哥林多前书2:4,5的经文,“我说的话,讲的道,不是用智慧委婉的言语,乃是用圣灵和大能的明证。”在CKRM的聚会中,如同是以利亚的日子,超自然的神迹、奇事成为自然。圣灵的浇灌使祂的能力在我们中间极大地彰显出来,不但没有使我们惧怕,反而将我们带回对基督起初的爱,如我们在起初接受耶稣为我们的主和救主的日子。让我们来渴慕认识祂、感谢祂、全然倚靠祂的圣洁同在、持续地顺服祂,让永生神的圣灵在祂的教会中自由运行。


6th Joshua Camp - Collection of Campers' Testimonies / 第六届约书亚营会见证集

Dr Sarah Shan (China)

Came to the 5th Joshua Camp in Malacca for the first time but I didn’t receive much from the Lord. However, it does not stop me from further coming to the 6th Joshua Camp as I begin to see many of her old habits have begun to wear off one by one.  I had a dream about the Confirmation Anointing and in this Camp I am so happy the Lord blesses me with this anointing.  Holy Laughter also helps me a lot to overcome my depression and melancholic character.  At one time I feel like crying but the Holy Spirit instead activated Holy Laughter in me.  The Lord does not want me to be sad anymore.  If we have sadness we can unknowingly open ourselves for other unpleasant things like depression, sadness, hopelessness to come into our lives.  I consider many of you so fortunate because you have an easy platform to exercise the Spiritual Gifting that the Lord has given. Once you have the Gifting you must be careful because the enemy will try to steal it from you by putting doubts.  Hold on to what the Lord has given and let it take roots.  Use it wisely and with faith. You will certainly see it will increase from power to power and glory to glory. Thank you Lord.

Sis Marianne (China)

I came from a very traditional church in Beijing.  I did not tell them I came to this Joshua Camp.  I read the announcement from the website http://www.ckrm.org/ and I got interested because I have never heard of the Fire Anointing and the Lord is doing so many things in CKRM.  I am not sure I did the right thing by coming so far from my homeland to attend this camp. Finally, I am glad I did. Anyway, sister Sarah helped me in finalizing all the other details of booking the flight tickets, hotels etc.  The Lord spoke to me before coming to open my eyes to see His works and hear the testimonies of His people in the camp.  In this camp I saw so many manifestation of the Holy Spirit.  It is really an eye opener for me but somehow I feel the peace of God within me.  The Lord says these manifestations are My works so do not be afraid.  I was having a bad flu that I could not talk before coming.  However, when I arrived as I began to worship God the flu was amazingly healed.  When Ps Paul called for waves of Fire to come down I really felt the power of God flowing into me as I opened my heart to receive.

Dr Lilibeth David (Philippines)

I am from the Philippines and this is the first time I received the baptism of the Holy Spirit and Fire. As Ps Paul said the Fire is coming down I felt the power of God filled part of my body.  Interestingly, I felt a headache in my head that comes and go as the power of God came upon me.  I believe the Lord has started to work in my life and it will continue to bless me spiritually.

Karen (Singapore)

I come from a family of 13 members.  One thing I really need is the father’s love.  I have been seeking spiritual things but no fulfillment so far. I have found the love of our heavenly Father in the Camp. I received the Holy Laughter and the Roar of the Lion of Judah.  I find the manifestations of the Holy Spirit in the Camp are very radical but somehow I feel that heaven was on Earth.  I could really feel the presence of the Lord here.

Sis Jenifer Lim (Singapore)

I stopped attending CKRM 3 years ago in Singapore.  Last Friday when I received a call from Ps Paul I was surprised and was speechless at first.  I have never thought of coming back to CKRM.  Somehow last October I had a prompting that I needed God’s power to do the things He called me to do.  I simply need the Anointing of Fire again.  If I want to support a pastor’s ministry especially in prayers and intercession I need God to touch me again.  I am glad I came to this camp because when Ps Paul called for the Fire to come down, I really felt the heat on my back and it was so hot.  Previously what I could not understand the ministry of CKRM. It is so clear now as the Lord spoke to me that what Ps Paul did  in CKRM ministry was prophetic act.

Sis Tan Chui Swan (Singapore)

I do not have any knowledge about the Holy Spirit in the beginning.  When I first baptized in the Holy Spirit and in Fire my hand began to tremble and out of ignorance I tried to hold my hand so that it would not tremble.  The next encounter in CKRM when the power of God hit me I was on the floor was 7 hours. I felt there was a lot of power in me and when I heard a sister was crying I began to cry with her and prayed with her. I did not know that the Holy Spirit had used me to minister to people.  I begin to experience wonderful things because there is a voice that talks to me from within. This voice guides me and corrects me when I make mistakes.  Holy Spirit speaks to me and guides me step by step daily. He also begins to anoint me to play the keyboard well because my knowledge of playing the keyboard was minimal.  I begin to have self-esteem and confidence to do anything that the Lord wants me to do.  I am more and more sensitive to the Holy Spirit each day.  Praise God for bringing me to CKRM.

Sis Isa (Singapore)

I had my first encounter with God in a wonderful manner.  There was an altar church in one of a church meeting and after they prayed for me my body began to tremble.  As worship music starts I began to sway my body in the manner of worship.  This continued even when I was at home.  I began to worship God intensely and I was slained and fell on the floor for hours. I woke up and continued to worship the Lord and fell again. It went on the whole night.  I was tipsy and was drunk in the Spirit but when I shared many Christians could not understand me. In worship I feel my spirit is connected to God’s Spirit.  In worship, the Holy Spirit led me to do many creative moves which many churches could not accept my actions. I felt so depressed that I told God I wanted to stop worshipping him. At the same time I fear God too. One day God told me just to fear Him and not men.  I thanked God for sister Cynthia for bringing me to CKRM.  After empowerment in CKRM I have grown spiritually and at times of worship I could discern the fruits of a person when the Holy Spirit reveals to me the voice of the person’s heart for example the person is loving, caring, full of hatred etc.  I thank God for bringing me to CKRM where indeed the ministry is truly led by the Holy Spirit.

Inga (Singapore)

I would like to thank sister Janet for inviting me to this camp. When Ps Paul called the Fire of the Holy Spirit to come down I felt an experience which I have never encounter before. In everything I do I always seek the Lord first and true enough the Lord spoke to me in a dream to go ahead and attend the Joshua Camp. The Lord said “I am going to anoint you. Open your heart and I will show you my signs and wonders.” The Lord also asked me to read the book of Acts of the Bible. In this camp I can conclude that our God is a faithful God. He is real and forever faithful. Thank you Lord.

Joel How (Malaysia)

I have attended all Joshua Camp without fail and I begin to see the works of God grows from power to power and glory to glory. Too much knowledge of the scriptures without revelation makes us very religious at times. Don’t get me wrong. The Word of God is very important but without the oil (Holy Spirit) to illuminate the Word, the Word just remains as “logos.” Jesus spoke of the leaven in Mark 8:13-21. He was warning them about the influences of the mind that can rob us of the nutrients of revelation and renewal- Bill Johnson. In this camp I observed those who came hungry for God and with a wide opened heart, the Lord never fail to touch them in a special way. Where the wind of God is blowing, we must quickly set our sail to catch the Wind and move with the Holy Spirit. I have been a God chaser for many years. In many meetings the Holy Spirit is present but in CKRM the Holy Spirit moves freely. I thank the Lord because when the storm came in my life, by His grace He made me realized that the Lord is in the boat with me.

The Lord spoke to my spirit so loud and clear that he has not made His beloved faithful children to become orphans when He left Malacca when Ps Paul called us out to be prayed for. Matthew 13:16-17. 16 But blessed are your eyes because they see, and your ears because they hear. 17 For I tell you the truth, many prophets and righteous men longed to see what you see but did not see it, and to hear what you hear but did not hear it. The Lord is marvellous and too good for no words can describe His goodness well enough. I am looking forward to the 7th Joshua Camp in May 2011 and I can’t wait to be part of what the Lord is going to do in 2011.

Sis Nellie Quek (Malaysia)

18th September was a day I remember so well. It was a day preceded by months of spiritual testing and challenges; only to be followed by another two months of uncertainties. It was the day when the Lord put me to the test of obedience. He instructed me to leave CKRM Malacca. Did you say leave? Yes, you heard right. Leave. But where should I go now? The Lord instilled upon my heart to stay at home, spend time in His presence and study His word. Does this mean I am to go to CKRM Petaling Jaya then? Not until the 6th Joshua Camp, was the answer I received.

On the 1st October, I received prompting for a 7 day fast. This was to be followed by a 40 day fast preceding the Joshua Camp. A few days into the latter fast, I encountered difficulties. When I sought the Lord, the word was to stop the fast. Then 1 month prior to the Joshua Camp, my attempts to make online hotel reservation encountered problems. “ Lord, are you telling me something? Am I not supposed to go? ” There was no answer. A week before the Joshua Camp, I finally had the release to attend the camp but only for Saturday, 27th November. Hence when Pastor Paul called me on the 25th, I informed him that I was only going for that one day.

A few days prior to the camp, the prompting came for a “water only” fast for the 3 days of the Joshua Camp. “Oh Lord, grant me the strength to obey” I earnestly prayed. You see, I had never undertaken such a fast in my entire life. Saturday morning saw me up at 6am waiting for the taxi to take me to P.J. for the camp. On waking up earlier, I felt dizzy and unwell and contributing it to low blood sugar, I asked the Lord whether I could have a drink. When I got a “yes”, I quickly asked whether I could also have bread. Hardly a minute after consuming the Milo and the bread, I became so nauseated and threw up everything. After which I felt so ‘normal’ and so good. Praise God. He understood and forgave my moment of weakness.

Midway through Pastor Paul’s sharing that Saturday, I received the prompting that I was to come back the next day. That evening, I went back to Malacca. When I awoke on Sunday morning, I felt sick. I had abdominal cramps, giddiness, nausea and was retching. I felt awful but I know I must obey God and go back to P.J. “Lord, help me. I feel really sick. If the fast is from you, I should be well. I don’t know what is happening.” I then heard a voice instructing me to take honey but only just a sip. When I arrived at CKRM P.J at 8am, I was the complete picture of health ! To God be the Glory.

Needless to say, I had a most blessed time at the 6th Joshua Camp. The anointing was so strong and tangible. At one point, Pastor Paul called for the Malaccans to go to the altar. The anointing was so strong that I was totally overcome by it. We had an awesome time of praise and worship on Sunday. For the first time in my conservative life, I increasingly became oblivious of the people around me, abandoning all restraint and just allowing the Holy Spirit to take full control of me. I felt so alive, praising and worshipping the Lord with my fellow brethren; in unity, and as one, in the body of Christ. I felt like I had finally come home. This is where I belong. Amen.

CKRM is full of power – Sis Rainbow from China

The LORD has opened his arsenal and brought out the weapons of his wrath, for the Sovereign LORD Almighty has work to do in the land of the Babylonians. (Jer 50:25)

The Lord really has a arsenal, I thought it was just an analogy when I first read it.

When Sis Sarah first invited me to go to CKRM, I didn’t plan to go. I was receptive of the charismatic movement and received power for a while before falling away. Subsequently, I didn’t feel much when I attended charismatic meetings and was reduced to just being an observer with much fear and doubt about the charismatic. But I was determined not to give up, I longed to be greatly anointed as to set the captives free so that Christians will enjoy going to church (going to church was sheer torture in the past). When I first became charismatic, I would forsake food and water just to remain in the meetings in fear of wasting even a second of time. How I long for such times to recur again. After reading the postings on the CKRM Website, I felt that the anointing is very strong and seeing that Sis Sarah (who had attended CKRM”s meeting before) was pretty normal too, I was willing to go and take a look.

On the first day, there is still a lot of fear in me, especially the fear of being “contaminated”. Nobody was to touch me and I shook hands with others reluctantly. Furthermore, during charismatic meetings, I didn’t even feel anything and I have at times doubted whether the charismatic experiences I had in the past were real or not. Jesus said “Is not my word like fire,” declares the LORD, “and like a hammer that breaks a rock in pieces? (Jer 23:29). There was someone using a spiritual hammer to smash the strongholds in people’s head and I went out to let a sister to “hammer” me twice (it is like grasping empty air and welding a hammer as if it is there). Back then, I didn’t feel anything but after I was seated, I felt that there was a spot in my head where anointing could now enter (it is hard to explain what anointing is if one has never move in the Holy Spirit). To my surprise, the “hammer” works. I couldn’t explain why but I roughly know what had happened (to me).

Later on, Bro Thomas imparted lighting anointing to me via prayer. With my eyes closed, I could see a red lightning flashed past in the darkness. I thought somebody was taking photographs but it wasn’t the case. Then he (Bro Thomas) imparted the “blowing” anointing to me and I could blow on and on. In the past, I could only looked on like an idiotic spectator during charismatic meetings and perceived that I don’t move in the charismatic but in my heart, I was not convinced. I never thought that I could receive this anointing with a sober mind and without effort. Praying back home, the anointing is strong and it made me realize that I have been greatly restored. Most importantly, I am no longer afraid and suddenly became bold and courageously.

On the second day, I rejoiced when Sis Shan received the “confirmation” anointing. When you talked to her, there is no pretense since she could only reply what is truly in her heart. She told me the principle of being willing to be crucified together with Christ on the cross and I suddenly understood. As I truly understand her (Sis Shan) now, I felt that I should treat her and the brothers & sister better. I especially wanted to treat my husband better. I felt that since we cannot see the hearts of men, we tend to be lacking in compassion. I purpose in my heart not to quarrel upon returning home. Agape also has confirmation anointing, which is those who are slain on the floor with will say “YES ---“ etc with their eyes closed. But in CKRM, I saw this anointing in operation with everybody sober and the power is great.

On the third day, in the midst of worship, I forgave an evangelical shepherd whom I have always been unable to forgive. The worship that day was fantastic; I expressed my longing for Christ. I thought of God coming to save us, not condemn us and I pleaded with Him to give me a God-fearing heart. Later on, as I sat on the floor, Holy fire came falling on me although nobody prayed for me. This is because I made a prayer offering myself willinglyon the Lord’s altar. Bro Thomas gave me “water that turned into wine”, it looked like he was holding empty air in his hands but when I drank it, my mouth tasted wine and I couldn’t stop laughing. I felt overjoyed and my movements were agile. Later on, Pastor Paul gave me fire wine and my mouth was puffing with fire, as if drunk. I am not a drinker but drinking wine this way is great. I can drink more without fear of drunkenness. Once happy, I no longer have worries. The joy of the Lord is my strength.

The brothers and sisters of CKRM were very friendly and imparted their anointing to me. It’s a pity that being the last daym there isn’t much time left. If there had been more time, I would have gotten even more. The first day upon returning home, I was feeling down. But the moment I started to pray, the strong presence of the Holy Spirit caused me to be very happy. CKRM’s anointing is different from other charismatic churches. Indeed, every place has a different and unique anointing; our God is a rich God. CKRM could look into the needs of everyone and is very powerful in spiritual warfare.

Later on, I read in the bible “After he drove the man out, he placed on the east side of the Garden of Eden cherubim and a flaming sword flashing back and forth to guard the way to the tree of life. (Gen 3:24) and discovered “flaming sword flashing back and forth” is one of God’s weapons.


第六届约书亚营会见证集
(中文翻译由中国Sarah Shan博士完成)

Sarah 姐妹

半年前我参加了第五届约书亚营,神给了我很多祝福,虽然我并没有太大感觉,属灵敏感度也很低,然而半年的时间内通过不断操练,发现自己的生命建造和属灵恩赐方面都有很大提升,我决定参加第六届约书亚营。在这之前我得到一个异梦,被告知会得到独特的启示性恩赐。果然,在这次营会中,主赐给了我印证的恩膏,我非常高兴。圣灵喜笑对我的帮助很大,使我战胜长期以来的消沉和抑郁。有过好几次的经历,当我因为某些事伤心想要哭泣的时候,我发现却哭不出来,反而变成大笑,随之心情也被释放。我知道神不让我继续伤心,因为这会给仇敌留下破口,使更多的黑暗权势如沮丧、自怜、消沉进来。我觉得你们在马来西亚和新加坡的弟兄姐妹很有福,因为有CKRM这样的平台操练属灵恩赐,有这样的环境可以被坚固。因为一旦得到属灵恩赐,仇敌会来偷窃,把困惑和怀疑加在人的意念中。所以要持守神所赐的,通过信心并智慧地运用,就会看到恩赐会不断增长,力上加力,荣上加荣。感谢主。

Marianne 姐妹

我来自北京一个传统教会,来参加约书亚营会之前并没有告诉牧者。我在http://www.ckrm.org/ 网站上看到这个事工后很感兴趣,因为以前从未听过圣火恩膏和主在CKRM中的这些作为。我并不知道这么远从中国赶来参加这个营会是否正确,Sarah帮我订了机票和酒店,我最终还是很高兴来到这里。在来之前,我问神我参加的目的是什么,神告诉我来观看祂的大能,开我的眼界。在营会中,我看到了很多的圣灵大能彰显,确实使我眼界大开,感到神的平安。主说这些是我的工作,不要害怕。我在来之前得了重感冒不能说话,但我到达后开始敬拜神后,感冒竟然好了。当保罗牧师说圣火降下时,我感到神的能力降下进入我的里面,我也敞开心来领受。

Dr Lilibeth David

我来自菲律宾,这是我第一次接受圣灵和火的洗。当保罗牧师说圣火降下时,我感到神的能力充满我的身体。有趣的是,我原来感到的头痛,后来当神的能力在我身上时,头疼不见了。我相信神已经开始在我身上做工,并会继续给我属灵祝福。

Karen姐妹

我来自一个有13个成员的家庭。我一直渴慕得到父爱,我也一直追求属灵的事情,但没有什么进展。在营会中,我感受到了天父的爱。我领受了圣灵喜笑和犹大狮子吼。我发现在营会中圣灵的彰显非常强烈,甚至有时我感到在地如在天上。我真的在这里感到主的同在。

Jenifer Lim 姐妹

三年前我在新加坡停止了去CKRM。上礼拜五我接到保罗牧师的电话后,我先是惊讶无言。我从未想过重回CKRM。但10月份我有感动需要神的能力来做祂呼召我做的事情。我需要重新领受圣火的恩膏。如果我要用祷告和代祷支持牧师的事工,我需要神再次触摸我。我非常高兴参加这次营会,当保罗牧师说圣火降下时,我感到后背非常热。之前,我并不理解CKRM事工。现在,神非常清楚地告诉我保罗牧师在CKRM的事工是启示性动作。

Tan Chui Swan 姐妹

我开始的时候对圣灵一无所知。当我第一次领受圣灵和火的洗时,我的手开始颤抖。因为无知,我试图抓住自己的手不让它抖。接下来在CKRM当神的能力触摸我时,我躺在地上7个小时。我感到很多的能力在我里面,当听到一个姐妹哭时,我也开始跟她一起哭并与她祷告。我并不知道圣灵在使用我来服事人。我开始经历很多奇妙的事,因为有一个声音从里面对我说话。当我犯错误时,这个声音会引领我悔改。圣灵对我说话并引导我每天与祂同行。祂也膏抹我来更好的弹琴,因为我弹琴的知识并不多。我开始有了信心来做主要我去做的任何事情。我对圣灵的敏锐度也日益增加。赞美神带领我来到CKRM。

Isa 姐妹

我第一次与神相遇非常奇妙,在一次教会聚会中,当他们为我祷告后,我开始颤抖。敬拜音乐响起后,我的身体开始随敬拜摆动。当我回到家里后,仍然持续着这种敬拜。我开始更强烈地敬拜主,倒在地上几个小时。我醒来后继续敬拜然后又倒在地上,持续了整个晚上。我醉在圣灵里。但当我分享自己的经历时,很多基督徒不理解我。在敬拜中,我感觉自己的灵与神的灵相连。在敬拜时,圣灵引导我做很多创意的动作,很多教会不接受我的动作。我感到很沮丧,告诉神我不要再敬拜了。但同时我也敬畏神。一天,神告诉我要敬畏祂而不要怕人。我感谢神通过Cynthia姐妹带我到CKRM。在CKRM经过装备,我属灵成长很快,在敬拜中,当圣灵向我启示一个人的心声时,我能分辨出这个人的果子,如这个人是否有爱心、关怀或充满仇恨等。我感谢神带我来到CKRM,这真的是圣灵引导的事工。

Inga

感谢Janet姐妹邀请我来参加营会。当保罗牧师说圣灵的火降下时,我体验到了从未有过的经历。在做任何一件事时,我会先求问主,祂在一个梦中告诉我去参加约书亚营。主说,我要膏抹你,打开你的心,我要向你显明神迹奇事。主也要我读使徒行传。在营会中,我看到了神真是信实的神。祂是如此真实、永远信实。感谢你,主。

Joel How弟兄

我参加了历届约书亚营会,从未错过一次。我看到神的工作不断增长,力上加力、荣上加荣。如果有太多的圣经知识却没有启示,我们经常会变得律法主义。不要误会,神的话非常重要,但没有油(圣灵)来启示话语,话语只停留在“logos”上。耶稣在马可福音8:13-21谈到酵的问题,祂警告他们意念的影响——能够把启示和更新的营养夺走(Bill Johnson)。在这次营会中,我看到那些以敞开的心渴慕神的人,无不被主以独特的方式触摸。当神的风吹来时,我们必须迅速扬起帆来乘圣灵之风前进。我寻求神多年,看到在很多聚会中都有圣灵同在,但只有在CKRM,圣灵是自由的运行。当暴风雨出现在我的生活中时,感谢神,因祂的恩典使我认识到主仍在船上与我同在。

当保罗牧师叫我们出来接受祷告时,主对我的灵大声而清楚地说,祂没有留下祂所爱的孩子为孤儿。马太福音13:16-17节,“但你们的眼睛是有福的,因为看见了。你们的耳朵也是有福的,因为听见了。我实在告诉你们,从前有许多先知和义人,要看你们所看的,却没有看见。要听你们所听的,却没有听见。”主是奇妙的,祂的美善无法用言词表达。我期待着2011年第七届约书亚营会,迫不及待地想要成为主在2011年工作的一部分。

Nellie Quek 姐妹

9月18日是我记得非常清楚的一天,这天之前是几个月的属灵试炼和挑战,之后又伴随着两个月的不确定期。这天主把我放在顺服的试验中,祂要我离开CKRM马六甲。你是说离开吗?是的,你听到的对。离开。但我要去哪里呢?主感动我的心留在家里,花时间在祂的同在中,学习祂的道。这是不是说我以后去CKRM八打灵再也呢?直到第六届约书亚营。这是我得到的回答。

10月1日,我被感动要禁食7天,然后接下来在约书亚营会之前40天禁食。在后一个禁食阶段的几天,我遇到了困难。当我寻求主,得到的话是停止禁食。然后约书亚营前一个月,我试图在网上预定酒店,结果遇到困难。主,你在告诉我什么事吗?难道我不要去参加?然而没有回答。约书亚营前一周,我最终获准参加营会,但只是星期六一天,就是11月27日。所以当保罗牧师25日给我打电话时,我告诉他我只在那天参加。

营会前几天,感动我要在营会的三天中禁食,只喝水。哦,主,给我力量来顺服你。我急切地祷告。你知道,在我一生中从未有过这样的禁食。星期六早晨6点,我等候出租车来载我到八打灵再也参加营会。因为起的早,我感到头晕不舒服、血糖过低,我问主是否可以喝点。当我得到“是”时,迅速又问是否也可以吃点面包。不到一分钟时间内,我消灭掉了Milo 和面包。我感到非常恶心,全部都呕吐了出去。吐完后感到正常了,感觉很好。赞美神,祂知道我并原谅我软弱的行为。

在礼拜六保罗牧师分享的时候,我得到了感动,第二天仍然来参加。那天晚上,我回到马六甲。当我礼拜天早晨醒来时,感到不舒服,腹部抽搐、头晕眼花、恶心呕吐。我感觉非常不好,但又必须顺服神去八打灵再也。主啊,帮助我,我真的感到很不舒服。如果这禁食是出于你,我应该很好的。我不知道怎么回事。然后我听到声音告诉我吃点蜜,只一小口。当我上午8点到达八打灵再也时,全然恢复健康。荣耀归神!

毋需多说,我在第六届约书亚营度过了一段最蒙福的时间。恩膏如此厚重可及,到一个地步,当保罗牧师叫马六甲的人到前面时,恩膏如此之厚重,我全然被恩膏击倒。我们在礼拜天度过了一个奇妙的敬拜赞美时间。在我这保守的一生时间里,我第一次感到周围的人变得模糊了,我放弃了所有的矜持约束,单单让圣灵完全掌管我。我感到非常活泼,与我的弟兄姐妹们一同敬拜赞美我们的主,彼此合一如同一人在基督身体中。我感到自己回家了,这才是我所属的地方。阿门!

CKRM满有能力-Rainbow姐妹的见证

“耶和华已经开了武库,拿出他恼恨的兵器;因为主万军之耶和华在迦勒底人之地有当做的事。”(耶50:25)

耶和华真有武库,我原来以为只是比喻而已。

当Sarah姐妹邀请我去CKRM的时候,我是不打算去的。我的状况是接受灵恩之后,有能力了一段时间然后就摔下来了,参加灵恩聚会我没什么感觉,只是个观察者,对灵恩有许多的怀疑和惧怕。但我有不死心,我盼望大有能力,使那些被压制的可以得自由,基督徒可以喜欢去教会(以前去教会简直就是折磨)。刚接受灵恩的时候,我不吃不喝都要守在聚会里,害怕浪费了一秒钟聚会的时间,我多么渴望那样的日子重现。看了CKRM网上的视频,我觉得恩膏很强,又看到去过这个聚会的Sarah姐妹也满正常的,所以我也就愿意去看看了。

第一天还是有许多的惧怕,特别是以前有个毛病怕“沾染”,谁也不准碰我,连握手也很勉强。而且后来到灵恩聚会一直也没什么感觉,我有时候也怀疑我过去灵恩感觉好象不真实。

“耶和华说:「我的话岂不像火,又像能打碎盘石的大锤吗?」”(耶23:29),然后有人用锤子来敲头,打破人的固有思维的硬壳。我也出去让一个姐妹敲了两下(看起来象手拿空气在空中做敲的动作),当时也没感觉,但坐下来后,感觉头部有个地方恩膏可以进入了(没接受过灵恩的是不容易知道恩膏是什么的),所以惊奇锤子真的是有用的。不知道怎么解释,我只是隐约知道怎么回事。

后来Thomas弟兄给我祷告传递雷和闪电的恩膏,我闭着眼真的看到在黑暗中有红色的闪电一闪,我以为是有人拍照,结果没有。然后他传递吹气恩膏,我竟然一直可以吹气了。以前在灵恩聚会我只有傻看的份,我以为我不属于灵恩范畴,但心里又有点不甘心。没想到头脑清清醒醒的也不费劲就得着了。回家祷告的时候恩膏也强,我才知道我恢复了很多了。最重要的是我不害怕了,突然就刚强壮胆了。

第二天很高兴我看到单姐妹得到了“印证恩膏”,跟她谈话的时候她就没有装假的机会了,心里有什么就说什么。 她告诉我主动与主同钉十字架的道理,然后我就突然明白了。因为了解了真实的她,觉得应该对她好一些,应该对弟兄姐妹好一些,特别想对丈夫好一些。我感觉我们看不见人的心,所以总是缺乏怜悯。心里就立志回家不再吵架了。印证恩膏在爱修园也有,就是那些倒在地上的人闭眼说的“YES——”之类的。但在CKRM,大家头脑清醒中,可以看见这个恩膏的运行,能力很大。

第三天我在敬拜的时候突然饶恕了我一直不能够饶恕的一个福音派的牧者。那天的敬拜很好,我表达了我对基督的渴慕。我想到神来是要救我们不是要定我们的罪,也求神给我敬畏神的心。后来我坐在那里,圣火恩膏一直降在我身上,没有人为我祷告,因为我自己祷告愿意献上自己焚烧在主的祭坛面前。后来Thomas弟兄给我喝“水变的酒”,当然看起来就是手捧着空气,但是我喝的时候真的是满口酒味道,然后我就一直笑不停,好象很开心,动作也很灵敏的。后来保罗牧师给我喝火酒,真的是满口冒火,好象是醉了。我是不喝酒的,这样喝酒真好,可以多喝些也不怕醉。开心了,就没有忧虑了。主的喜乐是我的力量。

CKRM的弟兄姐妹真的很友善,巴不得把恩赐都传给我,可惜这是最后一天,没什么时间了,时间多一点儿我会得到更多。回来后的第一天情绪比较低落,可是当我一告的时候,圣灵恩膏很强的同在,让我也很欢喜。

CKRM的恩膏与其他灵恩不同。真的各处有不同的恩膏的,我们的上帝是很丰富的。CKRM能够照顾到每个人的需要,而且在争战方面很有能力。

后来我读圣经,“又在伊甸园的东边安设基路伯和四面转动发火焰的剑,要把守生命树的道路。”(创3:24) ,发现“四面转动发火焰的剑”就是神的武器之一了。


6th Joshua Camp - Bring Revival Fire to the Nations by The Editorial Team / 第六届约书亚营-传递复兴之火到列国(by编辑队)

As the cloud of God was taken up from above the tabernacle, the children of Israel would go onward in all their journeys. We need to know the move of God and obedient to His voice. The Spirit of God descended heavily during the Joshua Camp with God’s voice telling His people whom He called to bring the Revival Fire back to their nations. Many people were called by the Lord from nations like China, Hong Kong, Philippines, Indonesia, French Bahamas, Singapore and Malaysia to attend this camp. Interestingly, the Lord led many highly qualified people like ex-nuclear engineer, doctor, professor, lawyer, administrator and experienced pastors to make a total of about 80 people in the 6th Joshua Camp.

Everyone has a calling. Dr Tamara S. Winslow said “Whatever your calling, whatever your goal in life, be mindful that you’ve been privileged to pay whatever price He requires as He’s called you to walk with Him.” Ps Paul Ang, founder of CKRM emphasized that we need the fullness of the Spirit so that we can walk by faith and see in the Spirit. The anointing will change our lives. An encounter with God is usually a power encounter like Apostle Paul’s encounter with God on the road to Damascus. Without power we are of no threat to darkness. Jesus says “when you believe you will see His glory. 2 Cor 4:18 “So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.” Every talent is given by God. Earth is progressing at great speed but Heaven is divinely more advance than Earth. In CKRM the Lord is pouring out His arsenal as in Jeremiah 50:25 to equip His people to do His will.

Ps Esther shared on Prophesy and Healing on the second day of the camp. In her years as a Christian the Lord has led her to churches to see many things. One issue that burdens her heart is that many people of God are in bondage of sickness and evil spirits but churches are powerless to set them free. As children of God, power is our spiritual birthright. We are given the power and authority to minister to set the captives free. The campers were greatly blessed because they were also taught how to listen to the voice of God. Ps Esther said that she felt deeply saddened because there were incidents where very experienced believers and leaders even questioned her whether we really can hear from God. Campers were also taught to respect spiritual power and authority like cell leaders, pastors and elders even though when they have received great anointing from the Lord. Ps Paul added that if a person cannot discern or hear from God then he cannot minister effectively or unable to follow what God wants to do in ministry. The calling of CKRM is to train, commission and send out believers to advance the Kingdom of God by winning souls for Jesus. We must work with God as quoted by Ps Bill Johnson. Many have experienced the Holy Spirit but many have also missed out the moves of the Holy Spirit. It is by obeying him, walked in holiness and partnering with Him that bring great results in our Christian walk. To walk a Christian life with signs, wonders and miracles we need great faith from the Lord. People have made fun regarding the moves of the Holy Spirit and have had many unpleasant experiences and regretted for doing so. Fire Anointing is an important area where the Lord wants His children to walk as in the book of Acts 4 onwards. We need the Fire of God to burn out all the resistance that hinders us to walk a victorious Christian life the Lord intended. Sins in our lives block the power of God to flow in our lives. Fire of God is needed to purge sins. Zechariah 13:9 “this third I will put into the fire; I will refine them like silver and test them like gold. They will call on my name and I will answer them; I will say, ‘They are my people,’ and they will say, ‘The LORD is our God.’” It is only when a believer has gone through Fire refining and purifying process then he is ready to be set apart and used by God.

The closure was followed by an awesome time of throne room experience of two hours of Praise and Worship. Many had intimate moments in the presence of the Lord. The joy of the Lord is our strength. The experience was so precious because worshippers are lovers of Jesus. As early as in Exodus the Lord’s heartbeat was to set His people free to worship Him. After the worship session the Lord spoke through a sister saying “You have seen My power and glory and do you still doubt? Trust and you’ll be blessed. Received the Kingdom of God. It is in your hand. The staff is in your hand. Do the same like Moses did when he parted the Red Sea.” Five people were specifically raised up by the Lord in this camp. All were called to bring back the Revival Fire back to their nations. The Asian Games Guangzhou’s fire has ended but the Fire of Revival has just begun burning in Nations.

第六届约书亚营-传递复兴之火到列国(by编辑队)
(中文翻译由中国Sarah Shan博士完成)

当神的云柱从会幕之上收起,以色列人开始起营出发。我们需要知道神的行动并顺服祂的声音。在约书亚营会中,神的灵大大降临,告诉祂所呼召的百姓将复兴之火带回自己的国家。来自不同国家的信徒被神带领来到营会,其中包括中国、香港、菲律宾、印度尼西亚、法巴哈马、新加坡和马来西亚。非常奇妙,主带领很多高级专业人士如核工程师、医生、教授、律师、行政管理、资深牧师等共约80人参加了第六届约书亚营。

每个人都有从神而来的呼召。Tamara S. Winslow博士说过:无论你的呼召是什么,无论你生活的目标是什么,切记当祂呼召你与祂同行,你已经给你恩典来付上任何祂所要求的代价。CKRM创办人保罗牧师强调,我们需要圣灵的丰满,使我们通过信心行走,在圣灵中看见。恩膏会改变我们的生命。如使徒保罗在大马色路上一样,与神的相遇是一次有能力的相遇。没有能力,我们对黑暗世界就没有威胁。耶稣说,你若信,就必看见神的荣耀(约11:40),林后4:18“原来我们不是顾念所见的,乃是顾念所不见的。因为所见的是暂时的,所不见的是永远的。”每种才干都是神所赐的。地球在高速运行,而属天领域比地球更快。在CKRM,主赐下祂的武库(耶利米书50:25)来装备祂的子民去遵行祂的旨意。

以斯帖牧师在营会第二天分享了先知预言和医治的信息。在她的基督徒生涯中,神带领她到过不同的教会看到很多事情。她心中的有一个负担,因为很多神的子民被疾病和邪灵捆绑,教会却没有能力使他们得释放。做为神的孩子,能力是我们的属灵天赋,我们被赋予能力和权柄服事,使被囚的得释放。营会参加者都被大大地祝福,他们也被教导如何聆听神的声音。以斯帖牧师说,有时会有人,甚至资深信徒或领袖,问她是否我们会真的听到神的声音,她感到非常难过。营会参加者也被教导即使得到神极大的膏抹,也要尊重属灵能力和权柄,如小组领袖、牧师、长老。保罗牧师补充说,如果一个人不能分辨或听到神的声音,他就不能有效地服事或不能按神的意思来服事。CKRM的呼召是来训练、装备和差派信徒拓展神的国度,为耶稣赢得灵魂。如比尔强生牧师所说,我们必须与神同工。很多人经历圣灵,但很多人也错过了圣灵的运行。只有通过顺服祂、走在圣洁中、与祂同工,基督徒行路才会有大的果效。基督徒一生如果要走在神迹奇事中,需要从主而来的极大信心。很多人拿圣灵运行开玩笑,有很多不愉快的经历,并为此懊悔。圣火的恩膏是主希望祂的孩子们经历的一个重要领域,如使徒行传第四章以后的章节。我们需要神的火来炼净所有阻挡我们过得胜生活的拦阻。我们生命中的罪阻挡了神的能力在我们生命中的涌流。神的火是为了来炼掉罪。撒迦利亚书13:9“我要使这三分之一经火,熬炼他们,如熬炼银子,试炼他们,如试炼金子。他们必求告我的名,我必应允他们。我要说,这是我的子民。他们也要说,耶和华是我们的神。”信徒只有通过圣火的炼净,才能预备好被神使用。

营会的闭幕以宝座前两个小时奇妙的敬拜赞美结束,主的亲密大能同在大大彰显。主的喜乐是我们的力量。这经历是如此宝贵,因为敬拜者是耶稣所爱的。早在出埃及记中,主的心意就是释放祂的子民去敬拜祂。敬拜之后,主通过一个姐妹说:“你已经看见我的能力和荣耀,为什么仍然怀疑呢?相信就必蒙福。接受神的国,它就在你的手中。杖就在你的手里,做摩西所做的,使红海分开”。在营会中,有5个人被主特别地兴起。所有人都被呼召带回圣火到自己的国家中。广州亚运会的火刚刚结束,而复兴之火刚刚开始点燃列国。

My mind is renewed by the power of God - Bro Weiming / 我的心意被神的大能更新-Weiming弟兄

I was born and raised in a christian family. To me at that time Christianity was about going to church on the weekends and the rest of my days I kept on living my own life. Jesus was only for in the weekends. When I finished my university days I started to backslide and eventually had no passion for God in my entire 4 years when I was studying. It was my driest point of my life. I was part of the world and doing things of my own.
When I finished my degree, I started working in KL. CKRM was set up in Malacca at that time and my family was already attending CKRM Malacca. They told me many things about what God was doing in CKRM and it was very different and exciting. I was a bit skeptical and did not understand about the ministry that was because I was living in sins and my mind had not been renewed.

Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is--his good, pleasing and perfect will - Romans12:2

My parents told me there was the Roar of the Lion of Judah, Holy Laughter, Prophetic Dance, Manifestation of the Spirit and many more. I had never heard or seen this before and was doubtful but the thing I noticed was I could see my family's life started to change for the better, so it was good. After much prayers and invitation I decided to pay a visit to CKRM in Malacca. I felt it was a different church, not a mediocre church. They preached about things normal churches would never or seldom talked about like the Holy Spirit, the gifts, supernatural, sign and wonders, anointing, holiness. This somehow excited me. I decided to go and find a church in KL. I began to read books, sermons about Holy Spirit and to understand Him more since I had little knowledge and experience about Him even though I had being going to church since I was small. My hunger for God grew.

I began to ask God so that I could be sensitive to Him after seeing my family members were all sensitive to God. It gave me a holy hunger for more of Him. One day my dad called me and ask me if I wanted to receive the Baptism of Fire from God. I had never heard about this Fire until I came to CKRM but it was written in the bible " He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire. - Matthew 3:11

http://pastorpaulang.blogspot.com/2008/10/fire-anointing-and-its-purpose.html

So my dad prayed for me through the phone from Malacca. I was a bit doubtful and nothing really happened. So he prayed for me for 2 or 3 times and hang up. I was not satisfied and I told God that if I could not receive anything I would go back in the weekend to CKRM Malacca. So I called my father again and this time and when he prayed for me I felt like something stirring in my belly and my whole body felt like in an electricity and I started to tremble, but I felt very happy and I felt God's presence in my body. That was when I knew the Holy Spirit lived in me and my life began to change. It is amazing how God can even touch me through the phone. This shows God can still do great things in us.

"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart." (Jeremiah 29:11-13 NIV)

Ever since God touches my heart my life has been transformed. Addiction and ungodly lifestyle were all broken. I'm more aware of the presence of God now and always guarding my heart, mind and actions and even if I fall into sin the Holy Spirit will convict me and I will repent fast. The fruits of the Spirit is starting to grow.(Galatians 5:22). Christianity to me now is not boring but full of fun, exciting, purposeful and powerful. I'm learning more things especially on spiritual things in CKRM because God is spirit ...those who are led by the Spirit of God are son of God. (Rom 8:14)

Thank you Lord for your Grace and Love poured out for me. All Praises, Worship, and Power belongs to You and You only!

我的心意被神的大能更新-Weiming弟兄
(中文翻译由中国Sarah Shan博士完成)

我生长在一个基督教家庭。那时对我来讲,基督教就是周末去教会,其余时间过我自己的生活。耶稣只是为周末而存在的。当我读完大学,在整个四年学习期间,我后退并最终对神失去了热情。那是我生命最枯干的时期。我成了世界的一部分,做着我自己的事情。
修完学位后,我开始在吉隆坡工作。那时CKRM在马六甲建立了事工,我的家人加入了CKRM马六甲。他们告诉我很多神在CKRM所做的事,非常不同又令人兴奋。我有一点怀疑,不理解这个事工,因为我那时生活在罪中,我的意念还没有被更新。“不要效法这个世界。只要心意更新而变化,叫你们察验何为神的善良,纯全可喜悦的旨意。”(罗马书12:2)
我父母告诉我说那里有犹大狮子吼,圣灵喜笑,先知性舞蹈,圣灵彰显以及其他很多。我以前从未听过或看过这些,对此非常怀疑。但我注意到一件事,就是看到我家人的生命变得更好了,所以这是件好事。经过很多的祷告和邀请后,我决定到马六甲CKRM去。我感觉这是很特别的教会,不是一间普通教会。他们的讲的东西在其他教会中从来不会或者很少会讲,诸如圣灵、恩赐、超自然神迹奇事、恩膏、圣洁等。这在某种程度上激动了我,我决定在吉隆坡找一间教会。我开始阅读关于圣灵的书籍和讲道,想要更多了解圣灵,因为我虽然从小就去教会,但对圣灵所知所经历的太少。我对神的渴慕增加了。

我开始求神使我对祂更敏感,因看到我的家人对神都非常敏感。我对神有了神圣的渴望,想要更多得到祂。一天,我父亲打电话给我,问我是否希望领受神的圣火洗。虽然我在去CKRM之前从未听过圣火,但在圣经上确实写着“他要用圣灵与火给你们施洗”(马太福音 3:11)。下面链接是保罗牧师关于圣火恩膏及目的的文章。
http://pastorpaulang.blogspot.com/2008/10/fire-anointing-and-its-purpose.html

于是我父亲从马六甲通过电话为我祷告。我有一点怀疑,因此祷告中也没有发生什么。于是他为我祷告了2、3次后就挂掉了。我不满足,告诉神如果通过电话不能领受到什么,我就要在周末去CKRM马六甲。我就再次打电话给父亲,这次当他为我祷告时,我感到腹部有什么在搅动,全身也有触电的感觉并且开始颤抖。但我感到很高兴,觉得神的同在在我里面。当我知道圣灵住在我里面,我的生活开始改变。神真是太奇妙了,竟然通过电话触摸我。这也说明神还能在我们里面做更大的事情。

“耶和华说,我知道我向你们所怀的意念是赐平安的意念,不是降灾祸的意念,要叫你们末后有指望。你们要呼求我,祷告我,我就应允你们。你们寻求我,若专心寻求我,就必寻见。”(耶利米书29:11-13)

自从神触摸到我的心,我的生命开始被翻转。嗜好和不敬虔的生活方式完全瓦解。现在我更多地能感受到神的同在并谨守自己的心思、意念和行为。当我不慎犯罪,圣灵会及时光照我并带领我尽快悔改。圣灵的果子开始增长起来。(加拉太书5:22)
现在,基督教对我来讲已经不再是枯燥无味的,反而充满了乐趣和兴奋,是有目的也是有大能的。我正在CKRM学习更多尤其是关于属灵的事情。因为神是灵...凡被神的灵引导的都是神的儿子。(罗马书8:14)

主,感谢你给我的恩典和大爱。一切颂赞、荣耀、权柄都单单归于你!


写在第六届约书亚营会之前 by Sis Sarah/ Prior to 6th Joshua Camp

还有一个月就要迎来了CKRM举办的第六届约书亚营会。回想5个月前因参加第五届营会得到的祝福,充满了感恩,也对本届营会充满了期待。

这几个月时间是我成长最快的一个阶段,从属灵生命、对神和真理的认识、恩赐等各方面都有了很大的突破和提升。我对CKRM事工也有了更多的认识,更加确信这是神在末世兴起的祂自己的事工。我相信人若立志遵行神的旨意,凭圣灵来判断,必会知道CKRM是否是出于神(参见约翰福音7:17)。

在圣火恩膏下,神对我的生命更多的炼净,而且是从生命深处的净化,不像以前那种表面的、浅层次的。我知道自己远没有达到该达到的,但现在我已经看到了自己很多根本问题,知道要从哪些方面来改变。

在CKRM的属灵遮盖下,我能感觉到比以前更多的平安。因为我在网络上会有一些服事,仇敌有时会攻击我的家人。特别是与我同住的我姐姐的女儿,一个14岁的孩子。当我服事某两个姐妹的时候,她就会受攻击。为此我很苦恼,有时看到她那么痛苦,心里很内疚。自从CKRM成为我的属灵遮盖后,这种情况再没有出现过。赞美主。

属灵争战能力也有很明显的提高。尤其是犹大狮子吼使用非常频繁,这对我的代祷很有帮助,实在是神赐下的一个强大的属灵争战工具。2周前的一个主日,聚会中出现搅扰,我也感到教会的属灵空气非常压抑、混乱。我用方言小声祷告,但感觉很无力,没有什么效果,正想要放弃争战的时候,突然感到很强的恩膏降下,狮子吼释放出来。因为所在教会是传统教会,我不能大声,就尽量放低声音以免影响到别人,几声之后搅扰就停止了,而且属灵空气好转,神的同在和平安重新恢复。哈利路亚!

CKRM是个很特别的事工,神要藉着这个事工装备大批属灵争战的勇士,为主耶稣的荣耀再来预备道路。愿神祝福CKRM,并藉此祝福更多祂的儿女。

Prior to 6th Joshua Camp by Sis Sarah

It will be CKRM’s 6th Joshua Camp in a month’s time. I am full of thanksgivings as I recalled the blessings I received during the 5th Joshua Camp, and I am full of expectancy for the move of God in the coming camp.

I have experienced the fastest growth in my life over the past few months and had huge breakthroughs and exaltations in my spiritual life, understanding of God and truth, spiritual gifting and others. My understanding of CKRM ministry has also increased and I am more convicted that this is the ministry God wants to raise up in the end times. I believed that if anyone chooses to do God's will and discerned by the Holy Spirit, he/she would find out whether CKRM comes from God or not. (John 7:17) “If anyone chooses to do God's will, he will find out whether my teaching comes from God or whether I speak on my own.”

Under the Fire Anointing, God has sanctified my life to a greater degree and not merely at the surface level as it usually happened in the past. I know I am still far from what I could attain but now I could see the root cause of many of my problems and know what changes need to be made.

Under the coverage of CKRM, I felt greater peace than before. Before this, as I ministered online, the enemy (the devil) would occasionally attacked my family. The enemy especially targeted at the daughter of my elder sister (my niece), a 14 year old girl who lived under the same roof with me. When I was ministering to two sisters, this niece of mine would be attacked. I felt deeply troubled. Sometimes seeing her suffering, I would feel very guilty. Ever since CKRM became my spiritual covering, such occurrences did not happen again. Praise the Lord!

My ability to wage warfare spiritually has increased too. Especially the Roar of the Lion of Judah has greatly help in my prayer and intercession; it is truly a powerful spiritual warfare weapon that God has given. There was disturbance during service two weeks ago and I also sensed oppression and confusion in the spiritual atmosphere of the church. I prayed softly in tongues but I felt powerless and ineffectively. As I was about to give up, a very strong Anointing suddenly came upon me and I unleashed the Roar of the Lion of Judah. As I was in a conservation church, I could not roar aloud but I did my best to keep my volume down. After roaring I felt I had achieved victory in the spiritual atmosphere.

CKRM is a very special ministry and God is going to use this ministry to equip many spiritual warfare warriors who will pave the way for the glorious return of our Lord Jesus. May God bless CKRM and use it to bless many of His sons. and daughters.

Look at the Cross - A Beautiful Testimony in Poem by Sis Nellie Quek / 仰望十架 - Nellie Quek姐妹美丽的诗歌见证



‘Look at the cross’, said the pastor to me 
What cross? thought I, there’s none to see
Strangely though I did obey and see
The imaginary cross straight ahead of me

‘Touch His garment’, the pastor then said to me
How? For His appearance I could not see
The woman with the issue of blood came to mind
How she touched his garment was before my eyes

In obedience and as the woman did, so did I 
Hand, reaching out to the image before me
Fingers barely touching the hem of His garment
When prostrate I fell, before His holy presence

‘What happened?’ was the question posed to me
I don’t know, no explanation came to mind 
Something powerful was at work in me
The aura of His presence I could not deny

‘Come and drink of the wine’
Invited the pastor, cupping his hands
Copying him, my cupped hands then received
And drank of the wine I could not see 

The wine I could neither taste nor see 
But the effects were plain for all to see
Seated was I, cross legged on the floor
Feeling the wine dribbling down my chin

Forearms busy wiping away at the dribbling chin
I felt the wine was dripping all over me
Oh how the congregants roared with laughter
At 56, it must have been quite a sight to behold

Falling prostrate, being drunk in the spirit
Such was my introduction to CKRM
A year has now passed, my lukewarm life is past
I thank the Lord for CKRM Melaka
Where my true journey with God began

仰望十架 - Nellie Quek姐妹美丽的诗歌见证

‘仰望十架’牧师道,何来十架待我望?

奇也我竟顺服他,双目紧闭心眼看

异像十架现眼前

‘摸祂衣裳’牧师说,不见踪影如何摸?

血漏女人脑海现,摸祂衣裳眼前见

我即顺服仿此女,全凭信心伸出手

手指轻触祂衣裳,俯伏圣洁同在里

‘何以至此?’我震惊,满心疑惑不可解

虽无头绪无启示,但知大能充满我

荣耀同在不可却

双掌合并牧师邀,属天美酒请来尝

我亦合掌来领受,隐形美酒口里送

眼不见之味亦无,效果有目共睹之

双脚交叉坐于地,美酒漫溢两颊滴

双臂忙乱脸颊抹,感觉涔透我全身

会众尽皆哄堂笑,五十有六似幼童

此情此景断难忘

俯伏在地灵里醉

此乃我心底见证,CKRM的简介

一载光阴如箭逝,冷淡生命已消没

感谢恩主马六甲,国度事工祂建立

与神心灵之密旅,此处乃我启程地

CKRM恩膏与超自然事工简介 / Introduction of CKRM Supernatural & Anointing Ministry

相信圣经的基督徒都会说我们的神是无所不知,无所不能,无所不在的。更是大有能力,是超自然的,在祂没有难成的事。

祂赦免我们一切的罪孽,医治我们一切的疾病,救我们的命脱离死亡,以仁爱和慈悲为我们的冠冕。但今日的教会却对疾病无能为力,对污鬼无计可行???没有权柄,也无能力,顶多只能带给病人一点关怀和安慰!

研读使徒行传这本书,看到初期教会的信徒到底具备什么条件是我们今日教会所没有的,为何他们能,我们不能?主耶稣不是说:祂是作日,今日到永远不改变的吗?

我们要如何才能将路加福音 10:19/马可福音16:17-18 的应许,这样的信念运用到我们的日常生活上?亲身体验永活真神的超自然的大能,自由自在,体验祂的大爱的浇灌,享受祂的同在,滋润受伤的人的心。

首先我们这种缺乏神迹奇事的心态需要被改变,百年来,神一波又一波地催促激励信徒们起来实践权能服事,从圣灵第一波的五旬节运功,第二波的灵恩更新运功,第三波的葡萄园运功,到多论多祝福(Toronto Blessing),布朗斯维爾复兴(Brownsville revival)等的圣灵浇灌。可惜的是,这些运动都不能传遍整个基督身体。

国际基督徒事工网络的比爾翰蒙博士(Bill Hamon)说我们正进入圣徒的时代,这代表我们这活在末世的一群将要看见许多新事,以前从没见过,我们的前辈也未见过,神将在普世教会大大的运行,要知道祂正在全世界各地膏祂的百姓,这不是教条,也不是神学上所论的教会,而是要成全基督的身体。许多的人要大大的惊奇,超自然的神迹奇事将不断增加,这将要带领许许多多的人归向基督 ,这不是憑各人的意志或按照什么步骤可以做得起来,而是神自己要施行大能。不是依靠势力,不是依靠才能,乃是依靠神的灵方能成事。(撒加利亚 4:6)

你准备好了吗?你愿意让神的大能透过你涌流出去释放医治需要的人吗?愿意成为末世复兴及收割的器皿吗?实践主耶稣的命令:随走随传,医治病人吗?CKRM 就是在这样的信念下创立的。请点击以下更多详情:

Introduction of CKRM Supernatural & Anointing Ministry

I believe believers will agree that our God is all knowing, all powerful and all present. He is a powerful and supernatural God, nothing is impossible with Him.

He has pardoned all our sins, healed all our sicknesses, redeemed us from eternal death and crowned us with love and mercy. But the churches today are helpless in the face of sicknesses and evil spirits, devoid of authority and power. They can only at best, shower the sick with some care and comfort.

While reading the book of Acts, I wonder what do the believers in the early churches had that the churches today lack? Why aren’t we capable of doing what they did? Didn’t Jesus say God is the same yesterday, today and forever?

How can we see the promises in the gospels of Luke 10:19 and Mark 16:17-18 coming to life in our daily lives? To personally and freely experience the supernatural power of our living God, the outpouring of His love, His presence and letting Him tenderizes and heals the wounded hearts of many.

Firstly, we need to change our attitudes regarding the lack of God’s miracles, signs and wonders. Over the past 100 years, God has send waves after waves to urge and encourage believers to arise and minister in power. From the first wave of the Holy Spirit back to the days of the Pentecostal Movement. The second wave was during the Charismatic Renewal. The third wave was the Holy Spirit outpouring in Vineyard Church to the fourth wave of the Toronto Blessing, Brownsville Revival etc. But it's a pity that these movements did not spread to the entire body of Christ.

Bill Hamon who co-founded Christian International Ministries Network said that we are entering “the Day of the Saints”. This means that we, who live during the end times, are going to see many new things that neither our forefathers nor anybody in the past have seen. God is going to move mightily in the universal church; He is anointing His people all over the world. This is happening not because of doctrine or what theology says about the church but because God himself wants to build up the body of Christ. Many people will be greatly amazed because the supernatural signs and wonders will keep increasing and bringing many people back to Christ. This cannot be accomplished by the will of man or by following some steps but by God demonstrating His awesome power. Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit,' says the LORD Almighty (Zechariah 4:6).

Are you ready? Are you willing to let God’s power flow through you to heal those who need them? Are you willing to be a vessel in the end time revival and harvest? To fulfill the commandment of Jesus to go wherever and whenever to heal the sick? CKRM was set up by such a belief. Please click below for more information:

….These spiritual weapons are mighty to destroy strongholds and yokes, and shatter the gates of Hades. As Ps. Paul used the "hammer" on me, clarity began to come into my mind. I was able after that to set my hand to modify my academic doctorate thesis into a reader friendly version, something which I have wanted to do since I graduated from the Doctor of Ministry program in 2006. The clarity of mind plus the deepened experience of the signs and wonders of the Holy Spirit have also enabled me to revise and expand a book I published in 2004, which is written on the subject of understanding the signs and wonders of the Holy Spirit in God's present move. The anointing of fire on Ps. Paul's life and ministry has also wrought deeper inner cleansing in my life. Most of the conference participants testified to being blessed and revived by Ps. Paul's ministry and the corporate anointing of our church has gone up to another level because of the spiritual breakthroughs our people have experienced….. http://pastorpaulang.blogspot.com/2010/04/testimony-of-pastor-joyce-tai.html

保罗牧师身上火的恩膏和事工也造成我属灵生命得到更深一层的洁净。大多数参加会议的出席者都见证透过保罗牧师和以斯帖牧师所配搭的事工得蒙祝福和被复兴。也因着弟兄姐妹们所经历的属灵突破,我们教会层面的恩膏也被提升到更高的层次……"http://ckrm.org/cn/?p=841"

恩赐的持守与操练-Dr.Sarah Shan姐妹的见证 / Maintaining and practicing my spiritual gifting – Dr Sarah Shan

1.一个运用属灵武器的经历

从第五届约书亚营回来一个月了,感觉应该写点什么。于是做了很多预备,随时把自己的思路和感动记在笔记上。一些天过去,发现笔记上记了很多线索、经文,但我却写不出完整的文章来,因为很零散,而且内容太多。我想整理出提纲来,却做不到。我就想,也许写这个文章的时候不到?或者对CKRM的理解不够深入?

一天早晨,又有感动开始写这篇文章,但仍然很混乱,加之仇敌藉着一些事情攻击我的思想,我感觉自己的思维不够清晰,无法下笔。突然我想起了Joyce Tai 牧师的见证 (http://ckrm.org/cn/?p=841),也想起神藉着保罗牧师给了我意念更新的武器。我奉主耶稣基督的名用这个武器敲自己的头,同时斥责混乱的思想和辖制离开。敲了几下之后,犹大狮子吼被释放出来,伴随着吹角、吹气,同时我也挥舞圣灵宝剑争战。过了20分钟左右,有呕吐的感觉,我知道得了释放,并且喜乐的灵降下,我的思维清晰起来。浸泡在神的同在中,我明白了神要我写什么。神不是要我讲很多道理或引用很多经文来支持自己的观点,神现在只是要我写下自己的经历作为见证。于是我在十分钟之内把提纲写出来,并且补充一些关键内容。

2.恩赐和恩膏需要持守和操练

得到属灵恩赐相对容易,但持守不容易。撒旦不甘心我们得到属灵好处,牠一定会来偷窃破坏。主耶稣讲过撒种的比喻,飞鸟会来吞吃。士师记6:3-4,6“以色列人每逢撒种之后,米甸人,亚玛力人,和东方人都上来攻打他们,对着他们安营,毁坏土产,直到迦萨,没有给以色列人留下食物,牛,羊,驴也没有留下” “以色列人因米甸人的缘故,极其穷乏…”。

我们刚刚得到属灵恩赐,就像神给我们的种子,需要用信心持守,防备仇敌的偷窃和欺骗,并不断操练使恩赐成长。否则我们会像以色列人一样:极其穷乏。

一些被大多数灵恩派基督徒接受的恩赐比较容易持守,如方言、先知预言、医病恩赐等,因为这些恩赐是可见的或可理解的。然而CKRM的恩赐多是用于属灵争战的,了解的人不多,相关知识也少,理性上不容易通过,需要更多地通过信心持守并操练。感谢主,从营会回来这一个月里,CKRM的牧师们和弟兄姐妹通过网络和电话对我有很多服事,继续给我传递恩膏,鼓励我操练,使我能平稳渡过疑惑期,进入更深的经历和理解。

很多人悟性上不明白,就接受仇敌的欺骗,轻易否定这些恩赐和恩膏,于是不继续操练,也就不会去经历,不会有真正的理解,如此落入仇敌的网罗中,最终放弃丢失掉。如果凭信心操练,在逐渐经历中,对恩赐的认识会加深,信心也越来越大,神也会给多开启。赞美神,我们的信仰本来就是“本于信以至于信”(罗马书1:17),“有的还要加给他”(马太福音13:12)。不迈出信心的步伐,永远不会前进。

3. 我在这段期间的改变

a. 靠主喜乐

近几年我很少有喜乐,很难笑出来,我也知道要常常喜乐,但我就是很难笑出来。营会中保罗牧师为我祷告,领受喜乐的灵,回来后保罗牧师和Thomas弟兄又通过网络给我传递喜乐的恩膏,尤其读过保罗牧师转发的一篇关于圣灵中喜笑的文章后(Holy Laughter—What's it All About?),我对喜乐有了进一步了解。我敞开自己的心向神求喜乐充满,感谢神,现在我有很大的突破,脸上经常会带着笑容,很多时候会莫名其妙地笑。

以前经历艰难时,我通常会靠意志敬拜主,在痛苦中赞美,以为能在苦难中保持对主的忠心和爱就是得胜了,当然这很宝贵,但现在我知道那还不是真正的得胜,我们还要在百般试炼中大喜乐”(雅各书1:2)。然而这不是我们自己的力量能达到的,我们是要靠主喜乐”(腓立比书4:4)。以前我也会经常说“靠主喜乐”、“靠主喜乐”,但其实并不真正明白,因为没有经历。现在不同了,有时感到心里痛苦的时候,我会呼求喜乐的灵,马上喜乐充满了我,很轻松地就越过了痛苦。感谢神,祂的喜乐是多么奇妙宝贵的武器呀!不是倚靠势力、不是倚靠才能,惟独倚靠耶和华的灵方能成事(撒加利亚书4:6)。赞美主!

b. 更有能力的祷告

在以前的祷告中,我通常采用较长时间的方言祷告,然后才会有犹大狮子吼,但经过营会后,恩赐被重新激活和加强,现在悟性祷告也经常会运用犹大狮子吼、吹角、打雷等,都是圣灵带领下很自然地释放出来。在家里祷告的时候,为了不影响邻居,我释放狮子吼的时候会把声音压低,使气流主要在胸腔压出,发出的声音就不会太大。我所在的教会是传统教会,但在主日聚会会前祷告的时候,我也采用这种方式使用这些恩赐。

不同恩赐和恩膏是相互效力,但还有一个最基础的恩膏-圣火的恩膏。说实话,开始时我也不知道圣火恩膏到底有什么用,难道只是领受的时候有感觉而已吗?读了保罗牧师圣火恩膏及目的(http://pastorpaulang.blogspot.com/2008/10/fire-anointing-and-its-purpose.html,对我启发很大。现在我知道圣火的恩膏是基础,首先是要有圣火的恩膏,对我炼净,并除去很多仇敌的拦阻,提升我属灵敏锐度,然后其他的恩膏作用才会发挥效力。

赞美神,祂有无限的智慧和大能!

Maintaining and practicing my spiritual gifting – Dr Sarah Shan

1. An experience of using spiritual weapons

It has been a month since returning from the 5th Joshua Camp and I sensed that the Lord wants me to write something. So I made many preparations, constantly noting down my thoughts and sentiments on a notebook. After a while, I realized that there are many “clues” and scriptures on my notebook but I couldn’t write out a complete article because the content was too scattered and too much. I wanted to outline what I wanted to write but I just couldn’t. I began to ponder; probably it is not the time to write this article yet or it is because of my understanding of CKRM is not comprehensive enough?

One morning, I felt the urge to write the article again but it was still in a very messy stage. Furthermore, the enemy attacked my mind through some matters and caused my thoughts to be unclear. I was unable to write. Suddenly, I recalled the testimony of Pastor Joyce Tai(http://www.ckrm.org/?p=2433) where Pastor Paul imparted the mind renewal spiritual weapon to me. I used this spiritual weapon in the name of Jesus to knock on my head while commanding the chaotic thoughts and any mind controlling powers to leave me. After a few knocks, the roar of the Lion of Judah was activated, followed by the shofar and blowing anointing. At the same time I was also wielding the Sword of the Spirit and engaging in spiritual warfare. After 20 minutes, I felt the need to vomit and I knew that I had been delivered. The Spirit of joy came upon me and my thoughts began to clear up. As I soaked in the presence of God, I knew what God wanted me to write about. God didn’t want me to use lots of arguments and scriptures to support my views. Instead He only wanted me to write down my experiences as a testimony. So I outlined what I wanted to write in 10 minutes supported with various key points.

2. The need to maintain and practise spiritual gifting and anointing

Acquiring spiritual gifting is easy but maintaining it is not. Satan is not happy when we prosper spiritually, he will surely come to kill, steal and destroy what we have acquired. In the parable of the Sower, Jesus told us that the birds ate up the seeds that fell along the path. In Judges 6:3-4, “Whenever the Israelites planted their crops, the Midianites, Amalekites and other eastern peoples invaded the country. They camped on the land and ruined the crops all the way to Gaza and did not spare a living thing for Israel, neither sheep nor cattle nor donkeys.” In verse 6 it says “Midian so impoverished the Israelites …”

The spiritual gifting we initially received is like the seeds God gave us - requires faith to maintain, keep away from the deception of the enemy so that it won’t be “stolen” and constantly practise the gifting so that it will grow otherwise we will be like the Israelites who become impoverished.

Some spiritual gifting which most Charismatic Christians received are easier to maintain. These gifting include speaking in tongues, the gift of prophecy, the gift of healing etc. This is because those gifting are tangible and easily understood. However, the spiritual gifting in CKRM is used mainly for spiritual warfare and there are not many people who can completely understand. Relevant information is also scarce and not easily understood by the logical mind. It requires more faith to maintain and practise such spiritual gifting. Thank God, since returning from the camp a month ago, the pastors, brothers and sisters in CKRM continue to minister at a faster pace to me through the internet and phone by imparting the anointing and encouraging me to exercise the gifting. This enables me to minimize doubts and grows deeper in understanding and experiencing the Lord.

Many people who try to understand these gifting and anointing intellectually are easily deceived by the enemy and end up making conclusion these are not from God. They stop practising them and thus, will not experience or have a real understanding of the gifting. So in this way, they fall into the enemy’s trap and eventually abandon the gifting and anointing. If they would have continued practising them by faith, gradually they would have gained deeper understanding of the spiritual gifting and their faith would have grown. God would have also given them more revelations. Praise God, our faith is based on “The righteous will live by faith (Romans 1:17), “12Whoever has will be given more” (Mat 13:12). Without stepping out in faith, one would never go forward.

3. The changes in me during this period

a. Joy of the Lord

In recent years, I have experienced very little joy and could barely laugh. I know that I should always be joyful but I just find it hard to do so. During the camp, Pastor Paul prayed for me to receive the joy of the Lord. After returning home, Pastor Paul and Brother Thomas continue to impart the joy of the Lord to me via the internet. After reading an article “Holy Laughter – What’s it all about” sent to me by Pastor Paul, my understanding regarding the joy of the Lord has deepened. I opened my heart and asked God to fill me with joy. Thank God, I have experienced tremendous breakthrough and my face is always full of smiles nowadays. Many a times, I find myself smiling for no particular reason.

In the past when the going gets tough, I often depend on my will to worship the Lord earnestly. I thought that I had overcome my problems when my loyalty and love for the Lord remained steadfast while going through trials. This is of course precious, but I know now that this is still not real victory. “Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds” (James 1:2). This is not what we can achieve by our own strength but our joy is in the Lord (Philippians 4:4). In the past, I often proclaimed “Rejoice in the Lord” , “Rejoice in the Lord” but I don’t really know what it means because I have yet to experience it. It is different now. Nowadays when in misery, I will ask to be filled with the Spirit of joy and immediately joy will fill me. Going through misery is a breeze now. Thank God because His joy is such an amazing and precious weapon! 'Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit,'(Zechariah 4:6). Praise God!

b. More power in prayer

In the past, I needed to pray for a longer period of time in tongues before the roar of the Lion of Judah could be activated. After the camp, the gifting has been revitalized and strengthened. Nowadays, even while praying with words, I could activate the roar of the Lion of Judah, blowing of the shofar, lighting anointing etc. All these are released naturally by the leading of the Holy Spirit. When praying at home, for the sake of not disturbing my neighbours, I will lower my loudness when releasing the roar of the Lion of Judah by regulating the airflow in my throat cavity. I am still in a traditional church but during the pre-service prayer meeting, I use these methods to practice my spiritual gifting.

Different spiritual gifting and anointing builds up each other but there is one fundamental anointing – The Fire Anointing. Truthfully, I didn’t know what its purpose in the beginning was. Did it serve as an experience? Interestingly, after reading the article on Fire anointing by Pastor Paul (http://pastorpaulang.blogspot.com/2008/10/fire-anointing-and-its-purpose.html),I was greatly inspired. Now I know the reason behind the fire anointing which is the very foundation of a true disciple of Jesus – Fire Anointing purifies me, removes the blockages done by the enemy and enhances my spiritual sensitivity. Once all this is done the other gifting will be activated too.

Praise God, for His wisdom and power which are limitless!

二零一零年六月最新信息与通告 / Latest Update & Announcement - June 2010

我们欢迎Weiming 和Thomas Chong弟兄加入CKRM 网页同工的阵容。Weiming弟兄刚刚为我们的网站http://www.ckrm.org/ 重新换了新的面貌,与时并进。

我们也欢迎身在中国的Sarah副教授加入我们CKRM的编辑队。Sarah 也把我们最近第五届约书亚营的录影片段转换和上载到http://so.tudou.com/isearch.do?kw=CKRM

还有那等待已久,由我们网站团长Victoria姐妹撰写的新书“经历神的荣耀”在约珥弟兄和马可牧师编改后即将出炉。

我们感谢和赞美神带领了更多有才华的同工加入CKRM来推进发展,增进和扩张祂的国度。

以賽亞书60:1-3“兴起,发光!因为你的光已经来到!耶和华的荣耀发现照耀你。看哪,黑暗遮盖大地,幽暗遮盖万民,耶和华却要显现照耀你;他的荣耀要现在你身上。万国要来就你的光,君王要来就你发现的光辉。”第五节“那时,你看见就有光荣;你心又跳动又宽畅。”

CKRM的其中一位领袖见证说她无需再去美容院做脸部护理。因为自从参加了CKRM的聚会和不断的浸泡在神的同在中,她的脸真的容光焕发多了。

那膏油,也就是神的荣耀必使重担离开你的肩头和折断那轭(以賽亞书10:27)也为人们带来医治和释放。一位神的仆人在他出版的书上如此写道:“圣灵居住在所有信徒的身上,但却很少人能留住祂荣耀的同在。”

因此,那些没有神荣耀同在的基本上可说是不曾经历过神。神使用来点燃一九九四年多伦多复兴之火的仆人,Randy Clark如此说:“任何一个不曾与神相遇的人实际上是不认识神的。”

就如箴言书14:4所说的:“家里无牛槽头乾净;土产加多乃凭牛力”,是神的同在吸引人到祂辉煌显赫的教会来!

Latest Update & Announcement - June 2010

We welcome Bro Weiming and Bro Thomas Chong to be part of CKRM Website Team. Bro Weiming has just completed the redesigning of our website http://www.ckrm.org/ thus,moving ahead with times.

We also welcome Associate Professor Sarah who is in China to be part of our CKRM Editorial Team. Sarah has converted the video preview, a short presentation of our recent 5th Joshua Camp onto a Chinese website through this link http://so.tudou.com/isearch.do?kw=CKRM

The much awaited book entitled “Experience His Glory”, authored by our Website Team leader Sis Victoria Ho will soon be published after our Editor, Bro Joel How and Sub-editor Pastor Mark Tay have completed the edition.

We thank and praise God for leading more talented co-workers to CKRM to advance, enhance and expand His kingdom.

Isaiah 60:1-3, “Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord rises upon you. See, darkness covers the earth and thick darkness is over the people, but the Lord rises upon you and his glory appears over you. Nations will come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your dawn.” Verse 5: “Then you will look and be radiant your heart will throb and swell with joy.”

One of our CKRM leaders testify that she doesn't have to go for facial treatment anymore as her
face now is so radiant after soaking in the presence of God at CKRM meetings.

The anointing which is the glory of God breaks the yoke of bondage (Isaiah 10:27) and brings healing and deliverance to the people. A man of God wrote in his book “The Holy Spirit lives in all believers, but the glory of His presence comes to rest on very few.”

Hence, those who do not have the glory of God’s presence rested on them do not have the experience with God. Randy Clark, the man God used to initiate the fire of revival in Toronto in 1994, puts his view this way: “Anyone who doesn’t have an experience with God doesn’t know God.”

It is the presence of God that draws people to a glorious Church as in Proverbs 14:4 “Where there is no oxen, the manger is empty, but from the strength of an ox comes an abundant harvest.”

我在中国一所大学做副教授,原本对CKRM一无所知。但在神的奇妙带领下,发现了这个事工并参加了第五届约书亚营,在营会中经历了神的大能和祝福。以下是我的见证,从计划参加一直到营会结束的经历。

1.决定参加第五届约书亚营

在4月的时候,我在网上搜索爱修园信息时,发现了保罗牧师的BLOG,因为其中有关于爱修园与CKRM断绝关系的文章。我对CKRM事工产生了兴趣,于是详细阅读了保罗牧师的BLOG,首先看了神对保罗牧师和以斯帖牧师的呼召过程,看到两位牧师确实是顺服神的带领创建了CKRM。同时,我又读了一些弟兄姐妹的见证,我主要看的不是神迹奇事,而是要看这个事工是否有生命建造方面的果子。从见证中,我发现了很多弟兄姐妹的生命翻转,不只是表面的神迹奇事而已。于是我心中有了想去CKRM的想法。起初想参加第六届约书亚营,因为现在的工作很忙。但心里总是感觉不平安,好象有个催促,于是最终决定参加第五届约书亚营,心里才平安下来。

2.仇敌的拦阻与争战

当我决定参加营会并做好安排之后,仇敌开始攻击我,我陷入很大的黑暗之中,怀疑、惧怕、混乱攻击我。因为我是爱修园的远距学生,而爱修园已经与CKRM断绝关系。仇敌攻击我的心思意念,使我担心CKRM不是属神的。仇敌的攻击很强烈,我感觉几乎要崩溃,只能在神面前哭求,求神帮助我,告诉我是否是祂要我去CKRM。

家里墙上有一节经文,以赛亚书41:10“你不要害怕,因为我与你同在。不要惊惶,因为我是你的神。我必坚固你,我必帮助你,我必用我公义的右手扶持你。”我手按在经文上呼求神,感觉到平安。

我也想起了这种攻击我曾经经历过。因我刚信主的时候,是在异端中,后来神带领我走了出来。当我要走出异端的时候,也曾受过这种攻击,因为那时对神认识不多,经过了半年多挣扎才走出来。现在的攻击我觉得有些熟悉了,而且我对神的认识比那时要清楚,我知道疑惑和惧怕不是出于神,不是神的拦阻,是仇敌的拦阻。我心里也有很深的一个感动,这次去CKRM会给我的生命带来很大的突破,也要建立起新的连接。

经过一周的争战,我终于胜了过来。但仇敌又开始攻击我的家人,甚至我一个四岁的小侄女进入医院,我动身出发的时候,她已经在医院里近半个月了,为我代祷的几个姐妹家里也受到了攻击。我心里很难过,但我知道我必须去,我对神承诺要放下一切走祂为我命定的道路。从决定去参加营会到动身出发,经过了一个多月的争战,感到身心灵都很疲惫。尤其家人受攻击,真的是很难过。于是带着很沉重的心动身前往CKRM。

3.营会中的祝福

来到了CKRM,感到很温暖,牧师和弟兄姐妹都很亲切,脸上带着笑容,给我很多照顾。以往也参加过一些特会,弟兄姐妹间好像都彼此隔绝,从没有感觉到这么多爱。聚会中很开心,看到神的大能的同时,也感到神做事很有趣,这几天我笑的很多,把一段时间里争战的阴暗和压力释放了出去。

在营会中,从神领受了很多祝福。几个姐妹对我发预言,说神对我的呼召是真的。因为我一直感觉神对我有呼召,但我不肯定,经常求问神。姐妹们的预言给了我印证。后来以斯帖牧师给我祷告的时候,也对我说,神对我的呼召是真的,并对我说不要走在神的前头。神藉着保罗牧师给我传递了宝剑、圣火、意念更新的工具。在营会中,神以前给我的一些恩赐也被加强和激活,如狮子吼、吹气、跳舞敬拜的恩赐。以前我不清楚这些是神给的恩赐,也不知道如何用。

营会结束后,晚上保罗牧师、以斯帖牧师和几位弟兄姐妹继续服事我。神感动保罗牧师,让Elizabeth姐妹给我传递敬拜的恩膏,我开始舞蹈敬拜神。当我跳舞的时候,保罗牧师说我的恩赐刚刚被激活,但当时我不知道这个恩赐对我来讲有多么重要。在回来的路上,当我一想到敬拜,灵里开始跳舞,感到神的很强的同在降下来。回家以后,也是这样的感觉,而且我更渴慕来敬拜神,发现自己想要更深的敬拜祂,与祂有更亲密的关系,更多渴慕祂,我也发现自己对神的爱和渴慕还远远不够。

保罗牧师和以斯帖牧师还为我做了其他很多祷告,重新启动我的狮子吼,并为我的启示性恩赐及其他方面祷告。我相信,神藉着约书亚营会给我的属灵祝福不只是这些,以上只是我知道,但神给我的远超过我所想到的。

晚上十点多,因为要赶第二天早晨的飞机,依依不舍地告别了牧师和弟兄姐妹。以前也参加过一些特会或营会,从来没有这种感觉,感到对CKRM很有感情,舍不得离开。

4.对CKRM的认识

通过这次营会,我对CKRM有了更多的认识,确信这个事工是神所重用和祝福的事工。保罗牧师和以斯帖牧师是在服事神的心。我知道不能把他们的服事与其他事工相比较,因为神所量给每个人的不一样,但我觉得CKRM没有那些虚浮假冒的东西,而是更多的真实。

有些人对像CKRM这样的超自然事工不理解,认为只是单纯追求恩赐和神迹奇事,但通过我自己的经历,我知道不是这样的。就我来讲,我更加想要亲近神,顺服神,过圣洁的生活。读经的时候,也更感觉到神的同在,经文更加活泼起来。营会上保罗牧师、以斯帖牧师和其他牧师对弟兄姐妹也是很严格的教导。还有些姐妹被提到三层天,带着主的话语下来,传达主的忧虑,指出CKRM中存在的问题。这也说明是主在监管着这个事工,要不断引导弟兄姐妹快跑跟随祂。

愿神祝福、保守CKRM,带领CKRM更加进深,并时时警醒,使CKRM按神的心意完成神的托付,走在神对CKRM的最高最完全的命定中。奉主耶稣基督的圣名,阿门!

A university of China associate professor’s unforgettable encounter with God in CKRM Malacca

I am an associate professor of a university in China. Initially, I knew nothing about CKRM but under the amazing leading of God, I stumbled upon this ministry and joined the 5th Joshua Camp. During the camp, I experienced God’s awesome power and blessing. Below is my testimony of what I had experienced from the time I planned to join the camp until the camp was over.

1. Decide to join the 5th Joshua Camp

In April, while I was searching online for information on Agape Renewal Center (ARC), USA I stumbled upon Ps Paul’s blog as it contained an article about the disassociation of Agape Leadership with CKRM. I got interested in the ministry of CKRM and read Ps Paul’s blog thoroughly. Firstly, I read about how God called Ps Paul and Ps Esther and how they obeyed the leading of God to set up CKRM. I also read the testimonies of other brothers and sisters at the same time – I was not looking for signs and wonders but whether this ministry bore any fruits in the process of building up our lives. From the testimonies, I realized that the lives of many brothers and sisters were turned around and not merely just signs and wonders at the surface level. With such positive results, I had the thoughts of going to CKRM to explore. In the beginning, I wanted to join the 6th Joshua Camp as I was busy with lots of work during this season. However, there was no peace in my heart due to a sense of urgency to encounter God. In the end, I decided to join the much earlier -5th Joshua Camp and interestingly peace settled in my heart.

2. The enemy’s obstruction and spiritual warfare

After I have decided to join the 5th Joshua Camp and made arrangements, the enemy began to attack me. I fell into deep darkness; doubt, fear and confusion attacked me as I am a long ‘on-line’ student of ARC, USA and Agape who had disassociated itself with CKRM. The enemy attacked my mind and caused me to question whether CKRM is a ministry of God. The attacks from the enemy was very intense, I felt as if I was going to fall apart. I could only cry before God, pleading with Him to reveal whether He wanted me to go CKRM.

On the wall in my home was a scripture, Isaiah 41:10 “So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.” I cried out to God while placing my hand on this scripture and felt the peace of God again.

I also recalled that I had experienced such attacks before. When I first became a believer, I was in a heretic group. Later on, God led me out of this group. When I was leaving this group, I also experienced such attacks. Back then, I didn’t know God well and it took half a year of struggle before I could leave this group. The attacks I experienced now felt familiar and I knew God much better now as compared to the past. I knew that doubt and fear were not of God and this was not an obstruction from God but from the enemy. I also felt deep in my heart that this trip to CKRM would bring tremendous breakthrough in my life and established new connection.

After a week of spiritual warfare, I emerged victorious. But the enemy began to attack my family members. A 4 year old niece of mine was hospitalized. When I departed, she was already in the hospital for half a month. The families of the sisters who interceded for me were also attacked. I felt sad but I knew I must go – I promised God that I would put down everything to walk in the path He has prepared for me. From the time I decided to join the camp for departure, after more than a month of spiritual warfare, I was exhausted physically, emotionally and spiritually. The attack on my family was truly upsetting for me. With a heavy heart, I departed for CKRM .

3. The blessing during camp

I felt the warmth of the people when I arrived in CKRM. The pastors, brothers and sisters were very friendly with smiles on their faces and they took good care of me. In the past, I have also attended conferences & camps before and the people seemed to isolate one another. I had never felt so much love. I was very joyful throughout the camp. Besides witnessing the power of God, I also felt that the way God did things was very interesting. I laughed a lot during the camp and was released from the oppression and pressure that I had for a while. The joy of the Lord set me free from the one month of torment from the enemy.

During the camp, I received many blessings from God. A few sisters prophesied to me that God’s calling in my life is real. I had always felt that I had a calling but I wasn’t certain and often asked God. The prophesies from the sisters provided the confirmation. Later on, when Ps Esther was praying for me, she also told me that God’s calling in my life was real and told me not to run ahead of God. God used Ps Paul to impart the sword of the spirit, the fire anointing, the mind renewal weapon etc. During the camp, God also increased and activated the anointing of some previous spiritual gifting in me such as the roar of the Lion of Judah, worship anointing etc. In the past, I didn’t know that these were spiritual gifts from God and didn’t know how to use them. The fire of God activated the gifts in me.

After the camp was over, Ps Paul, Ps Esther and a few brothers and sisters continued to minister to me. God prompted Ps Paul to ask sister Elizabeth to impart the worship anointing to me and I began to dance and worshipped God. As I was dancing, Ps Paul said my gift had just been activated. Back then, I didn’t realize the importance of this gift to me. On my way home, whenever I thought of worshipping God, I would start to dance in the Spirit and felt God’s presence descended very strongly on me. After reaching home, I still could feel this way and longed to worship God even more. I realized that I longed to worship Him even more deeply and to know Him more intimately. I also realized that my love and longing for God was still not enough. There was a constant longing to be close to Him.

Ps Paul and Ps Esther also prayed for me on many other things; re-activating my roar of the Lion of Judah and prayed for the gift of prophecy and for many other areas. I knew God through Joshua Camp did not just bless me with these things, but even much more beyond my imagination. I had developed such a affection for CKRM and the brothers and sisters when I felt very reluctant to leave which I had never felt before among other meetings which I had attended in the past.

4. My understanding of CKRM

Through this camp, my understanding of CKRM has deepened. I firmly believed that this is a ministry where God blessed and used me mightily. Ps Paul and Ps Esther have the hearts that serve God and minister according to God’s heartbeat. I know I cannot compare their ministry with others as what God gives everyone of us is different but I felt that there is nothing hypocritical or false about CKRM. On the contrary, it just could not be more realistic and authentic.

Some people do not understand this kind of supernatural ministry that CKRM has and felt that it is just a pursuit after spiritual gifting, signs and wonders. But from my own experience, I know this is not the case. Take me for example, after the Joshua Camp, the Fire draws me closer to God, obey Him and live a holy life. I can feel more of His presence now and the scriptures come alive when I do my devotion. During the camp, Ps Paul, Ps Esther and the rest of the pastors were also very strict when teaching the word of God to the brothers and sisters. Some sisters who went to the third heaven brought back words expressing the Lord’s concerns. They pointed out the existing attitude of some CKRM members. This signifies that the Lord is supervising this ministry and constantly guiding the brothers and sisters to seek more of Him.

May God bless and guard CKRM thus, leading CKRM deeper and to be constantly vigilant so that CKRM will fulfill what the Lord has entrusted us to walk in the good and perfect will of God. I pray all this in Jesus holy name, Amen!

The 5th Joshua Camp Report - Editorial Team / 第五届约书亚营–编辑队报道

The long awaited 5th Joshua Camp has finally arrived. About 90 people attended this camp with great enthusiasm and expectation. Campers came as far as Indonesia, China, India and Australia. As the car needs petrol to burn and drive the engine, we need the Fire of God to empower us to do the will of God in our lives.

This camp consists of pastors from near and far countries seeking for a greater touch from the Lord. Ps Paul shared that to be an effective disciple of Christ, we need the Word of God, the Holy Spirit and Faith, so that God can work in us and through us. As the Holy Spirit came upon the campers, they began to prophesy and moved in the Spirit. Many pastors too were given word of prophesy to further enhance their ministry.

Ps Seth shared from Ezekiel 47- the River of God. All the campers jumped into this spiritual river and were greatly blessed in the Glory of God. It was an awesome experience soaking in His presence! In this river: healing, empowerment and sanctification took place supernaturally.

Ps Paul shared about the story of Kentucky Fried Chicken. Colonel Harland Sanders being old, sold his KFC that he had founded. Many years later he was invited by new owner to be the ambassador of KFC business. In his visit to one of the KFC’s outlet, he was served with a plate of KFC. After eating a portion, he complained that it was not the original recipe which he founded! If apostle Paul were to visit a church today, he would say the same thing too; “This is not my original version of what a church should be.” A church should move in miracles, signs and wonders as in the Book of Acts 4 onwards.

Ps Anna Cheah shared that signs and wonders is a must for a church of Christ. (Mark 16:17 )  “And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues.”

Ps Anna laid hand on the campers and the Holy Spirit saturated the place. With great hunger the campers rushed forth to receive from the Lord. Every vessel was filled and many were drunk in the Spirit and His Glory was so thick in the camp.

A middle aged couple came from Petaling Jaya to this camp for the first time and was greatly blessed at this camp. More interestingly, an associate professor from a well known university in China came all the way from China. With a hungry heart and a child liked faith she was blessed with many gifts of the Spirit. God is not a respecter of person. Three sisters from Indonesia were able to swim and drink in the River of God too. Many were blessed including Bro Augustine from Australia who took leave to come for this purpose. A pastor from India had never experienced the move of the Holy Spirit in a mighty fashion opened his heart for prayers and impartation from CKRM ministers. He was glad he came for the camp and it was an eye opener for him.

Bill Johnson says: "Aren’t you weary of talking about a Gospel of power and seeing no demonstration of it?”

Ps Simone shared about holiness. Holiness duplicates the moral wholeness of Godlike character. It means that we come into a place to conform our will to His. Human can never live in absolute holiness, but Jesus died to give us His. The Bible says all of us are priests and as priests we must be holy before God.(Leviticus 19:2) "Speak to the entire assembly of Israel and say to them: 'Be Holy because I, the LORD your God, am holy.” We need the seven Spirit of God so that we are able to walk in holiness before our Holy God. (Isaiah 11:2) The Spirit of the LORD will rest on him--the Spirit of wisdom and of understanding, the Spirit of counsel and of power, the Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD” so that we can live a holy life. Ps Sitoh continued and shared about the 4 living creatures as mentioned in the book of Revelation 4:8. As a pastor he believed in bringing the Anointing of God to the market place to set the people free and point them to Jesus.

Bro Thomas shared about ‘The Glory of God and Experiencing the Third Heaven. .He was sharing that as a believers, we are given access into third heaven based on our identity in Christ, seated with Him in the heavenly places and as a Citizen of the Kingdom of God With the grace of God, as the campers stepped out in faith during the activation time, many had vision of Third Heaven with awesome encounters. The description of the encounters especially the door (Rev 4:1) which is the gateway to Heaven were similar from a person to another.

Thomas Ong has passion to move in the GLORY realm of God and to demonstrate the Kingdom of God with miracle, signs and wonders. He loves to pray for crazy and outrageous miracle eg. instant weight loss, supernatural hair grow, renewal of youth, dental miracle, healing, deliverance and other creative miracles. Recently, many testified experience Heavenly Glory and third heaven encounter during his ministering.

Ps Esther shared about the Holy Communion in depths to the congregation. It is so important to understand the significance of the bread and the cup so that we can serve mightily with the DNA of Jesus Christ. The camp came to a close with good co-ordination from all parties and most importantly the presence of the Lord. Faith, hunger and holiness are required so that we can be true disciples of Jesus. We need the Fire of God to purify and purge our sins.

Bill Johnson shared that “It is unnatural for a Christian to not have an appetite for the impossible.” He further adds that “we too can move from an intellectual faith and tap into an abundance of miracle-working authority, unleashing the power of God’s glory.”

第五届约书亚营 – 编辑队报道

图片

等待已久的第五届约书亚营终于掀开序幕了。大约九十位带着热忱和期盼的弟兄姐妹参加了这次的盛会。当中有来自远方如印度,中国,澳洲,印尼的弟兄姐妹。车需要汽油来点燃并启动引擎。同样的,我们也需要神的圣火来装备我们,使我们能行出神在我们生命中的旨意。

这次的营会吸引了一些近邻和远方的牧师到来寻求神更大的膏抹。保罗牧师在分享中提到,要成为基督大有能力的门徒, 必备条件是拥有神的话语,圣灵和信心。这样,神才能在我们身上动工和使用我们成为祂的管道。当圣灵降在弟兄姐妹身上时,他们开始在灵里运行和发预言。许多牧师也领受神要如何提升他们事工的预言。

赛特牧师从以西结书47章中分享有关神的生命河流。所有弟兄姐妹都跳入了属灵的河流被神的荣耀给大大的充满。浸泡在神的同在中的美好确实是言语无法形容的经历。在这属灵的河流中,医治,恩膏装备,生命被洁净等都超自然的发生了。

保罗牧师在傍晚的聚会中分享有关肯德基家乡鸡的故事。 哈兰•山德士上校因上了年纪便把他所创办的肯德基家乡鸡卖给人。许多年后,他被邀请成为肯德基家乡鸡的商业大使。在一次造访其中一家分行时,在尝了一口鸡肉后,他决定辞去大使的职位,因那已不是他原创的家乡鸡味道。若使徒保罗踏入今日的教会,相信他也会有同感地说:“这并不是我原创教会的实质。”教会因该有如使徒行传第四章以上的行走在神迹,奇事和异能中。

Anna Cheah 牧师说神迹,奇事和异能是当今教会所不能缺少的。(马可福音16:17)“信的人必有神迹随着他们,就是奉我的名赶鬼;说新方言。”当Anna牧师为会众按手时, 圣灵浸透整个圣所。因着大家都带着饥渴慕义的心到台前来领受,所有弟兄姐妹都大大地被圣灵充满。有些还在灵里醉了。神的荣耀厚厚的遮盖整个圣所。

一对第一次从八打灵再也来的中年夫妇蒙受极大的祝福。更有趣的是一位来自中国一间著名大学的副教授,带着渴慕和孩童般的信心领受了许多属灵的恩赐。神是全能的主宰。三位来自印尼的姐妹也能游和饮用于神的生命河里。许多人都被神大大的祝福,尤其是特别申请假期,千里迢迢从澳洲来的Augustine 弟兄也领受了不少属灵武器。一位从未见证圣灵如此大运行的印度牧师说很庆幸能够来到当中领受祷告和属灵恩赐的传递。对他来说简直是大开眼界。

比尔强生说:“对不断的听闻福音的大能却看不见任何能力的彰显,你难道不感到厌倦吗?”

Simone 牧师谈到省的子民务要圣洁。圣洁意表着整体性的道德,品行和观念都像神的性格。就是来到一个完全遵守,顺从祂所有的旨意。人类绝对无法靠自己得着圣洁,但主耶稣为我们成就了这一切。圣经说我们都是祭司,身为祭司来到神面前我们必须是圣洁的。(利 未记19:2)“你晓谕以色列全会众说:你们要圣洁,因为我耶和华 ─ 你们的 神是圣洁的。”我们也需要神的七灵(以赛亚书11:2)“耶和华的灵必住在他身上,就是使他有智慧和聪明的灵,谋略和能力的灵,知识和敬畏耶和华的灵” 才能活出圣洁的生命。司徒文朝牧师接着分享有关启示录4:8中的四活物。身为牧师的他相信我们应该把神的恩膏带到市场去,使被掳的得释放和把他们引到耶稣面前。

Thomas 弟兄分享有关神的荣耀和第三层天的经历。他说作为信徒,因着我们在基督里的身份和与祂一同坐在天上,又是天国的子民,我们是可以拜访第三层天的。靠着神的恩典,当会众在启动的时段凭信心踏出领受,许多在异像中看到天堂的景色和有惊叹的奇遇。他们所形容的天门(启 示 录4:1)都大同小异。

Thomas 弟兄热忠于在神荣耀的领域里运行和示范神国度的神迹,奇事和异能。他喜欢为着一些疯狂和反常理的神迹来祷告,如即时瘦身,超自然生发,恢复青春,牙龈口腔神迹,,医治,释放等等。最近很多见证通过他的服事,他们经历了天堂的荣耀和有第三层天的奇遇。

以斯帖牧师带领会众更深入的探讨领圣餐的意义。明白主耶稣的杯和饼的真正意义是非常重要。尤其是要带着主耶稣基督的脱氧核糖核酸的大能来服事。营回终于在很好的协调下圆满的结束了。最重要的还是神的同在。要成为主耶稣的真正门徒,信心,渴慕和圣洁是缺一不可的。我们需要神的圣火来炼净和涂抹我们的罪过。

比尔强生说:“一个基督徒若对超自然的是没有胃口,那是非常不寻常的事”他接着说:“我们也能跨越知识上的信心进入丰盛的神迹操作权柄,释放神荣耀的大能。”
