作为人类的我们,靠着自己是绝对不可能拥有一刻的圣洁。我们需要神的同在,也就是神的圣火来洁净和炼净使我们分别为圣。(撒迦利亞13:9, 以赛亚书 4:4, 瑪拉基书 3:2-4).
当神挑旺我的灵来更渴慕寻求祂时,虽然我的牧师不鼓励我千里迢迢的远赴美国去寻求恩膏,并且建议我说在新加坡就可寻着神的恩膏,我还是不对人的声音妥协而单单顺服神的声音,在二零零四年飞往美国参加了一个华文特会。我当时被圣火恩膏和充满得程度真是远超乎我所求所想的!
那一次的经历的确使我大开眼界和叹为观止。我从来都未曾见过带着神如此强大恩膏的仆人。我也亲眼见证了神大能彰显的神迹奇事!
那位加拿大的讲员是吸引会众的焦点人物。也是那美国华文特会和所有参加他课程的学生的祝福。这圣火的恩膏对神呼召和拣选行走在超自然神迹奇事中的人形成了极深的渴慕。
若没了这位加拿大讲员,那美国华文特会将和一般的圣经学院没两样。只有当他服事的时段,整个会所都被那些极度饥渴慕义的信徒挤得水泄不通,为的就是决心要得到神的膏抹。
此后的二零零四至二零零七年里,我不曾缺席过他接下来四年的教导。从他的教导,我确实获益不浅得蒙祝福。后来神呼召我成立一个相似的圣火事工。
在马太福音3:11,使徒约翰说∶“我是用水给你们施洗,叫你们悔改。但那在我以後来的,能力比我更大,我就是给他提鞋也不配。他要用圣灵与火给你们施洗。”当那从天上而来的光(火)照射在保罗身上后,他的生命即刻被改变。从一个逼迫基督徒的人变成一个为福音辩护致死忠心的人。(使徒行传9:3)
圣火是非常重要因为是神的能力。能量(火)是推动引擎使到火车能拉动长长的车厢前进。“火”使我们能驾驶汽车,船和飞机。就如今日先进社会不可或缺的内燃机是完全依靠发动机的气缸圆筒内不断燃烧的化石燃料来启动。
根据新约圣经最少七段经文所记载,我们都有神所赐的属灵恩赐。但我们需要神的圣火来恩膏这些恩赐,好叫我们能活出神所赐给我们的一切。缺少了圣火,我们将无法有足够的能力大有果效地使用这些属灵恩赐。
很多基督徒都被圣灵充满。但很少人能持守祂的大能和荣耀。我们大多数都停顿在使徒行传第二章 ---圣灵降临在信徒身上。我们很多人都说方言,为病人按手和看见教会人数加增。但我们必须跨越使徒行传第四章中所经历的圣灵大浇灌,以便大量的收割成熟的庄稼。就像使徒行传第四章一样,让成千上万的灵魂归入神的国度。
自从基督国度崇高掌权基督中心的事工在二零零七年四月投入服事以来,许多人透过神赐与以斯帖牧师和我的特别配搭领受了圣灵的施洗和圣火的恩膏。以斯帖牧师在神的恩膏下,透过主的启示带领信徒认罪悔改后会为他们祷告被圣灵充满,接着我便会在圣灵的带领下以圣火来恩膏他们。
靠着神的恩典,许多渴慕的信徒被神亲自带领到新加坡和马六甲的CKRM来受膏抹装备,领受圣灵所传递的恩赐来服事,属灵生命被恢复和复兴等等。有些弟兄姐妹甚至领受了圣火的恩膏,当神开始把他们分别为圣时,他们不但能为其他人以圣火施洗,也能行走在神的神迹奇事的事工中。
这圣火的恩膏将吸引那些饥渴慕义的信徒来到这事工被神膏抹装备。在箴 言14:4清楚地记载∶“家里无牛,槽头乾净;土产加多乃凭牛力”。

The Power of Fire Baptism
As human, we cannot even have an hour of holiness. We need the presence of God who is the consuming fire to sanctify and purify us (Zechariah 13:9, Isaiah 4:4, Malachi 3:2-4).
When the Lord stirred my hunger to seek Him, I went to a Chinese Seminary in USA despite my pastor advising me that I do not need to go all the way to USA to seek the anointing as we can obtain the anointing in Singapore.
I did not compromise with the voice of man but in obedience to the voice of God, I went to USA in 2004 and was blessed with the fire anointing, far greater than my expectation.
It really blew my mind set when I met a very powerful anointed servant of God who carried such a mighty presence of God where I truly witnessed the manifested presence of God in meetings with miracles, signs & wonders.
This Canadian speaker is a crowd puller and a blessing to the Chinese Seminary in USA as well as to the students attending his class. The fire anointing draws a special breed of hungry people who God has called and chosen for a powerful ministry of miracles, signs & wonders.
Without the Canadian speaker, the Chinese Seminary in USA is just like any ordinary Bible School. Only during his ministry, the place will be packed with extreme hungry believers determined to catch the anointing.
Thereafter, I had never missed his teaching for four consecutive years from 2004 to 2007. I have been blessed by his teaching. Later the Lord called me to start an identical fire ministry.
In Matthew 3:11 John said, “I baptize you with water for repentance. But after me will come one who is more powerful than I, whose sandals I am not fit to carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire.” The light (Fire) from heaven that flashed on Paul changed him instantly from a man who persecuted the Christians to a man who defended the gospel to his dying days (Acts 9:3).
Fire is a very important product as it is the power of God. Fire is what drives the stream engine to pull the coaches in the train. Fire gives us the power to drive our cars, boats and airplanes. The internal combustion engine, on which we now a necessity of modern day, is totally dependent on the continuous combustion of fire within the cylinders of the engine.
We all have spiritual gifts according to at least seven passages of the New Testament, but we need the fire of God to empower these gifts in order to produce what God desires to give to us. Without the Fire, we have little power to use these gifts effectively with great results.
Christians may be filled with the Holy Spirit but His power & Glory rest on very few. Most of us are struck living in the book of Acts 2 --- when the Holy Spirit falls on His believers. Many of us speak in tongues, lay hand on the sick, and often see people added to the Church but we need to go beyond the book of Acts 4 with great outpouring of the Holy Spirit in order to reap the souls ready for harvest as seen in Acts 4, resulting in thousands being added to the Kingdom of God.
Since CKRM Christian Centre began its ministry in April 2007, many people have been blessed with the baptism of the Holy Spirit and with fire through the unique pairing of Pastor Esther and me. Ps Esther under the anointing of God will baptize believers with the Holy Spirit after leading them to repentance of their sins after the Lord has revealed to her. After she has completed her part of leading the people to a repentance prayer, I will then take over to baptize the person with the Fire of the Holy Spirit through the leading of the Holy Spirit.
By the grace of God, many hungry believers have been led to CKRM Singapore and Malaysia to be empowered and to be imparted with spiritual gifts for ministry as well as having their spiritual lives restored and revived. Some have received the Fire Anointing in order to baptize others with Fire when the Lord begins to consecrate and set them apart for the ministry of miracles, signs & wonders.
The fire anointing will draw hungry and thirsty believers to the ministry for empowerment. This is stated clearly in the scriptures which says “Where there are no oxen, the manger is empty, but from the strength of an ox comes an abundant harvest” Proverbs 14:4
