“Unless the Lord builds the house, its builders labour in vain …” (Psalm 127:1) / “若 不 是 耶 和 华 建 造 房 屋,建 造 的 人 就 枉 然 劳 力 ......”(诗 篇127:1)

(View from Penthouse)

(Penthouse Conference Room)

Being involved with some building projects and properties in Malacca and Kuala Lumpur in the 90s, I would never have imagined that the Lord would bring me back from Singapore to Malacca again to develop properties. After all, I had left the development industry after selling my 50% shares in a company that owned a high rise commercial office building in 2002.

In 2004, the Lord gave me a vision of a beautiful Auditorium with a very large seating capacity. I felt that this was for Malacca as I recalled that Lord said to me in 2003 that revival is coming to Malacca.

I had an extreme encounter while attending a short course in California in 2004. This experience was something like Apostle Paul's Damascus Road Encounter with God. After the course ended, the President of the Seminary invited me for lunch. He shared with me that the Lord has put a burden on his heart to set up a training center in Kuala Lumpur. After that, I shared with him the vision I had received as well as a word given to me by the Lord that there would be a revival in Malacca 500 years after the Portuguese came to Malacca in 1511. Malacca was the old entry point for Christianity through the Portuguese.

I thought it was a divine appointment to meet with this man of God who has the experience, connection and the resources to build the Auditorium which was the reason we visited Malacca together few years ago. After the visit he set up a leadership training center in Malacca.

The Lord sent me & Ps Esther to Malacca in 2009. We came with so much passion to build a supernatural training center. The Lord then told us to cut off contacts with our past associates and He closed all doors in order to put us in the Potter's house to reshape the clay in His hand. At the end of 2010, He revealed that it was time to re-establish contact with my past associates and permitted me to contact my old development partner, Bro Gabriel Eng. Bro Gabriel Eng and I had a joint venture in the development of the 'Legenda Condominium' project in the 90s (Photographs of Building & Penthouse Conference Room).

It is through this molding period that I realize that the vison of building an Auditorium is actually for me to fulfill.

I had my doubt when the Lord told me that my ex-developing partner is now a Christian so when I met him, I was indeed surprised that this 'Temple Towkay' has become a God-chaser. It is indeed true to what the Lord has told me.

In the 90s, we were partners pursuing fame, status and money but today, He put us together to faithfully serve in His kingdom. The Lord said that how He had used us in the natural way, He is now going to use us in the supernatural way. In the 90s, we trusted in chariots and horses, but today we trust in the name of the Lord our God.

With both of us now young in faith and full of fire, zeal and love for our Lord Jesus, we are both so willing to dedicate our lives to the Lord and also to dedicate our properties for His ministries. Recently, the Lord puts a burden on Bro Gabriel Eng's heart concerning a certain ministry. When Bro Gabriel shared with me about the burden, the Lord then brought my memory to the vision given to me about the beautiful Auditorium. Now I could understand now that the Lord has called both of us to build His kingdom and to promote greater unity among brothers and sisters in Christ.

The Lord has prepared us well in past development where we have acquired the skill, resources and connection to do the task that He has given to us. As in Isaiah 55:8, "For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways" declares the Lord.

(Poolside)
Though there are room for expansion within the building which we have developed, Bro Gabriel Eng and I are now moving ahead to acquire the land which the Lord has already identified as His location for the project. The project will include several facilities adopting the concept of a commercial complex with service apartments in a prime location.

As the Bible says, “Unless the Lord builds the house, its builders labour in vain …” (Psalm 127:1). Like Moses who was trained and educated in all the wisdom of the Egyptians and Daniel in the Babylonian ways, the Lord has prepared both of us in the business of development and we are honoured that at our present age, He has called us back into the development field to build His kingdom.  Praise God!

“若 不 是 耶 和 华 建 造 房 屋,建 造 的 人 就 枉 然 劳 力 ......”(诗 篇127:1)

自从九十年代参与一些在马六甲和吉隆坡的建设项目后,我从来没有想象到的是,主会把我从新加坡再次带回马六甲来发展建筑的物业。毕竟,我在2002年把一家拥有一座高层商业办公楼的五十巴仙股份销售了,就离开产业发展的行业。

2004年,主在异象中让我看见一个非常美丽且具有很多座位的的大礼堂。我觉得这应该是在马六甲。因为我记得主在2003年曾对我说,复兴将要临到马六甲。

2004年我在加利福尼亚州的一个短期课程里, 有一个非常特殊的经历。这经历就像是使徒保罗在大马士革与神相遇的情景。课程结束后,学院的院长邀请我共进午餐,与我分享有关上帝把在吉隆坡成立训练中心的负担,放在他的心中。之后,我与他分享主给我看到的异象,以及主启示的话,是有关于葡萄牙人在1511年把基督教带入马六甲后的500年,马六甲将会有一个基督大复兴。马六甲是通过葡萄牙人将基督教传入的旧地点。

我认为这是一个神圣的使命,充满着神人所拥有丰富的经验,连系和资源,来兴建礼堂,这就是我们几年前一起参观马六甲的原因。参观结束后,我们在马六甲成立了领袖训练中心。

在2009年主引领我和以斯帖牧师到达马六甲。我们怀着满腔的热忱到来,以建立一个超自然的训练中心为目标。主告诉我们,要我们与过去的联系同工伙伴断决来往和接触。为了要在陶匠的家中用祂的手重新塑造我们,主也亲自关闭所有联络的门户。在2010年底,主透露我可以重新与过去的同工伙伴联系,并允许我联络从前的建设发展伙伴,Gabriel Eng弟兄。在九十年代,Gabriel Eng弟兄和我有一个合资企业,共同发展“Legenda公寓”的建设单位(参阅公寓及会议室的照片)。

正是通过这个塑造的时期,让我意识到,之前在异象中看见的那个富丽堂皇的大礼堂,实际上是主要我去完成的使命。

当主告诉我先前发展建设的合作伙伴是一位基督徒时,我感到疑惑。可是当我见到他的时候,确实使我感到非常惊讶。这位“庙皇老板”已成为一位神的追随者。主所言的确是真实的事。

在九十年代,我们是合作伙伴,只追求名利,地位和金钱。但今天,神把我们联系在一起,忠实地服务于祂的国度。主说祂以往如何在自然界使用我们,现在却要在超自然领域的服事中使用我们。在九十年代,我们信靠的只是战车和马匹,但如今靠的是耶和华- 我们神的名。

我们信主的日子虽短,内心却充满着对主的火热、渴慕及爱。我们不但愿意奉献生命于主,也愿意奉献产业给神作为事工用途。最近,主把某些事工的负担,放在Gabriel Eng弟兄的心中。当Gabriel弟兄与我分享有关的负担时,主再次把我的记忆带回那美丽的礼堂的异象。现在,我能理解到主是要我们建立祂的国度,以及促进兄弟姐妹在基督里更加的团结和灵里合一。

主已在过去的建设发展行业中预备了我们,就是我们已经获得的技能,资源和连系,做祂托付给我们的圣工。在以赛亚书55:8,“耶和华说,我的意念,非同你们的意念,我的道路,非同你们的道路。”

虽然现有的中心还有很多扩大的空间,Gabriel Eng弟兄与我现在却按着主已经启示的土地位置,进行收购来建造礼堂。该策划的概念, 除了大礼堂外,将采纳一些像似黄金地段商业大楼的建设模式,同时也将设有公寓单位。

正如“圣经”说,“若不是耶和华建造房屋,建造的人就枉然劳力......”(诗篇127:1)。就像摩西在智慧的埃及人里, 所接受的训练和教育,以及但以里在巴比伦的环境中,被预备的一样。主也以发展建设的业务来预备了我们。我们感到很荣幸的是,活了大半辈的日子,主竟带领我们回到发展建设的领域,以建立祂的国度。赞美上帝!



Prelude to the 8th Joshua Camp ( 2nd Dec to 4th Dec ) – From the Editor’s Desk

The 8th Joshua Camp marks a new beginning of CKRM ministry in Malacca.

After completing six Joshua Camp in Malacca and one at CKRM Petaling Jaya, the Lord has begun to reconcile significant servant of God like Rev Mary Eu ( Liu Tsai Fang ) to CKRM. Rev Mary Eu is currently the senior pastor in charge of Singapore Christian Prayer House ( SCPH ). She is now leading the Tuesday 9.30 am Christ Kingdom’s prayer group at CKRM Singapore. Besides Rev Mary Eu, the Lord has brought anointed preachers like Bishop Dr Joseph Akintunde and Prophet John O Temple to connect with CKRM. Dr Joseph Akintunde used to conduct seminars & meetings at our Manhattan House, Singapore in 2004.

In this coming 8th Joshua Camp , Ps Paul Ang will be sharing on 3 important topics:

i)   Ministering Fire Anointing

ii)  What do Manifestations mean quoting Scriptural references and with demonstration of the Word
      in signs & wonders (Mark 16:20 "And they went out and preached everywhere, the Lord working
      with them and confirming the word through the accompanying signs.")

iii) Spiritual Weapons

Manifestation of the Holy Spirit as per the link below:-

http://www.ckrm.org/?p=3310

It is time to usher in our King of Glory into Malacca. Psalms 24 “Lift up your heads, O ye gates; and be ye lift up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in. Who is this King of glory? The LORD strong and mighty, the LORD mighty in battle. Lift up your heads, O ye gates; even lift them up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in. Who is this King of glory? The LORD of hosts, He is the King of glory. Selah.” It is time to come as one Body of Christ so that His will be done in this city. 1 Chronicles 12:32 says “And of the children of Issachar, which were men that had understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do; the heads of them were two hundred; and all their brethren were at their commandment.”By having spiritual discernment and putting our differences aside let us put our hands on the plough and labour together for the coming King of glory.

Are you desperate to experience the Lord? Experiencing personal spiritual dryness? Wants to be baptized by the Holy Spirit and fire? Do sign up for the coming Joshua Camp. To avoid disappointment please sign up early as only limited places are available at the moment. God Bless.


Christ Kingdom's Tuesday Prayer Meeting


On 1.11.2005, Rev Mary Eu (a.k.a Liu Tsia Fang) commissioned the opening of our place for the 1st Prayer Meeting with about 95 people including pastors and Church leaders attending the meeting.

Thereon, there were storms and trials. "A bruised reed he will not break, and a smoldering wick he will not snuff out ..." (Matthew 12:20).

Now, exactly 6 years later on 1.11.11, HE brought Rev Liu Tsia Fang back. God is humorous. Who can understand our God? No one could as His ways and thoughts are higher than our ways and thoughts (Isaiah 55:8).

The venue for Christ Kingdom's Prayer Meeting is held at CKRM Singapore every Tuesday at 9.30 am with address as follows:-

Manhattan House #16-01/02 (Penthouse)
151 Chin Swee Road,
Singapore 169876.

CKRM and Singapore Christian Prayer House (SCPH) will be jointly organizing event i.e overnight year end prayer retreat at CKRM Singapore (29.12.11 to 1st January 2012). Will provide more information in due course.


顺服至死,且死在十字架上 / Obedient to Death: Lord, Thank You for the Fall - Ps Esther Yap

顺服至死,且死在十字架上

11/6/2011 ,置身在马六甲CKRM 事工中心,独自一人躺在床上想着明天俊祥(Elisha)和惠义(Joann)的婚宴要穿那一件衣服?想啊想啊,不知怎的却睡着了。迷迷糊糊中好像听见Joann 的声音 唤着Mummy。。。 我本能的回应“来了”,接着是晴天霹雳的大叫一声“啊哟!痛啊!”

我疼得大喊大叫,跌坐在地板上大哭。。。。

我知道我的脚伤得很重,无法站立起来。好疼。。。。。

我怎么了?发生了什么事?神啊!为什么会发生这样的事?我在哪里出了差错?哪里得罪了祢???祢在管教我??神啊!祢是有恩典,有怜悯的。求祢恩待我,向我显明我的罪, 好让我有机会悔改!神啊。。。。。

主啊!我很痛啊!承受不了,不要丢弃我,不要不理我,求祢恩待我,显明我的罪。我不知道问题出在哪里?不知道那里得罪了祢?不要向我转脸,神啊。。。。。。。

在剧烈疼了一段时间后,只要不移动身体,似乎就不太痛了。比较安静不疼的时候,神带领我到 彼得前书2:13-22 (你们为主的缘故,要顺服。。。。。。他并没有犯罪,口里也没有诡诈)。我在灵里觉得祂在回答我说我并没有在任何地方得罪祂。感谢主!知道自己没有得罪神,我非常喜乐!

但问题是,若没得罪神,无端端的为什么会发生这种事呢?忽然想起明天的婚宴。。。神啊,对不起,我知道祢已把我分别为圣,不要为世俗的一切忧虑,明天的婚宴肯定不能出席了。是祢的心意,我顺服就是了,愿祢的旨意成就,愿祢得满足,得荣耀!

我也要求牧者领袖为我祷告,寻求神到底要向我启示什么。还记得保罗牧师回复我说:“You are suffering for your Calling (你在为你的呼召受苦)” 之后,我垦求神医治我。当我求问神要如何医治我时,神感动我去禁食祷告三天,我只好顺服。当所有人都去了Elisha 和Joann的婚宴,我却独自一人留在中心禁食祷告。

感谢主!三天过去了,我的伤也康复得七七八八了。第四天(15/6/2011)更能自由活动,上下楼梯,也能照顾自己。Gloria 姐妹也领受到神的感动,觉得可以放心回新加坡了。隔天,星期五,伤势已无大碍也近乎全好了的我,更恢复平日的事工,服事来参加小组的肢体。

星期六当天,我回返了CKRM 八打灵再也。我不但能自己提行李箱爬上三楼,更能自由地在“Healing in His Wings”事工中服事。星期天(19/6/2011)早上,感觉上应该是完全康复了。我在完全不疼痛的情形下独自步下楼梯前往机场搭机回返新加坡。我怎么也没想到就在回返新加坡的路途上,脚突然剧烈的开始疼痛!到了樟宜机场,那疼痛更是加剧到无法承受而必须以轮椅代步。

隔天 (20/6/2011)我到诊疗所检查。医生说没有骨折,大概是筋扭伤了。照了X-光后就让我回家去。第三天(22/6/2011),诊所突然来电要我马上入院就医,原因是X-光片显示我有骨折。到了医院,医生在检验了我和X-光片后建议我立刻动手术,因我的情况实属严重性的。医生也为我在这十一天里在马来西亚能到处行动自如,再从吉隆坡机场回到樟宜机场感到大惑不解,以为我在说梦话,更坚持我一定要赶快动手术。

对医生的建议我感到不知所措。自从2003年奉献服事主以来,平日若有任何伤风感冒,除了主耶稣大医生以外,我不大愿意拜访其他医生。当时的我可慌透了,唯有向神祷告。求神显明祂的旨意,是否通过动手术的方法来医治我?还是。。。。

在寻求主的过程中,我发现不论答案是“是”与“否”,神的恩膏都不断地浇灌在我身上。我根本无法分辨什么才是神的旨意。最后我唯有学基甸以羊毛干湿为证的寻求方式(士6:36-40)来决定。我后来拒绝了医生的建议,决定不动手术。医生感到非常意外,以为我的脑子出了问题,便致电Jitson 来说服我不动手术的危险。我向Jitson 解释,我不是不愿动手术,也不是不知道不动手术的危险性。但因寻求了神,答案显示这是祂的心意,我不敢也不愿违背祂的旨意。我更相信我的生命是属神的,祂会保护我,医治我。Jitson听了我的解释后也同意我的决定。最后我要求医生给我三天的时间,若情况依然没有好转,我便回来动手术。在医生的建议下,Elizabeth 姐妹买了一张轮椅要我以此代步。

神非常恩待我。在等候祂超自然医治的日子里,祂除去了我一切的疼痛。我非常的感恩。

28/6/2011, 我带着满怀希望和兴奋的心情回到医院复诊。但、再一次X-光的检验结果是我必须动手术!在那一刻,我的心就如大石般的往海底沉。我感到非常的伤心和失望。脑海中浮现的尽是无数个问号!这到底是怎么一回事?我到底在做什么?神又到底在做什么?我经历了那么多不知所措等候的日子,又是为了什么?

29/6/2011,手术后我哭了一场。不知是为身体的痛而哭,还是为神为何如此待我而哭??记得在痛中我对祂说:-“我没有要求祢一定要以超自然的方式医治我,我只是要顺服祢所以寻求祢的心意。祢指示我禁食祷告,不找中医,我以为祢要医治我。

在新加坡,祢指示我不要动手术。虽明知会有生命危险,世人认为我愚拙,拿自己的生命开玩笑。但我信靠祢,拒绝医生的规劝,我以为祢要医治我。

通过祢的仆人指示我到医院动手术,我当然听从祢的。但、我觉得很委屈、不明白。既然这是祢医治我的方式,那为何允许我走那么多冤枉路?

诚然,祢是我的主,祢有完全的主权,我的生命是属于祢的。所以,我选择不再问你为什么。只求祢赐给我更多力量,恩典去承受这一切,保守我永远不发怨言。主啊!我选择对祢说谢谢。为这次的意外谢谢祢,为这手术感谢祢!我还要对祢说,我要继续奔跑祢给我的路,为祢的名打那美好的仗, 阿门!”

就这样我在医院安静休养,常常喜乐,向主高歌,不论环境如何,。。。。。。常常祷告,耐心等候,主做事有定时,流泪撒种必欢呼收割。。。。这首诗歌成了我的良药益友。。。。。

我在心里默默的哼着:-

主啊我到祢面前,献上我的今天,我的生命,我的一切,献上当着活祭,我与祢同钉十架,如今不是我活着。。。。乃是基督在我里面活着,主啊!我只为祢而活。。。。。不知不觉地我竟然不受控制的哭了起来。还惊动了护士以为发生什么事。

15/7/2011,清晨两点多,我忽然在睡梦中乍醒,感到主的同在非常强。。。是主!祂来了。。。“顺服至死,且死在十字架上,尊贵荣耀为你的冠冕”听到主这温柔的声音,我不禁泣不成声。。。接着而来的是从 11/6/2011开始所发生一幕幕的情景不断地涌现在我眼前。。。从马六甲。。。到新加坡。。。动手术。。。。

还有休养期间Janet 姐妹有一天跑到病房来对我说神感动她要把 路加福音4:3-12节的经文给我。就是主耶稣在出来服事之前被引到旷野受魔鬼的三个试探的经文。紧接着是Elizabeth 姐妹在30/6/2011 来探访我时对我说的一番话。她说:“just as I enter the ward, the Lord said Ps Esther has passed the test, and the anointing came upon her。当时的我听得一头雾水,只回应她“Test? What Test?”后就不了了之了。此刻,这一幕幕都浮现在脑海里。。。。。

现在我终于明白了!原来所经历的这一切都是神把我引到旷野来考验我!哈利路亚,赞美主!原来是这么一回事!是的,天怎样高过地,照样,祢的道路高过我们的道路;祢的意念高过我们的意念(赛55:9)。谁能明白你无限的慈爱,谁能了解你无穷的知慧?没有!一个也没有!

两三天后,在灵修时,当我读到创世记12:2-3 我必叫你成为大国。我必赐福给你,叫你的名为大;你也要叫别人得福。 为你祝福的,我必赐福与他;那咒诅你的,我必咒诅他。地上的万族都要因你得福时, 神的恩膏忽然大大的浇灌下来,我知道神在对我说话。。。。。

这让我想起了在2003年中,时候到了,是兑现对神的承诺,辞去工作奉献与神了。本可向公司领取一笔可观的裁员费,但我领受主要我放弃这笔可观的数目。我挣扎了一段时日后终于抵不过主望着我那忧伤的眼神而决定放弃那笔钱。当时还被同事、亲友们冷嘲热讽,说我傻有钱都不要、嫌钱多不如拿来分给他们等等的。。。后来主对我说祂要赐给我亚伯拉罕的祝福。老实说,当时的我并不明白何谓“亚伯拉罕的祝福”,过后也就忘了这回事。

2006 年当神命令我和Ps Paul 配搭时,因着保守的思想和成长的背景,我痛苦的挣扎好一段时间。有一天,神让我想起在菲利宾宣教时,祂把Esther这个名赐给我。我想,Esther 是为她的民族捨命的,那神把我改成这名就是要我为祂的福音捨命!哎哟哟。。。。。想啊想啊的不尽又泪如雨下。。。算了,死就死吧!我决定顺服祂的命令与Ps Paul 配搭。此后,神再一次的提醒我,祂赐给我的是“亚伯拉罕的祝福”,也赐下经文要我去读创世记12章,我才更进一步的了解这祝福的意义。

现在 祂又再一次的提醒我,坚定祂对我的应许。这是第三次了,感谢祢阿爸父!回首多年来的风雨路,除了感恩,也还是感恩。

主啊,我要对祢说:

感谢您对我生命的呼召和拣选( 路加福音 18:29 18:30 马太福音 19:12

我不知道前面还有多少捆锁于患难要面对,我选择顺服祢。不以性命为念,也不看为宝贵,只要行完我的路程,成就我从主所领受的职事,证明神恩惠的福音。

有一天当时后满足时,愿我能像使徒保罗所说的一样“那美好的仗我已经打过了,当跑的路我已经跑尽了,所信的道我已经守住了。还有主啊,求祢也为我持守祢所赐 给我那尊贵荣耀的冠 冕。阿门!”

Obedient to Death: Lord, Thank You for the Fall

On 11 June, 2011, while lying on the bed, thinking of what to wear for Elisha & Joann wedding lunch reception, I dozed off. I seem to hear Joann’s voice, calling me “Mummy...” I answered “coming”, and within a split second, I fell from my bed, and I shouted:”Ayo! Very pain!” … and started to cry.

I knew the seriousness of my leg injury, as I was not able to stand, and I felt excruciating pain….

Many thoughts flashed through my mind:-” What happened?”, “Oh Lord, why this thing happened?” “Have I done something wrong?”, “Are you disciplining me?”, “You are a God of mercy and grace, please reveal to me my sins, so I have a chance to repent!” ….”Oh Lord, I’m in pain! I can’t bear it, do not forsake me. I don’t know where the problems lies, nor, which area have I sinned against you. Please do not turn your face away from me. Have mercy on me...”

So long as I don’t move, the pain was still bearable. As I quiet myself, the Lord prompted me to read 1 Peter 2:v13-22 (Submit yourselves for the Lord’s sake …..He committed no sin, and no deceit was found in his mouth). I felt in my spirit, the Lord is responding to my earlier questions, that I have not committed any sin that resulted in this fall. I felt better.

If I did not sin against God, why this thing happened? Suddenly, I thought of tomorrow’s wedding lunch reception. I repented before the Lord, as the Lord has set me apart, and He does not want me to worry about worldly matters. I told the Lord if it’s His heartbeat, I’m willing to will obey Him, and not attend tomorrow’s wedding lunch reception. His will be done, and He be glorified.

I asked the Pastor and leaders to pray for me, and seek the Lord for revelation. I remembered Ps. Paul replied: “You are suffering for your Calling”. Then I asked the Lord to heal me, and I felt He wanted me to fast and pray for 3 days. So I obeyed. While everyone went to Elisha and Joann wedding lunch reception, I was alone at the CKRM Malacca Centre, fasting and praying.

Thank God! I felt I have more or less, recovered. On the 4th day (15 June, 2011), I was able to move freely, climbing the stairs, and even able to look after myself. Sis Gloria felt the Lord impressed upon her heart, she could now go back to Singapore. The following day (i.e. Friday), I was able to resume my daily activities, and even ministered to the members who came for the cell group meeting.

On Saturday, I returned to CKRM PJ. Not only could I carry my luggage to 3rd floor, I was able to minister at “Healing in His Wings”. On Sunday (19 June, 2011) morning, I felt as if I have fully recovered. I could walk down the flight of stairs on my own, without any pain, to the airport. However, I never expect on my way to Singapore, I began to feel the pain on my leg. The pain became so unbearable, that I had to be on wheel chair.

The next day (20 June, 2011), I went to the clinic for check-up. The doctor said there was no fracture, but I may have hurt my nerve. After x-ray, I was allowed to leave. However, 3 days later, I received a call from the clinic. The x-ray showed I have fractured my bone, and they wanted me to make a trip to the hospital immediately. After going through the x-ray, the doctor explained my condition was extremely serious, and recommended I should be operated immediately. Not only was the doctor puzzled, but felt I was talking nonsense, when he learned of my moving around in Malaysia for 11 days, and from Kuala Lumpur airport to Singapore Changi airport. The doctor further insisted I should be operated immediately.

I was quite lost. Since I dedicated myself to the Lord in 2003, it’s the Lord who healed me of my flu/cold, as I’m not quite willing to see the doctor. At that time, I began to panic. All I could do is to turn to the Lord, and seek His will if I should go for the operation.

However, regardless of whether the answer was a “Yes”, or, a “No”, I could feel His anointing upon me. I could not tell what God’s will was for me. The last resort was to use the “Gideon’s method” of using the wool fleece (Judges 6:v36-40) to seek God’s direction. I decided to turn down the doctor’s advice, and not to go for the operation. The doctor was quite taken aback, and thought I was “crazy”. He doesn’t permit me to leave. Instead he called Jitson to come and persuade me to go for the operation. I explained to Jitson that it’s not that I’m not willing to go for the operation, nor do I not know of the dangers of not operating. But I have sought the Lord, and got the answer, I dare not, nor am I willing to go against His will. I have a stronger conviction my life belongs to the Lord, that He will protect and heal me. Jitson agreed with what I said. I asked the doctor to give me 3 days. If my condition did not improve, I will come back for the operation. At the doctor’s advice, Sis Elizabeth bought me a wheelchair, as the doctor classified my case as “urgent” and “dangerous”, he advised I need complete rest, and not walk.

I’m thankful to God, who took away my pain, while I wait upon Him to heal me supernaturally.

On 28 June, 2011, I went to the hospital with great anticipation. However, the x-ray showed I still need to go for operation. At that moment, I was extremely disappointed, and I felt as if my heart was like a big rock sinking into the bottom of the sea. Many thoughts and questions flood my mind! I just wondered what’s going on. What am I doing? And what was God doing? If I need to go for operation, why didn’t He reveal to me right from the beginning?

29 June, 2011, I wept after the operation. But I just did not know the reason….was it because of the physical pain? Or, why is the Lord treating me in such a manner? I remembered I told the Lord while I was in pain, “I’m not asking You to heal me supernaturally, I just want to obey you, and so I sought You. I thought You wanted to heal me, when You prompted me not to go to the Chinese Traditional doctor, but to fast and pray.

In Singapore, You prompted me not to go for operation. Though I knew the danger of not going for the operation and though people think I’m foolish, playing with my own life. Yet I trust in You, and rejected the doctor’s advice, thinking You will heal me.

You used Your servant to tell me to go for the operation, I surely listen. But I felt aggrieved. Even if you want to heal me by going through the operation, why do you want me to go through many unnecessary processes?

No matter what, You are my Lord, and You have full sovereignty over me, and my life belongs to You. Though I may not understand why this happen, from now on, I choose not to pursue this. Instead, I only ask You grant me more strength and grace to go through this journey. Preserve me that I will not complain. Oh Lord! I choose to give thanks. Thank you for the fall. Thank you for the operation! I also choose to continue to run the race, and fight the good fight for Your name, amen!”

After this, I was able to quietly recuperate, and while in hospital, the song “Rejoice Always” (常常喜乐) became my source of strength…. “Rejoice always, sing praises to the Lord, not matter what the situation is ….. pray always, wait patiently, God has a time for everything … those who sow in tears will reap with songs of harvest...”

I also hummed the song “Oh Lord, I come before You (主啊我到祢面前)… present to You this day, my life, my all, as a living sacrifice, together we nailed on the cross, now it is not I who live … but Christ that lives in me, Oh Lord! I only live for you ……” unknowingly, I busted into uncontrollable tears, and the nurses were puzzled.

July 15, 2011, at 2 a.m., I was awakened from my sleep, and felt the presence of God very strong … it’s the Lord! He’s here …”Obedience to death, death on the cross, crown you with glory and honour “. Hearing this gentle voice of the Lord, I was chocked with tears … The Lord brought my memories back to 11 June, 2011, beginning from the fall … one scene after another … from Malacca … to Singapore … to operation scene ….

While I was recuperating in the hospital, Sis Janet run up to my ward. She told me the Lord prompted her to pass the bible verse of Luke 4:v3-12 to me. It is about our Lord being tested in the wilderness, before He began His ministry. Next, Sis Elizabeth came to visit me on 30 June, 2011 (a day after my operation). She told me, “Just as I entered the ward, the Lord said Ps Esther has passed the test, and the anointing came upon me”. My responds to her at that moment was, “Test? What test?” Then, I just brush this aside.

Now I understand! All the experiences are the tests the Lord had for me! Hallelujah, praise the Lord! Yes, “As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are Your ways higher than our ways and Your thoughts than ours” (Isaiah 55:v9). Who can grasp Your infinite wisdom, who can fathom the depth Your love? No! Not one!

2 to 3 days later, while doing my quiet time, I was reading Genesis 12:v2-3 “I will make you into a great nation and I will bless you; I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you”. The anointing came upon me very strong, and I knew the Lord was speaking to me …..

This reminded me of an incident in 2003. It was time for me to keep my promise to the Lord, to resign from my job and go into fulltime serving the Lord. I was to be given the early retirement package, which involves quite a large sum of money. However, I felt the Lord wanted me to forego this. I struggled for a while. But when I saw the Lord looking at me with a very sad expression, I decided to forego the money. Not only my colleagues, but my relatives were quite sarcastic to me, making comments that I’m silly not to take the money, and if I find I have got so much money, I might as well distribute the money among them etc…. Later the Lord told me He will give me the “Abrahamic Blessings” (blessings according to God’s covenant with Abraham). Honestly, at that time, I did not understand what this “Abrahamic Blessings” was all about, and I forgot about it.

In 2006, when the Lord commanded me to pair up with Ps Paul for Ministry, I struggled for a long while. This was due to my conservative thinking and upbringing. One day, the Lord reminded me of the incident while I was on a mission trip to Philippine. He gave me the name “Esther”. I remembered in the book of “Esther”, Queen Esther was willing to sacrifice her life, so as to save the people. So when the Lord gave me this name, He wants me to be willing to sacrifice my life for the gospel! While pondering over this…. I wept uncontrollably…..forget it, if I have to die for the gospel, I just have to! I decided to obey the Lord’s command, and pair up with Ps. Paul as ministering partner. Thereafter, the Lord reminded me again, He will give me the “Abrahamic Blessings”, and wanted me to read Genesis 12. I began to understand bit by bit, the significance of this blessing.

Once again, the Lord reminded me, and affirming His promise to me for the third time. Thank you Abba Father! Looking back at the years of trails and tribulation, I could only give thanks to Him.

Lord, I want to tell you:

"Thank you for the call upon my life as per Luke 18:29-30 Jesus said, 'No one who has left home or wife or brothers or parents or children for the sake of the kingdom of God will fail to receive many times as much in this age and in the age to come, eternal life' and Matthew 19:12, '.... others have renounced marriage because of the kingdom of heaven...'

I do not know what’s ahead of me, but I choose to obey You. I consider my life worth nothing to me, all I want is to finish the journey, complete the task You have given - the task of testifying to the gospel of God’s grace."

One day, when my time is up, may I be like Apostle Paul, to be able to say “I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Now, there is in store for me the crown of righteousness." Amen!

Ps Paul Ang invited Rev Mary Eu of Singapore Christian Prayer House through Sis Gloria to come to CKRM Singapore for a reunion after an absence of more than 4 years. We could not have a fellowship earlier because the Lord's heartbeat was to place our priority to concentrate and focus on the ministry that He has called us.


The 7th Joshua Camp Report - From the Editor's Desk/第七届约书亚营-编缉部报道

God commanded his children to be holy as He is holy. In order to walk in the Power of Christ we must live a Christian life of purity. When the message of the Kingdom of God is preached there should be a demonstration of God’s power. Signs, wonders and miracles always follow while preaching the gospel because these are testimonies of the Kingdom of God. We as children of God carry the DNA of the Supernatural God. Jesus lived a life of total obedience to the Father thus, preserving the purity and fullness of the perfect spiritual DNA of God in his life.

God is calling his church to a time of sanctification, so that we can become a blemish free bride for Christ's return and to be set free from all that hold us captive in our lives and stop us from moving forward with God and coming into our God given destiny. Inner healing and deliverance are incomplete and inadequate without each other. Reconciliation between the fields of inner healing and deliverance will help to bring freedom, wholeness and maturity to the Body of Christ. Sis Gloria and Sis Mary conducted the Inner Healing and Deliverance lessons with explanation on how Christians could be brought into bondage because of generational curse, praying to idols, hurts, anger, guilt and other bondages that made us sin against God. Sis Gloria explained in depth how we can co-operate with the Holy Spirit during the practical steps of the Inner Healing and Deliverance session.

Many campers had tremendous breakthroughs during the Inner Healing and Deliverance session. Sis Georgina saw a vision of a straight line where a man was carrying a luggage and as he walked down the line his baggage (burden) was falling away. As she reached the end of the line she saw plenty of burdens lifted off into the sky like balloons. The souls of the campers were purified and liberated. Sister Jessie was cleansed off the fear spirit of facing her future. Now she puts God as her first priority above everything else. Sister Jeannie testified she was set free of the spirit of guilt and the more she yielded herself and co-operated with the Holy Spirit the more she was cleansed. At one stage she literally felt itchiness like ants crawling on her hands and she shook off all the ungodly spirit in her life. A pastor from Kuala Lumpur also felt that something went out through his throat during deliverance. After the inner healing Bro Thomas ministered and many campers experienced instant healing in their physical bodies as they had undergone cleansing during the earlier session.

During the final day of camp, Ps O.K. Tian a pastor with an experience of 40 years shared Luke chapter 5: 36-39 to the campers. He went on to elaborate on the effect of drinking new wine. New wine would bring a very fast and strong effect upon the drinker. He believed that the Lord will be pouring more new wine in the near future. We, as believers should be prepared to drink more new wine, press in and thirst for the outpouring of this new wine from the Lord. As a senior pastor he observed that CKRM was able to drink new wine as much as the Lord poured on them. As the spirit led, Ps Paul extended the invitation to Ps O.K.Tian to be included as one the advisors of CKRM and it was confirmed by the Holy Spirit.

The Lord raised 5 persons with great anointing upon them in preparation for His ministry when the right time comes. The Lord continuously puts tests on His called, chosen and the faithful children so that they can forward His Kingdom. A brother and a sister were also baptised at Legenda Condominium swimming pool during this camp. The brother received a new name called Joseph which means “God will increase.” The Lord gave Genesis 41:18 to CKRM “when out of the river there came up seven cows, fat and sleek, and they grazed among the reeds.” A brother and a sister from Malacca were prayed by the leaders of CKRM Singapore, Petaling Jaya and Malacca for the Lord to bless them and prepare them for the works of the Lord to come. Despite having a camp outside the church sanctuary, the Lord blessed the meeting with awesome works of the Holy Spirit and confirmation of a new and fruitful season for CKRM in 2011.

第七届约书亚营-编缉部报道

神要求祂的儿女要圣洁因祂是圣洁的。若要行走在基督的大能里,我们一定要拥有一个纯洁的基督徒生命。当神国度的信息被分享时,必要在其中彰显出神的大能来。神迹、奇事和异能必追随,为的是要见证神的国度。身为神的儿女,我们是带着超自然神的基因。主耶稣在世活出了完全顺服天父的生命,因此祂保有了神的纯洁和完全的基因。

此刻,神正在呼吁祂的教会进入被洁净和从一切拦阻我们进入神的命定的捆绑中得着释放,好让我们能成为无瑕疵的新妇等候基督的再来。内在医治和释放是相辅相成缺一不可的。它会带来身、心、灵的自由、完全、和基督肢体里的成熟。由Gloria和Mary姐妹所带领的内在医治和释放的服事,首先开始讲解身为基督徒的我们如何因罪、祖宗遗传下来的咒诅、拜偶像或涉足邪教、异端、邪术、伤痛、愤怒和内疚等得罪了上帝而掉入捆绑中。接着,Gloria姐妹更深入的教导我们如何与圣灵同工的实际步骤,好叫我们能从捆锁中得着释放。

许多弟兄姐妹在这次的内在医治和释放的服事中都经历了很大的突破。Georgina姐妹在异像中看到一位男士提着行李箱走向一条笔直的道路,他一边走,行李(重担)就不断的从行李箱内掉出来。当她走到那路的终点时,她看到很多重担像气球般向高空升起。很多弟兄姐妹的魂也得着医治和从获自由。Jessie 姐妹也从惧怕未来的辖制中被释放出来。她现在已把神放在她生命的首位。Jeannie姐妹见证说,她从内疚感中被释放出来。她说当她越倾向圣灵和顺服祂的带领就越得着洁净。在释放的过程中,Jeannie姐妹曾一度感到有成千上万蚂蚁在她手上乱爬,当她的手不断上下摇动时,许多不属神的灵都被甩掉了。一位来自吉隆坡的牧者也感觉到邪灵从他的喉咙被驱赶出去的经历。接着下来,营会的第二天下午是Thomas弟兄带领的身体与疾病的医治服事。许多人都立即得着身体上的医治。

营会的最后一天,拥有四十年经验的O.K.Tian牧师和我们分享了路加福音5:36-39。他向我们解释有关喝了新酒后的感觉和反应。新酒的反应与功效会比旧的来得快且强。Tian牧师相信主在未来的日子要把更多的新酒赐下。身为基督徒的我们因该准备好喝更多的新酒,要更渴慕并竭尽所能的去得着神所倾倒下来的新酒。身为一位资深的牧师,Tian牧师认为CKRM 弟兄姐妹是有足够的能力去领受一切神所要倾倒下来的新酒。Tian牧师也答应了保罗牧师在圣灵感动下邀请他成为CKRM顾问的请求。

神在这一届的营会里兴起了五位弟兄姐妹。以祂的大能恩膏来预备他们在祂所定的日子里进入祂的事工服事。主持续不断的试练祂所呼召、拣选和忠心的孩子来扩展祂的国度。一位弟兄和一位姐妹也在这次的营会里受洗。神也赐给这位弟兄一个新的名字叫约瑟,意思是“神会加增”。神更把创世纪41:18赐给CKRM “有七只母牛从河里上来,又肥壮又美好,在芦荻中吃草”。新加坡、八打灵再也和马六甲的领袖们也为一对来自马六甲的夫妇献上祝福和求神继续装备他们的祷告。

感谢神的信实。圣灵的大能不但彰显在整个营会中,神更印证了2011是CKRM一个新且丰盛的开始。


Blessed beyond measure at CKRM Singapore - Sis Jenny Low

Upon invitation from Pastor Paul and Pastor Esther, we drove from Melaka with my husband to attend the Saturday meeting and the Sunday Church service at CKRM Singapore from 23rd to 24th April 2011.

I accepted Jesus as my Saviour through the Catholic Faith in 1985 and was faithful to our Lord by attending regular Church services, partaking in Holy Communion, performing confession and reading scriptures. However, this is the first time I physically feel the awesome encounter with our Lord Jesus through the Holy Spirit at CKRM Singapore.

Thank you, Lord for bringing me and my husband to CKRM Singapore. On the 1st day upon entering CKRM premise, I could feel the joy, peace and love being showered upon me.

When Pastor Paul was conducting the sermon, I could already feel the Holy Spirit began to work in me, causing me to tremble (Daniel 10:10) and when Pastor Esther prayed for me, the trembling became more profound and I was slained (fell to the floor under the Power of God). Instantly, all my physical ‘arthritic’ pains in my joints, particularly the knee caps and hip bones, were all gone. Praise God for His healing! I was spiritually and physically healed of the constant pains which were troubling me for the past 10 years.

On 24th April 2011 (Sunday), I was able to walk rapidly without any symptom of pains unlike before. It was such a relief and joy when I entered CKRM Singapore again at 11 am to attend the Sunday service.

When our brothers and sisters at CKRM Singapore prayed for the activation of the Anointing of Roar of the Lion of Judah (Amos 1:2, 3:8, Revelation 10:3) which is a very powerful deliverance weapon, I roared very fiercely for the first time.

When the group was discussing the resumption of CKRM Melaka, the Lord gave me a vision and prompted me to say that CKRM Melaka should be resumed as soon as my husband overcomes some of the major administrative issues pending in Legenda Condo Melaka.

The Lord also activated my speaking in tongues and I also received the Joy of Laughter. The Lord is so gracious to bless me with some many Spiritual gifts within such a short period.

I thank our Lord for the great blessings and I pray that our Lord will continue to bless Pastor Paul and Pastor Esther to lead CKRM to greater heights and towards the fulfilment of His Kingdom.

May our Lord bless everyone at CKRM!

神超越我所求所想的在新加坡CKRM祝福我 – Jenny Low 姐妹的见证
(Translated by Sis Mary Tan)

回应保罗牧师和以斯帖牧师的邀请,我和先生驾车从马六甲前往新加坡CKRM参加了他们二零一一年四月二十三和二十四的聚会。

我从一九八五年在天主教的信仰中接受了主耶稣基督成为我的救主后,都忠心的的参加崇拜、领圣餐、认罪和读经。但在新加坡CKRM是我有生以来第一次亲身体验到神大能透过圣灵触摸我的生命。

感谢神带领我和先生到新加坡CKRM去。当我第一天踏入新加坡CKRM的圣所时,便被神的喜乐、平安和爱给大大的充满。

当保罗牧师正在讲台分享时,我已能感觉到圣灵在我身上开始祂的工作,我开始不停的颤斗(但10:10)。当以斯帖牧师为我祷告时,我颤斗得更厉害而最终被圣灵击倒在地上。就在那一刻,我身上的关节炎、尤其是膝盖和髋骨等部位的疼痛都不翼而飞。赞美主的医治!神不但医治了我这十多年来身体的疼痛,也使我得着灵里的释放!

四月二十四日(星期天),我能在毫无疼痛的情况下不断的来回行走。当我再次踏入新加坡CKRM参加他们十一点的崇拜聚会时,我心里感到非常的轻松和喜乐。

当弟兄姐妹为我们祷告启动犹大狮子的恩赐(阿摩司书1:2, 3:8;启10:3)时,我感到有一股力量从腹部涌出,我竟始无前列地极其凶猛的吼叫着。犹大狮子吼叫是非常强而有力的医治释放属灵武器。

当大家在寻求神有关从新开始马六甲的聚会时,神赐给我一个异象说当我的先生办妥马六甲Legenda公寓行政上的事项后便能从新开始聚会了。

神也启动了我说方言的恩赐和赐下喜乐的灵充满我。神也在这短短的时间内赐下了许多属灵的恩赐给我。

我感谢主赐下莫大的恩福。我祷告我们的主将不断的祝福保罗和以斯帖牧师继续带领CKRM迈向更高的领域完成神国度的使命。

愿神赐福于CKRM的每一位弟兄姐妹。


God heals and empowers me at CKRM's 6th Joshua Camp - June Clarine / 神在CKRM第六届约书亚营医治和装备我- June Clarine姐妹

Before I attended the 6th Joshua Camp, I didn’t know about CKRM. None of my friends or my church members knew about it. It is indeed God’s guidance who led me to CKRM.

I remembered in the mid of last year, when one of the pastors from my main church in Subang came to preach at my church, God spoke to me that I could share the Gospel with signs and wonders. Thereafter, I sought God on this area. In September, when I goggled on fasting & power in the internet, I was led to the CKRM website. I saw the 6th Joshua Camp was to be held in Melaka. I was disappointed, knowing that it was not likely for me to travel to Melaka to attend the camp and left my kids with my unbelieving spouse. I prayed and asked God to make it possible for me to attend if it was His will for me to join the camp. In October, God prompted me to check on CKRM website again. This time, I saw that the venue had changed to Petaling Jaya. Praise God! My prayer was answered. I knew that God would do His work in this camp.

However, I was troubled by my irritating headache for over a month before the camp. The headache first appeared in April last year for two weeks and it was gone after prayers. It returned in October and continued till I attended the camp. The headache was on left side of my head. The headache was intense pain for few minutes like something pinched some of my nerves. When it came, it attacked continuously with 1-2 minutes intervals and lasted for few hours. On most days it was there throughout the day. I was greatly disturbed by this.

On the same week before Joshua Camp, I went to one of the leading hospitals for a full medical check-up. I requested to perform a brain MRI. However, my request was denied. I was advised to consult the neurologist first before I was allowed to have a MRI scan. It happened that the neurologist I referred to had a full appointment that day. I was asked to return next Monday for consultation. I used to feel numbness on my left arm, pain on my lower back and left leg. My body was so weak and in an incredible bad shaped. On top of this, my husband and my two kids were down with sickness that week. Many times, there was a voice in me which asked me to just rest and not go for the camp. However, I knew that there would be many hindrances to stop me when I tried to do the will of God. I insisted to go to the camp for at least one day.

After the first session, I almost gave up and did not want to return for the remaining sessions. However, God is faithful. He gave me the message of how Elisha persevered until he got the blessing. I was determined to complete all the remaining sessions. That night, I received the Holy Laughter, the Roar of Lion of Judah and the Evangelistic Anointing.

On second day of the camp, after a deliverance prayer, I experienced a strong Holy Spirit anointing I never experience before. It was like an electric shook. It lasted for a few minutes. I literary heard a ‘zzzzhhhh’ sound. In the first electric shook, I felt that there was a power which rested on my face and there was a circular movement around my mouth, later it moved and lingered on my hands before it rested on my legs. The second and third time, the electric shook experience was a smooth pouring of Holy Spirit from my head to toes. I also received the Confirmation Anointing and Holy Wine on second day. The anointing was so strong that night that my body still shook and moved when I lied on my bed. It continued for hours before I slept.

On the last day of the camp, I danced in the spirit. I was amazed that I could jump and danced for almost two hours. With my body pains that I experienced before, it should not be possible to dance for even a few minutes. I felt somebody had guided my hands and body movements as I did not know how to dance at all. When I looked at how I danced, the dance movements were as if from a skilful dancer. I felt that I was drunk in the Spirit during the morning worship.

One day after Joshua camp, I return to the hospital to get my medical report. The report showed there was a 3.8cm cyst at my right ovary. No wonder I felt pain in my abdomen when I used my right leg to push heavy pail. I didn’t go for the neurologist appointment because I trusted God had healed and delivered me from my headache. After the camp, I did not feel the headache anymore, my pain on my lower back and left leg were all gone. A week after I got another medical report, I did a second ultrasound on my abdomen. The doctor could not locate the cyst on my right ovary and I was amazed that it was gone in barely one week. God had healed me. Glory to the LORD!

My spiritual man is more sensitive and alert now after I attended the camp. And many times, during worship, I would be led by the Holy Spirit to dance in the spirit. Praise God for leading me to CKRM to experience the power of God and received miraculous healing within a short period of time. Praise you Jesus, the Lord, God Almighty!

神在CKRM第六届约书亚营医治和装备我- June Clarine姐妹

在我还没有参加第六届约书亚营之前,我并不认识CKRM的事工。我的朋友和教会都未听闻过CKRM。因此能来到CKRM的确是神的带领。

我记得在去年的年中,当一位来自我们苏邦总会的牧师来分享话语时,神对我说我能以神迹奇事来分享福音。此后,我朝这方面寻求神。在九月份,当我在网上查询有关禁食和能力的资料时发现到CKRM的网站。当我看到第六届约书亚营将在马六甲举行时,我感到失望。因为我不可能把孩子们交托给还没信主的丈夫,独自一人到马六甲去参加营会。我便向神祷告说若是祂的旨意要我参加这营会就为我开路。就在十月份,神启示我再去查询CKRM的网站。这次竟让我看到营会的地点已改换到八打灵再也。感谢主!神垂听了我的祷告!我知道神在这营会里在我身上会有奇妙的作为。

在去年的四月我的头疼了两个星期,但在祷告后便消失了。在还没去营会前的一个月,就是大约在十月份,我左边的头就开始疼痛不止。那剧烈的疼痛会持续好几分钟,就如我的神经线被捏那样。当这头疼来袭时,每隔一两分钟便再不断的重复,有时长达几小时。但大多数时间,这头疼是持续一整天的。我确实被这事给困扰着。

在约书亚营的同一个星期,我到一间著名的医院做身体的医药检查。我要求院方为我做脑部扫描但被拒绝了。他们要我先去看神经科专家。因着那神经科专家的预约时间都排满了,他们便安排我在下个星期一回去做检查。我的左手臂曾经常感到麻痹,腰和左脚也疼痛。我的体质不但非常的弱,而且身体健康也不理想。除此以外,我的先生和两个孩子在那个星期也病倒了。在那段时间,我经常听到有声音叫我好好的在家休息,不要到营会去。我深知当我要行在神的旨意中时,一定会受到很多拦阻。所以,我决定至少也要参加一天的营会。

参加了第一堂的聚会后,我几乎想放弃,但神是信实的。祂给我听到以利沙如何坚持到底直到他得到祝福才肯罢休。这驱使了我下定决心继续留下。当天晚上,我领受了“圣灵的嬉笑”,犹大狮子的吼叫和传福音的恩膏。

营会的第二天,在医治释放的祷告后,我经历了前所未有的圣灵大能恩膏的浇灌。那感觉就像是被电流冲击。我清楚地听见“吱。。。”的声音。在第一次的电流冲击中,我感到有一股力量降在我的脸上和在嘴里旋转,接着那股力量流向我的手后再停留在我的双脚。接下来两次经历的是圣灵温柔的从头到脚的浇灌充满我。在第二天的约书亚营会中,我领受了灵里印证的恩膏和天上的美酒。当晚,那停留在我身上的恩膏非常的强烈。我全身不停地颤抖了几个小时后才入睡。

在营会的最后一天,我在灵里起舞。以我原本身体疼痛的状况,能跳足将近两小时的舞,我自己也感到不可思议。当时,我感受到似乎有人牵引着我的手和身体,因我根本都不会跳舞。当我观看回我跳舞的情景,真像一个老练的舞者。当天早上的敬拜,我就像是在灵里醉了一般。

在约书亚营结束后的第二天,我回到医院去看我的医药报告。医药报告显示在我右边的卵巢长了一个3.5公分的瘤。难怪每当我用右脚推水桶时,腹部会感到疼痛。我并没去看神经科专家因为我相信神已医治了我的头疼。营会过后,我的头、腰和左脚的疼痛都不翼而飞了!一星期后,我拿到第二份卵巢的超声波扫描报告。医生和我都感到惊讶,那瘤竟在一星期里消失得无影无踪。神医治了我!荣耀归于主!

参加了营会后,我发现我的灵人比以往更敏锐和警醒。好多时候,在敬拜中我都会被圣灵带领跳起灵舞来。赞美主!神不但把我带到CKRM来经历祂的大能,还在短期内得着奇妙的医治。赞美你耶稣,我的主,全能神!

My Awesome Supernatural Encounter with God at CKRM PJ – Juliana Moorthy

Hi Brother Thomas, Greetings in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. This is my testimony:

My name is Juliana Moorthy. I was born and raised as a Catholic in a small town called Gemas. Last year I went through life changing moments when my mum fell sick and it turned out she was not sick but was charmed and the evil spirit inside of her wanted to fool us by making us thought that my mum was sick. The doctors could not determine my mum’s condition after series of tests. My uncle from Singapore came and prayed over my mum and found it was the work of the evil spirit when my mum manifested like a snake and spoke in different language. Since our priest was away, we asked help from another priest but it was declined.

My uncle’s wife made an appointment with an exorcist in KL. The exorcist cast out a snake spirit from my mum. Later my mum was fine for few days and it relapsed. This time her condition became even worse. She was depressed and had suicidal thoughts. Even her face became like the image of another person. She would be singing church hymns but also contradicting with crying at the same time. Many times we went to KL to meet the exorcist. He cast the spirit but each time the sickness relapsed with greater torments.

We even went to seek help from two different pastors but it was futile. Then one day my uncle was given word of knowledge from the Holy Spirit. It was 'SWORD OF THE SPIRIT'. My uncle did not understand so he browsed the internet and CKRM website appeared. He contacted CKRM. After making an appointment we went to CKRM PJ and received warm welcome from its members. They were singing praise and worship songs and I could feel the spirit of God in them. Pastor Paul Ang preached about the demonstration of God's power.

What I experience next was mind blowing. Never in my life have I had experience anything like this before. There was a brother, named John Kher gifted with seer anointing. He saw a monkey spirit inside of my mum's body. Brother John Chia was roaring with the gift of the Lion of Judah. Brother Thomas Ong ministered with the Sword of the Spirit. All these gifts are actually warfare weapons used to fight against the evil spirits. Pastor Paul and Pastor Esther cast out the evil spirit from my mother. Brother John Chia roared like the Lion of Judah while Brother Thomas Ong used the Sword of the Spirit on my mother. What used to be hours of doing deliverance was done within a short time in CKRM.

After my mum was healed, my cousin and I were attacked by the evil spirit. We went to CKRM again and Pastor Paul Ang said that when we received impartation, we would have spiritual attack. During deliverance process my two cousins and I vomited.

After few visits to CKRM, my mother was completely healed. Another fascinating thing that started to happen to all of us after attending CKRM was we started to have supernatural encounters. I started to have glory dust (silver dust) appear on my palms and dress when I worship God. Flashes of lightning appeared inside my office. It was not a cloudy day and there were no windows in my office. At first I didn't know what it was but it happened many times at my house too where a big lightning flashes in my living room. I experience flashes of lights several times a day. Brother Thomas explained to me that it was God's lightning. Then another encounter was when I was walking to work, I saw an unusual beautiful rainbow formed in the clear sky.

On one meeting at CKRM and my cousin, aunty, uncle, my mum and I were given “Heavenly Wine” by Pastor Paul Ang. We could not see the wine but we received it through faith. I actually felt something like wind of current flowing into my mouth. This could not be explained but could be experienced when we believed.

Even now Pastor Paul Ang and Brother Thomas still enquire about my mum’s condition. They are filled with God's love in their hearts. CKRM has truly changed my life. Christ has enthroned Himself totally in my entire being. This whole journey of searching for the living God has finally ended when God led us to a warfare church that operates majestically with awesome demonstration of God's power and it also enables us to have a supernatural encounter with Him... I am a child of the supernatural GOD in whom we can have a supernatural experience in which CKRM is all about. Christ Kingdom will reign majestically in the lives of all those who experienced God like never before because this will enhance you to a different spiritual level- The Supernatural Realm.

God healed and set me free from demonic possession at CKRM PJ - Mariam Nathan / 神透过CKRM (八打灵再也)的事工把我从邪灵的捆绑中释放出来并医治我 - Mariam Nathan 姐妹的见证

Last year was a big turning point in my life. I was born and raised as a Catholic. I live in a small town between the border of Johor and Negeri Sembilan. Last year after Easter, I began to fall sick. I lost appetite to eat; I kept vomiting and started to have terrible pain in both of my legs. My legs was swollen and I was experiencing sudden shivering and high fever on and off at certain times of the day and daily. I had been to many clinics and even admitted in the hospital for one week but none of the doctors could find anything wrong with me and they were baffled as I kept losing a lot of blood though there was no internal bleeding. They did all kinds of tests on me from suspicion of dengue, malaria, tuberculosis to internal bleeding but the tests always turned out that nothing was wrong with me.

Then my daughter told one of my brothers about my condition as she suspected that I was not sick but being possessed. When he came and prayed over me. At the hospital, he too saw something was wrong with me. A week later I was discharged but my condition was still the same. My brother came again that week from Singapore to visit me and this time when he prayed over me, I began to manifest like a snake hissing and spoke in different languages.

Then it was confirmed that I was not sick but it was the work of an evil spirit. My brother asked us to contact our priest and at that time our priest was away on studies to another country. We called another priest for help but no one wanted to help. Then through my brother's wife in KL, we managed to get an exorcist to help us. I went there with my husband, daughter and sister along with my brother and his family and the catholic exorcist prayed over me and said that I was charmed.

He cast out the evil spirit and I went back to my hometown. At first I was okay but then I was back to how I was before. I was sick again. Then there was this strange ugly shapeless light that kept appearing at all sides in front of my eyes and at the side of my eyes. I was like a mad woman being tormented by these lights and fear.

Many times we went back to KL to the exorcist and many times he cast out the evil spirits and it left me and then it came back bringing more than one spirit to live inside my body. My condition was worse than before. I was helpless and suicidal thoughts started to emerge from nowhere. I was singing and crying without any reason and was tormented day and night. We also went to see my brother's pastor to help me but he couldn’t do anything to help me.

My daughter and brother were at dead end trying to get someone to help me.

Then one day as my brother was searching in the internet when a word came to him- SWORD OF THE SPIRIT. He didn’t know what that means, so he typed that word in web search and CKRM website appeared. He began to search into the site and found out that this is a warfare church that deals with exactly what I was in need of help. So my brother called one of the members of this church, Brother Chia and made an appointment the following week with them, after describing to Brother Chia about my condition and his reply was "sure bring your sister". So all of us prayed and went to CKRM PJ. When we went there the service just started with praise and worship songs. We received warm welcome from them and what happened next was an eye opening.

CKRM is a place where demonstration of God's power took place. I felt something new. They have people from all walks of life with anointing I have never heard of. They have a member, Brother John Kher blessed with seer anointing who saw a monkey spirit inside of me. Brother Thomas Ong had the anointing of the sword of the spirit, Brother Chia anointed with roaring of the Lion of Judah. Pastor Paul Ang and Pastor Esther along with Brother John Kher, Brother Thomas and Brother Chia cast out the monkey spirit that had been tormenting me with the demonstration of power of God in this church. They cast the evil spirit quickly unlike the previous places where I had been through where it took a few hours to cast the spirits out.

In my life as a 55 year old woman I have never experienced this kind of spirit filled church where God's presence is felt strongly and it open my heart and eyes to walk a spiritual journey which I have never experience before. After going there few times I am completely healed and I am healthy and alive because of how God's power moved in this warfare church known as CKRM (CHRIST KINGDOM REIGNS MAJESTICALLY). How true the acronym speaks for itself.

In my life this is one of my most powerful moments I went through. It opened my eyes to spiritual realm I never knew it existed and how God’s power really moved in His people. CKRM is definitely in my heart as I felt God's intense move there. Looking forward to my next visit there with my family and will surely bring my other family members also to experience God in ways Christians must experience on their own as words cannot fully describe what CKRM is all about.

神透过CKRM (八打灵再也)的事工把我从邪灵的捆绑中释放出来并医治我 - Mariam Nathan 姐妹的见证
(Translated to Mandarin by Sis Mary)

去年是我生命中面临最大冲击的一年。我出生于一个天主教的家庭,居住在柔佛与森美兰州边界的一个小镇上。去年的复活节我开始病倒。不但没胃口吃东西,还不断的呕吐。更糟糕的是我的双脚开始疼痛和肿胀。除此之外,差不多每一天我还会被那突如其来的寒意和发高烧袭击得身体直发抖。我不断的四处寻医甚至到医院留医检查。医生对我不断失血却没有内出血的迹象感到束手无策。他们在我身上做了很多测试,从骨痛溢血热症、疟疾、肺结核等等,都无法找出任何病因。

我的女儿后来把我的情形告诉我的弟弟,因她怀疑我是中了邪。当他来到医院为我祷告时,也发现到我很不对劲。我在一个星期后出院,但情况还是没有好转。在同一个星期,我弟弟从新加坡来探望我,在他为我祷告时,那邪灵在我身上形如蛇般的彰显,从我口中也说出了听不懂的语言。

经过了这件事,我们更肯定了我其实不是生病而是被邪灵压制。弟弟提议我通知我的神父但神父却出了国。我们也向另一位神父求助但被他拒绝了。之后,透过我在吉隆坡的弟妇,我们找到了一位躯魔师。我便和先生、女儿、还有家人启程到那天主教躯魔师那里。他为我祷告后便告知我是被下了咒受捆绑。

他为我驱逐了那邪灵后我便回返家乡。好景不长,过了不久我的身体又恢复回以往的情况,再次病倒。接着在我视觉的范围出现了一些恶心的无形光线不断跟随着我。我被这些可怕的光折磨得几乎发疯。

我来回吉隆坡无数次,每一次那天主教躯魔师为我驱逐了邪灵后,它会短时间的离开我。但之后却带领更多的灵进入我体内,我的情况比先前更糟。我当时真的感到很绝望而无形中自杀的念头开始浮现脑海。我每天从早到晚被这些邪灵折磨得又唱又哭。我们也向我弟弟的牧师寻求帮助但都无可救药。我的女儿和弟弟也都束手无策,求救无门。

有一天,当我的弟弟在网上游览时,忽然得到一句知识的言语:“圣灵的宝剑”。他虽不晓得是什么,还是把这句话输入网站搜索。就这样点击了CKRM的网站。当他阅读了网上的见证和资料后,发现到这是个征战的教会,也是我所需要的。因此他致电这教会的一位谢弟兄预约来临的星期带我到那里。谢弟兄在听完我弟弟描述我的情况后的答复是:“没问题,带你姐姐来!”我们祷告后便在约定的那天前往CKRM (八打灵再也)。我们到达时正是敬拜赞美的时刻,我们受到热烈的欢迎。但接着下来发生的事真是令我们大开眼界。

CKRM是一个示范神大能彰显的地方。我感到很新奇。那里的人身上所带有的恩膏是我未曾听闻的。神赐给John Kher弟兄一对属灵的眼睛,他看到我身上有“猴子的灵”捆绑着我。Thomas Ong 弟兄有圣灵宝剑的恩膏。还有神赐给谢弟兄“犹大狮子吼叫”的恩膏。保罗牧师、以斯帖牧师和他们三位以神的大能武器和恩膏为我赶出了身上那长期折磨我的邪灵。整个释放的过程很短,不像以往,要经过几小时的时间才能赶出那些邪灵。

在我五十五年的人生旅程中,我从未经历和见识过这么一间圣灵充满的教会。在这里能感受到神的同在非常强烈。神也在这里开启我属灵的心眼让我能开始行走在属灵的领域里,这是我从没经历过的。经过数次的拜访后,神以大能透过这征战的教会完全医治了我!我现在是又健康又充满活力。CKRM (基督国度崇高掌权)真是名符其实,神掌权的教会!

这是我一生中最了不起和丰盛的时刻。神开启了我属灵的眼能看到属灵的领域,我从不知道它实际上是存在的。也让我见识到神大能如何推动祂的子民。CKRM深深地吸引我的心,因那里有神大能的同在。我期待着下一次与家人再次的造访CKRM。我必会带领其他的家人一起去经历神,让他们也能亲身经历身为一个基督徒所该经历的。因为单靠言语真的无法全面的形容CKRM的事工。


Faith in God’s ability to lead than the devil’s capability to mislead – Ps Mark Tay / 对神大能带领的信心胜于撒旦误导的计谋-郑马可牧师

Patricia King shared how in the past, as a minister of God, she voiced her concern to God about the Faith movement propagated by Kenneth Copeland and how it was introducing deception into the body of Christ. As she was praying, the Lord told her that Kenneth Copeland was “his man”. Stunned and puzzled, Patricia King stopped praying and pondered over what the Lord has revealed to her. Much of what she knew about his ministry has been circulated via word of mouth but she has never personally heard him preach before.

Very often, gossips and rumors have discredited and slandered ministers and ministries and caused much distrust and disunity in the body of Christ. And those who spread them usually did so out of goodwill and fear that “the body of Christ would be deceived”. As believers, we should however refrain from passing judgment based on word of mouth (gossips and rumors) and learn from Jesus who judge not by what he sees with his eyes, or decide by what he hears with his ears (Isaiah 11:3). In the end, Patricia King wisely took the time and effort to attend Kenneth Copeland’s meeting and found his teachings to be biblical and a great blessing to her.

But the Lord was not done renewing her mindset. Subsequently, she experienced what is now commonly known as “Holy Laughter” during a meeting. However, even with this new experience that she had, she was still overwhelmed by what she saw during the Toronto Blessing outbreak. People were flapping their hands like roosters, barking like dogs or roaring like lions. “This can’t be right” Patricia King thought to herself. Once again, she petitioned to God about the body of Christ being deceived by the devil. She reckoned that church service is supposed to be orderly, not chaotic. Surely God would not have His children barking like dogs or roaring like lions. Then to her surprise, the Lord repeatedly prompted her with this question “Have you ask me?” Though shocked by the Lord’s questioning, she was still unconvinced.

All her protest and debating with God over the manifestations in Toronto came to an end when she herself experienced the presence and power of God before dropping to the floor at the pulpit. She never got to preach a word. Subsequently she had her first “roaring” experience. Patricia King had come close to dismissing the move of God in Toronto as the work of the devil because she had leaned on her own understanding and failed to “ask God”. Being presumptuous, she dismissed “roaring and barking” as manifestations of the Holy Spirit. While she felt that the body of Christ had been deceived on both occasions, God has graciously shown her that it wasn’t so.

Like Patricia King, many believers have been quick to dismiss “unconventional” manifestations or teachings as works of the devil. The heart of the discerning however, acquires knowledge and the ears of the wise seek out a matter (Proverbs 18:15). If we are to call ourselves wise and discerning, we will take the time and effort to acquire and seek the truth in His Word and Spirit especially when dealing with the “new and unconventional” things of God. Unless we enquire the Holy Spirit, we will not be able to accept the things that come from the Spirit of God but consider them foolishness which was what happen to Patricia King when she first encountered the new things that God was imparting through Kenneth Copeland and in Toronto. The Apostle Paul even went as far as to claim that we cannot understand them because they are discerned ONLY through the Spirit (1 Cor 2:14). Any attempt to understand anything apart from God easily leads us into error.

Patricia King however, cautioned believers to back up every divine encounter and experience with scriptures. For the roaring experience she had, she found out that “The LORD roars from Zion” (Amos 1:2 & Joel 3:16). She also found a scripture that says “Israel’s watchmen are blind, they all lack knowledge; they are all mute dogs, they cannot bark .. (Isaiah 56:10). The watchmen were supposed to bark. When asked about what she felt about Todd Bentley, Patricia King referred the saints to Jeremiah 3:8 whereby God gave faithless Israel her certificate of divorce and sent her away because of all her adulteries. From this scripture, she explained that God divorce Himself from Israel and surely God can commit no sin. As such believers should not readily view divorce as a sin but learn to look at each one on a case by case basis. She however made it clear that while she didn’t see every divorce as a sin, the bible’s stand on adultery is clear.

In conclusion, our “righteousness” isn’t always God’s standard of righteousness (read Matthew 5:20-47). We should not confuse the prejudices of our society and culture as God’s prejudices. Not every believer who divorce is a sinner although church and culture tends to see them as one. As with every new move of God, many “new and unconventional” revelations and manifestations will be pour out. When that happens, believers should not be quick to judge or dismiss anything as the work of the devil unless we have personally checked with the Spirit and Scriptures. No longer will we pass judgment on ministers and ministries based on word of mouth but let us instead, be believers who have more faith in God’s ability in leading us into all truth than the devil’s capability in deceiving us.

Ps Mark Tay

P.S: Many thanks to Sis Patricia King for her wonderful sharing and teaching and her continual appeal to believers to be humble before God ...

对神大能带领的信心胜于撒旦误导的计谋-郑马可牧师
(Translated to Mandarin by Sis Mary Tan)

帕特丽莎 . 金(Patricia King)在新加坡神荣耀领域的课程中分享她早年的见证。身为神的仆人,她向神申诉Kenneth Copeland 所宣传的信心运行将给基督肢体带来欺骗与误导的讯息。就当她在祷告中向神申诉时,神对她说:“Kenneth Copeland 是我的仆人”。神的启示使帕特丽莎非常的惊讶和疑惑。其实她那时并没亲身听过Kenneth Copeland 的分享,而是从流言中听到许多关于Kenneth 的负面报道。

很多时候,八卦的闲言闲语、谣言不但使到神的仆人和事工受到诋毁和诬蔑,更是在教会肢体中引起许多的猜疑和分裂。而那些谣传的人多是出于好意,担心“基督肢体会被误导”。身为基督徒的我们,要谨慎我们的言语,不要道听途说妄下定论。反之要向我们的主学习如何行审判不凭眼见,断是非也不凭耳闻 (以赛亚书11:3)。最后,帕特丽莎 . 金抽空去到Kenneth Copeland 的聚会听道后发现他所教导的不但符合圣经的教义,而且让她获益不浅。

此后,神并没有停止在她的思想上做更新的工作。接着她在一个聚会中经历了所谓的“灵里的喜笑”。虽然有了这次的经历,在“多伦多祝福”盛会中圣灵的大彰显,看到人们向公鸡一样的拍着翅膀、像狗一样的在吠和狮子般的吼叫,帕特丽莎 . 金还是无法接受的认为“这绝对不正常!”同样的,她再次的来到神面前向神投诉,她认为,这些都是撒旦作为在欺骗神的肢体。教会的聚会应该是很有次序而不是这样乱七八糟的。还有,神决不会让祂的儿女像狗一样的吠和狮子般的吼叫。很奇妙的,神却不断地问她:“你是否求问过我呢?”她所觉得惊讶,但还是无法接受。

所有对“多伦多祝福” 盛会中圣灵彰显的抗议和辩论在她自己在讲台上被神同在的大能击倒在地上的经历终告结束。当时她根本没机会开始分享就被圣灵充满倒地。此后,她也亲身经历了“犹大狮子的吼叫”。帕特丽莎 . 金因依靠自己的聪明而否定了“多伦多祝福”是神的作为。更断定“吼叫和吠”绝不可能出自圣灵。但当她觉得神的子民在这两件事上被恶者欺骗的同时,神却以无限的慈爱纠正她。

就像帕特丽莎 . 金 一样,很多信徒在看到非传统的彰显和教导就急着下定论那是从魔鬼而来的。聪明人的心得知识;智慧人的耳求知识(箴 言 18:15)。若我们说自己有聪明和智慧,在聚会看到新和非传统的彰显时,我们就会花时间从神的灵和话语中寻求真相。除非我们请教圣灵,不然我们将无法接受从神而来的新事,还可能把它当成愚拙的事。就像帕特丽莎 . 金早期面对神赐给Copeland的恩膏和“多伦多祝福”的彰显时那样。师徒保罗更在歌林多前书2:14 说我们不能明白,因为这些事惟有属灵的人才能看透 。不管想明白或了解什么事, 我们若不寻求和倚靠神就会很容易地做出错误的判断。

帕特丽莎 . 金 提醒信徒,每一个神圣的经历都要有圣经真理的根据。在她所亲身经历的狮子吼叫,圣灵以“耶和华必从锡安吼叫” (阿摩司书1:2;約珥书3:16)来印证祂的作为。神也启示她“他看守的人是瞎眼的,都没有知识,都是哑巴狗,不能叫唤(以賽亞书56:10),神的守望者本应像狗那样的叫唤。当在问及“Todd Bentley”事件时,帕特丽莎 . 金引用了耶利米书3:8, 这里说到神因背道的以色列行淫,所以给她休书休了她 。从这经节,她解释说神与以色列民离婚而如果离婚是罪,那神不是犯罪了吗?因此我们不因该把所有离婚的人都当成有罪,而应该视个别情况而定。她也强调,她虽不认为所有离婚都是罪,但绝对赞同圣经对淫乱罪的看法。

总挂来说,我们的“公义” 准则未必是神“公义”的准则(请读马太福音5:20-47)。我们不应该把社会和文化的成见与神国度的文化混为一谈。虽然教会和社会常常视离婚的信徒为罪人,但神未必是这样看的。神每一次做新事时,都会有很多新的、非传统的启示和彰显涌出来。当这些事发生时,除非我们已得到圣灵的和圣经印证,否则,身为信徒的我们不应该急予论断或把这些事归纳于魔鬼的作为。不要再道听途说,毫无根据的批评论断任何神的仆人和事工。反之,我们该对神能带领我们进入一切真理有着坚定的信心胜于害怕撒旦能误导的计谋!

Manifestation of the Holy Spirit - From the Editor's Desk

When we walk into a church we should be able to experience an intensity of the presence of the Holy Spirit where believers begin to experience spiritual manifestation in laughter, falling over, trembling, prophesying or even received a healing.

The most common in Churches is the manifestation of weeping when the Holy Spirit comes as the Lamb of God to reveal sin with grace and mercy. However, the Holy Spirit could also visit as the Lion of Judah, the warrior with the fire of the Holy Spirit to remove inner hurts, performing physical healing, emotional healing, deliverance or causing a deeper desire and longing to be more intimate with our Lord or even burn away the dross of our lives and the parts of the body that resists God and we become more sensitive to the leading of the Holy Spirit. Read the testimony of a Church Elder to understand his own experience with manifestation through the link below:-

http://pastorpaulang.blogspot.com/2008/11/part-2-all-yor-work-will-praise-you.html

These manifestations happen because there is transference of power. In many occasions power will go out from someone to empower, release, heal or stir up spiritual gifts in others. This is similar to Jesus’ experience when He said “Someone touched me; I know that power has gone out from me.” (Luke 8:48) The God that we worship is a supernatural God. So it is not surprising that whatever He touches our natural world, there is a supernatural reaction. As a church, it is our responsibility to observe, test, discern and verify whether or not these reactions or manifestations are truly from God. Certainly the acid tests are the Scripture, verifiable universal experiences and the fruit finally.

Manifestation of the Spirit is the result of the presence of the Lord. Where miracle, sign & wonder is absence, so is the presence of God. Each miracle destroys the work of the devil and we perform miracles in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ where He is truly glorified.

In Mark 9:38-40 John told Jesus that they saw a man driving out demons in His name and they told him to stop, because he was not one of us. “Do not stop him,” Jesus said. “No one who does a miracle in MY Name can in the next moment say anything bad about me, for whoever is not against us is for us.”

No one could certainly conclude that the Holy Spirit manifest only in the ways known to us, but we should engage an openness to the works of the Holy Spirit and the practice of spiritual gifts. Although we have seen some common manifestations around the world we must come to believe that God had more in store as we are living in end times. God is pouring out His Spirit in great measure to His people. In many occasions, the phenomena such as shaking, falling, laughing, crying, jerking, prophesying, ecstatic utterance as well as many other strange and often misunderstood manifestations is against our will. This strange but wonderful manifestation of the Holy Spirit begins to mold godly Christian lives as a result. It will surely bear fruits when the person surrenders himself totally to the Holy Spirit. When a person encounters a genuine visitation of the Holy Spirit, when measured through time we will see it fulfilled and enjoy the fruit.

Through history, the move of the Holy Spirit has been described as being so dramatic where believers could not handle or understand it. Their main concerns are: “Why all the manifestations and shaking? What is their purpose? Are they biblical? How do you know it’s not from the devil? Many struggle to accept the phenomenal working of the Holy Spirit. Many pastors, elders and believers felt it was not right. When the Holy Spirit fell on the gentiles, the early church also had to wrestle through these types of issues. (Acts 10:44-46)

Peter did not even finish his message when the Holy Spirit fell upon the gentiles with signs and wonders. Peter was greatly criticized for what had happened. We realize not every manifestation has a particular or exact meaning. It is the desire of every church to pray for the Holy Spirit to fill them with more of the Holy Spirit (see Ephesians 5:18). Today multitudes of Christians are questioning the manifestations of the Holy Spirit. We pray for a great visitation but we must cordially accept the great Visitor when He comes! If any clarification is required, they should ask God directly in the form of inquiring prayers rather than accusing Christians who surrender themselves to the Holy Spirit and work with Him. Others believe that manifestations have to be biblical. John Wimber says “God is bigger than His book,” while Jesus said, “You study the Scriptures diligently because you think that in them you have eternal life. These are the very Scriptures that testify about me, yet you refuse to come to me to have life. (John 5:39-40). It is possible to be so focused on the meaning of the Word that we limit who God is and what he can do.

Dee Hoetmer quoted these, “I find that the lost and dying receive the mighty presence of the Lord easier than Christians! Many Christians don't ask Lord is this of you, but put up walls if an anointing doesn't fit into their teachings. THEY DO NOT DISCERN BY THE SPIRIT, but are stuck in their learnedness and in their accepted forms and functioning of their previous religious teaching and experience. The Messiah did not come in the form they expected Him to and it was an affront to them. They persecuted Him despite the mighty signs and wonders, despite the truth He spoke, despite the anointing in His life, and so they missed their hour of visitation. In these last days if we do not discern by the Spirit for even our intellect will lead us astray; being influenced by our deceitful wicked hearts and incorrect religious teachings over many years. We need to become again as little children trusting our Father to lead us into all truth and that He is a giver of good gifts. .


Not Living according to the flesh but by the Holy Spirit - Bro Chia / 不随从肉体,只随从圣灵 - 谢松汉弟兄

I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do. What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body that is subject to death? [ Rom 7:15,24] Being a human like Apostle Paul, I too have experienced what the verses above have described. My flesh is weak and to depend on my flesh to live a holy and victorious life is rather impossible. Many times I have battled against my bad habits and weaknesses and failed in the end. If you have warred against your weaknesses before, you too would echo what Apostle Paul said “What a wretched man I am!

Since the age of fifteen, prior to believing in the Lord, I have started smoking and have been through countless stopping to smoke sessions. I had quitted smoking for a month, a week or an hour but it always end in failure. After receiving Jesus as my Savior, I have also tried numerous smoking cessation sessions. I have also heard a number of testimonies of those who successfully quitted smoking but it didn’t happen to me. On the day before I enter full time ministry at the age of thirty eight, I was still smoking. Since the day I started full time ministry in church, the smoking addiction just mysteriously left me. For more than a year since I started serving in church, I have not smoke a cigarette. Two weeks after I quitted my job in church, I started smoking again. What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body that is subjected to death?

Brothers and sisters, have you ever lied over the past three months? Can’t answer the question? I do not dare to answer this question too because knowing or unknowingly, we have all spoken some lies. Take for an example when somebody asks me “Have you eaten?” If I didn’t feel like eating, I would naturally reply “I have eaten already”. But the truth is I have not eaten yet. In John 8:44, it says “You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies.” How could I not be a wretched man when the devil has become my father?

Rom 8:4 says “in order that the righteous requirement of the law might be fully met in us, who do not live according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.” Apostle Paul gave us the answer in Romans chapter 8: “Do not live according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.” We have the five senses: sight, hearing, smell, taste and touch are all from the flesh. Only by faith can we live according to the Spirit. Below are some of my experiences of living according to the Spirit as a reference. I must however point out that everybody’s experience is different.

In the past, whenever I have to teach the word of God, I would pray fervently in tongues as to be led by the Holy Spirit. After doing so for an hour, the Holy Spirit will tremendously fill me. When teaching the word of God, I would feel His presence and power. After leaving full time ministry, I didn’t serve and didn’t pray in tongues. Since I was no longer filled with the Spirit, I naturally ceased to live by the Spirit and therefore, no longer bore the fruit of the Spirit.

When I was being empowered in CKRM Malacca, Pastor Paul Ang would frequently use spiritual weapons on me. Now I do understand that spiritual weapons help to remove the blockages in me so that I could be easily filled with the Holy Spirit. After attending just a few “Supernatural & Anointing” ministry on Saturday, I could once again overcome my smoking addiction. I dare not boast as I am aware that the moment I stop living in the Spirit, the power to live a victorious life over smoking will also leave me. As long as I immersed myself in the presence of the Holy Spirit, my life will bear the fruit of the Spirit as listed in Gal 5:22-23 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.

Satan is not fearful of the church teaching Christians how to be a good person. As Christians strive to be a better person, sin also pursues more closely behind him. Satan is only afraid that the pastor will teach the Christians how to be filled and be empowered by the Holy Spirit and bear the fruit of the Spirit.

All of CKRM’s gifting, spiritual weapons and ministry is to remove the strongholds in the Christian so that the Holy Spirit can move freely in him or her.

不随从肉体,只随从圣灵 - 谢松汉弟兄

[ 罗 7:15,24 因为我所作的,我自己不明白;我所愿意的,我并不作;我所恨恶的,我倒去作。我真是苦啊!谁能救我脱离这取死的身体呢?] 就和使徒保罗的经历一样,我在这方面也蒙受非常大的考验。我的肉体是软弱的。如果要依靠我的肉体去过圣洁,得胜的生活简直是难上加难。我为生命中的恶习惯和软弱经历了无数次的争战后,总是以失败收场。如你也曾与自己的软弱争战过,你必会和保罗一样的喊说:“ 我真是苦啊!”

我从十五岁就开始吸烟。在还没信主之前,我经历了无数次的戒烟行动。有从一个月,一个星期,甚至是一小时,但都是以失败收场。三十岁接受耶稣成为救主后,也试过好多次的戒烟行动。在教会也听了不少戒烟成功的见证,但神迹就是没发生在我身上。在我三十八岁进入全职服事的前一天,我还在吸烟。也不知道为什么,在我踏进教会服事的第一天,烟瘾竟然离开了我!在教会事奉的一年多内,连一支烟也没吸过。但、当我辞职离开教会的工作后,在短短的两星期里我又固态复明抽回烟了。“我真是苦啊!谁能救我脱离这取死的身体呢?”

弟兄姐妹,请问在过去的三个月内,你有说过谎言吗?答不出来吗?我也不敢答这问题。因为我们时常有意无意,都说了一些谎言。就如有人问我:“吃饱了吗?”我不想吃就很自然的说:“吃过了。”真相是我还没吃。 请别忘了 [约8:44 你们是出于你们的父魔鬼,你们父的私欲,你们偏要行。他从起初是杀人的,不守真理,因他心里没有真理,他说谎是出于自己,因他本来是说谎的,也是说谎之人的父。] 我怎能不苦呢?魔鬼成了我的父。

罗 8:4 说“使律法的义成就在我们这不随从肉体,只随从圣灵的人身上。” 保罗在罗马书第八章就把答案给了我们,[不随从肉体,只随从圣灵]。我们的肉体有五官,视觉,听觉,嗅觉,味觉,触觉,都是属肉体的。只有凭着信心才能进入跟随圣灵。以下是我学习随从圣灵的一些经历,只能当着参考,因为每个人的经历可能都不一样。

以前我要去教导神的话语时,为了随从圣灵,我会不断地在灵里用方言祷告。祷告了大约一个多小时后,圣灵就很大的充满我。在教导神的话语时,我会感到神大有能力的同在。当我离开教会的全职工作,就少了服事,也较少说方言。少了圣灵的充满,当然就活不出跟随圣灵了生命,圣灵的果子也长不出来了。

当我去到马六甲 CKRM 受训, 洪保罗牧师时常把属灵的武器用在我身上。现在我才明白属灵的武器是为了除去我灵里的阻拦,使我更容易被圣灵充满。在我去了几次星期六的恩膏事工后,我又能战胜我的烟瘾。当然我也不敢夸口,我知道当我不再随从圣灵时,能力也会离开我。只要我浸泡在圣灵的同在中,我的生命必会长出圣灵的果子。加 5:22-23 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。这样的事,没有律法禁止。

撒旦绝不怕教会教导基督徒如何做好人。当基督徒越做好人,罪就越追着基督徒。撒旦最怕牧师们教导基督徒如何被圣灵充满,得着圣灵的能力,结出圣灵的果子。

CKRM 一切的恩赐,属灵武器,一切的作为,都为了除去基督徒身上的坚固的营垒, 好让圣灵能自由的在基督徒身上运行。
