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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

新加坡CKRM的新季节 - 郑文忠牧师

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

CKRM董事会


Part 1 - The Kingdom of God is a Kingdom of Power - Miracles, Signs & Wonders - Bro Joel How

A miracle is the occurrence of any event apparently contradictory to and unexplainable by the laws of science and usually attributed to God.

For what reasons does God generally perform miracles in our midst?

A. Miracles serve as a confirmation of a person's ministry or message.

1. The minister (person), that he is sent by God.

Exodus 4:3-9, 30:7:10, 12 Numbers 16:28-35 I Samuel 12:17, 18 I Kings 17:24 Mark 9:39; 16:17-18 John 3:2:6:14, 36; 11:42 Acts 2:22 2 Corinthians 12:12

2. The message (word), that it is from God.

Exodus 4:3-9, 30; 7:10, 12 Judges 6:11-21 I Kings 17:24; 18:37-39 2 Kings 20:8-11 Matthew 11:2-5 Mark 16:20 John 5:36 Acts 2:22; 8:6 Hebrews 2:3-4

B. In the Old Testament, signs or wonders served as evidence of the one true God.

Exodus 7:17 Deuteronomy 4:35 Joshua 2:11 1 Kings 18:24, 37-39 2 Kings 5:15, 17 Daniel 3:28, 29

C. God performs miracles to meet the needs of His people.

Exodus 14:22 (the parting of the Red Sea, to save God's people in time of trouble) Exodus 16:4-31 (manna fell from the sky, that God's people might be fed in the wilderness) Exodus 17:5, 7 (water came from a rock, to quench their thirst) I Kings 17:4-7 (ravens fed Elijah during famine) I Kings 17:10-16 (the widow's cruse of oil and barrel of meal never emptied, during time of famine) 2 Kings 2:19-22 (the waters were sweetened) 2 Kings 4:38, 40-41 with Mark 16:18 (eating of poisonous food not harmful to His people) 2 Kings 4:42-44 (100 people fed in famine with a small portion of food) Matthew 16:8-10, etc. (thousands fed with the small amount of food available) John 2:1-11 (water was turned to wine at. a wedding feast) Acts 28:3-6 with Mark 16:18; Luke l0:19 (a poisonous snake bite un harmful to believers)

D. Miracles increase our faith.

John 2:11, 23; 4:53:7:31; 11:45;20:30-31 Numbers 14:11 Acts 9:42

E. God sends them sometimes as judgment upon the unjust.

1. The plagues, etc. – Moses and Pharaoh. Exodus chapters 7-12
2. Elijah and the drought of several years. I Kings 17:1, 14, etc.; 18:1, 42-45 Luke 4:25-26 James 5:17, 18
3. Hailstones sent in battle against the enemy. Joshua 10:11
4. The sun standing still during battle. Joshua 10:12-14
5. The waters turned to blood; a drought pronounced upon the land – the two witnesses of Revelation. Revelation 11:5-6

However, it must be recognized that Satan can also perform lying (counterfeit) signs & wonders. Not everything supernatural is of God.

Exodus 7:9-11, 8:17-19, Deuteronomy 13:1-5, Matthew 24:24, Mark 13:22, 2 Thessalonians 2:9, Revelation 13:13-14, 16:14, 19:20.

Satan could also do signs & wonders up to about 30% of what our God could do. The Pharaoh’s magicians could not do when Moses at the 4th level of miracle, struck the ground and throughout Egypt the dust became gnats. Exodus 8:18, “But when the magicians tried to produce gnats by their secret arts, they could not. And the gnats were on men and animals. Verse 19: The magicians said to Pharaoh, “This is the finger of God…”

马六甲CKRM 第一季报告-第一部份

第一部分: 神的国度是一个有能力的国度。神迹奇事和百般的异能 – 约耳弟兄

所谓奇事是指对科学法律相反和无法解释的事件, 而且一般是属于神的作为。
为什么神通常在我们当中行奇事?

A. 奇事乃是对个人事工或讯息的印证。
1. 印证那仆人是神所差派的。
出埃及记4: 3-9,30; 7: 10,12; 民数记 16: 28-35;撒母耳记上 12: 17, 18;列王纪上 17: 24;马可福音 9: 39; 16: 17-18;约翰福音3: 2; 6: 14, 36; 11: 42;使徒行传2: 22;哥林多后书 12: 12

2. 印证祂仆人所传的道。
出埃及记4: 3-9, 30; 7: 10,12; 士师记 6:11-21; 列王纪上17:24; 18:37-39; 列王纪下 20:8-11; 马太福音11:2-5; 马可福音 16:20; 约翰福音5:36; 使徒行传 2:22; 8:6; 希伯来书 2:3-4

B. 在旧约里,神借着神迹奇事来见证祂是独一无二的真神。出埃及记 7:17; 申命记 4:35; 约书亚记 2:11; 列王纪上18:24; 37-39; 列王纪下 5:15; 但以理书 3:28-29

C. 神行奇事来满足祂子民的需要。
出埃及记14:22 (打开红海拯救在患难中的子民);出埃及记 16:4-31 (吗 哪从天上降下,喂饱在旷野中神的子民);出埃及记 17:5-7 (水从磐石里流出来,为他们解渴); 列王纪上 17:4-7 (在饥荒时刻,乌 鸦喂养了以利亚);列王纪上 17:10-16 (在饥荒时刻,寡妇坛内的面不减少,瓶里的油也不缺短);列王记下2:19-22 (恶 劣的水被治好);列王记下4:38, 40-41, 马可福音16:18 (吃了有毒的食物却不受任何伤害);列王记下4:42-44 (在饥荒时刻,一点的食物却足够给百人吃);马太福音16:8-10 (少许的食物足够分给好几千人);约翰福音2:1-11(在一个筵席里,水变成了酒);使徒行传28:3-6,马可福音16:18, 路加福音 10:19 (信徒被蛇咬却不受伤害)

D. 奇事加增我们的信心
约翰福音2:11, 23; 4:53; 7:31; 11:45; 20:30-31; 民数记 14:11; 使徒行传 9:42

E. 神有时以奇事来审判不公义的人
1. 十灾 – 摩西和法老。(出埃及记 7-12 章)
2. 以利亚和三年零六个月的旱灾。(列王纪上17:1, 14; 18:1, 42-45;路加福音 4:25-26; 雅各书 5:17-18)
3. 天上降大冰雹打死仇敌 (约书亚记 10:11)
4. 在争战时,日头在天当中停住(约书亚记 10:12-14)
5. 启示录里的两 个见证人能叫天闭塞不下雨,又有权柄叫水变为血 (启示录 11:5-6)然而,我们必须辨认撒 但能够模仿我们真神的神迹奇事。 不是一切超自然都出至于神的作为。出埃及记 7:9-11; 8:17-19; 民数记 13:1-5; 马太福音24:24; 马可福音 13:22; 帖撒罗尼迦后书 2:9; 启示录 13:13-14;16:14; 19:20

与我们真神的神迹奇事相比,撒但最多只能模仿到三成的能力。当摩西在第四层的奇事时 - 击打地上的尘土 , 使尘土在埃及遍地变作虱子, 那些在法老身边行法术的却不能够模仿。出埃及记 8:18 行法术的也用邪术要生出虱子来,却是不能。於是在人身上和牲畜身上都有了虱子。第十九节: “行法术的就对法老说:这是神的手的作为。。。。。。


My Testimony in CKRM by Bro. Chia Chong Hon / 我在CKRM的见证 - 谢松汉

Prior to attending CKRM:

I, Chia Chong Hon was born in 1966. I am currently 43 yrs old and received Christ as my saviour at the age of 30. I have a good wife and three lovely children and we live in Klang. I was in sales till I became a full-time worker in church at the age of 38. I was in-charge of leading cell groups and discipleship of new believers. I am happy with the salary offered by the church and the pastor treated me well. I am also pleased with my ministry because I led a lot of people to Christ and miracles, signs and wonder followed me. However, after a year in ministry, the inner peace and joy in my heart was suddenly gone. I prayed 3 months about it but the inner peace and joy was not restored. In order to seek the divine peace of God, I quitted my job by faith and stayed at home to wait upon God.

In the 1st year, I steadfastly prayed, read the bible, fasted and seek God. In the 2nd and 3rd year, I began to seek God in ministries such as businessman fellowship and foreign worker ministry. In the 4th year, due to disappointment with God, I became a Christian who no longer read the bible, pray, seek God or attend church as I felt that God has abandoned me. But my heart yearned for God everyday like one who yearns for a lost lover of many years.

While attending CKRM:

On 25 April 2009, through Sis. Susan, God brought me to CKRM Malacca’s leadership training camp. This is the 1st time I saw Pst. Paul and Pst. Esther’s ministry. I saw manifestations which I have never seen before (the roar of the Lion of Judah, the stone of David, the sword of the Spirit) Naturally, I doubted these manifestations and wondered if they are of the Holy Spirit but I dare not criticize the work of the Holy Spirit. That day, I didn’t receive the anointing and just returned home.

I took part in the 2-day Joshua camp on the 1st and 2nd May. More than 40 participants from Singapore came and because of their involvement, I saw even more manifestations of the Holy Spirit (Shepherd dog, carry the cross, prophesy, speaking in foreign tongues …). I still didn’t receive anything. I was thinking, if this is not of God, it will be better not to have it. But if it’s from the Holy Spirit and since He doesn’t want me to have it, there isn’t much I can do either. After lunch on the 2nd day, I sat alone at one corner. Suddenly, I was filled with the Holy Spirit and I made a soft groaning sound similar to that of a lion which spotted prey. In my heart, I wanted to roar but I didn’t dare to do so. During the last lesson, Pst. Paul asked who has received the power of God for the 1st time so I went to the front. When Pst. Paul stretched out his hands toward me, the Holy Spirit caused me to roar like a lion with all my might. In my heart, I knew God has delivered me. Thank God, those who yearn for God will not hope in vain.

After attending CKRM:

Now, I go to CKRM Malacca every Saturday to be empowered, as to prepare myself for ministry in future. What change after I attend CKRM? (Good tree bears good fruit)

1) Nowadays, I read the bible like I used to, pray and is moved by the Holy Spirit at dawn to fellowship with Him.

2) The inner peace and joy is gradually being restored unto me.

3) My faith has increased(Even if I endure another 4 years of hardship, I will still praise God, Hallelujah)

4) There is more power when I minister because the spiritual giftings and anointing I received from CKRM is still functional when I return to Klang.

我在CKRM的见证
----------------------
没来 CKRM之前

本人谢松汉在一九六六年出世,今年四十三岁。三十岁时接受耶稣基督成为个人的救主。我有一个好妻子,三个好孩子,住在吧生。原本的职业是销售员,三十八岁成为教会全职同工。在教会我是负责新人陪训和带领小组。教会给的薪金我很满意,牧师也对我很好。我也很满意自己的事奉,

因为我带领了很多人信主又有神迹奇事跟随着我。但是在我服事一年后,突然我的内心失去平安和喜乐。我为这事祷告了三个月,还是内心没有平安和喜乐。为了寻回属天的平安,我就评着信心辞职,回家等候神。在家第一年很坚定的祷告、读经、禁食的寻求神。第二年和第三年我开始在外面的事工(商人团契、外劳事工)寻求神。第四年因对神的失望,我成为一个不读经、不祷告、不寻求神、不去教会的基督徒,因我认为神已经放弃了我。但我的心天天都思念着神,就像失去相恋很多年的爱人一样。

在CKRM时
神通过SUSAN姐妹在四月25日2009年,把我带到马六甲的CKRM领袖训练营。这是我第一次看到PS.PAUL与PS. ESTHER的服事。我看到圣灵充满所彰显出我从来没有见过的现象(犹大狮子的吼叫、大卫的石子、圣灵的宝剑) 。理所当然我会怀疑这些现象是不是圣灵的彰显,但我也不敢冒犯圣灵的作为。当天我没有领受任何圣灵的恩膏,就这样回家了。

我参加了5月1-2日的约书亚营。有四十多位从新加坡的弟兄姐妹也前来参加。因为他们的参与,第一天我看到更多圣灵的彰显(牧羊狗、背十字架、说豫言、说别国话。。。。)。我还是没有领受,所以我想如果这不是从神而来的,不要是好的。如果是来自圣灵,圣灵不要给我,我也不能做什么。

第二天的午餐后,我独自一人坐在一个角落。突然我被圣灵充满,口中发出低微狮子的鼻声,像狮子见到猎物一样。我的心里想大声吼叫,但又不敢。到了最后一堂课,PS. PAUL问谁第一次领受神的大能,我就去到前面。当PS. PAUL 把手伸向我时,圣灵使我用尽全身的力量像狮子般大声吼叫。我心里知道我被神释放了。感谢神,对神有所渴慕的,必永不落空。

来了CKRM之后
现在我每个星期六都到马六甲CKRM 接受装备,为以后的事奉而准备。去了CKRM后我有什么改变呢? (好树结好果子)

1) 现在我又能像以前一样读经、祷告、凌晨圣灵感动我起来灵修。

2) 我内在的平安和喜乐也渐渐恢复了。

3) 我的信心增加了。(再来四年的磨练我也能哈利路亚赞美主)

4) 服事人的力量也加增了,因为在CKRM所领受的恩赐和恩膏就算回到吧生也一样可以发挥功效祝福他人。

谢松汉


It has been 31 days since I first stepped into CKRM by How Lingli / 马六甲CKRM ----我与主与圣灵相遇

My journey started when my dad came back from Joshua Camp on 1st May 2009. He was excited and told us (my mom & I) about how he saw the Power of God moved in the camp. He said that the pastor did not even lay hands on any one but they were slained. Dad asked me to go to CKRM on the next day. I really wanted to study since my final exams will be in 2 weeks time. So I make a deal with him. If the meeting is not interesting, I will want to go back during lunch break. That was my plan.

I reached there about 9am on 2nd May 2009. During the morning session of Joshua camp, what amazed me was when Pastor Paul called out 7 people to sit in front facing the audience. All these 7 individuals are highly sensitive to the Holy Spirit. They were there to confirm Pastor Paul’s words. I was amazed because all of them manifested in different ways but they can agree on the same things. It was something I have never seen before in my life.

Bro. Timothy was in charge for the afternoon session. The meeting started with the Fire Anointing. While I was focusing on God, my hands started to shake. At one point, I felt like someone was covering my ears with warm hands. My body was trembling and I was screaming my lungs out. I did not know what was happening to me. Later, I fell down on my seat. I was really exhausted.

Next, Pastor Esther was in charge of the 2nd half of the afternoon session. She was explaining the difference between the gift of prophecy and the calling of to be a prophet of God. When she finished the session, Pastor Paul called me up. He said that God has given me the gift of prophecy. I lifted my hands up and received it. Later, I was down on the floor. My hands were shaking and my body was trembling. At one point, I was happy and laughing very loudly. I have never laughed so loudly in public before. It was the Joy of the Holy Spirit. I soon discovered that I was confirming Pastor Paul’s words by nodding my head while I was on the floor. I was truly blessed in the meeting.

When I was at home, I recalled that a visiting prophet who came to my church in February 2008. Pastor Thomas Cheng anointed my ears and prophesied that God has given me a gift. At that time, he did not say what the gift was about. About a year after God begin to confirm the gift he mentioned to me. Indeed, I have been truly blessed by my 1st visit to CKRM Melaka on 2nd May 2009. I have encountered the Lord and the Holy Spirit. I count myself blessed to be chosen by the Lord at such an early age of 20 in a couple of days’ time. I hope that all the young people of my generation will have a hunger for the things of God and believe that God will reveal his plan and purpose for their lives.

"Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.” Matthew 7:7-8

How Lingli
----------------------------------------------
Pastor’s Footnote:- The rapid spiritual growth within a short period is indeed awesome for Sis Lingli and she has been attending the CKRM Saturday Meeting faithfully since her 1st encounter with God at the Joshua Camp. God has called CKRM to set up a School of Supernatural in Malacca.

At the recent Prophetic Conference held at the Church in Malacca where Lingli attends, Ps Thomas Cherian, an anointed prophet from India very much like the prophet Samuel of the Bible gave a word to Sis Lingli that God has given her a gift and that she is attending some sort of training in School of Supernatural. He couldn’t have known about CKRM, least about Lingli attending the supernatural ministry, if the Lord has not revealed to him.

-----------------------------------------------
踏进马六甲CKRM已经有三十一天了,旅程的开始是从我父亲在五月一日;参加了约书亚营回家后开始。那天他兴奋的向我和母亲诉说神的大能如何在营中运行。他说牧师为人祷告时没有按手在任何人的身上,但是人们仍然被击倒在地上。父亲叫我隔天去CKRM 。但是在两个星期后,我有年终考试,所以我想在家复习功课。于是, 我与父亲立约。如果聚会淡然无趣, 我就会在午餐时间回家。那就是我的计划。

我在二零零九年五月二日大概早上九点抵达哪儿。约书亚营早上的时间是教导圣火的恩膏,由保罗牧师教导。 让我感到惊讶的是: 一开始保罗牧师先叫七个人出来坐在讲台下面大家面前。(他们都面向会众)这七个人的灵对圣灵非常敏锐。他们坐在哪儿印证保罗牧师所说的话。让我惊讶的是:虽然他们每个人的彰显都不同, 但他们都在不同的事物上有同样的认同。这是我一生从未曾见过的。

提摩太弟兄负责下午的部份。聚会一开始就谈到圣火的恩膏。当我专心仰望神时,忽然发现我的手开始颤抖。在其中一段时间, 我觉得似乎有人用温热的手盖住我的耳朵。我的身体在不断发抖,同时我不断大声地喊叫。我不知道在我身上发生了什么事。后来我筋疲力尽的躺卧在坐椅上。

接着, 以斯帖牧师负责下午剩下的时间。她解释先知启示性的恩赐与先知的呼召是有分别的,是不一样的。她教导完后, 保罗牧师把我叫出来。他说神给了我先知启示性的恩赐。我举起手来领受。接着, 我发现自已躺卧在地上。而我的手不断在颤抖,而身体在发抖。有一段时间, 我感到喜乐,并且大声地笑。我从来没有在公共场所那么大声笑过。那是圣灵的喜乐在我身上。当我躺卧在地上时,我发现自已很自然会点头印证保罗牧师所说的话语。真的,神在这个营会非常祝福了我,我非常的蒙福。

在家中, 我想起在二零零八年二月时有一位先知名叫 Thomas Cheng的拜访我的教会。Thomas Cheng 牧师恩膏我的耳朵并且向我发预言说神给了我一个恩赐。当时, 他没说是什么恩赐。一年后, 神开始向我印证 那预言。确实, 我在二零零九年五月二日首次拜访马六甲CKRM 是很蒙福的。我与主与圣灵相遇了。二十岁的我觉得自己很蒙福, 年纪轻轻的,在几天里就被神拣选。我希望我这一代的年轻人对神的事物有渴望。我也相信神会显明祂在我们生命里的计划和意义。
"你们祈求,就给你们;寻找,就寻见;叩门,就给你们开门。因为凡祈求的,就得着;寻找的,就寻见;叩门的,就给他开门 “。马太福音7:7-8

The Lord has helped me to quit smoking - Bro Marco

I was a non-believer when Celeste first brought me to CKRM church. I was very skeptical of everything. I thought the power ministry was like a movie, it was as if when i walked into the church, someone at the door declare ' camera!' and the whole 'movie' started playing.

However, I gradually started to have better faith in God. It was because during the initial period of believing in God that certain small things that i prayed for, did happen. 50% of me, was probably trying to 'test' God to see if He is real.

Right now, i have to believe that the Lord is very real because He helped me stopped smoking!I have been smoking for the past 13 years and I know that if I would to quit on my own, it would be a near impossible task, in fact I didn’t want to quit at all.

It was on a Wednesday night (20/05/09) at around 12am, I was in my room and for no particular reason I prayed to God to be with me and help me overcome my smoking, and so I started saying short prayer (about 2- 5mins). I said to Him : ' Dear God, i pray that you would help me overcome this slavery to cigarettes and give me 100% victory.

I would stop smoking for the next 7 days, and if I endure 7 days without smoking one stick of cig, I will pray to you Lord that you would take away my urge to smoke. However, I can't do it on my own, I need your help Lord especially during my 7 days of not smoking. I have faith that with your help, I will overcame the urge to smoke because I know You have always been faithful to your people, in your most holy and precious name Jesus, I pray, Amen.

Over the next few days, i was surprised that the urge to smoke was not that strong, even if my friends were smoking in front of me I could easily overcome the urge, and when there moments that I was afraid that the urge of smoking will overcome me, I called out our Lord's name Jesus and it worked! The urge would disappear gradually.

Up till now, I have not smoked and I thank God for being with me and I continue to pray that the Lord would be with me to overcome the urge of smoking. I could not have done it on my own, it is God's work and i have faith and believe that God would answer my prayers when I ask for help to quit smoking.

GOD IS GREAT!!! WOOOO HOOOOOO!!


God blessed my family at CKRM Malacca - Deacon Joel How / 神在马六甲CKRM 祝福我和我家人

Dearest Pastor Paul,

Thank you so much for your encouragement. The anointing has changed me totally. It has created in me a deeper longing for God and His presence.

The anointing was so great at the fellowship table last Saturday. When you asked me to pray “Lord I call the anointing for a bolt of lightning upon me” I felt like my body was going to “explode.” It was an experience no words can describe. It was so much that I had to call my sisters and brothers in Christ to come and receive the overflowing anointing from me! All who came, freely they received. Freely I received, freely I gave. Even my wife received and she began to tremble when the Glory of God fell upon her. When I held her hand the second time, she fell under the Power of the Holy Spirit.

I begin to walk in awareness of the Lord. The desire to watch television has decreased and when I watch I begin to be selective. Any scene that portrays things which are not of God I will not watch. There is an uneasiness in me if I continue to watch.

I begin to want more of God. As you mentioned in your article “The Fire Anointing and its Purpose”, you said the fire will draw our hearts back to our first love. The fire of God is awesome as it begins to purify my life and it creates in me a longing for God. I begin to discard habits and things which are unholy. I tried many times before this but just couldn’t find the strength to throw away all these things. Now I find that it is much easier, but there are still a lot of things to be dealt with. I begin to watch my words. If I have said anything not good, I quickly ask God for forgiveness. Begin to talk less or gossip about other people. I also begin to watch my heart and my mind.

Pastor, you continuously reminded us to treasure the anointing. Now I begin to understand why David Herzog said, “If you try to cast away darkness but you yourself are not full of light, chances are it will take a long time to do it. When you are full of the Glory of God, often one word from God will expel the darkness.” As in the Bible Jesus always used short commands like “Begone”, “Come out”, “Come” when he called Peter to walk on water, “Be still” etc. When I do not sense the presence of God in a Christian meeting I feel so miserable. With His presence it is so wonderful as we are having a Holy Spirit party at CKRM every week without fail.

Begin to feel the anointing is becoming stronger and stronger and it’s so effective. Now I just need to point at my daughter and she begins to tremble because she senses the anointing in her spirit. I am always looking forward for Saturday to go to His house to soak in His presence. As the Bible says, “In His presence there’s fullness of joy and in His right hand, there’s pleasure forever more.” Earma Brown shared that we must acknowledge our zeal. Anointing may have decreased, if we find ourselves not doing the things we first did. Decide today to repent and go back to your first love (Christ). Our Father God awaits us with open arms. I have never confessed and ask for forgiveness so much as I am doing now. Each week at CKRM I go with a repentant heart and God never fail to touch me.

I am so thankful to God for His Hands upon me and my family. Yesterday after watching my second son’s final project (Film and Animation degree in MMU at Cyberjaya) before graduation, he wrote that his project is dedicated to God, dad, mum, bro and sis. As I have deposited God in his life, I am so pleased to notice my son remembers God in the things he does even in his studies at Multimedia University. It is so important to acknowledge God in everything we do.

Blessings,

Deacon Joel How

亲爱的保罗牧师,

感谢你的鼓励。神的恩膏完全改变了我, 使我对神和祂的同在更加渴慕。

上星期六, 圣灵的恩膏在我们茶桌交通时是如此强烈的同在。感谢主!当你叫我祷告 “主, 我求祢如闪电的恩膏降临在我身上” 时,我感到我的身体好像就要” 爆炸” 了。这个经历是没有言语可以形容的。恩膏的厚度强到我受不了必需分出去,不然就要爆炸。所以我敢快呼叫主里的兄弟姐妹来我这儿领受恩膏! 当我握着前来的弟兄姐妹的手时,恩膏就传递过去,他们都领受到恩膏。 圣灵大大地祝福我, 我也大大地祝福他人。就连我的妻子也领受恩膏, 就在神的荣耀里颤抖。当我第二次握她的手时, 她被圣灵的大能击倒在地上。

我开始在神的意识里行走。以往爱观看电视节目的欲望已不断减少,而我也挑选节目不随便观看。任何带有不属神东西的情景我就不看。如果继续看, 我就感到不自在。

我发现自己开始更加渴慕神。就如你在“ 圣火恩膏和它的用途” 这篇文章 提到圣火会将我们爱世界的心转回我们对神起初的爱。神的火开始洁净我的生命, 使我愈来愈渴慕神。真是神奇! 我开始丢弃不圣洁的习惯和事物。以前我也尝试过这样做,但始终找不到那个力量把它们丢掉。如今我觉得要丢弃这些东西比以往容易了,真是感谢主!但需要处理的事情还是很多。不知不觉我开始留意我的话语。如果说了不好的话语,我能马上知道并极快求神饶恕我。更少讲闲话或讲别人的是非。我开始警戒自己,保守我的心思意念。

牧师, 你一直在提醒我们要珍惜神的恩膏。我现在开始明白为什么。DAVID HERZOG 说过” 如果你试着赶走黑暗但你自己却没被光充满, 你将需要很长的时间才能赶走。但当你被神的荣耀充满时, 通常神的一句话就足够驱走黑暗。“在圣经里, 耶稣时常用很短的话如”离去”,” 出来”, 祂对彼得说” 来” 或” 安静” 。事情马上成就。现在当我在基督徒的聚会里感觉不到神的同在, 我就会感到难受。我渴慕在祂的同在里。

开始觉得恩膏越来越强而那恩膏是很有果效的。现在,我只需要指着我的女儿, 她就会在她的灵里感觉到。时时想往每个星期六在CKRM的聚会。在那里浸泡在圣灵的恩膏中,是何等享受,何等美好。就如圣经说的 :在祂的同在里满怀欢喜,而在他右手里, 喜乐永常在 。 “EARMA BROWN 说: 我们必须承认我们对神的热诚。如果我们没有继续,恩膏也许会减弱。今天就决定悔改,回到对主耶稣起初的初爱。我们的天父正敞开着双手等候欢迎你。在我生命里,我从没像现在这样,常常那么被感动要认罪和求神的饶恕。每个星期带着悔改的心去CKRM而神不断地感动我。

我很感谢神, 祂的手触动我和我的家人。昨日, 观看我第二个儿子毕业前的最后一部作品(戏剧与卡通文科 MMU 在 CYBERJAYA), 他写到这部作品是他献给神, 爸爸, 妈妈, 哥哥, 妹妹。因我在他的生命里存入神,我很高兴我的儿子在他学业里紧记着神。无论做什么都要紧记着神, 认同祂是何等的重要。

祝福

After being empowered by God at CKRM, my cell group is never the same again / 在CKRM被恩膏装备后,我的小组再也不一样了

I want to thank God for leading me to CKRM Singapore and Malacca.

The Lord is equipping and empowering me to do His work in healing, deliverance and empowerment. Back to last year in November, after received the prayer of impartation through telephone from Pastor Paul, the level of anointing in my house especially in cell group time just shoot to high level. I saw healing, deliverance and empowerment took place when I exercised 'CKRM's anointing. We move into high praise and worship under the open heaven.

Tonight, I want to praise God that the Lord used me in healing, deliverance and empowerment in CG. After praise and worship, silver stain appeared in my song sheets. The anointing was very strong and we flow in prophetic in praying for the nation after watching Healing Crusade by Benny Hinn. After fellowship, I was led to declare the fire (Mat 3:11) upon my friend. She was vomiting each time I called down the fire of God. Brother Chia, who waited upon the Lord for 4 years, came to my house tonight. The Lord blessed him with 'The Sword' (Isa 27:1, Eph 6:17). I asked him to practice 'The Sword' upon my wife and my CG leader; he operated 'The Sword' with the great authority and power!! Both my wife and friend experienced deliverance when the Sword wielding upon them! I ccould see Holy Spirit was empowering Brother Chia in my house.

Then later I was explaining how I received the weapons of warfare and fire anointing and the purpose of deliverance and empowerment. I was led to 'blow' (John 20:22) to my friend, she was vomiting again!!! Just a blowing causes each deliverance!!! In the spirit, I saw the breathe of fire being blow in her! Wow, by yielding to the Holy Spirit and operate under the Glory of God, healing and deliverance is so easy and accelerated!! Also, the Lord inspired me to impart "The Sword' to my friend for self-deliverance. I obeyed and imparted. She received it with such’heaviness in her hand. Praise God that the Lord is equipping and empowering my friend. I believe she will come to CKRM Malacca soon. After much deliverance in my friend, I just spoke a word 'Joy of the Lord’; my friend broke out in Holy Laughter! WOW!

All the signs, miracle, healing, deliverance, empowerment, bring us back to the Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith. It stirred our passion in our heart to worship Him!

I give all the Glory to God!

Pastor's Footnote: Bro Thomas is a Civil Engineer and resides in Klang, Selangor about 2 hours ride to CKRM Malacca. He faithfully come to attend CKRM Power & Prophetic Meeting every Saturday with his wife, also a Civil Engineer by profession. They are now both co-workers in our worship team.

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

感谢神带领我来到新加坡和马六甲的CKRM。神在装备我,让我领受祂的能力好让我可以做祂的工, 行使在医治, 释放,和让其他人领受神的能力。去年十一月,保罗牧师在电话中传递恩膏给我之后, 我家里的恩膏,特别是在小组聚会时, 达到一个高峰。每当我使用CKRM的恩膏时, 我就会看到医治, 释放和小组会员领受神的能力。在敞开的天堂下, 我们的敬拜赞美也达到一个高峰。

今晚我要赞美神, 因为在今晚的小组聚会时,祂使用我在医治, 释放和让小组会员领受神的能力。敬拜赞美之后, 我发现我的歌纸出现银色的染料。恩膏非常的强, 我们看完Benny Hinn的 医治布道会的光碟后,一起在先知启示恩膏的浇灌流动下为国家祷告。聚会完后, 圣灵感动我宣告圣火(马太福音3:11) 降临在我一位朋友的身上。每当我呼求圣火降临,圣火就降在她身上, 她就会呕吐。今晚一位等候主四年的谢兄弟也来到我家中。主赐他”圣灵的宝剑”' (以赛亚书 27:1, 以弗所书 6:17). 我就叫他在我妻子和小组长身上操练”圣灵的宝剑”'; 他大有权柄和能力的使用”圣灵的宝剑”!! 当”圣灵的宝剑”' 运用在我的妻子和朋友身上时, 她们都经历释放! 我看得出圣灵正在我家中装备谢弟兄。后来, 我解释我是如何领受这些作战的武器和圣火的恩膏。我也解释,释放和被神大能装备的意义。圣灵感动我向一位朋友”吹气” (约翰福音 20:22), 她又开始呕吐!!!

每一次向她吹气” 她就得释放!!! 在灵里, 我看见圣火的气息吹向她! Wow, 只要顺服圣灵的带领,运行在神的荣耀里, 医治和释放是那么容易与快速!! 还有, 主引导我将”圣灵的宝剑”' 传递给我的朋友好让她能为自己做释放。我顺服并传递了给她。她领受时, 感觉手中有” 重量”。赞美神装备我这位朋友。我相信她在不久的将会会前来马六甲CKRM 接受更多的装备。经历那么多释放后, 我说一句“主的喜乐”; 我的朋友就被圣灵充满, 破口大笑! WOW!所有的神迹奇事,百般异能 ,医治, 释放, 被神的大能装备等等是为了引导我们回归主耶稣-我们信心的创始成终者。这些东西燃起我们心中的渴慕来拜赞祂!将一切荣耀归给神!

Joshua Camp - Testimony from a Deacon / 约书亚营 - 一位执事长老的见证


Hole in shirt appeared after Bro Joel was "hit" by the stone of David

Bro Mark,

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your wonderful reports of the works of the Holy Spirit during the Joshua Camp.

I sincerely thank Pastor Paul and Ps Esther for freely accepting and blessing my family to operate in the anointing of the Holy Spirit!

When Bro Julian Ma invited me, in my heart I was thinking which church in Malacca I have not been that God is moving supernaturally?

I went in CKRM with much anticipation and hunger. I saw signs and wonders happening right with my own eyes. As the meeting was coming to a close I wasn't singled out by Pastor Paul. In my heart I was praying God please don't bypass me, I want to receive from You! Then Ps Paul called me out to the Altar.

I raised my hands towards God but I was struggling to enter into his presence. Then I heard the word of God through Ps Esther - "you have been there and you can experience Him."

Immediately I was slained and the power that went into me was so great and wonderful that I had never experienced before in my entire Christian walk!

I went home telling the encounter to my wife Anna and my daughter Lingli. I brought them to the camp the second day. It was the greatest and most wonderful encounter and from then on no turning back, no turning back. My daughter and wife were greatly blessed.

Upon careful checking on my T-shirt, I found the hole made by the stone released by Ps Paul - the cut was made from inside out! Haleluyah and praise the Lord! I am amazed by the power of God. My prayer is I will be able to see into the spiritual realm when Ps Paul says "in my hand are a sling and a stone" (1 Samuel 17:49).

The next day, I went back to my church (which you mentioned big) to me big or small is not important. I want to experience the Big, Mighty God that we serve. During the middle of worship I observed my daughter was already in the anointing of God as she was shaking and later I was also in the anointing that I roared like a lion (Amos 1:2, 3:8, Revelation 5:5, 10:3) and later prostrated in the awesome presence of our Lord Jesus.

Thank you, Bro Mark Tay that we met in this divine camp. I thank every brothers and sisters too who were at the camp.

May God bless you all abundantly!

约书亚营 - 一位执事长老的见证

马可弟兄,

看了你所写关于圣灵在约书亚营当中运行的报告之后,我心中充满感恩。我很感激神藉着保罗牧师和以斯帖牧师,祝福了我和我的家人,并且让我们能够在圣灵恩膏下自由的运行。

当Julian弟兄邀请我出席马六甲CKRM的公开特会时, 我心里在想,在马六甲还有哪一间教会是充满着神超自然能力在运行,而我还没有去过的。我带着极大的渴慕和期待出席这特会。在这聚会里,神迹奇事就在我眼前不段的发生,但就是没有发生在我身上。当聚会要结束之前,我在心中向主祷告,“神啊,请别漏了我, 我要从袮那儿领受祝福 。接着保罗牧师忽然把我叫出去,邀请我到台前。

我向神举起双手,但是心中却在挣扎,不能完全进入祂的同在里。 然后,我听到了神的话语,通过以斯帖牧师的口“你曾经到过那里,你是可以经历祂的同在。”我马上被圣灵的能力击倒。然后,有一股很强烈的能力进入了我的身体。这是我一生虽然做了基督徒这么久,却从未经历过。

回到家时, 我和我的妻子Anna,以及我的女儿Lingli, 分享了我的经历。 我就带了他们出席第二天的约书亚营聚会。那是我生命中最美好的经历。我也知道此刻开始是没回头路,也不再有冷淡退后的时刻。我的妻子和女儿都得到极大的祝福。经过仔细的查验,我发现当保罗牧师向我释放了大卫的石子后,却造成了我的衣服破了一个小洞,而那小洞是从里面穿向外去。赞美神!我确实对神的能力感到惊讶。我的祷告就是当保罗牧师说他手上拿着“机弦与石子”(撒母耳記上17:49)时,让我能够在属灵的境界里,看见这大有能力的武器。

隔天,当我回到我的教会时,(你说是大教会)我觉得无论是大教会或小教会,这不重要。我要经历的是我们所服侍的那位伟大的神。在敬拜赞美的时候,我女儿在圣灵恩膏里浸泡并颤抖。我也在圣灵的恩膏下发出狮子吼叫(阿摩司书 1:2,3:8;启示录 5:5,10:3) 。过后,我便俯伏的浸泡在神的同在中。

谢谢你,马可弟兄。 确实是上帝的安排使我能够在这约书亚营遇见你。我也同时要谢谢在约书亚营里的每一位弟兄姐妹们。

愿神大大的祝福你们。

约珥弟兄


第一届约书亚营 / Joshua Camp 2009 - Bro Mark Tay

第一届的约书亚营对CKRM的事工带来了一个很重要的意义,那就是约书亚时代的精兵,跨越了约旦河,进入马六甲承受神所赐给CKRM的应许之地。

新加坡CKRM的代表团队在四月三十号,晚上八点左右,抵达马六甲的CKRM. 在圣灵的引导下,约书亚和迦勒弟兄带领着大家一同展开步伐,前往着应许之地。在欢呼和喜乐中,新加坡的CKRM团队跨越了属灵界的约旦河,正式踏入马六甲应许之地。哈利路亚!

跨越了约旦河之后,在约书亚营开始的第一天,神的儿女们都非常渴慕与期待圣灵的同在。 首先,来自新加坡CKRM的弓射手以琴与炉来邀请神与我们同在。在敬拜的时候,圣灵感动了提摩太弟兄带领大家围 绕整个圣所。这是一个启示性的动作,在灵界里,这乃是在拆毁耶利哥城的城墙。得胜后,大家高声的歌颂和高举主名。

接着,保罗牧师教导和示范了歌林多前书2:4“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”。一位姐妹原本对神和CKRM的事工有所怀疑,可是一旦圣灵把她双脚钉在地上时,这一切的怀疑都被除去。后来,这位姐妹经过被释放后,被圣灵充满。其中一个精彩的场面是当天晚上的公开特会。保罗牧师和以斯帖牧师释放了预言以及使用神给予CKRM的各样属灵恩赐与武器,使到许多当中的会众得着圣灵的能力。同时,圣灵的能力很强烈的降临在Robert弟兄的身上。他是马六甲一间大型教会的执事长老。

隔天,Robert弟兄带他家人一同出席第二天的约书亚营。当保罗牧师释放“大卫的机弦与石子”时,Robert弟兄被圣灵击倒在地上。那石头穿过了他的身体和衣服,在他的衣服留下了一个洞。他对神的渴慕与爱慕,后来神给了他一个新的名字,叫约珥。代表着他新生命的开始。约珥弟兄的家人也得到上帝极大的祝福。他妻子和女儿都被喜乐的灵充满。他的女儿被圣灵击倒在地上,大约有一小时,神也启动了她的先知启示性的恩赐。

许多的会众都到台前给于见证,述说神的大能和恩惠。Benjamin弟兄的父亲提到他知晓在槟城有一间教会也在神的能力中运行。但是,他却对马六甲的CKRM感到惊讶,因为 CKRM 马六甲不但充满着神的能力,而且也有神话语的教导。这是很难得的。他接着也提醒,当大家各自回到自己的教会时,请不要被别人的不信和怀疑污染大家的思想,因为在CKRM所发生的一切确实是完全从神而来的。最后,他壮胆的宣告说,复兴将会临到马六甲。 哈利路亚!

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

Joshua Camp marks an important milestone in the history of CKRM Christian Centre Ltd as the Joshua generation crosses the Jordan River to possess the Promised Land. The team from CKRM Singapore arrived in Malacca on 30th April at around 8 pm. Led by the Spirit, Bro Joshua and Bro Caleb led the way into the land while the worship team and the rest followed closely behind. In the midst of much rejoicing and celebration, the team from CKRM Singapore crossed the spiritual Jordan River and stepped into the Promised Land. Hallelujah!

After crossing the “Jordan River”, the people of God continued to press in on the first day of the camp. Spearheading the day was Archer Girl from CKRM Singapore, whom the Lord used mightily to usher in the presence of God as she sang and played on the piano. As the people were worshipping the Lord, the Holy Spirit prompted Bro Timothy to circle around the sanctuary. This is a prophetic act of advancing the kingdom of God by tearing down the walls of Jericho in the spiritual realm. Having secured the victory in the spiritual realm, we praised the Lord and exalted His name.

Pastor Paul went on to teach and show for “My message and my preaching were not with wise and persuasive words, but with a demonstration of the Spirit's power,” (1 Corinthian 2:4). A sister’s doubts about God and CKRM were completely removed when the Holy Spirit “grounded” her legs to the floor. Subsequently, she underwent deliverance and was filled with the Spirit. One of the highlights of the camp was the open night meeting that day. Pastor Paul and Pastor Esther prophesied and empowered many that night using the various gifting and “weaponry” that God has blessed CKRM with. The power of God came upon Bro Robert, a deacon of a large church in Malaysia very strongly.

The next day, Bro Robert brought his family along. Once again, he had a taste of the power of God when the stone of David went right through him and burst a hole at the back of his shirt as it came out from his back! The Lord gave Bro Robert a new name, called Joel, signifying the beginning of his new life and walk with the Lord. His family was greatly blessed too. Bro Joel’s wife was swept with the joy of the Lord while his daughter spent an hour on the carpet as her prophetic gifting was stirred up. She was swept with joy too.


Many testimonies poured in as different people went up the stage to testify the power and goodness of God. Benjamin’s father commented that he knows of a church in Penang that moves in power, and was pleased to stumble upon another church (CKRM Malacca) that not only moves in power but also teaches the Word. He went on to warn the people present not to be “contaminated” by doubts and disbelief when they return to their own churches as whatever is happening in CKRM Malacca is completely from God. He closed his testimony by boldly proclaiming that revival will break out in Malacca. Hallelujah!


多加的见证—我属灵生命的突破 / Breakthrough of my Spiritual life

几天前早上醒来,心中有一个感动,于是我知道主要我写下这些见证。

3月22日当我们从吉隆坡出发到马六甲参加CKRM,我的心充满渴慕与兴奋。我没有想到这一次的参加,是主引领我进入他的属灵世界以及启发我的属灵恩赐的开始。我更没有想到,神在去年12月藉着一位先知向我们(我与我的先生)所发的预言已经应验,就是神会预备一个男士和一个女士拉着我们的手,帮助我们。

第一次参加CKRM的时候,神一开始就触摸我,神藉着以斯贴牧师开启我心中关闭的、不为人知的心门。在那时候,我听见好久没听到的神的话,就是神知道我的一切,我走过的路他都看见,而最重要的是,他爱我,也知道我爱他,渴慕他等等。神也再次透过牧师们重申与坚固并且启动祂已赐给我的预言的恩赐,从那一天起,我的属灵生命有了一个突破。

从CKRM回来后,我发现我的属灵感官敏锐了。晚上睡觉的时候,我开始发异梦,有些是神的启示和属灵的更新,当我醒来时,我整个人舒畅,好像从瀑布洗过澡后喝下一杯凉水一样的更新。而当我为别人祷告以及有一次我和朋友电话交谈时,突然间我会看到异象,看到对方的状况。另外,就是我比较能清楚听见以及分辨圣灵的声音,有时候我会听见自己的灵在唱歌或祷告。有一次当我在祷告中唱一首歌时,当我唱到一段我不会的部分时,突然我听见我的灵接下去唱,而后来经过查验后证明那歌词是正确的。还有昨天,我清楚的在家中听到美妙技巧的钢琴声 盘旋在我耳边以及嗅到浓郁的香味,我的心顿时充满喜乐,知道这是神的同在。另外,有两次神带领我进入他的内心:一次是使我从他的心里去感受祂是多么喜乐与乐意的心去赦免与忘记人所犯的罪;另外一次是当我在与罪挣扎时,突然间我发现我在祂里面,我的一切已经结束、已经死去,而祂的一切全是属于我的,祂无穷尽的圣洁、仁爱、饶恕、喜乐、平安、得胜全是属于我的,我不需要靠自己来胜过罪,只要完全降服在祂里面、安息在祂里面。这一些的真理我早已知道,但却从未如此真实的去经历,就好象从一本书读到一些旅游胜地,与真实去到那地方旅游的不同。

从第一次参加CKRM到今天,神每天都在对付与洁净我的罪,祂带领我悔改,引领我过圣洁的生活,祂要我把生命分别为圣,单单献给祂。而在4月11日(星期六)出发到马六甲的CKRM之前,我在祷告的时候,神告诉我,雅各已经成为过去了,祂要赐我以色列新的名字。就在那天星期六4月11日,以斯贴牧师告诉我,她领受到神给我一个新的名字—叫“多加”,我以前的一切已经成为过去,神已经为我掀开新的生命的一章。我相信这不过是进入新的属灵生命的开始,接下来还有更多的事会发生,最重要的是,更接近的认识耶稣…我所深爱的那一位。

我深深的感谢神开始在我的生命中装备我来服事他。神永远不会忘记祂的应许,祂是奇妙信实的神。我感谢神预备马六甲CKRM这一个谦卑但有祂的能力以及祂同在的地方,我感谢神带领祂的仆人保罗牧师以及以斯贴牧师来到马六甲,使这里凡是灵里饥渴贫穷的人蒙福。我深深的无尽的感谢神,因神纪念马来西亚,我相信神要藉着祂的仆人,为这里点燃复兴之火。啊们!

Breakthrough of my spiritual life

Few days ago, when I woke up in the morning, there was a prompting in my heart. Hence, I knew that God wanted me to note down these testimonies.

On 22nd March 2009, when we departed from Kuala Lumpur and was heading towards Malacca to attend the Saturday’s “Power and Prophetic Ministry” at CKRM Leadership Training (SEA) Sdn Bhd, my heart was filled with hunger and excitement. I did not expect this trip to CKRM was actually God’s will, that He began to lead me, entering into His spiritual world and to activate the gifts of the Spirit within me.

This was a prophecy given to us (my husband & me) that God would lead us to a man & a woman to revive our spiritual lives. Hence, the prophecy has come to pass.

While attending the meeting at CKRM for the first time, God used Ps. Esther to open up my hardened and hidden heart that was not known to anyone. At that moment, I heard the Word of God which I had not heard it for quite some time. God knows everything about me and every step that I had gone through. More importantly, He loves me and He knows that I do love Him and hunger for Him. The Lord also used the pastors to restore and strengthen me, and activated the prophetic gift which the Lord has previously given to me. From that day on, there was a breakthrough in my spiritual life.

After attended the meeting at CKRM, I realised my spiritual senses began to be more sensitive. During my sleep at night, I began to have dreams and some of them were revelation from the Lord and spiritual renewal. When I woke up from the sleep, my whole body was very refreshed, as if I had just taken a fresh shower over at the waterfall. While I was praying for others and talking to my friend over the phone, all of a sudden I would see visions regarding their situations. Besides, I could listen clearer to the voice of the Holy Spirit and to discern them. Sometimes, I would hear my spirit singing or praying. There was once while I was singing a song, I stopped at the latter part of the song as I do not know the lyric, I then heard my spirit continued singing. After verifying, it was confirmed that the lyric sang was correct.

Furthermore on yesterday, I clearly heard beautiful melody of a piano at my home, and I could smell a thick fragrance. My heart was filled with joy and I know that was the presence of God. There were also two experiences where the Lord let me feel His heartbeat, showing me that He is joyful and willing to show mercy and forget our sins. While I was struggling with sins, suddenly I realised I was in Him, my past was already been put to death and everything He has given me everything He has; the unlimited purity, love, forgiveness, joy, peace, and victory. I need not depend on my strength to overcome sins but to only surrender to God and rest in Him. I had already known all this truth, but I had yet to personally experience it. It was just so real. The difference is like between reading a book about some tourist attractions, and to actually visit them in reality.

Ever since our first visit to CKRM till now, God has been dealing with my sins and sanctifying me, leading me to repentance and to live a holy life. It is His heartbeat that my life is to be consecrated and only belongs to Him. On 11th April 2009 (Saturday), before we departed to go to CKRM at Melaka, during my prayer, God told me that Jacob has passed and He wants to give me a new name of Israel. On that particular Saturday (11th April), Pastor Esther told me she received that the Lord gives me a new name called “Dorcas”, my old has passed away, and God has already opened a new chapter in my life. I believe that this is only the beginning of entering into a new spiritual life; there will be more things to come in the future. Most importantly, it is to draw me closer to Jesus and knowing Him better.

Deep in my heart, I thank God that He began to prepare and equip me, in order for me to serve Him. God will never forget His promise. He is a miraculous and faithful God. I thank God for raising up CKRM Melaka, a ministry that is humble yet full of God’s power. I thank God for leading His servants, Pastor Paul and Pastor Esther to Melaka, so that those in Melaka, who are spiritually hungry and thirst, could be blessed. I also thank God, for remembering Malaysia and I believe through His servants, God is going to light up the fire of revival over here. Amen!

Blessed beyond measure in just one session at CKRM Malacca - Jane Then / 出席一次在马六甲CKRM的特会,领受了难於估计的祝福

It was truly a divine appointment for me to be at CKRM Malacca’s official opening on the 14 March 2009. I went because my friend was invited and I was blessed beyond measure in just this one session.

Sometime last year, my friend told me about CKRM Singapore, but I never desired to go. Before going to CKRM Malacca, the Lord in His supremacy & grace revealed the followings to me:

· I will begin to see Miracles, Signs & Wonders,
· A picture of the Lion & the Lamb.

All these happened at CKRM Malacca. So when I saw the manifestations during demonstration time, I was speechless but at the same time I was excited & I wanted to experience it.

So, when Ps Paul called us (the first timers) to go out to the front, I was really eager to see what would happen to me? First, he prayed for the fire of God to come upon us & then later he asked if I wanted to receive the arrows of God. Yes of course I wanted it. He then shot 3 arrows at me from a distance of about 5 meters and I fell onto the floor.

As we were about to leave after the session, Ps Paul prayed to empower me, simply by pointing his finger on my hand from a distance. WOH! I went down on the floor again, this time screaming & then laughing. O it was just awesome. I have never seen or experienced anything like this before.

We stayed on and we received anointing after anointing through Ps Paul & his team.

I received the Lion of Judah’s roar, spiritual wine, fireball, prophecy wine, & many more. At one point, I asked Ps Paul, is it possible to receive so many anointing in one session and he responded “Our God is the God of the impossible!” Oh! That really whets our appetite to want to receive ‘More’.

After we were activated & empowered, the Lord gave us opportunities to minister in Petaling Jaya & to put into practice what we have received.

The days that followed after the empowerment were simply awesome. When the anointing of the Holy Spirit came upon us, He will lead us and do what He wants for that session. Never before have had I experienced such awesome manifestations like playing the Guzhen, the drum for deliverance under the anointing (never played these instruments before in my life) and hosting the Presence of God & many more.

Even after returning to Singapore, the Lord gave us assignments to impart & empower some ladies back home. It was simply amazing! This verse that says: For My yoke is easy & My burden is light – Mt 11:30 became a Rhema Word to me.

We were so hungry for more, that shortly after, we flew to Kuala Lumpur again to attend a teaching seminar conducted by Ps Paul & Ps Esther at Jubilee Initiative Malaysia and also at Portals of His Glory. Here we witnessed the Mighty & Awesome Power of God at work again.

Ps Paul invited us to CKRM Singapore and here we were blessed with even more. I am so grateful & blessed by all of you. Thank you.

Indeed God rewards those who earnestly seek Him and He never fails to bless us each time we take that step of faith to trust in Him.

All Glory to our Lord God Almighty! Hallelujah!

出席一次在马六甲CKRM的特会,领受了难於估计的祝福

是神的旨意与安排, 让我能够参加马六甲CKRM超自然事工训练学校在2009年三月十四号的第一个聚会。 因着我的朋友有被邀请出席,我便和她一同参加这个聚会。神就在这一堂聚会里,超过我所求所想的祝福了我。

在去年的时候,我的朋友曾经和我分享过关于在新加坡CKRM的事工, 但是,我没想要去那里参加聚会。 在我还没去马六甲CKRM超自然事工训练学校之前, 感谢主的怜悯和恩典,祂向我显明我将会开始看见神迹奇事和一幅犹大狮子与羔羊的图案。神向我显明的,就在我来到马六甲 CKRM超自然事工训练学校时,这启示给成就了。 当牧师在示范圣灵的能力时,我看见了,惊讶地说不出话来。我也同时感到兴奋,也很想能亲自经历到圣灵的能力。

当保罗牧师邀请新来的朋友到前面被祷告时,我急着的想看看会有什么事情要发生在我身上。首先,保罗牧师祷告神的火降临在我身上。然后,他问我是否想要领受神的箭。我当然想要领受。他便从大约五米外的距离,向我射了三枝箭,我就被击倒在地上。

聚会结束后,当我们要离开时,保罗牧师再次为我们祷告得着圣灵的能力。他只是用他的手指从一个距离指向着我的手,我立刻被击倒在地上,先是喊叫然后便喜乐地笑。这太棒了。我从未看见或经厉过这些现象。我们便逗留下来,并且继续透过保罗牧师和他的团队,领受了一波又一波的恩膏。

我本身领受了犹大狮子吼叫的恩膏,属灵的酒,火球,先知启示性的酒,和其他等等的恩膏。有一个时刻,我问保罗牧师,“我真的能够在一堂聚会内,领受这么多的恩膏吗?他便回答我说,“在我们的神凡事都能!”这使到我们更加的渴慕和想要得着更多的祝福。

当我们的属灵恩赐被启动和得着了圣灵的能力之后,主便给我们机会去马来西亚的八打灵再也服侍和操练我们所领受的属灵恩赐。当圣灵降在我们身上时,在聚会中,祂会引导我们去做某些事情,如:弹属灵古筝,在恩膏下打鼓使到会众得释放,和邀请神的同在等等。在我一生中,我从未曾玩过这些乐器。

当我们回到新加坡之后,主给了我们任务去传递恩膏给一些姐妹,让她们得着圣灵的能力。这好极了!马太福音11:30“因为我的轭是容易的,我的担子是轻省的”也就成为了我瑞马的话语。我们都好渴慕,想要领受更多圣灵的能力。不久过后,我们乘着飞机到吉隆坡去参加保罗牧师和以斯帖牧师在禧福训练中心的教导以及在Portals of Glory祈祷院的聚会。在那里,我们再次见证了神的大能在当中运行。保罗牧师也邀请我们到新加坡的CKRM去。在那里,我们得到更多的祝福。 我心中真正充满了感恩。

确实, 神奖赏那些认真去寻求祂的人。祂是信实的,并且当我们踏出信心的脚步来信靠祂时,祂必定赐福于我们。

我将一切的荣耀归于我们的神!哈利路亚!

Anointing of the Lion of Judah's Roar & Jesus' Whip made me more sensitive to the move of God - Sharon / 犹大狮子吼叫的恩膏和耶稣的鞭子使到我对神的带领更加敏锐。

Email from Sharon

Well Pastor Paul, I missed your session during Chinese New Year time as I was away hometown and when I came back and heard of all the things that God did and what happened in Portals of Glory and also from Gina and also reading your blogspot and the various testimonies I was very eager to experience for myself for it is nothing like seeing and experience it for yourself.

When you finally agree to come to Portals of Glory on 15 April 2009, I came early from office and did not go back home in Subang as I did not want to be caught in the traffic jam and we started early and worship before the rest arrived.

When you called me for to be prayed for the anointing of the ‘Roar’ of the Lion of Judah, yes I was a bit sceptical at first as I have never done it before and yes I have seen the manifestations before.

When the anointing was released to me, I felt like something within my body and sometimes it is so hard to describe I just know something is different and it just makes me want to just let go and I could not control it. I have always been a back bencher and observe and that day I just let the Lord use me and it was my first experience.

I can’t believe myself roaring in front of people ...that is not me ...anyway....!!!! When you called me for the second time to be prayed again, I felt more comfortable and was able to receive more. Praise God!!!

Again the whip is very different, the fact that you don’t literally see the whip and when it is released, I felt so much power, fire, and I don’t know,,,very strong anointing, entirely different from the first and it was yes very very strong.

As a result, I am now even more sensitive to the move of God when I am in the presence of God and just wanting more of God..., spending more time in worship and the word.

Praise God and all glory to Jesus for what He has done!!!!

犹大狮子吼叫的恩膏和耶稣的鞭子使到我对神的带领更加敏锐。

Sharon 姐妹的电邮

保罗牧师,因着我回了家乡,很可惜的,我错过了在农历新年时的聚会。当我回来的时候,我听到好多神奇妙的作为,以及在Portals of Glory祈祷院所发生的一切事。除了Gina姐妹的分享,我也上网到你的部落格读了许多的见证。我好渴慕,很想自己也能亲身经历到神的能力。

当你答应在2009年四月十五号来Portals of Glory 祈祷院 时,为了避免遇到交通阻塞, 就提早从办公室离开到祈祷院去。在其他人还没到达之前,我们就开始在那儿敬拜。 我虽然曾经见过犹大狮子吼叫的彰显, 但是,当你要为我祷告领受犹大狮子吼叫的恩膏时,我起初有点怀疑,因为我从未吼叫过。当那恩膏浇灌 在我身上时,我觉得我身体里有一股力量(有时就是不知怎样用言语来形容,只知道在我体内跟平时是不一样的), 这股力量使到我无法控制,那感觉就是想要释放出来。

一直以来,我都是时时坐在后排观看。却在当天,我降服於神,让祂使用我。那就是我第一次的经历。我真不敢相信,自己会在众人面前那么的吼叫。无论如何,那可不是我。。。。当你再次为我祷告时,我感觉舒服多了,也能够更多的去领受。赞美神!

此外,耶稣的鞭子果然也很不同。虽然我的肉眼看不到鞭子,但是,当你用鞭子释放在我身上时,我感觉到极大的能力,很多的圣火,和很强的恩膏在我的身上。这与我第一次所经历的狮子吼叫恩膏,是完全不一样的,而且那恩膏是非常非常的强。

四月十五日的奇妙经厉,改变了我的属灵生命,现在我对于神的带领更加敏锐。当我在神的同在中,我只想要更多的得着祂,更多的敬拜祂,和在祂话语上花更多的时间。
赞美神!一切荣耀都归于祂!

Pastor Esther Chow -- Co-Founder of CKRM & my ministering partner / 以斯帖牧师 -- CKRM的共同创办人和我的事工伙伴

I would never imagine that being English educated and westernized, God would call me to serve in the Chinese speaking ministry. More shockingly so, to pair me with a very traditional, Chinese educated woman, who’s married with 2 adult children. It’s simply beyond human comprehension.

Though it’s neither logical nor easy to team up with someone who has very different lifestyle, views, educational and cultural background; God’s command surpasses all of these.

It is the Lord’s command to pair the two of us in the power & prophetic ministry, which are also the Lion and the Lamb ministry. Our mission is to empower the body of Christ, under anointing of Holy Spirit, to empower (1 Corinthians 12: 8-10), prepare and equip the body of Christ for their ministries, to break the power of darkness, and prepare for the Lord’s return.

A man of God wrote in his book, "Whatever He calls you to do, many a times His word to you will collide with the world's notion of logic and good sense. Other people will tell you that it’s foolish and not feasible. Even you will say that it’s illogical. But if you believe you heard God’s voice and very certain that it’s from Him, and then does what He tells you to do. For what He wants to bless you is beyond measure."

The Bible is full of examples of people who were willing to follow God’s word instead of logic and were blessed beyond measure because of it.

In early 2006, on several occasions, the Lord revealed and ordered us to pair as ministering partners. In the beginning, Ps Esther struggled to obey God’s command, until the Lord used someone to give her a stern warning that she would lose the calling if she was reluctant to obey His command.

In end 2003 & beginning of 2005, Ps Esther and I were led by the Lord to Singapore Christian Prayer House (SCPH) for the final preparation. In 2007, CKRM was set up.

Following are links to the some articles, on how the Lord called us to our ministry, and our willingness to obey God’s command and suffer for His name:

The Season for me to be at Singapore Christian Prayer House

在新加坡祈祷院的日子公义和冠冕 (Crown & Righteousness)

During the period of our struggle to obey His voice, God prompted me to read 1 Samuel 15. To the people of the world, the command to put to death women, children & infants is a great sin. In the present world, it would be considered genocide & madness to kill innocent people. However, it was not a sin when the Lord commanded Saul to do it. Disobedience to God's voice is a sin. Disobedience is rebellion.

And in 1 Samuel 15:22-23, "Does the LORD delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices as much as in obeying the voice of the LORD? To obey is better than sacrifice, and to heed is better than the fat of rams. For rebellion is like the sin of divination, and arrogance likes the evil of idolatry. Because you have rejected the word of the LORD, he has rejected you as king."

When Saul did not obey God’s command fully, the anointing left Saul, and he lost his calling. This is the consequences for not obeying God’s command.

Though the Spirit of God left him, Saul still remained as king. Today, there are many pastors and ministers who are like Saul. Because of their disobedience, the glory of God has left them, without them knowing. Some of the ministries remain stagnant while some have been dismantled.

Ps Esther is called to be my ministering partner and translator. I am called to move in power, while she moves in the prophetic. When both of us are ministering from the pulpit, we will be listening to the voice of God to discern what He wants us to do. Very often, the Lord would give me one part of the revelation while the other part to Ps Esther.

As it is written in Isaiah 29:13-14 the Lord says, "These people come near to me with their mouth and honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. Their worship of me is made up only of rules taught by men. Therefore once more I will astound these people with wonder upon wonder; the wisdom of the wise will perish, the intelligence of the intelligent will vanish."

April 16, 2009 was the 2nd Anniversary of CKRM Christian Centre Ltd, Singapore. It is just amazing and beyond human understanding how just a Saturday Power Ministry could grow so rapidly to include 3 Sundays Church Services in such a short period. Besides the ministry being blessed with very healthy & strong cash reserve, the Lord has led many co-workers to CKRM. The co-workers are being raised up in CKRM and they have been blessed with their spiritual life revived drawing them closer to God and grow to be very sensitive to the leading of the Holy Spirit.

Our oldest co-worker is a 78 years old woman. She came in a wheelchair and now without having the need of a wheelchair, she is now serving CKRM Church as an usher. Our youngest co-worker is an 8 years old girl. She works on the computer during worship and despite working on the computer, she would also be singing with her hands moving & responding to the worship song.

Now that CKRM is in Malacca, we also see God’s hand at work (can view many awesome testimonies posted in http://www.ckrm.org/. )At this point, I recalled there was a vibrant ministry. However, the pastor went against God’s decision and using the time to criticize CKRM. Within 1-2 years, I witnessed the ministry being dismantled.

We have all sinned and fall short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23). Paul taught in Philippians 2:12, "we should continue to work out for our own salvation with fear & trembling." If we seriously take Paul's teaching and work out for our own salvation with fear & trembling, we would be so busy repenting that we would not have really the time to be critical or judging others.

As it is written, if the Spirit of the Lord rest on a person with Spirit of wisdom, understanding, counsel, power, knowledge, and the fear of the Lord, he will not judge by what he sees with his eyes, or decide by what he hears with his ears" (Isaiah 11:2-3).

It is by His grace that we can be obedient and do the will of the Father. All glory and praise belongs to Him, and peace and joy to His beloved children! Amen!

Translation into Mandarin

我从没有想过以我这个受英文教育,生活完全西方化的人。神会呼召我进入华文华语的事奉,更糟糕的是命令我与一位非常保守受华文教育,而且是有家庭,有已长大的孩子的姐妹配搭。对我来说真是不可思议 而难以接受。

虽然有点不合逻辑,因为不同的教育背景,文化差异,不同的生活方式,不同的思想观念,是很难一起服侍,但神的命令胜於一切。

以斯帖牧师与我的配搭是神赐於我们的命令,以行走在能力与启示的事奉。这是狮子与羔羊的事工。我们的使命是去得着主内肢体,在圣灵的恩膏下,开启神给予他们的属灵恩赐 (歌林多前书 12:8-10),找到自己在基督身子的位置,好装备成为神家中贵重的器皿,末日的精兵,去拆毁邪恶的势力,得着仇敌的城门,预备主的再来!

一位神的仆人在他的书这样写:每当神叫你做事时,神的话,神做事的方式,很多时候与世俗的方式是完全不一样的,甚至可说有时是违背世俗的方法。你旁边的人也会告诉你这是愚蠢,不可行的,你自己也会说这是不合逻辑,不对的。但若你有信心听神的声音,肯定是从神而来,那就要顺服祂的指示行,祂所要给你的祝福将是超乎你所求所想的。

在2006初,神多次赐下启示,命令我们要一齐配搭服侍。这不合逻辑的配搭,给以斯帖牧师经厉长时间的挣扎,最后是神通过第三者给她很严厉的警告,在神的恩典时间内,再不顺服她就要失去神对她生命的呼召,才让她惧怕而乖乖的顺服。

神在2003年底和2005年初,奇妙的各别把我们引领来到新加坡基督徒祷告院,做最后的装备。在2007 年 CKRM 正式成立。以下两篇见证可提供一点神如何呼召我们进入这事工和我们因为顺服神的命令而走过的风雨路 。

The Season for me to be at Singapore Christian Prayer House

在新加坡祈祷院的日子

公义和冠冕 (Crown & Righteousness)

在那段与神挣扎着要如何顺服的日子,神感动我 去读撒母耳记上 15章。对世人而言,把无辜的妇女,小孩,婴孩都杀了,这命令绝对是错误的,是愚蠢,是疯狂的,是天大的罪过。以现在的眼光来说,这叫着种族灭绝,这样的行为可说是犯下涛天大罪 ,是要被判死刑的。但对神而言,这是他给扫罗的命令 ,这样就不是罪了。相反的扫罗因为没有完全顺服尊行神的命令而得罪了神。

撒母耳记上 15:22-23 耶和华喜悦燔祭和平安祭,如喜悦人听从他的话呢?听命胜于献祭,顺从胜于公羊的脂油。悖逆的罪与行邪术的罪相等。顽梗的罪与拜虚神拜偶像相同。你既厌弃耶和华的命令,耶和华也厌弃你做王。

因为扫罗的不顺服,没有尊行神给他的命令,最后神的灵离开他,也废了他做王。这就是不顺服神的命令的结果。

虽然神的灵已离开扫罗,但当时扫罗还是坐在王位上。今天很多在职场上的牧师领袖也一样,因为不顺服 而得罪了神,神的荣耀已离开了 ,他们还不知道。这可从他们的事工的停顿不前,甚直被神拆除就可看到,但事实是他们本身还不知道。

神呼召以斯帖牧师与我配搭,呼召她做我的事工伙伴和翻译员。神给我的呼召是能力性的事奉,神给她的呼召是启示性的事奉。每当我们一起站在讲台上服侍时,我们在领听圣灵的指示,很多时候,神常常把一部份的启示给我,另一部份切给了以斯帖牧师。

以赛亚书 29:13-14 因为这白姓亲近我,用嘴唇尊近我,心切远离我。他们尊敬我,不过是领受人的吩咐。所以我在这白姓中,要行奇妙的事,就是奇妙又奇妙的事,他们知慧人的知慧必然消灭,聪明人的聪明必然隐藏。以赛亚书 55:8 我的意念非同你们的意念,我的道路非同你们的道路。

16.04.2009 是CKRM 二周年记念, 我为神在CKRM 的工作而惊叹,从一个几个人的祷告小组在短时间发展到有三堂主日崇拜。这除了神,有谁能做呢? 神除了祝福 CKRM 有很健康的资金,更带领很多同工来到 。很多原本没有家,被神更新了的弟兄姐妹,有些神感动他们留下来服侍。

同工的年龄从最小的八岁到最大的七十八岁。这位老姐妹两年前是坐着轮椅来,主医治了她,现在不但健康有力量,而且服侍主招待新来的朋友。那小妹妹在崇拜时,是用电脑来服侍,自己更是一面唱,一面以另一只手跟着诗歌摆动,真的是三管齐下,其乐无比,看她非常的享受。感谢主!

现在 CKRM 已经进军马六甲,也看到神的手在马六甲做工(可上网享受神如何祝福弟兄姐妹。http://www.ckrm.org/ )写到这里让我想起,有一个原本很有活力的事工,后因牧者不顺服神的带领,违背神的心意,很可惜把时间用在批评论断 CKRM 我看到在这一两年内很快的下降,最后被神拆除。

罗马书 3:23 世人都犯了罪亏欠了神的荣耀。保罗在菲立比书 2:12 教导我们要为自己的救恩恐惧战兢,以持守神给你的救恩。若是受教的,真正爱主的,那你就不会让仇敌来使用你,去损伤别人,诽谤别人。所做的就是在拆毁神的工作。最后自己的事工被拆除。

以赛亚书 11:2-3 若我们有主耶和华的七个灵 :耶和华的灵住在身上,智慧的灵,聪明的灵,谋略的灵,能力的灵,知识的 灵,和敬畏耶和华的灵。那我们就可以审判不凭眼见,断是非也不凭耳闻。

总的来说,是靠神的恩典,我们才能做个顺服受教的儿女,行祂的旨意。
愿一切荣耀赞美都归於我们至爱至高的神,平安喜乐归於祂所爱所宝的儿女!啊们!

God told me to come to CKRM Malacca in a dream - Sis Georginia 神用异梦引领我去马六甲的CKRM

The Lord spoke to me in a dream. In the dream, I saw that I was running on a street with lamp posts hanging with banners on my right. Suddenly a bus drove passed me and so close enough to knock me. However, the Lord protected me from this nasty accident.

When the bus stopped in front of me, I saw a very big word “God.”

Then, my Church cell group member, Bro Thomas sent me a text message, inviting me to come to CKRM Malacca as he had received a confirmation that the Lord wanted me to come.

Thomas, his wife and I left Klang for Malacca on 6th April 2009. On the way to CKRM Leadership Training Centre, Malacca, there were so many banners hanging on the lamp posts. When the vehicle stopped at the traffic light junction, I saw a Toyota car next to our vehicle, with the back screen pasted with a sticker with the word “God.” I then told Thomas that this was the scene I saw in my dream.

On arrival at CKRM Malacca, I excitedly shared the dream with Pastor Paul. Pastor Paul then asked me to open my heart to the Lord. Suddenly the power of God came upon me and I trembled and shake uncontrollably.

It was not the end. During ministry time, the power of God came upon me so strongly which I have never in my own life experienced such strong anointing before. The fire of God came upon me and activated the ‘Roar’ of the Lion of Judah and I was also manifesting soaring like an eagle. Both the pastors of CKRM told me that the Lord is increasing the gift of prophecy in my life. Then I began to minister to a sister setting her free from certain bondages under the anointing of the ‘Roar’ of the Lion of Judah (Amos 3:8, Revelation 10:3).

Praise the Lord for His love & grace that He has chosen me to come to CKRM to be empowered for ministry. Surely the Sovereign Lord does nothing without revealing His plan to his servants the prophets (Amos 3:7). Praise the Lord. Surely He is good (Psalm 73:1). Amen! I am thoroughly amazed by His love to show me precisely what is to take place.

I am encouraged by His word, “I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you and watch over you” (Psalm 32:8). Amen!

神用异梦引领我去马六甲的CKRM - Sis Georginia

感谢主!祂在梦里向我说话。在梦中, 我看到自己不停的奔跑在一条街上,在我右手旁的路灯都挂着旗。突然, 一辆巴士很靠近地驶过我, 差一点把我撞倒。但是主保护了我, 意外没有发生。当巴士停在我面前时, 我看见一个很大的”神”字。接着, 我接到一位教会小组的组员, Thomas弟兄的电话信息, 邀请我去马六甲的CKRM。他说他已向神求证,是神的心意主要我去。

Thomas弟兄与妻子还有我三个人,在二零零九年四月六日从Klang前往马六甲。在途中, 我看到在我的右手旁,有许多旗挂在路灯上。当汽车停在交通灯路口时, 我看见一辆Toyota的汽车停在我们的车旁, 车后的镜子贴着“God” 。我在这时跟Thomas弟兄说这就是我在梦里见到的景象一模一样。

抵达马六甲CKRM后, 我兴奋地与Pastor Paul分享我的异梦。Pastor Paul接着叫我向神敞开我的心。忽然, 神的大能降在我身上, 使我身体不停战抖与震动

在聚会时, 神的大能几次大大地降在我身上。我这一生从没经历过那么强的恩膏。神的圣火降在我身上,启动了犹大狮子的吼叫(阿摩司书3:8)。同时, 我也彰显如老鹰飞翔。CKRM的两位牧师告诉我,主在增加我启事的恩膏。接着, 我在恩膏下使用犹大狮子的吼叫服侍一位姐妹, 使她从许多属灵的捆绑中得释放。
赞美主的大爱和恩典, 拣选我,带领我来到CKRM来领受恩膏,刚强我的灵,装备我,好让我有能力来事奉祂。

主 耶 和 华 若 不 将 奥 秘 指 示 他 的 仆 人 ─ 众 先 知 , 就 一 无 所 行 (阿 摩 司 書 3:7)。神 实 在 恩 待 以 色 列 那 些 清 心 的 人 (詩 篇 73:1)!我 要 教 导 你 , 指 示 你 当 行 的 路 ; 我 要 定 睛 在 你 身 上 劝 戒 你 (詩 篇 32:8)。阿门!

Mary had a Mighty Lamb - My walk with Jesus at CKRM (With Mandarin Translation)

Praise the Lord! Indeed He is a Great God that cares so much for those who are willing to allow Him carries their pains and sorrows!

After reading Sis Penny’s testimonial, I just couldn't control my tears. I think other than Brother Thomas; there are two more persons that are most joyful - Ps Paul and Ps Esther.

On 15 March, before we left Malacca, I was the last who walked out of CKRM. I heard Ps Esther broke into tears. I knew she not only missed us but also her family members especially her daughter (Luke 14: 25-27).

Ps Esther once shared with me, seeing brothers and sisters' life being transformed and set free by God are the strength that keep her moving forward. Each time when she sees how brothers and sisters are blessed by God, all persecutions, pains and humiliation that she has gone through all this while she considered that worth it!

When I was brought to CKRM about 2 years ago, I was almost spiritually dead. It was through the ministry, the presence of God, the touch of the Holy Spirit, the encouragement of the prophetic words that revived my spirit and change me to the “Mary” today. Mary was the new name God gave me on 24 Dec 2007. At the beginning, I thought the name was quite old fashion but now it is precious to me, as this name opened up a new chapter in my life……

I still remembered at the early days in CKRM, I will try to avoid talking to Ps Esther and Ps Paul because I was told that “they can see through your heart”, and at that time, my heart was full of rubbish!

I thank God that by His grace and through Ps Paul who constantly called down the fire of the Holy Spirit, the rubbish in me has became lesser and lesser (Matthew 3:11). It was only after I came to CKRM then I realized how a true Christian should live their life.

Weaknesses and behavior that I once thought were not a big problem; I subsequently realized those were unpleasing to God. The bible says in Matthew 6:24, no one can serve two masters. A true Christian is one that fully submits to God’s leading. The bible also says that those who do not do the will of God are actually doing the will of devil. There is no such thing as in between and if one chose to do the will for devil, then he/she is considered as child of devil. In Rom 8:7, Apostle Paul said that the sinful mind is hostile to God. As what Ps Paul always shares, the most horrible thing in a Christian life is to make God your enemy.

It was during one of my casual fellowship with Joshua that he said, since Ps Paul and Ps Esther “can see through our hearts”, the best solution is to be ourselves and do not pretend BUT, have a humble, teachable and obedient heart to allow Holy Spirit to work in you.

Previously, when there were problems or any unpleasant incidents, my first reaction was to find excuse to defend myself. Praise God that now I will seek The Lord and pray for Holy Spirit to reveal my mistakes. Bondages and bad habits that I tried very hard to “shake off” are no longer seemed impossible when pray with authority and using the spiritual weapons imparted by The Lord through Ps Paul. The bible verses that were quoted during the Saturday Power Ministry also played an important part in changing my life and characters. Live a repentance life and fear of The Lord are the keys to experience the awesome power of God.

At my ex-church, many times I was asked by one of the leaders on my gifting from God. At those days, I really do not know how to answer him. Praise Lord I now not only know it for myself but for my husband and daughters. I was also taught if I felt the peace in my heart after prayers, those were considered as “green light” from God to go ahead with what I prayed for.

However, most of the time these are not true because we know our desire and spirit are very closed and difficult to differentiate. As Christian, we all know that only those who do the wills of Father will enter the Kingdom of God. In order to do the wills of Father, one must be sensitive to the leading of the Holy Spirit and be able to hear from Him. After soaking in God’s presence for a period of time and being baptized in the Holy Fire, I learn to hear from the Spirit and it is true that Jesus said, “My sheep hears My voice”.

Another wonderful thing is in CKRM, many brothers and sisters are very sensitive in their spirit and constantly communicate with God. They are of great help that I could seek confirmation while learning to hear from God. In CKRM, there is no hidden agenda as God is in full control.

I am so blessed to witness how The Lord transformed the life of Bro Mark, Bro Caleb, Sis HuiLian, my beloved brother- Joshua, and the one that I once considered terrible Christian, stamped on her feet, spoke some awful words and walked away just because you do not agree with her view on certain issue – lovely Sis Faith now.

With a grateful heart, I thank God for His Grace in leading me to CKRM and allowing me to grow here. It is the presence and anointing of God that draw the heart of His people back to Him. The experience I have with the Holy Spirit here, stirred the hunger in my heart for more because whatever that I know now is just very little and insignificant.

Lord, help me to know You in a deeper dimension. Strengthen me and continue to mould me according to Your wills so that I could be used for Your Kingdom. Lord, lead more people who are hurt, who love You and those that You have chosen to be equipped by You to the Promised Land. I pray that more and more workers will be raised up and willing to carry the cross for Jesus to help shine the lights to this hopeless world.

I also thank Lord for Ps Paul and Ps Esther who are willing to carry the cross and paid the price for Mary. There is really no amount of words that Mary could put forward to show my appreciation. I pray that wherever you go and whatever you do, the presence of God is with you all the time! Amen!

赞美主!祂确实是一位极伟大的神,切切地看顾那些愿意让祂来背负痛苦哀伤的人。
在读了Penny姐妹的见证后,我不由自主地流下眼泪,久久不能平息。我想除了Thomas 弟兄以外,还有两位最喜乐和安慰的人- 就是Paul牧师和Esther牧师。

前个星期在我们离开马六甲之前,我是最后一个走出CKRM会所的。我听到Esther牧师那按捺不住的哭声。我晓得她不单单想念我们同时更想念她的家人,尤其是她的女儿(路加14: 25-27) 。若换成是我,要我放下孩子,只身离乡背井,主啊,此时此刻我真的不知道能否做得到。
还记得Esther牧师曾经与我分享过,看到弟兄姐妹们生命得以翻转并被神释放,就是那使她持守神在她生命中的呼招,继续往前走的力量。每一次当她看到弟兄姐妹们如何被神祝福时,心里就会感到非常地安慰。这些日子所走过的辛酸路,所经历的一切逼迫,痛苦和羞辱,她都看为值得!

大约两年前,我是在灵命已几乎枯干死去的时候被带到CKRM。乃是神的恩典,让我经过被服侍,圣灵的触摸及不断地经历到神的同在和预言性的鼓励话语,复兴了我的灵并改变我成为今日的“马丽亚”。“马丽亚”是神在2007年12月24日赐与我的新名。起初,我想这名有点老土,但现今对我来言是极为宝贝,因这名启开了我生命中一个新的旅程碑 。。。

我还记得早期在CKRM的日子,我尽其所能避免与Paul牧师和Esther 牧师交谈因我被告知“他们可看透你的心”,在那时的我心中确实充满了垃圾!

我感谢神因着祂的恩典和通过Paul牧师持续不断地唤下圣火,那在我里面的垃圾逐渐减少(马太 3:11)。我乃是来了CKRM之后才晓得一位名符其实的信徒该如何活出于救恩相称的生命。曾经被我视为极为不重要的软弱和行为;我逐渐明白那是不讨神喜悦的。圣经在马太福音6:24 说:一个人不能事奉两个主。一个真正的基督徒应是拥有一颗完全降服于神带领的心。 圣经也说那些不顺服神旨意而跟从世界的不但不配作祂的门徒,反而是悖逆之子走向灭亡!罗马书8:7如此说, 体 贴 肉 体 的 就 是 与 神 为 仇。就如Paul牧师经常所分享的在信徒的生命里最为可怕的是与神为敌。

在一次与约书亚交谈时,他说既然Paul牧师和Esther 牧师“可看透我们的心”,最好的方法就是坦然地做回自己,无需隐瞒。让我们的软弱全然显露出来。只要我们带着谦卑,受教和顺服的心必能被神改变。的确,这本来就是我们来到CKRM的目的之一:“做个讨神喜悦的孩子”!

在以往,每当有问题或任何不愉快的事件发生时,我的第一反应是找理由来自我辩护。感谢主,现今的我会以寻求主和祷告来让圣灵显明我的过犯。当我带着权柄和使用主通过Paul牧师所传递的属灵武器来祷告时,一切以往我用尽全力都无法摆脱的捆绑和坏习惯都不再是看来遥不可及了。星期六的全能事工里所引用的经文都大有能力,这些“瑞玛(Rhema)”在我生命与性格的朔造中扮演着重要的角色。也使我明白到过着警醒悔改和敬畏神的生活,是经历神大能最主要的关键。

在前教会,其中一位领袖屡次问我有关神赐于我的恩赐。在当时,我确实不晓得如何回答,现今的我不但知晓自己的恩赐,也包括丈夫与女儿们的在内。我也被教导倘若你感觉在祷告后有平安,这些是被视为从神而来的“绿灯”就可进行你所祷告的事项。然而,很多时候这些并不属实, 因往往我们的欲望(魂)和灵非常相近和难以分辨。身为基督徒,我们都知晓惟有那些按着父旨意行的才能进入神的国度。要行出父旨意,个人必需敏锐于圣灵的带领和能够分辨从神而来的声音。在神的同在里浸泡了一段时期并不断被圣火洁净后,我开始学习听从圣灵的声音。主说:“我的羊认得我的声音”是确实的。CKRM是神兴起的一个特别事工。在这里,许多的弟兄姐妹们都能够从主那儿领受到启 示。他们在我学习听从主的过程中给予极大的帮助因可向他们寻求印证。在CKRM,任何隐藏的不良动机都会被揭开因为是神在掌权。

我很蒙福能够见证主如何翻转Mark弟兄,Caleb弟兄,HuiLian姐妹,我亲爱的弟弟-Joshua和那位我曾经认为极度糟透的基督徒,跺脚,吐出些难堪的话而随之离去只因你不认同她在某些课题的“远见”-(现今可爱的 Faith 姐妹)的生命。

带着一颗感恩的心,我感谢神因着祂的恩典带领我来到CKRM并允许我在此成长。是神的同在与恩膏吸引祂的子民回归于祂。这些日子在CKRM所经历的,使我内心更渴慕圣灵的同在。因我现在所知的只是少之又少和微不足道。

主啊,帮助我能更深入的来认识祢。刚强我和按着祢的旨意继续塑造我,好让我能够被祢的国度使用。主啊,求带领更多受伤的人,爱祢的人和那些被祢所揀选要装备的到这应许之地。但愿神透过CKRM兴起更多的工人为这邪恶和败坏的世代点燃盼望,加添色彩。

我也要感谢主因着Paul牧师和Esther牧师的摆上和持守,才有CKRM这圣所让弟兄姐妹们来疗伤或被装备成神卑微的器皿。谢谢您们为马利亚背上十字架和付上了代价。确实非笔墨所能形容马利亚心中所要表达的那一份感激。我祷告无论您们到何处和做什么,神的同在无时无刻伴随着您们!啊门!


My First Trip to CKRM Malacca - 我的母亲得救了 Christina Lee

Praise God, in the drive to CKRM Malacca with my mother and bro Benjamin & wife last Saturday 21 March, I prayed softly that we would come back transformed. My belly responded with a loud ‘huh !’. I felt the anointing Presence of God and again my belly stirred and several times, it kept making ‘huh!’ sound. I knew the Lord had something in store for us because HE often expresses HIMSELF through stirrings in my belly, sometimes through that sound. Brother Benjamin confirmed he felt the Presence of God.

Praise God we had a good time and I thank the Lord for the gifts impartation and the warmth and love at CKRM. When I came home, I recorded all the gifts that I had received and asked the Lord if I had omitted anything. The Lord added two more to what I had received :- It was 2.30 a.m. Sunday 22 March and I saw vision of myself drenched in a fountain of rain, soaked with rain, rain, rain. I asked what gift it was and He, full of humour revealed it to me in Hokkien. The next gift was sharpness in prophetic utterance. I opened my hands to receive both.

My mother’s attendance at the meeting was itself a miracle. She often declines when I want to take her to church or healing meetings and only attends church with me once in a while. She is on Alzheimer medication and often loses her things and has difficulty remembering. There was much hindrance even before we came as she couldn’t find her key to her luggage bag which she had packed in case we needed to stay the night, and we were held back and she even suggested she not go. But GOD IS GOOD, despite all she came along. There were other issues along the journey, but GOD made the way.

My mother has said the sinner’s prayer a few times but considered Jesus only as one of the many gods. She refused to give up praying to kuan yin and believed in feng shui and the occultic.

Miraculously the key to my mother’s luggage bag that she lost was found after we came back. She has lost handphone, purse, monies, keys, etc. which were not found. There is a spiritual battle in the house where we stay.

On Sunday 22 March (night after our return from CKRM), my mother was fearful and when I prayed for her, I felt she was ready and she repeated after me in renouncing kuan yin and idols and received Jesus as her Lord and Saviour. Though I don’t quite know how to use it, by faith I exercised the 7 arrows, shooting in the direction of my brother’s room which door, directly faces my mother’s door. He is steeped in Tibetan Buddhism and his room is an altar to the idol, he chants, uses rosary and wields some equipment which looks like stirring in the spiritual environment. I have sometimes heard eerie sounds coming from his room when I go to the toilet which is back to back with his toilet. My brother is owner of the house where we stay.

Praise God, my mother allowed for me to remove all the occultic and idolatry items in her room. That was around midnight. Suddenly she lost the key to the top drawer of her cabinet, but GOD is awesome. Strengthened in faith by our experience at CKRM, I prayed for the key to return and somehow my mother found it back. Inside were buddhist books and materials, rosary, occultic mirror from a temple near the house, etc. I prayed over and destroyed the items by fire and anointed her room. Praise God, her room is now cleared of the feng shui items, including crystals, buddha pendant and Tibetan buddhist cardboard altar with the statue image.

I thank God for CKRM Ministry, the servant heart, humility, warmth and love of HIS Anointed, Pastors Paul Ang and Esther, the sharing and impartation from Ps Paul Ang. and the prayers and sharing received by my mother from Mr Wong and Ps Esther. This is a supernatural ministry which sets captives free and will propel HIS KINGDOM for the end time harvest. May God continue to multiply the fruit of their labour and prosper them in HIS Kingdom.

我的母亲得救了

赞美主,上个星期六,三月二十一日,我和母亲还有Benjamin弟兄与他的妻子前往马六甲超自然事工训练学校。在驾驶途中, 我轻声祷告我们的生命将被翻转。当时我的肚子大声回应‘huh !’. 我感觉到神的同在而我的肚子再次被搅动, 它一直发出‘huh!’的声响。我知道神有预备东西给我们因为他时常搅动我的肚子来表达自己。同时, 靠着那个声响, Benjamin 弟兄证实他感觉到神的同在。

赞美主, 我们度过了美好的时光。我要感谢主的恩典和CKRM对我们的热诚与爱护。我回到家后,记录了所有领受的恩赐并且问神我有没有漏掉了什么。神启示我多加两个恩赐。在三月二十二日, 星期天凌晨两点三十分, 在异象里, 我看见自己湿淋淋的在喷泉里, 浸湿在雨水里。我问神哪是什么恩赐而他满怀幽默地以福建语向我显明。下一个恩赐是预言启示表达更敏锐。我张开我的手领受那两个恩赐。

我母亲出席聚会已经是个奇迹。我邀请她去教会或医治布道会,.她都时常拒绝,只偶而陪我一同出席。她正在服用Alzheimer(阿尔茨海默氏病)的药物并且经常遗失东西和难以记得事物。这次来马六甲CKRM之前也受到阻拦,因为她找不到她行李箱的钥匙(以免需要在那过夜)。我们因此被耽误而她甚至建议自己干脆就不去了。但是神是美好的,尽管如此,她还是来了。途中有其他的事件但神帮我们开路。

虽然我母亲已经做了悔改祷告好几次,但耶稣对她来说,只是那么多神当中的其中一个。她拒绝舍弃敬拜观音而且相信风水和巫术。我母亲遗失的行李箱钥匙奇迹地在我们回来之后被找到。她遗失过手机, 钱包, 钥匙等等。这些东西都没被找回。我们住的屋子有属灵的争战。

在三月二十二日,星期天(我们从CKRM 回家后的晚上),我母亲感到惧怕而当我为她祷告时,我觉得她心里已准备好了。她跟着我祷告舍弃拜观音和其他的假神,接受耶稣成为她个人的救主。我虽然不知道如何使用属灵的箭,但依然凭着信心对着我母亲的房间对面的房间(我哥哥弟弟的房间)射了七只属灵的箭。我的兄弟执着于西藏佛法,房间里有偶像的神台。他有用念珠念经和使用一些佛教的信物,好象在属灵界里做些什么。我有时上洗手间时会听见他的房里传出阴森可怕的声音。我的兄弟是我们家的屋主。

赞美主,我母亲准许我移掉在她房里的巫术和拜偶像的物品。那时候大概是凌晨十二点。突然她遗失了她橱柜抽屉的钥匙但神是神奇的。凭着在CKRM被增强的信心,我祷告钥匙回归而我母亲总算找回了钥匙。抽屉里有佛教的书本,资料,念珠,家附近庙的巫术镜等等物品。我为那些物品祷告后就用火把它们都烧毁,然后膏她的房间。赞美主,她的房间已经清除了风水的物件,其中有水晶,佛牌,带有西藏偶像画象的纸皮神台。

我为CKRM 的事工,为祂所他恩膏的Pastor Paul Ang和Pastor Esther,他们的谦卑,仆人的心态,热诚和对主的爱来感谢主。为Pastor Paul 的分享和传受恩赐与Brother Wong 和Pastor Esther 给予我母亲的祷告和分享献上我的感谢。这是一个能释放俘虏,为末日收割桩家,推动神国度的超自然事工。愿主继续增加他们辛劳的成果,并且让他们在神的国度里兴盛。阿们!

My wife’s testimony after second visit to CKRM, Malacca - Bro Thomas (With Mandarin Translation)

This is my wife’s testimony after second visit to Power Ministry, CKRM’s School of Supernatural Malacca. She was suffering from depression since June, last year. However, there is a purpose & season throughout the journey of life so that we may become vessel that He want us to be and used for His glory! Being spirit-filled Christian doesn’t means that we will be free from every temptation and tribulation in our life, however, knowing that we have a Almighty God who watch over us and we can surrender everything to Him and claim his promises in our life. Forgiveness is everyday, healing is everyday! Here is her testimony.

This God–his way is perfect; the word of the LORD proves true; he is a shield for all those who take refuge in him. (Psalm 18:30 ESV)

Praise the Lord! Truly our heavenly father is faithful and full of love. The second visit to Power Service, CKRM’s School of Supernatural Ministry in Malacca is truly trip worthy to travel at least two hours all the way from my place of stay in Klang, Selangor. God deeply touched me through the words spoken by Ps. Esther when she ministered to me. I felt my burden was lifted up and felt more relief. When Ps. Paul given me the spiritual wine from heaven, I felt the heat and healing taking place in my body.

When I reached home, while I’m dancing and singing to worship God (Ps. Esther prophesied and directed me to dance and sing along with songs playing by machine in order to build up the inner man and for healing), in the midst of worshipping God, suddenly I felt the urgency to ask my husband to pray over me as I experienced the dizziness while I spinned. My husband prayed and exercised The Thunder anointing over me. I was slained under the powerful anointing.
While I’m lying on the floor, this is my first time I felt the heavy weight falling down and clothed my whole body from above, I could not move my body for about 15 minutes and I felt healing took place. Later, I shared my experience with my husband, he said that was the ‘kavod’ (Hebrew word for GLORY) means the weightiness and heaviness of His Presence!

I felt very blessed and excited because God is very good to me! All the Glory to God! Hallelujah!

这是我的妻子第二次参加了马六甲超自然事工训练学校聚会后的见证。她在二零零八年六月患了忧郁症。但是人生的旅途是没有一帆风顺的,有不同的季节和意义,好让我们被神塑造成合祂使用的器皿,能荣耀祂的名! 虽然已是一个被圣灵充满的基督徒,这不表示我们的人生就没有诱惑或苦难, 而是知道我们有个全能的神看守着我们,只要我们能够降服于祂,得着祂的应许。天天得赦免, 天天得医治! 以下是她的见证:

至 於 神 , 他 的 道 是完 全 的 ; 耶 和 华 的 话 是 炼 净 的 。 凡 投 靠 他 的 , 他 便 作 他 们 的 盾 牌 。(诗 篇 18:30)

赞美主! 我们的天父是信实和满有怜悯的。我们花了最少两个小时从我居住的 Klang, Selangor到马六甲超自然事工学校那里。但这一切的辛苦都是值得的。神借着Ps.Esther 对我说话,所讲的话语深深地触摸我。我觉得我的负荷被举起并感到安慰。过后当Ps.Paul 给我圣灵的酒时(约翰福音2:9), 我感觉到热能和医治在我体内运行。

抵达家后, 正当我在为主跳舞赞美祂的时候 (Ps.Esther 发预言指引我跟着播音机里的歌曲唱,以刚强我的灵人和得着医治), 我突然觉的我须要赶紧叫我的丈夫为我祷告,因我旋转时感到头晕。我的丈夫为我祷告并且使用如打雷闪电的恩膏 (哈巴谷书3:4)。我被圣灵恩膏所释放出的能力击倒在地上。

当我躺在地上时, 我有身以来第一次体验到无形的重量从上面降到我身上。接下来的十五分钟,我动弹不得也同时觉得身体正被医治。后来, 我与丈夫分享我的经历, 他说那是 ‘kavod’ (在希伯来语是荣耀) 意思是祂同在的重量!

我感到非常的蒙福与激动因为神对我是那么美好!愿将一切荣耀归给神! Hallelujah!

二零零九年三月二十二日


马六甲超自然事工训练学校正式开始 (With English Translation)

若不是耶和华建造房户,建造的人就枉然劳力。若不是耶和华看守城池,看守的人就枉然警醒 (诗篇127:1)。

蒙主的恩典,马六甲超自然事工训练学校在二零零九年三月十四日正式投入服务,开始了第一次的权能事奉。CKRM新加坡的同工们也特地赶来马六甲支持。感谢主, 特会在下午三点正顺利开始, CKRM也正式跨入一个新的领域。

进军马六甲,成立超自然事工训练学校,是主托负与 CKRM 的使命 。把神的能力带回祂的教会, 复兴祂的教会。。以赛亚书61:1: “主耶和华的灵在我身上,因为耶和华用膏膏了我,叫我传好信息给谦卑的人;差遣我医好伤心的人,报告被掳的得释放,被囚的出牢。。。。。。。。。。

马六甲超自然事工训练学校的目标是:装备主内肢体在圣灵的恩膏下,成为神家中贵重的器皿。此事工是为那些心灵渴慕主,追求主,愿意把自己分别为圣,过圣洁生活被主使用的基督徒所预备, 在圣灵亲自降临下 (使徒行传1:8) 能启动神所给祂儿女的属灵恩赐。(哥林多前书12:8-10)圣灵的彰显会挑旺人的信心,把人起初的爱心回转归向主耶稣。这些被神装备好的基督徒,将能带着神的能力为主做见证(使徒行传1:8)并要在外邦人和君王并以色列人面前,宣扬神的名(使徒行传9:15-16)。靠着圣灵和祂的恩赐, 他们要活出马可福音16:17-18的应许,就是信的人必有神迹奇事随着他们,就是奉我的名赶鬼,说新方言,手能拿蛇,若喝了什么毒物,也必不受害,手按病人,病人就好了。啊门 !!!

当日, 牧师们在圣所里做了许多示范, 展示圣灵的大能和祂恩赐的运行。在圣灵的恩膏下, 一名十七岁的青年展现了犹大狮子的吼叫(阿摩司书3:8)。保罗牧师也按手在一名只有七岁大的小女孩, 膏她, 并叫她去祝福一位在会众里的姐妹。可爱的小女孩跑向那位姐妹, 轻轻把自己的手放在那位姐妹的手上。不到一会儿, 那位姐妹的手开始如老鹰飞翔。这位小妹妹也祝福了一位从吉隆坡特地赶来参加特会的基督徒。被圣灵充满的这位兄弟在圣所里摇摇晃晃地走动, 真是祝福满满。一位来自新加坡CKRM的同工, 提摩太弟兄, 在圣灵的引导下以地方戏剧的行式发预言。若不是圣灵的能力, 一般人都不可能象他那样, 脚跟向内斜地在圣所里里走动。神也藉保罗牧师启动了几位兄弟姐妹的属灵恩赐, 好让他们为众人示范跳印度舞和讲印度语的方言恩赐。在场的一位印度基督徒微笑地看着他们交谈与跳着自己民族舞, 不知他心中是否感到惊讶。

属灵界里的宝贝真是无所不有,让人看为惊讶。就连阅读圣经, 对一些CKRM的同工来说, 是办不到的事。这是因为神的话语大有能力, 使这些灵里敏锐的基督徒无法顺畅的开口念出经文。保罗牧师也不时地叫几位会众里的兄弟姐妹出来, 为他们祷告。为了展示神的大能,是圣灵自己的工作。 保罗牧师没有触碰他们, 只挥手和祷告把神的能力传给他们。领受到神能力的信徒一个个地被圣灵降下的能力击倒在地上, 一些人的身体一直不停颤抖。聚会结束前, 保罗牧师和以斯帖牧师把八杯水变成圣灵的酒,(约翰福音2:9) 请有病痛的人出来享用。喝下这酒的信徒, 一些被圣灵充满倒在地上, 一些身体颤抖摇摆, 明显的显现酒里确实带着圣灵的能力。最后保罗牧师做了一个结束祷告, 圣火大大地扫过整个圣所, 燃烧在场的人。灵里敏锐的基督徒个个有不同的彰显, 并浸泡在圣灵的火焰里。

感谢神的恩典,圣灵的彰显也感动在场还未信主的朋友,当天有两位朋友接受耶稣为他们个人的救主。让我们与众天使一同欢庆他们的诞生。(路加福音15:7)请记念他们,盼望不久的将来,他们也能被主大大的使用,去攻破仇敌的城门,阿们!

让我们大家继续一同为神的儿女们代祷,祷告基督徒兴起渴慕更多的属灵恩赐;因这恩赐在不渴慕的人来说是没什么;但在我们这些渴慕的人来说是非常的宝贝 (哥林多后书4:7)。所以经上记:祂要灭绝知慧人的知慧,废弃聪明人的聪明(哥林多前书1:19,以赛亚书29:14)愿更多的基督徒愿意被装备成为基督国度的精兵。阿们!

Written by Bro Mark Tay (Translation to English)

Unless the LORD builds the house, its builders labor in vain. Unless the LORD watches over the city, the watchmen stand guard in vain. (Psalms 127:1)

By the Grace of God,CKRM Leadership Training (SEA) Sdn Bhd officially started the first empowerment ministry on 14th March 2009. Co-workers from CKRM Singapore made a special trip to Malacca to lend their support. Thank God, the ministry started smoothly at 3 pm sharp and CKRM officially entered a new frontier.

Entering Malacca to set up CKRM Leadership Training (SEA) Sdn Bhd is the Lord’s mission to CKRM; to bring God’s power and revival to His church. Isaiah 61:1 “The Spirit of the Sovereign LORD is on me, because the LORD has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners …… “

The objective of setting up CKRM Leadership Training (SEA) Sdn Bhd is to equip the body of Christ so that everyone may become a vessel of noble purpose in God’s house under the anointing of the Holy Spirit. This ministry was set up for those who hunger and chase after the Lord, who are willing to consecrate and be used by the Lord. Through this ministry, the spiritual gifting God has installed for His children (1 Cor 12:8-10) will be activated when the Holy Spirit falls on them (Acts 1:8).

The works of the Holy Spirit will stir up their faith and bring them back to their first love for Christ. These Christians who are equipped will witness for the Lord with His power (Acts 1:8) and take His message to the Gentiles and to kings, as well as to the people of Israel(Acts 9:15). Depending on the Holy Spirit and His gifts, they will live out the promise in Mark 16:17-18, which is “they will cast out demons in my name, and they will speak in new languages. They will be able to handle snakes with safety, and if they drink anything poisonous, it won’t hurt them. They will be able to place their hands on the sick, and they will be healed.” Amen!!!

That day, Pastor Paul and Pastor Esther did many demonstrations in the sanctuary to showcase God’s power and the gifts of the Holy Spirit. Under the anointing of the Holy Spirit, a 17 yr old youth demonstrated the roar of the Lion of Judah(Amos 3:8).

Pastor Paul also laid hands on a 7 yr old girl to anoint her and asked her to bless a sister in the congregation. The lovely girl ran towards that sister and gently placed her hands on the hands of that sister. A short while later, that sister’s hands began to flap like an eagle. This little girl also blessed a Christian who came especially from Kuala Lumpur for this ministry.

Filled with the Holy Spirit, this brother staggered around the sanctuary; what a blessed man he is. A co-worker from CKRM Singapore, Brother Timothy, prophesized in Cantonese Opera style when he is under the anointing of the Holy Spirit. If not for the power of the Holy Spirit, he would not be able to move around with his heels tilting inwards, a feat we aren’t capable of. God also empowered Pastor Paul, enabling him to activate the spiritual gifting of a few brothers and sister so that they can demonstrate the gift of Indian tongue and dance to the congregation. A Christian who is an Indian looked on and smiled as they danced and conversed in his native language. I wondered if he is shocked by what he saw.

There are so many treasures in the spiritual world to keep us in awe. Even reading the bible to some CKRM co-workers is an impossible task. As the Word of God is powerful, these Christians who are spiritually sensitive are unable to recite the scriptures smoothly.

Pastor Paul also from time to time, called out a few brothers and sisters in Christ to pray for them. In order to show that the power is from the Holy Spirit, Pastor Paul did not touch them but imparted God’s power via prayer and swaying his hands. Those who received the power of the Holy Spirit fell under the power when the Holy Spirit came upon them; some of them trembled. Before the meeting ended, Pastor Paul and Pastor Esther changed eight glasses of water into spiritual wine (John 2::9) and invited those with sickness to come forward. After drinking the spiritual wine, some believers were filled with the Holy Spirit and fell under the power of God, others were trembling. It is plain for all to see that the wine did carry the power of the Holy Spirit.

Finally, Pastor Paul closed the meeting with a word of prayer. Holy fire swept across the whole sanctuary and “burnt” all who were present. Those who were spiritually sensitive manifested in various ways as everybody soaked in the fire of the Holy Spirit.

Thanks to God’s grace,the manifestations of the Holy Spirit touched the unbelievers who were present and two of them received Jesus as their savior. Let us rejoice their birth with the angels (Luke 15:7). Bear them in mind so that they will be greatly used by the Lord to demolish the gates of the enemy in the near future. Amen!

Let us continue to pray for God’s children, pray that the Christians will desire for more and more gifts of the Holy Spirit because these gifts to those who have no desire are nothing but for those who desire them, they are great treasures (2 Cor 4:7). As the Scriptures say, “I will destroy the wisdom of the wise and discard the intelligence of the intelligent. Because of this, I will once again astound these hypocrites with amazing wonders. The wisdom of the wise will pass away, and the intelligence of the intelligent will disappear” (1 Cor 1:19, Isaiah 29:14).

May there be more Christians who are willing to be equipped as a soldier in God’s kingdom. Amen!


公义和冠冕 (Crown & Righteousness)

耶稣说:我实在告诉你们,人为神的国,撇下房户或是妻子,弟兄,父母,儿女,没有在今世不得百倍,在来世不得永生的。(路加福音18 :29-30)。。。。。。。他是我所拣选的器皿,要在外邦人和君王并以色列人面前,宣扬我的名。我也要指示他,为我的名必须受许多的苦难。(使徒行传9:15-16)

在这夜深人静的凌晨,在异国的土地上,更想念在新加坡的家人,CKRM的弟兄姐妹。。。。。想啊想不知怎么切哭了。。。也不知哭了多久忽然想起昨天下午 Pastor Paul 问我:神要你翻译的那编见证你做好了吗?翻译好了这篇在新加坡祈祷院的日子,我感触很深,顺手提笔写下心中的感想:

感谢主对我特别的熬炼与塑造,藉身边的人物来磨练我。回顾这一切的发生,我感恩不尽,是祂用苦难来塑造我,以成为祂合用的器皿,太棒了。想起2000年前,您为我们设立的好榜样,是我们学习最完美的目标。您轻看这至至轻的羞辱,忍受一切有形无形的指责,被着承重的十字架,默默走上各各他。为要成就极重无比的荣耀。所以一切的痛苦和屈辱就不足齿了。感谢您给我这美好的经历,好让我能领会当年使徒保罗为什么会说:得赦免其过,遮盖其罪的,这人是有福的。

(罗马书4:7)彼得为什么会说:爱能遮盖许多的罪(彼得前书4:8)主耶稣为什么说:有人打你的右脸,连左脸也转过来给他打。(马太5:39)感谢主为我披戴厚厚的恩典,感谢您对我的拣选,对我的呼召。有谁能明白您无限的慈爱?有谁能测透您无穷的知慧?没有,一个也没有。您要怜悯谁就怜悯谁!您要恩待谁就恩待谁。赏赐的是耶和华,收取的也是耶和华,耶和华是应当称颂的。

主啊,我要对您说:从今以后,我不以性命为念,也不看为宝贵,只要行完我的路程,成就我从您所领受的职事,証明神恩惠的福音。我盼望将来有朝一日,我能象使徒保罗这样说: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。从此以后,有公义的冠冕为我存留。啊们

Translation to English

Crown and Righteousness

I tell you the truth," Jesus said to them, "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." (Luke 18: 29-30)

“This man is my chosen instrument to carry my name before the Gentiles and their kings and before the people of Israel. I will show him how much he must suffer for my name" (Acts 9: 15-16).

The quietness of daybreak and living in a foreign land, made me miss my family, brothers and sisters in-Christ from CKRM even more ... and the more I thought of them, I began to weep ... I’m not sure for how long, but all of a sudden, I recalled yesterday Ps Paul asked me if I completed the article God wanted me to translate.

After translating the article ‘The Season for me to be at Singapore Christian Prayer House’, I also decided to pen down my thoughts and feelings:

I thank the Lord for His great endurance and for the way He used people around me to mold me. Looking back, I’m really grateful to Him for using trails and hardships to mold me into a vessel for His use. 2000 years ago, not only did the Lord set a great example for us, but He is also our perfect role model. Though faced with all kinds of humiliation and accusation, He did not utter a word. He simply carried the heavy cross all the way to Golgotha, for the ultimate glory of God.

Thus, the pain and humiliation we faced are nothing compared to His. Thank you for such a beautiful experience. It enable me to understand what Apostle Paul said about “Blessed are they whose transgressions are forgiven, whose sins are covered” (Romans 4: 7); why did Peter say: Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins (1 Peter 4:8); and why Jesus said: .. If someone strikes you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also (Matthew 5:39).

I thank the Lord for His abundant grace, for having chosen me, and for my calling. Who can understand His infinite loving kindness? Who can examine thoroughly His infinite wisdom? Nobody can. He is the one who decides whom He wants to have mercy on and whom He wants to extend grace to. He is the one who rewards and He is also the one who retracts. He is greatly to be praised.

Lord, from today onwards, I do not want to worry nor treasure too much of my life. But what I want is to finish the race you have called me, to testify the gospel of God’s grace. I hope some day; I will be like Apostle Paul saying: I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, and I have kept the faith. Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness. Amen!

A Reader's Research on the Lion's Roar / 一位读者关于狮子吼的研究

(Printed the Reader's email with his consent)

Dear Pastor Paul Ang,

I was doing some searching on the internet trying to find out information on the Lion’s Roar. Let me give you a bit of background. I’m a seminary student at Regent University working on a Masters in Practical Theology in Virginia Beach, Virginia, USA and God has drawn me to the Hebraic Roots of Christianity, I am a born-again believer and am waiting on the Lord Jesus to show me what He wants for my life. In doing some reach for various projects, I discovered that in Jewish literature (Midrash) it describes this story:

“The midrash tells a fascinating story of how Judah and Joseph
almost came to blows over the release of Benjamin. Judah roared like
a lion, and displayed super-human feats of strength, tossing boulders
into the air and pulverizing chains with his teeth, all to show
what Joseph would have to contend with. Joseph then gave
Manasseh a look, and Manasseh stomped his foot on the floor so
hard, he made the whole palace tremble, while Joseph kicked a marble
column, breaking it into pieces, to which=2 0Judah wisely replied,
"Such stamping comes from Father's house," meaning he recognized
these feats as only accomplishable by those related by blood to
Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, thus he sought a non-violent alternative.
(Chassidah, Encyclopedia of Biblical Personalities, pg. 331.)

As looked for examples of this on the internet I came across references to the Lion’s Roar first in one of your congregants blogs and then on your blog site. While the above quote is certainly not a scriptural reference for the Lion’s Roar gift as it is the Midrash, I do think it is interesting. I don’t have access to the Encyclopedia of Biblical Personalities personally as this is a secondary quote from a magazine called Targum. I don’t normally contact people out of the blue like this, but felt the prompting of the Holy Spirit that this was rather important for you to see.

As I read about this, I thought to myself, I think I may have this gift. Several years ago in Korea (around 2000), I was at a worship services where I could not stop shouting “Glory” at the top of my lungs, after that I hadn’t experience or seen anything like it before or after, until this past year. I was in Iraq and praying with my prayer group on top of the Chapel. We were doing our weekly intercession and I felt the Lord urging me to yell “JESUS” as loud as I could, It seemed at one point deafening and I felt I could go even louder, but the Chaplain came up and stopped us for being too loud. The Chaplain that stopped us on the roof (who by the way is a Spirit Filled Believer in Jesus), was very encouraging and recommended we continue in the Base Chapel, just not on the roof. I haven’t really used it since and not even sure what to use it for, though I knew instinctively that I was doing for Spiritual warfare.

The other reference that I found was that the “Lion’s Roar” was a type of Kung Fu, which was portrayed in a Kung Fu Movie called “Kung Fu Hussle” Which had a lady roaring supernaturally to defeat her opponent. Certainly Satan will try to attempt to twist any gift that God has bestowed, so that didn’t surprise me.

I was hoping that perhaps you could shed some light on the subject for me regarding this spiritual gift, how it is used in your congregation and elsewhere and any other insight you could give me on the subject. Thank you for your time and may God richly bless you in the coming weeks.

In Christ,
Robert

I also wanted to say that I appreciate the links you sent me I read both the blog and the testimonials previously, but I had not read Elder Dainel Ng’s testimony so thank you!

Additionally, For those interested Targum is a small press PDF Game Magazine that is no longer in publication (though you can find it on the internet http://www.rpgnow.com/) The focus initially was on a Game called Testament: Role-Playing in the Biblical Era. I wanted to fact check the magazine’s article so I found an online copy of the Midrash on the internet at http://www.sacred-texts.com/jud/loj/loj203.htm and it fully confirms the story in the Midrash.

I’ve included the full text of the stories below for your review, with portions concerning a loud voice, cry, shouting, etc. in Bold.

When the brethren yielded to Joseph's demand, and consented to leave their brother behind as hostage, Simon said to them, "Ye desire to do with me as ye did with Joseph!" But they replied, in despair: "What can we do? Our households will perish of hunger." Simon made answer, "Do as ye will, but as for me, let me see the man that will venture to cast me into prison." Joseph sent word to Pharaoh to let him have seventy of his valiant men, to aid him in arresting robbers. But when the seventy appeared upon the scene, and were about to lay hands on Simon, he uttered a loud cry, and his assailants fell to the floor and knocked out their teeth. Pharaoh's valiant men, as well as all the people that stood about Joseph, fled affrighted, only Joseph and his son Manasseh remained calm and unmoved. Manasseh rose up, dealt Simon a blow on the back of his neck, put manacles upon his hands and fetters upon his feet, and cast him into prison. Joseph's brethren were greatly amazed at the heroic strength of the youth, and Simon said, "This blow was not dealt by an Egyptian, but by one belonging to our house."
These words had such an effect upon Judah that he broke out in sobs, and cried aloud, "How shall I go up to my father, and the lad be not with me?" His outcry reached to a distance of four hundred parasangs, and when Hushim the son of Dan heard it in Canaan, he jumped into Egypt with a single leap and joined his voice with Judah's, and the whole land was on the point of collapsing from the great noise they produced. Joseph's valiant men lost their teeth, and the cities of Pithom and Raamses were destroyed, and they remained in ruins until the Israelites built them up again under taskmasters. Also Judah's brethren, who had kept quiet up to that moment, fell into a rage, and stamped on the ground with their feet until it looked as though deep furrows had been torn in it by a ploughshare. And Judah addressed his brethren, "Be brave, demean yourselves as men, and let each one of you show his heroism, for the circumstances demand that we do our best."

In the meantime Manasseh had assembled a great army, five hundred mounted men and ten thousand on foot, among them four hundred valiant heroes, who could fight without spear or sword, using only their strong, unarmed hands. To inspire his brethren with more terror, Joseph ordered them to make a loud noise with all sorts of instruments, and their appearance and the hubbub they produced did, indeed, cause fear to fall upon some of the brethren of Joseph. Judah, however, called to them, "Why are you terrified, seeing that God grants us His mercy?" He drew his sword, and uttered a wild cry, which threw all the people into consternation, and in their disordered flight many fell over each other and perished, and Judah and his brethren followed after the fleeing people as far as the house of Pharaoh. Returning to Joseph, Judah again broke out in loud roars, and the reverberations caused by his cries were so mighty that all the city walls in Egypt and in Goshen fell in ruins, the pregnant women brought forth untimely births, and Pharaoh was flung from his throne. Judah's cries were heard at a great distance, as far off as Succoth.

I am amazed at everything I’m reading and I’m interested in what you will have to say, especially if you get a chance to read the whole story as these are simply excerpts from the story about Joseph meeting his brothers. Of course, none of the Midrash scriptural as it is not in the canon of the Bible, but it is fascinating.

We know that the spoken word is powerful, and this was demonstrated in Genesis 1 when God spoke the world into existence. Matthew 12;36 tells that we know that we’ll be held accountable for every word that proceeds forth from our mouths, so it is no surprise that the Lions Roar as you describe would be so powerful a gift thru which the Holy Spirit operates. It also interesting to see how the Midrash potrays the destructive power of voice as well. I’m going to continue to explore this subject study and prayer and I'll keep you posted on what I find. Please keep me in prayer as well not only in my school studies, but also for discernment in where God wants me to serve along with discernment about that have been imparted to me by the Holy Spirit. Please let me know how I can be praying for you and your congregation. I look forward to hearing back from you on these Midrash excerpts, and feel free to include these in your blog as well. May God richly bless you in the coming weeks.

In Christ,
Robert

一位读者关于狮子吼的研究 (中文翻译由中国Sarah Shan博士完成)

(经作者同意取自于email)

亲爱的保罗牧师:

我在网上搜索想找到关于狮子吼的信息。首先介绍一下我的背景。我是美国维州维吉尼亚海滩维真大学神学生,攻读实用神学硕士学位。神带领我来到Hebraic Roots of Christianity。我是一个重生的基督徒,现在正等候神对我生命的呼召。在对一些项目进行研究的时候,我发现在犹太文化(Midrash)中记载了一个故事。

midrash中讲述了一个精彩故事,犹大和约瑟因为释放便雅悯的问题几乎争打起来。 犹大如狮子般吼叫,展示超人力量,向空中投掷大石头,并用自己的牙齿磨碎链子,他展示这些技艺,要看约瑟用什么来跟他比试。约瑟给玛拿西一个眼色,玛拿西就在地上跺脚,力量之大以至于整个宫殿都颤动。而约瑟则踢向一个大以萨理石柱,将其踢成碎片。犹大看到了这些,很智慧地回答一句:这样的力量来自父的家。意思是说,他认出来这些技能只有亚伯拉罕、以撒、雅各的家族才会拥有。于是他选择不用武力来解决问题。(Chassidah, 圣经人物百科全书Encyclopedia of Biblical Personalities,第331页)

我在网上查找关于这个故事的例子时,首先查到了您的两位会众Blog中关于狮子吼的文章,进而找到您的Blog网站。虽然我上面引用的故事不是关于狮子吼的圣经依据,因为是在Midrash中记载的,但我确实认为很有趣。我没有亲自查找圣经人物百科全书,因为它也是引用另一本杂志叫做Targum。我通常不会这样冒昧与人联系,但感动圣灵催促我,让你看到这个故事是很重要的。

读这个故事的时候,我自己想,我认为我可能有这个恩赐。几年前我在韩国的时候(大约2000年),我在一个敬拜会中禁不住声嘶力竭地呼喊“荣耀”,在那前后我没有过类似的经历。直到去年,我在伊拉克与我的祷告小组一起在礼拜堂房顶上祷告,我们一起做每周一次的代祷,我感觉主催促我尽我所能地大声呼喊“耶稣”。声音似乎已经震耳欲聋,但我感到还能更大声。牧师上来阻止我们,因为声音太大了。到房顶来阻止我们的牧师很受鼓励(他也是经历圣灵充满的基督徒),但他建议我们到礼拜堂地下继续祷告,不要在房顶上。我实际上没有再用过这个,也不确定这是用来做什么的,我只是本能地知道我那样做的时候是在做属灵争战。

我找到的另一个参考信息是:“狮子吼”是一种“功夫”。在一部叫做“功夫”的功夫片中有描述 。片中一位女士超自然地吼叫,打败她的对手。当然,撒旦会试图扭曲神所赐的恩赐,因此我对此并不感到惊奇。

我希望您能在这个问题上给我一些亮光,使我能理解这个属灵恩赐。您的教会中或其他地方如何使用这个恩赐,您在这方面能给我的一些什么看见。谢谢您付出的宝贵时间,愿神在接下来的几周丰丰富富祝福您。

在基督里,

Robert

我也要感谢您给我的链接,我读了您的笔记和以前的见证,但我还没有读Dainel Ng长老的见证。谢谢您!

另外,如有人感兴趣,Targum是一个小规模的PDF游戏杂志,现已不再出版(但可以在http://www.rpgnow.com/网站上找到),内容源于一个叫做“约”的游戏:扮演圣经时代的人物。我想查找杂志中的一片文章,结果在网上发现了Midrash的文本(http://www.sacred-texts.com/jud/loj/loj203.htm)。在Midrash中完整地确证了这个故事。

我把完整的故事列在下面以便您阅读,有关大声 呼喊 吼叫等的部分。

当弟兄们屈服于约瑟的要求,同意留下他们的兄弟做人质时,西缅对他们说,“你们要待我象从前待约瑟一样吗” 但他们绝望地回答说:“我们有什么办法呢?我们全家都要饿死了。”西缅回答:“按你们的意思办吧,但我要看看谁敢把我投入监狱。”约瑟传话给法老,让法老派给他70个勇士帮助捉拿强盗。但当70个人来到并要动手捉拿西缅时,他发出大声,这些人倒在地上撞掉了牙齿。法老的勇士们以及在约瑟旁边的人都吓坏了,只有约瑟和他儿子玛拿西镇静不动。玛拿西起来,对西缅后颈击打一下,把手铐戴在他的手上,脚镣戴在他脚上,把西缅投入监狱。约瑟的弟兄们对这个年轻人的英武非常震惊,西缅说,“这一拳不是出于埃及人,是我们家族的一员”。

这句话极大触动了犹大,他禁不住呜咽,大声哭道,“我怎么回去见我父亲呢。他的呼声达到了四百里(古波斯单位)之外的迦南地,但的儿子户伸听到了,一步就跨到埃及,与犹大一起呼喊,整个大地因他们发出的极大声音几乎塌陷。约瑟的勇士们牙齿都被震掉,比东和兰塞城被毁坏,留下废墟直到以色列人在督工手下时被重建。之前保持安静的犹大的弟兄们,也都大发雷霆,用脚顿地,直到地好象被犁出深沟一样。犹大对他的弟兄们说:“勇敢起来!我们暂且屈尊如人,各人展现自己的英勇,因现在的环境使我们不得不尽力如此行。”

玛拿西也同时召集了一支大军,五百骑兵加一万步兵,其中有四百能不用刀枪徒手作战的勇士。为了震慑他的弟兄们,约瑟让这些人用各样器具奏出大声。他们的声势的确使约瑟的几个弟兄害怕。但犹大对他们说:“你们害怕呢什么呢,这是神要赐怜悯与我们。”他拔出剑来,发出狂呼,使所有人惊慌失措,在逃跑的混乱中很多人互相践踏死亡。犹大和他弟兄们追赶逃军直到法老宫殿。回到约瑟那里后,犹大再次大声吼叫,其回声之强烈,使埃及和兰塞所有城墙倒塌,怀孕妇女流产,法老从宝座逃走。犹大的呼喊声达到极远处,直到疏割。

当我读这个故事时,对里面的记载感到非常惊讶,我也很想知道您会说些什么,尤其当您有机会能读完整的故事时,因这只不过是约瑟与众弟兄会面故事的摘录而已。当然Midrash不是在圣经正典里,不能作为圣经根据,但它却很精彩。

我们知道讲出来的话语很有能力,创世纪1章也证明了这一点,神用他的话创造世界。马太福音12:36说我们口中所出的一切话都要句句供出来。因此,您说狮子吼是圣灵所运做的一个极有能力的恩赐,也就不以为奇了。很有意思,Midrash也描述了声音的破坏性能力。我会继续祷告并研究这个主题,如果有所发现,会转发给您。请为我祷告,不只是做学术研究,而且也使我能分辨神要我在哪里服事并分辨圣灵给我的恩赐。请让我知道我应该如何为您和您的教会祷告。期待您对这些Midrash摘录内容的反馈意见,这些内容您可以随意发布在blog中。愿神在以下几周丰丰富富赐福与您!

在基督里,

Robert
