WHAT IT TRULY MEANS TO HAVE ALL AUTHORITY GIVEN TO US

Yesterday I had a revelation. The Lord showed me what it meant when Jesus said all authority had been given to us. When He said all authority, it meant all. This was a powerful revelation because Jesus had given us all dominion over principalities and evil spirits. Whatever we bind on earth will be bound in heaven. Whatever we loose on earth will be loosed in heaven. We also have authority over our bodies and spiritual authority over our children when they are small.  

God said that many in the church are awakening to this authority in Christ now. Many are beginning to not fear the evil spirits and their attacks. Because they know that the enemy is a defeated foe. They also know that they have authority over these dark powers. And even if it seemed like the enemy was winning, as in the case when Daniel prayed, the answer tarried for 21 days. But eventually the angelic hosts came to help and breakthrough the principalities to get the answer to Daniel. 

 

This story encouraged me to press on, press through. Even though resistance might be strong, even though there might be a demonic assignment sent to wear us out, victory is already assured. Why give up now when victory is so very near? The enemy is desperate now to fire blanks because he knows his time is ending. More importantly we have authority over the enemy. We can cooperate with God by decreeing His word and activity going angels to help us win this battle.

 

The Lord then showed me what was difficult wasn’t the part about fighting these dark powers for we have authority over all. What was tougher was when a person’s will came into play. God cannot override their free choice. So we cannot pray to bind a person on earth because we have no authority over a person. And at times there may not be a spirit behind the person. It could just be some wrong believing or the person’s stubbornness to not see the truth. In these cases our hands are tied. 

 

But we still can pray to ask God to speak to them personally and also to show Himself real to them. The Holy Spirit within them will work in them, if they are believers. God can also send other people to release a word to them especially for those pre-believers. At the end of the day only God can change hearts, not us. So we pray and just leave the outcome to God. Our prayers are powerful so all is not lost. But it would take some time for God to complete the process of mind renewal.

 

And that is why a yielded heart is so precious to the Lord. There is nothing the Lord wouldn’t do for someone who is yielded to Him, someone who has a teachable spirit. The Lord is not afraid to release the blessings from Heaven, open the floodgates for this person because He is assured that this person would not stray away from Him when success comes. This is the Father’s heart for all of us. He wants to give us the kingdom. 

 

The reason why God showed me the difference between dealing with evil powers and a person’s will was that we could discern the two and pray accordingly. In the earlier case there isn’t much to pray about. Whenever you discern an evil spirit at work, just take authority over it and bind it in Jesus’ name. But if a person’s will is concerned, we need to pray and ask God to speak to the person. 

 

Actually there is nothing too hard for our Lord but He did show me that it was ’easier’ to command evil spirits to leave than to change a person’s heart. I felt that God is so good. He is so patient with us but in this new era, there isn’t much time to waste circling the mountain again. We really have to ‘get our act’ together so to speak. Be prepared and get ready to move when God says move. I tell you, He is already on the move. I am trying to keep up. 

 

PREPARATION FOR JOSEPH PEOPLE: PART VII

Dear brothers and sisters, I have just uploaded the seventh and last session of the preparation for Joseph people. This is perhaps the most important session of all. I hope you could watch it and let this word sink into your heart. Especially the word about remembering the Lord. Deuteronomy 8:18. I can feel the Father’s heart as I recorded this last video. It is such a heart of love for His people. I sense the time of breakthrough and season of harvest much much closer than before. This is really it. This is what the Lord has been preparing all you Josephs for. This is the final countdown. Now is action time!

ARE THE HEATHENS REALLY MORE BLESSED THAN BELIEVERS?

There was a question during our Josephs’ meeting about why many heathens are much richer and more blessed than many believers. They do not seem to live a life of struggles unlike many believers. This was a question I asked God many years ago and God showed me this revelation. Are you curious to know what was His answer? Here it goes.   

God told me that was a lie from the pit of hell. How can the heathens be better off than us? Firstly their end is hell in eternity, not heaven. Secondly they don't have Christ in their lives so they have no protection against the wiles of the enemy. When bad things happen, they are bad. There is no inheritance for them to believe that God would work all things out for their good. (Romans 8:28)

 

They also don't have the security like us, for they fear of bad things happening in the future. Who can they look to except themselves? Heng always said that you can never know how the heathens are living their lives. Without God to take care and provide for them, they will still worry about the future. Struggle with insecurity, bitterness, comparison, jealousy and envy etc. They may look happy on the surface but you will never know their inward struggles. 

 

Psalms 73:17-20 says ‘until I went into the sanctuary of God then I understood their end. Surely you set them in slippery places; you make them fall into ruin. O how they are brought to desolation, as in a moment! They are utterly consumed with terrors. As a dream when one awakens; so Lord when you awaken you shall despise their image.’

 

Also Psalms 37:1-2 says ‘Do not fret because of evildoers, nor be envious of them. For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb.’ There had been many times in the past when my heart was grieved and my spirit embittered when I saw how the heathens seemed to have their way while we the beloved children of God are deprived. 

 

For many years, I was constantly taunted and deceived by the enemy’s lie in this area. Yet when I entered God’s sanctuary, I saw the end of the heathens. And there was nothing to envy them. I saw that I was senseless and ignorance, like a brute beast before the Lord. Yet I was still with Him and He held me by my hand. He guided me with His counsel and took me into His glory afterward. 

 

Whom do I have in heaven but You? There is nothing I desire more on earth than You. Therein lies my blessedness that no one can take away. Jesus is my greatest wealth. When God opened my eyes to see that I already have the greatest wealth, how can I still complain that the heathens are more blessed than me? By whose yardstick am I measuring the success or blessings? 

 

I then realised that I was looking through the lens of the world, not God. I was only focused on what my eyes can see but the unseen realm is actually more real. What the heathens have is only temporal. They are not building up treasures in heaven where moth and rust cannot destroy. Yes they may seem to be living a blessed and abundant life but their end is still hell if they do not have Jesus. So what is the use of all the riches accumulated here on earth if they cannot bring it with them when they die? 

 

Another example the Lord impressed upon me was the story of the poor beggar Lazarus and the rich man. This account is found in Luke 16:19-31. I want to draw your attention to verses 25 and 26. But Abraham said, ‘Son, remember that in your lifetime you received your good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things; but now he is comforted and you are tormented. And besides all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed, so that those who want to pass from here to you cannot, nor can those from there pass to us.’

 

In the unseen realm, there is also a spiritual warfare against the Joseph people in the area of wealth creation. The enemy is working hard to come against this mission of God. I reminded the Josephs’ group that God called us to pray to break the demonic attacks against the Joseph people. Besides we never know, God may be laying up the wealth of the sinners for the righteous (Proverbs 13:22) just like how He caused the giants in the promised land to build cities and dig wells in preparation for the Israelites to possess and inherit all these things. 

 

Even though our greatest wealth is knowing Jesus, I still have to qualify that it is still God’s will to bless us with physical possessions because after all our Father owns the cattle on the thousand hills. (Psalms 57:10) It is also the Father’s good pleasure to give us His kingdom. (Luke 12:32) One of the reasons believers are not walking in such prosperity could be due to wrong believing taught in the pulpits or a lack of knowledge. 

 

We could be limited by the law because we are under demand whereas the heathens do not seem to be held back by such evil conscience. Some believers may be taught that money is the root of all evil and to stay close to the Lord one must not accumulate too much wealth or he would be tempted to stray away. But the bible clearly said that it is the love of money being the root of all evil, not money per se. 

 

Yet many Christians are hoodwinked by the lie that money will destroy their lives and their families. Hence the aversion to amass wealth here on earth. They could also have the wrong thinking that it was all pointless to build up treasures on earth where moth and rust destroy and thieves can break in to steal. What they need is a revelation that God wants to bless them with the money to bless the people and advance His kingdom purposes. That will be another topic all by itself which I would touch on another time. 

 

In recent years, what the Lord showed me was that the difference between believers and nonbelievers are going to be even more stark in this new era. There will be a greater chasm between us and the heathens. Be prepared to see a great divide become more visible within families, communities and nations. As God pours out more of His blessings on us, people around us are going to get even more jealous of our blessings. God is now turning the tables by blessing us more than the heathens through the transfer of wealth. Yes be prepared. 

 

TENTH ANNIVERSARY OF MY BLOG

Today my blog turns 10 years old. I cannot believe it has been a decade since I started this blog. I didn’t think too much about it but the Lord seemed to be saying it is a significant milestone. I cannot say I have been very prolific in blogging for the past few years but at least I did share when prompted. The reason why it is a significant milestone is because God is pleased with my faithfulness in stepping out with this writing ministry.

Honestly I feel that there can be so much more I can do in this writing ministry but somehow I got distracted by many things happening in my life along the way. But that is not what the Lord looks at. He is looking at my consistency. My willingness to write and post articles during those tough seasons of my life when He was preparing and training me up. In the natural I totally did not feel like writing anything. I just wanted to withdraw into my own shell. 

Yet when I look back now, those years of preparation are totally necessary. And the Lord seems to be saying that things are not going to be the same old same old from this day onwards. He told me earlier that I have passed the test, I have finished the race and fought the good fight of faith. I continued to press on and do His work even when the going got tough. All these served to build up my spiritual mettle. 

Where the Lord is taking me to in this blog or ministry in the next 5 or 10 years, I am still not very sure. All I know is that wherever He brings me to in the future or even in the days ahead will totally astound me. I would not have expected it in my wildest imaginations. It can only be the hand of God. In fact, even as I reflected on the past decade of my blog, I am amazed at the amount of things I wrote. 

But right now I don’t wish to think so far. I just want to take the moment to celebrate my blog’s tenth birthday. This blog is also like my baby that I birthed ten years ago. What a journey it had been! Only the Lord knows! The fact that I am still blogging today is testament to His grace for many times I wanted to give up writing. Now I see that the Lord has built up a depository of His words through my blog. 

In closing, I just wanted to echo the words of a post that I had taken out from Elijah List, written by Deborah Waldron. I took it as the very words of my Lord to me. 

Beloved. Well done, My good and faithful servant. You are My Chosen, My Elite Warrior raised up for such a time as this. Many gave up along the way, but you did not give up. You did not lose your faith in Your Commander but you obeyed. You obeyed without asking why. You obeyed with tears in your eyes and pain in your heart. Still, you trusted.

 

Even faced with death, you marched on. You have walked by the Spirit and not the flesh. To you are given the most difficult missions. You have been an example to others for they see your faith even in the midst of dire circumstances. They marvel that you keep using your supernatural weapons of warfare. Even when you don't see the miracle, you fight on, knowing that faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. 

 

I have set you before men. I know you have some battle scars. But here is what makes you Elite. You kept going. You kept believing. You kept praising and worshiping. You are the Special Forces of the Spirit. I have a crown waiting for you, My Child. It is the Crown of the Overcomer. Fear not what may come against you. Your Commander is with you. 

I have to thank a sister who baked a cake for me when she came to my place in the evening, just in time for the celebration of my blog’s tenth birthday. I felt so loved by her kind action and also touched by God’s love for me. Here’s the lovely cake. God is so good to me.

PREPARATION OF JOSEPH PEOPLE: PART VI

Dear brothers and sisters, I have just posted the video on the sixth session. In this session I am sharing about the power of visualisation, dreaming big and divine connections. God is getting His people ready for the end time transfer of wealth and He is teaching us to be in position for it. He wants us to get ready so that we can move with Him when He moves. Be blessed!

ABUNDANCE OF SPOILS

During Care group meeting on Fri, I suddenly had this word flash across my mind. It just came out of nowhere. The word was abundance. Nobody mentioned it during the meeting and soon I forgot about it. It was only when I saw a Facebook post that said today is 10/10/20, the day of abundance that I realised God was trying to point me to John 10:10. Jesus has come to give us life more abundantly! Praise God for the abundance!

I googled the meaning of abundance. It says a very large quantity of something. The state or condition of having a copious quantity of something. Plentifulness of the good things of life, prosperity. The Hebrew word is marbeh. Strong’s concordance 4766. It comes from a root word rabah which means to become much, many or great. To be increasing. Isaiah 33:23 was mentioned in the Hebrew word abundance so I checked out the commentary.

 

Continuing the allegory in Isaiah 33:21, he compares the enemies' host to a war galley which is deprived of the tackling or cords by which the mast is sustained and the sail is spread; and which therefore is sure to be wrecked on "the broad river" (Isaiah 33:21), and become the prey of Israel. The tackling, "hold not firm the base of the mast." 

 

This is when the Assyrian host shall have been discomfited. Hezekiah had given Sennacherib three hundred talents of silver, and thirty of gold (2 Kings 18:14-16), and had stripped the temple of its gold to give it to him; this treasure was probably part of the prey found in the foe's camp. After the invasion, Hezekiah had so much wealth that he made an improper display of it (2 Kings 20:13-15); this wealth, probably, was in part got from the Assyrian.

 

The metaphor is taken and carried on from Isaiah 33:21, where mention is made of a galley with oars, and a gallant ship. Tyrannical governments are thought by some to be compared to ships; a king to the mast; princes to ropes, cords, and tackling; and their army in battle array to sails spread; but here all is in confusion, distress, and unavoidable ruin.

 

So this may very well be applied to the anti Christian states, when the vials of God's wrath shall be poured out upon them; especially when the second vial shall be poured out upon the sea, and all shipping will suffer, as under the second trumpet the third part of ships were destroyed, there being a correspondence between the trumpets and the seals, Revelation 8:8.

 

Isaiah 33:21 was given to me by a prophetic sister in Nov 2011. ‘But there the majestic Lord will be for us. A place of broad rivers and streams, in which no galley with oars will sail, nor majestic ships pass by.’ Today I saw the continuation of this word in Isaiah 33:23 in the context of our enemies. ’Your tackle is loosed, they could not strengthen their mast, they could not spread the sail. Then the prey of great plunder is divided; the lame take the prey.’

 

I think the Lord is trying to tell me that He is bringing us to a broad place, a place of abundance and fulfilment in the new era. Where the enemy cannot prevail against us because the Lord is for us. God has turned the enemy’s camp into confusion so we can take down the enemy and collect the spoils. The spoils were so great that it reminded me of the spoils which took 3 days to collect during King Jehoshaphat’s time.
