SENSING OF 2022

Blessed 2022 to all! I had been battling with some things in the last few months hence had not been posting. As I was just reviewing my journals and the posts for the past week. I realised that God was trying to tell me after I had been through the fire and water, He is bringing me to a wealthy place. I have been impressed upon this verse about seeing the goodness of God in the land of the living in Jan but along the way with all the assaults, I forgot about it. It was only recently, especially in Dec that the Lord brought this verse to my remembrance. Although it still didn’t see like I had seen much of God’s goodness in the natural, the hope is that I would see more of His goodness before this year ends. 

(When I did the review of 2021, I finally saw the goodness of God. I was blown away because there was so much the Lord did for us this year. More than anything else, the greatest work was inside us. How He changed us, fortified us and sustained us in spite of the opposition and persecution. He has done such a marvellous work of cutting off all bondages in our lives. Bringing us to a place where we can be fearless in Christ. To see His hand at work despite all the evil in the world. To find hope where others see no way out.

 

Though the trials were uncomfortable and we didn’t like it, we made it through by His grace. We didn’t perish in the fire. What didn’t kill us would only make us stronger. God burnt away the ropes of captivity in the fire, gave us true freedom. We had a taste of persecution so we would know how to navigate it in the future. We also testify to God being our provider. How He came through for us when we most needed Him to. Nowadays I can hear His voice more easily, His instructions gave me the courage to move on.)

 

Well it didn’t occur to me that as I was talking about going through the fire and water, the fiery furnace like the Hebrew teenagers, until one of our pastors also preached on this on 19 Dec. And this month the Lord began to talk to me about the wealthy place He is bringing us in 2022. Even though things still seemed dire in the natural, my spirit was stirred up and excited when I caught a glimpse of this wealthy place. The transfer of wealth will begin next year and will accelerate. I had gotten a forecast of this transfer in the past two years but more is to come. 

 

I still didn’t know exactly how God prospered us in the past two years because my focus wasn’t on it. Especially this year, the attacks were mainly in our health. From the recent messages, it seemed like the season of fighting and contending was finally over as we chased out the giants and possessed our land. So the next assignment is to start building. There was a time and season to fight and conquer, but now is the time to build. Exactly what we are building I am still not very sure but God will download the blueprints in the days ahead. 

 

My sense for next year is that it would be a more stable year, less of the roller coaster ups and downs we encountered this year. Either the circumstances would have changed next year or we have changed. Indeed the end of the season has come and we are entering into a new era. There has been much letting go of the past and putting the house in order. To make way for the new things. As the Lord heals our battle wounds and refreshes us before the new year begins, He is also causing us to hope and dream again. 

 

He is raising our expectancy of all the good things we can’t even imagine in 2022. Yes there will be a payback from the enemy. It is a season of great restoration. And there will also be many promises fulfilled. Long awaited promises. Hence it is the time to get my hopes up and press in. Don’t give up or give in. For in just a very little while my long-awaited promise will manifest. After I turned the corner around last Christmas. 

 

The reason for my confidence this time round is based on what God told me: I am coming out of my 13-year wilderness. I have passed the faith test. I have done whatever I knew to do. I have finished the race. I have closed the chapter of waiting. Now what awaits me is the manifestation. This is my reward for being faithful to His promise all these years. God is not a man that He should lie or change His mind.

So yes, I can look forward to the new year with hope because I have already come to the end of the old season. The old has passed away and the new has finally come. No matter how long the journey has been, I had walked to the end of it. During those years of waiting, I used to wonder many times if I could ever make it to the finish line, whether I would be able to endure to the end. Now I know that I have indeed crossed the finish line. There has been a dying, a death of sorts. Passing away of the old season and a part of me died along with it. Yet out of the death comes resurrection life.

As I sought the Lord for His plan in 2022, I began to see how wealth transfer is a recurrent theme. And God bringing us to a wealthy place next year. I still don’t know how things are going to pan out but God is going to bump us up to the next level of prosperity. Where we would not be able to achieve by our own strength. And people will look at us and wonder how we even manage to get there. So yes, financial blessings are going to play a big part in 2022. The other sensing is that 2022 is going to be a year of new beginning hence the restoration of God will take place. 

 

When God restores, it is always better in quality or quantity. So whatever the enemy stole from us in the past two years, God will make him repay us sevenfold. Our family will be very healthy next year because the enemy stole from our health this year. 2022 will also be a year of promises fulfilled where I will see that I hadn't heard God wrongly all these years and that His word really came to pass. 

 

Which was why the warfare was so fierce leading up to the crossover into 2022 because of all the pent-up and delayed blessings in the past decade. The dam was breaking. The walls are crumbling. This time the breakthrough is going to be so huge which was why the enemy was desperately trying to distract us. 2022 will be a repayment of all that I suffered in the 13-year journey. Pursue and overtake, recover all. A restoration of all the shame and pain that I went through. 

 

God will give me double honour for my shame. It will also be a year of launching into my divine destiny. Finally the year that Joseph got called to the palace. I will begin to see that all the preparation and training in the past decade didn’t go to waste. It was to prepare me for such a time like this. There will also be many open doors of opportunities. Be it my personal ministry or Joseph ministry. Hopes deferred will also be broken. An avalanche of blessings will be seen. 

There will also be much freedom in 2022 as all the restrictions would be removed when God cause the pandemic to end and the virus to fade away. Yes 2022 will be a very good year which is why God is so excited and He kept telling me to rejoice and celebrate now. If only you knew what is in store for you, you will not be discouraged or lose hope. You will rejoice now. 

Main themes for 2022:

• Year of giving birth to new things (John 16:21), sorrow turned into great joy
• Acceleration, things moving fast all at once (Amos 9:13)
• This is when harvest time comes, hundredfold return (Mark 4:20)
• Avalanche of blessings began, floodgates of heaven open over us (Acts 10:11)
• Time of restoration and repayment (Joel 2:25)
• Good days ahead because we have been through the fire and water, enemy overplayed his hand (Psalm 66:12)

 

MEDIA MOUNTAIN

I was reading about the first enemy nation of Hittite which was the media mountain to be conquered from Johnny Enlow’s book ‘Seven Mountains of Prophecy’. Well I learnt that the word Hittite comes from the name Heth which means ‘fear’ or ‘terror’. These spirits are having a heyday being released over the air through various news outlets. They are causing more damage than the real terrorists, resulting in men’s hearts failing because of fear.

A disproportionate fear creates a false battlefield. Bad news is Satan’s speciality and twisting news is his delight. His goal is to flood the airwaves with bad news, bringing the battle to his home ground where he can easily pick off the fearful and anxious then inject sickness into a weakened immune system. Satan constantly sets scenarios that distract us from the true battlefields. He uses the media to create infighting and division at all levels of society. 

The evil principality on this mountain are twisting events and making things seem like not so. Their sting is in their tales. They have created a battlefield and convinced us that is where we must act as priority but what they say is far from the truth. Bad news conditions a soul to respond to evil influences while good news condition a soul to respond to a good God. 

 

The airwaves should be filled with that which is good, noble, lovely, of a good report in which the Lord’s school of journalism grows from. Instead of just reporting on a disaster, a positive response to negative news can be highlighted to show the silver lining in every tragedy. It is the kind of narrative or story angle that releases hope. We meditate and are motivated by whatever is before our eyes. 

 

The past few months was a very good depiction of how the enemy was flooding the airwaves with bad news of the pandemic, economic recession and chaos in the world. The confusion and distractions that we faced last year was never experienced before. Firstly there have been many conspiracy theories about the spread of the virus, the end times and the one world government. Though there was an element of truth in some of these reports, the angle in which it was presented was doom and gloom. That was how I knew in my spirit that it couldn’t be from God. 

 

Even believers are playing into the devil’s hands to spread rumours and inject fear into the body of Christ. This is not surprising because the bible already warns us of great deception in the last days. And yes the enemy used the media to cause strife and infighting not just at all levels of society but especially within the body of Christ. It was a major distraction because that battlefield is just a smokescreen, not the real one with spoils. 

 

Amidst all the confusion, I was even more determined to seek the Lord for the truth, for what is actually happening behind the scenes. Deep down I know that God already has a solution for everything that happened. It didn’t catch Him by surprise. And yes His narrative is always one that brings hope to the soul, not doom or gloom. That was how I sensed the talk about rapture coming soon was a cop-out. 

Not that I didn’t believe the rapture was coming in this generation but that it was like the panacea to bring believers out of this troubled world. And the talk about how we have entered into the seven-year tribulation or that the anti-Christ has already surfaced in the world was also not backed by biblical teachings. As long as the church (who is the restraining force) is still in the world, the anti-Christ cannot emerge. 

 

The enemy wanted the believers to buy into this narrative so that we would be helpless and powerless to stand against his wiles. He wanted us to believe that the only way out of all these trials is to look for Jesus to save us through the rapture. That has never been God’s best for us. Besides God is awakening us to the truth of what had been happening in our world. The evil and all the injustices. 

 

Some prophets and great men of God were hoodwinked by believing that God is already finished with this matter and urged the rest of us to repent and move forward. There has never been so much hatred and violence in the world caused by wrongful representation of facts by the media. At some point I didn’t even believe all that the media was telling us. I couldn’t be sure if that was the truth. 

That was when I knew my source of information had to come straight from the Lord. If the Lord said so then it must be true. But if He remained silent or didn’t correct the news then I will take it with some level of credibility. Like for example God never told me that the vaccine was evil or that it bore the mark of the beast. He only said not to worry for He will bring good out of the evil intended by the enemy. 

 

Though this was not exactly God’s best for His people (His best is still divine protection and healing), it has no power to harm the believers. And whatever evil that the enemy has planned, I really don’t think it could succeed. Not with the church praying against it. I have no problem with people trying to uncover the truth but I don’t like the after taste of it causing fear or certain hopelessness. 

 

And many times I find that we are being reactive in our prayers. Some of such news, especially when not verified had the effect of injecting fear and causing us to be distracted from what God has told us or instructed us earlier. Even if the person who circulated the news meant well, the end outcome was not intended by God. Unless the message comes with a solution or a redemptive hope, I would usually dismiss it. Or if it really bothered me so much, I would take it to the Lord and seek an answer from Him. 

 

I encountered the enemy twisting the narrative in my own life. Especially after God has given me a specific word or instruction. The enemy would then bombard me with a totally opposite story angle from what God told me. Even though I knew these were lies and it served to distract me, somehow the negative narrative had an adverse impact on my heart. I felt harassed and frustrated. Only by going back to the Lord can I have clarity over what was truly going on in my life.  

Many lessons served to remind me the importance of guarding our ear and eye gates. It is really for our own good. The constant bombardment of bad news will eventually cause our hearts to fail because of fear and anxiety. And this will affect our health. The lying symptoms will start to appear one by one. Constant bad news will rob one of the peace and joy, causing our souls to be downcast. That is also when we become most vulnerable to depression. Because we cannot see any hope in our situation. 

 

But the truth is there is always hope in Christ. God will not end a story in defeat. He has won the war and we are on the winning side. Yet the enemy kept trying to convince us that we had lost the battle. Honestly he has no power to stop God’s word from coming to pass so the only thing he can do is to cause obstruction and delays so as to wear us out from having too many hopes deferred. He wants to get us to a place where we blame God and give up on the promises. 

 

His ultimate objective isn’t just to rob us of our possession and inheritance, he wants to thwart our relationship with our Abba. He wants to destroy our trust in God so that we could never get back on our feet again. Through constant bad news and fear, he is trying to break our will and our spirit. He hopes to get us to a point where we become bitter with God and turn our backs against God. I have seen this evil tactic in my life. So many times. I have learnt so much about his warfare tactics over the years of being attacked.   

 

I really thank God that when I was so distracted a few weeks ago, He sent word through all the messages to tell me to get back to the secret place. In His presence is fullness of joy. It is only in God’s presence that I was restored to peace and joy. That I began to see things clearly so as not to be affected by the enemy’s lies. And the joy of the Lord is my strength. Indeed I had so much joy spending time with the Lord. I also was able to hear Him more clearly about His plan and instruction for me. 

SEVEN MOUNTAINS PROPHECY

Thank God for leading me to read this book by Johnny Enlow on 1 Feb. It indeed has given me a deeper revelation about how to respond during the end times and answered many questions. I don’t think it was a coincidence that this book was published in 2008, the year when my wilderness journey began. As early as 2008, the prophets were already talking about this seven mountains prophecy and about possessing our inheritance.  

But I didn’t have any understanding about this so even if I read this book back then I wouldn’t have the revelation. Now things are different. I have a hunger to seek an answer to the problems and evil doing that is in the world. I want to know what role I can play in His kingdom. Besides my spiritual understanding has increased over the years. Precept upon precept, revelation upon revelation.

 

So now when I read these books, I can better absorb what the prophets are talking about. These are very real solutions to the issues the world is facing. This book reinforces my understanding about the shaking happening since last year, the great awakening of the church and how the prophetic movement would provide a solution in this new era. I also see how it is a fine line between a revolution for the sake of rebelling against the current world systems versus a well-articulated nature of the replacement system.

 

I was not contented with our reactive way of praying against the many things that seem to threaten our biblical standards, our privacy, loss of freedom and efforts to push us into a one-world government. I felt it was very reactive, like putting out fires. I also didn’t like the notion of coming against all these things without having a bigger picture or a solution to the woes. I want to be clear what I stand for, rather than what I am against. I need a strategic structure or blueprint to guide me through such confusing times. 

 

While I know that some churches need a new wineskin, I don’t wish to give up totally on these mainline churches. I am glad to see that the Elijah Revolution will confront these churches, either resurrecting them or burying them for good. As early as 2008 there was a rapidly expanding house church movement sweeping across US. But some of it carries the spirit of rebellion and independence.

 

I don’t want to be just opposed to the dead church system offering only entertainment but no discipleship, but also to extract the precious from the worthless and allow myself to be built into something definable. I now see why the shaking and a tsunami has come because of this Elijah Revolution that is unstoppable. We need to understand the life of Elijah and how it applies to us today.

 

Bible talks about how Elijah must first come and restore all things but more significantly the last part of the OT in Malachi talked about the returning of the fathers’ hearts to the children and the children’s hearts to the fathers. This showed that a revolution will take place before the Lord returns. It is a grace revolution because its purpose is to avert a catastrophic judgment. And we know the grace revolution had long begun. 

 

I believe the key restoration is for the hearts of the children of God to be restored to our Abba God. Earlier I understood why the need to talk about our relationship with our Father because it has everything to do with inheritance, with possessing these mountains. Another part that was clearly illuminated in this book was the notion of what would happen preceding Jesus’ return. 

 

I have always held on to the notion that there must be a restoration of all things before Jesus returns. It is a restoration of the original intent of God. Jesus is retained in Heaven until the Elijah Revolution is complete. This movement will prepare His Bride for His return, just like how John the Baptist prepared the way of Jesus’ first coming. An original plan and design of God will triumph and establish Him as the Ruler of this earth. It entails the crushing of Satan here on earth before Jesus returns for His bride. 

 

Matthew 22:44 gives us critical information about God’s timing, the until factor. God is saying to Jesus that He will sit at His right hand until God makes His enemies His footstool. He will remain in heaven there as the Head and His body on earth will crush the enemies. The last generation will be the ‘foot’ generation and will rule on earth over His enemies. Until they do so, Jesus is not going back to rescue, save or rapture us. The restoration of all things and making of Satan as a footstool are the same works.

 

Earlier in Jan I wrote this. The great uncovering of the evil works was like a miracle. Things that remained hidden for decades or even centuries were all brought to light. After the initial shock, I saw how this was a very good thing for the Lord was forcing the devil to show hand. The devil’s greatest deception is to make people think he doesn’t exist. Too bad he has been caught! And now he has to repay sevenfold! For this specific battle, I am convinced the devil has lost. It will all become evident in the days and weeks to come.

 

But he will not stop at this. He will bide his time, build his army and try to bring back the one world government agenda in the future. So the church cannot remain passive. We must continue to advance His kingdom in the meantime. We must take our place to pray and watch, binding the enemy’s plans in advance. The Lord will continue to bring us to greater levels of glory. This is truly the beginning of the end before the rapture. 

 

The church will continue to take dominion over the seven mountains and will be in her most glorious state, seeing such miracles and conversions of millions as a daily occurrence. Then the rapture will come and bring us back to Jesus. After we leave this earth, the anti-Christ will rear its ugly head and resume the one world government agenda again. This time round the Illuminati will succeed in world dominion because the restraining force (the Church) is no longer on the earth to stop his plan. Hence the start of the 7-year tribulation. 

 

This is how I see the end time will pan out though I have no indication of the timelines. And it shouldn’t bother me as long as I continue to walk closely with Jesus. I will have no fear of what’s happening in the world because we are not of the world. I know that God will take good care of His people no matter what. Of course those who don’t want His protection He would not force them. In any case, I believe revival has already began. 

 

AN ENCOURAGEMENT TO TRUMP SUPPORTERS

Yesterday wasn’t a good day for many of us. The US Congress has certified and confirmed Biden’s win. It was sad that Mike Pence didn’t object or stand up for Trump. It was also sad that the riots at Capitol Hill was turned into an act of violence though I believe it wasn’t started by Trump supporters. We saw thousands and thousands of people travelling to Washington DC to support Trump but in the end there was such an anti climax for them to go home without seeing the outcome they wanted. 

Even though we knew this wasn’t the end, there was still two more weeks to Presidential Inauguration but still, this wasn’t the outcome we expected. Trump went through all the possible routes like Supreme Court and Congress. He did all that he knew to do. It was all an act to flush out the people who are not for him and not for God. It was amazing how many people, including notable ministers who had turned away from what they initially declared that Trump is God’s choice. 

 

All this just taught me to put my eyes on Jesus rather than on man. At this point all of us are totally powerless. We really didn’t know what else we could do but to look to God. We had prayed, bound, declared and stood on our faith. There is nothing else to do but to continue to stand on what God told us. This is like another test that we have to pass before promotion. 

 

God didn’t tell us to win the election for Trump. That wasn’t the reason why He got us to pray for US. He told us to do our part and He will do His part. I believe we are at this place where all hopes seemed to be gone, everything seemed to be hopeless and dead. Just like the time when Lazarus died. Yet Jesus told Mary in John 11:40 that ‘If only you believed, you would see the glory of God!’ 

 

God is still asking us whether we can believe when all seemed to be lost. Like the defeat seemed to be imminent. Can we still stand on what He said? Can we trust that even though things don’t turn out the way we expected, God’s will is still going to prevail? Eventually God will work all things out for our good. Besides victory is already assured at the cross. It is only a matter of time that He comes on the scene in power and glory.

 

The world, the media, the people behind all these lies and injustices act as though God is dead. But God is very much alive! And He is laughing in heaven at the plans of the evil doers (Psalm 2:4). Though it didn’t seem like victory is on our side in the natural, we ask God to open our eyes to see that more is with us than against us! God is on our side and angels are being dispatched to turn things around now.

 

I don’t believe that God has turned a deaf ear to the millions of His people crying out to Him and praying for truth and justice to prevail in US, even all around the world. I don’t believe His hands are too short to save. I believe there is more than meets the eyes. Right now, God is planning a comeback. The greatest turnaround that no one could imagine. So that when it happens, all the world will know it can only be through the hand of God. 

 

And so this is my response to what happened yesterday at the Congress. I am not giving up on God’s word. I still stand for justice and truth. And I still believe Trump is God’s choice. I believe God is still looking for a group of people, perhaps a remnant who doesn’t give up, who continue to stand and pray. I don’t need to justify my faith to others. I also don’t believe that God needs me to safeguard His reputation or His name. He alone is powerful to defend Himself. He is God. 

 

On the contrary I will praise and worship. I will rejoice in the Lord for victory belongs to us! I ask for eyes of faith to see what God is doing and not what I am watching from the media. This is my encouragement to those who are weary and losing hope right now. This is not over yet! It cannot end on a defeated note. This is not God’s ways. It will always end in victory. We continue to rest in His faithfulness. Watch and see how God comes on the scene! God will turn our sorrow into joy! Those who trust in the Lord will never be disappointed! 

TWO STRONG THEMES FOR 2021

I was just thinking about the initial impressions I had for 2021. This was what I wrote in Dec. 

• Year of giving birth to new things (John 16:21), sorrow turned into great joy
• Acceleration, things moving fast all at once (Amos 9:13)
• This is when harvest time comes, hundredfold return (Mark 4:20)
• Avalanche of blessings began, floodgates of heaven open over us (Acts 10:11)
• Time of restoration and repayment (Joel 2:25)
• Good days ahead because we have been through the fire and water (Psalm 66:12), enemy overplayed his hand 

 

Recently I realised two very strong themes coming out from the messages I had been receiving. The first one was about victory. How we had won the battle. The walls of Jericho came down, the angels marching on the mulberry trees. The attack and battle is over. We shall have rest in our land. We have won. Victory will manifest itself this year. It is time to take the spoils. 

 

The other recurring theme was about harvest. Now is the set time for harvest. We can expect the hundredfold this year. There will be an avalanche of blessings because the heavens are open over us now. The time of waiting for our harvest is finally over. And when the blessings start pouring, they would all happen around the same time. 

 

These are years of pent up blessings so when they start coming, it would seem like a fury. Acceleration because God is making up for the lost time. It would seem like a time of great restoration and repayment for all the pain and trouble we had gone through. The sense that our joy will be turned into sorrow because we had sowed with tears, now we reap with joy.

 

God is also rewarding us for our labour of love and faithfulness to Him. In this new season we shall see much fruit coming out of our lives. The barrenness is over, replaced by fruitfulness and abundance. The drought-stricken areas of our lives will suddenly become fruitful. We shall see that we are like trees planted by the rivers of water. We bear fruit in every season. 

 

This year we shall testify to the goodness of the Lord and His faithfulness. We will say that we have seen the goodness of God in the land of the living. We will acknowledge that His word never returns to Him void. That He is not a man that He should lie, nor a son of man who should change His mind. He has spoken so He would act. 

2020 WAS ONE BIG TEST; SENSING ABOUT 2021

Blessed new year to all and welcome to 2021! I had been asking the Lord about the new year for the past week. The only strong sensing about 2021 was about acceleration and a time of being launched out. In 2020 many people seemed to be put on a pause button but once the pause was released, there would be a pent-up acceleration of God’s plans. 

When God pressed the GO button, just like when He showed me the green light, things cannot be held back anymore. It would be released with a fury, a vengeance of sorts. There would be such a momentum to launch us into our new season. Enough of waiting around. It is going to be action time all the way, from now onwards. We have been in a holding pattern for a long while but get ready to take off. We are no longer stuck.

 

Another sensing about 2021 is that there will be an avalanche of blessings. Like the floodgates of heaven open. A heavy downpour is coming. Also the era of signs and wonders and miracles. Like all the pent-up blessings all these years suddenly released in 2021. And when the miracles reached flood stage, we have to be grounded in His word in order not to be swept away. Keep our focus on Jesus and stay close to Him at all times. Especially during harvest times when things get much busier and hectic.  

 

It just occurred to me that 2020 is one big test. It is like the final exam before promotion or graduation. It is the culmination of what I had learnt in the past 13 years. God prepared this final test before launching me into my new season. So if I passed this test I am positioned to step into my calling. Step into all that God has prepared for me in the next season. It was a big massive test because it was the final one. Along the way I had mini tests to assess my progress but this one would determine if I could graduate. 

 

No wonder God was so pleased that He kept saying well done since Nov. Passing this test was no small feat. It was crucial for God to see if we are truly ready to run with Him in the new season. Also for us to know if we are truly ready. Because we would have known if we passed the test by how we responded during the storm this year. The manifestation is really secondary to Him because that is the easy part. The difficult part is to pass the test and now that we have graduated we really don't have to worry about being released to our new season. 

BE AWAKENED TO SEE THE REAL ENEMY!

I had a dream about Donald Trump the other night after watching the video by Amir Tsarfati on the Illuminati. That video (https://youtu.be/ir2yVa0A9q4) was such an eye-opener. Now as I looked back, I could understand where the attacks were coming from and who Donald Trump was really up against in his fight. It wasn’t just against the Democrats but the Illuminati, the Communists. 

I dreamt that I met President Trump on a horse. But he got down from it and started walking the grounds. I was one of his staff and was following him around. He said he had to get to this other place. He needed to settle some issues with his ex-wife. He had to ask for her forgiveness. 

 

The next scene was us in a marketplace. President Trump was choosing some fruits. Just then I heard a commotion about some old lady who had fallen down. This sister came over to ask if we had anointing oil as they wanted to pray for the old lady. I didn’t have any on me but surprisingly Trump offered his bottle of oil to this sister. It was raining and they were in the open so I offered my umbrella to them. 

 

As I was walking with President Trump, I asked him if he had accepted Christ. He said he accepted Christ quite some time ago. I was relieved to hear that. Then we came to this highway. In fact there were two highways. The first one was a bigger and higher one. The second one was a smaller and lower one but it had a gap in between. No cars were on either highway. 

 

I was looking at the highways when I realised there was this man, a billionaire beside me. Someone of the likes of wealthy businessmen like Mark Zuckerberg. He was telling his man that he wanted to move to the place where the rich and wealthy lived so that he could use this dedicated highway for the rich when it was completed. In fact he was willing to pay money to get the highway completed. In my heart I was thinking what an elitist! 

 

I believe God has encountered Trump and he was learning to let go of his past mistakes, seeking forgiveness when necessary. Trump had gotten off the ‘high horse’ and was learning to humble himself. But the most important message about my dream was that Trump had received Christ. He is now a new creation. He even had the anointing oil with him. The other thing was about the two highways. The one which the elitist was using was currently broken and they were seeking to repair it. 

 

I believe my dream was influenced by the video on the Illuminati. That was the real dark forces behind the scenes. They had their own commandments and the first one was to keep the world population below 500 million. No wonder they were orchestrating the wars and the abortion laws! Perhaps this virus was also orchestrated by them to wipe out a part of the world’s population. 

 

They believed that in order to have a better quality of life on earth, there cannot be too many people on this earth. It was also no wonder why they kept the poor even poorer so they had no access to good healthcare services and died young as a result. In part, the wealth gap was all along their intention so that they could get even richer and more powerful. 

 

Their purpose was to move the world towards a one world government. One of the ways they tried to gain control was through communism. In fact at one point, their people were so desperate for a world leader who could alleviate their problems that they didn’t mind if this person came from Satan. 

 

Indeed Satan worshippers in the Illuminati were getting more blatant as people’s hearts grew cold towards God. The moral standards had been so eroded from 20 years ago. The Illuminati also had some esoteric symbols that only the intellectuals knew. These symbols were lightning, the one eye, the pyramid and the yin and yang logo etc.

 

Then there was this infiltration of the Illuminati in the media and entertainment. Things that our youths are exposed to. How would they know otherwise? It was so subtle unlike the things of God which are so out in the open. Later I also understood why the enemy wanted the church to be asleep, to be passive waiting for the rapture. The church is the restraining force for the anti Christ. Unless she is taken out of this world the enemy cannot have his way on the earth. The one world government cannot come to pass. 

 

Besides once the church was taken out of this world the population would be greatly reduced. The rest of the world would then head towards the great tribulation under the tyrannical control of the beast. The world is really hoodwinked thinking that God is their enemy and Satan is their saviour. What a big fat lie from the pit of hell! No wonder the enemy didn't come against the teaching about the rapture to happen sooner. He didn't mind us being raptured.

 

What the enemy was coming against was the church being awakened and taking authority in the seven mountains. That would delay or halt the enemy's plan of moving the world into the one world government. He knows his time is short. The enemy didn't want the billion soul harvest to come to pass. He tried so hard to come against the great revival, the restoration of glory back to the church. It is God's plan for His church to arise and take possession of this earth before the rapture or before Jesus comes back again.

 

We are not waiting for Jesus to take us out of the sufferings of this world. That would be a cop out. We are waiting for the taking back of dominion over this world. We must arise and be violent in taking back what rightfully belonged to us. God is also training us to reign with Him in the coming millennial rule with Jesus. After we have accomplished our mission on this earth to usher in the great revival and bring in the greatest harvest of souls then the rapture would come. It would be a glorious finish not a cop out. 

 

The Illuminati has existed for centuries and taken many different forms. But at its core was rebellion against Abba God through satanic worship. The church is no more an infant but we have come of age. We have weaned from milk and feeding on solid food. The enemy has the body of Christ hoodwinked by turning against each other while the Illuminati grew stronger all this time. We forgot that our enemy is not against flesh and blood but principalities and dark powers. They are united while we are disunited. What a deception! We need to be awakened to see the real enemy!

 

I also saw how the plan of the enemy was to keep the church powerless by focusing their attention on challenges like trying to get rich, health and relationships issues. The enemy tried to keep the church poor, barren and constantly distracted so we could never rise up to what God has for us. We are hoodwinked by all the issues we can see with our natural eyes forgetting that there is a spiritual aspect to all our struggles. This era God is opening our eyes to see the enemy's plans. And if we align ourselves to His plan, know our calling and seek first His kingdom, He will take care of all these challenges. 

 

I forgot to add that after watching the video, I had a clearer picture of who Trump was coming up against and no wonder the resistance was so strong. He was not coming against the Democrats or Joe Biden but the Illuminati. He was getting to the roots of the swamp. The hidden and anonymous rich elites behind the scenes manipulating the financial markets, media and politics. It was clear that the enemy was rearing its ugly head in recent months. God was forcing the evil to come up to the surface. 

 

But I had a sense that God is coming on the scenes very soon. He has been doing something behind the scenes all this while and He will show His hand very soon. The enemy is always many steps behind our Lord. He is a defeated foe. Jesus has already won the victory for us. And the word I received about Trump was to pursue and overtake. Don’t give up, don’t concede. The battle is not over yet. The enemy may seem like he is winning but this is all a façade. If Trump can pursue and overtake like King David did at Ziklag, then he would surely recover all. The spoils would be tremendous.

 

 

 

REJOICE AND CELEBRATE!

In my previous post, I was talking about how God will not mislead or disappoint us, after the election news came out, Holy Spirit reminded me of Romans 8:28, that God works all things out for our good. Even though I can’t see it, God is still working things out behind the scenes and this calls for our trust in Him.  

The real test of trusting in God is whether we can rest in the midst of the raging storm. In the midst of the contrary circumstances screaming in our faces shouting: You have lost! But no, we still hold on to our stand that this is not over until God shows up and we have the final victory. 

 

This is the fight of faith between our prayers and the manifestation. Often during a delay many believers would give up thinking that it wasn’t God’s will. Or that they accepted an outcome which was second best. Not what God had intended or told us at the beginning. This is where the segregation between the two spies and the rest becomes more stark. Whose report do you believe in?

 

Well, this is where God identifies His remnants. Those who will stand by His word in the face of adverse circumstances. Those who sees from His perspective. This is the line drawn in the sand. I thank God I am identified as one with the remnant. I also believe that the same group who trusted God in the appointment of Trump will be the same people who will go on to possess their mountains in the days to come. This is a training ground.

 

God is so good. In the past although I already knew Trump was God’s appointed vessel, I wasn’t too sure why it was so. But over the last few months as we prayed for him and US, I began to understand the reasons for supporting Trump. He is pro-Israel, pro-life and pro-family. Indeed we should judge the man according to his fruits and not his personality. Not only that in recent weeks Trump had been bold enough to acknowledge Jesus on national TV. 

 

Do you think that God will forsake one of His own elect? Never! Besides God’s name is at stake here and He will execute justice. Indeed it is not over until Jesus shows up and win the day! Oh I am so looking forward to that day! I pray that God will come forth speedily! God sees the hearts of those who stand by His word and He will show Himself strong on their behalf. 

 

But what do we do in the interim, after offering up our prayers for Trump and seeing the manifestation of the victory? The Lord said we can start rejoicing and celebrating. We should spend our time in praise and worship besides praying and declaring His word. That is the only way we can keep our minds focused on Jesus and not get bombarded by all the negative news. That is the way to remain in peace and rest as we wait. Or else we will get swayed by every whim and fancy. 

 

In fact if you truly have Heaven’s perspective, you will start rejoicing and celebrating because you know it is a matter of time that God turns the tide on the enemies. Their celebration and rejoicing is short-lived. Very soon everything will become moot. They will be made a laughing stock. I believe that the media will be forced to admit they made a mistake in reporting the election results. 

 

I was also reminded of Ezekiel 12:28, which God impressed upon me in 2011. Therefore say to them: ‘Thus says the Lord God: None of My words will be postponed anymore but the word which I speak will be done, says the Lord God.’ This was in the context of Ezekiel giving a word from the Lord that had tarried. The people of Israel mocked him saying that he was a false prophet, asking where was the fulfilment of the word God had given. 

Indeed Lord we pray for You to bring a speedy fulfilment of the word You gave to Your prophets! Let them not suffer shame but give them the due honour! We know that man’s unbelief will not nullify Your word for it is forever established in heaven. As it is established in heaven, so let it be done on earth!

THE MATRIX

Last night while praying in tongues I was impressed upon the word ‘Matrix’. I looked up the meaning and it says ‘the cultural, social or political environment in which something develops.’ And it comes from a Latin word called womb. A matrix is actually a womb. It is also the substance between cells or in which systems are embedded. 

Well the reason why I thought about matrix was how I realised over the last few months that we have been indoctrinated with the teachings of this world. It could be our upbringing, the culture and traditions that we grew up with. Plus our own life experiences. But these are not the truth. Only God’s word is truth. 

 

It takes a renewing of our minds to accept what God is trying to tell us (Romans 12:2). In the movie ‘The Matrix’, the red and blue pill was presented to Neo, the protagonist of the story. One pill could bring him to a rabbit hole of rude awakening to the world he lived in but that was the truth. If he took the blue pill he would return to a state of ignorant bliss. 

 

In The Matrix, Neo hears rumours of the Matrix and a mysterious man named Morpheus. Neo spends his nights at his home computer trying to discover the secret of the Matrix and what the Matrix is. Eventually, another hacker, Trinity, introduces Neo to Morpheus.

Morpheus explains to Neo that the Matrix is an illusory world created to prevent humans from discovering that they are slaves to an external influence. Holding out a capsule on each of his palms, he describes the choice facing Neo:

 

‘This is your last chance. After this, there is no turning back. You take the blue pill—the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill—you stay in Wonderland, and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes. Remember: all I'm offering is the truth. Nothing more.’ 

 

As narrated, the blue pill will allow the subject to remain in the fabricated reality of the Matrix; the red serves as a "location device" to locate the subject's body in the real world and to prepare them to be "unplugged" from the Matrix. Once one chooses the red or blue pill, the choice is irrevocable.

 

This year I felt like I had taken the red pill because I had a rude awakening to the world I lived in. I was shocked to learn that what I thought about the world was not the case. There are so many hidden evils, injustices and discrimination even right in my own backyard. I might have been too naïve to believe what people tell me as I always look for the good. Yet God is telling me that things are not always what it seems to be. 

 

I wondered if it was good to be living in ignorant bliss so there would be less discomfort but I remembered Hosea 4:6 says ‘My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge’. Hence the dangers of choosing to remain in ignorance. What you don’t know could hurt you or burst your bubble. Would you rather be prepared or be caught by surprise like birds caught in the net? 

 

What then is the matrix in today’s context? Could it be the system we are unconsciously born into? Increasingly during this year I realised that we, even the believers could unknowingly be subjected to an external influence that we are not aware of. In recent months, we have heard of many conspiracy theories and the New World Order. At the apex of the evil is this organisation called Illuminati. I had to look up the internet for the definition.

 

“Illuminati" has referred to various organisations which have claimed or have been claimed to be connected to the original Bavarian Illuminati or similar secret societies, though these links have been unsubstantiated. These organisations have often been alleged to conspire to control world affairs, by masterminding events and planting agents in government and corporations, in order to gain political power and influence and to establish a New World Order. 

 

Central to some of the more widely known and elaborate conspiracy theories, the Illuminati have been depicted as lurking in the shadows and pulling the strings and levers of power in dozens of novels, films, television shows, comics, video games, and music videos. Although no one can truly verify if such secret organisations do exist, I am very sure the mastermind behind this New World order is the devil himself. 

Recent world events have opened my eyes to a reality that I never saw in my entire life. It was truly an awakening even for a mature believer like me. I might have been hoodwinked all this while. And yes I believe there is another world that we should be contending with. A system that is not flesh and blood but originating from the principalities and the dark powers of this earth. The spiritual world is very real whether we see it or not. 

 

I don’t want to give too much weight to the enemy but it suffice to bring a point across that there are more things going on in the world that we think. It is true that God is causing His people to awaken to current events in the world, to their lives and to the financial plan God has for His Kingdom. Those that are awakening during this time, who feel like their eyes are being opened to truth they haven't seen before, will feel led on their journey by God's prompting. 

 

For the past few months, I have been on a path of discovery I never thought I would be on, researching answers that I would never bother in the past. I never used to care about world affairs or politics but the Lord has been bringing such things to my attention. After all I see myself as a simple homemaker. Yet during this time He is accelerating the process and directing my path to discover revelation and truth. It is now time for the church to be awakened to His plan, and so He's making it possible. I was once comfortable in my complacency, apathetic to what was really going on around me.

 

And like in the movie ‘The Matrix’, this revelation is irrevocable. Once you see it, you cannot ‘unsee’ it so to speak. You cannot pretend that things are still the same and go back to your old ways. The purpose that God is revealing this truth about the world is so that I can have a response and play a part in the future. Right now I am still on the path of discovering the truth and what I am doing is to ask for more wisdom and revelation. The next step would be to partner with God to know how to pray for His kingdom coming on earth. To pray out His will on earth as it is in heaven.  Yes it had been an unnerving experience but truly the adventure of my life. 

 

CO-LABOURING WITH GOD

Recently I had been thinking about this notion about co-labouring with God. I was trying to distinguish between what blessings (like our salvation, deliverance and healing) coming to us freely because of the finished work in Christ and what blessings we need to co-labour with God. I believe God is making it more clear to me in the last few years.  

Now it occurred to me that there are things we have to co-labour with God. You may have heard this saying: without God we cannot, without us He will not. I believe one of the things we have to cooperate with Him is in the area of our divine destiny. This isn’t something that will just drop unto our laps by chance. Do you know why?

 

It is because the enemy will work overtime to stop you from walking in your calling. He will put up a fight. He will try relentlessly to take you out or make you ineffective. The enemy is fighting against the timing of God and the manifestation of His promises in your life. The enemy is terrified of you stepping into that territory and the realm of increase. That is why some people lose faith in prophetic words. They think that once the word is given, things will just fall into place. 

 

What they don’t know is that there is usually a season of contending for the prophecy. They have to war against the enemy’s opposition and stand their ground. Fight the good fight of faith. So the next question is why does God allow such a time of testing and contending? Why can’t He just deliver us from the enemy instead of letting us face the giants? Why can’t He just wipe out the giants at a snap of His finger?

 

Well, just like He told the Israelites that the land had already been given to them but they still had to physically take it. God didn’t remove all the giants at once. Instead He was teaching them to rely on Him every step of the way as He guided them in combat strategy to take the land. Unlike the deliverance from Egypt, where God knew the children of Israel would not have the power to stand up against their Egyptian taskmasters. 

 

Hence He performed mighty works to deliver them and destroyed the Egyptian armies in the Red Sea. Yet that wasn’t His best for them. He needed His people to grow strong. Even if He killed all the giants in the promised land, there would still be wild animals that the children of Israel had to contend with. He had to cause them to take the land little by little because the population of the Israelites wasn’t populous enough to occupy all the land.

 

You see, that is why the Lord had to build our faith little by little in order to grow us to the level of maturity to take our own promised land. Because if our character wasn’t strong enough, the success might only be temporary. We might take the land only to have it stolen by the enemy again. In the book of Joshua, it said that when the Israelites took the land but didn’t occupy it, very soon the giants came back to dwell on it like Mount Hebron. 

 

I have learnt that though this earth belongs to God, the title deed was given to the enemy because of Adam’s high treason. Adam gave over the right of this earth to Satan. But thank God that Jesus took it back for us. Yet in the natural there are portions of this world that still belonged to Satan’s dominion so we have to cooperate with Christ to take it back. So even though we already have an inheritance in Christ, we still need to co-labour with God to take back that inheritance. There is still a part for us to do. 

 

Well then some may ask: isn’t it all a finished work at the cross? Why then do we still have to play a part? Isn’t that considered works? Not that isn’t works or our flesh. That is the part about working out our salvation in Christ. (Philippians 2:12) We are not working for our salvation but working it out. Just like all authority has been given to us by Jesus but how many of us are walking in that authority? How many of us are exercising that dominion? 

 

The grace of God is not passive. It isn’t us sitting there doing nothing. It is us actively obeying and working hand in hand to establish His kingdom on earth. To see His will being done on earth as it is in heaven. Some people may say: Well, I am not cut out to be a soldier. I cannot fight. I am not combat ready. I am a civilian. Well, let me tell you this. You will have to learn to fight whether you like it or not. 

 

The enemy would not let you off even if you are not a soldier. He hates you because you are a child of God. As long as he can see the threat of your calling or destiny in Christ, he will take you out before you get to walk in that calling. And everyone of us has a calling, be it big or small. Everyone of us has a part to play in the body of Christ. So I exhort you to go and ask God to show your role in the body of Christ. 

 

So why it is so necessary for God to train you to a place of overcoming faith? Why is that so important? Because once you obtain victory in this area where you had been constantly bullied, God will bring you on to greater exploits in His kingdom. You can then show others how to obtain victory in the area of their bondage. You will have a breaker anointing. He is doing a hidden work of refining your faith which is far more precious than gold. 

 

Like how God has proven me time and again that I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. All I had to do is to cooperate with His Spirit and success is guaranteed. God is patient with me...He can take as long as is required for this work to be completed in my life. This is more crucial than the manifestation of the promise because then I would be truly set free from the age old strongholds.

PROPHETIC INTERCESSION IN DREAMS

I noticed in my recent dreams, I had been praying and ministering to people and when bad things happened, I would immediately bind it in my dreams. I would also bind the enemy's plans after I woke up just in case I forgot to do it in my dreams. Nowadays my dreams are interactive, which means that I am somewhat conscious of what is happening and can participate in it. I was no longer passive in my dreams or being carried along with the flow of the dreams. I could 'will' the dream to take on the direction I wanted.

This morning I had a dream where I found myself in Hong Kong. It was like I was teleported there. I saw for my own eyes how bad the situation was in Hong Kong and my heart went out to the people there. So I bound the works of the enemy in that place and covered it with the blood of Jesus. When I woke up, I suddenly had this revelation that taking authority over a region for Jesus need not be limited to my waking hours.

 

Even in my dreams, God can still work out His redemptive plans through my prayers. He can still use me to pray against the enemy in my dreams. Wow! This was like a whole new level for me! This means that even when I dream, I can do warfare and take new grounds for God. Whatever I dreamt of, things really happened in the spiritual realm. When I experienced a breakthrough in my dreams, it would affect and change the course of my waking life. Isn't this amazing!

 

I still don't have control over what I dream about. It is God who is orchestrating it. But I can cooperate with Him be it in my waking hours or in my dream. I just avail myself for His use. This notion of taking authority over the enemy is not just limited to our consciousness, but also in our dreams. In fact, dreams are spiritual because we have no control over it and they are more real than things we see in our daily lives. Besides it is in the spiritual realm that battles are fought and won.

 

Mastery over our dreams just means that we have become more effective in prophetic prayers because we are not limited by our flesh in our dreams. Since dreams are supernatural, we are not affected by our natural senses. Not only that even if bad things happened in our dreams, we still have a chance to bind them and change the course of things in our waking lives. It is like a second chance. God is giving us advance notice to learn about the enemy's plans and to foil them before they get to manifest in the natural. In a way I realised that dreams could be a powerful spiritual weapon, just like speaking in tongues, worship or declaring God’s word.

 

I haven't fully grasped the life-changing effect of this revelation of doing warfare in dreams. But this is just the beginning. Yet I know this revelation is so powerful. A game-changer. The enemy must be cringing now. Not only is the Lord downloading blueprints and strategies but He is teaching us to do warfare in our dreams to secure the victory in the spiritual realm so that we would not be caught unawares in our waking time. The good thing is also possibly less warfare in our conscious life.

WHAT IS ACTUALLY HAPPENING NOW?

Last night I was reading the book ‘The Harvest’ by Rick Joyner. It was an old book first published in 1987 and revised in 2007. I read it many years ago when I first began my stay home season in 2011 but I could never really understand what he was talking about. But now, as I have grown in wisdom and understanding, I began to see what he was saying. It was all about the end time harvest. 

In his book, I gained a better revelation of what is truly happening now, in the midst of so much confusion and speculations of end times, rapture and Jesus’s second coming. I also made some sense of the conspiracy theories going on right now. When declaring events that would signal the end of the age, he said the Lord told him that these were ‘beginning of birth pangs’ (Matthew 24:8). The harvest and accompanying events have been unfolding and will continue to unfold just as travail comes upon a woman in labour. 

The closer one gets to the birth, the more intense and frequent the contractions become. The first contractions signalling the end of the age actually occurred several hundred years ago with the beginning of the Reformation. Over a two hundred years passed before there was another, then a hundred years, then decades. Soon it will be just years between the contractions with each one becoming significantly more intense.

During the ‘transition’ stage, when the baby is entering the birth canal, the mother usually goes through severe disorientation. At this point in time, it helps for the mother to have a ‘focal point’ on which to concentrate on. It is also essential for the mother to heed the instructions of the labour coach (usually the husband) and to obey them regardless of her pain or feelings.

Likewise it is important for the church to look at her focal point and resist being distracted from it. The Lord used ‘birth pangs’ to describe the unfolding of these times because it is an appropriate metaphor. Sadly the church being ignorant of the actual process through which she is going through, has often continued to follow her natural instincts instead of the voice of the Lord.

This has caused her to strive counterproductively through much of the process, leaving her now weary and expended as we enter the most critical stage of delivery. It has never been more urgent for the church to concentrate on her ‘focal point’, the ultimate purpose of God, that she might bring many new sons and daughters to birth. She must become obedient to the instructions of her husband Jesus.

Beginning with Martin Luther, each spiritual contraction resulted in a major, basic Christian truth being restored to the church, as well as one of the fivefold ministries given for the equipping of the saints. With the beginning of the Reformation, the pastor was restored to recognised ministry. Over two hundred years later, the evangelist was restored with the Wesleys, and gained general recognition and acceptance.

The Pentecostal and Latter Rain revivals began the restoration of the gifts of the Holy Spirit but it was not until the Charismatic and Third Wave Renewals that the teaching ministry was fully restored. Teaching was the primary emphasis and a much greater anointing came upon this ministry during these movements. Rick Joyner said that the next spiritual contraction will bring about the restoration and recognition of the prophets, which is what happening now. The next move will be the restoration of the apostolic authority. The ministry that opened the church age will also be the one that closes it. 

It is also during the transition stage that a remarkable clarity of purpose and strength return to the mother. This is the time to push until the baby comes forth. Like the manner in which birth pangs come upon a woman, there will be times of great intensity and advancement in the church followed by periods of rest. There will be upheavals in the world followed by times of relative peace. There are general patterns that the whole church and the whole world will be moving towards though at different paces, the church will be increasing in light and power while the world will be sinking into unprecedented darkness.

Well, there is so much more in his book but I think I will just stop here. There is so much to unpack in just this one chapter. After reading this chapter, I become more convinced that no, this is not the end of ages yet. No, the rapture is not going to happen anytime soon. I am sorry to disappoint some people who have been so earnestly waiting for Jesus to come back for them but no, now is not the time yet. We are close to the day of the Lord but not yet.

So what is happening right now is that the church is going through birth pangs. And as each wave gets more intense, we are closer to the birth of a new movement. The earth is also groaning in pain for the manifestation of sons and daughters of God. Even in child labour, the mother often thought she was going to die but quite contrary, she was birthing new life. This is exactly what the church is going through now.

After identifying what is really happening now, the next important thing is how we should respond. What we should do. As mentioned by Rick Joyner we should have a ‘focal point’. We should listen to the voice of our husband Jesus and do what He says, instead of looking at our pain or feelings. Yes I understand that in times of prolonged labour, the woman can easily lose her strength and become weary. When the time comes for her to give the final push, she couldn’t because she had expended all her energy earlier on.

But the Lord is gracious. It is also during the transition stage of birth that He imparts clarity of purpose and a second wind to the church. If only we could be still and know the Lord, stop running around and cut off all distractions, we will be able to hear the Lord’s voice. We will then be able to receive instructions and strategies to know what to do next. What we focus on will manifest. That is where our expectations will take us. When we become still, we will be able to hear our Shepherd’s voice more clearly.

During this dark season, I have discerned this one thing. Many believers who are very knowledgeable about the word of the God might not be necessarily equipped to hear His voice especially on issues like end times, rapture and Second Coming. This is hardly surprising because the bible is not very clear on such issues and the language used is metaphorical. 

Besides there has been many differing views on the timing of the rapture or even the Second Coming. The books of Daniel and Revelation are not easy to understand. Even the prophets who can shed light on such issues are only given a part of the puzzle. Prophets know in part and prophesy in part. Not one person has the whole picture. Maybe because we haven’t come to the end of times yet. I believe in the days to come, as we are nearing the end of times, the Lord will make things even clearer.

Well, to me, rather than speculating on when rapture will come or trying to establish if we are living in the end of times, why not focus our energies on what we should be doing. Why not be more intentional about how we number our days? Why not ask the Lord what is our purpose here on earth and how to better equip ourselves for the future?

What I know is while this pandemic will blow over, other crisis will still pop up in future. Such is the nature of the end times we are living in. Life will never really go back to normal. How then should we be responding? Ask the Lord to show you what is He birthing in the church and what He is birthing in us. I believe that the next important thing is to equip the believers. In sharing the gospel, healing the sick and driving out demons.
