ENCOUNTER WITH PASTOR CHE AHN

ENCOUNTER WITH PASTOR CHE AHN

A few years ago, Dr Wilson Lim invited me to a Healing Conference by Pastor Che Ahn in Brisbane, Australia.

The Lord has used Pastor Che Ahn in Healing ministry around the world. His church is called Harvest Rock Church.

I was so blessed to meet Pastor Che Ahn in person. I think it was a divine appointment! I was standing in front of the bookstore at the conference and Pastor Che Ahn suddenly appeared! I did not hesitate and quickly asked him to lay hands on me and pray for the anointing of God. I was so happy to receive prayer from Pastor Che Ahn. I wish I had my camera and video with me on that special night! hehehee

I am reading Pastor Che Ahn book called "How to pray for Healing". He shared 5 importance essentials to move in the gifts of healing:

1. Faith is relational. God wants us to have a personal relationship with Him and have faith in His Word.
"Have faith in God" (Mark 11:22).

2. Faith is revelational. When words of knowledge are given, people's faith is released and many receive healing. "Faith comes by hearing and hearing comes by the Word of God" (Romans 10:17).

3. Faith is risky. We step out in faith and God backs it up. We do the ridiculous and God does the miraculous. Matt. 14:25-30 tells us of when Peter stepped out of the boat and walked on water.

4. Faith is real. We cannot allow what we see or feel to shake our faith.
"Faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see" (Hebrews 11:1).

5. Faith is resolute. Believe for the healing until the healing comes.
"Whatever you ask for in prayer, believe you have received it, and it will be yours" (Mark 11:24).

I highly recommend that you get a copy of this book on healing by Pastor Che Ahn. It is very practical and easy reading. I really love the healing testimonies in this book.

I pray that one day; I can meet Pastor Che Ahn again and tell him how God is leading me to Healing Ministry and through his prayer.

LIVING IN THE REALM OF MIRACLES.

LIVING IN THE REALM OF MIRACLES

Wouldn't it be exciting if you and I began to live in the realm of miracles in our everyday life? Frank Damazio new book called "Miracles" exhorts believers to trust God for it!

"God desires to bring miracles into your life. Miracles prepared for you from the foundations of the earth are on their way to intercept you. Miracles are around us, in us, and through us. This book will inspire your faith, renew your hope, and capture your heart. Frank Damazio not only lays out a clear biblical teaching of miracles, but also true-life stories of miracles taken from his miracle journal." Frank Damazio

I highly recommend this book, it will inspire your faith in God for miracles to occur in your daily life. Our God is a God of Miracles! The bible says "Jesus is the same Yesterday, Today and Forever". The Christ who performed miracles 2000 years ago is still performing miracles in our days.

When the men came to Jesus, they said, "John the Baptist sent us to you to ask, 'Are you the one who was to come, or should we expect someone else?' " At that very time Jesus cured many who had diseases, sicknesses and evil spirits, and gave sight to many who were blind. So he replied to the messengers, "Go back and report to John what you have seen and heard: The blind receive sight, the lame walk, those who have leprosy are cured, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the good news is preached to the poor. Luke 7:20-22

SIMON ABLE TO HEAR AFTER PRAYER


On Saturday night at the Oceania Convention, Pastor Simon asked people who needed prayer for healing to stand up. I walked passed Eric who was praying for Simon's left ear. He was unable to hear properly.

The doctor told Simon that he had loss 50% of hearing in his left ear. There was no possible medical treatment for Simon's ear. It is a good thing that I didn't hear the doctor report! I just laid hands on Simon's left ear and commanded it to be opened in the name of Jesus (Watch Video)



Simon told us that God has miraculously restored his ear and he can hear clearly for the first time. Furthermore, Simon brought his whole family to church for the healing meeting. Simon's mum was healed of mingraine and his sister accepted Christ a few weeks later. Miracles pave the way for people to receive Christ. Glory to God!

MIRACULOUS HEALING IN MELBOURNE

MIRACULOUS HEALING IN MELBOURNE

Pastor Mark and I have known each other for 17 years. He is one of my best friends and a spiritual mentor. We first met each other at a missionary organisation called "Youth With A Mission" in Melbourne, Australia.

Soon, we became like David and Jonathan in the bible at the missionary compound. Our friendship was centred on Knowing Christ and making Him known to others. Pastor Mark went to Indonesia to be a missionary for a few years. When he returned from the mission field, I invited him to join Hope Movement. I am so glad to see Ps Mark joined the movement and latter married to a very godly and beautiful woman - Susan.

I was delighted to conduct the first "Supernatural Sunday" in Hope Melbourne, City Centre. Praise God, we had a record attendance on Sunday and 12 people accepted Christ.

The most remarkable healing testimony was from a Papua New Guinea woman called Sally An Bagita, who had gum disease for 7 years. She wrote a testimony giving a record of progressive miraculous healing and deliverance from satanic curse. (watch video)

I am really inspired by the ministry of Jesus to heal the sick. Jesus preached the gospel and healed the sick wherever he went. Let us believe God for more miraculous healing in our care groups, church, workplace and everywhere we go.

Jesus went throughout Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the good news of the kingdom, and healing every disease and sickness among the people. News about him spread all over Syria, and people brought to him all who were ill with various diseases, those suffering severe pain, the demon-possessed, those having seizures, and the paralyzed, and he healed them. Matthew 4:23-24
SALLY AN BAGITA MIRACULOUS HEALING

Testimony to the outcome of the healing that took place at Hope church, Sth Kensington during the healing ministry of Brother Peter on Sunday, 15/4/07.

15/4/07
During the night, my gums swelled up, so I made salted mouthwash to wash away the blood and ease the pain in my gum. Up until now, I am still using the salt wash. The bad smell in my mouth is just disappearing.

16/4/07
I noticed something different about my face. The fallen bottom jaw has been pulled up and rounded my face. I believe the Lord God replaced the 3 missing bones from my right jaw and inside my head (2 were eaten away by a growth and one was removed by the specialist operating on me in 2001)

22/04/07
I noticed the black streaks on my teeth disappearing. I asked Lily (my daughter in Christ) from Indonesia, as to why my teeth were developing black streaks. She said that "this was the sign of unhealthy gums". During that week, I broke a curse on my gums and my teeth. I mentioned this to Lily. She asked me if I knew who had done it. I said that I didn't have a clue.

26/04/07
I was praying for a request for my son, when the Lord opened up my mind and showed me how the curse happened. We, Papuans, chew betelnut. In 1994, Opa, a young man next door was selling betelnut, so I bought some. I believe that the packet was cursed. A few days later, I stopped chewing it because I felt my gum beginning to feel sore. From that time up to 2001 I began to get sick, I felt dizzy and there were many times where I went on sick leave for 2-3 weeks. But when I would go the doctor, there was no proof of sickness, I was normal. It happened continually until I began to go deaf on my right ear. ENT doctor checked and did X-ray on my head and found I had a big hole just above my ear. This was the curse that I prayed to break.

29/04/07
I noticed my eyes were wide open, not drooping. The whites, that used be red became white and remained white. I mentioned to Lily that during the healing, 2 weeks ago; while the 2 young church workers were praying with me, there was "a Hand" around my right ankle. It was a very tender hold. I was tempted to look, but I could not open my eyes. Last night during my prayer time, the Lord God showed me something. 10 months ago, Geno, a sorcerer, who is my older sister’s de facto tied my right leg (practised voodoo on me) . At that time I was crossing a concrete drain, suddenly my feet went up and I crashed in. About 3 months ago in Melbourne, as Lily and I were crossing La Trobe street, with no one behind me, I crashed into the bitumen (hurt my right leg). Both times "a Hand" reached out to stop me from hurting my upper body. I believe "the Hand" that protected me is "the same Hand" that untied my right leg on Sunday service.

PRAISE GOD FROM WHOM ALL BLESSINGS FLOW ! I asked for one healing and the Lord gave me multiple healings. It's a sign for your ministry. God will multiply all that you do and say in Jesus' Name.

PROPHETIC MINISTRY IN SINGAPORE

Prophetic Ministry in Singapore
During a mission trip to Newcastle-Australia in July 2006, I discovered by incident that God desired for me to start moving in spiritual gifts like prophecy and healing. It was really funny how it all began.

I lost my evangelism books at the airport on the first day of the missions trip. Then, my laptop did not work on the second day of the mission trip. I had nothing to lean on after that! God had removed my evangelism books and laptop so I can learn to listen to the Holy Spirit.

Ever since that mission trip, I tried to exercise my spiritual gift of prophecy as often as I could and as naturally as I can. I am beginning to see the importance of using spiritual gifts to encourage and build God's people in Hope churches.

Apostle Paul said,

I long to see you so that I may impart to you some spiritual gift to make you strong - that is, that you and I may be mutually encouraged by each other's faith. Romans 1:11-12

Follow the way of love and eagerly desire spiritual gifts, especially the gift of prophecy...But everyone who prophecies speaks to men for their strengthening, encouragement and comfort. 1 Cor 14:1-3

We can bless so many people around us when we begin to walk with the Holy Spirit and exercise spiritual gifts. God can use anyone in spiritual gifts but we need to desire for it and our motivation must be based on love for God and others. We don't use spiritual gifts our own gain or recognition but to build up the body of God to fulfil the Great Commission.

I thank God for Ps Jeffery Chong (Hope Singapore) for given me opportunity to exercise and grow in the gift of prophecy. He arranged for me to give prophetic words to various group in the church such as Tertiary students, Family Group, Working Adults, Youth Group and the Filipino Group.

I want to encourage everyone who is reading this blog entry to ask God to use you in spiritual gifts such as prophecy. Start small! Wait upon God for encouraging scripture verses for your sheep or leaders.

Once you start using spiritual gifts, keep going and don't stop even during times of discouragement. Don't worry when you make mistakes. I made plenty of mistakes, I try to move on and learn from my mistakes.

ADULT GROUP - HEALING MEETING

Adult Group - Healing Meeting

Around 300 people attended the Healing meeting from the Adult group in Hope Singapore. Michael and Lean Choo and their district organised this special event. I thank God for opportunity to serve with Michael. He is a man of God and has great faith in God. I believe God is going to use Michael greatly with signs and wonders in the days to come.

I am so blessed to hear that Rebecca got healed at the meeting while worshipping God.
This is her written testimony....

"Rebecca suffered a leg cramp when she went swimming in the morning on that day. The cramp did not leave her but during the praise and worship, God heals her instantly. She felt the pain leave her. To confirm that Rebecca was fully healed, she jumped up and down. Praise God, she was healed even before the altar call for healing! Amen!"

Wow! God is great! He is the God of impossible! We cannot dictate how will God heal people. He healed people in many miraculous ways. Reading Rebecca's testimony really increased my faith in God. Let us believe God to use more people during our praise and worship in church. Amen! Glory to God!

Ascribe to the Lord the glory due to his name; worship the Lord in the splender of his holiness. Psalm 30:2

TERTIARY CAMP, HOPE SINGAPORE

Tertiary Camp, Hope Singapore

The tertiary student ministry in Hope Singapore has really grown over the past few years. Pastor Jasmine Poon invited me to conduct a "Healing Workshop" at the tertiary student camp held at Nexus auditorium on Wednesday afternoon. There were around 200 students at the camp.

Many students came forward to receive prayer for healing. The most notable healing on that day was a student named Jeremy. He has had colour blindness for a long time. Jeremy was unable to see the colour red and after prayer God restored his vision. There was jubilation in the auditorium when Jeremy was able to read the read the red colour digital clock at the entrance to the Nexus auditorium.

All of us at the camp were amazed by the power of God. I am reminded about story of Saul in the bible. He was blinded for 3 days and God used Ananias to restore Saul's vision.

Then Ananias went to the house and entered it. Placing his hands on Saul, he said, "Brother Saul, the Lord - Jesus appeared to you on the road as you were coming here - has sent me so that you may see again and be filled with the Holy Spirit." Immediately, something like scales fell from Saul's eyes and he could see again. He got up and was baptized. Act 9:17-18

I want to encourage all of us to believe God for miracles. God can use anyone! Ananias was reluctant when God called him to pray for Saul. He was afraid of Saul, who was a persecutor of the church. But when Ananias step out in obedience, he performed a miracle by opening the eyes of Saul.

"Miracles happen when we step out in the name of Jesus" Peter Truong

SUPERNATURAL SUNDAY - MANDARIN SERVICE

Supernatural Sunday - Mandarin Service

I really love doing ministry at Hope Singapore Mandarin Service. When I look at all the Chinese families in the church, it reminds me of my own family.

It is so encouraging to see many Chinese parents and grandparents accept Christ through the church. I long to see my own family turn to Christ. Let us believe God's promises for our family's salvation.

In Acts 16:29 says "They replied, "Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved - you and your household"

James Lim is the leader of the Mandarin Service and he is doing a great job. The church is growing because of its love for God, for love for one another and for the lost. James has a passion to see people know the love of Christ.

Thanks God for many that healings occurred in the Mandarin Service. I remembered Uncle Richard's healing. He had rheumatic arthritis - joint pain all over his body. During the prayer time at Healing Workshop, God touched Uncle Richard and he was able to bend his knee. He had tears of joy in his eyes. He came to church on Sunday and gave a testimony of God's healing. (Watch Video)

Pastor Jeffrey joined the Mandarin Service and prayed for people to receive healing. Four people accepted Christ on Sunday. I can imagine the angels in heaven are rejoicing when sinners turn to God!

I tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent. Luke 15:7

SUPERNATURAL SUNDAY - FILIPINO SERVICE

Supernatural Sunday - Filipino Service

The Supernatural Sunday in Hope Singapore, Filipino service was truly amazing! We had over 800 people attended this healing service. Pastor Christine Ong, the leadership team and the church has been investing a lot of prayer into this meeting. Many members invited their pre-believers friends to witness the power of God.

The praise and worship team did a fantastic job ushering the presence of God. The songs chosen by the worship team really help generate faith in God. Recently, I learned that worship play a very important part in bringing the power of God.

In the book of Acts, Apostle Paul and Silas was worshipping God in the prison and then God brought a violent earthquake that unlocked all the prison doors and loosen the chains. Wow!

"About midnight, Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns
to God, and the other prisoners were listenning to them. Suddenly there was such a violent earthquake that the foundations of the prison were shaken. At once all the prison doors flew open and everybody's chains came loose" Acts 16:25-26

Miracles happen when we seek God in prayer and worship. Many people got healed on Sunday night. I had tears in my eyes when I heard a testimony by Marilyn (worship leader) who got healed of hearing impairment on her left ear. She had an ear infection that caused loss of hearing for 5 years. Pastor Christine Ong prayed for Magielyn and God opened her left ear. Praise God! Magielyn had
tears of joy while testifying the goodness of God.
(Watch Video)

Another testimony that really touched my heart was a little boy who had poor vision in his left eye. His father tested the son's eyesight by counting the fingers on the stage. Everyone in the service was overjoy to see the boy vision restored after prayer.(Watch Video)

The greatest miracle on Sunday night was to see
over 50 people accepted Christ during the altar call.

I want to encourage all of us to step out in faith and believe God for signs and wonders. Miracle happen when we step out in the name of Jesus.

SUPERNATURAL FRIDAY -PENNISULA HOTEL

Supernatural Friday:Pennisula Hotel

It was the first time that I have ever conducted Healing meeting at a hotel. I thank God and Pastor Christine Ong from Hope Singapore, Filipino Service for the privilege. Many people turned up at the Healing meeting. I was a bit nervous because of the big crowd and I kept praying in the spirit. I began to pray in the spirit more fervently since God leading me to Healing Ministry.

Apostle Paul said "I thank God that I speak in tongues more than all of you" 1 Cor 14:18 and "May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all." 2 Cor 13:14

I want to encourage all of us to pray in the Spirit and fellowship with the Holy Spirit on a regular basis. We can feel more of God's love, power and anointing when we walk in the Spirit.

One particular gentleman really caught my attention at the Healing meeting. His name is Steven. He was invited by one of the Filipino nurses working in the hospital. Steven is a Christian and he came one hour early to the meeting. He sat patiently for God to heal him. Steven had a stroke that caused numbness in his arm. During prayer, he felt the power of God and he was able to move to arm freely. (Watch the video)

I was overjoyed to see 11 people accept Christ during the altar call and healings. God moves when we seek to advance His kingdom.
