A MIRACLE GOD

This week, I started the first healing meeting of 2009 at Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. We had healing meetings on Wednesday night (Hope Serdang), Friday night (Hope PJ Working Adults) and Sunday morning (Hope PJ Mandarin Service). The Spirit of God was present to heal and set people free. On Wednesday afternoon, I went to Serdang hospital with some friends to pray for a lady. This lady was admitted to the hospital because of pain in her body. We prayed for God to remove the pain from her body. After the second prayer, she was able to sit up from the hospital bed and felt much better. Praise God; the next day, she was discharged from the hospital.

A sister who received prayer two years ago because she had a large cyst in her womb. After her check-up, the doctor said the cyst in her womb is gone. Glory to God!

Today in Hope PJ Mandarin church, I preached a message entitled "Good News for 2009". I encouraged the church members and visitors to believe God for great things in 2009 despite the economic crisis. As Christians we have a living Hope. Our hope is in the living God.

I preached a sermon from Mark 16:1-6:

When the Sabbath was over, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices so that they might go to anoint Jesus' body. 2Very early on the first day of the week, just after sunrise, they were on their way to the tomb 3and they asked each other, "Who will roll the stone away from the entrance of the tomb?"

But when they looked up, they saw that the stone, which was very large, had been rolled away. 5As they entered the tomb, they saw a young man dressed in a white robe sitting on the right side, and they were alarmed.

"Don't be alarmed," he said. "You are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who was crucified. He has risen! He is not here. See the place where they laid him.

Jesus is Alive! He has risen! He is no longer in the tomb. We need to believe that Jesus is alive today and He is able to help us in all areas of life such as family, job, business, ministry and health. God is not dead as some believed. He is still alive. He is only a prayer away. Let us turn to God in these trouble times and receive His provision and blessings.

The resurrection of Christ means...

1. We can receive blessings from God

Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ. Ephesians 1:3

And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Son may bring glory to the Father. John 14:13

2. We can receive healing from God

He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; by his wounds you have been healed. 1 Peter 2:24

3. We can receive forgiveness from God

She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins. Matthew 1:21

FLYING OFF AGAIN

This week is my last week in Brisbane, Australia before flying off to overseas again. I am getting ready for another five weeks of healing ministry in Malaysia and Philippines. I will be traveling to three cities in Malaysia (Kuala Lumpur, Penang and Malacca) and two cities in Philippines (Manila and Davao). I spent sometimes on the Saturday in worship, prayer and fasting. Seeking God for guidance and direction for the healing meetings. I am believing God for more anointing and the leading of the Holy Spirit over the next five weeks....

Partnership with the Holy Spirit

I really want to partner more with the Holy Spirit in 2009 during the healing meetings. Here are four areas that I need the Holy Spirit;

• Holy Spirit giving power
  

The power of healing does not come from human but come from the Holy Spirit. No one can heal without the anointing of the Holy Spirit. So I want to spent more time waiting on the Holy Spirit to give me the power to minister healing to people (Acts 1:8).

Acts 1:8 (New International Version)

But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth."

• Holy Spirit giving spiritual gifts
  

The gifts of the Holy Spirit is essential for healing ministry. The Holy Spirit wants to pour of spiritual gifts such as, message of wisdom, message of knowledge, faith, gifts of healing, miraculous powers, prophecy etc (1 Cor 12:7-11).

1 Corinthians 12:7-11 (New International Version)

7Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good. 8To one there is given through the Spirit the message of wisdom, to another the message of knowledge by means of the same Spirit, 9to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by that one Spirit, 10to another miraculous powers, to another prophecy, to another distinguishing between spirits, to another speaking in different kinds of tongues,[a] and to still another the interpretation of tongues.[b] 11All these are the work of one and the same Spirit, and he gives them to each one, just as he determines.

• Holy Spirit giving revelation
  

The Holy Spirit will give revelation from the Father during the healing ministry. I need to listen to the Holy Spirit to speak to me when praying for people. What is the cause of sickness? How God wants to heal this person? How can I follow the Holy Spirit to create an atmosphere of miracle? (John 14:26).

John 14:26 (New International Version)

26But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you.

• Holy Spirit giving love
  

The bible says love in the most important element in a Christian. Love for God and love for others. I really want to demonstrate God's love during the healing ministry. I know that I am quite limited in the area of love. I need God to fill me with His everlasting love and compassion for people who are in need. Today, I pray for two people in church with serious illness. I feel God's love for them as I pray for their healing (Romans 5:5).

Romans 5:5 (New International Version)

5And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us.

I pray that you will also grow in your partnership with the Holy Spirit in 2009. Let us rely on the Holy Spirit more and more in our family, work and ministry.

THE JOY OF THE LORD

We had our first Australia day celebration service in Brisbane. Chris Bee and the team did a great job organising this event. We had a sausage sizzle before the event and everyone had a great time of fellowship. Pastor Lance amused everyone with his wonderful sense of humour. with his humor. I thank God for his life; he is my spiritual mentor. Pastor Wilson gave a wonderful message about Australia and its history and how God wants to bring His blessings to this nation.

In 2009, I desire to have more "Joy of the Lord". I am learning about the "Joy of the Lord" from my online bible college course. Joy is not based on the things happening about us but base on knowing and trusting in God. Here are some of the ways we can receive joy

• We receive joy by abiding in God and the Holy Spirit (Romans 14:17)

For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking, but of righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit, Romans 14:17

• We receive joy by the Word of God (Psalm 19:8)

The precepts of the LORD are right, giving joy to the heart. The commands of the LORD are radiant, giving light to the eyes. Psalm 19:8

• We receive joy by trusting God (Psalm 5:11)

But let all who take refuge in you be glad; let them ever sing for joy. Spread your protection over them, that those who love your name may rejoice in you.

• We receive joy by serving others (Luke 10:17)

I received a wonderful news this week that bring joy to my heart from a friend. God answered her prayer to have baby after trying for a few years. This news brought joy to my heart because I was a part of praying for this miracle. I want to encourage everyone to serve God with great faith because we have a miracle working God.

He wants to bring joy to everyone through His love and power.

CHRISTMAS & NEW YEAR IN AUSTRALIA

My new year's resolution was to start and complete a "Diploma of Christian Ministry and Theology at an online bible college. After much encouragement from Pastor Wilson and friends, I decided to apply for bible college study in 2009. I thank God for my church friends who really motivated me to do this course. I have completed one module called "Focus on God" and almost finish the next module "Evangelism". I am learning and growing in God through this adventure. If you ever get a chance to study at an online bible college, I highly recommend it.

I really want to be adventurous and daring in 2009. I want to attempt new things for God that go beyond my limitations and fear. I guess life is too short to live within our comfort zones. We need to step out into the unknown and see God move in our lives.

Philippians 4:13 (Amplified Bible)

13I have strength for all things in Christ Who empowers me [I am ready for anything and equal to anything through Him Who infuses inner strength into me; I am self-sufficient in Christ's sufficiency].

I went to Gold Coast for five days over the New Year period to seek God. I thank Tom and the brothers at ministry house for their hospitality. One thing that God spoke to me the most was to believe Him for greater personal victory and anointing in healing ministry for 2009. I was desperate before God in prayer. I asked Him to use me as a channel of His blessing to the nations like Abraham in the bible.

Genesis 12:2 (Amplified Bible)

2And I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you [with abundant increase of favors] and make your name famous and distinguished, and you will be a blessing [dispensing good to others].

My prayer is for all of us to receive great blessings from God: an abundant increase of God's favour so that we can be a great blessing to our family, friends, community and to the world.

GREATER ANOINTING IN 2009

I am writing this blog at the beautiful Gold Coast, Australia. It is about an hour's drive from Brisbane. I am having a 4 day holiday in Gold Coast. It is very hot and humid at the Gold Coast. I love being at the beach because of the cool sea breeze. I have been seeking God for direction in 2009. I really want God to show me more of His glory and power in 2009.

I really thank God for 2008. He has blessed me in so many ways. I had the privileged to travel to so many countries around the world. I went to Indonesia, the Philippines and South Korea for the first time. I shared the Good News with up to 5000 people around Asia and Australia. God performed many emotional and physical healings through the healing meetings. I was so blessed to witnessed a lady who was born deaf and mute able to listen and speak for the first time in the Philippines. I believe the greatest miracle of all was to see over 1000 people accepted Christ in 2008. Glory to God! Watch video below

Another lady in Thailand who had a huge goitre was healed by God in a miraculously way. Watch video below.

Let us believe God for greater blessings and anointing in 2009. God has great plans for all of us in 2009.

However, as it is written:
"No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived
what God has prepared for those who love him"— but God has revealed it to us by his Spirit.
1 Cor 2:9-10a

GREAT ADVENTURE IN SINGAPORE

I really love this city. There are always exciting things happening. For example, while I was walking along Orchard Road, I saw over 100 people putting their hands on brand new Subaru. There was a competition for the person who can put their hands on the car the longest is the winner and takes home the car. AS you can tell, everyone wants to win the car! Apparently, last year's winner had to stand for 77 hours! Visit the website http://imprezachallenge.com.ph/

The weeks leading to Christmas, Singapore was filled with beautiful Christmas lights. It was really nice. I had a great time in Singapore, I met many new friends and ate a lot of yummy food.

Fully Proclaim the Gospel

I was very inspired about Apostle Paul's passion to spread the gospel: in its extent and power. He wanted to preach the gospel everywhere, to everyone (Jews & Gentiles), and with the power of the Holy Spirit in signs and miracles. He fully proclaim the gospel.

17Therefore I glory in Christ Jesus in my service to God. 18I will not venture to speak of anything except what Christ has accomplished through me in leading the Gentiles to obey God by what I have said and done— 19by the power of signs and miracles, through the power of the Spirit. So from Jerusalem all the way around to Illyricum, I have fully proclaimed the gospel of Christ. 20It has always been my ambition to preach the gospel where Christ was not known, so that I would not be building on someone else's foundation. Romans 15:17-20.

Let us fully proclaim the gospel as Apostle Paul did so that people can experience peace, hope, purpose, joy and healing through Christ.

PROCLAIM THE POWER OF GOD

I am in the final week of a 4 month healing and evangelism ministry in Asia. I am writing this blog in Ipoh, Malaysia. The food in Ipoh is so good! There are many Chinese people living in this city. Thus, there are many restuarants with great food. We had an awesome healing meeting in Hope Ipoh and God healed people including an 81 year old elderly lady who can read clearly after prayer.

Before the healing meeting in Ipoh, God reminded me of His awesome power through Psalm 68:34-35,

34 Proclaim the power of God, whose majesty is over Israel, whose power is in the skies.

35 You are awesome, O God, in your sanctuary; the God of Israel gives power and strength to his people. Praise be to God!

Let us proclaim the power of God wherever we are. God wants to empower every believer to demonstrate His love and compassion.

Recently, I read an inspirational book called Kathryn Kuhlman - "The Woman behind the Miracles". This book really challenged my faith for miracles. Kathryn Kuhlman was an evangelist who preached the gospel for 48 years. She was born in 1907 and died in 1976. She started a traveling ministry at the age of 21. God used Kathryn Kuhlman to bring salvation and healing to many people. It is believed that two 2 millions people were healed under her healing ministry. Her famous books included: "I believe in Miracles", "God can do it again" and "Nothing is Impossible with God"

The Kathryn Kuhlman Foundation (Website)

(Read more at the bottom).

Kathryn Kuhlman - Evangelist

It was on July 4, 1948 that the first Kathryn Kuhlman "miracle service" was held at Carnegie Hall, North Side - the first of many such services to be held regularly over the years of her ministry in Pittsburgh. Kathryn Kuhlman moved from Franklin, Pennsylvania to Pittsburgh, after the roof of Faith Temple in Sugar Creek (where she had been conducting services since l947) fell in under the weight of the greatest snowfall in area history on Thanksgiving Day, l950. And it was in l954 that she founded The Kathryn Kuhlman Foundation.

Kathryn Kuhlman was once asked, "What do you regard as the ultimate goal of your ministry?" To which she replied: "MY PURPOSE IS THE SALVATION OF SOULS. Divine healing is secondary to the transformation of a life. Today, that is still the PURPOSE of The Kathryn Kuhlman Foundation, as we continue to minister to the needs of people in this country and abroad through the outreaches of the Foundation.

Kathryn Kuhlman was born-again at the age of fourteen in the Methodist Church of Concordia, Missouri. In her own words, she said of that experience and her ministry: "It was the beginning of something that changed my whole life. All that I knew was the glorious new birth experience, and (as a young girl) when I went to preach to those farmers in Idaho, I could tell them nothing more than what I had experienced: that Jesus would forgive their sins. So, I preached salvation all across Idaho to every farmer, to everyone who would listen; but gradually I began to realize there was someone besides the Father and the Son - there was this Third Person of the Trinity. I felt compelled to know more regarding Him and, as I began searching and studying God's Word, I could see that divine healing also was in the atonement."

"It was in Franklin, Pennsylvania in the old Billy Sunday Tabernacle. I had gone to Franklin by faith (l946), not knowing what I would find there. It was in the third service, as I was preaching on the Holy Spirit, sharing with the people the little that I knew about that Third Person of the Trinity - a woman stood up and testified to her healing of a tumor. That was the first healing that took place in this ministry. It happened without the laying on of hands, without any special prayer; it just happened as a woman sat in the audience while I was preaching on the power of the Holy Spirit. Since that time, there have been thousands and thousands of healings. WHAT IS THE SECRET? It is the Third Person of the Trinity - the Holy Spirit!"

Kathryn Kuhlman always pointed men and women to Jesus, emphasizing that the greatest miracle was the transformation of a life. She often said:
"I believe in miracles with every atom of my being... because I believe in God - but Kathryn Kuhlman has nothing to do with the healing of sick bodies. I have no healing power. It's the power of God that does the healing. The only part I have in it is making Jesus real to the hearts of men and women. Any results there might be in this life of mine, is not Kathryn Kuhlman. It's the Holy Spirit; IT'S WHAT THE HOLY SPIRIT DOES THROUGH A YIELDED VESSEL."

Fifty stations carried her thirty-minute broadcasts, five days a week, covering most of the nation; in Canada; and overseas broadcasts reaching much of Europe. The last ten years of her life, her weekly half-hour television programs (produced at CBS in Los Angeles) were shown throughout the United States and Canada. Many of her radio sermons and television programs from the "I Believe in Miracles" series are available today from the Foundation's office.

Kathryn Kuhlman had a heart for missions as well, and during her lifetime The Kathryn Kuhlman Foundation erected and presented, debt-free, the following Mission Stations to native congregations as a gift. After her Homegoing, the last two were erected, with the Memorial Church in El Salvador paid for by gifts from her Canadian friends.

1. Corn Island, Nicaragua, Central America
2. Boaco, Nicaragua, Central America
3. Waspam, Nicaragua, Central America

21. Ranger Clinic, Saigon, Viet Nam
22. Bible School Reconstruction, Managua, Nicaragua
23. Kathryn Kuhlman Memorial Church, Nairobi, East Africa
24. Kathryn Kuhlman Memorial Church, El Salvador, Central America

Today, the outreaches of the Foundation, both in this country and abroad, are supported by free-will contributions to this ministry, as the Holy Spirit lays it upon the hearts of individuals to give.

Kathryn Kuhlman went Home to be with the Lord on February 20, 1976, but the legacy she left of anointed teachings and works, are still being used of the Holy Spirit to bless countless lives.

The PURPOSE of the Foundation is to get the glorious message of the Gospel out, as far and as effectively as possible...to share with others the love of Jesus and His saving grace. We are also here to encourage the Body of Christ, and to agree in prayer with YOU for whatever miracle is needed in your life or for whatever burden is upon your heart.

Always remember, NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE WITH GOD!
