Xperiential Outreach Testimonies

I haven't been recording testimonies for a long time. It takes time to recall the details and pen them down one by one. Furthermore, if you have a few testimonies daily or bi-daily, it is impossible to blog and catch up. Lifestyle Christianity does not necessary permit lifestyle testimony blogging haha.

Here are some testimonies from our group Xperiential outreach last night at Haji Lane. So many non-believers came to be ministered. Sharing some of the testimonies where I got to minister:

1) A Filipino lady sat down. Before she drew a card, God spoke and we saw the word “Anna” above her head or “Ann”. So we asked, “Is Anna familiar?” She said, “My name is Ann and my mum is Anna.” Her friends were shocked. God spoke and we said “her knees have problems, arthritic issue?” She replied, “Yes. She has been complaining about that.”

So we ministered healing in proxy and asked her to check with her mum when she’s home.

Then we said, “Draw a card.” Can’t really remember what she drew. I think it’s “A blessing for old age or something related.” God spoke and we said, “You are going after social justice. Your sense of right and wrong is very strong and you will stand up and fight for people concerning justice.”

She said, “I’m studying humanity and I want to be a lawyer.” She went Wow and she started to tear. We continued speaking on what God has put in her for this call and she kept crying.

She’s blown away and wondered, “How come you didn’t use the card? Everything you said is not in the card. Cut the long story short, we shared the Gospel and she gave her life to Jesus. Then we prayed for her to be baptized in the Holy Spirit. All her friends were caught in amazement and they too, wanted to have their spiritual reading, which was done by others in the team.

2) A staff from the nearby bar came to take a look at the booth. We told him to sit down for a reading but he said that he had to work. God spoke and we said, “How’s the left side of your lower back? It gives you problem occasionally.” He said, “Yes.” We continued, “Your spine is not straight.”

We proceeded to check and it was confirmed, because his left leg was shorter. We ministered to him and the spine was straighted (with the evidence of both legs now in alignment). He was surprised. We told him about Jesus, but we couldn’t talk more as he had to rush back to the pub to continue his work.

Two SG ladies witnessed the whole thing and they decided to sit and try out the spiritual reading.

3) These two SG ladies sat down. We had WOK for her left shoulder and she said yeah. We told her to hold the card for 10-15 seconds and she was healed.

Then we said, “Since young, you have been brought up in an environment where you had to conform. You have to conform in your behaviours. But that is not who you are. You don’t want boundaries. You are a free bird that wants to be free and explore. Yet you are trapped because your upbringing. In fact, the past two relationships you were in didn’t end well because they wanted you to conform. And that’s not who you are. God has created you differently and He wants you to live out who you really are on the inside.”

She looked at her friend and was surprised because it was spot on. 

Her friend picked one card. We didn’t really look at the card as we usually focused on the Holy Spirit. We said, “There is a gem inside you but you do not know. Because of that, you compare yourself with others, saying, “How I wish I can be like this person and that person.” But God has put that precious gem in you that you need to realize, so that when you look into the mirror, you have full confidence of you.”

She looked at her friend, laughed and said, “We just talked about this during dinner earlier.” They wondered, “What you said isn’t from the cards. Why is that so?” We shared Jesus with them.

4) A China lady came. She drew a card. We had WOK for her left shoulder. Did the same thing using card for healing and she was healed. We saw a ‘bridge’ and said, “You are a great connector. You connect people relationally. In fact, two people can be having disagreement but you will come in and bring them together. You are also very discerning and sharp when it comes to sensing how a person is like. You have high emotional intelligent that enables you to build many relationships.” We added, “You are bold and you take risks. You are not afraid of trying something new. You will step out and do it even if others are not willing.” We saw the word ‘business’ and we said, “You have business ideas in your mind. They are just flowing. This is what you like to do because you cannot be bound by 9-5 office hours. You prefer liberty of time, yet build your finances through business.”

She nodded in agreement throughout the reading and she said, “I’m here in SG for business.” We shared Jesus with her.

5) The team was ministering to two Hindu ladies who seemed to be pretty closed up. One of them demanded the team to give more specific words into her life. We saw the image of a key for spirituality for her friend and we said, “You are a very spiritual person. You seek spirituality. Actually, there was a period when you felt hopeless, which pointed you to seek the spiritual so that you could find hope.”

We added, “And how’s your knee? The left side.” She said, “Why?” We said, “We felt that it’s giving you problem.” She nodded. We ministered healing to her. Then we continued, “You have two kids?” She replied, “Yes...” She was pretty closed up so we didn’t touch that area further.

We saw the word ‘baking.’ Thus, we said, “You are gifted in baking, for God has put that ability in you.” She answered, “That’s a good one.” We continued, “Especially in cakes. That’s what you are really good at.” She nodded in delight and agreement.

We couldn’t share much about Jesus because her friend stood up and wanted to go.

6) Another lady sat down and was being ministered by a few in the team. God spoke and we said, “Your left ankle... is there a problem that comes on and off?” She said “Yes. Comes on and off. And also the left knee.”

We asked her to hold one card for 15 seconds and received healing. She felt tingling on her ankle and knee. We didn’t check on her as we continued to minister in other areas.

We saw a “S” floating on her head. So we said, “There is a big S floating on you.” She was surprised but didn’t reveal what it was until the end. Then God spoke and we said, “You are seeking for peace because you can’t find outside. It’s like a turmoil which you are facing. We saw that you couldn’t sleep at night and you are tossing around on the bed because your mind couldn’t stop thinking and wandering, for there is no peace.” Then we saw a “boomerang” flying around her and we said, “You are trapped in a boomerang cycle. It’s relationships that are repetitive and harmful. That’s the main reason you have no peace.”

She said, “Yes everything is so spot on. I can’t sleep every night and I’m tossing around thinking about the past relationships like a boomerang and I wonder why I am stuck in this cycle. In fact, the letter S is the guy I’m thinking about.”

At the end of our conversation, she was healed in her ankle and knee. She said, “Your intuition is really very sharp. Everything you said is accurate.” We said, “It’s not intuition. It’s Jesus who knows all things and He loves you.” We ministered Shalom into her, so that she could sleep well, and she said, “Wow... there’s so much energy flowing from you...”

We shared the Gospel and talked further. She seemed like she wanted to receive Jesus, but she said, “I’m not someone who changes my belief so quickly. But I will consider.” 

We said, “Don’t worry. You have encountered Him and when you decide to know Him, you can simply receive Him directly.” She said, “I can find peace in a church.” But we said, “You can find peace there, but when you receive Him, peace will no longer be in a building. Peace will be within you because He is with you everywhere you go.”

We didn’t want to push someone to make a decision because we have seen many who made a quick decision to receive Christ, but they just walked in their own ways without Christ after that. Salvation prayer doesn’t save anyone. It’s believing from the heart that one is saved. It must be something a person desires and wants. From what we saw, the lady’s heart had already believed but her mind was stopping her. The mind usually plays catch up with the heart because faith is from the heart.

There were many other testimonies too. What a powerful and amazing night. Jesus!

Personal Challenging Testimony

Personal Challenging Testimony

I have set my heart to pursue growth in healing and divine health, to walk in everything that Jesus had paid for us to walk in. And what I am sharing here is not a method. Neither is it about how 'good' I did. It's about how good He is and how it is possible for every single believer to walk in it. This is the reason why I wrote the healing manual and gave freely to our local people.

This post is not meant for any condemnation, but about personal risks that I take, for I preach healing and thus, I have to walk in it regardless of my life. My wife does not agree with what I do (and I fully understand that because it's difficult), because she loves me too much to see me giving myself to healing and health. This stuff can be ridiculous in the eyes of many, which is why I couldn't share many personal testimonies in the healing manual.

In the latest episode, I was 'hit' by the enemy two chapters before I completed the healing manual. Little did he expect that I used that as an opportunity to complete the manual way faster than I thought.

I was down with chickenpox. There are alot of beliefs and experiences when people talk about chickenpox. Everyone says that it's extremely itchy or at least, itchy. Most people say that it is extremely bad for adults (since I will be 40 in near future) to have it. It is also believed that everyone will have chickenpox once in a lifetime. I don't believe in any of these. Neither do I believe in taking vaccination to be immunised against chickenpox. I have given myself to trust in Him fully. If I can't walk the talk, then I have no rights to talk the talk.

Two nights before the red spots appeared, I was down with high fever 39.6 (my wife measured me). This carried on for two days. My wife was extremely worried (out of love, of course). She knew that I wouldn't take any medication. But she couldn't hold it any longer. Thus, she sat me down and said, "I don't care. You must take. I'm going to the fridge now to take panadol for you."

She came back in less than three minutes. I said, "No. I'm not taking." She said, "It's way too hot, especially for adults. You don't have a choice." I insisted, "No. I'm not taking." She said, "Fine. I measure one more time to convince you. If it's still high, I will put the panadol into your mouth."

She took the measurement and the thermometer read 36.7. In astonishment, she took two more times and it remained 36.7. Phew. God came through. It was such a challenging moment. Within three minutes, it went from 39.6 to 36.7. She witnessed the power of God first-hand.

Then I said, "The devil is scared." She replied, "No, the devil will want you to take the medicine."

Being witty (ahem....), I got her to repeat that sentence two more times. And she laughed.

When the red spots came out on the next day, she said, "This is chickenpox. Can you go to the doctor to verify?" At first, I didn't want to. But she added, "If it is, you don't want to put your son at risk. You can't go near him until you get it verified."

I haven't visited a doctor for few years. For the sake of verification (cos I didn't want to be separated from my son), I went. Doctor confirmed it's chicken pox. He gave me some medication to prevent it from getting full-blown (which is usually ALOT of spots for adults) and lotion to reduce itchiness. Of course, I put them all aside as 'white elephant' lol. Some suggested that I could quickly go for an injection to prevent the spots from growing. There were probably less than 20 at that point in time.

I put off every medication, injection and suggestions, because I put on the law of the Spirit of Life. While I didn't see instant healing, I saw progressive healing and miracle. Throughout the 'quarantined' period, there was NO itch whatsoever. People were telling me how itchy chickenpox is. I guess I have eaten way too much chicken such that it's not itchy at all (pun and lameness intended). The law of the Spirit of Life can crush every itch.

During the quarantined period of 8-9 days before I was completely cleared, I finished writing the healing manual. What the devil meant for evil, God turned it for good.

The enemy might want to push me to give up and go for doctor's remedy, but little did he realise that he has indirectly pushed me to go even deeper in the area of divine health and to stand even firmer in this area. The healing manual was written in that place of challenge with deeper conviction than ever and it contains truths that surpass experiences.

I think it is tough to be my wife and I really salute her. It is not easy for a woman to bear such worries, especially when she loves me so much. I love her, but I have to walk in the truth on divine health without compromise, so that if a day comes when I need to walk in power and love, I can do it.

Disclaimer: Please go to the doctor if you need. This is not a post to tell you not to go. It is my journey because of the message I carry. I was in the place where doctors couldn't do anything about my incurable sickness and God healed me. This is why I live my life this way and I am still growing day by day.

P.S: Though I was 'hit', I still believe there is a place where you can't get hit (Ephesians 6:16; 1 John 5:18). I'm not there yet, but I'm getting closer by His grace and goodness. Let us fix our eyes on Him, the Author & Finisher of faith. Divine health is FOR every believer, and I'm sharing this so that you get stirred to go after it and not remain status quo.

Releasing Milk & Honey

“Honey and milk are under your tongue." - Song of Solomon 4:11

In the Old Covenant, the land flowing with milk and honey was a physical place ----- the Promised Land. It wasn't just a land 'full' of milk and honey. It was a land 'flowing'... In other words, there was more than enough to enjoy and at the same time, to give away to the people around them.

"I have said I will bring you up out of the affliction of Egypt to the land of the Canaanites and the Hittites and the Amorites and the Perizzites and the Hivites and the Jebusites, to a land flowing with milk and honey." - Exodus 3:17

The Israelites were the descendants of Abraham who enjoyed the Promised Land. God first gave the promise to Abraham (Genesis 15:18-21); and He reminded Isaac (Genesis 26:3) and Jacob (Genesis 28:13).

The Old was a foreshadow of the New. In the New Covenant, the Promised Land is now the Promised Spirit (Galatians 3:14). It is no longer a physical place, but a spiritual reality.

Every believer has the Promised Spirit within him. It is flowing from within him like a river (John 7:38). In other words, he has more than enough to enjoy and to give away to the people around him. This 'milk and honey' speaks of abundance.

A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart brings forth evil. For out of the ABUNDANCE of the heart his mouth speaks. - Luke 6:45 (emphasis added)

Since 'honey and milk' is under our tongue, we can release abundance with our words.

For the believer, abundance is not from without. It is from within. It doesn't flow from the physical, natural, visible and external circumstance. It flows from the spiritual, supernatural, invisible and internal reality. It flows from within our spirit, through our soul (mind, emotions and will), through our body (tongue ----- words) to our external reality.

In other words, wherever we go, we will see people healed; we will see whatever we do prospers. It doesn't depend on others. Neither does it depend on the economy and the market. It depends on the kingdom of God from within us and how we perceive it.

Instead of praying, 'God, is this job from you?' or 'God, should I minister to this person?', make a decision to believe that He is WITH you whichever job you are inclined to take, and whoever you minister to.

Instead of separating God from you, live from the reality that He is in you and with you wherever you go. For the two have become one with no separation. Christ IN you is the Hope of glory.

The Power of Peace

Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. - Phil 4:6-7

Peace is a powerful thing. It reveals where we are at. On the other hand, anxiety, worries and unrest also reveal where we are at, for they are opposite of peace.

Everything in the kingdom is received by grace through faith. When we walk in faith, we will have peace. Faith and peace go hand in hand (Romans 5:1).

You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on You, because he trusts in You. - Isaiah 26:3

When we trust in Him (faith), we have Shalom peace.

In other words, when we have worries, anxiety and fears, we are not walking in faith. Thus, although God has already given us every blessing (Eph 1:3), we cannot receive from Him if we are not walking in faith.

Whichever area that you are walking in faith, you will have peace. The opposite is also true. Whatever area that you have no peace in, you are not walking in faith.

You can only have peace if you have fully surrendered that area to God. It is an indication that you have not surrendered, if there is no peace. And thus, the blessings are 'blocked' in that area.

This is why you find yourself blessed in those areas that you have peace; in those areas that you have surrendered to Him; in those areas where there ain't fears, worries and anxiety.

This is why Phil 4:6-7 talks about peace guarding your heart and mind in Christ. You have not received what you asked for. But when peace surpasses that, you can rest, because if you have peace, it's a matter of time the answer follows.
