Empowerment

Empowerment

The needs and the demands around us are beyond what an individual can handle. You and I are not the saviour of the world. Jesus is.

This is why we need to empower more people instead of pure feeding. Fish for them and they will never grow. Teach them to fish and they will feed others. This cycle of empowerment must continue.

The Body of Christ needs to start to collaborate (not in events and conferences, but in actual partnership of ministry, by which I mean the ministry of reconciliation) and empower normal believers (not a selected group) to do the work of ministry.

The church attendance is all growing exponentially but the kingdom is not expanding simultaneously because of a lack of empowerment. Every believer can do visitation, minister healing, and meet the needs. No one is INDISPENSABLE nor 'UNUSEABLE' in the work of ministry. Everyone is equally significant in playing a part in the kingdom.

We need to stop focusing on the ministers of Christ who didn't die for you and start focusing on Christ the Minister who died for you and lives in you.

We need to stop looking to the so-called holy men of God and start looking to the God of men, in whom we live and move and have our being.

Only when we realise that can true empowerment begins.

Growing Into Healing Via Media

If Jesus does Skype or Zoom, everyone who comes online will be healed.

In other words, there is more to grow into so that we can see the same percentage of those healed online compared to those healed in person.

Divine Health As His Body

Divine Health As His Body

And He put all things under His feet, and gave Him to be head over all things to the church, which is HIS BODY, the fullness of Him who fills all in all. - Eph 1:22-23 (emphasis added)

The body is the fullness of Christ who fills all in all. It is a mystery for Christ who is complete to be completed by us, who have been made His Body.

When the Bible talks about 'He Himself', it is often referred to Christ's body (sacrifice)

HE HIMSELF took our infirmities and bore our sicknesses. - Matt 8:17 (emphasis added)

HE HIMSELF bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we might die to sin and live to righteousness. By his wounds you have been healed. - 1 Peter 2:24 (emphasis added)

For HE HIMSELF is our peace, who has made both one, and has broken down the middle wall of separation, having abolished in His flesh the enmity, - Eph 2:14-15 (emphasis added)

His body was broken so that our bodies can be made whole. That's only the first part. His body was also broken so that we can become His body to represent Him ----- this is wholeness wholly. We are 'grafted' into Him by filling His Body. Our lives are now hidden with Christ (Col 3:3).

Understanding the first part leads to divine healing. But understanding the second part leads to divine health. We are walking with Him being the HEAD and us being the BODY. We are ONE. The revelation of the Head imparts divine health to the Body. We represent Him not just in the spirit realm, but also the natural realm ---- which includes character, deeds and our physical bodies.

When you walk around the streets, you are not walking as you only. You are walking as Christ ----- His Body.

What a privilege to be His Body and have all things (including all dark minions) under His (our) feet.

The Principle of the Kingdom for Own Healing

The Principle of the Kingdom for Own Healing

For a believer, the kingdom of God is within you (Luke 17:20; Matt 12:28; Romans 14:17). For a non-believer, the kingdom of God is at hand (near him).

Based on the truth, it should be easier to be healed personally than to minister healing to others. Furthermore, God is first "My" Father. To the degree we understand that truth, to that degree we can receive from Him.

In reality, however, many of us find it easier to minister healing to others than to receive own healing. The hindrance is often because we subconsciously think that it is "harder" for self-healing (as we went through real symptoms in our bodies for many years).

This thinking has to change by the renewing of our mind as we keep pounding and going after truth. The reality of our experience cannot be greater than the reality of His truth.

For believers, we are not to live from healing to healing. It's from healing to divine health. We are growing in that and we need to keep growing. No one is there instantly. We just need to keep going after it.

Few days ago, I felt abit chilly close to midnight. The body felt warm on the outside, but cold on the inside. So I let the law of the Spirit of Life flows from my spirit through my soul to my body. The kingdom always flows from within. Our spirit and His Spirit are one.

The soul is the "medium" for the Spirit of Life to flow into the body. The soul consists of mind, emotions and will. We can direct all of them for the Spirit of Life to flow into our body. I learnt that by self-healing as well as a personal confirmation when ministering to a lady some time ago.

Mind: You direct your mind by thinking it. As a man thinks in his heart, so is he. (Prov 23:7) This is the seat of thought in our heart. Your thinking creates an intent / a desire.

Emotions: You direct your emotions by desiring it / intending it. This is not a 'feel-good' thingy where you have goosebumps. You don't have to feel anything. It is truth-desire (Prov 13:12; Ps 37:4).

Will: You direct your will by believing it. Because you receive what you believe, not what you pray (Mark 11:24).

Speaking can help to release the Spirit of Life to our bodies (Song of Songs 4:11 TPT), though it is not necessary as long as you believe.

Spirit of Life -> Soul (Thinking -> Desiring -> Believing) -> Body

This is not New Age by the way. They copied from us. We are the original.

As I let the Spirit of Life out, within a few minutes, the symptoms disappeared. However, I felt a little discomfort on my throat. The thought of eating potato chips somehow quickly flashed across my mind. But I said to myself, "I don't want to rely on chips."

I believe in applying the same principle which is timeless. But the medium can be changed. I went to take a big piece of bah kwa (barbequed pork) and thanked Him while consuming it. After finishing the yummy bah kwa, the last symptom disappeared. Jesus!

When some people heard the way I received my healing, it defied their logic. It's absurd to some. That's because we have lived in this world for so long since we are born, that our mind has been conformed to the patterns of this world.

The world triumphs on health supplements. That's a very lucrative industry ($37 USD billion per year). People run businesses selling those stuff as well as organic food products to earn ALOT of money. Even the medical world feeds on this to boost the country's economy and pay the doctors well (sorry doctor friends, I have to be plain honest about the medical world). Even if there are alternatives, it will seldom be shared or revealed at the expense of the pharmaceutical industry. One must know that medical researches are often skewed depending on who the sponsor is. We can be informed but we cannot be conformed.

Disclaimer: I'm not saying that doctors are bad. They have saved lives and we need to accord them the honour. I am referring to the medical system which they are operating from ---- that has limitations and agenda.

Instead of growing our knowledge by gaining more medical information, we (myself included) need to grow in our understanding by gaining more revelation on divine health and healing. #divinehealth #kingdomlife

Humbled

So humbled by these that are coming in from the West...

.

.

Seeing these things either make you proud or drive you into worship. It actually broke me and kept me vulnerable before Him.

.

.

There is nothing good in me. But abiding in Him brings the fruit. For apart from Him, we can do nothing.

.

.

What a privilege to let the Divine One express Himself through an ordinary boy who is only a mere father and a hubby. 

.

.

I put off every public figure’s endorsement for this book, so that I could see God’s handprints and His endorsement directly. An unknown figure in this Asian country from a small little dot is used by the God of the Universe to bless others. How He uses the weak to shame the wise.

.

.

To stay off the ministry platform is the desire of my heart, so that I can see more sons and daughters walking out their identity —- ordinary people with an extraordinary Father. 

.

.

I’m seeing a new and young generation who are moving away from the pulpit ministry and focusing on the diligent study of the Word ministry through normal believers (the Body of Christ) so that they can truly empower one another outside the four walls of religion. We don’t need more speakers. We need more learners and doers of the Word.

.

.

Enough of superstars and public figures. It’s time to go back to the whole of God’s family living the kingdom out. No one is excluded. You are IN. #humbled #worship #everybeliever
