Fears Are Lies. Faith Is Truth

Even when it seems I’m surrounded by many liars and my own fears... Ps 116:10 (TPT)

Fear always lies before your sight in order to hide truth from your faith. Fears triumph in the face of lies, while faith triumphs in the face of truth.

When your faith meets truth, it explodes in confidence and power. 

Faith is the evidence of things not seen (Heb 11:1).

Faith is the evidence of truth.

Faith comes from hearing and hearing the Word (Rom 10:17).

Hearing and hearing the Word is the evidence of things not seen.

Hearing and hearing the Word is the evidence of truth.

The Word is the evidence of things not seen.

The Word is the evidence of truth.

Your faith only explodes in confidence and power when it meets the Word.

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. - John 1:1-3

The Word is Christ. 

Meeting the Word is the same as meeting Christ (2 Cor 3:18), since you cannot see Him face to face literally on earth until He returns.

Many of us are surrounded by fears (which are lies) but we don't know that we have been lied to. We even try, in our own wisdom, to differentiate between lies and facts.

But the Bible is clear that outside of truth is, but lies. These include facts. Facts are still lies when they are outside of truth. Nothing is going to help your faith unless you meet the Word. Only the Word is the Way, the Truth, and the Life (John 14:16).

People say, "Well, these are the facts. Doctor so-and-so said so. So I can have faith to win this sickness."

No. You can't have faith in the absence of truth. What you have is emotional satisfaction in the face of facts. Truth is only found in the Word.

And the only way to differentiate between what is lie and what is truth is the Word.

Streets Hit-and-Run Prophetic Encounter

I was in a rush, walking in the streets quickly to get to Dhoby Ghaut MRT.

Two well dressed guys walked in the opposite direction. They went past me, before one of them turned back and said, "Excuse me..."

I looked back as I thought he needed help with directions. He said, "Excuse me, your face is very lucky. You have a very lucky face."

He shook my hand and added, "In these two months, you will see lucky things."

I saw a globe and Asia as I shook his hand. So I said, "I see you travelling around Asia, spreading word, and you are leaving soon."

He was surprised and replied, "Yes, I travel around. I'm going to Taiwan, Japan, Thailand, etc. I'm an astrologist. Are you also an astrologist?" And he proceeded to shake my hand again.

I responded, "I do spiritual reading because I'm into Jesus."

As I had to rush off, we left it as that.

I have done thousands of hits-and-run healing encounters on the streets because you need to walk up to the person quickly and finish off the healing. But this is the first time I encountered a hit-and-run prophetic reading while moving fast and furious on the streets.

This sets me thinking of greater possibilities of reaching out to the lost in the streets as a natural lifestyle.

If we can "excuse me" and release healing while walking in the streets, then we can "excuse me" and release a prophetic word while walking in the streets. Jesus!

P.S: My face is always lucky because I am always blessed in Christ.

God Gives You The Charge

God Gives You The Charge

The heavens are the Lord's heavens, but the earth He has given to the children of man. - Psalm 115:16 ESV

The heavens belong to our God; they are His alone, but He has given us the earth and put us in charge. - Psalm 115:16 (TPT)

The earth is under men's dominion. This is both a privilege and responsibility given by God. This is nothing new unless you don't understand Genesis Chapter 1.

When believers only hide in the four walls praying and interceding for the nation, thinking that God will somehow work things out regardlessly, they miss the heart of God.

Yes, there is a time and space for prayer and intercession. But it is only a fraction of our responsibility. If you are in charge on this earth, you must take action. Faith is not just a fact. Faith is an act.

This is also the reason why believers must vote for the right government. We don't just pray, "Oh God, let Your will be done." No, He has sent you to do His will. When you VOTE for the right government, you are DOING His will.

The Lord's Prayer is not a religious prayer to recite day and night. It is the heart of the Father to be demonstrated and manifested through His sons ----- Jesus did it first (Jn 5:19; Heb 10:7), and now it is our turn (Phil 2:13).

The King's heart is for His Kingdom to be reflected on earth as it is in heaven. We cannot do it simply by praying & interceding. We are given the charge to DO and ACT on His will. This is why He put us in charge on earth. This is also the reason why He instituted the whole governmental system on earth.

Unfortunately, many believers still do not understand how the Kingdom works. They are so stuck with religion and churchianity that they miss the Kingdom purpose.

They leave the secular, political and governmental realms to unbelievers. They focus on praying & interceding, and telling others to trust God and let Him do His will on earth. That is not Christianity.

How do we vote for the right government that is according to God's will? It is simple.

The policies that reflect the most of that of the Kingdom are the ones we should support and vote for. It's clear and indisputable. God wants His Kingdom to be manifested on earth.

You don't vote according to track records. You don't vote according to the mainstream and popularity. You don't vote according to personal preference or personality. You vote according to Kingdom alignment.

I have heard so many people (believers or non-believers) talking about Trump and why he shouldn't be elected as a person with so many issues. Well, if you understand the Kingdom, you will know why he is rightly elected.

Singapore will have our turn. But voting, while extremely important (because it concerns the lives of the people in the nation), is only one aspect of taking responsibility on earth as believers.

If we are in charge of this earth, we must take dominion in every arena until they look like heaven.

Rightness Delivers

Rightness Delivers

...they would deliver but their own lives by their righteousness... - Ezekiel 14:14

In the Old Covenant, righteousness was on credit by faith (Gen 15:6). In the New Covenant, righteousness is a reality given by Christ (2 Cor 5:21).

If righteousness by credit could deliver Daniel, Job and Noah's lives as mentioned by God to Ezekiel, righteousness by reality should be way better.

Righteousness always delivers, because the Deliverer has not only appeared, but He lives in us.

In the Old, God raised deliverers (Judges 3:9) to deliver Israel from their enemies. In the New, God sent the Greatest Deliverer into us so that deliverance is a thing of the past (Col 1:13; 2 Cor 5:17), but many believers are still thinking about receiving deliverance from ministries. Because they don't understand that the Deliverer is INSIDE them.

You and I have now become 'a deliverer' because of Righteousness. Righteousness is not only right standing before God. It is also right standing before anything that is wrong.

If a person does something wrong (or criminal), he is afraid to stand face to face with a police/law officer. In the same way, our role as a 'deliverer' is to confront what is wrong in the lives of people.

This means that we deliver what is Right into what is wrong.

Sickness is wrong. Disease is wrong. Demonic oppression is wrong. As long as the soul and the body do not function according to God's original design, it is wrong.

So when we come face to face with what is wrong, what is wrong is afraid of us because we deliver 'right-ness'.

Healing is right. Health is right. Freedom is right. We deliver right-ness into the person, so that wrong-ness leaves.

Right-ness has been paid for by Christ. As a deliverer, we simply deliver what Christ has paid for to wrong situations.

The next time when you see sickness, you can boldly declare, "Because I am right and you are wrong, you have to go."

Believing and Manifestation

Believing and Manifestation

Your believing will keep working until your thoughts and words say otherwise.

This is why Joshua 1:8 says that the Word of God must not depart from our mouth (words) and meditation (thoughts).

Everything in life is designed to distract you. Worries and cares, in the Greek, mean distraction and division. They are meant to divide your thoughts so that you cannot believe completely.

This is why it is impossible to keep believing if we don't keep meditating His Word day and night as Joshua said. It can't even be departed from our mouth.

Mark 11:24 says that if you believe, it will be yours. It says "will be", which means that the manifestation may or may not be instantaneous. I believe that the strength of your belief will determine the speed of the manifestation. Nonetheless, as long as you believe, it will keep working until the manifestation comes.

This is why there are non-believing believers and believing non-believers. Non-believers can also get the manifestation with their belief. This is called the Law of Attraction. However, a believer's belief should be way more powerful than a non-believer because the latter depends on self will power or demonic power, but we depend on the Spirit of belief, the Power of heaven.

A believer's belief should get the manifestation way faster than a non-believer.

If we don't get the manifestation, we can trace back and honestly discover that at some point, we let our thoughts or words say otherwise (either consciously or subconsciously).

Apart from that, believing cannot stop working because God is not a man that He should lie. His Word always works and never returns to Him void.

The Difference between False Prophets in New & Old Covenant

The Difference between False Prophets in New & Old Covenant

False prophets in the Old Covenant were easy to detect. If they prophesy something and it doesn't come to pass, God is against them (Eze 13:8). In fact, they shall die (Deut 18:20-22).

The reason is simple as follows:

Thus says the Lord God, Woe to the foolish prophets 𝐰𝐡𝐨 𝐟𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐨𝐰 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐢𝐫 𝐨𝐰𝐧 𝐬𝐩𝐢𝐫𝐢𝐭, and have seen nothing! - Eze 13:3

In the Old Covenant, it is impossible to miss God's voice because no one was born again yet. They didn't have the Spirit living inside them. The Spirit was always 'outside' (upon) them. The voice of God comes from without, and hence, they either follow the voice of God (God's Spirit) or their own spirit.

This is why if you prophesy wrongly in the Old Covenant, the consequence is death.

In the New Covenant, false prophets are NOT those who prophesy wrongly, but those who lead people AWAY from Christ (Matt 24:11, 1 John 4:1-3). That includes those preaching in the pulpit who draw people away from Christ-centred messages to themselves.

In the New Covenant, we are born again. The Spirit of God lives inside us. The voice of God comes from within. Hence, we get to LEARN and GROW in hearing His voice as we prophesy. There is no death sentence, but there is a responsibility in the hearers to test the prophecies (1 Thes 5:20-21).

Ezekiel is known to be a drama-mama prophet in the Old Testament. He did so many prophetic acts from Chapter 1 to Chapter 12. 

An interesting principle is this... after he obeyed God to do the prophetic acts, God's interpretation came. The Word of the Lord came to him. But you can see the progression as the Word of the Lord began to come to him faster and faster.

From chapter 13 onwards, almost every subsequent chapter begins with "And the Word of the Lord came to me". Ezekiel didn't even perform any prophetic act yet.

Obedience precedes understanding (revelation). As Ezekiel obeyed God through the prophetic acts, understanding was given to him more and more (Matt 13:12). Eventually, he received understanding (the Word of the Lord) directly from heaven without prophetic acts.

If we want understanding from God, we must first be willing to obey what He says without understanding. If we want to grow in hearing His voice, obedience is the key.

Spiritual Property Investment

Spiritual Property Investment

As a real estate agent, I look at statistics and figures for property investment. This empowers me with the earthly knowledge on where the real estate market is moving in each segment and area.

But I'm first a believer, before any vocation. This means that I must live from the Spirit (faith) beyond earthly knowledge. If I live just like any other real estate agent, I am not living first as a believer.

Our works either confirm or contradict our beliefs.

As I was praying today, I saw a pot of plant that is evergreen. Various living things including birds and insects came to take from this plant. Yet this plant continues to grow and gives life regardless of how much it has been taken from.

Immediately I am reminded of Psalm 1:3.

He shall be like a tree

Planted by the rivers of water,

That brings forth its fruit in its season,

Whose leaf also shall not wither;

And whatever he does shall prosper.

The rivers of water is a type of the Holy Spirit, who is the Spirit of Life.

Because the Spirit of Life is in a believer, the tree will never wither. It stays evergreen. It can keep giving life because it has BECOME life, just like God.

God gives life to good and evil, for example, sunlight. Similarly, as a believer, good and evil can keep taking from you. But you never run out. You never run dry. Because you are LIFE.

Of course, there is only one key to have and become this LIFE. You need to search out this on your own, else you will not study the Bible.

When we become this tree, whatever we do shall prosper. It says, "WHATEVER", which means... Yep... Whatever.

In other words, your property investment goes beyond the physical into the spiritual. Because whatever you do shall prosper, whatever property you lay your hands on shall prosper.

It goes beyond statistics and figures. The LIFE of the tree in you will CAUSE the property to prosper, because you shall prosper.

Instead of focusing on statistics and facts, focus MORE on LIFE. Whether you are buying a property or helping clients to buy a property, let the LIFE in you produce the result.

This is spiritual property investment. This is beyond what your real estate agencies teach you. Yes, they have the experience but they are also biased for the sake of goals and money. This is why they keep pushing for clients to buy new projects / new condos.

You and I have the wisdom from above, which is beyond any earthly knowledge. Live like a believer, not just any agent you can easily find like any drop in the ocean. Jesus!
