Last night, I learned That "truth" is TRUTH. Your truth is truth regardless of how or what I think/feel. The truth is :-
1. You believe in me that I can be like You!... even when I don't feel like I can...
2. You believe that I can be great and mighty like You! ...even when I don't feel that great..
3. You love me no matter what!! even when there are times I feel I don't deserve Your love...
4. I am Your son and Your blood!! Just like how Rocky the boxer told his son.
Ahhh...these are Your truth!!
Despite how/what I feel about myself, Your truth remains the same and unchanged as that is how You see me.
You not only speak Your truth but You live the truth as YOU ARE THE TRUTH!!
John 1:14 (from Kenneth S. Wuest: The NT and expanded translation)
And the Word, entering a new mode of existence, became flesh, and lived in a tent (His physical body) among us.
Previously Your word (truth) was in existence through the mode of law but now it has taken a new mode of existence, it became flesh as it dwells in a physical body - Christ's body. Now the truth is not just in the form of law, tablets but now in flesh.
Jesus say, " I am the way, THE TRUTH, and the life."
Jesus not only taught the truth but He lived it as HE IS THE TRUTH. He is not only the messenger but He is the message. The word/truth and Him becomes One and He becomes the standard
Your truth of me is :-
1. You believe in me that I can be like You!
I can be like You because I am meant to be like You! This is my original design.
Gen 1:26
Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, in our likeness,...."
Gen 1:27
So God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them."
It's for this reason, I know I am called to be transformed to be more and more like You so that can carry the full measure of Your grace, truth and glory!!
2. You believe that I can be great and mighty like You! Rule and reign with You on this earth.
In Your eyes, I am a mighty valor. Just like how You look at Gideon even when he did not felt that way. Plus he really was not in a situation that make him look like some sort of mighty valor. Humanly there is nothing mighty about being a cave! You look at Abraham and said You would make him a great nation. At that point of time, he was a man with no citizenship of any nation!!
But that's the thing, You never consider my situation or people around me or even how I feel to affect how You see me. You just know that I can be like You despite of my surroundings, background and people around me because You have made me in You image and likeness.
I have all the ingredients within me to rise to be great and mighty like You.
Gen 1:26
Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move along the ground."
Gen 1:28
God blessed them and said to them, "be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdues it. rule over the fish of the sea and birds of the air and over every living creature that moves o the ground."
3. You love me!!
1 John 4:9
In this the love of God was manifested toward us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him.
1 John 4:10
In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins.
1 John 4:19
"We love Him because He first loved us."
Before I even know You, You have loved me. It's for that reason that You gave Your son to redeem me. Despite of my weaknesses, You still love me. As in 1 Corinthian 13 say, love persevere, love never lose heart nor courage. Love always believe and hope as love never fails.
4. I am Your son!!
Galatians 3:26
"For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus."
Galatians 4:6
"And because you are sons, God has sent forth the Spirit of His Son into your hearts, crying out, “Abba, Father!”
I know my spirit is recreated as the Spirit of Your son in in me. When You look at me, You see me as Your son as the spirit of Christ in in me.
These truths are not just in the form of spoken and written form but now it dwells in me. I am living these truth that You have spoken and written. I become the very person to bring fulfillment of these truths. I know You who started this good work in me, You will also bring it to completion. Let me see like how You see and be absolute yielded to the Holy Spirit so that Your truths would be outwork and manifested in my life

Chapter 4: Characteristics Of Breakthrough Believers Part II
2. Moved under intense pressure to set the pace.
* A pioneer is one who initiates and sets the pace. Just like in a relay race, the first runner is the one who sets the pace so that the others can follow.
That's why the first runner is very crucial here and he's shouldering a very important responsibility for the rest of his team mates. He's the one who runs first then he would have to overcome every of the obstacles so that the rest can see and follow.
As breakthrough believer we must realize as pioneers going through life, we would face intense pressure in the form of challenges, problems and limitations just like other people. So what's the difference?
The difference is that a pioneer despite being hit hard with all the challenges, setbacks, problems and limitations, the pioneer can still MOVE FORWARD!
Despite intense pressure, the pioneer is moving forward consistently that's why he can set the pace for others to follow in pursuit.
We must realize that God has put in us this ingredient whereby we can be hit hard in life again and again yet we can still move forward.
Just like how I was inspired by this short clip below from the movie Rocky. This is where the father, Rocky gives his son a heart to heart reprimand. His father was saying that he say great potential in him and he started of great in life but somehow along the line, he changed. When pressure came in, he lost it and started to blame other things and people for the misfortune.
He said to his son:
“Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain’t all sunshine and rainbows. It is a very mean and nasty place and I don’t care how tough you are, it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life.
But it ain’t about how hard you hit; it’s about how hard you can get hit, and keep moving forward. . It’s How much you can take, and keep moving forward. That’s how winning is done. Now, if you know what you’re worth, then go out and get what you’re worth. But you gotta be willing to take the hits, and not point fingers and blame other people. Cowards do that and that ain’t you. You’re better than that!"
When I heard those statements, it was like You speaking through that short movie clip. Yes, it's about how hard (intense pressure) can hit me but I must keep moving forward. I may have been hurt by people, down with sickness, experience failure but I know for sure is that despite all this I can still MOVE FORWARD!!
This reminds me of what papa said about how he saw himself as a soldier in the battlefield, he was injured but still God said he must move on forward. Despite in pain, he went on forward and as he move on forward, he could see that all his wounds were healed. Now his words are ringing in my ears, "When you are hit or injured, you must still MOVE ON!"
I remember of the countless times when I really felt that I did not know how I was going to get through all the problems and all I wanted to do was to throw in the towel but every time I would feel my spirit wanting to rise and move forward. There was a this very dark moment in my life where I was hurt emotionally for something which I had no control of. That pain was felt physically yet You taught me to just move on forward and the pain was healed.
It may sound cynical to some people as they would say it's easy for me to say this as I don't know what they are going through ( the intensity of pressure). That maybe true but I know for sure is that it's even easier to point fingers and blame others and even God for our misfortune and stay there. It surely takes a lot of courage to rise again and again and to keep moving on.
However I have seen people who have been hit hard by life but they loose the courage to rise and keep moving forward. Then they just go about routine and settled for mediocrity as a way of life.
Rocky told his son
"I'm always going to love you no matter what happens, you're my son, you're my blood and you're the best thing my life. But until you start to believe in yourself , you ain't going to have a life.”
When I heard that, it was like hearing You saying that to me.
I am the best thing to You because when You made me, You looked and said, "very good". No matter what You would always love because I am your son and I'm Your blood. I must believe in myself because You believe in me. I'm made in Your image and that I carry what You carry within me. For me to have life, it's only found in You.
This ability to move forward is what a pioneer breakthrough believer has. Despite being hit hard with all the challenges, setbacks, problems and limitations, the pioneer can still MOVE FORWARD! Because YOU REMAIN UNCHANGEABLE AND YOUR WORDS REMAINS FOREVER.

Boldness and Courage
Boldness and courage is my portion because love is in me.
For love itself carries a dimension of courage as in I Crointhian 13 say love does not lose heart nor courage.
I don't need to be afraid or be dismayed because I know You are with me. Your love give me such courage and strength from within to rise above every limitations and challenges. Love gives me the strength to endure all things.
I know I can rise is because love has not only given me strength but cause me to believe(faith) and hope all things. My faith is the title deed of things hoped for, the proof of things which are not seen. (Hebrews 11:1)
Your word say, I'm to be constantly pursuing this love, earnestly endeavoring to acquire it.
What am I to do to acquire it then? I must yield myself fully to the Holy Spirit so that He would have all the liberty to work in me so that this love can be produced within me.
Note: The verse translation are from Kenneth S. Wuest

Note: The verse translation are from Kenneth S. Wuest
Love
What is "love"? Well, I know for sure it's more than just a feeling.
Paul say,
"And now these three remains:faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love."
I Corinthians 13:13
Love is the greatest among all these is because I must first have love in me as it believes in all things (faith) and hopes all things (hope).
What is this "love" which Paul is talking about?
BelowKenneth S. Wuest - The New Testament expanded translation says of v.1
The Greek word which Paul used for love speaks of God's love produced in the heart of the yielded saint by the holy spirit, a love that impels one to deny himself for the sake of the loved ones.
This means this God's "love" is produced by the holy spirit who is dwelling in me.
How? When the I choose to yield myself more and more to the holy spirit and it would allow the holy spirit to produce love. This love would impel me to deny myself for the sake of the loved ones. It's this very love that in Him that impel Christ to deny himself for our sake.
This "love" has dimensions to it as in the following verse:
Ephesians 3: 17-18
"so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God."
This love is not an experience based on knowledge but one that allows me to full experience it in different aspects.
I Corinthians 13:4-8
"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. "
All i know now is that if I want to fully experience these dimensions, foremost I must begin to yield myself to the holy spirit daily so that he could produce Your love in me.
Paul say,
"And now these three remains:faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love."
I Corinthians 13:13
Love is the greatest among all these is because I must first have love in me as it believes in all things (faith) and hopes all things (hope).

Great Empowerment
God is not looking for great man
He is looking for a MAN!!
He knows that when the man is accurately connected to Him, He would be able to make the man GREAT because HE HIMSELF is GREAT.
I'm reminded by these thoughts. How You look at me...
How many times was it that I was looking at myself and say, I just don't have the skill or ability or talent to do so many things but You were not even looking at all that.
You were just looking at me as how You would see Yourself.
As long I'm connected and in You, You would be able to make me great and to do great things.
I also know Your definition of "great" is different as to how the world defines it. The world defines "great" with what "Self" has achieve or accomplish. It's all about "self".
To You, "great" is actually empowerment! To empower or reproduce others who are just like You and who can do what You do. One who carries what You carry! It's like being a "mini god" here on this earth!!
You empower us to be more and more like You and to do greater things. Just as what Jesus say, "...greater things than these will you do."
In fact, being great and do great things is simply to be able to help others just to be like You. Like what Amy say about me helping her to realize that she is the head and not the tail as how You have spoken.....
You are awesome!!!
There is no one like You!
He is looking for a MAN!!
He knows that when the man is accurately connected to Him, He would be able to make the man GREAT because HE HIMSELF is GREAT.

A Governing Church is also an Apostolic Church
What does an
- Apostolic patterns and strategies
It's in the strong local church that the breakthrough believers are moving towards maturity meaning they have embraced all these patterns into their lives. All this because of following the apostolic patterns and it's strategies that's given to us as in the book of Acts.That's why apostolic men can be birth and raised in this place.
When we partake of this diet as a local church and has become a resource center, people who are weak and need help are coming to us to get their resources. We are no longer just meeting our own needs but others as well. People begin to see our existence is beneficial. That is why the apostolic church must be in existence before apostolic men are discovered.
- Apostolic men/leaders
These are people who are birth and raised in the apostolic bases. The pattern and procedures of the apostolic is built into them. We cannot impart into others what we have not received and become.
What does it produces?
- An apostolic company (a group of apostles) that carries apostolic nature, mindset and apostolic behaviour patterns.
Apostolic church produces apostles because Jesus Christ is also an Apostle.
“Therefore, holy brothers, who share in the heavenly calling, fix your
Believers – disciples - apostles.
Upon the impartation or transferring of things and life, God just changes who you
are.
v. 1 “He called his twelve disciples to him and gave them authority to drive out
All that Jesus had were transferred into them; the disciples become apostles. They carried his apostolic nature, mindset and behaviour pattern. They were no longer representing themselves or own name but Him and moving in His name. Their names and His name is interwoven and seen as one. Luke 10:17-20 & the story of the sword of Gideon and the sword of the Lord.

A governing church is a strong local church
What is a Governing Church?
A governing church is a LOCAL CHURCH that has become the epicenter and hub of divine activity carrying a spiritual prevailing position to enhance kingdom influence by exercising dominion over the spiritual realm, keeping the heavens open and making it conducive for the Holy Spirit's movement in the regions around it and beyond. (extracted from papa JD book "Apostolic Blueprints for Accurate Building")
But a Governing church is also a strong local church, a strong resource center and also an apostolic church
What does a strong local church provides?
1. It provides a structure that help keeps the people HEALTHY (wholesomeness in spirit and mind(internal) would produce wholesome life which is for eternal) and not just to make people HAPPY.
Example:
Eating all healthy food is not a happy thing but we do it is because it’s HEALTHY and would make us healthy. It’s only later as we keep partaking of this healthy diet that we would see it’s benefits and then we would be happy(from within expressed out). Then our happiness is no longer dependent on external situation, people, programs, activities but it’s because we are happy/glad (internal) consistently with ourselves. When we feel well from within us, then all is good and well.
The emphasis of s strong local church is making the people HEALTHY and MOVING towards MATURITY.
2. Provides the functions such as fellowship(warmer), discipleship(deeper), worship(stronger), ministry(broader) and evangelism(larger) so that the people is moving towards Maturity and Wholesomeness. (Acts 2:42-47)
It's because the people are strong and healthy and moving towards maturity that every functions and dept within the church can move together as one and for improvement. All are partaking the same diet(continuously partaking the same teaching) and expressing the same life and are pursuing the same purpose.
Acts 2: 42-45
"They devoted themselves to the apostles teaching and to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. Everyone was filled with awe, and many wonders and miraculous signs were done by the apostles. All believers were together and had everything in common. Selling their possessions and goods, the gave to anyone as he had a need."
What does it produce?
1. It produces prevailing, vibrant and lively state of believers (from believer have move towards breakthrough believer)
2. The state of the church is healthy and its expression of its culture is also wholesome.
3. The believers are fulfilling their functions and moving towards corporate purpose and destiny.

Good report and evil report
The following is are excerpts in parts from Curry Blake's writing which caught my attention:
"It amazes me at the number of people that say they "believe God", or that they "believe the Word of God", then in the next sentence say that what God said isn't working. God's word works. What God has spoken, is considered done, and shall come to pass. This sounds like Mark 11:22-23. God believes what He has spoken and it comes to pass. It is not faith to say, "God is going to heal me", it is unbelief. Faith speaks the end result at the beginning of the situation while everything still looks the same. Unbelievers say what they see and feel. Believers must believe and therefore speak what is yet unseen."
"For an interesting study, do a concordance search on the terms "good report" and "evil report". You will find that the term "good report" is synonymous with agreeing with whatever God has said, regardless of how seemingly impossible it would be to come to pass. The term, "evil report", is used any time a person says anything that disagrees with what God has told them to do. In the Bible, the people that agree with God (good report) go into the promised land (where God's promises are fulfilled). The people that give an "evil report" fail to receive the blessings of God, even though they considered themselves as "God's people". Notice, they considered themselves... God did not consider them His people. If you read Heb. 11, you will find that only those that received a "good report" were considered by God as people of faith."
Many times when the term "good report" is used it's always associated with speaking encouraging or positive words but clearly this is not it. It goes way higher and deeper as it means that I as a believer and a leader am to agree with whatever God has said regardless what my natural eyes sees. Even when it seems impossible, it would still come to pass.
I was looking into Numbers 13: 1 ff, what caught my attention was what You said, "Send some men to search/explore the land of Canaan, which I am giving to the Israelites. From each ancestral tribe send one of its leaders."
You are saying send people there to explore the land which You have already decided to give to the Israelites. What is the reason the go search or explore when You have already known what is good in the land if not You won't be giving it to your people. But the people really thought You needed help in surveying the land as though You have no clue at all. That's why all the statistics were given so that You can weigh the pros and more so on the cons (the impossibilities). This where it all begins...........
The leaders themselves could only see what their natural eyes could see which is of the now. They could only analyze the situation of the problems and impossibilities but could not see beyond to see what You see. When You said, "send them to search/explore.." You actually wanted them to see as how You see it and agree with what You have said that is the land it flows with milk and honey. You wanted to them to see despite the infrastructure, its population and economy, You are giving them the land and it's a land that flows with milk and honey.
The Hebrew word for search means sent to descry. Descry means to notice or see especially something from a distant. You wanted them to see all the possibilities there is in the future as You give them the land. You not only see now but also the future as You hold the future. You wanted them to see that despite the current situation Your sovereign hand is moving and You are still in control. How true, what can I see or what's my perspective on a matter would determine my action now. No wonder, You always ask, "What do you see?"
What we see would also determine what kind of report we are giving. I must learn to see as You do and Your ways in the midst of every situation and begin to agree with what You have said regardless of how seemingly impossible it would be to come to pass. Because what You have spoken it would not return unto You void but it would be accomplished!
Leadership bites which I discovered:
1. As a leader on assignment, keep to it and finished it and report to my superior. (Don't be tempted to do more as in this case, v.32 "they do more by "spreading" the bad report to the people) Stay focused and learn to keep my mouth shut.
2. As a leader, I'm to be objective and rational and report as according to what I'm told to. Don't add or subtract due to my own personal opinions. Never exaggerate!!
3. As a leader, I'm to trained my eyes to see things in the spirit as how You see it.
4. As a leader, I'm to stressed again "good report" meaning agreeing and repeating again what You have said despite what the current situation maybe.
5. As an overall leader, I'm to put a stop to any "bad report" among leadership and the people. Begin to make a stand by stressing on the "good report". Have to hold everyone back to the same page that is to agree to "good report" despite the current situation.
6. As a leader, always stir, show and speak of the possibilities of the future that God had said so that they can begin to picture it in their mind and be stirred to live and outwork this very future out starting from now!
"It amazes me at the number of people that say they "believe God", or that they "believe the Word of God", then in the next sentence say that what God said isn't working. God's word works. What God has spoken, is considered done, and shall come to pass. This sounds like Mark 11:22-23. God believes what He has spoken and it comes to pass. It is not faith to say, "God is going to heal me", it is unbelief. Faith speaks the end result at the beginning of the situation while everything still looks the same. Unbelievers say what they see and feel. Believers must believe and therefore speak what is yet unseen."
"For an interesting study, do a concordance search on the terms "good report" and "evil report". You will find that the term "good report" is synonymous with agreeing with whatever God has said, regardless of how seemingly impossible it would be to come to pass. The term, "evil report", is used any time a person says anything that disagrees with what God has told them to do. In the Bible, the people that agree with God (good report) go into the promised land (where God's promises are fulfilled). The people that give an "evil report" fail to receive the blessings of God, even though they considered themselves as "God's people". Notice, they considered themselves... God did not consider them His people. If you read Heb. 11, you will find that only those that received a "good report" were considered by God as people of faith."
Many times when the term "good report" is used it's always associated with speaking encouraging or positive words but clearly this is not it. It goes way higher and deeper as it means that I as a believer and a leader am to agree with whatever God has said regardless what my natural eyes sees. Even when it seems impossible, it would still come to pass.

God Knows
This morning,the very 1st phone call that I received is unexpected and also make my heart to be very sad because one of our long time and faithful leader has decided to part ways with us as they have felt they can't really flow along with us. while I know there are underlying reasons about this but that's not the main point for this posting.
My heart cried in anguished as I felt this pain and sadness in my heart, my mind had so much questions and thoughts. Then it dawned on me of You my very partner the one whom I share this very one life with, " how do You get through all this?" I cried in pain was because of the relationship we build and shared but You? I ask, "How do You go through this pain as You see the one that You have shaped and formed, one that carries Your image and breathes Your very life making such decisions?"
It was at that very moment, You reminded me that You are the GOD who KNOWS,You don't think but YOU KNOW! You know the choice which we will make and how far we will go. It's through Your Sovereign foreknowledge, You leave room for our margins of error because all error cannot derail Your ultimate plan. You will get what You want, even if we move in negative and positive, You have it covered already. Despite all resistance, we will still go forward! All because You know!! You are the GOD who WILLS. You predetermine what You have had as a foreknowledge. You are determined by Your will to carry it through thus You sets the course for those whom You have chosen.
That is why, I know and know that Your ultimate plan and purpose would still be moving forward. But it's here that I learned to know Your very heart. Many times, when such things happens, we loose heart and just carry the pain and anguish of loosing people and stop there. Then we say You feel such pain and anguish as though we really understand You. Yes! You do feel the pain and anguish it's because You see us walking out from Your very good plan that You have for all Your partners but You don't stop just there at the pain and anguish and being helpless but You have already seen the ending from the beginning. You have seen the future and that's why whatever decision we make, You already know and have it covered. You are a master strategist.
It's here I begin to realize that no matter what You determine by Your will to carry through the plans that's for Your church and nation. You see the future and You are determined to outwork the process. Nothing can stop Your plan and purpose! That's why I must not just stop here at this pain and anguish but keep moving forward and sow my life as seed for this nation because I'm here for a higher purpose as I'm representing You. I must not be like Terah, who stopped moving forward and settled down because of the pain of loosing his son, Haran whom he loved. I must see a bigger picture! I must see Your purpose and the very hope for this nation! This being said, I know when there are issues that need to be resolved or rectify, I still need to but when my conscience sets me free of the issue then I must learn to move on.
When You called Abram,You want him to to go the LAND which You will show him. You said to him, "I will make you into a great nation and I will bless you; I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all PEOPLES on EARTH will be blessed through you."
Terah stopped and he died but when You called Abram, You want him to go to the land which You will show him. Why the land? It's in a land whereby You can release Your very dominion. It's through a person who represents You in the land, whereby Your very government can be established. As to rule it means to bring in government and to gather till all that You want is in place according to Your liking then YOU reign! The people in the land is blessed because they have hope and now know what's Your heart and ways because a kingly generation is leading them.
Terah he settled and operated within only (internal) but with Abram, You brought him out. There's a change of domain. Our internal dynamics must be well connected within so that we can PUSH OUT if not it becomes very inward looking and loose sight of destiny. The church must move out from the operational base to outside if it's to take on city transformation.
Now I know why, this song was running in my heart and spirit despite all this issue that happen.Yes! This is Your cry and it's my cry as I share this very ONE LIFE with YOU. I'm here to partner with You to rebuild our desolate city so that I can rule and reign with You here on this earth! This is what we are here for!! I must not forget this and that's why I must move on forward!
Our cry for Malaysia - Destiny Heights
Honestly! I really feel very shallow in knowing You as my partner and in my writings coz I can only draw parallels in my expressions of You on human level. Argghhhh...I really feel I don't do justice coz You're of the highest honor and glory! But thank you, I'm very grateful that You chose to partner with me and You see me fit enough to share this very heart of Yours!
My heart cried in anguished as I felt this pain and sadness in my heart, my mind had so much questions and thoughts. Then it dawned on me of You my very partner the one whom I share this very one life with, " how do You get through all this?"

In Your sanctuary
In Your sanctuary - Destiny Heights
In Your Sanctuary, I will offer my praise
In Your Sanctuary, I'll surrender my life
To You, Lord, as a pleasing sacrifice
I will lay my life on the altar for You
Chorus
I'm amazed at how You've touched my life
I can only stand in awe
At Your wondrous grace that sets me free
To worship You, Lord
Living by Your Spirit and Your life
I'm surrounded by Your boundless love
Draw me till I have known You , intimately
When I first head this song, it immediately caught my very attention as it stirred my spirit and heart so much because it became the very words that I wanted to tell You so much. It literary became my song to You which I'm listening and singing it repeatedly.
As I look back till now, I could only say like how the song says, " I'm amazed at how You've touched my life, I can only stand in awe..." Thank You, my dear Father! I am totally overwhelmed by Your wondrous grace and love
It is in Your sanctuary, that I would gladly lay down my life for You. Let my life be a pleasing sacrifice that every time You look at it, it would bring You such satisfaction, pleasure and delight! I'll gladly pay every of the price because I've come to know that the price I pay is nothing to be compared to what You're giving. In fact, it's like what papa say, "The price we pay is not even worthy the prize we are receiving."
You do know, I'll gladly do it is not because I want to repay You as I can never repay You for all that You have given. And it's not because I look at myself any lower but more so is because I've discovered this is what partnership is all about. You won't have to bear it alone coz You know You have me as your partner. All that You desire and long for in Your heart can now be released and fulfilled through me. You will surely see it come to pass here on this earth!
It is in You, I have learned that in this partnership, I can rise to give You my all, whatever the cost is, I willingly pay it, as again and again You have shown me, nothing can be compared or even worthy to what I am receiving. Of all, You have shown me there's such strength that rises from within me in this partnership to forge through every challenges and to share in making the impossible into possible. Truly as how You have said, "One shall put a thousand to flight, two shall put the ten of thousands to fleeing!" Such strength in being in oneness in You!
Remember what You said the other day, I want to tell You again that there's nothing else not even the very blessings that You have given can be compared to have You and knowing You, my partner, my Father intimately! I've never seen such overflow of sacrificial of love and of giving. It's endless!
Everytime I hear this song, tears would just flow not because I'm sad but rather I'm really overwhelmed and flooded by Your wondrous grace, love and goodness! I love You, my Father! You have caused me to desire You even more coz there's so much that I have yet to know about You! Draw me till I have known You intimately! This is my cry from the depths of my heart
Change
Last night in cell group, You mentioned about CHANGE! and I'm in awe at how the following statements is released:-
THE MOMENT I CHANGE, I GAIN
THE MOMENT I DON'T CHANGE, I BECOME A BREEDING GROUND FOR CONTAMINATION
Your heart's desire is for all of us to change and to keep changing consistently. As this will help us keep to the momentum to advance and so that we won't hit the wall.
As I explained to them, I begin to realize that as breakthrough believer, one of the things in prevailing mentality is "CHANGE". Our prevailing mentality should be one that says "THE MOMENT I CHANGE, I GAIN".
The people in the system of the world carries the mentality of just being conformed.Many times when they are asked to change, they would ask the following :- "what for", "why change?" "change won't make any difference coz all are like that"
Another reason people refuse to change is because of fear.The fear of loosing out when they change.Settling in ones comfort zone is another reason why people refuse to change.It's just a matter of time, we would be outdated.
We are different because we do not belong to the system of this world but to a higher kingdom. We represent Your very Kingdom. That's why, our mindset must be one of "THE MOMENT I CHANGE, I GAIN". Our mindset must be one that's of a reformist and not of a conformist. We must begin to filter the thoughts and thinking pattern that is entering into our mind. As our thinking pattern would begin to shape us. Proverbs tells us that "as man thinketh so he becomes"
Your very WORD becomes the very reason of why we change. The moment You word enters into my life and heart, I must begin to change as Your word is here to read and adjust me so that I become more and more like Your Son. The moment, I change then my walk is also changed. As Your word begins to take shape in my heart and mind,I'll be walking in the path of destiny that You've set and pursue the very things that's in YOur very heart.
I must not fear change as CHANGE IS THE NAME OF THE GAME for a breakthrough believer to gain momentum for advancement!!

Forged in hostile terrain
This message from papa Jonathan seems to be the main thing that my spirit and mind now. I can't stop thinking and keep listening to it again and again. All this is downloaded in me already :D
It was in my recent trip, to Kuching that I got new notes added to what has been downloaded to me. My additional thoughts to papa's message.
Matt 4:1-11
1. One would be led from familiar terrain into hostile terrain
It's when I'm out from my familiar ground that I would begin to see what I have and carry inside is POTENT and POWERFUL! Jesus himself was being led from familiar ground into WILDERNESS. It's only when I'm in the wilderness that all sorts of hostility is being thrown at me. It's in the midst of all this hostility that I would honestly discover who I am in You. This is also the time I would have to be brutally honest in dissecting myself to see if my own "SELF" is there to lay hold of me, greed, selfishness and etc.
Would I still be holding on to Your words and You steadfastly? Who I truly depend on? I guess it's in this unfamiliar terrain that I learned to be brutally honest and not be presumptuous as it could be very costly.
All this is like a soldier, whereby because of the routines and the familiarity things can get a bit too casual. Till they are thrown out into a terrain that is not familiar and hostile, it's in these moments the soldier would have to draw all that one has received and have from within.
It's at these times, whereby my sparring partner is the devil.....hahaha! All these sparring would cause me to recognize and realize how strong and powerful I am!! Hmmm.....I've never thought of it in such a manner but I like this thought that is "I'm getting stronger and better at his(devil) expense" ....hahahahahaha!
2. One must be ever ready for every kind of intensive raining
Jesus went through His training as He grew to be Your very BEloved son. Jesus Himself grew physically and in stature and was in favor with God and man. Now being led into hostile terrain He still have to go through training receiving all He can before He faces the enemy! Like how papa say, It's 80 full sessions. Just like any athletes they are in other countries for competition, even before they start their event, they are still to keep pushing themselves to receive all the training they need. Even the soldier receives all the briefing and instructions before sent out for battle.
That is why I must yield myself to be ever ready and eager at all times to receive all the instructions and training regardless of which terrain I may be in.
3. One must know the assignment and stay on course
Jesus became hungry after such a long period of fasting therefore it's natural that He felt hunger within Him. The enemy is know asking him to eat. What is the problem here? When you're hungry, you should it. The issue here is not about eating or not eating. It's when we know we can move on our own and not follow the main purpose. We use our own way to get out no longer attaching ourselves to the main purpose. Being "SELF DEPENDENT"
I must remember that the assignment is not about me but it's for the main purpose. It's not about my needs but Your very main purpose and what You need. This reminds me of how soldiers that are taken captive by their enemies. The enemies would usually offer them deals which is associated with the prisoners needs.
How do I know/discover what is my assignment?
It's when I stay connected to the main body(church) and it's purpose that I would know my assignment. My destiny and assignments are birth out from here.
How does the church find it's destiny and original purpose and assignment?
By coming back to it's original blueprint as in the New Testament.
Matt 16:13-19 tells us that the church is connected to heaven as it's born of heaven.
I'm not to substitute fulfilling destiny and my assignment with meeting my personal needs. I must remember needs are temporary, destiny is fixed and permanent!! Needs are seasonal and they change from time to time. Elimelech and his wife, Naomi and two sons left the place of destiny and settled in a place so that their needs can be met. Naomi lost her husband and two sons when they settled in a place of meeting their own personal needs. Naomi knew she had to return to her destiny and place of assignment. She did not stay in bad decision.
Leaders must make be accurately connected and make wise decisions so that those below them won't suffer and loose out in destiny. Elimelech a leader in the home make a wrong decision and everyone in the family have to suffer for the bad decisions and inaccurate leadership he provided
4. One must know God well
It's when we do not know each other well that the enemy can infiltrate and cause confusion among us. Prisoner soldiers would be in this dilemma if they do not know each other well. The enemy would bring in confusion and pitch these prisoner soldiers to go against each other. Doubting one another.
I must know You and trust You well. I must remember You are the God who knows. You don't think, You know! The Son knew the Father, I too must know You like how Your Son knows You.
You see the future and outworks the processes because You know and how it will happen. You have seen the end from the beginning. You see how it fits into the overall plan & purpose. You know that Your plans are good and for all concern partnership and You know the choice we wil make and how far we will go. That is why even if it's bad, I know and Know that You will still turn it for good!
Despite all the resistance faced in this hostile terrain, I know I'm still going forward! Because YOU KNOW!

I must remember that the assignment is not about me but it's for the main purpose. It's not about my needs but Your very main purpose and what You need. This reminds me of how soldiers that are taken captive by their enemies. The enemies would usually offer them deals which is associated with the prisoners needs.
How do I know/discover what is my assignment?
It's when I stay connected to the main body(church) and it's purpose that I would know my assignment. My destiny and assignments are birth out from here.
How does the church find it's destiny and original purpose and assignment?
By coming back to it's original blueprint as in the New Testament.
Matt 16:13-19 tells us that the church is connected to heaven as it's born of heaven.
I'm not to substitute fulfilling destiny and my assignment with meeting my personal needs. I must remember needs are temporary, destiny is fixed and permanent!! Needs are seasonal and they change from time to time. Elimelech and his wife, Naomi and two sons left the place of destiny and settled in a place so that their needs can be met. Naomi lost her husband and two sons when they settled in a place of meeting their own personal needs. Naomi knew she had to return to her destiny and place of assignment. She did not stay in bad decision.
Leaders must make be accurately connected and make wise decisions so that those below them won't suffer and loose out in destiny. Elimelech a leader in the home make a wrong decision and everyone in the family have to suffer for the bad decisions and inaccurate leadership he provided
4. One must know God well
It's when we do not know each other well that the enemy can infiltrate and cause confusion among us. Prisoner soldiers would be in this dilemma if they do not know each other well. The enemy would bring in confusion and pitch these prisoner soldiers to go against each other. Doubting one another.
I must know You and trust You well. I must remember You are the God who knows. You don't think, You know! The Son knew the Father, I too must know You like how Your Son knows You.
You see the future and outworks the processes because You know and how it will happen. You have seen the end from the beginning. You see how it fits into the overall plan & purpose. You know that Your plans are good and for all concern partnership and You know the choice we wil make and how far we will go. That is why even if it's bad, I know and Know that You will still turn it for good!
Despite all the resistance faced in this hostile terrain, I know I'm still going forward! Because YOU KNOW!

Transfer - Elijah's mantle
These thoughts came when I was hearing what my roommate, Ps. Elizabeth from PNG relating her experiences about what she has received through out GLS and now ITIP.
All that she said, just have my thoughts set on Elijah and his mantle. How the transferring of his mantle to Elisha. Elijah transferred something very valuable to Elisha. I remember papa JD say, Elijah's mantle is not just a mantle but it represented his life. Therefore Elisha is not just receiving just a mantle but he's embracing the very life of Elijah. What Elijah was carrying within him is now in Elisha. The one that Elijah represented is now what the very one that Elisha represents........

Intensive Training for Impacting Pastors
This year's ITIP truly just blew me away! All that papa JD has given was so practical and relevant. papa really brought everything to a higher level. Of all, this is what I truly needed as I continue on my next leg for this journey. There were alot of thoughts running through my heart and mind before I arrive in Muar. It was through out the sessions that I begin to receive Your reaffirming again. Thank You for giving us papa JD and mum Helen as they are truly a blessing to many lives :D

Giving
2 Kings 4:42-44
1. A man from another place came before and gave his first fruit to the man of God.
a. People who don't follow God yet know that God can and should only have the best and of the best quality.
2. Elisha the man of God thinks of the people and what the word of God can do. He gives what the people really need and is beneficial.
a. In the eye of the man of God or any pastor, is giving the best whatever there is to feed his people. In Elisha's eyes is the people must eat. He repeat it to his servant thrice.
It's when the people begin to eat that they would have the sustaining power for their journey. It's in receiving his words and instructions that we would find that we would move from strength to strength.
The man of God is to feed but the people must also respond and eat it then they would find strength out of it on their own. Because You are more than enough for us.
The people who ministered(his servant) with Elisha don't share the man of God's heart desire as they look to whether the people would have enough.
3. People who know God and are with us only wants to receive what they want and be there to give.
The people who are with us they cant see that the important issue or could not anticipate what in the man of God's heart. Sometimes the very people who are with us, they are content in receiving. Even in receiving, it must meet to their requirement or standard.
But as leaders especially need to rise up and be beside the pastor to begin to give unto the people. Whatever portion that we have received from the pastor, we must be faithfully in redistributing it out to the people .
Elisha knew the people needed this now as this is what God had said.
Sometimes we could be so close yet we missed the very heartbeat that's in the man of God.
Before we can received anything we are there to ask how would all these benefit people, what if it does not help them and etc. But that should not be our concern as we are there to just give the people what they need. It's when they begin to receive what they needed that they would be able to sustain themselves and make more with the little they have so that their supply is never ending. Because it's He that supplies it!!
Church, pastors and leader are not here to meet people' s needs but to give them the training they need to meet their own need so that they can make more and learn to sustain on their own.

Marriage (Part 3)
continuation from previous post....
A husband must love his wife just as Christ loved and cared for His bride. How? Just like how Christ loves himself. How did Christ love himself? He did it by living to fulfill the Father God's purpose. When He live to fulfill the very purpose of God in His life then all will fall in it's place just like in Eph 4:16
When he receives direction(Your very purpose) and I partner with him to do what is required then it helps the us (whole body) grow and be full of love.
Did Christ love Himself? Yes!, because He carried what the Father carried. He was and is part of the Trinity. He is the exact representation of the Father. The church is His body, part of Him. He can never hate it because it should reflect Him in His image and likeness.
As an individual: Christ in me means it's only Him. Carrying and living His very life. Can I hate myself? No! because it's no longer me that live but Him. I'm His exact image and likeness!
As a couple we should be finding and we are able to find the Christ that's in each other as individually we have carried on the truth in love that's why we can grow to be more and more like Him. This is how the two becomes one just as He is in You. Such ONENESS!!
No wonder the church and Him is one. He's the head and we are the body! The bride partners with Christ to fulfill the very purpose of God(direction).
Your bride manifest Your very heartbeat and pulse in her that it can be seen. Likewise he's carrying You in his life. When we unite then I'm also to reflect what's in his heart and desire because it's of Yours!I'm there to partner with him to finish the very purpose that You've given to him. Oneness in it, that it reflects You in every area of our lives.
Just like the church(body) is needed to carry and be the message. Marriage is needed to reflect that the above can be done and happen in the church. As marriage is the entity that involves the 2 of us. It's the very first model of Your love and manifestation of Your purpose.
You're so detailed and thorough in Your planning! You're truly a strategist! You leave me in awe!
You have so much love for us, Your church Your body.
Can we ever reject our partner? No because our partner is Your representation and part of Your body. Rejecting him would mean I'm rejecting You! Now I understand that to choose to marry someone in destiny is of a higher standard and calling than to simply choose anyone. Because it reflects that we both are committed to bear Your very standard in our lives!! As that is the standard You bore for Your church.
All those times of talking about bearing Your standard has led me to all these. Now I know what You mean when You talk about standard ;p

Marriage (Part 2)
Thoughts based on Ephesian 4 & 5:21-31
1. Find the Christ in each other.
Ephesians 4:15
"but speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in all aspects into Him who is the head, even Christ,"
Ephesians 5:21
"and be subject to one another in the fear of Christ."
The more we are like Christ then we will submit to one another out of reverence for Christ.
See Christ in him, then I see Christ therefore when I submit to him, I'm submitting to Christ.
2. Husband the head, like Christ the head of the body.
Ephesian 4:15-16
"but speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in all aspects into Him who is the head, even Christ, from whom the whole body, being fitted and held together by what every joint supplies, according to the proper working of each individual part, causes the growth of the body for the building up of itself in love. "
Ephesians 5:23
"For the husband is the head of the wife, as Christ also is the head of the church, He Himself being the Savior of the body. "
Husband which is the head, it's under his direction, the whole body is perfectly fitted together just like Christ. The husband too must first be more and more like Christ by holding to the truth in love. Submission and honor comes first then direction can be given by him. This is how we become in oneness.
Husband is to give his life to be the savior to her by helping or saving her from making wrong decisions and in her weakness, helping her to rise, set her free and empower her. Which is why "submission" is so critical here.
Just like how Christ loved His bride. i must look at him with such honor because it's in him I find strength, love, grace, mercy and etc. It's in him, I find such direction because we are one and moving in the same destiny and only in one path. I will only rise when I began to see who I am in him and submit.
Life can never be detached because of the oneness in life that we share. There is such oneness and unity and it's in it that life and power would be released out in us. In Your eyes, we are ONE!! to be continued....
Marriage (Part 1)
What is this? I really have no idea!! hahahahahaBut I remember this conversation we had about this, so here's our thoughts on it:-
1. Marriage will be very different for those on the prophetic and apostolic journey.
2. Parenting will take on a very different approach from what the world is teaching. Parents would walk with such an assurance that their children won't go bad because their lives are build accurately.
3. Couples need to find the Christ in each other. The more we train our eyes to find the Christ in each other, then we will be more like You. Then when we come to You, You sees us as one. It's in us, You will see Yourself as we are made in Your image and likeness.
You see Your word, You see Your image and Your likeness!!
As we find Christ in each other, we are drawn to love and appreciate each other more and indirectly we are drawn to You and love You more because we are in You and You're in us. Submission and honor will be easy because as we are doing it to each other therefore we are submitting and honoring You. That way our marriage will have You because it just draws You because it's a reflection of You!
4. Prophetic people in marriage.
This one, I would need to come back to You and discuss about it :p

A Prophetic Generation (Part 2)
Psalm 102:18 “This will be written for the generation to come, that a people yet to be created may praise the Lord.”
We are the very EPICENTER for all these things to happen on the earth!!! This is so exciting!!! I’m the very EPICENTER where all things in heaven must breakout in and through me first before it can reach others.
Before anything can take place here on this earth, it must first be birth and breakout within us first. We are the very channels where all these things can be release through. This is what the Finishing Generation carries within them.
We being the very EPICENTER meaning the first to carry this breakout within us and release it therefore it's not surprising that one of our characteristic as a breakthrough believer is "Moving ahead to pioneer a new move of God."
As the very EPICENTER, we are the FIRST therefore naturally we are MOVING AHEAD as PIONEERS. That is why there's is nothing that can stop us because we become totally unstoppable and untoppable. As that is how You have made and fashioned us to be, as YOU are UNSTOPPABLE and UNTOPPABLE. It's just YOU NATURALLY!!!
We are no superheroes but we are just like YOU NATURALLY!! All these things would just become part of our lives so naturally. In You, all things are possible, we too are possible because Your very DNA is in us :D
We are the Prophetic Generation! We are Pioneers! The Finishing Generation!
Have not watch cartoon a long time but she is still one of my favorites:- "Kim Possible."
Here the lyrics and song video from her cartoon entitled "It's just you" which i feel is suited with this post, just change and put your name in the song.....hahaha!!

ARISE! GET UP!
1 Kings 19:5-8 "Then he lay down under the tree and fell asleep. All at once an angel touched him and said, "Get up and eat". He looked around, and there by his head was a cake of bread baked over hot coals, and a jar of water. He ate and drank and then he lay down again.The angel of the Lord came back a second time and touched him and said, "Get up and eat, for the journey is too much for you". So he got up and drank. Strengthened by that food, he traveled forty days and forty nights until he reached Horeb, the mountain of God. There he went into the cave and spent the night. And the word of the Lord came to him: "What are you doing here, Elijah?"
As a sons of God, we must :-
1. Be determined to rise.
Nobody can push us to rise, only we can push ourselves. The choice to rise is within our hands. We have to learn to push without anyone telling us! We must be determined to want to rise up from within us first.
In life, we must make a decision to "Get up and not give up!"The first words that the angel spoke to Elijah was "Get up". Elijah was extremely tired as he had to run for his life so much so he felt it was not worth going on anymore. He was willing to let go off his life. He felt very tired/exhausted! Just rejoicing over a success and now he's in such a situation where he was in a worse state. Till he felt it was not worth living or no point in moving forward anymore.
Just like us, we at times encounter such a frustration/trial/challenge that it just cause us to be so overwhelmed by it. It makes us weary because it seems like it would never end. We came in prepared and believed in His word and declared it but yet nothing happens. Our situation doesn't seem to get any better neither is it improving. It was still as frustrating and tiring as before that we just threw our arms in frustration and give up!
But yet, the angel spoke , he said, "GET UP AND EAT." It's irony cause the angel must have not been listening well as Elijah had in verse 4 said, "I have had enough". Seriously, I don't think food is in his mind now. But this statement by Elijah sounds so familiar because that's what we usually would say.....
No matter how challenging it may be, we must first make a decision to be 'DETERMINED TO RISE". WE MUST WANT TO RISE. The angel did not offer his hands to Elijah but he told him to arise. Elijah still had to get up on his own. He still must be determined to push himself and do what he needs to rise/get up! The angle was there beside him as he spoke to Elijah but still Elijah had to get up on his own. God is always beside us but He can't make or push us to rise. This determination must come from within us. If we choose not to continue on and walk, He can't drag us along. YOUR ever strong hands are there for us to hold us the moment we determine to get up. YOU would hold our hands and walk the journey together with us.
Never give up! because we carry the future in us. The moment we stop, there's no more future for ourselves and others too. That is why, you and I need to rise not just once but again and again!!
BE DETERMINED TO RISE!
2. Keep hearing, believing and declaring His words
God speak the word and things happen. God speak the word and all of creation came into existence. Things do happen when we speak the His words. If on the first time we have declared and nothing happen, we must not give up! We must keep on hearing, believing and declaring His words.
"EAT"- It's when Elijah begin to arise, he had to eat the bread and drink the water. Bread and water itself keeps sustaining us. Therefore it is important that we keep feeding ourselves with the proceeding word of God and praying in the spirit. When we begin to keep hearing, believing and declaring His proceeding word and pushing in the spirit that we begin to be strengthened from within us.
Jesus said, "I am the living bread which came down from heaven, if any man eat of this bread, he shall live forever." He also said that "He that believe in Him as the scripture said,out of of his belly shall flow rivers of living water."
It's vital that we keep hearing, believing and declaring His proceeding word because we are building our spirit to be strong. His proceeding word is able to break every of the inaccurate pattern of thinking within us and build in the accurate thinking pattern of God.
Without an accurate thinking pattern us we won't be able to see every of our situation from God's perspective. As we are clouded by our own negative and inaccurate thinking pattern and it would just cloud our vision as well. The more we hear, believe and declare His proceeding word, the spirit of our mind is being changed and the MIND OF THE SPIRIT CAN TEACH US TO OBEY. The moment we are realigned in our mind then our vision/sight is realigned to see our situation as how God sees it.
Elijah was strengthened by that food, that is why he could keep advancing and moving forward. Many times we just see our present situation but fail to see further ahead. We must remember that the journey ahead is still far and long that's why we need need His proceeding word to strengthened us so that we can keep advancing and moving forward.
3. God would speak to us.
His proceeding word would cause to keep drawing closer to Him and begin to aligned our hearts to Him speak to us with regards to our situation. It is interesting that God asked Elijah, "What are you doing here, Elijah?" It looks like Elijah is in the wrong place.
Many times when we draw close to God is because we just want Him to help us to get out/run away from our situation. We tend to give ourselves many excuses just to avoid confronting our situation. Here, God speaks to Elijah and later you would find that He sends Elijah back from the very place he ran away. (1 Kings 19: 10-15)
We must realize that we are not meant to run away from problems. God Himself has put within us this seed "the ability to prevail" within us. A seed is small but its powerful as it can grow into a strong tree/plant that would yield fruits that are bigger than the seed. Such power or ability does a small seed carries within it but yet for it to release its ability it must fall to the ground.
John 12:24 "I tell you the truth, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a sing seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds."
This seed that's within us, must come into contact with trials/challenges, problems and etc in order for it to unleash its power to break out/rise/prevail above it all. All this begins within us. God wants us to begin to realize that all that we need to prevail, He has already put within us. That is why He knows we can prevail and break every limitation and boundaries.
We need to see that our in our original we are meant to prevail against limitation and boundaries. We are not designed to resign in defeat nor are we to run away from problems. We are meant to face every problems/challenges with great courage, knowing that we carry the very seed "ability to prevail" within us and success and victory is for us.
Noticed how this time when Elijah was sent back, his attitude and mindset was entirely different from how he began. Just like Elijah, God speaks to us as He wants us to confront and conquer our situation. As now our mindset, heart and vision is realigned according to His proceeding word, our attitude and approach towards our situation would be entirely different.
We can confront our situation with much confidence and rest in our hearts and mind knowing that victory is in our hands already. We are going in with the power and in the name of the Lord. Noticed how courageous Elijah became. It was because of this ONE man that become the very vessel that God used to raise others that courage to confront and to slain the enemies.
It was because of that ONE small seed that fall to the ground that yielded many fruits so that many lives can enjoy the fruits.We must realize that God wants us to confront and learn how to conquer our problems/challenges so that through our lives, we can also help teach and show others how to overcome and conquer their problems and challenges. So that many more lives can be set free and not overwhelmed/succumbed by their problems or challenges. Our lives carry the very future and hope for many more lives out there.
We are the future. We are ahead is so that we can be a true leader that would set many captives free and lead them into the path of life and liberty in HIM!
As a sons of God, we must :-
1. Be determined to rise.
Nobody can push us to rise, only we can push ourselves. The choice to rise is within our hands. We have to learn to push without anyone telling us! We must be determined to want to rise up from within us first.

Noticed how courageous Elijah became. It was because of this ONE man that become the very vessel that God used to raise others that courage to confront and to slain the enemies.
It was because of that ONE small seed that fall to the ground that yielded many fruits so that many lives can enjoy the fruits.We must realize that God wants us to confront and learn how to conquer our problems/challenges so that through our lives, we can also help teach and show others how to overcome and conquer their problems and challenges. So that many more lives can be set free and not overwhelmed/succumbed by their problems or challenges. Our lives carry the very future and hope for many more lives out there.
We are the future. We are ahead is so that we can be a true leader that would set many captives free and lead them into the path of life and liberty in HIM!

A Prophetic Generation
Psalm 102:18 “This will be written for the generation to come, that a people yet to be created may praise the Lord.”
There is this generation that is on the rising that is causing the whole of heavens to rejoice. We are of this generation that God has been speaking about. You have been thinking, speaking, talking and writing about us being this very generation that is on the rising.
For You to be thinking, speaking, talking and writing about us for such a long period just speaks of our importance to You. You are there doing all these with such excitement and anticipation within Your heart as You have all these visions running through Your very mind. Now as the day is approaching, You and the whole host of heavens are rejoicing because all that’s spoken, and written is coming into fulfillment.
It’s just like us planning a party for someone who’s precious and whom we love very much. We start our planning by talking about it and writing it down. Even as we do this, we have the image of the person in our mind and we can see the very expression of the person. As the day of the party gets closer, we get more and more excited. When the very day approaches, we can see all that we have been talking and planning about coming into reality right before our eyes. The excitement is just overwhelming!
That is how You feel about us everyday. The whole host are in excitement and rejoicing over us because everyday we are rising and rising to be the very generation as how You have said. Just for me to know that everyday I have You and the whole host of heaven getting so excited and rejoicing over me is just simply amazing. Everyday is a new day as I begin to realize that I am so important, valuable and precious to You.
For You to be thinking, speaking, talking and writing about me that long that itself speaks of how important I am to You. I am precious to You! I am in Your mind always!! :p
We would walk into the fulfillment of what was spoken by You about us. We would also be the very vessel that not only hears Your word but desire that Your very word be executed in our lives.
We are the very EPICENTER for all these things to happen on the earth!!! This is so exciting!!! I’m the very EPICENTER where all things in heaven must breakout in and through me first before it can reach others………to be continued

Characteristics of a breakthrough believer (Part 1)
The Finishing Generation consists of these breakthrough believers who have these clear distinctive characteristics in them. Their unique features allow them to be singled out from the masses. (Below are my thoughts to papa's points featured in the book)
1. Moved ahead to pioneer a new move of God.
We as breakthrough believer we are meant to move ahead and pioneer as we are the leaders carrying the future in us. We must realize that we are not to be on par or behind others but we are meant to be AHEAD! WE ARE DESTINED TO BE AHEAD!!
We are ahead because we are there to pioneer God's standard, His ways in solving issues and etc. All these is because we are the future and carry it within us that why we are always ahead. It is because we are the future, we are ahead therefore we would be able to see and encounter the limitations, trials, challenges and boundaries that's before us. It's when we begin to rise to break and prevail against all these that we could set His standard and advance His kingdom.
We are meant to be ahead to pioneer therefore we should never fear or be frustrated by every trials, problems, challenges, limitation and boundaries as God has put within us the seed which is the "ability" to break and rise above all these.
We must begin to realize that we carry this very powerful see in us. This seed carries the" very ability" to just rise and begin to break every limitation and boundaries that's before us. Seeds are powerful even though they are small in size yet it's strong and is able to reproduce its own kind which are bigger in size.
John 12:24 says"I tell you the truth, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds."
I'm amazed at how small the size of the seeds are. For example, the tomato seeds are so tiny yet when you let it fall into the ground and die, it is able to rise and grow into a plant that is able to bear many of its fruit and carry/sustain its very weight. It is amazing just to know that the seed itself carry such power and ability within itself.
Just with one seed it's able to reproduce many of it's own kind. Just with one life, it can reproduce so many more lives. This seed is very powerful. This seed carries the "ability" to rise and prevail against whatever limitations and boundaries. This seed "ability" is within me, now!
Just like the natural it would just grow and rise and bear fruit natural once it comes in contact with the ground. Likewise in the same manner, the seed"ability" within me is just waiting to come into contact with limitation, boundaries, challenges or problems so that it can begin to just break out naturally with all it's force, strength and power to rise above it all.
That's why as breakthrough believer we would no longer be like the previous generation that cry out asking for God's help whenever they encounter problems or trails as they would just thrive on all these because the seed "ability" is within them just waiting to break out with all its force and power to prevail against all these. Besides, You are always there with us and You have put this in us therefore how can we still cry out to You to help us. It would be like a student asking for the teacher to sit for his/her exams on their behalf. That's not right!
All the we need is within us already! That's why breakthrough believers just thrive for limitations and boundaries as they know they would breakthrough it naturally and easily because of the seed "ability" within them.
That's why breakthrough believers are not just looking forward towards the future but are living it out now! They are landscaping everything around them as to the every future they are seeing within them. Breakthrough believers no longer fear of the boundaries and limitations that's in the future as we are meant to be ahead as we would be breaking every limitations and boundaries that's before us!!
WE ARE DESTINED TO BE AHEAD TO PIONEER A NEW MOVE OF GOD!!
GOD"S STANDARD AND WAYS ARE HERE STAY!!

A Prince whose heart is after the King
It was in a recent conversation with a dear friend, Ps. Mike that sparked these very thoughts and writings.You do see that he's the one giving me work to do. He have me do all this studying and digging about this person, Mephibosheth. You must remember him well :D
Here's a brief compilation of what we have talked and what i have studied:-
I believe that we have not really live that very life that God has planned for us.
We are actually settling for something way lesser and are contented with it. This should not be the way to live.
It's just like Mephibosheth. Mephibosheth is Jonathan's son
(2 Sam 4:4).
I find it interesting that his name is meant as "dispeller of shame". He's actually the one that is meant to drive away all shame. He forgot the meaning of his name and he lived a life not knowing his actual worth and value till the King came.(this I'm not sure so i would leave it to the Greek and Hebrew scholar, Ps. Mike to deal with this :)
He saw himself as a shameful servant (2 Sam 4:6,8) but it was the King that restored him back and set him on the path to live life as a prince as intended, dispelling all shame.
In Your eyes, when we settle for less, we are in the same state as Mephibosheth. Our actual place is with You at Your very table. (2 Sam 9: 7) In the eyes of the world, we feel we have what we need, achieve what we want and are contented/successful. We feel this is what life is all about. But then it's in Your eyes, in Your very eyes, You see how far we fall short from what You have prepared for us. There's such a vast difference in the very life that You have prepared for us with what we choose to settle with. In Your eyes, we are living in a shameful state. Forgetting the very lineage that we came from and how we should be carrying ourselves. How we forget easily because we condition or conformed by the world that we live in.
Like Mephiboseth, he saw his own condition till he was conformed by it that he forgot that he carried the kingly lineage within him. He actually was quite content with where he is and was prepared to live like that. This changed when he was summoned to have an encounter with the King! That changed his destiny! We are meant to be with the King at His table. That's why, it's not right for us to be waiting for crumbs at the table when our seats are empty at the King's table.
All Mephibosheth needed was just an encounter with King and all was changed. He began to start living the life that he was meant to. It was the King, himself that knew Mephibosheth carried the royal lineage in him right from the beginning. The King, restored and brought him back to his original purpose and place.
I know that Mephibosheth encounter with the King is real. This encounter has him set his heart for the King only and not the posessions. Mephibosheth was seated as a prince but he was a prince whose heart is for the King. Even when the King was away, Mephibosheth expressed his longing for the return of the King safely.
2 Sam 19:24 "Mephibosheth, Saul's grandson, also went down to meet the king. He had not taken care of his feet or trimmed his mustache or washed his clothes from the day the King left until he returned safely."
*Mephibosheth after the encounter began to rise above the very limitation he had. He may be limited in the physical but because of the very encounter with the King, he rose to go beyond as all he wanted to be was with the King. Where the King goes, he wants to go too.
2 Sam 19: 26 "He said, "My lord the king, since i your servant am lame, I said, "I will have my donkey saddled and will ride on it, so i can go with the king." But Ziba my servant betrayed me."
*Many times, we know we have had the encounter with Him, our hearts long for Him and want to rise to be with Him. But we fall short is because the enemy would deceive us into thinking that this is unnecessary because of our present condition. What is our condition? Our condition where we begin to conform to our present situation as we feel that to meet our own needs/conditions/our inconvenience are more important therefore we can't rise to be with the King. We think that by offering Him our services by doing ministry, attending church, allowing our children to serve Him, pay our tithes and etc would be sufficient. (2 Sam 16:1-2)
*The enemy is just like Ziba has set out to deceived us into thinking all these is sufficient and that the King would understand our conditions and would be pleased. This is how he robbed us from our very inheritance that the King has for us. Just like what Ziba did.(2 Sam 16: 4)
*It's not that the doing is wrong, we still need to do but we must begin to to know what the King is looking for. He is looking at our heart. What is the real motivation in our doing? Is it because our encounter with Him that cause us to rise and be driven with such passion for Him or are we looking at our convenience.
*We must begin to rise above our limitations! Rise to be with the King. Even when at battle, He is asking for Mephibosheth! (2 Sam 16:3) The very encounter we have with the King must cause us to rise and break very limitations and boundaries to be with Him. We must rise to tell Him that we are here for You! At all times , the King has rise again and again to tell us He is with us because we are dwelling in His palace, well protected at His very refuge but when He's out in battlefield, where are His princes......
*We must rise above every of our imitation and be with Him even when it's inconvenient to us, we must be there with Him especially at the battlefield. As our presence is important to Him! This reminds me of what papa JD said during the preparation for Revival Conference Now. Papa was saying that all of us must be there even if it's going to be inconvenient for us, we must still rise to be there cause our presence would make a difference. How true! Papa as a father needed all his sons to be with him as he is out in the battlefield as it would give him much added strength and courage. It's not that You're not there but he as a father, it brings him such strength and rest from within him to know that true sons are there with him. Sons whose heart is for him.
*Just like the King, it's not that he did not know how to fight the battle with His armies. Besides with Mephibosheth in such condition how could he fight. The king knew of his condition well but yet He was asking for Mephibosheth. The King wanted to see if Mephibosheth could push himself to rise above his very physical limitation. He wanted to see where is his heart.
That's why our encounter with the King would cause us to begin to rise above our inconvenience/limitations to assure Him that our heart is for Him and that we are there for Him in the palace and out in the battlefield.
This encounter, Mephibosheth had with the King has caused him to see what is more precious and valuable. Mephibosheth was willing to give up life and the fields as he knew there was nothing more valuable and worth than just to have the King arrived home safely.
2 Sam 19:27-30. Mephibosheth could have said many things to justify himself in receiving his portion but yet he consider all these as nothing to having the King, himself.
Very interesting is that now, Mephibosheth say the King has arrived home safely. Earlier on he longed for the King's returned but now Mephibosheth knows he is standing before the King. He is there ready to welcome the King.
2 Sam 19:30 "Mephibosheth said to the king, "Let him take everything, now that my lord and king has arrived home safely."
Similarly we are meant to live as princes since we are the sons of the King of Kings. But we must all have our own encounter with the King. So that our hearts and nature are changed, as one that's for Him only. Live the life as a prince as how the King has set for us and rising to assure Him that we are here only for Him.
Hmm....I want to end this post with this song "A heart after you". I feel this song is able to match this post's title though it may not fully reflect the post and how i really feel but the words, "a heart after you" is true and it's from my heart to You.
