I started off the year halfway into reading a book titled 'Face to Face with God' by Bill Johnson. Throughout the time reading this book, my hunger and thirst for God was at an all time high. In other words, I was desperate for God. I was desperate to see the all illusive "face of God".
Three months passed where life and ministry were at a steady pace. Some good happenings where I saw some souls being saved through my disciples such as Miikael and Chris Chua recommitting his life to Jesus in January. A girl named Nanthini was also saved and began to see visions and hear God's voice. In February we saw another girl accepting Christ into her life called Yi Xin and an unchurch Christian named Vyonne came to church and experienced God real in her life as well.
I also was appointed to serve as the Worship Coordinator for my local church's worship squad. It has been an honor and privilege to lead a wonderful group of revivalist the past year. (Here's a side note that came to mind while writing this post. God spoke to me 6 years back that I would lead a worship team and 6 years later without me imposing anything or promoting myself, here I am. That's what you call a fulfillment of a vision being impregnated in your heart for a period of time.)
Through all this excitement and new people and tasks coming across my life, I still was in a state of desperation for a personal encounter with the face 'I AM'.
On March the 3-5, I was told by my dad that he got some free registration for a conference in Singapore and he wanted me and my brother to go with him. I heard that the speaker would be Randy Clark and at that time I didn't know who this person was except that I heard rumors that this man was the "si-fu" of Bill Johnson (the guy that wrote the book I was reading). Honestly, I was pretty hesitant to go because by nature I HATE TRAVELLING!!!
But by force I was shipped off to Singapore against my will (these are the times where your leader/father knows what's best for you).
On the first day of the conference we got our conference's tag and it wrote "Healing & Impartation 2011". I was thinking to myself, "Great. Something I already know and practice. This is gonna be a waste of time". Little did I know what was about to happen next would change my life forever. Thank God for His grace but I think by this time I was at His mercy.
To cut the long story short, at the end of one of the sessions called 'Baptism of the Spirit', the feeling of being desperate to meet God face to face started bubbling in my spirit again. With my hands raised in desperation and my eyes closed, I was hit by the power of God and my whole body started to shake uncontrollably. It was not long that I heard people crying and noises on the floor as if things were dropping (they were humans). I believe that a massacre happened that day where many people died to the world and resurrected alive in God. After the whole trip to Singapore, I wondered to myself, "Will anything change this time?" You have to understand that I've been a Christian since I was in my mother's womb and I have encounter the tangible presence of God many times in my life. That is why this question came to mind.
It was exactly a month later, on April the 6th, as we were worshiping in church in the morning that I saw two angels in the form of a whirlwind spinning around the church hall violently. It was a shocking phenomenon as I was standing in awe. Then Jesus appeared to me, standing in front of me. I went straight to hug Him as soon as I saw Him and I went into His being and He into me. He also gave me some things to bring back home. I won't go into the details of what they are for but in all He gave me 3 things - a pair of boots, a purple robe with golden inlays and an necklace of an emblem of promise that He is always with me. I then turned around and as I started to stride off, I turned into a black stallion and I was then in the church hall again.
As the day went by, my memory of what had happened was still so clear in my mind. I hadn't even given time to think whether it was my own imagination or was it a vision or "WHAT THE HECK JUST HAPPENED?!", that it was already the next day - 7th of April, the day of the outbreak of glory invasion church wide.
Here are some of the dates that I managed to record down when I had glory encounters (by the way, 2011 was also the year I started using a diary. Started using in January before all of these things. What a year to start heh?) - 6-10 April, 15-17 April, 22 April, 24 April, 27 April, 29 April, 1 May, 20 May, 27 May, 21 June, 3 July, 10 July, 15 July, 29 July, 7 August, 26 August (multiple times), 16 September, 16 December. All these has made my relationship with God grow into an intimacy like never before. Prophecies through me are sharper than ever, His revelations quicker and clearer than ever, my identity surer than ever, my inner world "kingdomized" than ever and His perfect love and affection for me tangible than ever before.
I also was privileged and blessed throughout the year to have gone to a few more conference by sought after fivefold leaders such as James Goll (Open Heaven Conference, Singapore), Dan MacCollam (School of Supernatural Ministry, Singapore) and Rodney Howard Brown & David Newberry (Asia Ablaze, Malaysia). WHC Wind & Fire Camp was also a great time of ministering and soaking (I don't have much to say about the camp because I was serving and doing the games most part of it. I have lots of joy from this too because everyone had a GG time - Grace & Glory time).
I was also blessed to sit under some superb heavenly revelation Sunday after Sunday by our senior church leaders, David & Gloria Wong. Sermons such as 'Shema Shema-A Hearing Heart', 'The Former and Latter Rain', 'The Acts of the Holy Spirit', 'Deeply Loved, Highly Favored, Richly Blessed, Powerfully Anointed, Always Successful', 'A Transformed Mind', still ringing bells in me.
The end of the year was now my time to be the revivalist. I thank God and still do for giving me an opportunity to speak to a youth camp last December. It was a glorious time where I witness youths being impacted by the glory and grace of God. The fire of the Holy Spirit was moving and by the end of the camp, we saw miracles of uneven legs growing, people seeing angels and heaven for the first time in their life and mindsets of old being broken and replaced with the kingdom perspective.
Many others were also added to the kingdom of God. Around 18 people were saved through my disciples. Many people think that I am a great leader but truth be told, that is only part of the equation. The other half of it is I have wonderful disciples. My job is fairly easy because of such humble and sacrificial people. Just right qualities for revivalists in the making.
I want to give thanks for the past year and be fully satisfied by it but still ravenously hungry for Him this year. I believe that this is the year of fulfillment and the start of a perpetual unstoppable jubilee. This is the year of the end of the world and the beginning of the kingdom. I would like to end this post with the offering statement we read in church. Let it be a value system we subconsciously live by and not just a lifeless repetition. Let's read it out together :D
Ready? 1... 2... go!
As we go through this year
We are believing You for:
Heaven opened, Earth Invaded
Storehouses unlocked, and Miracles created;
Dreams and Visions, Angelic Visitations
Declarations, Visitations, and Divine Manifestations,
Anointing, Gifting, and Calls,
Positions, and promotions,
Provisions and Resources,
to go to the nations;
Souls and more souls,
from every generations,
Saved and set free,
Carrying Kingdom revelation!
Thank You, Father, that as I join my value system to Yours, You will shower FAVOR, BLESSINGS and INCREASE upon me so I have more than enough to co-labor with Heaven and see JESUS get His FULL REWARD.
Hallelujah!!!!!!
