From the Blood to the Fire



We began a new spiritual year by celebrating the Feast of Passover on the 7th of April 2012. More than 50 days later we concluded a season with the Feast of Pentecost, the Feast of Fire & Power! The spiritual journey of Passover to Pentecost takes us from the redemption of the Blood to the sanctification by Fire. In God's master plan, a believer must go through a process of being "justified by faith" to sanctification and finally to glorification.


 The Feast of Pentecost was celebrated thousands of years before Acts 2. It was a commemoration of the giving of the Torah in Exodus 19 when Israel left Egypt and arrived at Sinai to receive God's commandments. The 120 disciples in Acts 2 were obeying a commandment their forefathers obeyed and received the seal of the New covenant when the Holy Spirit descended when the "fullness of Pentecost" had arrived.

"And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God,
by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption"
Ephesians 4:30


The Holy Spirit is so precious to believers that Jesus warned in Matthew 25 that there are some who are "foolish" or careless with His "oil". Only those who had His anointing oil OVERFLOWING were able to enter into the Marriage Supper. The Church at this hour is at the "sleeping" mode waiting for the Bridegroom but it is the 11th hour and the call is about to be made.

"Awake, you who sleep,
Arise from the dead,
And Christ will give you LIGHT."
Ephesians 5:14



Feast times are declaration times! The Heavens open and His children have been listening to the moves of the Spirit and are ready to declare into the Heavenlies! Such exciting times, you just wouldn't want to miss it!

Lord pour out Your Spirit! We are waiting, we are hungry for our Harvest!
Prophetic declaration and words were released by the "Joshua" generation

We are in a season and in the "7th day" where God is ready to perform His Word and there shall be NO MORE DELAY! (Ezekiel 12) We are the generation who will witness the greatest Outpouring of His Spirit that the prophet Joel had seen in Joel 2. What an hour we are in!


During worship, Stephanie painted a vision she saw of the Holy Spirit hovering over us.

Season of our joy


Feast of Tabernacles
12 October 2011
Leviticus 23:33-44
"Also on the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when you have gathered in the fruit of the land, you shall keep the feast of the Lord for seven days..."

When God set up the pattern on His feasts, He really meant for us to feast! Both physically and spiritually of course. In Israel, temporary "sukkots" would be set up as part of remembrance that God is our covering. Every sukkot had an "open door" meaning anyone could come in and fellowship and enjoy that same covering. It was God's pattern to include the Gentiles into His family!


Let the Feast begin!

With 7 blasts of the shofar around the chupah, we entered the Feast of Tabernacles! The chupah in the centre is a prophetic symbol to remind the Bride of her marriage to Jesus Christ. We celebrate yearly to remind ourselves to get our wedding garments ready for He's returning SOON!


"...and you shall rejoice before the Lord your God for seven days." Leviticus 23:40b
Dancers arrayed in white to symbolise the wedding garment of the Bride. Celebration, dancing, shouting, rejoicing before the Father!




Glory covering

During Passover, we entered a Blood covering which speaks of our salvation. At Pentecost, the Fire of God covers us just like in Zechariah 2:5 and the fire sanctifies us. Finally at Tabernacles, we enter the GLORY COVERING! The "sukkot" or tabernacle is a symbol of His glory covering over our lives. This final step is GLORIFICATION!

Isaiah 4:5
"...then the Lord will create above every dwelling place of Mount Zion, and above her assemblies, a cloud and smoke by day and the shining of a flaming fire by night. For over all the glory there will be a covering."


It's the Season of our Joy!

The joy of the Lord is our strength! We celebrate vibrantly and worship violently that the Heavens break into the Earth! Gain your strength now for the next season!


Dancing around the chupah "a wedding chamber". It's not only time to dance around but to also enter into the King's chambers! (Song of Solomon 1:4)

A feast brings all generations together to worship


Soaking in His Presence under the chupah

Fruitfulness!

Come up to the Feast

"You go up to this feast... for My time has not yet fully come." John 7:8

The Feast of Tabernacles found in Leviticus 23 is a prophetic feast of the Marriage Supper of the Lamb. It is a feast which looks forward to His coming in Glory. In John 7:8, the prophetic voice is still the same - His time is not yet come but we are to still honour this feast. Till He comes again, we wait anxiously and expectantly for our Bridegroom, Yeshua!

Feast of Trumpets

The Opening of the Gates!

Every year we celebrate the Feasts of the Lord (Leviticus 23), we receive a Word from Him. We celebrate with knowledge and revelation. And this year at the turning of a new Hebrew Year 5772, we entered His gates with shouts of joy & thanksgiving (Psalm 100)!

Rosh Hashana, meaning "new year", also means "the opening of the gates". As God unfolds a new year and opens the books of heaven, He reveals that there are open gates for His children to possess and enter!

In Psalm 118: 20, we'll walk through the gates of righteousness! In Genesis 24:60, we'll POSSESS the gates of our enemies! In Isaiah 28:6, we'll turn back the battle at the gates (meaning to send them back to where they came from)!

Jesus declared in Matthew 16:18, He's building a church which the gates of hell cannot prevail against. And don't forget the 'ancient gates' in Psalm 24 will open for the King of Glory!

In this new year, we not only enter through the gates but also possess the areas of our lives back for Jesus! Shana T'ova and have a blessed year ahead!

Keep the Fire burning!


Passover to Pentecost 2011

Pentecost is celebrated approximately 50 days after Passover. After the Exodus out of Egypt, the house of bondage, the children of Israel received the 10 commandments at Sinai on the "third day" (Exodus 19). It was a public introduction between Creator and His creation. No other nation can say "God spoke to us out of the Fire" (Deut 4).

Led by a cloud by day and a fire by night
From the redemption by the Blood
To the Freedom in the Fire
We are on our way to Glory
Waiting for the Redeemer's glorious appearance
Give us more oil
that we may burn till His Return

The blasts of the shofar! To announce the celebration of Pentecost, the Feast of Harvest!

No celebration begins without shouts of praise and thanksgiving! (Psalm 100:4) Every "holy convocation", including our weekly sabbath, is a celebration and we shouldn't come in "empty handed" - to declare our God is GREAT!

Fiery banners signifying the fire of God that fell in Acts 2. Pentecost is the Feast of Fire, celebrating the HOLY SPIRIT!

On Pentecost, we remember our covenant with YHVH as our "Husband". This feast is liken to a Bride's ENGAGEMENT. When we received the Holy Spirit as our Gift, it's liken to receiving an engagement ring as a sign of engagement. He is also our "guarantor" of redemption. Without this "seal of redemption", how will the Redeemer recognise us at point of redemption? (See 2 Corinthians 1:21-22, Ephesians 1:13-14, 4:30)


Be the wise virgin, full of oil and full of Fire!

Passing over to the Resurrection!


We are in a Season of Feasting! It's Passover moving into Firstfruits, counting down to Pentecost. It's an exciting time to be sitting at the feet of the Master to hear Him say "Rejoice!"
The 7 feasts of the Lord are outlined clearly in Leviticus 23 but there's always that haunting question "Aren't you going back to the bondage of the Law?"

There is FREEDOM before the Feast (Exodus 5:1). We are honouring the prophetic significance of the Feasts and not performing the ritual requirements because Jesus IS the ultimate sacrifice. We are led by the Spirit in honouring these Feasts and where the Spirit of God is there is true LIBERTY! (2 Corinthians 3:17, Galatians 5:18)

Before any and every Feast, there is GREAT PREPARATION and Abba is generous with pouring in His revelation from His word. Fresh manna (Exo. 16)!


Come into the Feast! Passover signifies great Liberty and Victory. This year the Lord revealed that we're not only celebrating a feast because Jesus Christ IS the Passover Lamb (1 Cor. 5:7-8)! He also promised that He will celebrate it with us once again (Luke 22:15-16).

Prayer for Israel, Yahveh's beloved
Thus says the Lord: "Israel is My son, My firstborn"

Don't go back to Egypt! We're already OUT! The Lord brings us out so that He can bring us in - to prosperity, health, peace and all His goodness. The Lord not only saved us but He saved us by His Name, YHVH AND by His mighty right arm (Exodus 6:6)!

Great time of dancing and celebrating just like Miriam did with the tambourine in Exodus 15:21
"Sing to the LORD,
For He has triumped gloriously!
The horse and its rider
He has thrown into the sea!"




A Feast of Resurrection! It's the 3rd day Church rising!

3 days after Passover we celebrated the Feast of Firstfruits where Jesus having been raised from the dead became the Firstborn of the dead. And like the song goes "When He arose, He defeated our enemies!"

Season of Miracles! Jesus appeared to His disciples for 40 days after Passover leading to Pentecost in Acts 2. In Moses' time, Israel experienced God's awesome provision of Manna, Quail & Water from the Rock.

He's no longer the Lamb that was slain. He is now the Lamb full of power and glory (Rev. 5:6)!

Thank You Father for Your Son!
Thank You Jesus for Your Love!
Thank You Holy Spirit for we are waiting for the greatest outpouring,
greater than Pentecost in Acts 2!

Pentecost 2010

St Peter's Main Sanctuary
18th May 2010


The Feast of Pentecost (Leviticus 23:15-18), also known as Shavuot, commemorates the giving of the 10 Commandments on Mt Sinai in Exodus 19. It also commemorates the Birth of the Church in Acts 2. In both the historical and prophetic fulfillment of this Feast, God's glory appears as FIRE (Exodus 24:17, Acts 2: 1-4, Hebrews 12:29). The fire of God is also His Word (Jeremiah 23:29) and His Spirit (Isaiah 4: 4b, Acts 2:3, Revelation 4:5).

The Feast of Pentecost is also known as the Feast of Harvest (Exodus 23:16). It's a time to rejoice because we're coming into the storehouse with our harvest - remember where you've sown in order to REAP your harvest! See also Joel 2, Psalm 126. When it is Harvest time, we must be diligent to reap the harvest IMMEDIATELY - do not be slow to believe, do not be slow to move with His Spirit! (Mark 4:26-29)

The Lord chooses the place where His burnt offerings are made, and likewise the Feasts of the Lord (Deuteronomy 12:14). This year, Holy Fire Creations were THRUST into the main sanctuary of St Peter's Church almost overnight! Such is being led by His Holy Spirit ^^

Come up to the Feasts! Come up to Zion, the city of our appointed feasts! (Isaiah 33:20)

Remember Malaysia O Lord, YAHVEH!
May His fire of Holiness ignite the Church and the Nation


Word of the Lord for Pentecost 2010

The promise of Isaiah 10:27 regarding the Anointing oil that DESTROYS the yokes of bondage will soon come into reality! It is not only to chase away our enemies but to completely destroy them like David slaying Goliath.

 "Do not say, 'There are still four months and then comes the harvest'? Behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes and look at the fields, for they are already white for harvest!" John 4:35
 May God cause your eyes to see your harvest in a new way!


Freedom Fire

Holy Fire Creations received a "Freedom Candle" from Chuck Pierce's ministry a few days before Pentecost (it was truly a surprise- TQ Abba!). It was lit up on Pentecost night to give thanks and remember our FREEDOM IN CHRIST JESUS (Galatians 5:1).

"I want to come to the altar and catch the fire
To stand in the gap between the living and the dead
Give us a heart of compassion for a world without vision
We will make the difference bringing hope to the land"

Each person received a candle to perform a prophetic act by coming to the altar to receive the "Freedom candle" flame. Jesus said in John 8:12 "I AM the Light of the World. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the LIGHT OF LIFE." We are also known as "children of light" in John 13:26. Thank You Jesus!

"Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven." Matthew 5:16

"Lord light the Fires of Revival
And let it begin with me
I am willing to pay the price
to see the souls set free

Lord help me to sacrifice my life
That You might live Yours through me
Lord light the Fires of Revival
And let it begin with me"

This is our prayer for Revival - let it begin with you and me. Shalom.

Prepare the Way for the King

Our God is a God of Preparation. This was John's message in the wilderness. It's the promise to the prophets who hear His voice (Amos 3:7). Before every great Revival, the Lord will prepare a people and a place.

Much preparation, of the heart, is done before entering any Feasts of the Lord. The foundation of the Word and the Spirit is vital. These photographs were taken in the "upper room" of St Peter's Church during our preparation night before Passover.

The room was filled with excitement and holy anticipation as we worshipped! Even the angels were dancing with us!

Sister Marianne testified during the worship she felt drops of "rain" on her hands. At first she thought it was water leaking from the roof. However, when she felt her hand, it was dry. As she pondered about it, she felt it again and again - gentle rain drops on her arm, then shoulders. She knew that God was not only present but His Presence was tangible! Wow!  Another sister also testified of feeling "rain" drops on her hand thinking it was a leak in the roof! Let the former and latter rain fall Lord!

"Be glad then, you children of Zion, and rejoice in the LORD your God; For He has given you the former rain faithfully, and He will cause the rain to come down for you - the former rain, and the latter rain in the first month. The threshing floors shall be full of wheat, and the vats shall overflow with new wine and oil." Joel 2:23,24

Note: The feast times are in accordance to Harvest times in Jerusalem. During Passover, it is the harvest of barley. They give thanks to Yahveh for the former rain that will come to prepare the ground and the latter rain that will eventually bring in the harvest. Praise be to God. May your threshing floors be FULL of wheat. May your vats OVERFLOW with new wine and oil!

The Lord's Passover 29 Mar 2010

"...It is the Lord's Passover.
Now the blood shall be a sign for you on the houses where you are.
And when I see the blood, I will pass over you; and the plague shall not be on you to destroy you when I strike the land of Egypt. So this day shall be to you a memorial; and you shall keep it as a feast to the LORD throughout your generations." Exodus 12:11, 13,14 (emphasis added)

"Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them: 'The feasts of the LORD, which you shall proclaim to be holy convocations, these are My feasts'" Leviticus 23:2 (emphasis added)

The Feasts of the Lord (not of Israel) are prophetic rehearsals and proclamations. It also helps us keep in timing with the Lord. Every ten years, we come one FULL cycle. This year being 2010, we begin the next cycle with a BANG!

A real feast for the body and soul - we had chef Isaac prepare this year's Passover lamb. It is only symbolic as we truly feast with Jesus, our Passover Lamb (1 Cor. 5: 7b). 


Celebrate Jesus! Celebrate the FINISHED work of Jesus on the Cross of Calvary! We worship as we enter a Season of Liberty & Deliverance!


Prophetic war dance by Sister Jaclyn Chooi

Who is like Thee, O Lord in all the earth?
Who is like Thee? Lord there is none else
Who is like Thee O Lord among all the gods?
Lord there is none else

Welcoming the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit with blast of 3 silver trumpets

Declarations & Prayer for the Nations

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem:
"May they prosper who love you. Peace be within your walls, prosperity within your palaces." For the sake of my brethren (in Malaysia) and companions, I will now say, "Peace be within you." Because of the house of the LORD our God I will seek your good." Psalm 122:6-9

O Malaysia, lift up your voice!
O Malaysia, lift up your gates!
The King of Glory is coming!
Lift up your heads!

Holy Communion administered by Brother Jeffrey Ng

The true Passover meal under the new covenant is the Holy Communion - the blood and body of Jesus Christ (John 6:53-58). When we partake of the Passover, we are partaking of Jesus (1 Cor. 5:7).

"Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, nor with the leaven of malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth." 1 Cor. 5:8

Jesus Himself honoured the Passover feast at the famous Last Supper. 
"Then He said to them, "With fervent desire I have desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer..." Luke 22:15a

It is this very meal we will partake with Him when He returns.
"...for I say to you, I will no longer eat of it until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God." Luke 22:15b


"Kiss the Lamb"


Shout of VICTORY! Let the walls come tumbling down!
We're not going to make bricks and suffer hard labour anymore!
We are the Redeemed of the Lord, we are FREE!


The Feast of Unleavened Bread is the next day after Passover and is celebrated for 7 days.
The Feast of Firstfruits celebrates that JESUS IS ALIVE! 1st April 2010
We are on a 50-day countdown to Pentecost 2010 (sundown 18 May)
