Kuantan 20 June 2010

To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven. A time to sow, and a time to reap. Timing is very important to God. So it ought to be important to us too. The timing of His birth, of His death, and now awaiting the timing for His glorious return.

Coming to the half year mark in 2010 brought about a consciousness of His timing for this year. It was an end of one cycle and the beginning of another cycle. For Ps Grace Glory Dan returning for what seemed to be a school reunion turned out to be much more.

Gathering in the fruits of her labour alongside fellow teachers and students of MGSS Kuantan class of 1977. God also has His timing for honour. Well done class of '77!

It was the time & opportunity to visit Christian Baptist Church in Kuantan after almost 8 years. Pastors Chris & Grace Glory Dan shepherded the flock in Kuantan for more than 2 decades before the Lord moved them to KL city. Ps Chris (picture) sharing on that Sunday morning service which happened to be Father's Day - right on time.

Hi-lights of Australia Trip

The Blue Mountains

Let all creation praise the Lord!

The weather was pleasant for us to visit the mountains and we stood in awe at the work of His hands.

Glory girls on top of the mountains!

Spiritual encounters

During this trip to Australia, we heard of many encounters of the God kind. May these testimonies give glory to God and prepare us for His coming. Actual names are not used for discretion purposes.

A dream that saved

"Kay" had come from a staunch Sikh background that did not permit a change of religion, especially to Christianity. The consequences was that she would be ostracised from all her family. However, the Lord gave her a dream. She dreamt that she was in the clouds and she was dressed in white. As she looked around, she saw an army in white galloping on the clouds. There was a man in white, riding on a white horse. He had a crown on His head and a sword in His hand. As they were galloping on the clouds, she looked down and saw people she knew and asked "That's so and so, how come they're not coming with us?".

Not knowing what the dream meant or who that Man was on the horse, she related it to a christian relative. Upon hearing about the dream, the relative told Kay that she just had a dream about the rapture and the Man was Jesus in Revelation 19. Being curious, asking about the rapture and about Jesus, she accepted Christ.

Kay faced tremendous amount of persecution especially from her father. He refused to talk to her though they lived and worked together. Everyday, Kay would pray and stand upon the word in Joel 2 "old men shall dream dreams". At the end of 2 years, the Lord appeared to Kay's father in a dream! Kay's father knew undoubtedly that it was Jesus Christ and he accepted Him as his Saviour. Now, her family are all saved. Praise be to God!

2 Mothers

Abu and Anna were both muslims until the Lord visited them and they got saved. Being excited they both tried to evangelise to their respective mothers. Anna's mother heard the gospel and accepted Christ into her life. However, Abu's mother refused to believe that Jesus is the Son of God. Both mothers passed on in due time. One day, Abu and Anna's son had a dream. "I saw both my grandmothers. Your (Anna's) mother was very happy and she kept asking me to come play with her. But your (Abu's) mother was very sad and she told me "Tell my son, Bubu, that he was right and I was wrong. I should have listen to him. I'm sorry. Tell him I'm sorry."" Upon hearing this, Abu was taken aback as no one knew his nickname "Bubu" except his own mother! It confirmed that their son's dream was real and so was the warning.

Up & Above

The Lord can choose to move suddenly in and around us, and when He does we must be ready to let go of our own plans and desires, and move quickly with Him. Trying to go against the flow of the Spirit would be like kicking against the goad (Acts 9:5). The prophet Malachi records for us that the Lord can suddenly appear in His temple, the condition is that we must be constantly seeking Him (Malachi 3:1).

The idea of going to Australia, be it on holiday or ministry, had never entered our hearts or minds. Like a whirlwind, the Lord orchestrated that Ps Grace Glory and two armour bearers, D'vorah Chan and Frances Voon, would visit Melbourne and Sydney in mid-October. Planning time: 3 weeks! This turned out to be a significant trip to the land "down under" for Holy Fire Creations to spread the Fire & the Glory and declare it to be the land "up & above"!

Divine Connections

In Scripture, divine connections are important to one's own destiny and ministry (like Paul and Barnabas, David and Jonathan). The Lord chooses to work through His servants. Only having few friends in Melbourne & Sydney, we had to depend on the Lord for "divine connections" and we ended up catching an end-time strategy of God's, invading homes with the glory!

Melbourne, Victoria

14-17 October, 2009

L to R: Elizabeth, Ps Grace Glory, Lucy

The Lord made connections in Melbourne through God's servant, Elizabeth (originally from Kuala Lumpur). At times in Scripture, Jesus would minister to small or large groups, or just one (like the woman at the well in John 4). Numbers in masses don't impress God, the hunger in their hearts is what attracts Him. And "hunger (for God)" is what we found!

Meeting other fellow Malaysians in Melbourne and sharing "present truth"

Open hearts and Open homes

But whatever house you enter, first say "Peace (Shalom) to this house."

And if a son of peace (seeker of shalom) is there, your peace will rest (remain, abide)

on it; if not, it will return to you. Luke 10:5-6

In Melbourne, we were hosted by Frances' friends, Marlene & Jag. As we entered their home we greeted them with a "Shalom" blessing. Jag later testified, to God's glory, he literally felt the atmosphere change and could feel the tangible peace of the Prince of Peace. Unknown to us, Victoria has been suffering low rains and thus had been implementing restrictions to save water. When we arrived from Malaysia, it was reported to us that we "brought the rain" as it started raining non-stop the first two days upon our arrival! Even Nature responds to the Glory of God! (Mark 4:39 records for us how the winds obeyed Jesus' command, also see James 5:18.)

The first two days upon our arrival the Lord had us to minister in homes.

The glory is invading homes! (Above picture taken in Lucy's home)

On the second night, the Lord opened up another home to the fire & the glory in Melbourne. Different callings, different ministries but ONE Lord, ONE Spirit, ONE Kingdom over all.

Teaching of the Word is vital to lay the proper Word foundation before impartion. Without knowledge, His people perish, in other words they cannot contain His glory without the word of God as a solid foundation in their lives (Hosea 4:6).

Praying and imparting to the youth

On the 3rd day of our visit, the Lord rewarded us with good weather and we visited the Dandenong Mountains with Frances' good friend, Erica Lin. We leisurely enjoyed our "Pie in the Sky" and scrumptious scones at Miss Marples. Yum!

Not a moment to waste - even to the last moment we managed to steal time to minister to our hosts in Melbourne, Marlene & Jag, at Tiger Airways Terminal before flying off to Sydney.

Sydney, New South Wales

17-22 October, 2009

"And I will show you wonders in the heavens (sky) and in the earth..." Joel 2:30

The moment we arrived in Sydney, walking out of the airport, we sighted this in the sky! The word "HOPE" was written in the Sydney sky by "sky writing". How awesome!

Before our very eyes, the "sky writer" began spelling out the Name above every other name - JESUS! As if that wasn't enough, it finished the sentence - JESUS IS LORD! wow! (We later discovered that this was part of the "Jesus all about life" campaign to promote Jesus over the airwaves of Australia.)

Along the way from the airport, we saw a "jalopy" dressed up as a bridal car.

It was a sign of that the "Bride (of Christ) is coming".

Minutes later we arrived in the city's Chinatown and on the corner was a street preacher preaching salvation unto Jesus with an apt sign reading "ARE YOU READY?". Check out the scripture poster that's next to the preacher - it's in BAHASA MALAYSIA!

Along with the street preacher were youth handing out Christian tracks that looked like large AUS$100 bills - "kaya kaya"!

Our hostess, sister Lai Chen, placed on each of our beds a "midnight snack" of chocolate - it was a bar of Milk Chocolate. She had also blessed us each with bottles of honey and the Lord began to speak "See in ONE day I've given you milk (chocolate) & honey as a sign that the land I'm bringing you into is a land of "milk & honey"". Thank You Jesus!

Bethel, house of God

Our hostess in Sydney, Lai Chen, was Ps Grace Glory Dan's student during her first year of service as a teacher. A few years ago, Lai Chen located Mrs Dan and the reconnection was made. However, it was to be another 2 years before meeting in persons. Since then, Lai Chen and her husband have prepared their home to be a "house for God".

From L to R: D'vorah, Lai Chen, Ps Grace Glory, Frances

Enjoying a home cooked meal with Lai Chen and her family. The Lord truly gave us a FEAST!

"You prepare a table (or banquet) before me in the presence of my enemies; You anoint my head with oil; my cup runs over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life; and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever." Psalm 23:5,6

L to R: Frances, Grace, Ps Grace Glory, Lai Chen

Breaking bread together is part of Kingdom family life. In the book of Acts, the apostles were recorded "breaking bread from house to house" (Acts 2:46) and the Lord would add to them.

 

Grace (in picture), is a good friend of Frances' who lives in Sydney. Bringing the message of Repentance is a key mandate of Holy Fire Creations ministries. Seen here praying repentance for personal and generational sins with Grace.

The house church is an end time strategy of God. That's how the First Church began. It began with hearts being drawn together - it is the LIVING STONES coming together to build Him a place to dwell.

In this high tech age, even the Word can be taught using a Playstation unit! James, Lai Chen's youngest son, helped the rest of us "oldies" figure a way to display the teachings without having a lap top or computer nearby. God uses children to display His Glory!

Enjoying the sights of Darling Harbour and of course, enjoying Aussie cuisine.

Our last supper

Melbourne

Before flying off home, we had a four hour stop-over in Melbourne in which the Lord truly rewarded us with a full-course meal. Marlene & Erica were kind enough to be our hosts for the night. We enjoyed one of the aspects of Australian cuisine, Italian flavours of pastas and pizzas. Yum Yum!

For the sweet girls, we went next door for more Italian flavours - gelato! Even though it was quite cold, we enjoyed our rainbow of flavours.

 To warm ourselves up before flying off, we enjoyed a taster platter at Koko Black. It proved to have the best chocolate ice cream we've all ever tasted!

Thank You Abba God for this wonderful and meaningful journey. We felt Your favour, love and glory all the way. May Australia be blessed as we were blessed. Set the Nation of Australia on FIRE for You God! Seal all the work of Your hand and the people You touched through us with the blood of Jesus. Amen.

Repentance 2-day Course, Homecell 2009

The Lord's Army is moving into homes! (Joel 2:9b) When Holy Fire Creations was invited to preach Repentance in Sungai Long, the first question everyone asked was "Where is that?". Well, the Lord expanded our territories and led us as far as Kajang to a home cell with a "little army" who were hungry and ready for the Presence of God.

Pastors leading worship

The course was spread over two Sundays and believers were set free from bondages, long time problems, generational curses.

"Repentance: The first key into God's Presence" taught by Ps Grace Glory

Raymond giving his testimony to glorify God that even his young daughter

noticed a "light" upon his face when he returned from the first session of teaching.

By the second session, we realised that the Lord had "overtaken" us with testimonies from participants who were set free even after the very first session. The Lord is our Mighty Deliverer! and through the powerful confession of sins, we are set free to worship and serve in the Kingdom of God.

Word Covenant Church, Ipoh 12 July 2009

Word Covenant Church in Ipoh is led by Pastor Joseph Loh and wife, Theresa.

Holy Fire Creations was invited on 12th July 2009 to minister the Fire & the Glory in their humble church in Ipoh. Sisters Esther Teh and Chew Ie joined in on this trip. It had been more than a year ago since their last visit to release the Fire to Word Covenant Church.

During worship, the Spirit of the Lord stirs up the prophetic Word of the Lord through Ps Grace Glory. Though they have visited Word Covenant and Ipoh many times, the Lord brought a fresh revelation for Ipoh that morning.

Heavenly Vision

While in Ipoh, Ps Grace Glory visited her Baptist uncle, Francis, who had undergone a major intestine operation on 4th June 2009. Holy Fire Creations team visited Uncle Francis and his family in their home to pray & minister to them.

Uncle Francis shared that one day, while in great pain, he cried out to Jesus to show him His face. He suddenly saw lights and felt like he was thrusted through a dark tunnel which he knew to be a terrible place, the Valley of the shadow of death (Psalm 23). In the second part of this vision, he was in another place in which he saw many beautiful flowers and mansions. He knew it to be Heaven. He saw, outside one of the mansions, an adult who was giving out gifts to children. He "returned" from this vision when he was awakened by a visiting relative.

Uncle Francis knows that this vision was from God and he's thankful to be alive today. He had a good recovery from his operation and has a greater awareness of Heaven in his spiritual walk! Praise God!

"And it shall come to pass afterward

that I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh;

Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,

Your old men shall dream dreams,

Your young men shall see visions..."
