Hi all,
The reason why I have not updated my blog is that blogger.com tells me that I have exceeded my photo upload quota.
I might move my blog to another site. Will let you know if I do. Thank you all for reading.
Cheers,

Thirdly, live daily in His GRACE. Because of what Jesus has done for us on the cross, God no longer judge us by our ability to keep His laws. Many Christians do not realise that they are already set free from the bondage of the law and they continue to live under it. They will soon give up because they could not measure up to the standards required of them. They get spiritually burnt-out and wearied by the constant demands of the misguided Christian conscience. God’s grace sets us free from the demands of the law. We are set free from religion of legalism into a love relationship with God.

"The law of Moses was unable to save us because of the weakness of our sinful nature. So God did what the law could not do. He sent His own Son in a body like the bodies we sinners have. And in that body God declared an end to sin's control over us by giving His Son as a sacrifice for our sins. He did this so that the just requirement of the law would be fully satisfied for us." (Rom 8:3-4)

7 PROVEN KEYS FOR A POWERFUL LIFE- 2

Secondly, ask for the EMPOWERMENT OF THE HOLY SPIRIT for every endeavour whether in business or in relationships. Challenges in life and businesses are often impossible to handle by human wisdom and God’s supernatural power is absolutely necessary in many situations. How do you fight against relationship problems, depression and mental torment, sicknesses, terminal illnesses, contagious diseases or marital issues? Many of these cannot be resolved through natural ways but through the supernatural power of God. We must daily acknowledge and be reliant on the power of the Holy Spirit in our lives. He lives in us and will empower us for life if we rely on Him.

".....how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with Him." (Act 10:38)

7 PROVEN KEYS FOR A POWERFUL LIFE

Dear Church,
I want to share with you seven (7) keys to a powerful and fruitful Christian life that have worked for me:

Firstly, believe that GOD IS THE ARCHITECT OF YOUR LIFE and He has a wonderful plan or blueprint for a good future for you. God has all the resources (finance and manpower) that are required to bring that about, so our part is to daily turn our eyes to Him. Wait daily for His supply and the outpouring of His resources.

"For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope" (Jeremiah 29:11)

"But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus." (Philippians 4:19)

"Listen to my voice in the morning, Lord. Each morning I bring my requests to You and wait expectantly." (Psalm 5:3)

Our 'perfect' pastor, Pastor Yee Onn of our Chinese church- good father, loving shepherd and handsome husband

The Perfect Pastor (Male and/or female).

• The perfect pastor preaches exactly 10 minutes.
• He condemns sin roundly but never hurts anyone’s feelings.
• He works from 8 AM until midnight and is also the church janitor.
• The perfect pastor makes $40 a week, wears good clothes, drives a good car, buys good books, and donates $30 a week to the church.
• He is 29 years old and has 40 years experience.
• Above all, he/she is handsome/pretty.
• The perfect pastor has a burning desire to work with teenagers, and he spends most of his time with the senior citizens.
• He smiles all the time with a straight face because he has a sense of humor that keeps him seriously dedicated to his church.
• He makes 15 home visits a day and is always in his office to be handy when needed.
• The perfect pastor always has time for church council and all of its committees. He never misses the meeting of any church organization and is always busy evangelizing the unchurched.
• The perfect pastor is always in the next church over! If your pastor does not measure up, simply send this notice to six other churches that are tired of their pastor, too. Then bundle up your pastor and send him to the church at the top of the list. If everyone cooperates, in one week you will receive 1,643 pastors. One of them should be perfect. Have faith in this letter. One church broke the chain and got its old pastor back in less than three months. ~by Father McGinn~
  

This is Francis, one of our faithful, loyal, willing leaders our church are so blessed to have.

WE ARE A POWERHOUSE

Dear Church,

I am sharing some prophecies that are flowing out of the dawn prayer gatherings so that those who are unable to make it will be able to partake of

the blessings as well. We have just passed the half-way mark of this 40-Day Fasting and Prayer and we are really enjoying a wonderful outpouring of anointed and spirit-led prayer for ourselves, the church and the nation.

One recurring prophetic theme that seems to flow out of the Dawn Prayer gatherings is ‘Power’.

Just a couple of mornings ago, on the way to the dawn prayer, while driving along Section 14/61, Sis Vivienne saw what look

ed like three thick power cable pylons from the sky coming down the perimeter of our church. It appeared to her suddenly and in a blink of an eye, the vision was gone. She was dazed by what she saw and the word she felt as a result of the vision is ‘Power’. This confirmed the Lord's declaration to us that No: 8, Jalan 227 is a ‘Powerhouse’.

Folks, God visits the church that prays. Jim Cymbala of the world renowned Brooklyn Tabernacle said, "The history of the Church in the book of Acts proves that the secret of dynamic power, glorious witness and the very direction of important church affairs all came from God responding to a people who prayed and waited in His Presence."

He further said that our Christian journey to maturity ought to lead us to new depths of prayer and heart revelations of the Lord.

The Lord is hearing all our cries and prayers in the mornings. One sister saw a vision of antennae from Heaven facing downwards ‘receiving’ all the prayers being sent upwards. The prayer bowls in the hands of angels are being filled and they are being tipped over to powerful and miraculous answers to our prayers.

As one brother prayed, the Lord showed him a vivid vision of God seated on His throne like a judge, dressed in white and His right hand was holding a sceptre. Both His eyes are gold in color.

Folks, every injustice in the land is seen by our Lord and He is ruling over our nation and His justice will be established. Our prayers are truly bringing about a powerful impact of the heavenly kingdom upon Malaysia.

Sister Shela wrote, "As I was praying the Spirit of God revealed to me to enter into the fullness of his grace and mercy, fullness of his healing, fullness of spirit". The word fullness keeps coming back and I would like to encourage everyone to enter into the fullness of glory, into the fullness of all that he has in store for us to be the

"Power House for God."

On Wednesday morning, Bro. Gary Goh shared a simple illustration of how his daughter often kisses his cheeks and forehead with love and this is the ministry that we are offering to our Lord daily. Many are enjoying the tangible presence of God and the leadership of the Holy Spirit. The Father looks upon us with great delight and pleasure when He sees His children gathering to seek His face the first thing in the morning.

Church, Grace and I have been praying daily for your protection against the H1N1. The Lord bless you and surround you with His shield of favour and protection. Daily claim this privilege as His children against all forms of sicknesses and diseases. Your prayers are powerful in the Name of Jesus. Walk in boldness and not in fear. Knowing that God loves us unconditionally will cast out any form of fear from your lives.

Love,

Pastor Ron Hee

The Holy Spirit speaks to us through dreams and visions and here is a dream from one of the level headed- feet on the ground- sister in Christ:

About 2 weeks ago, early morning of Sunday. I had a dream. This dream is the ever first time I saw Grace and Ps Ron in it. The dream begins ...

"I was in a moving vehicle when suddenly I saw Grace and Ps Ron was in another bus(seem like converted from a lorry). Grace was the driver and Ps Ron was the navigator and the bus was packed with people. Ps Ron was busy talking and ushering those passengers to take their seat as the bus will depart shortly and Grace was cheerfully being the driver. I was shocked and quite amazed Grace can drive a bus!! Super!!

The bus pull alongside my vehicle and both the vehicle was driving to same direction.
Then suddenly I was having a helicopter viewing from the sky, I was sitting in a real helicopter. I saw huge crowds was usher by people to sit in groups in an open area like big field. The crowds was so huge until countless. Their skin colour seem dark. Then the dream ended and I woke up."

Hedy Koh, one of our faithful prayer warriors

One of the focus of our dawn prayer has been against the H1N1 pandemic especially in our nation of Malaysia. Here is a vision from one of the sisters:

"As we were praying on Monday morning, I saw a figure dressed like in a robe and it was holding a large sickle. It has no face and all I can see is it is black. It looked like the angel of death. Just as it was about to swing the sickle I saw doves, white doves in fact attacking this figure.so that this figure was unable to use the sickle. As the prayer became intense, more doves came at the figure making it go backwards until it was lifted up by their left and right arm up towards the sky by the doves. Then I saw a whole picture like looking from afar where there were more of the same figures being lifted up on both left and right arm by many white doves up to the sky The whole sky was filled with these images." I heard the following words that said Jesus has done it all . Continue to trust in me"

RM18,000 raised from charity event handed to association

LONPAC Insurance, one of the country’s leading general insurance companies, initiated a charity golf tournament held at the Kelab Golf Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah in Shah Alam to raise funds for Sri Eden Selangor and Kuala Lumpur Welfare Association recently.

About 120 participants, comprising Lonpac Insurance management team, business partners, clients, agents and motor policyholders, took to the greens.

Sri Eden is a non-government organisation catering to the needs of children with learning difficulties such as autism, Down Syndrome, mental retardation and cerebral palsy.

About RM18,000 was raised from the championship.

An additional RM3,000 was also raised through cash donations from the participants. Lonpac Insurance adviser Tee Choon Yeow handed over the donation to Sri Eden president Ron Hee.

The donation to Sri Eden will be used for their critical individualised education plans for the children.

This individualised education plan is set up due to the varying conditions of the children which include trained teachers, specialised equipment and teaching aid.

CONFIDENT, FEARLESS AND FULL OF HOPE

THE BELIEVER'S BLUEPRINT FOR CONFIDENT LIVING
(Exposition from Psalm 27)

The normal Christian life should be CONFIDENT,

Psa 27:3 Though an army besiege me, my heart will not fear; though war break out against me, even then will I be confident.

Psa 27:13 I am still confident of this: I will see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living.

FEARLESS,

Psa 27:1 Of David. The LORD is my light and my salvation— whom shall I fear? The LORD is the stronghold of my life— of whom shall I be afraid?

Psa 27:3 Though an army besiege me, my heart will not fear

and FULL OF HOPE

Psa 27:13 I am still confident of this: I will see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living.

Josephine and Magnus's beautiful daughter, Rebecca

"Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices; my body also will rest secure because you will not abandon me to the grave" Ps 16:9

Our bodies must rest secure if we want to be healthy. Ask God to deliver us from anything that cause restlessness in us which can be due to fear, anxiety, worry, stress etc. Let us enter into the perfect love and unconditional acceptance of the Lord which will bring about a deep sense of security in us. Let us be glad and rejoice daily in the Lord for wholeness to our bodies, souls and spirits.

The number of deaths in Malaysia due to Influenza A(H1N1) rose to 38 today with 270 new cases reported in one day, bringing the total to 2253. This is causing much anxiety and fear in many folks as this pandemic sweeps the nation without respect for the rich or the famous. The newspaper reported that the consort of the Regent of Pahang and her five children have also contracted H1N1 as well as the Costa Rican President Oscar Arias. As deep darkness cover the nation, Christians must shine. Christians must not walk in fear but in trust. Trust in the perfect love of God. Trust in the Name of the Lord Jesus who is our refuge and our fortress. We dwell under the safe shelter of His wings.

Grace and Len on their 27th Anniversary. Their marriage is a great testimony of restoration and healing grace.

On Wholeheartedness

Luciano Pavarotti, opera great, said, “When I was a boy, my father, a baker, introduced me to the wonders of song. He urged me to work very hard to develop my voice. Arrigo Pola, a professional tenor in my hometown of Modena, Italy, took me as a pupil. I also enrolled in a teachers college. On graduating, I asked my father, "Shall I be a teacher or a singer?" "Luciano," my father replied, "if you try to sit on two chairs, you will fall between them. For life, you must choose one chair." “I chose one. It took seven years of study and frustration before I made my first professional appearance. It took another seven to reach the Metropolitan Opera. And now I think whether it’s laying bricks, writing a book--whatever we choose--we should give ourselves to it.”

A Christian can live in any country just as one of its citizens or he/she can live as an ambassador of God's kingdom. Just as an ambassador has the backing and authority of the nation that he represents, the Christian has the authority from the King of kings and the Lord of lords. I encouraged New Life leaders to fully embrace their divine calling as this would release the total supply of all that he needs for the task he is assigned just as an ambassador will be supplied by the government that he represents.

FAITHFUL TO OUR CALLING UNTIL THE VERY END

Watched a rerun of the movie Titanic with my family. My favorite scene was the 4-piece string band playing beautiful, soothing music on the deck while others were frantically scrambling for their lives. When the end was imminent, the leader of the band thanked the group and told them how it was an honor to have played together with them. As his group members walked away to join the rest of the passengers to look for a lifeboat, the leader of the band remained and started playing on his own. Hearing that, the three members turned back and joined their leader and they played on. What a depiction of devotion, faithfulness and dedication to the task and fierce loyalty to one another!!.

I was glad to read that this scene was real and not made up just for the movie. Harold Bride, the Titanic junior wireless operator who survived gave eyewitness account in his interview with the New York Times, "The way the band kept playing was a noble thing. I heard it first while we were still working the wireless, when there was a ragtime tune for us, and the last I saw of the band, when I was floating out in the sea with my lifebelt on, it was still on the deck playing 'Autumn'. How they ever did it, I can't imagine"

From Pastor Lily Chin[above] (One of our pastors/intercessor/my prayer partner) who looks after the Myanmar Ministry-

On 24th June i had a vision of Jesus and myself in a garden. There was a small tree which began to grow big and as it grew, the Lord put me on His shoulder so that i can touch the heights of the tree. I saw a good fruit and i wanted to pluck it but the Lord cautioned me "No human tampering." So i let go of my hand in obedience and know what, that tree became a masterpiece! I guess the Lord is still working on this. On the days that followed, other prophetic words came "I will set the pace for you and will expand My truths within you."
Today during staff devotion the Lord reminded me that as we stay consecrated to Him, He will open the Red Sea and we can pass thru. He will work wonders in our midst. Pr. Ron also shared that in the life of Abraham who tried to run ahead of God and ended up in a mess because he tried to depend on his human effort. Sometimes God in His mercy and wisdom wants us to bring our vision before Him and allow it to "die" before He can do a complete and thorough work in us. There is a compelling demonstration of the work of the Holy Spirit to do that in us as we consecrate ourselves to Him. After all He is the Potter and we the clay. Amen

Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as though you were working for the Lord and not for people" (Colossians 3:23 TEV).

How do I know if I'm doing my work for the Lord?

Two characteristics will show up in your attitude: excellence and enthusiasm.

First, if I'm doing my work, not for the boss but for the Lord, I'll do it with excellence. That means I give it my best shot—I do the best I can because I'm not doing it for anyone's approval, except God's. I do it with excellence, being the best I can be.

Second, I do my work with enthusiasm. I'm working for God, therefore, I do it with a cheerful attitude. "Never be lazy, but work hard and serve the Lord enthusiastically" (Romans 12:11 NLT).When you are working with all your heart, motivated by the love of Christ, your work is transformed into an act of worship for God.

-Rick Warren

Smile the moment you wake up in the morning

because of all the opportunities and blessings

your Heavenly Father has waiting for you.

He crowns your days with His goodness

and your paths with plenty.

Your smiles reflect your faith in a God

who will take care of you in every situation.

PREPARE FOR ENLARGEMENT
"This church got life, she’s got enthusiasm….I like coming here" - Kindah Greening, CEO of King’s Organisation, Gold Coast, Australia.

A few weeks ago, Pastor Kindah Greening came to preach to us and he prophesied upon the church at the beginning of his sermon and to Grace and I at the conclusion. Please read these prophetic words carefully, embrace them prayerfully and receive them by faith.
Love,
Pastor Ron Hee

To the Church:
There is a flow; there is a dynamic; there is a presence; there is a power here…and I want to tell you this, that…the waters of God and the waters of His anointing are going to go deeper and wider…and the spirit of the Lord shall touch your minds and shall touch your spirits…and these are days of preparation. For I will lay upon the foundation and I will build the house greater and you shall know what it is for the spirit of the Lord to touch you. But you said, "I’ve been touched". But I declare to you that I shall come again and I shall touch thine eyes and you shall see a new perspective…for the spirit of the Lord shall touch this house and He shall impregnate a spirit of growth and a spirit of enlargement and there shall be an enlargement of your hearts; an enlargement of the purposes and the will, and the anointing and the presence of my spirit, saith the Lord. Hallelujah!!"

To Pastor Ron and Grace:
For a new door of opportunity shall be opened before your eyes. Too long, too long, too long…the place where you dwelt - too long. It's not a physical expression but a spiritual expression. Its time to breakthrough. Time to ENLAAARRRGE your tents! Stretch forth! Father, in the name of Jesus, bless, bless, bless. The horn of the oil! Even as of old, Samuel took a horn and he poured it upon the servant David and I declare unto you that even as David knew a level and a degree of expansion of anointing that I should take the horn of oil of my ability, my presence, my anointing and I shall express it through your thoughts, hearts and minds and you shall grow with great authority, greater anointing and you shall rise as a commander of the Lord’s house.
You shall inspire the minds, the spirits and the hearts of my people to rise to greater heights. For it’s being said through your lips, that "The Best is yet to come"- that good things are going to happen. And the spirit of the Lord shall cause your words and experience to correspond and you shall bring growth and enlargement and expansion to the house.
The horn of His presence, the oil shall touch your eyes, to bless, to protect, to shepherd, to encourage His people. You shall protect them from the wild beasts of field. The touch of His presence is over your lives because of the hunger, because of the thirst, of the great shepherd concern. Not like a Saul but like a David that shall protect the people, from the heat of the sun, protect them from the elements, place a wall of protection around their lives. This is the day I shall touch and expand you.

As we approach Father's Day, let us remind ourselves that we are children of our Father in Heaven. See His face of compassion towards you. See His arms outstretched towards you. See his eager eyes looking out for you. See the gifts waiting for you as you feel safe and secure in His arms that are wrapped around you (Luke 15)

One of my dreams is to have a piece of land where we can care for children with learning disabilities (autistic, adhd, dyslexia ec), the orphans and the elderly etc. The land should be nicely landscaped and green and the atmosphere should be warnth and caring because these special ones are God's creation and they should be properly cared for. For a start, New Life has a centre in Cheras, Sri Eden, which is a centre for Children with learning disabilities. We are thankful to the Lord that we have some very dedicated and passionate qualified teachers who are serving these children with much love and personal attention. I paid a visit to the centre the other day and took some pictures of these children in their classrooms. If you are interested to contribute your time or finance to help us at this centre, please contact me at 03-78763133.

PARENTS' APPRECIATION LUNCHEON

We combined the Mothers' and Fathers' Day celebrations and organised a Parents' Appreciation Luncheon at the Oriental Restaurant in Jaya 33, to provide our church folks an opportunity to honor their parents' the traditional way- tea ceremony! Many heart-felt and appreciative words were written and spoken to the parents. It was so good to see the parents and the children connecting. Grace and I were especially touched by our son, Nicholas, who was in tears as he read his appreciation to us. That in itself was priceless.

I shared a short message on how the Bible commanded Christians to honor their parents and obedience to this command comes with the promise of long life and prosperity in the land (Ex 20:12; Deu 5:16). Non-Christian parents need not be concerned that their children will not be filial to them when they become Christians. I also told them that embracing Christianity is not embracing a foreign religion as the Chinese civilization is so much older than the West and many Chinese characters contain Biblical imagery. This tells us that the Chinese knew about the Christian God even before the West.

I've never seen a generous person who wasn't happy.
God simply loves to shower blessings on the generous.
Be generous to someone today.

Grace and I celebrated our 25th Anniversary recently at the beautiful Pangkor Laut Resort. The great service, gourmet food and the spa and massage made us feel truly pampered. This holiday was like another honeymoon for us (hee...hee..), but certainly much better this time in so many ways because our love for each other has grown deeper and richer because we faced so many challenges together through these 25 years that have made us appreciate and grateful for each other. Grace is truly my lucky star. Without her love, encouragement and belief, I would not have done or become who I am today. I am so thankful for her. With wonderful children like Sarah and Nicholas and with such a great church family, I could not have asked for more. I just want to thank God for everything.
