Vision of a Breaking Net

During our morning prayer time, Ps Lily saw a vision of a net at breaking point. This net was full of babies (souls) and she felt that the Lord asking us if there are enough hands to catch these ones when they fall through the net. If not, the babies will fall back into the savage sea.

Sis May Loke saw a similar vision and she travailed tearfully in the spirit for these souls. We prayed to the Lord to touch New Life folks as they watch the video series by Reinhard Bonnke that more will commit themselves to evangelism and caring for the new ones that will come to the Lord in the coming days.

Help us Lord, to equip our folks to be care-givers to new Christians!!

Give us a compassion for souls!!

Faith is being sure of what we hope for.

Hope does not disappoint.

If you are disappointed about something, turn it around.

Start with a simple hope.

Bring that hope to Jesus.

Faith will come and you will receive.

Staff Devotion

Had a good time of devotion with the staff. Seah led us in an unfamiliar song on warfare and

there was a strong anointing to pray warfare prayers....that

'with God on our side, we are not warriors on the retreat but warriors on the advance...'

'we must arise and take the trophies that God has taken back from the devil on the cross...'

'those victories must be claimed by God's people....who put on the warrior's anointing...'

'we are 'more than conquerors... not just conquerors...but more than conquerors...'

'Jesus is the gatekeeper... and the doors are opened to us...'

'step in the house of God where there is abundance, healing, joy and peace....'

'live where God lives.... in heaven.... we can live in God's kingdom right now...don't have to wait until we die and go to heaven....'

'step into God's open doors by faith... only believe...'

'live in the 4th dimension which is where our spirit will thrive....'

A sister who visited us from China shared her gratefullness to the Lord for bringing her to New Life where she learned about love and unity.

THERE'S GONNA BE A REVIVAL

Dear Church,
Not only is God blessing the folks in New Life financially, He wants to rejuvenate and strengthen our inner man if we believe the prophetic visions and words that have been released by the Holy Spirit recently.

I was able to sense this new move of the spirit during one of the Sunday mornings as I went to the welcome centre to pray before the service. There were the usual number of folks praying and the ‘noise’ level was similar to other Sundays but spiritually, the decibel level was such as I have never felt in my spirit before. It felt as if there were rumblings in the heavenlies and at that moment, I heard in my spirit, the waves of revival being ushered in.

At the same time, my wife signalled me to their small group and asked me to listen to a vision that one of the sisters was just shown. In that vision, she saw a waterfall over the church and the water (Holy Spirit) was falling on us and filling up every valley. As the valleys were filled, plants (life) began to spring forth.

(Mmm…maybe, the sound that I heard was the sound of the waterfall??).

Folks, the valleys are low lying lands that represent lives that are spiritually low, dry and lifeless. As the Holy Spirit rains upon us, our inner man will come alive. Let this be our prayer.

Last Sunday, one sister came to me excitedly telling me that she saw a lot of gold dust falling on the church. I peeked at my palms to see if any gold dust had formed there because this phenomenon had happened in places where revival is taking place but alas, I only saw some wrinkly skin. Suffice to say, this vision is a prophetic message that God is pouring out His glory and our church will be revived if we continue to seek Him and be hungry for His presence.

At the altar last Sunday after the conscience stirring message by Pastor Hock, a brother told us how he was so deeply touched by the Lord that he wept profusely. The word of the Lord through him was that more miracles are coming and we as a church must do more and that we should not do just enough to satisfy our conscience.

Folks, are we prepared for the rain? An evangelist from India, Emmanuel Raj who passed through here last week said if we want a 100 fold from the Lord, we must sow in 1. Watch (prayer and seeking God’s face) 2. Word (Read God’s word) 3. Wealth (Tithes and offering) and 4. Work (Serve God).

Pr Raymond woke up on Wednesday morning with a dream from the Lord. In the dream, he saw the church, filled with many people and bustling with much joy and excitement. He woke up sensing that something was about to burst forth in New Life and God was able to do something exciting in the church. Let press on for more of His glory!!!

Love,
Pastor Ron Hee

"You have a wonderful life because the One who lives in you is called

WONDERFUL.

Confess this truth always and your path will be showered with gifts and signs of wonderment.

You are loved"

F4L#7

God's nature is in you.

The fullness of God lives in you.

Believe that and this divine and eternal nature will dominate all of life.

God's power, His mightiness, His abundance, His generosity, His love and His glory will dominate over weakness, lack, fear and death.

BRAVE!!? umm....ME?

We had an Italian-Irish couple from London minister at the full-time pastors and staff devotion yesterday morning. Giancarlo and Catherine then prayed for each one of us with a gentle but powerful anointing of the Father's love. He spoke many prophetic words over us but for me but I could only recall that he said...uhh... I am a brave because I do not fear man. He exhorted me to be strong and courageous. I also remembered him prophesying about having the spirit of David. I could sense God's tangible anointing flowing very gently but powerfully from Giancarlo. As I lie on the floor, Catherine told me later, that she saw a very huge angel with its wings over me. Wow!! I always wondered where my angels were and how they looked like.

Raymond, Patrick and I took them out for lunch and since we discovered that they loved durians, we took them to a stall in SS2 and it was so pleasurable to see them enjoying the fruit. I have invited them back again to do a seminar on the 'Father heart of God' and he said that he will try to see if he could get John Arnott from Toronto Blessing for next year. It was a great joy to know this wonderful couple. You sometimes wondered how you can connect so well with certain people through just a chance meeting.

Supervisors' Retreat At Peacehaven

We just returned from an overnight retreat with the Supervisors. Inspite of my high standards, I must say it was a great time of bonding, fellowship, play (badminton and table tennis) and 'light-work'- great ingredients for a wonderful camp. I exhorted the team to make efforts to serve together as friends. I am a strong believer in the Spirit of God being free to move when we do not just engage our minds but we are relaxed enough with one another so that our hearts are being engaged with one another. I have experienced creative ideas being birthed forth because we do our reflection or discussion in the pool or a place where stress is reduced.

Despite the success of seeing New Life group of churches flourished, one regret of the twenty something odd years that JY, LC and I have served together is that we have not grown in our friendships. My family and Lawrence's used to go on holidays together but for some unknown reason, we have drifted apart and our relationship, although still strong, is now based mainly on our work in the church. The three of us have a wonderful working relationship with great mutual respect for one another but we have failed in the aspect of friendship. At the last R n R with the two of them, I suggested that we prioritize this aspect in our future goals. I hope it will birth forth a new generation of pastors who are friends.

F4L#2- YOUR RED SEA

Is your face pressed to the wall today?

Do you face a roadblock and do not know which way to turn?

The Lord God declares. "I will part your Red Sea".

The Red Sea represents any dead end or impossibility in life that stops you from achieving the best

that God has for you.

God wants the best for you.

Speak like God spoke this week,

"I will part your Red Sea".

Light is not afraid of darkness. The truth is darkness is dispelled by light. You are God's light (Matt 5:14) and wherever you go in Jesus' Name, darkness flees and you triumph over evil. You are an ambassador of God's kingdom to this world.

So arise!

Shine! for God.

GOD OF A BETTER TOMORROW

God is committed to bring us into a better future. One of the most quoted verses in Jer 29:11 tells us that in God is planning for us a better future that is blessed and full of hopes.

Ask Abraham- From barreness to having descendants like the stars in the sky and sand in the seashore;

Ask Joseph- From a slave to a Prime Minister

Ask the Israelites who were in bondage in Egypt- From slavery to a land that is flowing with milk and honey

Ask David- From a rejected shepherd boy to a Giant slayer to being the greatest King of Israel

Ask Paul- From a persecutor, full of hate to an apostle, full of love

Ask Mary Magdalene- From a prostitute to being a follower of Jesus

Ask Peter- From a fisherman to a fisher of man (3000 at his first sermon)

Ask Me

OUR DNA OF SUCCESS

At the Ampang Church today, I preached a message on our 'DNA of Success'. When God created Adam and Eve, He commanded them to be 'fruitful and multiply, subdue the earth and rule over the other creations'. God knew what Adam and Eve are capable of because He is the One who has placed with them the DNA or the capacity to do what they have been commanded to do. Friends, God has placed within us a DNA that destined us for success, for fruitfulness, or impact and for headship. Just as a pen is made to write, we are made for success. We need only to walk in this wonderful calling that God has placed within each of us.

WE ARE THE 'TEN TIMES' PEOPLE

The God who blessed Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael and Azariah with wisdom and understanding 10 times better than all the 'wise' men (magicians and astrologers)

is OUR God.

God is no respecter of persons and will give this same blessings to those who believe Him. Faith is the substance. This ten times realm can be yours if you believe. Begin today to believe and walk in the realm of the '10 times'-

.

IN FAVOUR,

.

IN GRACE,

.

IN SUCCESS,

.

IN STATURE,

.

IN HEALTH,

.

IN PROSPERITY,

IN LOVE,

IN HOPE,

THE GOODNESS OF GOD.

A NEW MALAYSIA?

Folks, the results of the General Election last week was still quite unbelievable to many people. For me, I felt that God was sending a prophetic message to us who have been praying but not believing. We have fasted and we have prayed for 40 days every year for the nation and yet we have not believed the world that God can give birth to a nation in one day.

Isa 66:8 Who hath heard such a thing? who hath seen such things? Shall the earth be made to bring forth in one day? or shall a nation be born at once? for as soon as Zion travailed, she brought forth her children.

I am not aligned to either Barisan nor the Opposition but the cry in my heart was for our nation to be freed from racism, corruption and injustice. Looking at how things have remained unchanged for the last 50 years, I must confessed that I have lost hope and stood in the group of the 'ye of little faith'.

The election results was a rebuke for my unbelief, not so much because the Opposition has won but on believing that our national problems are too big for God and for not believing that God could do the impossible. God showed us that He is still in the business of parting the Red Sea.

Folks, I have been reminding the church that come on Wednesdays that we have been given the mandate to govern the nation through prayer and to be a prophetic voice to our nation. We are to be a house of prayer for the nations. Through prayer, we are called to possess the gates of the nations. Last Tuesday at the staff prayer gathering, Sis May felt that the Lord will raise up the church to possess the gates of media, education and business.

The Opposition has won 5 states and it remained to be seen if they can deliver on their promises. However let us not fall into the same trap of unbelief, that whether it is the Opposition or the Barisan who is in charge, it is our miracle-working God who is in control of the destiny of Malaysia.

Let's believe again….

This from Grace, my wife:

The new day has dawned ....
There is a dawning of a new day in the spiritual atmosphere of the land of Malaysia. The racial and religious walls put up by the politics of the past 50 years are coming down. The Malays are smiling with the Chinese, the Chinese are smiling with the Indians and so on. Suspicions are being stripped down. Malaysians has come of age. Malaysians have matured. The new generation of Malaysians want a new world order in Malaysia. This order calls for treating all Malaysians regardless of age, religion and race as one nationality - Giving everyone an opportunity to make an honest decent living without fear or favor. It calls for all the poor and needy to be helped regardless of race or religions. It calls for respect of each other as a unique culture. As we embrace our multicultural strength, Malaysia will hence forth rise to heights of greatness.

Political parties who have been given the mandates, don't disappoint Malaysia. We've given you a huge mandate to correct injustices and oppressions in our land. The impossible has become possible. Be a good steward of what you have been entrusted. Get rid of unrighteous policies, laws, practices and favoritism politics. Bring in the rule of law, plain old honesty, integrity and transparency.

Malaysians are believing again. They are believing that goodness exists - the democratic system we have in this land actually works. The glass celing above us has been cracked open. I believe from this day onwards, we will hear a new sound in Malaysia. Malaysia Boleh is no longer just a mantra, it is an actuality. We will no longer enter games finals only to buckle and lose under pressure because of the "glass ceiling". We will win because the land has seen what was deemed impossible become possible. We want a united land - a free land to live and build a legacy - for our families and for our beloved Malaysia.

The new day has dawned ....

English-Chinese Prayer Service

The combined prayer service with the Chinese speaking congregation last night was rather exciting and fresh. Prayer service should be done 'worship intercession' style like how we did last night. This was the second time that the two churches have come together to pray and I could see that members of both congregations came with a sense of expectancy and excitement. Maybe we should pray about having it on a weekly basis. There was a wonderful sense of unity and the worship team was able to lead songs that are bi-lingual so either congregation was able to enter into the praise and worship without much difficulty. In a vision, Grace saw the Lord giving us all new garments to dance and the Spirit coming to us like a dove. We went into a time of thanksgiving and I represented the church pastors in thanking God for every church member and one of the sisters responded by thanking the Lord for the pastors. I could sense a real sweet presence of the Lord and I felt it was from the spirit of unity in our midst. Yee Onn and I prayed for one another and the night ended with me blessing the two congregations. It was a blessed night.

Thank you Lord.

GOD IS GOING TO BREAK OUR HEARTS TO REVIVE US

This prophetic word is from a sister who heard a series of prophetic messages for New Life Churches as she prayed in one of the grottos on the prayer mountain in Seoul, Korea. The word for the church in Petaling Jaya is:"The Lord is going to break many hearts. Unless their hearts are broken and open to the Lord, the Lord cannot come in to rule. He wants to rule in the hearts. Otherwise you can't see revival. God will break their hearts. The breaking is coming. You shall experience pains, if not, there is no change, no revival. Breaking ... breaking ... breaking."

Psa 34:18 The LORD is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit.

Psa 51:17 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise

GOD HEALED CONTRACTOR'S DAUGHTER OF ASTHMA

A few weeks back, contractor G who is a non-believer visited the church and told me excitedly that since I prayed for his daughter a few months ago, her daughter no longer suffer from any more asthma attacks. He was so thankful and testified to another of our pastors again of God's power.
What was more incredible was that this prayer request for his daughter came from another non-Christian. A few months back, one of church members, Datuk B came looking for me. Apparently he was just talking to the building contractor who told him that his daughter has been suffering from asthmatic attacks very frequently. Datuk wanted me to pray for this man's daughter because he was so certain that God will heal the daughter. I was not sure if the contractor even believed in divine healing but I prayed anyway and praise God, God's touched his daughter and contractor G is now a witness of His power.
The Bible did said, 'To anyone who believe" didn't it? Healing is available to all who believed, isn't it? I think it was Datuk B's faith that released the healing. He believed in the Lord's power to heal.

DRAMA AT THE WEDDING

Jo's wedding at the Selangor Yacht Club was unique and beautiful. It was however a hot day. The groom and I were in suits and ties and before long, my body was dripping sweat inside and outside. To make matters worst, the organizers close the side doors because of the candle lighting ceremony to prevent the wind from extinguishing the fire. Sweat was dripping down the sides of my face and from my forehead into my eyes and the salt from the sweat stung. My right hand was holding the marriage folder and my left, the microphone so I could not reach in to get my handkerchief. In between 'to have and to hold, in sickness and in health', I wondered if I could stop for a few seconds to wipe the sweat off my eyes? I tried desperately to sound calm when it was all storm within. I was glad when I finally finished the ceremony but apparently no one knew what I was going through as the glare from the glass windows behind me has blinded their eyes to all the drama the minister was going through.
My wedding drama did not end there. Because of the heat, most of us who wore suits took off our coats and draped them over the chairs. Unbeknownst to me, I had left my coat next to Ps Chin Ban and when the dinner ceremony began, we took each other's coat by mistake. Ban wore my coat throughout the dinner as he MC the night but apparently our bodies must be quite similar in size and shape as he did not feel any difference. I had his coat draped over my seat throughout the dinner until the end when I discovered that the coat is not mine.

DRAMA OF THE WEEK

Last week, I conducting a wedding, visited three different hospitals (Sunway Medical, Assunta and Damansara Specialist)- one in the emergency ward and two in the ICUs and attended two memorial services. Talk about drama; last week was rather full of it. His grace was truly sufficient for me.
Bill Gothard spoke about crying out to the Lord (as different from praying to the Lord) and I did a lot of crying. Crying out is certainly prayer that is 'fervent' and it is effective as I proved it over and over again this week.

ARE YOU HAPPY?

Today I preached a sermon on 'Happiness'. I struggled with the topic because the words feels so flimsy and superficial...not words like 'Anointing' etc that makes me sound more spiritual. Having preached it, I am glad to be able to correct some misconceptions of Christians who often still live life like those who do not know the Lord. People are not happy because we often live for the future and not savor the life that we have now. There is a feeling of disatisfaction because the ads and the TV are often telling us how far short we have fallen from the Hollywood lifestyle that is bombarding our minds daily. The result is that we feel like failures and that makes us feel unhappy.
