Started the 40 day fast early on 3rd January. Will still fast through to 13th Feb. The fast has been fairly easy and I look forward to having good times with the Lord. On January 3rd, preached the New Year message in Sydney and will share it again in Singapore this Saturday. On 4th January, has my first fast smoothie to keep up the energy. Look forward to the whole of the forty day fast.
The earth is in turmoil as seen in the recent volcanic activities and earthquakes. Indeed, the dream vision of the sinking islands point to a tumultuous year 2010. This is the calm before the storm. A lot of energy is in the air like a tinderbox waiting for the spark. For the believer, it will be a year of visions and endings and beginnings as the changing of the guard gets completed (the old guard giving way to the new guard). In this life, there is no real ending only the new beginning at every ending. The final ending is with Christ’s second coming. Thus we will see the end of some things and the beginning of new things like the changing of the seasons. Some things will end this year (2010) and in its place new things will take root. There may be a period of chaos during the transition but it is all under control by God who permits and foresaw this changes. In a time of change, the most important thing is to stay rooted to fundamentals – word, prayer, worship, etc. For those who have been faithful and waiting on the Lord, this season of change will be the launch of new things. I purposely use the word ‘launch’ rather than new beginnings as there is a preparation and prior beginning before launch – there is a framework already in place before a launch can take place. For those who have already prepared their boat and framework, this year will be the launch of that boat or ship. It is the season to launch into things that have been in the back burner being tested and established but now ready for the limelight.
As we look forward to this new year, we continue to pray and fast for all our loved ones, friends and partners in the ministry, students and members of God’s church that God would cause this year to be a mighty fruit bearing year. The tree has been planted, it is now ready for the firstfruits. Papa God, we pray and lift up all our loved ones, friends and partners of the ministry, students and members of Your church that they be rooted and grounded in the love of God (Ephesians 3) and that they all may bear fruit in this year of great changes. Stabilize all of them in Your embrace of love and cause the power of Your Spirit and Your works predestined from before the foundation of the earth to be manife
Dear Pastor,
It is quite interesting to see what you see, I mean, you seem to see lots of things while I see none:), but I’m glad you do so I can prepare. Not all your visions are easy to swallow, but I’ve learned to test all visions inside of me, where the Holy Ghost can give me witness of what is being said, I learned that from my former spiritual father.
You seem to say that you see a storm coming, just like you see clouds gather up in the sky. You see a thick atmosphere and that does sound a little scary for me, but what you say about the Father being in complete control and allowing these things to happen makes me feel a little more at peace.
But I keep wondering why you are, to my knowledge, the only one that makes a clear message about 2010 being so chaotic, where all others that I’ve heard speak vaguely about it. Why?, where others just give ill-faded hints, you speak boldly about future events like the 3-year famine that will expire December 2010, but others keep silent or just say something to vague to understand, as if shooting in the dark.
One thing’s for sure, and anybody can understand this, if all that you say that will happen actually happens, your ministry will skyrocket and people will flock in thousands to your ministry for answers, specially people from the U.S. who, in my view, seem to be the “island” you talk about sinking. It’s kinda scary cause Mexico, my country is right beneath the U.S. Wow!, scary but seeing the news about the careless goverment speding and the skyrocketing deficit only spell one thing: collapse. But like you also say, no storm lasts for ever.
I pray that my president has the wisdom to face this collapse. I may be wrong, but now that I’m sharing this with you, my spirit seems to tell me that the closer one is to the epicenter of an earthquake/tsunami, the worse the damage is. I suppose it is similar to throwing a BIG baloon (filled with water) into a swimming pool, the closer one is to the splash, the harder it will impact you, the father, the less the impact.
You also say that 2010 is the year to “launch” new projects, well, it is quite scary/odd to see that this year has seen the launching of my new catalog and service in my photography business. I’ve changed it all, practically broke the old mold and built a brand new one, I re-invented myself. Then I heard you talk about this being the year of launching and that really shocked me. I can’t say that people have really taken notice of my business, but when the good Lord promotes my business, I’ll be ready. I have no idea how I will have success during this “sinking island” period, but I will do what I can, the rest is up to my Lord.
I really don’t know how to place myself for this formidagle thing, I’m too blind to see, but I know the Lord can do much through prayer in tongues, amen.
