Firstly, apologies for those accessing the websites and couldn’t download some files as we are still in the process of moving the hosting of our domains. The present host has insufficient capacity and we are in the process of moving all our websites and domain to a different host (will complete by end of next month or so). In the mean time we apologise for the inconveniences of not having full capacity of audios and videos (especially the videos that have taken much of the bandwidth space). All our volunteer website advisers and managers are working hard behind the scene and we thank God for all the good work done to at least get the sites up and running.
In the meantime, I am looking forward to the all night prayer tonight (9th April). Spending many, many hours in the presence of God together with other believers has always been the highlight of my days. There is no short cut to revival. It is always back to good old fasting and prayer. It is self evident throughout the whole Old Testament and it is self evident in the book of Acts and in Paul’s writings. The keys of fasting and prayer are the keys that unlocked the spiritual dimensions. Sorry, no room for lazy Christians who want everything serve to them on a silver platter. And it has nothing to do with works; it purely has to do with the fact that if you love God, you want to spend more time with Him. And since God is a spirit and not flesh and blood (with the exception of Jesus who is God manifest in the flesh), it should be obvious to all that fasting is a logical conquest of the body submitting to our spirit’s desire and love and pursuit of God. We will broadcast the all night prayer one day as we develop the facilities for it but now, those who like to can join us in the spirit and pray around the same time. Or have tarrying meetings with your own little group of those who love God and want to spend more time with Him. Love and waiting on God are directly related through the verses of Isaiah 64:4 and 1 Corinthians 2:9; where the word ;where the word ‘wait’ in the OT is translated ‘love’ by Paul in his quote of that same verse. And up to this day, indeed, eye has not seen nor ear heard all that God has prepared for those who love Him.
Papa God, as we gather tonight in all night prayer in Sydney, we pray that all our loved ones, partners and friends of the ministry, students and members of the body of Christ would receive the overflow of all our prayers and time spend with You. We love You Father and just want to be with You. In Jesus Name. Amen.
Dear Pastor,
I like these entries you have in your diary, they certainly give us hungry students a peek into your world, inside your thoughts….in some way.
Yourt comments about the spiritual world seem to me like a type of forecast, or a weather-man of some sort. Can’t find anybody else with these type of sensitivity, so I’ll just keep reading you. All other pastors or prophets I know usually are too hauty to talk to us “lesser important” people, and they usually end up scaryng me to death with all those gloomy reports, so gloomy they seem that even my house seems to get dark in some odd way.
The bottom line for me is this, What is the Lord without Love, Joy and Peace? 🙂
