We are almost there in terms of website migration to the new hosting facilities. We thank everyone for their patience as we re-organized to have more abilities to allow more people to access all the teachings. We also want to thank all the web experts and managers who have been helping us along in this process, the Lord bless each of you mightily in His abundant grace.
Time sure flies, as I will be on the plane again in two days back to Singapore for the long trip. The Lord has been good and I hae especially enjoyed the all night prayers in both Sydney (last Friday) and in Singapore (coming up this Friday again). Sometimes, I do wish for the prayer meetings to go on even longer but I will wait until the time comes when we have 24 hours praise and worship, and 24 hours prayer. That would be wonderful. It is good to pray and seek the Lord for hours and hours but it is even more greater to be able to seek His face together with others who are also hungry for God. I hope that many people would make the all night prayers or long ‘tarrying ‘ meetings or meetings that are of the nature of Acts 13:1-3 where we fast and pray just to minister to the Lord. It is challenging in our modern times of fast speed convenience but there is nothing like and old time revival of purely seeking God’s face for days in a row.
Spiritual hunger is a prequisite to many things in spiritual life. Only those who seek will find, those who ask shall receive and those who knock it shall be opened unto them. Blessed indeed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness. Within each one of us is a certain level of hunger for God and for many people it is not because they do not have a hunger or desire for God, but rather that they do not yield to this thirst within them for the reality and presence of God. It is for us to yield to this stirring desires for God, for they are the fires kindled by the Holy Spirit within us. If we do not yield to these little promptings, we cannot expect more things from God. We must yield to these stirrings of the Holy Spirit and then God will give us more manifestations of His love and presence. To those who are faithful in little things, God will give even more. However, like the voice of God that spoke from heaven declaring that He will be glorified (John 12:28-29), not all hear the voice and some of those who hear it siad it thundered while others said that an angel spoke. The same voice but so many ways of hearing it. The Holy Spirit is doing the same stirrings in our heart to seek God and love God but not all are heeding to His soft gentle promptings. We need to obey His promptings that direct us towards God in order for us to see more of the glory of God.
Papa God, we continue to pray that You will give all of our loved ones, friends and partners in the ministry, students and members of Your church as sensitiveness to the gentle and soft promptings of the Holy Spirit that we may know You and love You and see all the fullness of Your glory. In Jesus Name. Amen.
Tarrying meetings?, yes, I used to hear that term with brother Hagin and others, it sounds very nice and certainly needful, thank you for reminding us, Pastor.

ps. I enjoyed very much the “blessings from the N.T.” recording.
2ps. I wonder why Sydney doesn’t share their teachings, only Cathedral of Glory Singapore does.
