Lady with the River

Had a dream last week or so about a lady on stage sharing something to a group of people. And as I stared at her, the Lord spoke to me -- "Prophesy to her".

But I didn't have anything to say so I waited and listened to what she was saying. She was sharing about the River in Ezekiel 37. When she was done, I pointed to her and said, "God is going to use YOU to bring forth that river!" And I woke up..

That weekend, a lady shared about the River in our little home gathering but she shared about the River in Revelations and how it was for everyone so I shared the dream and said it must be for everyone, then.

After the service, someone from that group came up to me and told me that his pastor who was lady was preaching about the river just this week. He was so excited to share that dream with her.

I believe it's for more than one person here. If you've caught the revelation of the river, and have shared it with people, this dream is for you. 

God is going to use YOU to bring forth that River!

Car spins 180°, fast lane

Once, I was in a situation where my car spun around 180 and I was faced with oncoming traffic on the fast lane but cars couldn't see me because of the bend...... I highlighted anyone that came and waited for a break to cross over to the slow lane where God opened up an exit along the highway I didn't even know was there, so I exited. Road was wet and slippery just after the rain. Anyone could have crashed into me. They kept honking as they tried their best to change lanes to avoid me. If I had not been praying in tongues aloud the whole journey before this happened,.. I think I would be dead by now..

Sometimes, God Saves with Ponytails

Both legs flew upwards and the next thing I know was my head falling backwards against the cold hard floor. Saved by a ponytail. It really hurt but then again, I couldn't help think that falling down this way was dangerously funny.

As I reclaimed my posture, I felt a sudden cold rush of blood inside the back of my head.. I wondered if I had minutes or hours left before collapsing and never coming back..

I thank God for saving me from premature death. Again. This was the same way my dad's mom went. She was really young when it happened and I never got to meet her but I did inherit her wavy hair..

Due for an X-ray tomorrow to determine if I had indeed been awarded a fracture on a left toe, I am still appreciative of the fact that the Dr has finally determined that there is nothing deeply concerning in regards to my head injury or any other injury aside from that. Praise God and blessed Rosh Hashanah!

Creative Word of God

Had another dream.. lol. At the end of the dream, a voice said, "Young people, be submissive (I think) to the Word of God; Old people, be creative with the Word of God." Then, I woke up.

And then I was confused about what 'creative' could imply.. doesn't sound right -- we can't change the Word of God.. then I thought.. maybe it meant, 'be creative with Teaching the Word of God to the young people.' but no.. it clearly stated "be Creative with the Word of God". 

So I did some research, and found out.. it meant using the creative power of the Word of God, so "be creative with the Word of God" meant to be creative, using the Word of God to create.

Fishing Baptism

Had a dream about people going to the river to be baptized. The fish and animals were attracted. Some people started fishing easily with their hands -- huge and long fish, bigger ones a metre long -- while the preacher was standing in the river, preaching about the love of God. People were getting baptized. I was so touched by the simple word of the love of God that I said, this is what I have been looking for... It was no ordinary Salvation message. This one came with so much of the Spirit and anointing that even the animals were attracted..

Dislike elementary sermons?

I've been in a situation where God has asked me to preach a very simple message to the church I was visiting -- the topic was "Vision". It wasn't highly revelational or trendy or 'new'. It wasn't something on my heart or something I would choose. But I went with it anyway. 

When we enter a church and realize that the preacher is not preaching a highly revelational topic or new to us, or that we didn't learn anything from it, don't judge the preacher. Sometimes, elementary preaching is not caused by the preacher but the congregation.

Hebrews 6:1

Therefore, leaving the discussion of the elementary principles of Christ, let us go on to perfection, not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works and of faith toward God, 2 of the doctrine of baptisms, of laying on of hands, of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment. 3 And this we will do if God permits.

So elementary preaching is permissable but rare.

My Valedictorian Speech - Doctorate in Ministry

I represent the class of 2016. 

First and foremost, I would like to appreciate the people who brought this day into being: God, who never fails and makes sure we never really do; Rev. Dr. Dexter and Lily Low, my parents, who have poured not just knowledge but spirit, heart, and soul –their lives– into all of us –we truly hope we have lived up to your standards; and all our other lecturers who have been coming from all over the world whose hearts were to make us the signs and wonders God has intended us to be– you are all true servants of the living God. Thank you for those sleepless nights and invaluable insight that superceeds the treasures of the world.

[pause]

Not all of us are here because we earned it. Some of us are here because we have, in fact, unintentionally earned it.

When I was still schooling, my dad used to say, “Don’t just study for the sake of studying. Study because you want to learn. It is not about the grades. It is about learning because you want to.” 

I, and many of the students and graduates here, started our classes in the School of Christian Ministries at least two decades ago. Why? Because our time here was really just to learn and not simply collect credit units. In fact, when many of us first signed up and attended some of those classes, we were not even aware of credit units being offered. 

In fact, don’t be surprised, if after this graduation ceremony, you still find us in classes with everyone else– not just as teachers but students.

I started attending courses in SCM when I was about ten. And I would like to encourage all the young people today to enrol as young as ten, not because it takes forever to graduate but because they are truly capable in understanding what these adults are talking about and can submit papers which are both relevant and competent. I am a living testimony of that.

[pause]

During my time here, what I really learned was that we were special people. I have also learned how we were to be properly equipped as special people. We needed special training– and this is just the place to do it.

A graduation is the beginning of new beginnings. What lies ahead is life. Today, we celebrate new beginnings. 

[Prayer of Decree]

In Jesus’ Name, Today, we hatch the breaking forth of a new anointing, the unlocking of spiritual doors which stand between us and the destiny that is ahead of us– we say to these doors, be opened. Today, we pave the way for our graduates to walk into the promises of God upon their lives. They will experience a continuous road of victory and power. They will see the fulfillment of the visions and dreams that God has placed upon their hearts ever since they were young. There will be a restoration of those dreams today. We unlock their hearts to the realization of their destinies today, in Jesus’ Name.

My message to the Graduating Class of 2016:

If the world remembers us not, 

we are nobody;

If God remembers us not, 

we are nothing.

True legacies live on,

true legacies multiply;

A heritage leave not behind,

without a legacy.

No sons without fathers,

 no fathers without sons;

First a true son be,

 then a true father.

Homemaking

My dear daughters,

I've come across so much content out there teaching us how to make a home. And I've tried. And I've failed. 

Too much of those content focuses on what would look nice. And how to organize based on what seems to be appropriate to the makers of those content.

But there is no two homes alike. And what works for others is not going to work for you. 

I realized that the best way to make a house a home is to find your workspace. In every room, there is a workspace. And if you can make your workspace work for you, and apply this method to the rest of the house, you have made a house a home.

This means that aside from just the beauty of the house, it has to be convenient to us. There is no point in cleaning and organizing if daily items that you need are difficult to reach. Beautify your house around your practically.

Dear Teens, God is Real

When I was 15, I thought to myself -- how do I really know God is real? What if it's all a lie? So I tried to disbelief and see what would happen if I stopped believing. Then the Holy Spirit asked me -- how do I know that anything is real at all? Like how do I know the paper that's in front of me is real? And I said it's because I can see it and touch it. I use my senses - seeing and touch. Then, God told me that it's the same with Him. I can't deny Him because I can sense His presence and it's all around me.

I Saw Jesus

Saw this on FB and thought I should keep this post in a safe place:

Hello. This is my first post. I posted anonymously bc I think others may make fun of me. This incident happened last summer. But i think about it all the time. I wish i understood the meaning of it. I have been reading the posts about nde and I now have the courage to share my story. My husband and I were eating at a diner having an early dinner. When ordering, at the last second, i added bacon to my order. After ordering i said to my husband "i hope the bacon is ok to eat at this time of the day. Maybe i shouldnt of ordered it." The food came right out and we started eating. A few minutes into the meal I felt the bacon was not going down my throat. I sipped my soda and still it would not go down. I then realized I was choking and i needed help. I began to wheeze and I started to panic. I looked at my husband and reached my hands towards him. He then asked me if I was ok. I shook my head no. I slid out of my seat and stood up. My husband quickly started to perform the heimlich on me. He tried several thrusts but It was not working. My wheezing got louder. I started to feel weak. I felt like I was in a fog. I remember my husband shouted "call 911 my wife is choking." I felt like it wasn't real. This can't be happening to me. I was in a dream. At that moment right in front of me Jesus appeared. He was standing up off of the floor. He was dressed in all white. It was very bright. He had a gold ring around his head. It was a beautiful blue behind him. Once I saw Him I knew I was going to die. This was it. This is how im going to die. He then said to me " I am here, Noreen." He outstretched his hand to me. I was then felt completely at peace. I wasn't scared anymore. So I said. "Ok, take me with You". I then reached for Him. I wanted to take His hand. I began to feel my body falling forward. I remember thinking to myself i need to lay down. Suddenly my husband pulls me straight up and backwards into his body to stop me from falling. It was at that moment the food became dislodged. I started to breath easier. The wheezing had stopped. I was ok. I was alive but I wasn't sure. I looked for the image of Jesus but he was gone. I realized I did not die. My husband asked me if I was ok. He told me i was white as a ghost. He asked me again if I was ok. I remember thinking i just saw Jesus. He was right in front of me. Did everybody else see Him? He was right there. I was shaking. I did not feel like I was there in my body. Was i in a dream I wasn't sure. I am not a religious person but i believe. Why did He appear and not take me with him? Why did He appear and not someone else like my grandparents who i spent a lot of time with? Is He still with me? Maybe it means nothing at all. I don't know. But I'm positive it was Jesus. I'm alive. And i do not need to be afraid of dieing anymore. I won't be alone. When the time is right, I guess, He will take my hand and lead me home. I will try not to be afraid. 

Thank you for reading my post. My eyes are filled with tears as I write this. It was frightening experience. I hope and pray He is still here for me.

My comment:

My mom saw Jesus -- twice. Neither was near death experiences.

The first time, she had morning sickness and Jesus came through the window and held her hand and walked out with her to show her something -- an answer to a question she had which would decide her next move.

The second time He came was five kids later. She was praying in the room. He came, took her by the hand and led her out through the door -- she saw herself still kneeling. He took her to all the other people in the Bible School and told her what would happen to each one and to each of her kids. Then, took her back through the door of the prayer room. She got up and went to meet the rest for breakfast -- they wore the exact same thing she saw them wearing earlier so it wasn't a dream. But after prayer, all of them refused to eat. When she asked why, one of them spoke out and said that they will not eat until she had told them of her devotion that morning. She was startled but shared that Jesus took her for a walk. So they all sighed a sigh of relief and he explained that her face shone.... I guess that's why your face was white..... Or maybe you had a lack of oxygen.

But I'm glad He didn't take you just yet. Remember to talk to Him daily and read His Word so you can hear His voice.

It's not your time. You are here to share your story.

You will go to Heaven if you continue to develop your relationship, chatting with Him and loving Him.

Divine Encounters

When I was 5+ years old, late one morning, a voice said to me, "Anna, you're going to have a great party." Who would believe me? But I did have a great party -- more than a hundred people, someone built a treehouse with a slide that went into a pool of water. We had playground equipment hired, a handmade indoor maze bigger than half a basketball court, mascots, etc. 

And again when I was 17, I was studying for my finals and really struggling with biology, a fatherish voice boomed so loudly but comforting, "Why are you pushing yourself?" My parents didn't hear a thing.

God spoke to my dad for half an hour when he was 19, telling him that He would use Him to preach the gospel, and showed him visions of him preaching to hundreds -- he was just a new Christian then and didn't know that some of the words He spoke came from the Bible, "While you were in your mother's womb, I knew you and ordained you as a prophet to the nations". (He grew up in a small village in Malaysia.) My dad is an international preacher now.

My mom did not just hear God but Jesus came to visit her -- twice. The second time He did, He took her out of her body and went for a walk around the house and told her what would happen to each kid while they were sleeping -- all came to pass.

Many more stories -- angels, demons, healing the sick, raising the dead, etc.

Family Dynasties

Might want to look up family dynasties: Rockefeller, Rothschild, etc. just to learn from them but not follow them.

It works and it is good for continuing something that you really have in your heart, i.e. ensuring that each of your descendents have a pool they can get a loan for a house from or a loan for their studies. Interest paid is less than the bank but goes back into that pool. 

A pair of parents wrote a will that nobody could sell an amazing piece of property that they bought by the beach but everyone in that family can use it for holidays etc. for free and so it has been going on for generations. Everyone ended up going there for holidays because it was free, and they kept meeting other family members and relatives and networked among themselves pretty well each holiday. That's a way they kept the family together.

What I can never really understand is that after so many generations have bought houses and earned their way to the top, it doesn't last more than three generations unless you have something legal in place like this. 

Sometimes it is called a family trust or a foundation. When David told God that he wanted to build Him a house, God said He would build him a house instead and the word for that is Dynasty. This is why it is so important to understand about family dynasties and how they work.

All the best.

Homesteader Homeschooler Amateur YouTuber Wannabe

Watch other homesteaders on YouTube. The less professional, the more authentic and the more people will want to watch. Today, it is all about originality, the human touch, and authenticity.

Display your mistakes, brag about it, make a blooper. And you will be the greatest hit on YouTube. I want to watch the hilarious and real life of homesteading, and your amateur set up. It is real life, and people appreciate that because they can identify with it.

If it helps, watch an episode of A for Adley. Little girls love that show because they wish they had a father that cared at all, played with them.
