Rest is Such a Huge Thing

I have compulsory REST over the last two days, mostly lying down listening to the sermons of Bill Johnson and Heidi Baker. Also watched a HK drama series, read the Bible and soaking worship.

Hebrews 4 refers to the rest in Christ. Heb. 4:3 “Now we who have believed enter that rest,...”

Rest is a Huge Thing – it is about knowing that you are not in charge.

There’s no striving in rest, and faith comes out of rest. It’s the place of peace that faith grows out of. When anxiousness comes, when peace seems to dissolve, returning to the place of rest is where you’re going to find your expression of faith. Out there striving, fighting devils, fighting thoughts and fighting this and that, is not where faith is found. Faith is found in the place of rest. So, you go back to wherever you lost your peace and work from there to recover true biblical expression of faith.

You’ve got to capture your moments, because when you lose your moments to fear and anxiety, we never get those moments back. But God is so glorified when we work to maintain that peace, that place of rest and just express trust and faith in Him. It’s the highest of honors.

We can experience this rest now, as we ascend to God in worship (Heb. 4:4-11). Prayer in worship leads us to the eternal rest of the Kingdom. The reality is that heaven and earth are joined in worship.

Get soaked in God (24/7 Prayer - pray without ceasing.) One of the first hearing things I’ve ever had in my life was when I was praying and asking for what He is going to tell me. As I was kneeling there, I had my hands raised and started worshipping the Lord – the lyrics just came to my mouth, “….” I learned that you get a whole lot more done by worshiping Jesus than you do by striving and trying to figure everything out.

As His presence becomes manifest upon a worshiping people even unbelievers are brought into an encounter with God. We experience this when we worship God during the deliverance and healing ministry time in Thailand. How did it happen? Heaven touched earth, I tell you what, depressed demons don’t like hanging around happy Christians. You repel them! In Psalms 2:11, we’re told to “rejoice with trembling.” So this is the prescription. Rejoice, with trembling if need be.

Thailand Mission Trip Thanksgiving

Dear Covenantors,

Thank you for your encouragement and prayer support. Because of your prayers, we are so awed and thankful that God showed up in Singburi and Inburi to heal the sick and brokenhearted, and to set the captives free. Quoting Pastor Eng Kiat's, he felt “the Holy Spirit is like a wind moving across the province in the last one week, touching and healing people through the ministry of the mission team.”

We saw for ourselves the fruits of the Covenant Green Shop – a pig farm, a mushroom farm and a fish farm. The initial start up money comes from our own Covenant Green Shop. The pig farm we visited belongs to a woman, called Miw, whose pigs are paid for by the covenant seed fund. She had attempted to commit suicide in the past but was saved by her dog. She contacted the Christian radio station, which linked her to Pastor Eng Kiat. Thanks to the labour of love from Pin Kiat and Gek Hiang and contributions by Covenantors, Miw and other families who received your love gifts are able to start life anew.

We also want to express our appreciation to Covenantors who contributed brand new stationery and cash donations that were given out as gifts to the Thai children and needy families during outreach events and visitations. We met up with the students who are recipients of the Thai Education Fund that was raised from the Sharity Food Fest and contribution from church. All of them are from needy families and had done very well in their studies. One of them was even interviewed by a local TV station for overcoming adversities and coming up top in her studies.

Thanks also to the parents of the young adults who released their children for the mission trip amidst the H1N1 flu. I remember Su Lan (Pastor Derek Hong's wife) declared prophetically during our Jul 09 Burning Bush Service that the young adults are like eaglets ready to take flight. This has indeed come to pass as they soared high during the mission trip by being so open to being used by God so that many lives were healed and impacted through them.

We want to thank the Pastoral staff, Session members and Mission Committee for their magnanimous support in terms of financial contribution and spiritual impartation to the mission team. Special personal thanks to Pastor Keith and Mui Fong for their advice on the planning and preparation for the trip.

And not forgetting the prayer and fasting team who prayed for us. Thanks so much for co-labouring with us during this mission trip. You all are the home HQ for the mission team !

Although we saw the Holy Spirit moved in physical healing and deliverance, God showed us during the trip that many Thai children who are abandoned by parents needed inner healing, many of them rarely have a chance to experience true Fathers love. We need to pray for them to continue to open their hearts and allow our Heavenly Father to touch them with His love.

Though the people we've ministered to will be followed up by Pastor Eng Kiat and the local church members, lets continue to commit them in prayer and stand alongside with them through our prayers!

All Glory, Honor, Praise and with Thanksgiving to God !

Wan Hsi, Eunice, Lydia, Kirstie, Joyce, En Min, Ying Qi, Charissa, Keryn Shi Wei, Alvin, Mark, Clarence, Gabriel, Andrew, Jacob. Henry & Carol

N: Thanks Aunty Ellen for your words of wisdom and everyone else for your support. God is the same in Singapore and Thailand and I believe that God's going to continue being totally awesome and real even after we return. And I too believe that the people 'left behind' will have their OWN incredible, personal stories to share as this is only the beginning as blessing upon blessing, testimony upon testimony will be heaped onto us. Yeah.... hopefully you agree. Having said that, we do not look forward to seeing you all again. Kidding. But I really feel an ache, a sense of loss, that all this is over so soon, because everyday had been so rich in experiences. I really don't know how to start writing as I feel so overwhelmed.

G: Yeah, today was amazing! Just go rest N, today I'll help ya out with this. The Fathers love was really tangible during today's session. From the morning session about knowing how much our Father loves us and Wan Hsi's testimony till the very end, Gods love just kept us going. Anyways, here's what sorta happened: the morning session started with Wan Hsi asking all of us if we knew how much God loves us or that every thought He thinks of us is good (when she asked that, I sorta noticed that quite few hands went up and those that did, did so quite hesitantly). She also noted that we tend to relate God the Father to our earthly fathers, which explains the response to the questions, as Pastor Eng Kiat(PEK) clarified: the Thais relate to their parents with so much reverence that they do not actually have any physical contact at all. The most intimate greeting they have is just the standard bowing with hands together. So in a way, due to their culture, the Thais rarely have a chance to experience true Fathers love. Our job was to pray for them to open their hearts and allow our Heavenly Father to touch them with His love and also to give them a nice BIG hug to enforce that love in their lives.
Then we had a super good thai kuay teow lunch together like a big family! As a person who doesnt take spicy food, I just have to say that even non-spicy thai food is uber. I don't mind eating it everyday even though my choices are quite limited. (time for more chilli training)
Anyways, back to the subject at hand, the afternoon session is a youth camp. about 40 youths from around the region came to attend it. There were little girls and boys, teenagers( there was a group that even looked abit ah beng), adults, and even an adorable little old lady in yellow(shes so cute I can still remember her smile). for the adult session, Wan Hsi shared her testimony about how God always hears us when we call upon Him and Uncle Henry(UH) and PEK stood in as proxy fathers to the thais; that was an AWEsome session.
UH and PEK filled the breach by being fathers to the thais for that moment, in which the thai people could release themselves from the hurts of not having felt a fathers love. In the words of UH himself, and I quote: the thai people really released forgiveness to their fathers, some of them even asked: Why were you not there for me when I needed you? Where were you? One of the girls said: "I've not seen you father, I've wanted to see you, I've always wanted a father like everyone else." One of the men, Sayang (yes thats his name), said: "I'm sorry dad, that I hit you when I got angry at you." Another woman, who was abandoned twice by her natural father and then by her step father, said: "I'm angry at you father, why did you leave me all by myself?" The Holy Spirits presence was so strong and the stories and words were so heart wrenching that UH and PEK wept openly while asking for forgiveness from the people and for a prayer of blessing from our Heavenly Father over their earthly fathers. At the same time, the team also went around and hugged and comforted the thai people and prayed for them. The Holy Spirit's presence was so sososo tangible right then, that even whilst ministering to the thais, some of the team also burst into tears when our Wonderful Father touched their hearts and released forgiveness and healing to their own hurts. How amazing and beautiful our God is! Personally, this is the most important day to me in the whole trip. The past 7 days, we mostly prayed and moved in physical healing and deliverance, but today, God moved in the spirits of the people and showed us what He meant in His word when He said we are of one spirit. What an amazing family we have in Jesus!
Before dinner, we all really needed to recharge and since it was our last day, it was time for IMPARTATION! Recharge + Impartation = FIRE TUNNEL
the whole team formed a tunnel as best as we could in the small area we had, and all the people present walked through it. (remember the "ah beng" teenagers I mentioned earlier? well as it turns out, looks can be deceiving and they participated in all the previous ministry and even waited their turn to enter the fire tunnel) Every single one was prayed for. Some of us were knocked down by the power of the Holy Spirit and Wan Hsi was so filled with the spirit she couldn't find the strength to get up for dinner! But after going through it we were all restored and it felt so goooood!
After the ministry time, we had another super duper thai dinner, brown sweet soup with rice, pork ribs and meatballs! ROCKS. A-ROY to the MAX.
Well, I took so long to type all this that everyone's like already resting. so I think this is where I'll sign off today. See you all tomorrow back at home!
