More updates, now in Phnom Pehn

Hey all,

just some further updates on the happenings in the land...

prayers will be very much needed... God has been giving us scripture to pray... like Rhema everyday at different sites. We reached Phnomn Penh yesterday and this place, the buddhism stronghold is even stronger... there's idol worship, mediums everywhere. When we came to a 4 faced idol overlooking the entire Tongle Sap river, God gave Shuyi 1 Sam 5 to pray. About cutting the dagon's head, everythg to be done in 3 days and we realised that is the number of days we will be praying in Phnom Penh indeed. So today we went there again to pray. The spiritual warfare is real and strong, shuyi cou;dnt sleep whole of last nite (bloody images bombarding her mind whever she closed her eyes) n satan tried to attack me thru planting lies in me last nite oso but we are standing strong and firm, not budging.

Another significant thing is that God also impressed upon us that 2 King 4-5, Isaiah 30, about the siginicance of the number 7, after 7 something the land will be completely healed. THen we realised e day b4 ytd dat 7 refers to the number of days we will be interceeding for Cambodia, which is really 7 days in our plan, so we believe that just as God showed us through scripture, our work will be completed in 7 days, and the land will be healed.

There are many other accounts of how the Holy Spirit spoke to us thru His word etc and used one another to confirm his leading. Mayb just share one more, last nite Wenshan shared with us that how God showed her in Exodus 13:21,22 that God is with us and guiding us by the pillar of fire. then as we journeyed from Siem Reap to Phonmn Penh, God showed her 5 candles along the way, be it on posters on the road or on the buildings and she knew in her heart that that was an confirmation from God that He is with us, "the pillar of fire to give them light".
Then after she shared with us, Shuyi shared that during the same journey, she was reading 2 Kings 6:17. She then asked God to open her eyes so that she can see that God is with us. Though she had great faith that God will answer her prayer, she didnt manage to see anythg thruout the journey. It's only when Wenshan shared, then we realised, in the 2 Kings 6:17, Elijah prayed for the servant's eyes to be opened, and indeed God opened Wenshan'
s eyes to see!

It's just so amazing.... THere are just so many scriptures that God gave us at different times when we interceeded for the land, each one so apt to where we are and what we are supposed to pray. It is really like the Sword of the Spirit in Eph 6:17, where God gave us his Rhema word as weapons tho we dono how to pray when we first began.
The battle is so real and strong so we have to continually put on the full armour of God and make every effort to maintain the unity of the body.

God knows that Phomn Penh is a more dangerous place than Siem Reap thus he gave us a pastor to bring us around these 3 days in Phomn Penh. He is a 30 year old Indonesian missionary, dr. Irene Ng's contact. Really thank God for him, if not we would have been charged exorbidant prices for transport here. (There is a blunder behind this, tell u more when we see u again, but God is good! =)

Yea, praise God for His continued guidance. We'll be going to a Khmer church service tml, den to the killing field etc... where there will be more intercession and battles to wage.
Please also pray for our family members and loved ones even as u remember us in prayer here.

Thank you very much, may God bless u abundantly!

cheers,

updates on intercession

Dear brothers & sisters in Christ,

thank you so much for praying for us for the past few days.
Indeed the Lord's hand is evidently with us and we witnessed the power of our identity as God's children and the power of being covered by the Blood.

We have been at Siem Reap (Cambodia) for the past 3 days. We cycled around, stopped and prayed at strategic places as the Spirit led, places includes Youth Centres, landmine museum, Siem Reap river, deserted villages. God also used the locals to lead us to specific places that we would have otherwise missed. The most striking example was that the Lord put in one of our member (Wenshan)'s heart through visions and scripture a week before the trip started. At day 1 she shared with us about it but was uncertain whether it is of men or of God.

When we tried to find the land mine museum, 2 locals reiterated that the museum has moved to another province and is no loinger in the original location. Yet in God's divine guidance, as we were looking for a Christian Outreach Centre, we chanced upon a big signboard that says "landmine museum". God then sent another local to approach us and tell us that we can still visit the museum. He then volunteered to lead the way and thus we found our way there.

We walked around the place and prayed. And we also bought some historical books on Cambodia's bloody history. We proceeded to our next destination to Angkor Wat and wondered if that was all to all the hassle in leading us to the land mine musuem.

God's ways are definitely higher than ours. Shuyi who bought 2 bks, felt very lack of peace as she left the museum. Later she then shared that when she was buying the books, her hands trembled as she held on to the books, yet she knew that she had to buy them.

Before entering into Angkor Wat, Shuyi sensed that she cannot bring the 2 books back to Singapore and she has to do something about them. At the end of the Angkor Wat trip, one of the members felt irritated towards another member and it was voiced out. As we cycled back,Shuyi processed about the irritation and recognised that it was unsual and Satan might have used it to disrupt the unity of the team. As we continued the ride, Shuyi felt increasingly uneasy and that there are spirits following us. The sky darkened and street lights were yet out. These added to all our discomfort and clearly put us in a disadvantaged position in our warfare against Satan.

Shuyi then stopped us and told the rest of the members about it. We must admit that fear filled our hearts when she shared. We then gathered by the side of the road to pray. We renounced our association with the books, confessed to God our sin and asked for God's protection and guidance. Whilst praying, there was a particular Cambodian youth who kept talking to us and kept disrupting our prayers. We need to go eleswhere. Thank God too, at that point of time, we bought a lighter from him at USD1. We rode to further up the road to pray and burn the books.

it was rather silly that we decided to burn the books by the road side whereby the ongoing vehicles just created so much wind. We prayed and began to worship whilst trying to start the fire and tearing our the books. Amazingly, when we began to sing 'it only takes a spark', the spark actually got the fire going! Prior to that, we had umpteen times of failure in trying to start the fire. Somehow, the fire was very weak until a curious cambodian came over and squat down beside us. The moment he helped us, the fire blaze and the word is BLAZE! and it was such a great joy because we witnessed how the Lord used the hands of the cambodian to burn up the stories that speak of sorrows in the land. But we also saw how the Lord send him into the picture to partake in this prophetic act. Anyway we were praying as we were burning up the stuff. and at the end the cambodian stayed with us till everything is burnt up and even joined in our prayers to bless cambodia. Our return back for the dinner was also an answered prayer when the cambodian used his bike light to light upo the way and lead us back to our usual dinner place because Ronghui prayed for someone to light up the way and He did!

At the end of the day, after resting and reflecting, we came together to testify of God's divine interventions and guidance and the moment our dear wenshan said 'glorious', there was a flicker and the guesthouse that we were staying in went into a blackout for more than an hour. Praise God! Because the enemy is anxious to fight back...hahaha but it only strengthened us and caused us to pray so loud that the guesthouse owners also hear us praying very loudly.

Shuyi saw a vision of four lights the moment the light went out and was certain that even in darkness, light was in the land because we are in the land and we carry the light of Christ. Ronghui also sensed a strong presence around her and so we prayed and worshipped and eventually felt triumphant and victorious so praise the Lord because we were made stronger through the attack.

Then after an hour plus, let there be light!

This is one of the more major events that took place over the three days. The Lord has interspersed many miraculous signs to affirm us of his presence. DAy in and out, his hand was with us and we are truly awed by His guidance in this trip.

Do pray alongside with us because the spiritual battle is really strong so we really appreciate and need your continued support. 'Thank you so much. May God bless you as you bless us!

Love in Christ,
LOVE Cambodia 2007

do pray with me please

sorry my 'shift' key is not working so there will be no caps in this sharing and email..

anyway....

dear friends,

when you read this mail, i am probably already on my way to Cambodia, Vietnam and Thailand...on an intercession trip for 12 days from 14th to 25th may...

i believe this will be one of the few trips in my life that has a lasting impact and in this trip, the lord will unfold and show me great things and his plans for my life...

since last half of the year till the first half of this year, the lord has broken me down like never before. and i want to share it with you and testify for the lord as i journey with him...

miracles after miracles, the lord has shown his faithfulness...

it all happened when my brother XXX started to act up against the church and god's people, when he began to shoot down many whom i love and hurl painful remarks at ministries and people. yet the greatest hurt was not from him but from the church when we did not respond in love...it was then when i found myself withdrawing from this church community...too hurt and tired to continue as a cell leader in his life and in this church...

at the same time the school social work ministry was taking off...i saw inspiring Christian lives and i prayed to the lord that i will have the faith that some of my friends have, i will lead the lives that they lead...

it was when i entered into the new testament in my bible reading in a year when i read acts and saw how pple spoke in tongues. i flipped to corinthians and read the normal passage taught to us...no...tongues may not edify others in the church but tongues edify a man's spirit...and i told the lord, if that's the case, i will not speak in church, but watever opportunity there is to be edified, i want it...
two weeks later, i brought my brother to church visit at fcbc and pastor kong said that he felt led to reduce his sermon time and all he did that day was to baptise pple in the spirit and i too received tongues on that day..

i went to metamorphosis camp at the end of the year and in that camp, my life was transformed...or rather together with the event, i heard my call for ministry. i signed up for 'walking in the spirit' workshop but when the verification came, what i saw was 'prayer movement around the world'...so i just went for it...the other workshop that i signed up for was on spiritual warfare...

during the workshop, i cried like a mad woman...what's new? haha...but then again, it was really a boring talk but i was really touched and that night i told my group that i am going to be involved in intercession in all saints' though i have no idea how...yet the burden placed in me since jc days is now too strong to be buried within my heart. the next day, in the spiritual warfare talk, i realised that i was fearful of much and i was prepared to even start the ministry for the lord...

on the last day of the camp, i also gave my life wholly to the lord to be used full time but i understand full time can also be in the marketplace...

anyway the next day after i left the camp, chin han asked me to join mm and i told him, i will only after my intercession ministry is up and i thot it was ridiculous...but i said it

and a day after i got a msg from dianne telling me that it is time to rise up to do something about the intercession ministry and she just knew she had to approach me...praise god coz the timing was perfect....

we meet up 2 days later on wednesday and shared. on friday, we declared a 32 day lunch fast for the church. on sunday, at 4am in the morning i was awakened by the lord, i tried to con't sleeping but i can't. it was then when i heard the lord said, 2 hours every day...i bargained, i cried but i knew it was 2 hours 7 days a week daily before the lord....nothing but prayer...with no agenda but him and his agenda...and this i have been doing for 5 months already and i believe it will be a time when i meet god until he tells me to stop...

thereafter the lord has been faithful...for those who had the chance to hear me, i would have shared about the visions, the revelations, the learnings, the passages that the lord revealed to me...and most amazingly i was not to preach it....beautiful are the works of the lord when i hear pastors preaching the same things i heard from god on the pulpit on sundays and i noe full well that the reason why i was risen to intercede was because god wants to bless the church greatly and advance his works through this church...this is my conviction and i say it with pride that the lord loves all saints so much so much that i cannot even put it into words...he longs for us to be with him and to desire for him and thirst and hunger like never before...

however, together with these comes attacks and spiritual warfare...dear brothers and sisters, i need to be covered in prayer because i have been under attacks and i noe the lord is here with me but he wants to partner you in this work so do pray for me as i pray for our church, sometimes in the spiritual realm...and also because i had these encounters i am really worried about my intercession trips to vietnam, cambodia, thailand this time round and in september to israel...even when i noe that my lord has sent angels before me to prepare the way and given me extraordinary signs to confirm and confirm and confirm his will for me to go on this trip...

i hope to discover the lord's call for me in this trip
i hope to discover more about myself and to find more breakthroughs
i hope to meet god in this trip the way moses would meet god in the tent of meeting
i hope to be led by the spirit and walk in the spirit as illustrated in galatians...
i hope to bless the land through intercession and through my presence because over the months i learned that i carry the blessing of the lord

as much as you can, please do pray for all these and protection over me and my team members and those i love...

i cannot see the path ahead for us, 4 female graduates seeking the lord's will in foreign land, praying against things human eyes cannot see...in Ephesians 6, we learn that we are battling against things that human eyes cannot see...and especially in the area of intercession...i need the coverage in prayer and i believe that those whom the lord places a burden in will pray alongside with me...

if there is anyone who has no burden to pray, then let this be a mail that testifies the lord's ongoing transformation in my life...i am not ashamed of his works though i used to hate being labeled as goody two shoes or holy, or whatever....but this is the Christian call that i received and i just hope the long sharing will become an encouragement as stated in acts that the lord is truly not far from each one of us...in him we live and move and have our beings...that our boundaries and times are set so that we may draw near him...

finally, thank you for your patience. this is a quintessential shoeee mail....coz tis long winded and preachy...haha...i hope you din fall asleep...hope u din get a cultural shock with all these seemingly more charismatic movement kinda stuff...but i guess tis just the path the lord has set me on and tis really exciting for me..'shrugs'

actually, there is so much in other areas of my life including my love life that the lord has intervene in undeniably remarkable ways that i wished to share and testify but i leave that to the patient ones next time...as of now...thanks for partnering me in this intercession trip...

love you peepz,
