Overcoming shame and soaring into new heights.

Haman, once filled with pride, returned home with his head covered in defeat.
We are not like Haman, we can transcend the shackles of shame and guilt that hold us back.
Remember, there are two things that cannot change:
God’s promises and our potential in Christ.
We are not defined by our past mistakes or current struggles.
But by the love and grace that restores us.

I knew a piano tuner who lost his passion for his music.
Like him, many of us may have lost interest in our calling, our ministries, our dreams.
Just as God can restore that man’s joy,
He is also moving powerfully to bring “divine comebacks” into our lives.
This is not a time for despair, but for hope!
Get ready for a “recovering,” a rebuilding on a foundation stronger than ever before.

Now, some may compare their current struggles to past successes, feeling discouraged.
But remember, we must “compare apples with apples.”
The Lord is not comparing you to your yesterday, but to the glorious future He has for you.
He sees your potential, your strength, your ability to rise above.

The words we speak hold immense power.
When spoken with authority and faith, they carry the anointing of the Holy Spirit, the power to create and transform.
Let us use our words to build each other up, to speak life and hope into our situations, to declare the victory that is already ours in Christ.

The Lord whispers, “Out of the cage, receive your wings to fly higher.”
We are no longer trapped by limitations or doubts.
We are sons and daughters of the living God, freed from the bondage of sin and shame.
Let us spread our wings and soar into the boundless skies of His promises.

Like Moses on the mountain, we may be called to encounter God’s fire, a fire that refines, heals, and delivers.
Embrace this encounter, for it is in the depths of surrender that true restoration takes place.
You will emerge from the flames transformed, renewed, and ready to soar.

Remember, choosing to follow Jesus is the best decision you will ever make.
It is not a one-time event, but a journey of continuous growth and transformation.
Let go of the past, embrace the present, and step into the future with confidence, knowing that you are loved and empowered.

The enemy may try to steal your dreams, your purpose.
But just as the Holy Spirit was promised and delivered, so too will your desires be fulfilled in God’s timing.
The old ways are being replaced by the new, and we are invited to participate in this exciting transformation.

This is not a time for doubt or apathy.
Like a father encouraging his daughter to move to the next level.
God is cheering you on, urging you to take that step of faith, to claim your victory.
Remember, you are a child of God, declared righteous and free.
Let your faith soar, and watch as God rearranges your life, granting you wings to fly higher than ever before!

A message of hope, a message of faith, during uncertainties and challenges.
Many of us have felt the weight of pressure, the anxieties of the world, and perhaps even a sense of confusion in our walk with Christ.
The good news, a word from the Lord that ignites the embers of our dreams and rekindles our trust in His divine plan.

The scripture tells us, “Go away. The girl is not dead but asleep.”
This powerful message resonates with us today.
Often, the situations we face feel like death, like the end of our dreams.
But God reminds us that they are merely slumbers, temporary setbacks before a glorious awakening.

The enemy may try to steal our dreams, stifle our creativity, and hinder our gifts.
But the Lord declares, “A mighty outpouring of My Spirit is crashing into these very areas… WELCOME BACK!”
He invites us to return to that place of intimacy with Him, to see new landscapes, new designs, and new ways of operating in His freedom.

“Spend the next month believing to be a success.”
We are not alone; we have a God who can help us reach new heights.

“Let people help you reach a new level of financial increase.
Where the past restraints no longer exist.”
God desires to bless us abundantly, not in some distant future, but now, in this very moment.
“You are rewarded not condemned.
God has blessed you with every blessing.”

Yet, there will be wilderness seasons, moments of doubt and confusion.
As Moses experienced, things may seem to go backwards.
But remember, these are not setbacks, but opportunities for deeper growth, for refining our faith and aligning our hearts with His will.

Let us cast aside our anxieties and embrace the dreams God has placed within us.
Let us trust in the power of His Spirit.
And in the unwavering love He has for each one of us.
Let us dream with Him, knowing that He will turn our dreams into reality.

Remember, we are not alone.
We have each other, and we have the Lord.

Building Heaven on Earth

The essence of the apostolic heart: a yearning for heaven on earth, a desire to build communities vibrant with intercession, prayer, and Spirit-led worship.

A Blueprint for the House of God

Jesus himself declared,
“My house will be called a house of prayer for all nations.”
The apostolic heart understands this profound truth.
When a community operates under this true mantle, we witness a transformation. Intercession, fervent prayer, and worship guided by the Holy Spirit become the model and blueprint for the entire House of God.

Every decision, every action, every utterance is bathed in the pursuit of His will.
The Holy Spirit, is guiding the building and development of our communities.

Sound a clarion call for its revival.
I pray that every preacher, every believer, in every corner of the world, may be baptized in the Holy Spirit.

Let us open our hearts to the apostolic fire.
Let us cast aside fear and embrace the transformative power of the Holy Spirit. Let us build communities where prayer ascends like smoke, where worship resounds like thunder, and where the Lord’s presence reigns supreme.

Together, let us create heaven on earth, one fervent prayer, one Spirit-led step at a time.
May the fire of the apostolic heart blaze within us, illuminating the path for generations to come.
“The greatest need of the hour is not more machinery, not more wealth, not more talent, but more of the presence of God in the hearts of His people.” – A.W. Tozer

Step back in time, to a season of revival in a land far away.
Let us journey to China, to a city buzzing with anticipation, where the words of Pastor Ding resonated like a clarion call, drawing crowds to a church overflowing with hope.

At the heart of this awakening stood a man called Pastor Ding, a preacher whose charisma and skill resonated not only with outsiders, but also with the very members of his own church.
He possessed a rare gift – the ability to speak to the yearnings of both the uninitiated and the seasoned believer, his sermons a bridge between hearts seeking God.

On a mission, dispatching a band of thirty workers through the city streets.
They carried my own card, a symbol of trust and invitation, accompanied by printed flyers promising a gathering unlike any other.
We called it the Yen-shuo-hui, yet beneath the familiar name beat the pulse of a distinctively divine service.

Within the church walls, a symphony of devotion unfolded. Hymns soared, prayers ascended, and the scriptures whispered tales of grace.
But at the heart of it all, standing tall and unwavering, was the cross. The very essence of our faith, the sacrifice that transcended time and space, became the cornerstone of every gathering.

Among the many messages etched in memory, two stand out like beacons of light.
One, a sermon titled “The Love of Christ Constraining,” pierced through indifference and ignited the embers of faith within.
Another, titled “My Peace I Leave with You,” resonated even in the soul of the Manchu chief magistrate, who sat beside me that day, captured by the promise of divine tranquillity.

Pastor Ding’s ministry became a testament to the transformative power of God’s word. It transcended boundaries, bridging not only cultural divides but also the walls that separate the seeker from the found.
He reminded us that within each of us resides the potential for a Yen-shuo-hui, a personal revolution sparked by the divine flame of faith.

Let us go forth, not just as church members, but as apostles of hope, carrying the invitation of peace and love to every corner of our world.

May Pastor Ding’s legacy inspire us to build bridges, not walls; to open hearts, not minds; and to embrace the transformative power of faith, both within ourselves and in the world around us.
For in the end, it was the message of the cross that holds the promise of lasting change, of heaven on earth, and of a future bathed in the glorious light of God’s love.
