God is definitely using the media to touch lives. I can't help but say whoever has a heart for the media industry, you got to hear this message. If you don't, then I hope you do see what God is going to do in this current generation.
This message is so powerful and real in my life. That's because I was having the same revelation and passage during my quiet time yesterday morning. And today, after I watched this sermon, I was affirmed.
Here goes:
At the last “Kingdom Come” in Los Angeles I gave a message on “The Calling of the Artisan” from Exodus 35, 36… watch this youtube flip cam sermon part 1-8. This message is a clarion call to those who have a calling in the arts, media & entertainment field. It is key to understand that God can not create culture without the “artists” creating on earth as it is in heaven. The Spirit of God fills artisans to create, influence and shape culture for His glory. Watch this messages series, be inspired, and know that God has given you a gift to create, innovate and infiltrate culture with His creativity personified through you! Read more here...
He talks about Jin in this part of the clip.

Take Authority!
I was speaking to a sister who was going through a toughest time in her life.
It seemed as though all doors were closed and she had thoughts of giving up, and even spoke dejecting words and murmured about suicide. There I was at her house, and felt called to pray for the whole house. I was hoping there would be other brothers and sisters around to assist me, but God reminded me it was Him in me, not man! It will definitely be good to have bros and sisters around.. but in times where it's just you alone, believe it, God can do amazing things too!
So, I prayed against any spirit that was causing stress, depression or suicidal thoughts upon her and asked for the Holy Spirit to fill her house, her room and her being.
That was just my simple faith and I believe God opening the door for me to understand more of Him and also allowing me to see what He was going to do in the next few days.
Day 2, she emailed me saying how ultimately depressed she was and wanted to see me after work. I rushed to her place again and we had a long talk and tried to find both practical and spiritual solutions for her case. I was amazed because God had given me words to speak and courage to command. And I never was so firm yet able to minister through gentleness and authority. It was definitely the Holy Spirit!
Anyway, at night when I sent her home, she suddenly mentioned that my prayers the night before worked. For in such a long time, she hadn't been able to sleep due to the endless worries and troubles she had. But that night, she slept so well.
It was awesome.
Day 3 - I visited her again, and she said she was so encouraged and inspired after speaking to one sister who helped her in her work. She then told me how awesome God has been in her life, and she actually slept till 11am that day.
I'm still following up on her but I can see that God has used this situation to teach me how to show sincere love, and love with His love. God helped me to see things and people that matter to Him. And also showed me His intention when He wants to bring someone closer to Himself. Yes, and ALL GLORY TO GOD!!
We all have the authority to command the enemy to LEAVE and GO AWAY. We ALL have the authority in Christ Jesus. It's not just for people who are pastors, leaders or called in the deliverance ministry. Jesus said to His disciples, "...In my name they will drive out demons..." (Mark 16:17b)
Children of God, soldiers of Light - TAKE AUTHORITY!
Yeah... right after that incident, I read Jaeson Ma's blog which he personally experienced a similar incident, his friend wanting to commit suicide... I'll post it here for you to read:
Sometimes you just never know when someone may really try to take their own life. At 4:30AM I received a blackberry messenger message from a friend in Asia that was cutting herself. Not only this, but she was hearing multiple voices in her head telling her take her life. She got to the point where I had to call her, when I did, she was crying hysterically and screaming over the phone in desperation. I immediately realized this was more than just a mental breakdown, but this was spiritual warfare. I began to pray for her and bound every evil spirit attacking her mind in the name of Jesus Christ.
The Bible makes it clear that as a believer we have power to bind and loose. We have the power to cast out demons (Mark 16:15-18) and to heal the sick body, soul and spirit. It got pretty intense, but I began to pray out loud and I bound the voices speaking to her, she began to tell me that she felt something, a presence choking her and she could barley breathe. That is when I prayed and commanded whatever was tormenting her to come out in Jesus name…. read more here.
It was a lesson for me. And I learnt a lot through this incident.. and am still learning.
God has been really humbling me and taking me on a journey... and at altar call at Church on Sunday, I received prayer and a vision from a leader who spoke exactly what God was doing in my life.
I'm so encouraged and blessed... At the start of this year, I placed the vision God gave me for the year on Facebook... this is what it says, "Embracing the treasures of 2010. Yes... Treasures hidden below hard soil... :) Faith, Hope, Love - LIVE and RUN!"
The vision was a portion of what I'm doing through as I'm getting to the treasure below... too much to share here, but I'd love to share with you if you asked me! :)
Thanks for reading... and may this post bless your heart!
Take authority:
Pray - draw close
Command - see deliverance and healing

Here I am again...
Laying it down... surrendering...
If it'll happen as you show, then I will wait...
At least I'm blessed for who I am... that I can wait. :)

OC2010
So... OC2010 is over. Whao.. as usual, I'd be doing a writeup on my experience...
I'm now sitting at home instead of being at work cuz I've been down with flu-ish symptoms. Argh.. the nose that doesn't stop, the forehead that feels heavy and stuffed up... the sore throat that makes swallowing difficult, and the body aches that makes you just wanna lie in bed.
I think it marks a good time for me to get some rest too. Thank God I don't have much to do at work today. So I'd better rest up for today, and go back to work tomorrow, because I'll need to do some more serious experiments tomorrow.
OC2010 experience:
Shekinah Performance
I guess my OC experience began a month before OC2010. I have been involved in Shekinah for the past 2 years now that I've known God, and it's so mind blowing to see where God has led us over the past years. I haven't been with Shekinah for a long enough time, but in these 2 products that I've been involved with them, I see God stretching me.
So when I signed up for this, I didn't know I'd be getting a role in the contemporary dance group. Neither did Belle. But as things progressed, I had to learn a set of contemporary dance moves from Anna, a professional full time dancer. Whao, I was so stretched from where I was.
So many times I wanted to give up, as I felt I wasn't as graceful and technical as the other 2 girls. But time and again, I heard God say, "Don't give up." The performance blew away. Awesome. God's glory and presence was there...
Beyond just the performance, I witness miraculous healing occurring through the production. Some of our team members were injured and sick. Ps Lance had a gift of healing and he took us through praying for these people and they were all miraculously healed instantly! And guess what... on the day of the performance, my thigh muscle froze and I fell during the morning rehearsal. I couldn't do the moves that I had to do in my performance anymore.
This came a time where I was personally able to experience the same healing! Ps Lance and everyone on the set came and prayed for me... and each time they prayed, the tightness reduced and step by step I was able to receive that healing, and I could bend my knees again!
Praise God!
There was also a time where the whole team just rested in the presence of God backstage while the intercessors came and prayed for us. It was amazing as one of the intercessors actually saw a vision of me holding 2 rods and performing some moves.. and she mentioned that God had given me strength and beauty to be able to worship Him.
I then asked her if she saw me during the rehearsals, she said she didn't. Whao... amazing... the intercessor was from New Zealand too, so no way would she have known that I did Wushu too...
But that really blessed my heart and I had the assurance from God to bring my dance and performance as an act of worship unto Him.
That's a very brief summary of my involvement and experience in the Shekinah production.
Next up...
Serving:
There was altogether 4 days of the convention. The first 2 days I spent hours and hours with the Shekinah team and it was honestly, tiring. But it was a fulfilling experience. I also got to see a lot of other people who gave up their time of leisure during their free time to be behind the scenes during the whole period of the convention. All the sacrifical hearts.... they were all so amazing.
I found so much joy serving.... the 2nd two days of the convention, I was rostered on Security. In the midst of my tiredness, I actually started off with a pretty bad attitude. But God corrected my attitude and later in the afternoon, I actually felt more peace and joy serving.
Sunday evening was awesome. The presence of God was so strong in the place, even during the prayer session before the main session. I was partly worshipping God and partly serving as security but despite being 'distracted', God's peace fell upon me and I felt joy and peace just standing there.
As the worship begun, I went back to my lifegroup and had a great time of praise and worship with them. During worship, the presence of God was so strong and some people manifested. Being the security I had to be there to help out and at the same time, I felt the same feeling of the infilling of the Holy Spirit I felt during last year's OC2009.
The same filling I had when the Spirit filled me, I had when I was helping the girl who manifested. This ministry of deliverance has been my heart beat and I felt God somehow spoke to me through this incident. God also gave me strength and encouragement not to give up serving Him... as I was contemplating on doing so due to all the tiredness.
His Grace and His Strength is sufficient for me.
I realised I always have these thoughts about giving up when the going gets tough. Thank God for my nature that I seldom will actually give up. But the discouragement can so bog up my mind and being so much sometimes I feel utterly depressed and unproductive.
Even in the times when I was preparing for the short film for Shekinah's competition, I felt so much like giving up...
God has taught me so much prior to OC2010 and even during the convention.
And... now that the convention is over.. God has also taught me a lot of other things... and He's still not done with me!
Ah...
I wish I had some pictures to show.. but I don't cuz I didn't take much photos during the whole convention as I was backstage most of the time.
OC2010 is truly a different exeprience that I've had compared with the other two OC that I've been through. I can't say which is better, but they are all definitely different experiences. And it doesn't stop here... I'm back to in the world... but taking Heaven to Earth! Hahaha.... back from the transfiguration, I'll always say.
Now... I kind of remember a vision I had when I was a new believer... God gave me a vision of the transfiguration.... and allowed me to know, that even though the mountain top is good... we have to go back down... and do the work of God.
Ah... ok.. I'm about to fall asleep now... back to resting!
Have a good day everyone. :)
