Channeling His Anointing - When the stones praise the Lord.....

Blessed is he who comes, the king in God's name! All's well in heaven! Glory in the high places! Some Pharisees from the crowd told him, "Teacher, get your disciples under control!" But he said, "If they kept quiet, the stones would do it for them, shouting praise." (Luke 19:38-40 MSG)

When we are hunger and start to shouting praise to God, the religious leader will throw the accusation in order to rebuke us to stop it. However, the Creator of the Universe said if we keep quiet, even the stones will shouting praise! Why Jesus said the stones will shouting praise?

He replied, “If they kept quiet, the stones along the road would burst into cheers!” Luke 19:40 (New Living Translation)

David Herzog in his book, Glory Invasion, wrote "Recent discoveries (Scientist especially those who work in string theory) have revealed that the smallest particle that exists is not the electron or the neutron. When you take the smallest atom known to man and split it up one more time, there is one particle inside the smallest particle. This smallest particle is known as sound or sound waves or vibrating strings that have "notes"1. Now the Scripture that says, "the stones would...cry out" (Luke 19:40) makes more sense. Sound was the main ingredient that is the base composition of all created things. God spoke them and then they were created. Therefore, sound waves are imbedded in every created thing."

NASA scientists discovered that sound waves of musical harmonious notes were coming from black holes 2 and even they found every created thing has musical sound waves embedded in them. 3

When how the science lead us back to God's word when study in right manner. The Lord also confirmed His Word with signs follows. Last week I brought some stones/ pebbles and asked Pastor Paul Ang for sanctification. Tonight, when I was shaking small stones/ pebbles to make sound of praise in demonstration of Luke 19:40, the Glory of God being released and filled His people with fire in my cell group.

Every Word of God should lead us back to an encounter with the Author of the Word. When I asked others to read the scriptures, the power of God just hit them. The Lord uses different way to channel His anointing to His people and not limited to 'laying on of hand'. All the way/ method of channeling his anointing will confirmed by scriptures. We need to listen what God want us to do and JUST DO IT in order to channel His anointing to bless others. For example, the method used tonight as led by Holy Spirit was anointing stored in handkerchief, praise of stones, anointing stored in stones, reading scriptures, blowing, The Sword, Finger of God etc. The manifestations or side effect of the power of God on peoples were heat, shaking, fall under power, roar of the Lion, crucifixion on cross, Holy laughter etc. We can see the fruit that produce either is healing, deliverance, empowerment or the renewing the love and passion to God.

The Power Line

Recently I am amazed by how the power line transfer the electricity from the power station, to substation and finally to the individual house. These lead me to have a followings sharing....

The flow of the anointing is like power line, it's contagious and transferable. God as a power station, pouring out His special anointing to different one of His earthen vessel (substation) according to His will to be done on earth, eg. fire anointing, healing anointing, deliverance anointing, prophetic anointing, empowerment anointing, worship anointing, gold dust anointing etc.

If u want the receive the power, connect your line to the power station (Holy Spirit) or to the substation (His Earthen Vessel, eg man of God or ministry that God has ordained to do His ministry powerfully). Continuing connect to the power station /Substation will ensure the overflowing of His power over your life. One of the Greek word for the 'power' is Dunamis. As I study the e-Sword, the word 'dunamis' has been translated into other English word such as mighty, miracle, strength, might, virtue, deeds, ability, work, wonderful etc. Here are few example in related to the power line.

When the presence of the Lord come upon us, when the 'power station' come upon us, we will receive the 'dunamis' power. The word of God said we 'SHALL' receive power when Holy Spirit come upon us. Remember, we 'SHALL", NOT we 'may' or we 'perhaps', or we 'think'.

But ye shall receive power (Dunamis), after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth. (Act 1:8 KJVR)


The real apostle move in dunamis power because they are always connected to the power station.

Truly the signs of an apostle were wrought among you in all patience, in signs, and wonders, and mighty deeds (Dunamis). (2Co 12:12 KJVR)

Even Jesus, depend on dunamis power to heal the sick.

And Jesus said, Somebody hath touched me: for I perceive that virtue (Dunamis) is gone out of me. (Luk 8:46 KJVR)

It should be the pattern of the Gospel of Jesus Christ preached through 'dunamis' signs and wonders if we are always connected to the power station.

Through mighty (Dunamis) signs and wonders, by the power of the Spirit of God; so that from Jerusalem, and round about unto Illyricum, I have fully preached the gospel of Christ. (Rom 15:19 KJVR)

Dunamis is ‘the power of God displayed and imparted in a Holy Spirit outpouring.” That is the kingdom!

For the kingdom of God is not in word (Logos), but in power (Dunamis). (1Co 4:20 KJVR)

Indeed, God working through different person with divers anointing according to his own will.

God also bearing them witness, both with signs and wonders, and with divers miracles (Dunamis), and gifts of the Holy Ghost, according to his own will? (Heb 2:4 KJVR)

However, do not satisfy and content. There must be something more. Always earnestly desire the higher gifts. Paul unhesitatingly ranks some spiritual gifts above others.

But earnestly desire the higher gifts. And I will show you a still more excellent way. (1Co 12:31 ESV)

Sharing on 1 Cor 4:20

This excerpt of sharing I received from Ps Paul through email... good to share

“For the kingdom of God is not in word but in power” 1 Corinthians 4:20.

Bill Johnson wrote, “The original language puts it like this --- “The Kingdom of God is not in logos but in dunamis.” Apparently they had a lot of teachers who were good at speaking many words, but displaying little power. They did not follow the pattern that Jesus set for them. Dunamis is ‘the power of God displayed and imparted in a Holy Spirit outpouring.” That is the kingdom!

He further wrote, “The spirits of hell are at war against the anointing, for without the anointing mankind is no threat to their dominion. The spirit of the antichrist is at work today, attempting to influence believers to reject everything that has to do with the Holy Spirit’s anointing. That spirit has worked to reduce the gospel to a mere intellectual message, rather than a supernatural God encounter.

Those who restrict themselves to mere words limit their gifts, and may unintentionally lead believers to pride by increasing knowledge without an increased awareness of God’s presence and power.”

Miracles, signs and wonders are the manifestation of the Holy Spirit to bless the Body of Christ. The importance is the fruit of blessing produced through the manifestation. Where miracles are absent, so is the glory of God, which is the manifested presence of Jesus.

Discover The Ancient Jewish Way of Praying the Bible

When I received CD of the month from Sid Roth last week, what a discovery from the interview with Wesley and Stacey Campbell on how to meditate the bible according ancient Jewish pattern of prayer 3500 years ago! and it's began with Joshua 1:8 when Yahweh spoke to Joshua to 'meditate' the book of the law day and night.

This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate (hâgâh) therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success. (Joshua 1:8 KJV)

The interesting part is the original Hebrew word for meditate in Joshua 1:8 is Hagah (H1897 הגה ). As I studied the word 'hagah' through e-sword, I found that Hagah is not only translated into meditate, but into 11 other english words. One of them was translated as roar (Isa 31:4) where the lion roaring (Hagah) on his prey. Hagah in Hebrew means to speak out loud, to utter-speak, to mutter, to roar or to groan!

I have witnessed a lady from Singapore, who went to Lakeland, Florida for 4 months, roaring on the scripture on Zec 4:6 under the anointing of the Holy Spirit in school of supernatural, Malacca.

Most of us are taught or perceived the concept of meditation is usually to utter-speak/pray the scripture silently and 'religiously', silent thinking or a mental process of reflection. This concept of meditation greatly differs from the ancient Jewish way of hagah. To hagah is actually to speak out loud the book of the law, the scripture. The book of Psalms was Israel's song book, which were sung aloud.

But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate (Hagah) day and night. (Psalm 1:2 KJVA)

It is because not every home has the torah scroll (scriptures), the ancient Jews would 'hagah' the scriptures by speaking out loud during gatherings at the temple.

According to Wesley, by speaking out loud the scripture repetition according to ancient Jewish way, you will experience the supernatural in your life. Allow for 30 minutes each day for praying the scripture (hagah). For example, you can hagah the Lord's prayer. You may find it difficult in the beginning, as you continue and speak out loud the scripture, customize the scripture to yourself, your family, ministries, health, prosperity , etc, praise and worship Him, you will soon enter into the realm of the spirit. He quoted the Smith Wigglesworth, 'we begin in the flesh, but end up in the spirit'

It is not difficult to pray an hour !

It is not difficult to pray an hour !

Thomas Ong

Many Christians do not have time for God and they dont set apart of time for God through Worship and Prayer. They pray in toilet, while driving car or watching TV/movie, in bed etc. They have no time for God except the "intervene time" between one activity to one activity. It is not my intention that we cannot pray in toilet, while driving car or watching TV, in bed or being "religiously" set a time of worship/prayer for God, but it is motivated by the love of God and the zeal of God that within our heart as a booster to have more intimacy time and alone with the presence of God, the zeal of the Lord will consume us, the hungerness for the presence of God will bring us into supernatural, into His greater Glory, greater anointing, greater joy, greater peace, greater revelation and understanding of the secret things of the Lord! It is what the King David heart desire:

Psa 27:4 ESV One thing have I asked of the LORD, that will I seek after: that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of the LORD and to inquire in his temple.

Joh 2:17b ESV "Zeal for your house will consume me."

Why we always have an excuse of no time with God? But we have time to just sit down for few hour for TV, Movie, Astro, Computer?? We have much time for our work, ministry, reading investment magazine, newspaper etc. We have much time for others things than God. We prayed in rush hour and in the "intervene time", we speak too much, when God want to speak, we have left! Many are not be still and listen what the spirit said.

Many Christian do not know what to pray or how to pray for an hour? In fact, prayer and worship goes hand in hand, it is not difficult to pray an hour by using the Lord prayer as Jesus gave us an example of what to pray and how to for.

Using The Lord's Prayer as a six-track prayer guide:

Track 1: Our Father in heaven, Hallowed be Your name
- Worship

Track 2: Your kingdom come, Your will be done On earth as it is in heaven.
- Enforcing God's Dominion

Track 3: Give us this day our daily bread.
- Provision

Track 4: And forgive us our debts, As we forgive our debtors.
- Forgiveness

Track 5: And do not lead us into temptation, But deliver us from the evil one.
- Protection

Track 6: For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.
- Worship

- Allowing ten minutes for each track, it is not difficult to pray an hour by using this six-track prayer guide.

God bless you

Kavod Adonai

Kavod Adonai (weight of God) often translated "glory of God" or "presence of God"

The Weight of GloryThe Hebrew phrase kavod Adonai, usually translated, "presence of God" or "glory of God", refers to the tangible and wieghty feeling people experience when God is especially present. The word kavod in general means "weight", so the kavod Adonai is the "weight of God's glory".

For the ancient Israelites the kavod Adonai was in the tabernacle courtyard and was often not only tangible but was even visible to all the people. From the scriptural accounts we know the kavod Adonai can look like fire or cloud but is never physical fire.

Kadosh

Kadosh (set apart) often translated "holy" or "sanctified"

Set Apart for GodThe Hebrew word kadosh means "set apart". It is usually translated, "holy" or "sanctified".
There are four ways to be set apart for God.
VocationThe first way something can be set apart for God is if God simply declares that the thing is special. The first time the word kadosh occurs in scripture is when God sets apart Shabbat as different from the other days of the week (Genesis 2:3). God later sets apart the days of Pesach as different from the other days of the year (Exodus 12:16).
Nothing in the Tabernacle or priesthood was set apart simply because God declared it so.
People can be set apart for God in this way. Sometimes this is dramatic, such as the calling to be a prophet, but most people do not experience God asking them to do so many specific things, or to be so isolated from society.
There is no ritual done to things that God declares to be set apart for him. Prophets are called but never anointed.
Even though we are not all prophets, it is true that God wants us to fit into his plans, and this usually means God sets us apart for his purposes by having plans for the "big decisions" of our lives such as where to live, what career to have, and if and when to marry. The English word for God choosing these major aspects of our lives is vocation.
Our vocation is not necessarily the work and life we find most pleasing or natural. Moshe never claimed to enjoy shepherding the Israelites. Jeremiah wasn't thrilled about being a prophet. Sha'ul was not talented at public speaking. Yochannan the Immerser had doubts about the message he was called to proclaim. Ya'akov wanted fewer wives than were in God's plans, and Solomon wanted more.
It is also true that we can mess up our original vocation, yet through God's mercy still be part of his plans. God hates divorce and oath breaking. If we are married or committed to an employer, we cannot use the concept of vocation as an excuse to change our situation. God's plans are in some ways flexible, and scripture makes clear that God will work within our vows even if those vows were not part of his earlier plans.
We should all know as much about our vocation as God is willing to reveal. Sometimes all we are told is, "Be patient."
IsolationThe second way something can be set apart is to be physically isolated from the world. Moshe was told that the place with the burning bush (which later scripture makes clear refers to all of Mount Sinai) is holy ground (Exodus 3:5). The curtain hung up as the final wall of the Tabernacle's innermost room made that innermost room so set apart from the world that entering it would kill even the priests.
There is no specific ritual to set something apart physically, but it is necessary to be specific about borders. One aspect of the tallit's symbolism is that within the borders of that prayer shawl is a place especially set apart for God. Some people, at certain points during the service, may even raise the tallit up to be like a tent around their head, emphasizing to themselves that in worship they are alone with God.
People can also use physical isolation as a way of being holy. Messianic Judaism has few, if any, permanent hermits. But events such as prayer retreats are common, where people escape from the routines of normal life and isolate themselves in a place of prayer for a few days.
DedicationLeviticus 27:28-29 tells us that people can dedicate items to God, and these dedicated items become "especially holy". People cannot be dedicated, for anything living that is dedicated must be killed. (Thus Samuel's mother, who dedicated him as a baby, was following an idea from her own mind and desperation, contrary to Torah.)
We are not encouraged to dedicate items to God. The Hebrew word translated "dedicated" is in other contexts translated "cursed" -- perhaps the best translation is "doomed".
Nevertheless, there are some things that are set apart to God as tools in his hands. The furnishings of the Tabernacle were anointed with oil and blood and were "especially holy" tools of worship.
Are people ever set apart in this third way? In some sense kings and priests were; their calling is more than a vocation: they became tools of God. Everything they did, each day, must be with God. For kings and priests God has chosen more than the "big decisions". And if they act contrary to God's specific plans it is at best a waste of time, and at worst a disaster for the entire community.
Kings and priests were also anointed, since they were tools of God.
Tools of God are "especially holy", which among other things means that their holiness is contagious. Holiness can spread by transmission.
Whatever touches the Tabernacle's altar become holy (Exodus 29:37). Indeed, this is what altars did -- they set things apart for God, so that an animal slaying changed from slaughter to sacrifice.
But being set apart does not spread to people by transmission. God made it clear, multiple times, in scripture, that a criminal who grabs hold of the altar gains no safety or benefit. Aharon was set apart by his ritual of anointing, not by the special clothes he wore.
People are never "especially holy". No one can make someone set apart for God by touch. But priests and kings can transmit other spiritual characteristics by touch, as in the Tenach's rituals about priests transferring guilt by laying their hands on the heads of animals, or the New Testament accounts of God's Spirit being transmitted to new believers by the laying on of hands. People were healed by touching Yeshua's tallit (Mark 5:30), or by touching handkerchiefs from Sha'ul (Acts 19:12).
There are no rituals about people gaining holiness by transmission, since it does not happen.
CommemorationRemembering things can set them apart. (Recall that, in scripture, remembering something is about prioritization and action.)
Remembering God's commandments makes us set apart (Numbers 15:40). Remembering Shabbat keeps it set apart (Exodus 20:8).
We too can set things and people apart for God by remembering them before Adonai -- by asking that God actively make his will for them happen when it seems like God's will is dormant, or by asking for God to live up to covenant promises he once proclaimed. We do this all the time: it's called prayer. Thinking of prayer as remembering things before Adonai helps us understand why only prayer that is aligned with God's plans produces results.
Seeing GodAccording to Hebrews 12:14 holiness is necessary to see God. It should not surprise us that our flavors of holiness help us see God in a different ways.
If we resist our vocation we will not see God "enlarge our boundaries" (1st Chronicles 4:10) as he desires.
If we avoid isolation we will not hear God speak in a "still, small voice" (1st Kings 19:12).
If we shy from our priestly dedication we will not see God "show forth the virtue of him who has called you" (1st Peter 2:9).
If we neglect commemoration of God's plans in prayer, or if we do not "remember from where we have fallen" (Revelation 2:5), then we will seldom see God act in our lives.

When Heaven is silent

(Matt 15:21-28 Nkjv)

" 21 Then Jesus went out from there and departed to the region of Tyre and Sidon.

22 And behold, a woman of Canaan came from that region and cried out to Him, saying, "Have mercy on me, O Lord, Son of David! My daughter is severely demon-possessed."
23 But He answered her not a word. And His disciples came and urged Him, saying, "Send her away, for she cries out after us."

24 But He answered and said, "I was not sent except to the lost sheep of the house of Israel."
25 Then she came and worshiped Him, saying, "Lord, help me!"

26 But He answered and said, "It is not good to take the children's bread and throw it to the little dogs."

27 And she said, "Yes, Lord, yet even the little dogs eat the crumbs which fall from their masters' table."

28 Then Jesus answered and said to her, "O woman, great is your faith! Let it be to you as you desire." And her daughter was healed from that very hour. "

What do you do when the Lord refuses to answer your prayer?
Read the above story carefully. On first inspection it seems our Lord Jesus Christ had no desire to answer the desperate cry of the Canaan women. He answered her not a word (verse 23).
Have you ever been in that situation before? Or maybe you are going through it now. Or perhaps you know someone else who is going through it. Pay special attention to this teaching because it will do your faith a lot of good.

Let's get the facts clear. When Jesus' disciples came requesting Him to get rid of what they must have considered a nuisance, the response they got would have startled even them. Jesus said he was not sent to her (verse 24). If this woman needed any more confirmation that she was not worthy of Christ's attention she had got it.
Some would have left the Lord in annoyance at this point. What more could she do?
She came and worshipped Him (verse 25)? This woman still came right into His presence. Maybe she had not heard what Jesus had just said to His disciples regarding her. What Jesus then said she definitely heard (verse 26)? Not only were our Lord's remarks insulting but also downgrading. However, her reply was even more astounding. She was happy to be considered a dog at the Lord's table. Nothing that Jesus had to offer was too small for her.
The clue to this strange behavior of our Lord can be found in His reply to her in verse 28. He commended her faith. What had faith got to do with this? Everything.
Every accepted prayer is not immediately an answered prayer. When heaven seems silent mercy never is.
None of us deserve anything from the Lord. The woman knew. She also knew the mercy of our Lord (verse 27). She was calling on His mercy with her faith.
When Jesus heard the cry of the woman he was pleased with her for He saw her heart and faith. He strengthened her with strength in her soul so that she might pursue her request (Ps 138:3).
Here she was wrestling with God like Jacob had (Genesis 32:24). She was going through a test of faith (Genesis 22:1). She was being used of the Lord to show you and me that no one is 'too bad' to receive the mercy of God. You might have a distance to travel before you can touch Him but it's worth hanging on and seeking His face.
Faith in the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ is the key to making a silent heaven speak into your situation. When the Lord speaks heaven and hell obey.
Although the Lord does not reject weak faith if it is true, He not only answers great faith but also commends it.

The Power in the Song of the Lord

And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them. And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one's bands were loosed.

Act 16:25-26

The song of the Lord is powerful. It has the power to liberate people and to break chains that bind and attempt to pull people down. The song of the Lord brings healing, deliverance and even salvation.

Then he called for a light, and sprang in, and came trembling, and fell down before Paul and Silas, And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved? And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house. And they spake unto him the word of the Lord, and to all that were in his house. Act 16:29-32

PRAYER: Lord Jesus I ask you to release your fresh song into everyone reading this blog. I release songs of joy and passion. Songs of war and power. Songs of wisdom, council and fire. And I declare that the same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead lives in you. So, I say arise. Remove the grave clothes and arise. I speak life into your body. I speak life into the atmosphere I ask for the fresh song to flow on you and through you like a river. Bringing life to all of those around you. In Jesus name I pray. Amen
