箴言一吴国平的见证 1017

 

今天我是第一次领属灵的杯和饼!当叶牧师带领我们凭信心领属灵圣餐时,我就在灵里看见了饼和杯。

因不懂,牧师还没有让吃的时候,我就把饼和一杯葡萄汁喝了,牧师说领的时侯,主又给我饼和杯,牧师领了饼,开始领杯,我早己喝了,主又给葡萄汁,给了我三次,我很开心,主说,可以多吃,主很温柔的满足我,因我不懂,他并没有责备我,我好高兴,好喜乐!

 

保罗牧师上来分赐恩膏能力,好喜乐,我笑了好一阵。

特别是牧师说举手,在手上写字,按手在头上,心上(希伯来书810),我眼前就有一行一行的字进到我头脑里面,

一行一行的字又进到我的心里面。全身发热,嘴唇发麻。

我也狮子吼叫!

牧师说喜乐的恩膏,

医治的恩膏……我又笑又喜及流泪。最后牧师要把自己奉献为祭物(罗马书121),

要为主活,不要想着去挣钱,完全献上,不凭自己行事。我就看见自己穿着我今天穿的一身衣服,在一个祭坛上,下面是干柴,我整个人平躺在上面,烈火燃烧整个人,从头到脚,態熊的大火在我身上燃烧。

感恩神收纳我的奉献,抬举我!

感恩安德烈牧师翻译,

感谢宝玲老师带领我们在披麻蒙灰课程学习进入救恩后,经历神迹奇事,看见异像异梦。

哈利路亚,

神必成全关乎我的事!

阿们!

 

希伯来书 8:10 

主又说: 那些日子以后, 我与 以色列 家所立的约乃是这样: 我要将我的律法放在他们里面, 写在他们心上; 我要作他们的神; 他们要作我的子民。

 

罗马书 12:1 

所以,弟兄们,我以神的慈悲劝你们, 将身体献上,当作活祭,是圣洁的,是神所喜悦的;你们如此事奉乃是理所当然的。

 

1. Zoom Testimony 17Oct

Sister Wu from China.

 

This is my first time partaking spiritual holy communion. Ps Esther led us to partake by faith, i saw the bread and cup in the spirit. Due to my ignorance, before Pastor asked us to partake, I already finished the bread and the cup. When Pastor said let's partake, Lord Jesus gave me bread and cup again. Then pastor said partake the cup, I already finished it the second time, Lord Jesus gave me another cup, three times altogether. I was overjoyed! Lord Jesus said to me "you can have it often", He was satisfying me very gently. He didn't rebuke me because of my ignorance, I was very happy. 

 

Ps Paul imparted anointing and giftings, i was very joyful and kept laughing for quite some time. When we were asked to raise our hands, and pastor wrote on our hands, then placed on our heads and hearts (Hebrews 8:10), row after row of Words appeared before my eyes and entered into my mind and into my heart, one row after another. My whole body was hot and my lips were numbed. 

 

I also received Lion of Judah anointing. Pastor mentioned joy and healing anointing, I was filled with joy, laughter and tears. When pastor mentioned offer ourselves as living sacrifices (Romans 12:1), fully surrender to live for Christ, I saw myself wearing the same outfit, lying flat on an altar full of wood and the fire of God consumed my whole being from head to toe, huge and hot flame burning on me. Thank you God for accepting my offering and lifted me up. Hallelujah!

 

Hebrews 8:10

This is the covenant I will establish with the people of Israel after that time, declares the Lord. I will put my laws in their minds and write them on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be my people.

 

Romans 12:1

Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship.

2. Zoom Testimony 17 Oct

Sister Shao Bin (China)

 

I received much lights and understanding when Pastor Esther shared about the flesh and blood of the Lord, having reconciled on the cross pain and suffering, worries, torments, forgiveness and making peace with God (Ephesians 2:13-16). While partaking the spiritual bread and cup prophetically, I felt the thick presence of God.

 

During Ps Paul's sharing, I felt tightness and pain on my chest and upper left brain areas. I knew there are some cleansing to be done. When prayer began, the pain subsided, air was released from my chest. When pastor asked us to receive the anointing of joy, I was filled with great joy and laughed uncontrollably. I also received the Lion of Judah anointing. When pastor asked us to look at The Arsenal of Fire book cover and read its title, i felt heat over my body again. When we were asked to offer ourselves as living sacrifices to God (Romans 12:1), I saw myself being completely offered to God on the altar full of wood. The whole meeting was filled with Holy Spirit's power and fire and it ignited my passion for the Lord once again, Thank you Lord Jesus for cleansing me. I am looking forward to receive more and also deeper encounter in the next meeting. I need more cleansing from God. All Glory to God!

 

Ephesians 2:13-16

But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far away have been brought near through the blood of Christ For he himself is our peace, who has made the two one and has destroyed the barrier, the dividing wall of hostility, by abolishing in his flesh the law with its commandments and regulations. His purpose was to create in himself one new man out of the two, thus making peace, and in one body to reconcile both of them to God through the cross, by which he put to death their hostility. 

 

Romans 12:1

Therefore, I urge you brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God - this is your spiritual act of worship.


3. Testimony Zoom 17Oct

Sis Anna (China)

 

I was ministering to a friend with depression; accompany her with bible study and with prayers. I experienced some disturbance especially the night before the meeting, sleepless and unrest. When pastor prayed and released the anointing, my body was cold and I eventually yawned several times. 

 

I received with my heart the anointing of joy and The Lion of Judah. After the zoom meeting, while praying with few others, I felt a force coming forth from within me and i felt different from my past prayers. Did my prayer walk today and I could feel the power in my prayer released from my belly. Praise the Lord! Glory to God! I am now filled with much joy!


4. 宛玲見証

感謝寶玲牧師讓我們參與特會,我覺得很多人都有領受,我也是其中一個,太多人想分享,剛帶進來的新同學也是滿滿的領受也嚇一跳,謝謝保羅牧師。

我得分想:也是到了獅子吼哪裡開始,身體開始晃,因為我站的位子關係有挺住,不然可以會跌下,還有身體熱,從手開始熱然後麻,然後方言從快到有節奏,而且是我沒講過的,,我是心裡平安的喜樂到感動流淚,我是比較遲鈍的學生,講的分享比較沒那麼豐盛,但我很渴慕神,還有感謝主跟牧師們都帶領,讓我看到你們為主的付出,這很不容易。

 

Testimony by Wan Ling

Many people have received. I was one of them. Many wanted to share testimonies. The new student whom I invited along has also received much and was very surprised. When Roar of the Lion of Judah was activated, my body began to shake, I might've fallen on the floor if there wasn't any support at my back. I started feeling heat from my hand and eventually all over my body and my whole body was numb subsequently. Then, I broke out in tongue and it changed from speedy to rhythmic, something which I have not spoken before. I felt peace and joy and was moved to tears. I am very thirsty and hungry for God. Praise the Lord!


Zoom Testimony November 7

Ps Jessica of AOF Stockton, USA

 

Attended the Fire & Glory Zoom Meeting last Sat. When Ps Esther shared about holy communion, I felt strong healing anointing flowing and thick presence of God's love surround me. 


Then, as soon as Ps Paul appeared, fire poured down upon my head to toe, my belly began to stir, like a lion roaring silently within me...roarrr....roarrr... for multiple times in a row, the roaring sound penetrated and went forth to a great distance in all directions in the spirit, the shaking was as if like an earthquake. This happened at the same time when Ps Paul mentioned about The Roar of Lion of Judah. 


Later while Ps Paul was praying for fire impartation for a brother, i stood up immediately and said, "Lord! I want it, here I am. I saw a vision of blue flame came upon me. It was very comfortable. I felt RENEWED after experiencing the anointing, full of power inside out. All praises to our Lord Jesus!


Zoom Testimony November 7

SIMPLIFIED TESTIMONY FROM A BROTHER :-

 

Last week in DR J KIM Zoom room, Rev Paul imparted unto me FIRE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT.  It was like volcanic eruption right from the belly, spontaneously unleashed sounds of roaring, symbolic of a lion's roar with power & authority, this fiery sound was intense from within the belly, it continued for a while, I could feel it was a powerful & overcoming roar that has been released into the spirit realm, thus taking dominion over the dark world. The roaring coupled with concomitant holy laughter brought about a burning sensation all over my body, perspiring profusely.

 

Praise God, i knew upon receiving this fresh power and authority of God, it was meant for spreading end time REVIVAL FIRE sharing the gospels to save souls, confirming God's Word with signs and wonders, heal the sick & cast out devils.

 

We have a great commission to fulfill.

 

All glory to Almighty God !!!


 


 


 

 





The Power of Anointed Prayer


The test of true Christianity is not a doctrinal test but that of a power test. For when the Holy Spirit comes in power, there’s no need for any form of argument.

 

During our AOF Global Bilingual Zoom on Oct 17, I asked the people to place one of their hands on their hearts and the other hands on their head. Then I prayed, using Hebrews 8:10:

 

The Lord said, “This is the covenant I will make with the house of Israel after that time, declares the Lord. I will put my laws in their minds and write them on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be my people


Instantly, strong fire impartation surged through many people and produced awesome testimonies. God confirmed His words by the signs that accompanied it (Mark 16:20).


The fruits speak louder than any word could ever say so there is no need to argue or debate over the doctrine.

https://arsenaloffire.blogspot.com/2020/10/zoom-testimony-from-china.html

 

In one of my Camp meetings, a lady who had been to revival meetings in Toronto and was a co-worker in Lakeland Revival, was opposing strongly against a ‘unique’ spiritual manifestation. I remained silence as she was arguing and then, the Holy Spirit came upon her to confirm His word and she manifested in the 'signs' she was opposing.

 

This is a normal phenomenon in our meetings and fellowships.

 

John Wesley bore witness for Him about his new faith and God confirmed His word through demonstrating His word by signs & wonders. He shared that he was visiting a woman who was furious about the new faith. His argument only increased her anger. He broke off the dispute and asked her to join him in prayer. She agreed. In a few minutes, she manifested in 'signs' and fell over in extreme agony, both in body and soul. 

 

Ravi Zacharias said, “Over the years I have discovered that praying with people can sometimes do more for them than preaching to them.”

 

To God be the power and glory for ever and ever. Amen!

 

God bless you!

God’s Arsenal (Jeremiah 50:25)

 

Bearing witness of His works is a command (Acts 1:8) as testimony is very powerful tool to overcome and destroy the works of the enemy and save souls.

 

Called to write boldly bearing witness of His works, I share the warrior’s anointing that the Lord has deployed in these hours of an unusual time to swiftly transform lives and revive the people in order to quicken His return.

 

The amazing weapon is the Lion of Judah’s warrior anointing. It is a powerful fire power against the power of darkness (Jeremiah 50:25). Revelation 10:3 says, “HE gave a loud shout like the roar of a lion. When He shouted, the voices of the seven thunders spoke.”

 

Peter wrote in 1 Peter 5:8, “Be self-controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.”

 

The enemy can prowl around LIKE a roaring Lion but he does not have the lion’s roar to scatter the enemies ... Amos 3:8, “The lion has roared–who will not fear? .... “

 

In New York City, we ministered in a fire revival meeting in an old church building. We had to activate the Lion of Judah’s warrior anointing to clear the spiritual darkness surrounding the church. Thereafter, we had an awesome three nights fire revival meeting.

 

Some years ago, I saw a vision that I was standing on a stage facing hundreds of thousands. At the front of the huge crowds were witches, occult practitioners, voodoos. The Lord told me not to preach but to roar so I obeyed. Instantly, with the roar, Heaven rained down its fire and swept all the people to the ground with awesome deliverance and healing. All the occults were set free.


The unusual works of God through His earthen vessels to deploy the Heavenly Arsenal of Fire (Jeremiah 50:25) and the Lion of Judah’s warrior anointing have produced awesome fruits, controversies and stunned the people.  

 

In the past history of every major move of God, there were controversies, insults and accusations.  However, if you are facing such persecutions, rejoice for the Spirit of Glory and of God rests upon you (1 Peter 4:14).

 

Dr Jack Deere wrote: "Think of the controversy that swirled around Jesus, then around the apostles, and since then around every major move of God in history. No man of God has carried a great anointing without having to bear the kind of accusations. The religious leaders would spread gross lies and rumors about anointed men of God perhaps out of fear of losing some of the congregation to the person.”

 

By His favour, God protects His earthen vessels and silent the enemy from discrediting them in order to create fear, confusion and doubts of this unusual calling and times. And honouring the works of His obedient servants, God uses the proven and well established ministers of influence to accredit and exalt them as His ordained and anointed vessels (Joshua 3:7).

 

The new wine that He has created is to put on display the manifest presence of His glory for the world; to demonstrate that the glory of the Lord rises upon them and His glory appearing over them (Isaiah 60:1-2) accompanying with a CLEAR demonstration of the power of word (1 Corinthians 2:4, 4:20).

 

One well established lead pastor wrote to encourage me:- 

 

“With your background, being ecclesiastically untrained and your sudden appearance with power demonstration, you appear to be a disgrace to people; somewhat similar to how the Pharisees, Sadducees, priests and high priests felt about Jesus. You are not accepted here in your own country and yet so readily accepted in USA ... “

 

Another respected leader of great influence who has set up 850 mission schools world-wide wrote an endorsement in my book:-

 

“God has used Paul Ang in such a special and mighty way even though he did not have the kind of "theological" and Bible School training that so many others have. His love for God, his passion for people and the anointing of the Holy Spirit have brought him to where he is today. It is the favour of God that he has bypassed many others and is chosen to be His vessel of honor because his heart is right."

Crucification - Die To Self

 

We can’t achieve Pentecost without Calvary. The Spirit of Glory and of God rests on such vessel mightily (1 Peter 4:14) which has crucified his flesh like Paul who said in 1 Corinthians 15:31, “I die every day–I mean that, brothers–just as surely as I glory over you in Christ Jesus our Lord.”

 

Only at the death of self will our spiritual life makes real progress to do God’s will working with Him in ONENESS because at the death of ‘SELF’, we do not fear humiliation, difficulties or being insulted.

 

I was invited to speak in a forerunner Church which pioneered the Charismatic Movement in the nation. The auditorium was fully packed with more than a thousand members attending the meeting. Many attended with curiosities especially with the Theme meeting ‘Fire Friday.’ God told me to manifest His presence on display through demonstration of the power of His word for the audiences. 

 

It was an honour to stand at this pulpit where many great ministers of God have preached. It was my first invitation to speak in this Church.

 

Standing on the stage, I told the huge audiences that the glory of God was all over me and if the pastor of the church was to touch my clothing (Luke 8:46), he would fall under the power of God. Be like PeterPlease do not walk on water based on the written word of God but wait for the Rhema word from God telling you to do so.

 

Matthew 14:28-29 says that Peter walked on water..”Lord, if it’s you,” Peter replied, “tell me to come to you on the water.”Come,” Jesus said. Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus.” 

 

The lead Elder stood forward to touch me and the Lord confirmed His word. The fire of God surged through the lead church Elder, threw him to the floor. The demonstration broke the ice and opened the hearts of the people to receive the blessings. We had an awesome meeting with the mighty move of God. Praise God that only His works shall praise and glorify His name!


 

Satan is most fearful of people going to the cross and obtaining the victory of Calvary in their daily lives. The Cross crucifies our flesh so that we can truly walk in the Spirit and work with the Lord in ONENESS to stay focused, committed to WORK with Him (John 14:11), for His purpose and glory.

Stay Committed

 

In life, there will always be people who try to squeeze us into their moulds. They will pressure us to fit into who they want us to be. They may be good people and may mean well. But the problem is that they are not the ones who have created and anointed us to be who we are supposed to be. God is. If we are going to be all that God wants us to be and live in His perfect will for our lives, we cannot change our God-given mandate with every criticism that impinges upon us, no matter what. If we live our lives to win the favour and approval of others, we will have to go through life being manipulated and squeezed into their box of who they think we ought to be.

 

On Judgment Day, we are not going to stand before people to give an account of our lives, but instead we are going to stand before the Almighty God. He is not going to say, “Why didn’t you do what so-and-so told you to do? Why didn’t you fit into their mould? Why didn’t you take their opinion?” No, He is going to ask, “Did you become who I created you to be? Did you stay true to what I put in your heart?” We must stay true to who God has called us to be.

 

The odds were against us when we incorporated this fire ministries in 2007. However, we stay faithful and committed to the mission that the Lord has called us despite the severe difficulties, hardships and being insulted.


However, REJOICE if you are insulted for you are blessed as the Spirit of Glory and of God rests on a fully surrendered heart that is willing to stay committed and obedient to the calling of God (1 Peter 4:14).

 

2 Corinthians 12:10

Paul said, “That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.”

 


This sermon vide the link by Joel Osteen will encourage you to stay committed:-

Why We Need To Forgive?

 

Many ministers of God struggle with unforgiveness despite knowing what the Word of God says about it. Consequently, it affects their ministry effectiveness.

 

“For if you forgive men when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive men their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins” Matthew 6:14-15

 

When I was in California in 2004 for a spiritual conference, a prophet shared that he bore severe bitterness against his parents for disowning and evicting him from their home when he renounced his faith as a Catholic priest to become a Protestant pastor. He had such an unforgiveness against his parents that the anointing of the office of prophet, which he was called, departed from him.

 

He cried to the Lord to restore his calling. Finally, the Lord told him to go to South Korea to seek Rev Yonggi Cho to lay his hand on his head to restore his anointing. He obeyed and went to Seoul, but he did not have the opportunity to meet Rev Cho. He ran out of funds after staying in Seoul for almost 3 weeks. In a desperate last attempt, he tried to meet Rev Cho who was scheduled to speak at a conference in a hotel. On the way to the hotel, he saw a man walked out from his limousine which was caught in a traffic jam. He recognised the man was Rev Cho making his way to the hotel so he chased after Rev Cho, kneeled down and took Rev Cho’s hand to place on his head. The anointing was restored instantly.

 

I believe this prophet knew that he needed to forgive his parents and he had repented before God. He knew the spiritual consequence of having an unforgiving heart. He chose to forgive his parents and released them into the freedom of his forgiveness and in return, he was delivered from the spirit of rejection and restored.

 

When I was at the conference in California in 2004, for almost 18 days, I was watching pastors and leaders being blessed with fire and spiritual gifts impartations. However, the Lord did not touch me at all.

 

Finally, the Lord visited me in my bedroom, told me that I had four unforgiveness. Instantly, I fell face down to the floor, repented on my unforgiveness as well as surrendering my life to the Lord.

 

Thereon, blessing after blessing fell upon me and I received an unusual gift from the Lord to impart fire and spiritual gifts, especially to ministers of God, to raise them to a higher level of spiritual zeal to work with God through fire cleansing, refining and purification. Praise God!

 

Like to share this with you about my unforgiveness ...

 

After I was born, I was sold to a businessman (my adopted grandfather) who was a well-known wealthy physician. He bought me to be given as an adopted son to one of his sons whose wife was unable to conceive. My adopted grandfather had many grandchildren from the other sons and I grew up in a large family with many “cousins” of my age. I was his only adopted grandchild and many members of the extended family viewed me as an “outsider”. I was very rejected and this affected my behaviour. Even as a baby there was animosity between me and my cousins living under the same roof. My adopted father would side with my cousins and I was not treated fairly. My adopted mother questioned him and he answered that I was adopted and that blood was thicker than water.

 

For the harmony of my adopted family, my adopted grandfather decided to send me to my maternal grandmother.  My adopted grandfather paid my grandmother to look after me. My grandmother was poor and she had to work hard to make ends meet and at times, she would carry me to her workplace accompanied by her 10-year-old daughter who is my auntie. I was raised in a very poor depraved environment. The house that we lived in didn’t have electricity. During the day, when my grandmother was at work, my 10-year-old auntie would babysit me and cooked for both of us. She had to stand on stool to cook and do house chores. In those days, fire woods were used for cooking and my poor 10-year-old auntie had to work very hard like an adult.

 

Curious to know what was like to have parental love, I found my biological parents when I was 15 years old and stayed with my biological brother for two months. However, my adopted mother discovered it, confronted my biological mother to honour the adopted sale contract. As I was in my teen, I was devastated and grew up with bitterness and unforgiveness.

 

The unforgiveness blocked the blessing of Lord until I repented.

 

Today, in the presence of God, let us search our hearts to see if we need to forgive someone who have wronged us. Unforgiveness is like a poison which eats us up from the inside. Unforgiveness is difficult to master and we need to ask our Father in Heaven to give us the strength to overcome this stronghold of the evil one.

 

In the Lord’s prayer, we ask our Heavenly Father to forgive our sins as we forgive those who sinned against us. Matthew 6:15 says, “But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.”  Forgiveness isn't just kindness to others, it's kindness to ourselves. It is for our own good that we choose to forgive someone and release him and ourselves into the freedom of forgiveness. It is a decision we have to make to forgive someone willingly so that the evil one will not hold us in bondage. This means that we must love our enemies and bless them.

 

May this sharing bless you. Hallelujah!

 

To God be the power and glory for ever and ever. Amen!

 

God bless you!

A pastor wrote to me whether I would be able to write something strong against Joseph Prince’s false teachings and denounce Joseph Prince as a false prophet, a wolf in sheepskin, and that 13 ministers and 22 lay persons have written for him.

 

Responding to his sincere request, I emailed him as follows:-

 

Thanks for asking me to comment on your views on the teachings of JP.

 

I've given much thought to the request, prayed and sought advice from my council members on the matter. 

 

After much considerations, I've decided not to comment openly for the following reasons:

 

a) no ministry is perfect and even main line denominations have differences in doctrine and theological emphasis. Despite the differences, still many churches of different Theological persuasions are still able to coexist peacefully or even cooperate as we have much more in common than differences. 

 

b) I believe JP is called to minister to those who are oppressed by legalistic religious compliance instead of relying on the grace of God. His ministry has brought salvation and healing to many. He is preaching Jesus as the only way to salvation and that is most important. Some of NCC members do attend my ministry and I welcome them to experience the fire of God without questioning their Christian doctrine. I also believe you have a unique calling too. Of course we must have a balance of spiritual emphasis between faith and work to avoid being extreme and that's where we need godly wisdom and humility. 

 

c) I believe in amicable dialogue if there are differences as taught in Matthew 18.

 

d) I believe strongly in the unity of the body of Christ especially in Singapore. Without unity, there will be no Revival. Unity is a receptacle to hold the anointing oil of God to be poured as in Psalm 133. 

 

Rev, I understand your stand with regard to JP's teachings and you may have a calling to warn others of falling for the 'soft' option in our journey of faith. One of the surest way to guard against deception in these last days is to build our faith foundation on the sound teaching of the word of God without being personal. Our enemies are not flesh and blood. You are a good teacher of the word and I am sure that your ministry will benefit many without being distracted. 

 

I hope my sincere sharing helps you to understand my position. 

 

God bless

 

Rev Paul K P Ang
