The Mark of a Forerunner/Revivalist

A young man—enthralled by the power he witnessed—ran up to Smith Wigglesworth and begged for the gift. Smith said, “you don’t want it. Before God is through with you, you will feel as if a thousand switch trains have run over you.” Before God uses you greatly He will wound you deeply.

Before God can entrust us with a calling of a forerunner or revivalist to work miracles and do greater work for Him, He will turn on the fire of trials, tests and temptations until our lives heat up purging away the sin and self. Then, only God’s power begins working in us.

God cannot entrust us with greater work for Him if we cannot be trusted with the little thing as Jesus said in Luke 16:10-11, “Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much, and whoever is dishonest with very little will also be dishonest with much. So if you have not been trustworthy in handling worldly wealth, who will trust you with true riches?”

Obedience in walking in the ways of God and keeping His requirements are the lives of a forerunner or a revivalist.

In Exodus 33:12-13, Moses said to the LORD, “You have been telling me, ‘Lead these people,’ but you have not let me know whom you will send with me. You have said, ‘I know you by name and you have found favor with me.’ If you are pleased with me, TEACH ME YOUR WAYS so I may know you and continue to find favor with you. Remember that this nation is your people.”

Zechariah 3:6-7:-

The angel of the LORD gave this charge to Joshua: “This is what the LORD Almighty says: ‘If you will walk in my ways and keep my requirements, then you will govern my house and have charge of my courts, and I will give you a place among these standing here.”

Genesis 17:1-2:-

“When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the LORD appeared to him and said, “I am God Almighty; walk before me and be blameless. I will confirm my covenant between me and you and will greatly increase your numbers.”

About 11 years ago, a pastor shared with me that God told him to set up a Church and a Bible School in a specific location and await an awesome revival. It is already about 20 years and he is still awaiting for the prophetic word to come to pass.

If you are called to be a forerunner or a revivalist, don't think that when the Holy Spirit starts moving, people are going to love you. Just like the book of Acts, when the noise of stirring and moving of the Spirit begins, so does persecution. People will accuse you of being a cult and speak evil about you. They will want to destroy you, like the history of past revival faced by people like John Wesley, the famous evangelist John Sung and many others. The willing and obedient bear the mark of a true disciple and Sonship. This is the mark of a forerunner/revivalist who works miracles, signs and wonders.

Fire Anointing and Its Purpose

Jesus said in Matthew 7:21-23:-

“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and in your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?’ Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’’

An apostle/teacher in the USA was training leaders how to heal the sick and perform miracles. A prophetess said to him: “The Lord says to you, ‘How dare you teach those who are unclean to do my works. Stop it.”’

God has made us “kings and priests unto our God” (Rev 1:6). HE wants us to have the power of kings and the purity of priests.

“What God chooses, He cleanses. What God cleanses, He molds. What God molds, He fills. What God fills, He uses”. - J. S. Baxter

Paul said in 2 Timothy 2:20-21, “But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and silver, but also of wood and clay, some for honor and some for dishonor. Therefore if anyone cleanses himself from the latter, he will be a vessel for honor, sanctified and useful for the Master, prepared for every good work.”

Before the Lord could use a person as His earthly vessel of honour to speak the oracles of God demonstrated with signs & wonders, displaying the tangible manifest presence of His glory for the world, God has to purify His earthly vessel.

The fire of God surged through me for almost three years to cleanse, refine and purify me to prepare my readiness.

When I stood at the pulpit to preach the gospel for the first time, the fire of God came down and swept through the entire congregation. In less than 10 minutes, there were hardly anyone left sober to listen to my preaching. Almost all were in the spirit and even my interpreter was thrown down to the floor, trembling under the power of the Lord.

Then, the Lord spoke to me that if we desire the words of our mouth to carry His power to speak the oracles of God with signs & wonders, our mouth must belong to Him.

What is the purpose of the Fire?

God is a consuming fire (Exodus 24:17, Deuteronomy 4:24, Hebrews 12:29). The presence of His consuming fire (Malachi 3:2-4, Zechariah 13:9) will consume us to burn away:-

- the dross in our lives

- the dross of wrong purposes and motivations, leaving behind a concentrated focus on the things of God.

- our works and motives that is contrary to God’s purpose in our life.

- unnecessary desires of life, leaving behind the one burning desire that God wants us to accomplish as we serve Him.

- resistance that the enemy puts in our way that prevents us from proclaiming God’s message.

- resistance, doubt/unbelief and fear.

His consuming fire also:-

- free us from bondages

- break down the mind

- manifest Jesus - Christ in us (Colossians 1:27, "Christ in us, the hope of glory"); and

- made us into a pure perfect vessel.

After we go through the fire, we will be a new creation (2 Corinthians 5:17, "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come”). The fire of God will transform believers from lukewarm to on fire for Him, and obedience to do the will of the Father which is the key to holiness and the mark of a true disciple of Jesus Christ ... Sonship.

To Him be glory for ever and ever. Amen!

Zoom Broadcast

The pandemic has not only shaken the entire world system, but also the spiritual climate in unprecedented ways, setting the stage for the greatest revival in the harvesting of souls and setting the world on fire for Jesus. Nations are locked down. Fear and anxieties prevail, and the churches are not spared. Many church services and ministries are disrupted and services going online.

Spiritually, it is a wake-up call and a time of urgent reflection on what God is doing. Is the church worship of God programmed so much like the world system that we ought to be delivered from “Egypt”? God’s ministries have to be realigned with what God is doing today. It will be no longer business as usual for the Church. House Churches will be the new norm just as the early Churches, preparing the way for the Lord to pour out His Spirit on ALL FLESH (Joel 2:28. Romans 9:25-26), filling the earth with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord (Habakkuk 2:14).

No one could have guessed back in 2018, when Nancy Coen gave me a prophetic utterance that God would use me to reach out to nations without having to physically travel there, and that there would be a Covid Pandemic placing the entire world in quarantine. The Zoom Broadcast was relatively unknown then.

Praise God that our various stations from Australia, New Zealand, including Dr Jin Kim from California, and our Singapore AOF Global are now reaching out to several nations via zoom. By God’s grace, we have also made inroads into several cities in China, and there are many awesome testimonies of God’s love and power touching lives.

Covid Pandemic - Zoom Broadcast

Shalom and Good morning!

(Picture - a posting by my new friend Dr Timothy Sng on his Facebook page. He is a Neurologist with Pantai Hospital, Kuala Lumpur and an author of several books)

Besides having many great ministers of God in Malaysia as my friends now, I thank God for the honour and privilege for Revival Fire Movement’s (RFM) Board of Trustees to appoint me to the Board. I will be able to work alongside these great ministers of God in Malaysia. We will advance God’s Kingdom together to bring glory to our God. In unity we will do great things for His Kingdom.

I am looking forward to visiting Malaysia again and many other countries once the international borders are opened.

To Him be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

A brief introduction of Dato Chua Jui Meng and RFM.

Dato Chua is the Chairman of RFM Malaysia and is actively promoting unity amongst the local churches and igniting through RFM the revival fire to churches. Being the ex-Health Minister of Malaysia, he has long retired from politics but has never retired from serving our Lord God Almighty. God is using Dato Chua’s position of influence to work with Him for His purpose and glory.

The Lord has anointed our dear brother Dato Chua to minister to huge crowds who need personal healing and deliverance from all kinds of evil oppressions and terrible infirmities.
