Prayer Night - 24th December 2008

Prayer started off at 9pm being the eve of Christmas due to the traffic jam and road block.. We started the session with Laurence leading us in worship. During the prayer time, Ray received the following verses. 2 Corinthians 3: 11-14 2 if that which has been done away was glorious, much more that which remains is glorious. 2Co 3:12 Then since we have such hope, we use great plainness of speech. And we are not like Moses, who put a veil over his face so that the sons of Israel could not steadfastly look to the end of the thing being done away. (But their thoughts were blinded; for until the present the same veil remains on the reading of the old covenant, not taken away.) But this veil has been done away in Christ. Hebrews 12:2 looking to Jesus the Author and Finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and sat down at the right of the throne of God. Hebrews 2:11-12 For both He who sanctifies and they who are sanctified are all of One, for which cause He is not ashamed to call them brothers, "I will declare Your name to My brothers; in the midst of the assembly I will sing praise to You.we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

Richard shared that a message of war and a message of preparation are 2 different messages. For 5 years we had message of preparation. Preparing the people for war. The next 5 years the message will be of war. For people who have not prepared when they hear the message of war they will be confused and will be wondering what God is trying to say etc. Those who have come into this season prepared will be able to receive the words.. Christ said, the words that God gave to me I have given to my disciples..From God, He gives you words. For example, if you want something from God, God gives you in the form of words. As we prepare for war in the second 5 years, God gives us the weapon in the form of words to enter into a period of war (next level). The first thing that would be affected will be you as you will be transformed first in order for you to come to war. The words that God give to you is to change you, to transformed you, to let you see. The Bible says, God open their eyes..Your eyes will be opened to see many things that you never see before. It's okay if you undeIt is not necessary for you to understand. Some of the miracles that God will do for His people is to open their eyes to see many things that they never see before. He will lift the veil from many people eyes. Many of us have a lot of experiences, knowledge, teaching but somehow our eyes still cannot see. In 2009, the Lord will lift the veil for those who have prepared, to see many things. It will not be like in the desert where Moses gave the word but their eyes were still veiled and they still wanted to do what the Eygyptians did.. Because you are in Christ Jesus you will see many things. To many it will be a miracle. It was not necessary for you to see earlier because of the timing..that it was not necessary for you to see before. Kim Au confirmed the sharing by Richard as she saw an eye that was very dark, without the light of God but it grew brighter and brighter. She further stressed that next year with the "coming crisis" we should come before the Lord in repentance and to pray. Wini shared that in the first vision she saw, was three shiny balls with difference colors. The first one was blue color, the second, bright silver and third one too sure.. Then saw a hand that was twirling the three balls.. Isaiah 63 - talks about God's judgement and loving kindness and the need for us to repent.And two scenes..first a stream but in a very dark setting with glimpses of light. The second scene was also a stream but this time it had a peaceful and calm feeling and the water was flowing through a tunnel or canal... Victoria shares that God is warning her (and I believe it also mean all of us) to repent and be faithful. Wini ended the session with a closing prayer and we proceed to cut the cake that Kim Au brought..and it was delicious!
