I am A SOLDIER In the Army of God

I am a soldier in the army of my God.

The Lord Jesus is my Commanding Officer.
The Holy Bible is my code of conduct.
Faith, prayer and the Word are my weapons of Warfare.

I have been taught by the Holy Spirit,
trained by experience,tried by adversity,
and tested by fire.

I am a volunteer in this army,
and I am enlisted for eternity
I will either retire in this army at the rapture
or die in this Army; but I will not get out,
sell out, be talked out,or pushed out.

I am faithful, reliable, capable, and dependable.
If my God needs me, I am there.

If He needs me in Sunday school, to teach children,
work with the youth, help adults, or just sit and learn.
He can use me, because I am there!

I am a soldier. I am not a baby.
I do not need to be pampered, petted,
primed up,pumped up, picked up, or pepped up.

I am a soldier. No one has to call me. Remind me, write me, visit me, entice me, or lure me.

I am a soldier. I am not a wimp. I am in place,
saluting my king, obeying His orders, praising His name,
and building His kingdom!

I am a soldier.
No one has to send me flowers, gifts, food, cards,candy,
or give me handouts
I do not need to be cuddled, cradled, cared for, or catered to.

I am committed
I cannot have my feelings hurt bad enough.
I cannot be discouraged enough to turn me aside.
I cannot lose enough to cause me to quit.

When Jesus called me into this army,
I had nothing.
If I end up with nothing,
I will still come out even.

I will win.
My God will supply all my needs.
I am more than a conqueror.
I will always triumph.
I can do all things through Christ.

I am a soldier
Devils cannot defeat me
People cannot disillusion me.
Weather cannot weary me
Sickness cannot stop me
Battles cannot beat me.
Money cannot buy me.
Governments cannot silence me
and hell cannot handle me!

I am a soldier.
Even death cannot destroy me.
For when my commander calls me from this battlefield,
He will promote me to a captain
and then bring me back to rule this world with Him.

In the army.
and I’m marching, claiming victory.
I am a soldier, marching heaven bound.
Here I stand! Will you stand with me?

My experience in Newcastle Healing Rooms

with the Directors -Ray and Anne at the HRm

It is a very comfy and most homey place to enter into. There's soft worship music being played in the background and at the reception you are greeted by a very friendly person who gives you a form to fill up and you will sit at the waiting room on nice settees or arm chairs. There are some reading materials laid on the table :-bibles, some files with testimonies, pamphlets on healing and also 'communion is available' for anyone who wants to partake of it while waiting.


Looking up , your eyes will catch sight of signs encouraging you to be silent and to wait upon God as healing can start right there at the waiting area. Many have commented that upon entering the waiting area, they can feel the Presence of God and being still and silent is not a problem bec the Peace will descend upon those who come seeking.. that's why those who come for prayers are called seekers over here... :o)


After a short while, you will be ushered into the ministry room where a team of 2 or 3 enthusiastic people will greet you. You are then invited to take a seat on a comfy arm chair. The leader will look you in the eye and with a smile ask you warmly and most casually a very important question ie " now what would you like Jesus to do for you today?" This was my experience when I first step-in to the Newcastle Healing Rooms as a patient bec I had an allergy from some sun-block I applied when I first came here... 1st hand experience and Wow!!! :o)

Since then, this wonderful place has become familiar and dear to me bec I have the greatest opportunity to join in as a team member..most wonderful experience. I think I had email some back home in KL saying 'PTL! We have the same Holy Spirit here in Newcastle, Australia too...'

Though operating under a smaller and less busy tempo, I have since witnessed how arms and feet being literally lengthened and grown into the same size , sickness gone, eye readjusted and many more, faces lit up and smiles brightened as patients-( oh, here they are called 'seekers'- nicer word too...) but most of all have heard many 'seekers' saying that they felt loved whenever they come for prayers at the Healing Rooms.. so important and I think this is the essence of the Healing Rooms- being a 'safe place' for everyone to come and leave feeling loved bec God is love...!!

Another nice place to be in is of course the team room where we gather and soak... over here, team members take turns doing the anointing. We soak and share anything which the Lord may reveal, we give thanks and take communion together. This is a very precious time bec each and everyone get a personal 'booster' , I mean a personal word and is encouraged before being released fully charged for ministry in the individual rooms. What a way to go because it is really refreshing to hear different team members speaking over lives- and PTL every pair that is randomly called upon to do the anointing have special words given specifically for every one every session.. how amazing ! and talking about the whole team moving and serving under the anointing of the Holy Spirit!! Totally awesome... that is the norm btw... every team member is allowed to have a go...yes, Lord!

After ministry, team members re-gather and have a de-briefing session- sharing the cases and giving thanks for what God has done for each seeker who has walked in before being dismissed. I really enjoy these de-briefing sessions tho short bec often times, we marvel at what God does in our room and also the other rooms... building up faith and also learning new things here and there...

HOW GREAT IS OUR GOD... what a privilege and honour to be a small part in the Body and be so blessed... I am enriched and surely enjoyed every moment and sharing the joy and experience of seeing God touch lives... yes Lord more of YOU...Praise Adonai!!




my farewell at the Starfish with Anne, Ray, Sharon and Margaret (fr left to right- these are my OZ family- thank God for their love, kindness and prayers... :o)

Enter Into Your Father's Embrace..

I am so grateful and praise God for His faithfulness and His grace ; that He does not judge me because Jesus has been judged on my behalf... that I am redeemed and now walk into the freedom to be who He has meant me to be...

1 Cor 2:9 - No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived, what God has installed for those who love Him...

The Lord has this to say...

#“You called me Master and Lord, but yet you do not obey Me, You called me Father, yet you do not come and enter into My embrace..”

“ For only in Me and in My Presence are you secured and protected ...for in the midst of the billow of the wind and storm, I AM your Refuge and Your Deliverer, I AM your Comfort and your Peace.. Come into My embrace and enter into My Rest...” #

If we would only take heed to His Voice, if we would only allow Abba Father to cover us under His Wings, if we would only CHOOSE to believe and not doubt Him...

If we would only stop asking the wrong questions like "why me??" which is an invalid question, a ' victim question' which turn us into 'invalids' but rather ask , "Lord , what and how can I learn from this? -He told us not to be shocked when we enter into trials but to know that in every trial we are transformed from glory unto glory... every trial is a 'promotion' and has a guaranteed result of victory if we would go through with it with Him holding our hands..He has got the answer and He has provided the way, if we would only cease struggling and stop shadow boxing- and allow Him to take the wheels and enter into His embrace... KNOWING that nothing and no one can separate us from His LOVE (Rom 8:35-39)... to have the Blessed Assurance that Jesus is mine!!

#Do not Fear, only believe.. be strong and of good courage, do not be afraid or dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.. (Josh 1:9)#

He awakens my ear to hear

A musical Dummie ( a Noob in music?)!!
I guess that’s me because I can’t read any music scores or the ‘taugeh’ they called notes... even though music touches my soul..
I was watching this programme about an acclaimed Conductor for the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra- Herbert Von Karajan. The Conductor for this world renowned and prestigious Orchestra said this, ”even with my eyes closed, I can distinguish every sound and every note that is produced by every piece of the instrument played by my 120 musicians...” Imagine, how well his ears are tuned to every single sound produced.. totally amazing!

So what is that for me?? Faith comes from hearing and hearing the word of God (Rom 10:17). It didn’t say “having heard” but it says HEARING- present continuous
Does Jesus still speak today? Are we able to distinguish His voice as the lamb will know the Shepherd’s voice?.. Am I able to discern His voice? Do I have the right Frequency and am I on the right channel? Am I counted in His Orchestra?
Jn1:1 The Word became life and the Word is Life... are we tuned in to hear what He has to say? or are we tone deaf?

In Jesus’ time, He went about healing the sick and feeding the thousands. There was a multitude that had followed Jesus and all were amazed having heard His sermon on the Mount and wondered how this son of a carpenter had such wisdom and authority until one day,Jesus said to eat of His flesh and drink of His blood ...all but 12 left because they were offended by what they heard (the Jews do not drink blood!! Well, we have the hind-sight now but imagine if you were there and Jesus asked you to eat His flesh and drink His blood)..Jesus then asked His disciples, “are you leaving also?” and Peter answered “where would we go because when YOU speak, Your word is life to my spirit...”

Sometimes we may not yet fully understand nor able to explain what His Word means but we know that there is something that He has deposited into our spirit.. even though we can’t defend or explain it in a public discourse- we know that the Word He spoke brings LIFE... liken to a seed that had fallen on good soil, in due time we will see and taste of the fruit... those who has ears ,let them hear...

Jesus only does what His Father asks Him to do- there is this in-built antenna in Him who has an unhindered 'reception', ever-tuned to His Father's voice.

Is my antenna up to hear from Him too? Am I fine-tuned to discern and recognise the voice of my Beloved and Lord? and then am I 'an amplifier' who magnifies the sound of the good news of Jesus Christ in HIStory? Am I a part of His great Orchestra who hears His heart-beat and become HIStory-makers..to be a Trail Blazer for Him?

Isa 50:4-5
...The Lord has given me, the tongue of the learned. That I should know how to speak a Word in season to him who is weary,He awakens me morning by morning, He awakens my ear to hear as the learned
The Lord has opened my ear and I was not rebellious, nor did I turn away...

A compass and a donkey

I am extremely fascinated by a compass because no matter where you may turn it ; no matter how you try to trick it; whether you are in the dark or in a storm; in fact under any and every circumstance , it will still point back to the same direction every time.. it bounces right back and points to the same direction ..

Is Jesus my Compass?? That no matter what life may throw at me, I will bounce right back and look to Him.. no matter how distracted or distorted or disorientated things may seem to be , I will still choose to face Him and trust Him through it all.. is He also the Anchor of my soul..?

Isa50:7 ...for the Lord help me, therefore I will not be disgraced; Therefore I have set my face like a flint and I know that I will not be ashamed...
2Cor4:8-9 .... we are hard pressed on every side, yet not crushed, we are perplexed, but not in despair, persecuted, but not forsaken, struck down but not destroyed..

A story was told that a farmer had an old donkey but it fell into a deep hole.. he tried all means and ways but was not able to get it out.. the farmer finally gave up and decided to just bury it.. so he began using his spade to shove dirt into the hole, trying to bury it.. well, the donkey didn’t like the dirt one bit you see ! ... so it shrugged off the dirt and stepped on it, the farmer shoved more dirt and the donkey shook it off its back and stepped on it again - he threw in the dirt, it shook it off and after some time, guess what?.. the donkey is standing on ground level, able to walk out safe and sound...

Hmm, isn’t this a great lesson we can learn and also apply daily?? that we should shrug off and shake off all the dirt that is thrown on us and step on it.. we will be standing tall on sure foundation in Christ, trampling over the enemy...

Well we can’t really stop the birds from flying over us but we certainly can stop them from building nests on our heads.. something to really ponder upon...

To have spiritual tenacity.. to have the iron in our soul.. to have the blessed assurance of the Presence and the Hands of God upon us to walk and see us through daily because He loves us and He that has called me by my name is Faithful and Just -knowing that God is Good all the time and all the time God is Good!

It is not about how we started the race but about how we are to end the Race....
