Magic for Christ

Ponta the Smith Spellbound

Michael — Tue, 18 Jan 2011 07:37:55 +0000

The guy Ponta the Smith is amazing. He’s a japanese guy with superb coin skills. It is all natural and as smooth as silk. He published a tutorial DVD called SICK. From then on, the whole coin magic community is talking about it and practicing hard. I just got my coins last few days and can’t wait to put up a little performance immediately. It’s called the Spellbound. The first trick of the SICK dvd.

Healing the Sick

Michael — Wed, 29 Sep 2010 11:18:47 +0000

I believe it is always God’s will to heal the sick. Every hindrances to healing is not from God. We as Christian must take up our responsibility to heal the sick by the power of the Holy Spirit. This is what Jesus did and we must do the same. Jesus said, ‘I send you as the father had sent me.’ There is no wrong way to pray for the sick. The only problem is that we often hesitate to do it. I pray for faith, boldness and understanding of their divine privilege for all sons and daughters of God. Amen

The manifestation of the Sons of God

Michael — Fri, 20 Aug 2010 06:03:54 +0000

“For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.”Rom8:19

We are the sons of God and we must manifested so that we walk on the earth in the way Jesus did. When we look at the body of Christ now, we see different groups with different doctrines and emphasis. Some teaches on sound doctrine, some teaches healing, some teaches prayer. Often they focus only on what their communities specialize in and overlook, minimize, ignore, neglect, or worse oppose the emphasis of other groups.

I’m not saying that we shouldn’t have a mandate or focus. In fact, we are all assigned by the Lord to specialize in a particular function that is beneficial to the whole Body of Christ. Like eyes is mandated to see and ear is mandated to hear. We each has a role to play, an assignment to do as a part of the Body. But beneath that, as an individual we are each a complete Son of God. What I am called to do is not my identity but my assignment.

The Sons of God must manifest. “My little children, of whom I travail in birth again until Christ be formed in you” Gal 4:19

The Power of a Transformed Mind

Michael — Fri, 20 Aug 2010 05:40:48 +0000

And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. Rom 12:2

When we accept Christ and receive the Holy Spirit, our spirits are born again by the Spirit, but our mind is still our mind, old and corrupted. That’s why the Apostle Paul said we must transform by renewing our mind. The best way to do that is to meditate on the Living Word of God.

The Bible says we have been crucified with Christ and rose again. We are dead to sin and living to God. The Bible says that we ask and shall receive. The Bible says that we lay hands on the sick and they shall recover. When the biblical truth seems to contradict our every day experiences, what we should do is not to invent some creative theology to explain the phenomenon. For too long have the Church been living on theology invented by disappointment instead of the Word of God.

But rather, we must keep believing according what the Bible says and means. Such faith will allow the truth to manifest in the physical world gloriously. We can gain such faith which is based not on sight by on the Word, by meditating the Word for however long it takes, for faith comes by hearing the Word of God.

Sometimes the Holy Spirit would highlight some scriptures in my mind and give me revelations about them. I believe the correct way to respond is first give thanks to Him because this is so precious (I must remind you and myself about this although this sounds trivial). And then, we should meditate on the scriptures and the revelations until it becomes our first nature. We feed ourselves with the flesh and blood of Jesus. He in me and I in Him. We digest and absorb the truth until it becomes an integral part of our being. This will allow us to actually do the Word, not by sheer fleshly or soulish will but by completely transformed from the inside out.

Supernatural Financing Prayer Request

Michael — Thu, 12 Aug 2010 03:28:43 +0000

My wife and I are in need of financial support in order to continue our full time ministry. We pray for supernatural financing for our family and a stable dwelling place for us and Bethany, our daughter who will be born in Nov 2010.

We are committed to prayer and fasting and worship.We desire to build 24/7 prayer and worship houses in Hong Kong, China, which we believe is a divine strategy to prepare the return of the Lord Jesus.

We pursue biblical doctrine – learning and teaching truth taught by the bible which would bring the fallen minds of man back to God, renewed and transformed; in order to prove that the will of God is pure, good and pleasant. (Roman 12:2)

We pursue biblical lifestyle – the first and second commandments taught by Jesus, to love God with all your heart, all your soul, all your mind and all your strength, and to love your neighbor as yourself is the life vision we are committed to for all the days of our lives. We aim to live our life according to what Jesus taught in the sermon of the mount. (Matt 5-7). We believe prayer and fasting, offering, holiness to be some of the most important parts of Christianity.

We pursue biblical experience – the disciples of Jesus will do the miraculous works of Himself and beyond. (John 14:12) The preaching of the gospel must be accompanied by the display of power and authority of the Holy Spirit which is within every born-again Christian. (1Cor 4:20)

Brothers and sisters, we invite you to pray for us.

Love

Mike

Setting Your Eyes Focused

Michael — Tue, 10 Aug 2010 11:21:29 +0000

Luke
11:34 The light of the body is the eye: therefore when thine eye is single, thy whole body also is full of light; but when thine eye is evil, thy body also is full of darkness.
11:35 Take heed therefore that the light which is in thee be not darkness.
11:36 If thy whole body therefore be full of light, having no part dark, the whole shall be full of light, as when a candle by its bright shining.

I was listening to Mike Bickle’s sermon named Contending for the Power of God (part 2) this afternoon. I know the Lord is saying something to me. I have to set my eyes more focused on Him. If my eye is single, the whole body is full of light. If my eye is evil, my body is full of darkness. I can’t earn anything just by being present in a prayerroom or a full time ministry. I have to actually do the staff. Intercession, laying hands, prophecying, healing, preaching. I have to once again set my mind to focus on the Lord opening my spirit to Him. And let His light fill my being. That is the only way I am going to become a burning and shining lamp.

The Lord has chosen me. I’m not going to let Him down. Cause I love you, Lord.

Love

Mike

Answer received

Dear all beloved

Praise the Lord for He is faithful. I have got my answer to the questions I had about intimacy with God. Well, I think Jesus reads my blog, too. Thank you, Lord, I love you.

First of all, I want to tell you that Jesus is delighted to see that many of us here (including me, obviously) have a genuine and sincere hearts set to love Him with all our being. He takes it personal and are very pleased to see this. He wants to say to all of us that He loves each and everyone of us with all His heart, too. That’s sweet, Jesus.

The Holy Spirit has been guiding and instructing me about how to get what I desire, a living and loving heart. Foremost, I have to set my number 1 life goal and vision to be to love God with all my heart, soul, mind and strength. No wonder Jesus called this the first commandment. Secondly, everything just boils down to setting time apart and sitting in front of the Lord to speak God’s word to yourself and back to Him and, which is essential, believing it.

God loves you like the Father loves Jesus. You have the right to claim that you are the favorite of God therefore. Remind yourself every day, every hour and you will feel your heart lively and burning with love again.

Praise Jesus’ name for His love is the best!

Love,

Mike

How to feel His love?

Michael — Thu, 22 Jul 2010 05:21:15 +0000

How can I feel His love? I found myself easily distracted in prayer or even worship. Is there anything I done wrong? What is the secret to intimacy with God?

Had a few days of nice divine romance…..but seem to lose it again….God I’m hungry and thirst for your love and presence. Is there anything I can do to keep you in my life? To be able to feel your presence every second, every minute.

Would someone teach me please?

Love

Mike

if ye find my beloved, that ye tell him, that I am sick of love

Michael — Thu, 15 Jul 2010 11:05:06 +0000

In the Song of Songs, the King lifted his presence from the Shulamite 2 times. The first one was due to her disobedience. But for the second time, the Shulamite actually obeyed the King and she had a really hard time seeking His face.

I believe that is exactly what I am going through. Oh, Lord where are you. Where is your love. I can remember when I sitted at the apple tree and tasted the apple. Your banner over me was love. But I have almost forgotten its taste already. I can’t take it anymore. I need your love. I need you, Lord.

The Shulamite hesitated to open the door for the King because she didn’t want to make her feet dirty again. Sometimes we think we are good, perfect and clean. We acted in some way and it had been working well so far. But suddenly you feel that the Lord calls you to open the door. Suddenly you have a crisis. Haven’t I opened all the doors for Him already? Admitting I am not as good as I thought is like making my washed feet dirty again. I have washed my feet, how shall I defile them?

But then my beloved put in His hand by the hole of the door. My bowels were moved for Him. Yes, I have unopened doors. I must open them. Loving Jesus and be loved by Him is more important than being correct, in fact more important than anything, than the whole world. I live to be loved and love Him.

I opened to my beloved; but my beloved had withdrawn himself, and was gone: my soul failed when he spake: I sought him, but I could not find him; I called him, but he gave me no answer.

If ye find my beloved, that ye tell him, that I am sick of love.

Love,

Mike

Hope in His mercy

Michael — Wed, 14 Jul 2010 12:25:29 +0000

This is day 2 since I commit myself again to wake up at 6am to spend time with the Lord.

I found that after all, the only thing that matters is to love the Lord and be loved by Him. I pray that I can feel His love and abide in Him always.

I have been working full time in a house of prayer for over 2 years already. But I am ashamed to admit that I spend very little, or virtually no time praying privately. I do spend time to do devotional stuff. But it was limited to studying the bible or listening to sermons. That’s probably the only thing in the Kingdom of God that I enjoy to do. However, lately I found that I became more and more negative inside. I am easily offended by people. I have envy, bitterness, anger, lust and other bad things inside of me. I can feel that my heart growing cold. I believe that there is something wrong with my devotional time which made me backslid. What I did is knowing about God but not knowing Him personally. I must get back on track by spending more time beholding His mercy.

When I meditated on psalm, it took a lot of effort to convince myself that I am the person who are receiving His love and mercy. It felt much harder than the old days. Maybe I really have fallen a bit away from His love. But I believe if I continue to meditate on His word, I will be more convinced that I am the one that He loves. And this faith is going to make His love more real and tangible in my life. I have had enough of my dull spiritual life. I must feel the love of my Lord or I die.

Love

Mike
