Another rapid flow of days, landed in Singapore on Wednesday, ministered Thursday, Friday, Saturday plus all night. Just rested today (Sunday) and looking forward to the leaders’ training session on Monday night. Had an interesting encounter on Thursday night and Friday night in the early hours of the morning in regard to the spiritual forces at work in Asian regions.
The all night prayer on Saturday night was another wonderful time; lots of spiritual acitivities and always have a wonderful breakthrough towards the end of the prayer in the morning. It set me thinking about the spiritual wrestlings that Paul must have experienced when he wrote Ephesians 6:12. Paul speaks of fighting beasts in Ephesus, an interesting analogy which can refer to men or spiritual realm (1 Corinthians 15:32). Much of what takes place in the physical realm is the result of the activities in the invisible spiritual realm (Hebrews 11:3). Throughout the 40 day fast and also after, there has been so much things happening that I could hardly keep up. Firstly, there were the angelic hosts who were getting ready for the next wave of blessing, then there were more personal encounters of future event revelations that were shown, also there was the angelic encounter speaking of something that he was about to do in certain areas that were prayed before God, then there was the spiritual wrestling in Asia of spiritual forces. Wow, this makes physical life so tame in comparison to the activities taking place in the heavenlies. I guess we will see the results of these acitivites in a short time to come. Although Jesus has conquered all and in Him rests all authority, we are to exercise our authority delegated from Him. The believers in every nation of the world must exercised their God-given authority to prevail in the spiritual. the warfare is NEVER in the natural, only in the spiritual. Sometimes, it is just a matter of holding fast to the authority and power of God like Moses holding forth his rod. One has to hold it high until the enemy is defeated (Exodus 17:8-16)
Papa God, we continue to hold the authority of Christ high over the spiritual realms in which we live, especially over all our loved ones, friends and partners in the ministry, students and members of Your body in Jesus Name. Amen. Release the flow of divine authority over each life In Jesus Name.
I just completed reading your biography.Thank you for taking the time to write it. My eyes have been opened to the meaning of following the call of God. I had read some of your writings, but knowing you better makes me want to re-read them and apply them diligently & consistently.Thanx for being obedient to God.

Hello Pastor Peter!;)
Since it is not always easy to get the latest messages from your various speaking engagements because of whatever reason (I’m always on the lookout for new releases from Singapore or Sydney), it is always GOOD to know that you often blog and that way I can get “fresh news”. I don’t mean to “praise” your ministry, but the “news” I get from your ministry is much better than CNN or Fox News, or BBC. Smith Wigglesworth once responded to a question by somebody if he believed or not in reading the newspapers, and he replied, “well, I do read the headlines and a little more from time to time, but why would I want to get part of the news, when I can get whole truth the news in the Bible”?
Many questions I have concerning too many things. In one of your recent messages you say that it is good to have a exploring spirit in us, well, I certainly have that, maybe too much of it, but that’s me. I won’t write to you through my regular e-mail since I see it takes time from your busy schedule and I don’t want to cause strain in that area. You have hundreds of spiritual kids and many of us misbehave:), so that does not help any.
I have several points which might, perhaps, help others reading this blog. Again, this is in an effort to avoid sending e-mails and exposing my questions there.
My points are these:
I am quite carnal but also have flashes of God’s spirit in me and I already exposed to you that, in my very soulish limited style, I believe your vision of the island is the country of the “star-spangled banner”. If the world currently follows “this country’s” system of trade and way of doing business in the world. I will “country” give my humble allegory about it. If the vision is true and accurate, concerning the “sinking islands”, then the mechanics might be in the following way. Doing world business is like this:
The whole world could be like a “Trycicle”. If the vision is accurate, then 2010 will witness the “Trycicle” lose its front wheel and that will certainly create havoc in the current financial system.
Once this happens, China/Japan (mainly) and Europe will come up with a solution to “re-organize” the whole system. Once they finish they will come up with a new version of the old-tired Trycicle, a “Kick-scooter” with the remaining 2 wheels of the old “Trycicle” because the main “wheel” fell off.
These new “financial vehicle”, in my allegory, would function much more smoother than the old “Trycicle” and that way Asia and Europe will usher in the super bonanza you talk about from 2011-2016 circa.
I can’t deny that I’m a bit scared because we currently don’t own a home (we rent) and we live (in Los Cabos) mainly from tourism and if tourism plunges, then I wonder what we could do. I’ll have to pray MUCH to survive and have the wisdom to thrive in the coming aweful crunch. I love challenges, but this one certainly takes the cake:)

ps. I loved your church-camp 2009 seminars where you teach them how to interpret in tongues, I’m currently practicing this. Also LOVED your “relationship” seminars, SO INTERESTING. You REALLY challenge us Pastor Tan.
