For so long, the churches in Indonesia place their Christian center on the churches in America, so it is not surprising that many churches in Indonesia perform the same things on the stage. Such as the multimedia display with music concerts standard, preachers with celebrity looks, and ‘demonstrations of anointing’ that amaze the congregation. There is nothing wrong with that, for it aims to provide the best service for those attending.
The problem is if it becomes the standard of success of a ministry. As a result, the “small” churches that has no “capital” to provide, started trying in various ways. The leaders often feel small and insecure when they meet with ‘pastors’ of large churches and large congregations.
I found many churches are sick because they do not have a true pattern of growth!
1. I feel and am very sure, God is also moving in small churches to direct them to be connected with the church that has been built accurately according to heaven’s pattern.
The Spirit will encourage them to start pursuing God’s heart so that in God’s way, they will meet the man of the movement who carries divine patterns!
2. This morning I heard in my spiritual ears that there were many voices from remote areas crying out before God.
It was as if I heard God’s heart saying: “I heard their prayer and immediately answer and move for them. I will cause an explosion of revival there!”
3. I feel that God is weighing spiritual leaders.
Those who are found to be too ‘light’ (continuing to bring in the worldly mix) will be terminated by God’s own hand!
4. God is continuing to roll out the movement of believers, where God will use them to demonstrate miracles.
It’s no longer ‘powerful’ priests, but the ‘powerful’ congregation that God is raising to reveal the reality of the Kingdom of Heaven!
5. Connectedness with God’s reality will be the main thing, and God’s presence will be a very principle and crucial.
The Spirit will work powerfully so that God is felt and becomes so real in services and daily life. Hence, various non-essential things will be left behind casually! All hearts will be focused only on the reality of God’s presence. This is the essence of true Christianity, which is connectedness with God!

Therefore, how important it is for us to pay attention to the connectedness to the leader of the movement that God has ordained: 1. Make sure that we become a consistent person that rubs the Word we received from the leader of movement into our spirit and mind. Never get tired to say the Word,…
Obviously, we all believe that God is able to heal all kinds of diseases. But not all ‘believers’, in fact, want to persevere and truly believe in what they say they believe. If there are ‘alternative’ healings, why not use them? Moreover, after praying and it turns out that the disease does not go away….
Exodus 3:1 (NKJV) Now Moses was tending the flock of Jethro his father-in-law, the priest of Midian. And he led the flock to the back of the desert, and came to Horeb, the mountain of God. One verse above has many very deep meanings. Moses was constantly busy ‘feeding the flocks of his father-in-law, Jethro’….
Again the Holy Spirit affirms in my heart that basically in every man’s life there is always a need of God or God’s factor that makes man always have the need of God in his life (Genesis 2:7). No matter how successful, prosperous or wealthy a man is, if he is not connected with the…
Life is always stronger than death, just as light where there is light darkness must be removed. But the problem is that so far “our belief” has always exaggerated ‘powerless death’. As a result, there are many deadly works that undermine our lives because of ‘our wrong beliefs’. Remember, death has never won against FAITH!…
In a meeting, suddenly my spirit was gripped by the reality of God. Then I started to see a vision like a movie playing with a fairly wide screen in front of me. I saw there was a very great battle. Bomb after bomb was launched into the air. The soldiers were running and attacking…
