While praying for our Zone Ministry on 02 July 2017, I had a mental picture of a cornfield. Some of the corn (maize) plants were fallen on the ground while others were still standing. It seemed that a heavy storm had just passed and gave rise to the devastated scene. As I later pondered, it came to my mind that those corn plants that collapsed were those with shallow roots, while the standing ones must had been held up by deeper roots.

Immediately, a statement Pastor Steven made in a previous week’s message suddenly sprang up – “ We should not just grow big (referring to the church) but grow deep”. Wow! What an alignment!

Later I did some reading up on the corn plant and came across an interesting fact in one article. The article says that corn plants are subjected to a condition called drought stress, which is a condition where the soil surface dries first and deeper soils hold moisture longer. Corn plants that have shallow roots may experience drought stress earlier than those with deeper roots. Drought stress gave rise to sub-quality crops and low yield.

It dawns on me that the season of the end times is like a season of drought stress, where the top layer of soil surface dries up (probably a season where the Word of the Lord becomes scarce (Amos 8:11), those with shallow roots will not be fruitful and may fall when a storm strikes!

Only those with deep roots will continue to draw the resources of God and stand tall at a time of tribulations and persecutions.

MyTrip to Israel

By Bro Owen The Divine Mandate

The Divine Mandate by Bro Sadhu as extracted below was the single most compelling reason that eventually led us to confirming the trip to Israel.

“2017, is the year of the "70" – a turning around year. A turning around for prophetic events— specially prophesied by Zechariah will begin to take place in Israel from 2017 onwards. A turning around for the captivity of Israel and the dividing of Jerusalem. 2017, may probably be the last year we may see Jerusalem and Israel undivided!

Join us in Israel for such a time as this before Israel experiences the beginnings of sorrows and the desolation of the abominations.

As believers from different nations gather in Jerusalem, I believe we can play our part in what the Lord wants to do in His land.

At this conference you will be taught the ways of God like never before in our previous conferences. God's chosen prophets will be the choice speakers at this conference. The word of the Lord came to me for this Conference: A significant change and shifting in government and in the land is coming.

There will also be special services for children, for the anointing that will be come upon them will cause them to prevail and enter into their inheritance in these last days.

Your life will never be the same again as you will experience a supernatural encounter with the Living God of Israel. The Lord our God wants you at His appointed place. He wants to meet you there. Are you willing?” - Open Heavens Prophetic Conference, Sadhu Sundar Selveraj

Concerns Of Loved Ones

Many of my family members and friends were worried about our safety in traveling to Israel. But once the decision was made, there was no turning back. Having spoken to the locals while there, and in comparison with the online news we read before the trip, I was able to see how much the media news can distort and exaggerate – the media reports about Israel were made with skewed narratives. Realizing this, I felt completely at ease from the time I arrived at the airport until the time I left. Therefore, don’t let unfounded fears rob you of a great opportunity to see the places where Jesus walked and let the Holy Spirit grow your faith!

Egypt & Israel Conference In Egypt we prayer-walked around the Sinai Peninsula exactly in the manner God led the

Israelites until they gathered at Mount Sinai to meet with Him. We had a conference in Cairo to study Egypt's end-time role and even visited the Pyramid. We then gathered at the foothills of Mount Sinai for a 3-days conference, had a glorious time worshiping God with powerful encounters of deliverance as we interceded for our fellow Christians in the Middle East. During one such prayer session, under the instruction of Pastor Steven Francis, we even ventured into the depths of hell to set the captives free. Hallelujah!

After that we ascended Mount Sinai. Embarking on this journey during the pre-dawn hours, we eventually reached the summit in the late morning where we gathered for a time of worship, prayer and rededication at Elijah's Basin where many of us had personal God-encounters. It was mid-afternoon when we eventually returned to the hotel, physically exhausted and hungry, but spiritually filled. Following this, we travelled to Jerusalem by land via the Taba border. We took turns praying during the journey for God's protection, providence and mercy journey for the Coptic Christians as this was to be the second exodus route that would be taken during the End times persecution.

We gathered in Israel for another 6day conference. During the conference, we found ourselves having to crucify our flesh and reconsecrate our physical faculties to be used by God. We were

challenged by Bro Sadhu not to even touch our mobile phones throughout the entire duration we were there.

We were glad that the children were not left out as they had their own prayer and dedication services where many testified their eyes were opened and they would see visions afterwards, many encountered Chariots of fire as they worshiped and prayed. We also visited Mount Carmel, where God graciously lavished on His people many Spiritual gifts. While there, we re-established the old altar setup by the Elijah. We also prayed for the fulfilment of Malachi 4:5-6.

Discovering The Land Where Prophecy And History Converge In the Christian gospels, the ministry of Jesus begins with His baptism in the countryside of Roman Judea and Transjordan, near the river Jordan and ends in Jerusalem, following the Last Supper with his disciples. The Gospel of Luke (3:23) states that Jesus was "about 30 years of age" at the start of his ministry and He came with the purpose to preach and to save. Mark 1:35-39 The Bible alone provides accurate information about the course and destiny of this planet. With our Bibles in hand, we will see with our own eyes how prophecy is being lived out in Israel today.

Our four-day tour explored the Life and times of Jesus in Israel, the Holy Land. We travelled on a journey where Jesus performed many miracles, in the Galilee and in Capernaum – referred as Jesus “own town” in the Bible. During this amazing tour we sailed on the Sea of Galilee, visited the Mediterranean coast and the Valley of Armageddon, Mt. Carmel, Megiddo, the birthplace of Jesus at Nazareth. We focused on Jesus’ early Ministry; Jordan River, Mount of Beatitudes, Tabgha, Capernaum. Then continued to the Dead Sea, Masada, Ein Gedi, Qumran, and the Judean Desert, from here the crown jewel of Jerusalem; Old Jerusalem, Temple Mount in Jesus times, Mount of Olives, Kidron Valley, Garden of Gethsemane, Western Wall tunnels (Hezekiah Tunnels), Pool of Bethesda, Mt. Zion, Upper Room, King David Tomb, Jewish Quarter, Ein Kerem, Bethlehem, Church of the Nativity and Garden Tomb.

Israel was simply the best trip of my life, but how do I expand on that statement? Words cannot

adequately convey some truths in life! Israel is such a unique place you too will find yourself impacted and changed in ways you cannot express. I am deeply grateful to our wonderful tour guides in Egypt and Israel for their excellent knowledge and delivery – it was a privilege to listen and learn about this part of the world where God worked so profoundly and it’s application in my life. I felt stretched and challenged in so many ways and I know the experience will ripple through me forever.

Conclusion

If you have yet to visit Israel, I passionately urge you to do so before the "window" ceases to exist. As disciples of Jesus, what could be more fulfilling than to be able to co-labour with Him, together with 51 other nations interceding for His nation and the End Time events that are close to God's heart. To be able to explore the land where Jesus grew up in and experience the diverse and rich culture, to see first hand how Jews, Arabs and Palestinians are coexisting harmoniously contrary to what we see or hear in the media continues to astound me. The Israel experience has given me a new perspective whenever I read the Bible and I see things through new "lens". I thank God for making this trip possible for my family and I - All praise and glory be to God!

Jeremiah 17:7,8 further describes that for a tree to remain green and be fruitful, it has to “send

out” or “stretch” its roots by the stream. The visible outward freshness and fruitfulness of the tree depends on the invisible activity under the soil – the stretching and deepening of the roots into the source of moisture and nutrients. It is definitely great to be busy serving in the ministry of a church, it is great to attend conferences and prophetic meetings, but the bottom line is still those quiet moments spent with God and His Word that matters, as they will deepen our roots in Him! Dear brothers and sisters, we are entering a season of Growing Deep! Shallowness is dangerous and undesired. Psalms 51:6 says that God “delights in truth in the inward being, and teach wisdom in the secret heart”. God is interested in the unseen, the ongoing activities underneath the soil. The external display of freshness and fruitfulness is a result of these growing-deep activities. May God rejuvenate us as we get and grow deep in Him! Amen!

Gathering of the Warriors

By Bro George Ong This

was unlike any other camp I have had gone for, where we had some time for fun and games, while we had a laser focus on God’s view of the family. Pastor Sam Dharam, I supposed, was invited to share on a topic that he had never preached before, and he admitted that it did stretch him yet he was happy to do so.

First off, I really appreciate the person Pastor Sam is. He is funny, authentic and humble. He had many anecdotes while having many solid references from the Word of God. It was very engaging and encouraging. What more can I ask from a preacher?

Pastor Sam was tasked to speak about families and how we need to ‘do’ families.

He set the foundation by defining what a family is, then he went on to share about the adversary’s assault on the family, firstly on the men, and then on the children.

Being a student at College of Prophets, Pastor Sam’s teachings paired easily with Jim George’s “A Man After God’s Own Heart”. He essentially reinforced what was written by author Jim George about family, and addressed specific issues for our time and culture.

Everything, and I mean everything, he brought up and spoke about resonated deeply in my heart. He illustrated the assault and gave very clear pointers as to how and where the adversary had encroached into our territory.

When Pastor Sam spoke on the assault on the children, I felt indignant that we have allowed our children to be subject to such forces. And while we can previously plead ignorance to such a situation, Pastor Sam has but sounded a clarion call for all heads of households to reclaim back their responsibilities and territory. With renewed vigour and urgency, let us take up our roles as fathers and men of society to work out our salvation in trembling and fear of God. Thank you pastor Sam and wife for their presence at the Jesus My King’s Gathering of the Warrior’s Camp. I hope to hear him teach again.
