What Happened At Bethel Church?



Just walking through the simple fence surrounding the church and standing at the doorstep, I could sensed something in the air. A familiar pleasant feeling that I always feel whenever I stepped foot into Haleluyah Church at Mount Murud. It is the sense of heaviness, power and many other things that I could not explained.

Seeing the sight before me, I was merely not ready for what happened next. I took my camera and began to work my way taking the best angle shot as many as possible.

And next, without warning - the heaviness of the presence that I have felt earlier began to burst - Just like a flowing water, gushing fiercely through me as I watched the simple act of washing each others feet in a sheer humbleness.

Capturing those moment, tender face, and tender act of the leaders and elderly intercessors washing those feet through my lenses, enough to envision Jesus when He, the Son of the King of Kings did that symbolic act thousand years ago.

And I wept.



I dare not to think if I were in those disciple's shoes those days. The tender face of Jesus, sitting at my feet washing my feet. The feelings I had was - unexplainable. One thing for sure, I know that I was unworthy, but His grace was more than enough for me.

And what follows next, I sensed the pure joy and warm presence of the Holy Spirit, gushing through us and around us in the room like wind. It was a beautiful, beautiful feeling - when you were embraced in the presence of the Holy Spirit.




And that night, I had a dream.

I saw myself after taking a shower, and that in my hand I was holding a scrub/brush. Next, I saw this Johnson Baby Shower Cream next to me and I was washing my feet using the brush/scrub and the baby shower cream! What a pure delight!

And later, I saw myself walking down the street and as I stopped at one shop, in my hand I saw myself holding a pair of baby shoes which was made of a very fine quality, expensive price and very beautiful.

And I woke up.

---------------------------------------

This is one of the most profound moment (again) that I experienced whenever I attended such meeting. Be it at Mount Murud, be it at Ba Kelalan, God always moves in different way and many times - Unexpected and Unexplainable.

And that makes it beautiful and always, brings me from one level to another level of intimacy with Him.

I am blessed.

God Encounter

This is the very first time in my life that I ever had such deep encounter with God, the feeling is just almost face to face. I really feel the revival of God’s fire in my heart, and looking forward to participate in the coming meeting at Mt Murud.

With grace of God Almighty, He finally granted me to arrive in His chosen Holy Land. A place which I believe takes the role of Jerusalem, an alternative where upon every believer can come to have a personal relationship with God.

I couldn’t begin with any word better than “Thank you” for the warm friendly and generous love, care and family like hospitality that pour again and again each day during my stay (4days). Special thanks go to the family of Bapa Taga l and the people who directly or indirectly make this annual event possible. ‘Syabas’ keep up the good work.

I believe our Christian journey has been so blessed and gifted. Indeed God is generous and patient; we continue to have strong faith and courage. It is our duty to go out to preach His good news to the rest of the world regardless of using any method or ways to reach out. More people should have the privilege to come experience God’s presence in Ba Kelalan. Halleluyah !

For the footnote: more English worship songs is a plus.

Overall : Job well done

Appreciation : Big thanks to organizing committee, volunteers and helps.

Perjalananan dari Miri ke Lawas dan Lawas ke Ba Kelalan adalah satu perjalanan yang begitu jauh an harus mengharungi keadaan jalan yang bagitu mencabar terutama di kawasan yang menuju ke Buduk Nur. Namun oleh kerana kerinduan dan kepercayaan pada Hadirat Allah ada di Buduk Nur maka semua itu tidak mematahkan semangat untuk sampai ke KKR 2010.

Sesungguhnya kesukaran yang kami tempuh di jalan bermakna apa-apapun kerana sebaik saja masuk ke gereja pada malam pertama KKR, sudah terasa hadirat Allah. Saya melihat Yesus sedang duduk di takthaNya, dengan makhota di kepalaNya. TakhtaNya betul-betul di atas pentas gereja, lantas hati saya mengatakan “Allah ada di sini”.

Sepanjang kebaktian yang diadakan, sungguh saya diberkati dan yang paling indah sekali ialah persekutuan doa di gereja Bethel. Hadirat Allah sungguh nyata sekali terasa di situ. Ada penglihatan, ada firman Tuhan disampaikan melalui bahasa Roh, sungguh indah sekali.

Kalau diceritakan satu persatu berkat, pengalaman pekerjaan Roh Kudus, ucapan Allah, aliran sungai dari Allah dan lawatan Tuhan saat pujian dan penyembahan dan firman Tuhan disampaikan memang begitu banyak. Hanya satu perkara yang saya dapat katakana mengenai kesemua keajaiban itu ialah, “Tak rugi saya dating ke KKR ini, walau harus menempuhi kesukaran di jalanraya dan perjalanan yang jauh namun semua terpadam oleh berkat, rahmat, sukacita serta urapan Allah yang dialami dalam KKR PDGM 2010. Halleluyah. Misi seterusnya ialah ke Gunung Murud untuk mendapatkan urapan baru dari Tuhan pada 2011. Halleluyah.

Saya yang amat diberkati Tuhan,

Testimony from 2010 Revival meeting

Praise God for another wonderful revival meeting. I am very blessed and touched by the Holy Spirit and the love of the Ba Kelalan people. I could not help but weep uncontrollably when I saw the elderly and senior respected Lun Bawang people washing the feet of the younger people from their community and thereafter to us from outside their community. I cried and cried when the Holy Spirit revealed to me that Christ was washing my feet through this Lun Bawang man.

Thank you so much for a great spiritual experience in the Lord.

It is good to be in Ba Kelalan. I came into this place parched. I had lost sight of Him and was cracking because of dryness. In this place, the Holy Sspirit rain falls frequently, like the valley rains upon the croplands. From the first day, I had felt the Holy Spirit rain upon me, just as I felt the mountain rain pelting upon my skin. The Holy Spirit rain refreshed me, washed me again, like someone who had long needed a bath. Praise the Lord forevermore.

Testimonies from 2010 Revival Meeting

This is my first time in Ba Kelalan. The presence of God dwells here indeed. Even as we prayed the night before making our journey here, I saw a vision of angels lining up on both sides of the road leading here and praise God. Our prayers were answered and it was bright and sunny when we made our way. On the first night as we were worshipping God, I saw a string inside a hole. I got the interpretation that it is the heart-string of God. Only if we seek Him will we find and know what pulls the heartstring of God. In the second session, I could feel the fire of God burning. It was as if I was getting burned alive. God’s presence is so tangible here. Again, I received a revelation, we are the children of God, and we have the authority. Then I got the impression of the vision I got the night before, but this time with an arrow shooting from the heartstring of God. While I was having the revelation, I really could feel the power of God upon us. Indeed we are the army of God. And as His army we need to PRAY and keep marching forth. Not only pray but GO FORTH. He said that the journey ahead will be hard and we need to draw strength from Him and Him alone if we want to see revival in Malaysia. The next 2 days were more personal for me. I came here seeking God’s will in my life and I believe God has opened doors for me here to meet people that touched my life.

Another Encounter

July for us in Ba Kelalan is the time to prepare seedling (semaian) when we scatter seeds and then the padi seeds will be replanted in a month's time. Harvest will be in December thru February. It is therefore no coincidence when the Spirit of God spoke to the prophets in Ba Kelalan many years ago about the annual Revival meeting which is in July of every year.

This is a time of fresh encounter, a new beginning, like the dead padi seeds giving new life and results in abundant harvest. Our heart condition determines what we get. Every year we hear of incredible stories of what happened to individual lives when they return from this annual Revival meeting.

Personally I have witnessed little food multiplied, angels singing and other miracles. Believe me, the Spirit of God has never stopped work, what He did yesterday, He does today and tomorrow.

When the women scatter the seeds into the earth they never doubt that the seeds will come forth with new life.
