Ephesians 2:19-22 (NKJV): Now, therefore, you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God, having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being the chief cornerstone, in whom the whole building, being fitted together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord, in whom you also are being built together for a dwelling place of God in the Spirit.

Only the prayers of the people in Malaysia can deliver their land

May the Lord bless you all for your faithful service

I am writing to request that during the koiros time, prayers for our nation or national issues be prayed with fervency.

I have included an excellent prophetic revelation which I feel is the actual state of condition of our nation and our churches....
The Intercessors at the 24/7 Prayer House in Kenya have been fasting and praying for Malaysia since the 5 January 2010 for 40 days. There was a very, very strong burden for Malaysia and during their intercession there was much weeping and crying out for this nation.

The following is the message they received from the Lord for Malaysia:

Malaysia is at a very important crossroads. The Lord says that He has been so faithful to the nation of Malaysia. He has protected Malaysia in 3 areas:
  • The principalities over Malaysia have tried to cause racial dissension. Feelings were stirred in the hearts of the people to rise up for destruction but because of God's grace. He has prevented this destruction from happening.
  • God has protected Malaysia from natural calamities when the surrounding regions have been hit by such disasters.
  • God has protected the church. Seeing that you are in a Muslim land, the church has a high measure of freedom thus far. Many times the enemy has tried to come up close in on the church but God has not permitted it.

God's faithfulness and favor towards Malaysia is not because the church has been praying. In fact, The church in Malaysia has entered into a comfort zone. The church is so contented and so comfortable and in slumber. There is prayerlessness in the church and she is not carrying the burden that God has for the "cousins" in the land. Most of the prayers that take place in the churches are personal prayers but not a burden for the nation and the lost.

Warning from the Lord
  • The veil of protection over Malaysia is slowly giving way over this land.
  • The heavens over Malaysia have already begun to close.
  • The burning of the churches is but a top of the ice-berg of what the enemy is wanting to do over this nation.
  • There is a looming judgment waiting to take place over this land if intercessors do not arise.
 Teaching on Abraham pleading for Sodom & Gomorrah by Ps Julius Suubi
Abraham prayed for Sodom & Gomorrah but his prayers could not deliver the cities. His prayer alone could not prevent the judgment of God upon the cities. Abraham was not living in Sodom & Gomorrah. The people of the land themselves need to arise to intercede for their own land. Unfortunately, there was no one in the land who took up the burden to pray for their cities and the cities were destroyed.

Application to Malaysia:
  • Only the prayers of the people in Malaysia can deliver their land. This burden has to be taken up by the Malaysian themselves. 
  • They have to arise to pray for their land, cry out to God, influence the people and to tell them that the nation is at the important crossroads. Tell the people that the next 5 years is so very important. 
  • They either arise to a very, very powerful revival or slide in the other way. God's will is for Malaysia to rise up to her destiny (being a "Rainbow Nation") and for a great revival to sweep through this land. 
  • Our brothers from other nations are just here to help us "PUSH". They are like "midwives" to help the Malaysian Church push until they see the baby born (the destiny of Malaysia). 
  • The Malaysian Church has to pray and intercede to open the heavens. The enemy will try to hinder our prayers but we must persevere and pray until we see the revival.

Thanks and God bless.
Paster Lawrence.

Sex Makes You Stupid

by Mark Gungor on December 2nd, 2009


It never ceases to amaze me how many times I get asked by people (usually, but not always, women) what they should do when the person they are dating is treating them poorly. And by poorly I do not mean that he was 10 minutes late coming to pick the girl up or he forgot what her favorite flower was. By poorly I mean guys who call these women names and talk to them in degrading ways, guys who look at porn, stay out all night with other women doing exactly what you think they’re doing, and on and on. Unbelievably, this is while they are dating! You know, the time when the dude is actually trying to win the woman; when he is supposed to be putting his best foot forward!

Honestly, I just don’t understand it. For the life of me I can’t imagine why a person would continue to date someone who treats them like dirt and with little to no respect. Is this really how they want to spend the rest of their lives? The fantasy world these women live in tells them that “he’ll change,” but the reality is, it only goes downhill from here! Generally, when I’m presented with this kind of scenario, I immediately ask one question: Are you having sex with him? And the answer is almost always: yes.

I finally came to this simple conclusion: sex makes you stupid. It really does. Having sex outside of marriage clouds your vision. People can’t see clearly and aren’t able to make a wise decision to save their souls. The potent spell of sex causes women (and some men) to tolerate and allow the most outrageous behaviors, continue the relationship into marriage, and then come to me a year, two or three into the deal and want me to unscramble the eggs. When I ask the obvious question, “Didn’t you see this before you got married?” they almost without fail say, “Yeah, but I thought it would be different when we got married.” It will be different, alright… it will be worse!

Becoming sexually involved with someone outside of marriage is a bad idea for many reasons. First and foremost a reason that not too many people, even Christians, actually consider is: because God said so! And when God says so, you think that would be good enough since the Almighty Maker of the Universe pretty much knows what he’s doing. If He says, “No,” it’s for good reason. God created sex and He also knows the power of it, and He knows that it will make you stupid! Stupid outside of marriage, but within the marriage covenant is another story.

This same phenomenon that makes men and women dumber than bricks when it comes to making the right decisions in premarital or extra-marital relationships, has extreme power when the sex is according to God’s plan. The very same idea that “sex clouds your vision” is wonderful and necessary in marriage. God has created sex to have this kind of effect so we can forget and overlook the faults and missteps, the offenses and transgression and forgive our spouse. It’s like a drug you can get a hit of that gives you selective amnesia. It’s also another reason why married people need to be having regular sex… so they can get a little clouded vision to overlook the everyday annoyances like toilet seats and toothpaste caps and sometimes the way bigger things that need to be forgiven. We should be “dumb” to those kinds of things.

The Bible tells us that love covers a multitude of sins. God has given us the gift of sex, one of the very things that will aid and enable us to walk out this kind of love. But it only works to our benefit if the sex is in the context of marriage. Kind of like the analogy of fire only being a good thing when it’s contained in a fireplace. God made sex to be the single most powerful force to bring a husband and wife together and to keep them together. But it has to be in marriage or it is the equivalent of taking the fire and putting it on the living room floor. No more warmth and benefit, just a disastrous inferno.

So it is with this wonderful, God-created phenomenon of sex. While husbands and wives benefit greatly from the “cloudy vision” of sex in marriage, we should not be allowing this “sex-brain” to impact us outside of marriage — where people are definitely making decisions under the influence of stupid.
