"And so we know and rely on the love God has for us." 1 John 4:16
I went home on 10 July 2007, wanting to catch dinner with my mother before heading to TCT for Summer Camp briefing. For some reason, my mother was constantly on the phone and I could not seem to get some time catching up with her. Sitting alone in front of the TV, all I could do was pray and proclaim blessings in my parents' house. I also prayed that the Lord would intervene and cut short her phone calls so I could speak with her.
The time grew near to 7pm, when I should be setting off to TCT. As I proceeded to my mum's room, I found her just off the phone, and she greeted me saying "Sit down, I want to talk with you!"
I did, and the next thing I know, she was sharing about her eczema healing and tennis elbow pain decreasing due to the "chanting" she does every night. Immediately, I asked "What chanting?" She answered "Oh, the prayer you taught me to pray 1 month ago? I would recite it over and over every night. I asked Jesus to heal my pain..."
Wow.. my Mum should be the warrior man! Not the receiver! Anyways, she immediately proceeded with "Oh, I need one more miracle - help me pray and ask Jesus to heal me, so that I don't need to go for surgery in November!"
"Sure, I answered." And started writing down the details on her surgery to pray against it. As my mother shared, she started telling me "You know, pray to Jesus much better. Your eldest aunt gave me this tailsman to burn and drink... Yucks.. I didn't.. I've been keeping them in the drawer." Shaken, I said to my mother "Oh, you want me to get rid of them for you?" My mother said "Yes, you take and burn them lah.... "
The next thing I know, I was getting rid of 50 to 60 over tailsman (Yes... the kind you see on TV? Yellow colour paper with red brush inks words...) I was denouncing and cutting off every curse/ blessing and source of it, and neutralising it's power with the Blood of Christ.
Point is, I was so blew away by God's work in my mother's life. Not just her faith in the prayers, but also, her eagerness to get rid of the tailsman. I am so thankful that over 60 tailsman was given to her, and she trusted none of it! Wow! This is the time! The time of mighty visitation of the Holy Spirit!
Revival is really here!!!
P.S: Do pray with me for my mother k? Thanks!

Looking Far - Proclaiming your Way to Victory
"Your sons will take the place of your Fathers; you will make them Princes throughout the land. I will perpetuate your memory throughout all generations; therefore the nations will praise you forever and ever." Psalm 45:16-17
This was the verse the Lord had given my husband and myself, 6 months before we wedded on 11 Nov 2006. It speaks of the promise of the Lord to us that:
In May 2007, a checkup with a Gynae in Mount Elizabeth revealed bad news for me, as the doctor uncovered a 5cm big cyst in my left ovary. Worse, he could not determine if it were malignant. Blood was drawn and sent for testing to determine if it was possibly cancerous.
Shaken by the news, my husband and I went home, and started sending out SOS messages to the family of God, to get them to pray. Honestly, the full impact of the news had not hit us yet, and we weren't quite sure how to respond to a news like this. "Is this the will of God？What is it You are doing, Lord?"
Night after night, we pondered as we sought the Lord. We prayed "Lord, if this is Your will, we surrender to You and trust that Your Glory will be shown through this. We trust You. You are too wise and good to us, Lord, we owe our lives to you in the first place...You can do as You please with it..." Tears, intercession poured through our hearts. It was painful, but with every prayer, there was more peace and more release.
Then came one night, 2 weeks after the checkup with the gynae, when my heart broke in the times of prayer. I sensed the Lord asking "What do you want, Joyce?" and in uncontrollable sobbing, I cried "Father, I want to have children!"
At that point, both my husband and I hugged together, and with the power of the cross, proclaimed Psalm 45:16-17 "Lord, You said, we will have Sons!" I felt strength reviving my bones and my heart. I felt Faith arising.
The process of surrendering brought me to the end of myself and led me to tapped on the Lord's power available on the cross. I found amazing strength to pray and proclaim His word in my life. I started to be able to envision a report that says "No cancer". I started to vision myself lying on the examination table, looking at the 3D scan screen, and seeing my left ovary cleared, with the cyst gone. I also visioned the cyst breaking and removed from my body.
Every vision, was translated into proclaimation, which tapped on the power of the Cross. I was moving something into being - from the supernatural, into the natural!
On 9 July 2007, I returned back to the Gynae for the checkup. Coolly, the doctor reported "Good news, the cyst is gone. Your ovaries and womb are all cleared. Also, the report is good. Everything is normal, no cancer. If you are planning to start to have children, there should be no problem. Just give my assistant a call when you are pregnant so that I can see you."
"Hallelujah! I've been praying!"I shouted. Both my husband and I nearly tearing as we were so touched by the work of the Lord.

This is the season of looking far in the Vision, as well as the Season of the 100K blessings and miracles. The Lord had been preparing me and my husband, such that we learnt to:

- Surrender in Obedience (Come to the end of ourselves, tap on power of Cross)
- Vision in God's Paradigm (Literally seeing it in our minds)
- Proclaim the Vision into Being (With persistent, daily prayers)

My 1st 100K blessing!
"It is more blessed to give, than to receive" Acts 20:35
On 8 July 2007, day 1 of the 100K blessing, I hopped onto the cab from Expo to my mother's place after service. The Lord opened the door, and I found the chance to speak with the driver on the 100K blessing.
" 免费的吗？这样好啊？" (Is it free? So good?) Was his first response. "我拜观音的，可以吗？" (I worship idols, can receive the blessing?)Was his second response. "你跟你的神讲我是Ｕｎｃｌｅ 蔡，驾ｔａｘｉ ｎｕｍｂｅｒ ＳＨＡ ＸＸＸＸ，不然他不懂我是谁。” (You must tell your God I am Uncle Cai that drives taxi number SHA XXXX, if not He doesn't know which Uncle Cai) Was his third response. "我如果晚上开始睡得好我会再打电话给你，叫你帮我祷告别的东西." (If your prayer works and I start to sleep better at night, I will call you and ask you to pray for other things in my life) Was his final response.
Well, my take away from this, was that this man had more faith in my God than I had! He was already pulling strings for his 2nd miracle. Also, he was more determined to give me specific information so that God knows which "Uncle Cai" I was talking about.
God, you are so amazing!!! I am now sooooo excited to bless people!!!
