Dear Praying Friend,

Please take another look at the 1979 Workers’ Conference Photo again below: they said, “A picture speaks a thousand words”.

Indeed! There are many stories coming alive from memory past

One of them was the June Camp 1979 we happened to be the speaker also : since Rev Dr Peter Ng was away in USA to promote the Upcoming World Congress of Fundamentalists (Spore) 1980

We spoke in 3 Camps: 1. BHS JSM CAMP. 2. PK JSM CAMP & 3. CRAIG ROAD JSM CAMP

There was a Special Divine Power in the Craig Road Jsm Camp (circa 1979)

Many many blessed memories! But look at the Sister in Red Blouse (Standing 3rd row almost in the Center is Sister Patricia Aw

Why mention her?

Here is the story

In June 1979 Sister Patricia was called in a very spectacular way when the Holy Spirit moved mightily in her

The Consecration Message was: “THE FIRE OF GOD, called down by Prophet Elijah

1 King 18:

³⁰ And Elijah said unto all the people, Come near unto me. And all the people came near unto him. And he repaired the altar of the Lord that was broken down.

³¹ And Elijah took twelve stones, according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Jacob, unto whom the word of the Lord came, saying, Israel shall be thy name:

³² And with the stones he built an altar in the name of the Lord: and he made a trench about the altar, as great as would contain two measures of seed.

³³ And he put the wood in order, and cut the bullock in pieces, and laid him on the wood, and said, Fill four barrels with water, and pour it on the burnt sacrifice, and on the wood.

³⁴ And he said, Do it the second time. And they did it the second time. And he said, Do it the third time. And they did it the third time.

³⁵ And the water ran round about the altar; and he filled the trench also with water.

³⁶ And it came to pass at the time of the offering of the evening sacrifice, that Elijah the prophet came near, and said, Lord God of Abraham, Isaac, and of Israel, let it be known this day that thou art God in Israel, and that I am thy servant, and that I have done all these things at thy word.

³⁷ Hear me, O Lord, hear me, that this people may know that thou art the Lord God, and that thou hast turned their heart back again.

³⁸ Then the fire of the Lord fell, and consumed the burnt sacrifice, and the wood, and the stones, and the dust, and licked up the water that was in the trench.

³⁹ And when all the people saw it, they fell on their faces: and they said, The Lord, he is the God; the Lord, he is the God.

Elijah first repaired the Altar of the LORD that was broken down

So must we. We must repair to the place of a life of Worship & Prayer.

And then we MUST PREPARE A SACRIFICE. Without a sacrifice on the altar the fire of the LORD cannot fall

Yes, GOD’S FIRE WILL NOT FALL ON AN EMPTY ALTAR!

THERE MUST BE A SACRIFICE ON THE ALTAR! A MUST!

And that sacrifice is a WHOLE BURNT OFFERING

²³ Let them therefore give us two bullocks; and let them choose one bullock for themselves, and cut it in pieces, and lay it on wood, and put no fire under: and I will dress the other bullock, and lay it on wood, and put no fire under:

and the God that answereth by fire, let him be God. And all the people answered and said, It is well spoken.

THAT BULLOCK REPRESENTS OUR BODY, SOUL AND SPIRIT

AND THE FIRE REPRESENTS THE HOLY SPIRIT!

THE HOLY SPIRIT WILL ONLY FALL UPON A WHOLLY CONSECRATED SACRIFICE: AS BOTH THE INWARD ARE OUTWARD ORGANS ARE ALL 100% ON THE ALTAR OF SACRIFICE

SO MUST WE

THIS IS HOW GOD’S SPIRIT WORKS

1. FIRST WE HEAR GOD’S CALL
2.  THEN WE YIELD OUR BODIES TO HIM
3.  WHAT WE YIELD GOD TAKES
4.  WHAT GOD TAKES GOD EMPTIES & FILLS
5.  WHAT GOD FILLS GOD USES

AND OUR VESSELS MUST BE CLEAN. JUST AS WE WILL NOT POUR COOKING OIL INTO DIRTY UTENSIL GOD CANNOT POUR HIS SPIRIT INTO UNCLEAN VESSEL

AND THAT WHOLE BURNT OFFERING IS A TYPE OF ELIJAH

SEE

And Elijah went up to the top of Carmel; and he cast himself down upon the earth, and put his face between his knees,(1 kING 18:42B)

ELIJAH PRAYER POSTURE: AND PUT HIS FACE BETWEEN HIS KNEES (this is a foetal position of an unborn baby

See the definition

THIS PRAYER POSTURE SPEAKS OF UTTER HELPLESSNESS AND IN FULL DEPENDENCE UPON GOD

THAT WAS HOW ELIJAH PRAYED FOR 3 1/2 YEARS AND THEN MORE

READ AGAIN

choose one bullock for themselves, and cut it in pieces, and lay it on wood, and put no fire under

THE BURNT OFFERING IS TO BE CUT INTO PIECES

YES, IT HURTS, IT CUTS INTO OUR DEAREST CHERISHED IDOLS, OUR DREAMS, OUR SELVES AND INTO ALL AREAS TILL THEY ARE IN PIECES

ONLY THEN WITH 100% TOTAL FULL CONSECRATION WILL THE FIRE FALL

AND FALL IT DID

SEE

³⁸ Then the fire of the Lord fell, and consumed the burnt sacrifice, and the wood, and the stones, and the dust, and licked up the water that was in the trench.

³⁹ And when all the people saw it, they fell on their faces: and they said, The Lord, he is the God; the Lord, he is the God.

NOTE:

THE FIRE FELL DOWN FROM ABOVE (NOT WORKED UP BY MEN)

IT CONSUMED THE BURNT SACRIFICE

IT BURNT DOWNWARD: IT CONSUMED THE WOOD

IT CONSUMED THE STONES

IT CONSUMED THE DUST

AND LICKED UP THE WATER IN THE TRENCH!

AS A RESULT THE PEOPLE EXCLAIMED

THE LORD, HE IS THE GOD; THE LORD, HE IS THE GOD

At the end of the message there were two consecrators

One was happily laughing

ONE WAS CRYING AND CRYING AND CRYING NON-STOP

THE ONE WHO CRIED WAS SISTER PATRICIA (SHE WAS UNCONSOLABLE)

And what happened?

The Consecrator who laughed disappeared. Patricia who cried was later called to SOM

Dear Praying friends,

George Mueller’s faith inspired Hudson Taylor, C.T. Studd and the 1859 Irish Revival

He has inspired us to pray like none other due to his life long faith in the “LIVING INVISIBLE GOD” who is SO REAL to all who will believe His Promises and claim them by faith

Tonight we will share a Documentary on George Mueller

Please note: Our focus here on George Mueller himself here. We do not endorse the Charismatic modern wild fire of today

True faith and power is in a “Hidden Life of  Prayer”.

“THE BEGINNING OF ANXIETY  IS THE END OF FAITH, AND THE BEGINNING OF TRUE FAITH IS THE END OF ANXIETY”

— GEORGE MUELLER

King James Bible (Hebrews 11:6)
But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

New American Standard Bible
And without faith it is impossible to please Him, for the one who comes to God must believe that He exists, and that He proves to be One who rewards those who seek Him.

Additional Film on George Mueller

Robber of the Cruel Streets: The Story of George Muller (2006) | Full Movie | Adam Stone

50 years ago we came to know about George Mueller’s faith in the LIVING GOD

And after 50 long years praying and trusting in George Mueller’s God we now know GOD IS STILL THE SAME GOD OF GEORGE MUELLER

HE IS THE SAME

Yesterday, Today, Forever

1 OH, how sweet the glorious message,
Simple faith may claim;
Yesterday, today, forever,
Jesus is the same.
Still He loves to save the sinful,
Heal the sick and lame:
Cheer the mourner, still the tempest,
Glory to His name!

Refrain:
Yesterday, to-day, for ever,
Jesus is the same,
All may change, but Jesus never!
Glory to His name,
Glory to His name,
Glory to His name,
All may change, but Jesus never!
Glory to His name.

2 He who pardoned erring Peter,
Never need’st thou fear;
He that came to faithless Thomas,
All thy doubt will clear.
He who let the loved disciple
On His bosom rest,
Bids thee still, with love as tender,
Lean upon His breast.

3 He who ’mid the raging billows,
Walked upon the sea;
Still can hush our wildest tempest,
As on Galilee.
He who wept and prayed in anguish,
In Gethsemane,
Drinks with us each cup of trembling,
In our agony.

4 As of old He walked to Emmaus,
With them to abide;
So through all life’s way He walketh,
Ever near our side.
Soon again shall we behold Him,
Hasten, Lord, the day!
But ’twill still be “this same Jesus,”
As He went away.

My dear brother & sister in Jesus Christ

Will you go on your knees and dedicate the rest of your days on earth in a life of prayer like George Mueller did?

You will spend your life in sweet communion with Jesus Christ who is with you every day and will be with you all the days of your life on this fleeting earth

Acts 1:11 KJV

which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.

Amen & Amen!

Dear Praying Friends,

And here are the extracts (excerpts) from 1979 Diary as they were written

Excerpts from SOM CLUB 60 Whataspp

above is the 1979 diary i was reading this morning

ok if you guys don’t mind the bad handwritings

these are the entries of that St John Island Camp (in Singapore)

starts on Dec 3, 1979

DECEMBER 3 to 8 1979 JSM ANNUAL WORKERS’ CONFERENCE

Entry for 3 December, 1979

Left for St John island on Dec 3

quite a large group of conferees turned up

wrote a letter of confession to pastor Peter Ng in USA

after that the liberty of God rushed into my soul

joined bro James Tan and bro Tuck Keong in prayer till 2am

Awakened this morning & before message spoke to Sister Rhoda

Spoke on “Fellowship with God”

The Lord gave remarkable unction

A number of people broke down in confession of sins. There were tears

and contrition.

God moved very gently in each heart.

During tonight prayer God told me to help strengthen Isaiah by talking to him

but I did not.

There was very little unction in the message called “The causes of disunity”

in tomorrow’s message.

How I must walk carefully in increasing light.

Whataspp comment from bro Daniel Tan Jee Huay

“Amazing. They are histories in them”

Calvin replied

“yes bro Jee Huay

I disobeyed then and lost the power”

{Please note: these were whataspp conversations in posted in SOM CLUB 60 last year July 2022)

Saw the film

Centerville Awakening

It has great impact upon us

Called Rifle Range young people to pray with the Craig Road sisters

Several broke down under the power of God

Spoke on the “Causes of Disunity” with little power.

Tonight spent more time in confession and heart searching

Also spoke to bro Isaiah.

It was a time of deeper repentance

The people now separated for prayer outside the Mission (Meeting Hall)

Joined the young people in prayer.

Going round all the groups

It was such a blessing

Wonderful art Thou! oh Lord

ok next one got bro Jee Huay

Spoke on “A living Sacrifice” with considerable power.

Many left this afternoon by ferry to the mainland

Had a walk and talked with bro Jee Huay

(what did we talked??)

Tonight the R(ifle) R(ange) people stayed up until 2am in prayer

They testified later of confession and blessings

Slept early due to bodily tiredness

{Hope you all not tired out}

December 7, 1979

Spoke on “Oneness in Christ” with a slight liberty

After the message appealed to the people

It was a slight challenge to get right with God

Had a day of prayer and fasting

It was a bit taxing on the body

Slept in the afternoon- due to tiredness.

At this time the LORD moved mightily

upon the people praying in the lecture room

Felt more liberty towards the evening

with clear vision and a better frame of mind

Spoke on “God’s faithful remnant” on Gideon’s army

with quite great liberty

4 people responded to full time calling

A number of SOMers stayed back in the

after meeting for confession and dedication.

Brother Jee Huay interjected

“sorry Eng Yee, I have no recollection of this even  at (St John’s Island) even it’s quite obvious i was there

“And what we talk about? No clue”

Truely the LORD was with us in power

Broke fast at about 10pm

Joined in a wonderful time of all

nite prayer meeting

The great peace of God flooded my soul

I can’t refrain from praising and adoration

Truly He is worthy of all glory,

power and honor and majesty

Amen and Amen

Praise the LORD!!!

A thousand thanks for His wonderful grace in saving and using a wretched soul like me

Calvin further comment:

That was in year 1979, more than 43 years ago. Our hearts felt strangely warm and once again fire came into our souls

40 years seem to be a short time as the Work of God is eternal and will last on till eternity to eternity

Now who were the 4 consecrators. The diary did not record their names. But from distant memory we could recall two from the photos

1. Sis Yee Cheng Sim (KL JSM)
2.  Sis Tan Suan Ho (Penang JSM)

3 and 4 were who???

Above two consecrators in that 1979 Camp

Sitting 2nd Row  at number 5 from right is Sister Yee Cheng Sim (Where are you now sister?)

For Sister Tan Suan Ho please look at very last row standing from left number four is bro Elisha Yee Bee Chong

And right in front of Bee Chong (Half hidden view) is Sis Tan Suan Ho (Where are you now?)

And this was the consecration song of the Camp on that most blessed and MEMORABLE TIME OF HIS VISITATION

IS YOUR ALL ON THE ALTAR OF SACRIFICE LAID?

1 You have longed for sweet peace,
And for faith to increase,
And have earnestly, fervently prayed.
But you cannot have rest,
Or be perfectly blest,
Until all on the altar is laid.

Refrain:
Is your all on the altar of sacrifice laid?
Your heart does the Spirit control?
You can only be blest,
And have peace and sweet rest,
As you yield Him your body and soul.

2 Would you walk with the Lord
In the light of His Word,
And have peace and contentment alway?
You must do His sweet will
To be free from all ill–
On the altar your all you must lay. [Refrain]

3 Oh, we never can know
What the Lord will bestow
Of the blessings for which we have prayed,
Till our body and soul
He doth fully control,
And our all on the altar is laid. [Refrain]

4 Who can tell all the love
He will send from above,
And how happy our hearts will be made,
Of the fellowship sweet
We shall share at His feet
When our all on the altar is laid! [Refrain]

In that Glorious Camp

we changed the word “you” to a more personal application

it goes like this

Is MY all on the altar of sacrifice laid?
MY heart does the Spirit control?
I can only be blest,
And have peace and sweet rest,
As I yield Him my body and soul.

AMEN & AMEN

ALL GLORY BE TO JESUS CHRIST!
