Malaysia Gathering

What do we do in the Gatherings?

Not a typical conference
No planned speakers, no teaching sessions, no human pre-set agenda.
A time of worship and waiting on the Lord
A call of the Father to His children to gather together
Not the initiative of any one ministry, but leaders meeting from different places, different streams for years united in the same heart: to see the glory of God manifested in our nation, and globally.

Glory won’t come by human programs
Waiting is a lost art in the Church – instead we are busy doing.
But we are supposed to be modeling ourselves after Jesus, only doing what He saw the Father doing, saying what He heard the Father saying (John 5:19, John 14:24)
We must give up our own rights, lay down our own agendas/plans and give Holy Spirit the freedom to rule in our midst.

There are two ways we can hear – through our mind or spirit
If we use our minds, then we will not be able to hear the impossible – only what is rational
God is the God of the impossible – David and Goliath, Joshua and Jericho
God’s Spirit functions by discernment – our spirit witnesses if something is God or not
We must live by the spirit (1 Corinthians 2:14) and renew our minds (Romans 12:1-2) and bring them in subjection to the spirit.

Each of us sees only in part (1 Cor. 13:9) that is why there is safety and wisdom in a multitude of counsel (Prov. 11:14/15:22).
We want to live like the Early Church – seek the Lord together until we can say “it seems right to the Holy Spirit and us.

Not a prolong visitation of God like a revival
But for us to become a dwelling place of God
We long for the glory of God like King David – Psalm 132 – to become the resting place of God
Like Moses said to the Lord- if Your presence doesn’t go with us, don’t send us from here.

Worship helps us enter the presence of God together, so we can hear the Lord more clearly.
We don’t set times for the worship – we worship until the Holy Spirit releases us.
We love to see different expressions of worship in the gathering – not just singing, but also dancing before the Lord.

Only recorded prayer of Jesus – John 17 – He prayed for unity of the body and said this is a key for the world knowing Jesus and His love for them
Unity is a spiritual principle
Unity is not doing things together – for e.g. evangelism meetings when all the churches support
Our unity is not in doing the same things or saying the same things, it’s having the same heart
This heart is total and complete submission and obedience to the Head, Jesus Christ, in every area of our lives.
God is pleased when the brothers and sisters are walking together in harmony and unity of heart and spirit. (Psalm 133)
God is a father – he likes His children walking in harmony with each other and in obedience to Him

The price is free, as we would like as many brothers and sisters who received the calling to come, to be able to come.
Of course, the cost for such gatherings is not free.
Therefore, we encourage anyone who is able to donate/financially sow into the gatherings, to please do so. Here is the how you can help sow into the gatherings at any time you feel led to do so. Offerings are also taken during the gatherings.

The gatherings are for brothers and sisters in any denomination who believe Jesus Christ is our only Savior.
They are open and not restricted to one denomination only.
In fact, God is pleased to see His people of different backgrounds come together to seek Him in unity (Acts 13:1-3)

Typically speaking we try our best to use all three of Malaysia’s main languages: BahasaMelayu, English and Chinese. But, feel free to contact us to confirm what translation you can expect at any particular gathering, as this may vary slightly from one gathering to the next.
