Greater Grace is Coming!
““For truly, in this city against your holy servant, Jesus, whom you anointed, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles and the people of Israel, were gathered together to do whatever your hand and your council foreordained to happen. Now, Lord, look at their threats, and grant to your servants to speak your word with all boldness, while you stretch out your hand to heal; and that signs and wonders may be done through the name of your holy Servant Jesus.” When they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were gathered together. They were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and they spoke the word of God with boldness. The multitude of those who believed were of one heart and soul. Not one of them claimed that anything of the things which he possessed was his own, but they had all things in common. With great power, the apostles gave their testimony of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. Great grace was on them all. For neither was there among them any who lacked, for as many as were owners of lands or houses sold them, and brought the proceeds of the things that were sold, and laid them at the apostles’ feet, and distribution was made to each, according as anyone had need.” (Acts 4:27-35 WEB)
In a post from months ago, I had shared that Pharaoh’s dream of the seven fat cows and seven skinny cows have an end-time prophetic meaning of seven years of plenty before the Rapture and seven years of severe famine during the seven years of Tribulation.
“Joseph said to Pharaoh, “The dream of Pharaoh is one. What God is about to do he has declared to Pharaoh. The seven good cattle are seven years; and the seven good heads of grain are seven years. The dream is one. The seven thin and ugly cattle that came up after them are seven years, and also the seven empty heads of grain blasted with the east wind; they will be seven years of famine. That is the thing which I spoke to Pharaoh. What God is about to do he has shown to Pharaoh. Behold, there come seven years of great plenty throughout all the land of Egypt. There will arise after them seven years of famine, and all the plenty will be forgotten in the land of Egypt. The famine will consume the land, and the plenty will not be known in the land by reason of that famine which follows; for it will be very grievous. The dream was doubled to Pharaoh, because the thing is established by God, and God will shortly bring it to pass.” (Genesis 41:25-32 WEB)
I believe we are in/entering that season of seven plentiful years.
In the seven plentiful years, we are going to see things like the early church experienced, but at a much greater magnitude. It is the Lord’s final harvest of souls before the Rapture.
We will see:
- Bold believers rise up to win souls and amazing miracles happening when they preach the Gospel.
- The world shaken by the Holy Spirit and a huge outpouring of the Spirit upon all flesh. Even unbelievers will receive dreams and visions from God and experience His power.
- A new level of unity and love among the body of Christ.
- A prosperous church that shares her wealth with those in need; the wealth of the nations will be transferred to believers.
We are not going to leave this world as a bruised, battered, cowering church. We will be prospering in all things together and prepared as a radiant bride for the Lord. This is the effect of us collectively receiving more revelation about the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
“But the path of the righteous is like the dawning light, that shines more and more until the perfect day.” (Proverbs 4:18 WEB)
The path of the righteous (believers) will shine more and more until the perfect day.
“For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet. The last enemy that will be abolished is death. For this perishable body must become imperishable, and this mortal must put on immortality. But when this perishable body will have become imperishable, and this mortal will have put on immortality, then what is written will happen: “Death is swallowed up in victory.” “Death, where is your sting? Hades, where is your victory?”” (1 Corinthians 15:25-26, 53-55 WEB)
The last enemy that will be put under Jesus’ feet and abolished is death. This means that before the Rapture, all other enemies would be under the feet of the body of Christ. This includes sickness, aging, weakness, poverty, broken relationships, and all types of bondages that have plagued the church throughout history.
We would be so full of life that the only thing remaining is to be clothed with our glorified body and meet Jesus in the air.
Are you excited about the seven years of plenty? If the early church experienced great grace, the end-time church before the Rapture will experience greater grace! Don’t just be a spectator—ask Him to let you participate in a significant way, to bringing about good change for His kingdom!
One revelation that the body of Christ will grow in is this: receiving supernatural youth renewal to live young, healthy, strong, and beautiful like Jesus. I believe that “Younger and Younger” (the eBook and audio) are being used to enlighten believers about this part of our inheritance that is often neglected. Join me on a 31-day youth renewal journey to meet a new you—it is a transformation that everyone can see:

【明月幾時有,把餅問清天】
I sometimes ask myself, what will I do, if I'm caught in a mass disaster?
Will I, like the passengers in United Flight 93, revolt against the 911 terrorists and drive the plane away from their intended target?
Will I do what the 22-year-old Park Ji Young did in the Sewol ferry disaster, refusing to leave the sinking ship as long as there is a passenger onboard?
Or will I just run and flee, and maybe regret for the rest of my life for not doing more to save my fellow humans from dying in vain?
I read reports of the Las Vegas shooting and think about love.
The lack of love that make a person think it is okay to take away the life of another human being.
Leaving behind orphans, broken families, shattered hearts and bloodied bodies.
Few nights ago, a client was lamenting to me.
She couldn't understand why life was happening so badly for her, in her marriage and career.
She was aware of her bad temper but other than that, she didn't think she was that bad a person to deserve such a destiny.
I asked her:
A mother who can murder an innocent child, and have not done any great compensation or repentance for her aborted baby, after 20 years.
Despite me telling her the sins of abortion early this year.
How can a person like this have a good heart?
Just saying that you didn't feel good is not sufficient when you make a deliberate decision to kill.
It's lame.
In the mortal world, murder calls for either lifetime imprisonment or death penalty.
That's just the mortal world.
In the netherworld, when your baby goes screaming and crying to the King of Hades, you pay for your sin with your destiny.
She said I was very blunt to make her understand.
I replied that she has been living in a cloak of self deceit.
Sure I can talk nicely to you, if making money from you is what I care more than your karmic debts.
But I do not see my clients as my ATM machines.
When the notion of self-benefit is non-existent, it is easier to speak the honest truth.
After all, you come to me to change your destiny, not to hear sweet nothings.
Many women aborting doesn't justify it to be a normal or harmless thing to do.
Many people killing senselessly and selfishly doesn't make it right.
It's not easy to be reborn as a human.
In the six realms of reincarnation, the human realm is the most precious as it is most conducive for cultivation towards Buddhahood.
If my memory serves me right, once in a conversation with his disciple, Buddha remarked that the number of sentient beings in this Samsara world is as vast as the number of sand grains in a desert.
With His bare hand, He picked up a handful of sand from the ground.
And said, but the number of people who get to be reborn as humans are only as little as the amount of sand grains in His hand.
Even that little amount is slowly slipping through his fingers as He spoke.
It's even harder to be born as a healthy human who gets a decent education and comprehends what I am writing here.
I like what James Altucher inferred about life: Life is not something given or taken at a whim.
Nobody has the right to take away another person's life.
During CNY this year, Shifu did a Learning Session telling us his world analysis. Which countries we should avoid Travelling to and how there will be many fires around the world, particularly in which countries, that includes bombing and shooting.
I hope the attendees took it to heart.
My Grandmaster, Living Buddha Lian-Sheng has summed the world outlook with a Chinese character "亂" (Messy).
PM Lee has said it's not a matter of whether, but when, a terriost attack may launch in Singapore.
There is darkness in every one of us.
We all had bad thoughts that we never utter.
We all had ugly acts that we don't want others to know about.
But I believe succumbing to darkness never make anyone happy permanently.
In my unhappiest and darkest days, I still hope that someone out there will be happier than me, living a life more fulfilled than mine.
It is so painful that I hope nobody has to go through what I went through.
That is why I take time to write.
While the eventual goal of learning the Dharma is to become a Buddha, there are many ways to start off in a less lofty manner for the uninitiated.
One way would be not to harm others with your words, intent and actions.
That is why our precepts tell us not to kill, not to take what doesn't belong to you, not to deceive, not to engage in sexual misconduct and not to consume intoxicants.
On the surface, it seems we are doing it for ourselves, not wanting more bad karma.
Fact is, we are learning how not to hurt other sentient beings, how to love and live life in a wholesome and meaningful way.
I don't think such thinking is exclusive to Buddhists.
It should be the cornerstone of any human being.
I am an advocate that the good will always triumph over evil.
I always affirm that the Light will prevail over Darkness.
Before we start pointing our fingers at the attackers, let's take an insightful look into ourselves.
Are we acting like a terrorist to our loved ones?
Killing off their happiness and meaning to living by cheating on them or treating them like dirt?
Or killing innocent children we call our flesh and blood?
Are we killing ourselves by living irresponsibly, letting our desires rule over our humanity and never contributing to others?
It is ridiculous to ask love from others when we don't have the capability to love well.
If we have failed before, it is never too late to repent.
This Mid-Autumn Festival, I wish for you to have a heart like the full moon, radiant and bright, dispelling the gloomy clouds of greed, ignorance and hatred.
And wherever or whoever you may be, please be well, kind and happy.
For the ones who died too soon, may you be reborn in a better realm.
往生淨土,超生出苦,
南無阿彌陀佛,
南無阿彌陀佛,
南無阿彌陀佛。
