We Are All Under Grace!


We are all under grace… all of us... even the unbelievers. Every human being on this planet earth are under God’s grace…

John 1:17 ~  For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. 

It has been over two thousand years ever since our Lord Jesus died on the Cross and resurrected on the third day of His death. When He was spending His six hours of long suffering on the Cross, He had made seven remarkable statements... these statements are selectively recorded in the four Books of Gospel!

i) "Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing."
ii) "I tell you the truth, today you will be with me in paradise."
iii) He said to his mother, "Dear woman, here is your son," and to the disciple, "Here is your mother."
iv) "I am thirsty."
v) "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?"
vi) "It is finished."
vii) "Father, into your hands I commit my spirit."

With these seven remarkable statements from the mouth of our Lord during His great suffering, as human being, we ought to believe that Father God is indeed faithful in loving us, for Jesus' death was a confirmation to His declaration that He so loved the world and He would gave up His One and only Begotten Son… and we, who called ourselves BELIEVER..., yes BELIEVER..., oh yes BELIEVER, should better know that our sins are totally forgiven In Christ..., past, present and future! Sin is a looooong settled issue!

Jesus with His death on the Cross had changed the dispensation and ended the era of human performance religion. His death on the Cross had called the human race out from the era of law, into the era of abundant provision of His grace and the gift of His righteousness… This is the era whereby the sins of all mankind had been forgiven… It is finished…! God had done His part… His grace has been lavished to all mankind… it is now up to mankind to respond to His love by receiving His Son through faith. Faith is indeed,  believing in what Jesus had done, not what our faith can do. 

Ephesians 2:8 ~ For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God.

Therefore, in this dispensation, it is NOT only those who preaches GRACE are under GRACE... But as long as you are a human being, whether believer or not, you are under GRACE. As long as you are born after the death of Christ, you are under this Grace Dispensation! Believers of Christ are no more under law but under grace. Believer did not invite Moses into their heart to be their Saviour... Believers have invited Jesus into their  heart, and Jesus is their Saviour. 

So, if we are not listening to the preaching of pure grace, or even if we are listening to the preaching that mixes grace with law, we have been robbed of all our blessings that Jesus died to give us…! We will slowly be "killed" and eventually, be "destroy"...! Before the devil comes to kill and destroy, he has already done his ground work on his targeted victims, that is to steal the truth from them. It is this lie on unforgiveness, condemning, legalistic preaching that keeps Christians bound. Christians are carrying a lot of guilt over their life which are bound by the teaching and preaching of prideful men. The end result is, instead of looking for victory that they already process, they focus on their own lacks. Instead of being positive in life, they are negative… Instead of being free, they are bound!

John 10:10 ~ The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.

The abundant provision of grace and the gift of righteousness is a bombshell to this religious world… Grace is unearned, underserved and unmerited favour from God. Nobody deserved anything from God but He chose to love, He chose to give... for He is Love and we are the object of His love! It is all about what Jesus had done… and our faith is to receive what Grace has given, no question asked…!

For it is by grace we have been saved, through faith and this not from ourselves, it is the gift of God.

Inception - 101 Lies Taught in Church Every Sunday

The list might go on......

1 Corinthians 5:7 ~ Get rid of the old yeast that you may be a new batch without yeast—as you really are. For Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed. 


Luke 8:18 ~ Therefore be careful how you hear. For whoever has, to him shall be given; and whoever has not, from him shall be taken even that which he seems to have.

God Is Upset When You Sin?


Steve McVey with his 100 Lies Series

Isaiah 54:9~10  "To me this is like the days of Noah, when I swore that the waters of Noah would never again cover the earth. So now I have sworn not to be angry with you, never to rebuke you again. Though the mountains be shaken and the hills be removed, yet my unfailing love for you will not be shaken nor my covenant of peace be removed," says the LORD, who has compassion on you.

Which Table Are You Partaking From?


In my previous post entitled "Confusion", King Nebuchadnezzar has been exposed of his conspiracy to confuse the redeemed. From his table, he lavishes his royal food and wine! Be discerning enough not to feast from his table. His table is called the table of confusion. The royal foods and wine is the teaching with the  mixture of law and grace which in one hand disarms the purposes of the law was given for and on the other hand neutralized the resurrection power of God’s grace.

Before us in the presence of our enemies, our Redeemer prepared the Table before our enemies.  We are partaking His Body and His Blood from His Table. This table is victorious, full of undeserved, unearned and unmerited favor of God. We come to our Lord's Table to enjoy and celebrate His victory and all that He had done for us! 

Before we continue, may I ask whether which table is your "Jerusalem" partaking from?  What is the difference between these two tables? Well, This king Nebu prepares his table before of our own weakness. When we come to king Nebu’s table, we need to legalistically confess all our sins and this is an insult to our Redeemer's finished work! This king Nebu is trying to copy the way our Redeemer prepared the Table but he leads us to eat and drink in an unworthy manner and as a result, many are weak and sick, and many sleep.   But when we come to our Lord’s Table, we partake with thanksgiving and acknowledgement of our Lord’s finished work in remembrance of Him. Because of  His grace, His body had open up a new and living way. The more we come, the more we live! Our Lord’s Table is full of solid truth which is His broken Body and His Blood!

Daniel the Prophet is the picture of the redeemed. He had the wisdom to resolve not to defile himself with the royal food and wine and he asked the chief official for permission not to defile himself this way. He asked the official to give them vegetable and water instead and test them for 10 days.

Have you resolve not to eat from king Nebu’s table?

The root word for vegetable here is seed. Jesus mentioned about the Word of God as seed in Matthew 13. He also said in one of the parables that He is seed and unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds. Now with this compilation of the New Covenant truth on seed, we can see that Daniel by then had already been feeding himself with the New Covenant truth, for the Word was with God and the Word was God. This is not ordinary Word but the resurrected Jesus Himself. As for water, we can easily connect water with the Holy Spirit. As the Holy Spirit is the Spirit of Truth, He only comes to glorify Jesus, the resurrected Jesus, Who is the Only Truth. That is why Apostle Paul preached in the Book of Romans that faith comes by hearing, hearing by the Word of Christ. The Christ here is the resurrected Jesus. Apostle Paul himself received revelation from the resurrected Christ and  with his revelation, he was able to write two third of the New Covenant. 

By the way, as I was writing this post, I was fascinated by the statement that my wife wrote on her Facebook wall. She wrote: No man understands the Scriptures, unless he is acquainted with the cross! What about that?

Well, after ten days of testing, Daniel and his gang looked healthier and better nourished than any of the young men who ate the royal food. This is the consequence of the right nutrition for the spirit man… After sitting under a ministry that preaches only the grace of God for eight years, I noticed that those who are in the Grace ministry are healthier in their physical and spiritual life. They are better nourished as the Bible says they are eating meat, not drinking milk because they understand the teaching on righteousness. The newly converted in our midst know more fundamental truth than those “old” Christians who sit under a ministry that preach the mixture of law and grace. 

I am now convinced that Daniel who was in his dispensation already had the wisdom to prophesize on the coming of the Messiah and the end time events because of his  resolution to partake only vegetable and water. What about us, the redeemed who had resolved not to defile ourselves with the royal food and wine from the table of king Nebu, the king of confusion?  We have the vegetable (seed, the Word of Christ) and the water is in us (the Holy Spirit in us)… Wow!

Which table are you partaking from? Is it king Nebu’s table or our Lord’s Table?

Lies That Taught On Sunday


Can lies be taught in Churches? I'm glad that you ask this question. Well, Jesus said, "You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free." Is your life free after you have been born again, or you have more rules and regulations to observe after you have becoming a born again Christian? Do you believe that the anointing that you received from Him is true and His anointing teaches you about all things is real?

1 John 2:21~27 I do not write to you because you do not know the truth, but because you do know it and because no lie comes from the truth. Who is the liar? It is the man who denies that Jesus is the Christ. Such a man is the antichrist—he denies the Father and the Son. No one who denies the Son has the Father; whoever acknowledges the Son has the Father also. See that what you have heard from the beginning remains in you. If it does, you also will remain in the Son and in the Father. And this is what he promised us—even eternal life. I am writing these things to you about those who are trying to lead you astray. As for you, the anointing you received from him remains in you, and you do not need anyone to teach you. But as his anointing teaches you about all things and as that anointing is real, not counterfeit—just as it has taught you, remain in him.



Steve McVey of Grace Walk Ministries


It is not about who is teaching you how to live a Christian life. It is about our revelation of who Jesus is.

Ephesians 3:16~19 I pray that out of His glorious riches He may strengthen you with power through His Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.

Unless you have a revelation knowledge of who the Person of Grace, our Lord Jesus Christ is, and establish yourselves in His grace, you will never know what a lie is like.

Same Lie From The Garden


Is there anything wrong with asking believers to love God or even remind them to love God? Even it is out of goodwill... Well, I would say this is the same lie from the Garden that leads believers to fall from grace.

First thing first. We are broke, out of ourselves, how can we love?

We are able to come to our Father God because of Jesus, His Blood had opened a new and living way through His body. We accepted Jesus as our Savior to enter into the Holy of Holies and have intimacy relationship with our Heavenly Father. It is the grace and mercy of our Heavenly Father that through His Darling Son, He lavished His love to draw our hearts to Him. This magnificent union is sparking with love when sinners respond to His love by confessing with their mouths, “Jesus is Lord!”, and believing in their heart that God raised Him from the dead. Believers are already in the Holy of Holies enjoying His majestic love…

Here comes the friendly utterance, “You have to love God!” from legalistic or religious leaders. With this decent encouragement, believers are actually being motivated to turn away from the Holy of Holies. They are now made facing the Outer Court through the entrance of the Holy of Holies. Their religious environment gently pushes them out of the Holy of Holies and their religious teachings make them busy with the rituals at the Outer Court. They have fallen from grace…

This is the same evil lie from the Garden… It is back to the same principle of eating from the right tree. Christianity is not about right or wrong and do and don’t. It is about life. It is about the Tree of Life not about the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil.

The moment the Holy Spirit convicted believers to respond to Jesus’ love, the life to love has been imparted to them by the Holy Spirit. They are made holy by the Holy Spirit to love God the moment they accepted Jesus as their Savior. It takes the same lie from the Garden to lead these innocent believers to fall from their high status of sons of God to slaves bind by the law when they abide to the law trying to perform their love for God...

Romans 3:22 ~ The righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe…

Those who are accepting this lie from the Garden are being deceived to establish themselves in the wrong righteousness. If we established ourselves in the principle of do and don’t, we can never understand the righteousness of God. If we dwell in our flesh, we will never understand the righteousness of God. If we eat from the Tree of the knowledge of Good and Evil, we will never understand the righteousness of God. These establishments encourage and give glory to SELF... i.e. self consciousness, self effort, and self righteousness.

To counter this evil lie from the Garden, authority has been given to those who are established in His grace by using His word; i.e. " It is written, we love because He first love us! "

If we are not established in His grace, we can never discern what is from the Tree of the knowledge of Good and Evil and what is from the Tree of Life..!

Don't Make Him A Liar (Part 5)


The mansion that Jesus mentioned in John 14:2 has been used as a candy to motivate believers with their “work” of life in Christ. The type and the structures of our mansions in heaven are very much depending on our behavior and the quantity of our work as a Christian on earth. A good and hard working Christian will be awarded a big and beautiful mansion while the lazy and worldly Christian might have only the pillars. So, spread the good news and save souls to secure your mansion in heaven... sound familiar?

One day (that was 5 years ago…), my younger son Adrian came back from his youth gathering and asked me a question… This question gave me a mixed feeling; i.e. I was scared that fears had been put into him and on the other hand, I marvelled that he indeed had a child like faith to ask from his father or "Father" to be precise.

He asked, “Daddy, can I live with you in your mansion when I go to heaven?”

Obviously, he had been motivated by his leaders to do the “good work” for his Saviour, and he definitely had not done any “good work” yet to deserve a mansion for himself. This is a classic example of the instinct of a human being to seek the sense of security; and I said to him, “Blessed are you Adrian, for this not revealed to you by man, but by my Father in heaven! The mansion is given to you by grace from our Lord and you can never earn it.”

He replied, “I know daddy, I scare you don’t know…!”

Praise the Lord, even my son at his young age then, knew the truth and had the faith to utter such a divine inspired question. He knew how to ask from his “Father” …

Jesus said in John 14:1-4, right after He prophesied on Peter that he would disown Him three times. “Let not you heart be troubled; ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know.”

How sweet and pure are these verses when they come out from our Lord's mouth... No trace of manipulation, no condition and no string attached but love and affirmation.

Please don’t make Him a Liar…

Don't Make Him A Liar (Part 4)

If God is for us, who can be against us..., but when God is against us, who can save us? You better know what you are doing...and you better be careful of what you are doing or even saying... The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God... What more to say you men of flesh! You better get yourself right with God or else, you will be left behind....

The congregation were silence... heads were down and low all over... Can you believe that these words are actually sounded from the pulpit?

The evil one is the script writer and he is behind all this conspiracy in many churches today. He is just happy that preachers are willing to cooperate with him. “Ha, ha, ha... you are under my controooool!”

Can this be real? Is this the God who said,” For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.”?

Can He be the God whose word and deed are different?

It is unrighteous for God to judge or punish the believers after what Jesus Christ had gone through at Calvary two thousand years ago. All the punishment and judgment of the world had been exhausted on Jesus' body at the cross. The same sin can never be punished twice... Why can’t the law lovers uphold the Law of Double Jeopardy?

Through Jesus’ Finished Work on the cross, anything that is against us, according to the knowledge of God had all been settled at the cross. There are no more barriers between God and us, and He is righteous to pronounce us righteous as He had already poured out all our unrighteousness upon the body of our Lord Jesus Christ.

It is the will of our God that we are saved and made righteous through His begotten Son Jesus. We are now and forever the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus and we are the apple of His eye.

Don't Make Him A Liar (Part 3)


Many Christian has been led to misunderstand the ministry of the Holy Spirit especially in the Charismatic circle. By the look of the names of Comforter, Helper, Counselor and Spirit of Truth given to the Holy Spirit, we should have peace in our heart that the Holy Spirit, promised by the Father, given because Jesus was glorified, is sent to comfort, to help and to point us to the truth. If only we can believe with a child like faith of what Jesus said about the ministry of the Holy Spirit instead of believing what religious people have portrayed, we should be able to save ourselves from a lot of unnecessary struggles or even troubles.

The passage from John 16 is a very beautiful passage about the ministry of the Holy Spirit. But it has been miss interpreted and has been controversially used to condemn believers.

Let's see how Jesus expounds the truth…

i) When He comes, He will convict the world of guilt in regard to sin, righteousness and judgment
This verse is the outline of the ministry of the Holy Spirit. Yes, the Holy Spirit is sent to convict the world of guilt in regard of sin... But do not jump to the conclusion at this point when we see the word sin. Read on… He also convicts the world of righteousness and judgment. (As far as a religious mind is concerned, the word sin is always more impacting than the word Jesus. Do not forget that Jesus is the Saviour of the world full of sinners.)

ii) In regard of sin, because MEN do not believe in me
Who do not believe in Him? We need to find out who is this MEN Jesus is talking about. He is saying those unbelievers who are still in the world. We were once convicted by the Holy Spirit of our sin before we believed in Jesus. We were in the world and we were not a believer then. It is true that the Holy Spirit convicted us of the guilt of our sin. Because of His conviction, we are a believer now. Hallelujah! So settle this once and for all, the men here is unbelievers. The only sin that the Holy Spirit is convicting the world is the sin of unbelief in what Christ had done for them!

iii) In regard to righteousness , because I am going to the Father, where YOU can see me no longer
Who is this YOU? It is you and me, the believers. Good news… See how beautiful the way Jesus uses words. From MEN, He is now more personal and turns His attention to YOU. He said in righteousness, the Holy Spirit is here to point us (believers) to Jesus because Jesus is no more on this earth but seated at the right hand of the Father. If He is still around, by the look of His eyes, we will know that He loves us and He accepts us. (When we made mistake while we were young, we would look to our parents, by the look of our parent’s eyes, we would know that we were still accepted by them despite of our mistake.) Do not take the spirit of relationship away from our belief. Religion is cold not cool…. Since Jesus is back with the Father, it is the job of the Holy Spirit to show us that we are still the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus every time we fail. The Holy Spirit is not here to point out believers’ sin but our righteousness in Christ; because in God’s eye, He sees no sin in believers’ life. What the believers need most is the conviction of His righteousness. This is how we stand up after our fall. It takes more faith for us to believe that we are righteous and we can go without any faith to know that we are a sinner. Think about it….

iv) And in regard to judgment, because the prince of this world now stands condemned.
The judgment is meant for the Devil, the prince of this world not the believers….

There is a funny phenomenal in the “crazymatic” circle; some believers can be interpreted and addressed by religious people as devil, goat or wolf when these "victims" made mistake. While Jesus, their Savior called them sheep. With all sorts of crazy idea coming in, a beautiful passage can also be turned into a judgmental passage which kills off numerous sheep that Jesus had called in. What a conspiracy….

The Holy Spirit never convicts believers of their sin. He is here to convict us of our righteousness. The reason why the Holy Spirit does not convict believers of their sin because as far as Father God is concerned, sin is a settled issue two thousands year ago,and we have already received Jesus as our Saviour. He remembers our sins no more and He will never leave us and never forsake us. So,...

Don't make Him a Liar.

Don't Make Him A Liar (Part 2)


Holy Communion was ordained by God for the believers to remember Jesus’ finished work at the cross and to proclaim to the world the Lord’s death until He comes. Communion is so important in God’s eye that, Jesus Himself had to reveal this element personally to Paul, the Apostle of grace. Why Apostle of grace? Why not the eleven Apostles who lived day in and day out with Him?

Obviously, grace is the foundation and He needed a man who was a Pharisee of Pharisees, and converted by grace to expound this important truth. Indeed, believers need to be established in grace before any truth of this element can be revealed. His finished work at the cross was a glorious act that all beings in heavens stood still to witness His magnificent act. His death on the cross is the theme of heavens. Therefore, communion is all about remembering Jesus, His finished work at the cross and the celebration of His death.

This truth can never be revealed in a legalistic and a religious environment. Legalist and religious people are bound with negative mentality and they are so self-conscious that they can only see their own short coming, their own sin and their failure.

When Apostle Paul used the word “unworthy”; he meant the manner we partake the communion. Is our manner glorifying the magnificent act of Jesus? Are we glorifying Him when we come to the Table? Is our sin an unsettle issue? Are we made righteous because He was sacrificed at the cross? Are we blessed because He was hung on the tree? It is the manner of how we response to His magnificent work when we partake, not how worthy we are. Without His Body and Blood, nobody is worthy, including me!

Legalists and religious people are concerned of their behavior, their right standing with God and the way to approach God. They really come to the Lord’s Table with sincere heart. So they come before the Table confessing their sin. Ignorantly, they sin big time when they partake the Lord’s body because confession of sin before partaking is an unworthy manner. They are not recognizing the body of the Lord; they are recognizing their own body. By doing so, they are actually proclaiming to the world that Jesus did not do a good job on the cross or Jesus had not die yet, because their sins still remain. But the truth is; Jesus said “It’s finished...!” I rather believe in Jesus then those religious people.

Come to the Lord’s Table boldly knowing that all your sin, past, present and future had been forgiven. Give glory to His magnificent work on the cross and proclaim His death to the world and knowing that He will be back! He has prepared a Table for you in front of your enemies. This is the Place where your victories are waiting...

Don't make Him a lair.

Don't Make Him A Liar (Part 1)


Jesus died on the cross to redeem us from our sin two thousand years ago. He took away all the sins of the world and after He was gloried, He gave His Holy Spirit to those who believed in Him. The Holy Spirit dwells in us believers, and He promised He will never leave us nor forsake us.

Psalm 51 is a beautiful Psalm, but it is not the Psalm for our day. King David, the author of this Psalm was under an inferior covenant, who did not have the Holy Spirit dwell in him but on him. Thus, the Holy Spirit leaved him when he sin. David, a man after God’s heart, knew that God is merciful and there is grace with God. Psalm 51 was his petition to the gracious God he knew. He long to be in the new covenant like us when he prophesied in Psalm 32 verse 1 & 2 that, “Blessed are they whose transgressions are forgiven, whose sins are covered. Blessed is the man whose sin the Lord will never count against him.”

We are under a better covenant because of what Jesus had done on the cross. The precious blood of our Lord Jesus Christ has made us so clean that the Holy Spirit can dwell in us. The Father had forgiven us of all our sin, past, present and future, confirmed by our Lord's shout of , "It 's finished!" on the cross. He remembers our sin no more! So if you are a born again Christian, I am sorry to tell you that He cannot hear you confessing your sin because He cannot be a lair, He had promised that He remembers our sin no more...!

Do not make Him a liar.
