Jonathan Heng - From History To His Story (Hebrews 11:8-18)
The story of Abraham is a story of how God can change a person's history of failure and sin into one of His mercy and grace.
Abraham was a great man of God, a hero of faith as we can read in Hebrews 11:8-19. However, he did not do everything right in the process.
When God called Abraham and made a covenant of promise that his descendants would be as the number of stars in the heavens (Genesis 15:5; also Genesis 12:1-3), he made a blunder by going ahead of the Lord, before His perfect timing. This resulted in Ishmael, a product of the mind and the flesh.
Sometimes, when a word of the Lord or a prophecy is released to an individual or a church, we can get impatient in trying to help God fulfill it by moving before its proper season and time. This often cause jealousy, strife and conflict. Ishmael is an example or a type of what happens when Abraham's wife, Sarah, asked him to go to her maid Hagar in order to bear them a child. This was a wrong move.
However, as God sees Abraham's heart of dedication, He has not forgotten His promises made to him. This resulted in the birth of Isaac, the child of promise and destiny, against all odds in the natural.
The key is:
Impatience gives birth to illegitimate work of the flesh (as represented by Ishmael); but
Intercession and intimacy with the Lord gives birth to inheritance in the Spirit (in the case of Isaac).
Today, God is calling us to be destiny setters for Him. Yet, mistakes in the past can often cripple us from being all that we can be in Christ Jesus. Like Abraham, what do we do when we fail God?
Continue to STAND before the Lord (and see His salvation) -
Genesis 18:22: "Then the men turned away from there and went toward Sodom, but Abraham still stood before the LORD" (a picture of intercession);
Genesis 18:33: "So the LORD went His way as soon as He had finished speaking with Abraham; and Abraham returned to his place" (we need to identify with people in our society and bring them to the Lord - an example of evangelization).
The key is:
The believer's primary commission is Intercession and Evangelization.
Intercession is the key to giving birth to inheriting the promises of God. Just as Abraham had to wait for the appointed time, when his wife Sarah was too old to conceive in the natural, God wants to move in the supernatural. It is like He is saying, "Is anything too hard for the Lord?" (Genesis 18:14).
Likewise, when God calls us for a task in the Kingdom, He will require maturity and obedience before the actual fulfillment of a word. Sometimes, it takes months and even years before we see the complete picture of His promises. In the case of Abraham, it was Isaac, the promise child, who was born in spite of his wife's barrenness and old age.
What are the "Isaacs" in our lives?
Could it be our career, material blessings, ministry and salvation of a loved one?
Some of us will have to press in and press on in prayer, faith and the Word before we see our fullest potential and destiny in Christ realized.
James 1:2-3 says: "My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing";
Luke 8:15: "But the ones that fell on the good ground are those who, having heard the word with a noble and good heart, keep it and bear fruit with patience"
The key is:
Faith is essential, but it is hope and patience with confession that brings forth possession.
Before possessing the promises of God, we need to know and love the Promiser Himself intimately. Intimacy and love for the Lord will result in a life of obedience, sacrifice and worship. Even after we have received our "Isaacs", we need to surrender them to the Lord as a living sacrifice. When we think we have produced some results in a particular career, calling, ministry or gifting, God may require us to lay it down on the altar.
Are we willing to relinquish our position and possessions in order to follow God wholeheartedly?
The lesson is:
Multiplication (follows and) comes through sacrifice.
And loving God precedes the fulfillment of visions and goals in ministry.

Jonathan Heng - The Highway Of Holiness (Isaiah 35:8-10)
What is holiness?
How do we walk in the power of holiness?
Holiness is to have the rule and reign of the Holy Spirit within, allowing Christ to live in and through us. It is an inward spiritual experience of resting and dwelling in the grace of God. Genuine holiness stems from the heart, mind and tongue that is yielded to Christ.
It is far more than just conforming to some external and outward performance of good works. It is concerned with "being" instead of "doing".
While good fruits and practical works will manifest when a person is holy, it is only a reflection and result of a living relationship with Jesus. If we are trying" to be holy by practising "good works", it will not work, "UNLESS the LORD builds the house, They labor in vain who build it... " (Psalm 127).
We are holy because of the finished work of Christ on the cross and we are resting in His grace through faith.
It is not something we do, attain or work up for. Rather, it is something we believe in: that God accepts us as holy by virtue of the righteousness of Jesus and as we abide in and submit to Him by faith, "For if the firstfruit is holy, the lump is also holy; and if the root is holy, so are the branches" (Romans 11:16). This is righteousness through faith, not through human abilities. Walking in holiness is the fruit of hungering and thirsting for the Presence of Jesus in our lives. True holiness is about inner truth and purity, not legalism, law or bondage, "and be found in Him, not having my own righteousness, which is from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is from God by faith; that I may know Him and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death, if by any means, I may attain to the resurrection from the dead" (Philippians 3:9-10).
It is one thing to preach about self-denial, dying to the flesh and the world, but the Good News is that we must also proclaim that the Gospel has the power to enable us to live a Spirit-filled life when the resurrection power of Jesus fills our hearts!
One of the marks of holiness is that it brings us to a greater devotion and intimacy with Christ. Devotion to Christ is measured by our desire to grow in His likeness. It is concerned with the heart, "For out of it springs the issues of life" (Proverbs 4:23).
Also, holiness is to have the fear of the Lord, which is to hate what God hates and love what He loves, "And by the fear of the LORD one departs from evil" (Proverbs 16:6).
Jesus is the root of holiness, we are the branches of His holiness. But then He wants us to produce fruits.
As we abide and yield to Christ, we are holy and then fruits will just "supernaturally naturally" be produced in our lives (and not that we must produce fruits to prove that we are holy).
The greatest joy of holiness, I believe, is to know that we are pleasing to God and are hearing His voice.
While genuine holiness will produce the joy and favour of the Lord, I want to say that not everyone will rejoice with us walking in His ways.
Following Jesus could also cause us to be despised and rejected by others who are probably jealous of God's anointing, blessings, favour and grace poured over our lives. They desire the joy and favour we are experiencing but because they have not known the truth of walking in holiness, they might sometimes persecute those who are godly. But my encouragement and exhortation is this, "And the Lord make you to increase and abound in love one toward another, and toward all men, even as we do toward you: To the end he may stablish your hearts unblameable in holiness before God, even our Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all his saints" (1 Thessalonians 3:12-13).

Jonathan Heng - The Prosperity Anointing
What is prosperity?
Prosperity is not just material success, it is having all our thoughts and actions being in line with God's Word. It is the result of commitment and dedication to the will of God, "Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers" (3 John 2).
God has the power to prosper us spiritually, physically and emotionally. If we are seeking God with all our hearts, His thoughts and plans will be shown in our lives, "For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope" (Jeremiah 29:11).
Over the last several years, there has been an abundance of teaching on the subject of prosperity. Books, tapes, conferences and television programs have invaded the Christian world on this issue. Many of these messages seem to promise happiness and wealth as God's sign of approval and favour on us. On the other hand, there are others who insist that to be devout or pious, we have to be physically and materially poor.
What then should our attitude towards financial prosperity?
As the Lord helps me, I want to address this important subject. I believe there are principles of prosperity that we can apply in our lives that will guarantee our success, but above all, God is looking for a pure people, a new breed that is full of faith and the Spirit, who will become partners with Him and be partakers of His covenant to establish His Kingdom in this generation, believers who will be faithful to pay the price of obedience in achieving the fullness of His blessings!
Just because some have taken the prosperity message to the extreme (by perverting and polluting it into what I'll call a "carnal, self-centred gospel" do not negate the truth that it is the heart and will of God that we prosper according to His ways. It is time that we seek the Lord for who He is, not just for what He can do.
We need to seek the "Promiser" Himself, not just for the promises. Our pursuit is to know His heart, not just see His hand move. Today, there are those who are only interested in seeking signs and wonders, but let us cry out to the One who alone satisfies.

Jonathan Heng - The Healing Anointing
The purpose of this message is to declare the healing anointing of God. That God's grace and glory will shine through us so that we will not only bring salvation but also take His healing power to people around us and even nations. I want to deal with the healing anointing in terms of being God's covenant, commission and compassion.
God is doing something new! We must be prepared for this move of God which includes speaking the Word accompanied by signs and wonders. God's anointing is full of grace and glory! Just as God's will is salvation not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance (2 Peter 3:9), His heart is for total healing in body, soul and spirit! The enemy has stolen from the Church of the Living God the knowledge of divine healing for centuries! God is about to restore all things! God's plan of redemption is salvation, healing and baptism in the Holy Ghost! Flowing out of His compassion and mercy, we need to be partakers of His divine nature which pertains to life and godliness. Perhaps, some of us are like the crowd when Peter was preaching in Solomon's Portico when the lamed man was healed, stood up, walking, leaping and praising God. What was Peter's response? Peter's response should be our answer to our churches and our world (read Acts 3:12-26). God's healing anointing is still flowing today! We must receive His covenant, commission and compassion to impart and release to a lost and dying world!

Jonathan Heng - Vehicle Dedication Service (James 1:17)
"Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning" (James 1:17).
I believe God is the Source for all our substances, including motor vehicles! Every Christian who have the opportunity to drive or be driven ought to be grateful for the gift of vehicles. Vehicles can be a blessing or a curse. As we honour God, it brings blessings. Yet, Satan wants to "steal, to kill, and to destroy" through thefts, accidents, mechanical faults, etc.
Some of us have faced problems with vehicles in one way or another. Either we are not faithful to God or else Satan is robbing us! If we are not faithful, we need to repent! But if Satan is robbing us, we need to ask God to rebuke the devourer! We need to Satan-proof our vehicles!
I feel that it is important that every one who is a steward of God's blessings need to dedicate our vehicles so that we can be His ministers of helps. We can "tithe" our time in bringing people to church. If you agree with God that He is the authority over your vehicle (whether it is car, motorcycle, van, truck, bus, boat, plane or other vessels of transportation), pray this prayer with me:
"Father, in the name of Jesus, I dedicate the vehicle (Make and Model): ____________________ with the (Registration plate number): ____________________ unto You. I ask for Your forgiveness and cleansing if the vehicle has been used for ungodly practices and purposes in the past (especially if you drive a second hand vehicle). From this day and forward, I ask that You and Your holy angels will watch over the vehicle against accidents, thefts and dangers. In Jesus name, we rebuke the devourer and destructive force of the enemy over the vehicle. Cover and wash every part of the vehicle with the blood of Jesus. Anoint and fill this vehicle with the Presence of the Holy Spirit. I confess and declare that Jesus Christ is the authority and Lord over this vehicle. I give myself and this vehicle to the glory and honour of God in Jesus name. Amen."

Jonathan Heng - Spiritual Vision, Passion and Mission (Isaiah 6:1-8)
Every God-called mission began with a vision. Isaiah saw the glory of God, acknowledged his own sinfulness and that of the people in his generation, which gave birth to the commission of God upon his life. Proverbs 29:18 says, "When there is no vision, the people perish... " Isaiah's heart and spirit also burned with consuming love, passion and compassion to be set apart for God. Today, there is a primary call for all Christians to "stand in the gap" - to intercede and evangelize, "And I sought for a man among them, that should make up the hedge, and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I should not destroy it... " (Ezekiel 22:30). Whether we are business people, engineers, farmers, preachers, teachers or in other fields of occupation, let our lights so shine before people in our world as the glory of the Lord is risen upon us!

Jonathan Heng - The Scarlet Cord Of Redemption (Joshua 2:18-21)
The story of Rahab, a harlot, is one of the most powerful stories of salvation. The scarlet thread, which was bound in the window, symbolized the then still-to-come shed blood of Jesus Christ. When God sent His spies, Rahab was convicted of her need to turn to the Lord and hence, she was saved before the destruction that was to fall on Jericho.
Trusting in the Lord Jesus Christ and His precious shed blood is the only way to obtain salvation. When we were living in sin, we were spiritual harlots in the kingdom of darkness and slated for destruction. But God sent His spiritual 'spies', which is the Word of God preached under the anointing of the Holy Spirit. As our hearts were convicted of our spiritual bankruptcy, blindness and prostitution, we repented and confessed Jesus as Lord. Spiritually, we tied the scarlet cord of redemption as we enter into a blood covenant relationship with God.
It’s time for the Church to get back to the cross, to the cross where Jesus shed His precious blood. Today, we are substituting fads, philosophies and vain self-help programs for the simple and unadulterated truth of God’s Word. The foundation of the gospel rests on the shed blood of Jesus Christ. Any gospel that does not have the message of the cross and the shed blood of Jesus is another gospel. It is accursed and scheduled for destruction. Every single blessing comes through the cross – salvation, healing, deliverance, the power and gifts of the Holy Spirit. The power of the cross, through the anointing of the Holy Spirit, is what makes the fulfilling of the Great Commission of the Lord Jesus Christ possible.

Every single blessing comes through the cross – salvation, healing, deliverance, the power and gifts of the Holy Spirit. The power of the cross, through the anointing of the Holy Spirit, is what makes the fulfilling of the Great Commission of the Lord Jesus Christ possible.
Jonathan Heng - Who Do You Say Jesus Is? (Matthew 16:13-17)
