Be it unto me according to your word by Ivan Ho 24 Dec 2020   The true story of Christmas shows the contrast between the right response and wrong response (or no response) to the prophetic word of God. Zacharias responded in unbelief when an angel of the Lord prophesied the birth of his son John. As a result, he was made dumb until the promise was fulfilled. Sometimes, God stops communication with unbelievers, naysayers for a season without allowing them to negate the prophetic word.  And there appeared unto him an angel of the Lord standing on the right side of the altar of incense. And when Zacharias saw him, he was troubled, and fear fell upon him. But the angel said unto him, Fear not, Zacharias: for thy prayer is heard; and thy wife Elisabeth shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name John. And thou shalt have joy and gladness; and many shall rejoice at his birth....

Align every thought By Ivan Ho 16 Dec 2020   Wrong thoughts lead to all kinds of confusions and bad decisions in a person’s life. A lot of times wrong thoughts give us good feelings and good projections about what could happen in the future. Such thought is called imagination, a seed thought that the enemy plants in our minds that exalts itself above the knowledge of God. In the garden of Eden, the devil was speaking to Eve to try to influence her thinking. After listening to the devil’s suggestion, her soul began to imagine how good the forbidden fruit looked and how desirable it would be to gain wisdom. The thought on her mind contested the word of God but it gave her good feeling. And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and...

The appointed time of fulfillment  By Ivan Ho   19 Nov 2020   When God speaks to you prophetically in a dream, in a vision, how should you respond to it? Most people have no idea and just carry on business as usual. Over time when nothing seems to happen they dismiss or forget about it. God spoke to Habakuk the prophet that shows us some important principles.   1. Write down the vision That is perhaps the easiest thing to do but a lot of people don’t do it. We don’t have to understand or try to interpret the dream which is a revelation about some future events or revelation about what is in God’s heart. There are things that God knows that we don’t and God is bringing revelation in the form of dreams and visions. The first step we need to do is write down as we receive them. If we don’t we will forget about it over time. Last year I browsed...

Humble yourself by Ivan Ho    14 Nov 2020   How Lucifer became Satan Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire.  Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee.  By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God: and I will destroy thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire.  Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness: I will cast thee to the ground, I will lay thee before kings, that they may behold thee.  Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries by the multitude of thine iniquities, by the iniquity of...

Prophetic words Ivan Ho    4 Nov 2020   Last night our house church gathered as usual but it wasn’t a usual night. After worship, I volunteered to replace the person who was absent to be interviewed by other house church members. The following is a record of the prophetic words given to me by various group members. 1. Courage and desire to share gospel with foreign land 2. Strong foundation on the word of God 3. Picture of land flowing with milk and honey and a ladder to reach there 4. Picture of an umbrella over me 5. Peace over my life in difficult times The above prophetic words were given by different brothers and sisters in our house church. After I went home, I messaged a brother whether he too had a word for me during the meeting. Sure enough he did see a picture which he didn’t feel comfortable to share during the meeting, as follows: 6. Picture of a red horse...
