Life March Reversing the effects of Death on the land
A. Background God has been impressing the Arise 5 Msia team of leaders about His desire to redeem and restore this beautiful land of Sabah from the traumas and wounds that have been inflicted.
1. Double 6 Tragedy (6 th June, 1976) This single event robbed Sabah of her Sovereignty/Identity Headship Wealth...
6 June 2015 saw the beginning of our 40 th year!! This year, before Double Six, we set apart a team to discern and do some research.
On Jun 6, the Lord led us to fulfil Jos 6:6 early at 6am. At 8am, we joined the families of those who perished to lay a wreath on behalf of the Church of Sabah at the monument.
Thereafter, the Lord opened the way for us to pray for 2 families who confessed they are still suffering the effects of that air crash 40 years ago!!
2. Jun 5, 2015 the unexpected earthquake happened around the Ranau area... Spiritually we discerned God is shaking our land and peeling off the occult layers of death symbolised by Mt Kinabalu. Isa 25: 6-12 became reality to us.
God also led the Pastors in KK to galvanise the whole of Msia and beyond to come gather to pray at the Park. This we did on July 10-11 themed Kinabalu Prayer Gathering
The turnout was unexpected!! The hall of 800 capacity was packed to capacity and more had to participate outside!!
3. Life March to reverse the Effects of Death caused 70 years ago during the Japanese occupation from Jan to Aug 1945. It is now 70 years 70 symbolises Out of Captivity!! A small team of 21 members Plus a tour guide Mr. Tham (who is himself quite an authority in this area, having been involved in unearthing some unusual information from the local people) And a reporter reversed this journey from July 22-23.
B. To reverse the effects, we started from the Last Camp beyond Ranau where all living soldiers perished. 22-23 July 2015
1st stop: LAST CAMP Memorial Mr. Tham gave us the historical background...we discovered aiding the Japanese were forced conscripts of Taiwanese and Korean porters but no Taiwanese has set foot here yet.
A lot of repentance took place, from representatives for Taiwanese, Japanese, Australians, British, local people... We declared a resurrection of life for the whole route as the blood of Jesus has paid for everything. We released all the spirits that are trapped there to go in the Name of Jesus.
We blessed Dr Othman and his wife, the owners of this land. May their descendants be blessed as he has generously given this portion of land in memorial of those gone. God gave us a vivid picture of a movie finishing with "The End" which is turned to a new page signifying a new beginning!
Everywhere we went, we sprinkled green and red beans to herald land be restored and good harvest coming, clearly proclaiming a new beginning and new life!!
2nd stop: Gunner Cleary Memorial At Ranau SIB Church compound This is the place where Gunner Cleary was hung on the tree. It reminded us of Jesus who was hung on the tree to break the curse of death.
We thanked the indigenous peoples here who were brave enough to help the POWs. As our token of appreciation for their help of POWs, we brought 2 bags of goodies...oil, biscuits, sardines, milo... SIB Pekan Ranau was a point of revival. With healing of the land, we declare the Lord will come and visit the church and this place again. Isa 35 was declared over this place God is establishing a Highway of Holiness...
We also proclaimed that they will put on their warrior identity. Unexpectedly, the Church leaders retained us for refreshments already prepared.
3rd stop: PAGINATAN HISTORICAL MARKER Paginatan was an important staging post for the Japanese where a major storehouse was located. Starved of food, the Japanese committed cannibalism by slicing off flesh from POWs for food. The wounds of POWs were allowed to heal by mere plastering of gauze
We repented and sprinkled salt on the ground as a token to cleanse this defiled land. Everybody was encouraged to pick up a stone to set up an altar.
As we partook of the Communion there, everyone poured half cup of wine and broke half of our bread and sprinkled them on the altar as a sign of renewing our Covenant with Christ and proclaiming peace over this land. We declared Jehovah Rapha the Healer to come heal this land. Communion at Paginatan
New Altar was built Communion was shared and pour out
4th Stop : Tampias / Nunuk Ragang Mr. Tham highlighted that the POWs who couldn t cross the river were tortured or executed. When Nunuk Ragang was constructed, plentiful ammunition was discovered buried underground.
Raneh represented the Anak Negeri to repent over their beliefs in the 1. Occultic practices and believing that their spiritual realm is greater 2. Victim mentality 3. Fear of being alone
At Nunuk Ragang compound, we did the following - 1. A prophetic act... human chain of whirlwind 2. Buried a miniature bible 3. Oil poured and declared that the powers of 16 spirits (Aug 31 - Sep 16) be nullified
God showed us a sign - a dead kitten as we boarded to leave!! To us it is a clear symbol the occult and witchcraft in this area is broken!!
5th stop: Taviu Hill Mr. Tham enlightened about treasures of silver and gold buried by Japanese in the vicinity. Ps Jenny declared via Haggai 2:1-9 God is shaking the heavens and the earth to release His glory and power... In Msia s context, shaking the heavens = 3 air disasters Shaking the sea - unusual floods in WM and Sabah Shaking the earth = earthquake Haggai 2:8 silver and gold... God is shaking treasures into His kingdom
777 to defeat the power of the enemy 666 5th stop is no. 5 = grace! Because this is the Year 5775, and fifth stop...hence, triple 555. God gives supernatural grace to overcome the enemy and to receive His treasures... Using Haggai 2:1-9, participants made declarations in the bus.
6th stop: SANDAKAN MEMORIAL PARK The POWs were promised the prospect of going home so they were hopeful. 1st batch reached Ranau in a record time of 10 days. Thereafter, hope was diminishing and the other 2 marches took much longer time as hopelessness set in, till death was imminent. We declared hope for all in the Name of Jesus.
One of us saw Borneo being a dog and the eye is Sandakan. As we declare God cleansing the eye, it seemed as if a veil was torn off and the eye becomes clear. This is symbolic of Sabah Churches receiving revelational and prophetic insight from God. From now on, we will see more clearly what God wants to do...
Also God will give prophetic strategy like the Trojan horse. Malaysia will have special strategy from God to reach out to the M nations during this end time.
Trip ended with the refrain: It is DONE!! VICTORY, Victory, Victory!! Sign Throughout the trip, we were ahead of the stipulated time given. It seems God is prophetically saying His Church will be ahead of enemy plans and strategies.
Also we changed into a bigger and more powerful bus on our return trip. Could God be saying He is enlarging our capacity and releasing greater power onto His Church in this season?
Haggai 2: 1-9 esp vs 6-9 Haggai 2: 6-9 6 For thus says the LORD of hosts: Once more (it is a little while) I will shake heaven and earth, the sea and dry land; 7 and I will shake all nations, and they shall come to the Desire of All Nations,[a] and I will fill this temple with glory, says the LORD of hosts. 8 The silver is Mine, and the gold is Mine, says the LORD of hosts. 9 The glory of this latter temple shall be greater than the former, says the LORD of hosts. And in this place I will give peace, says thelord of hosts. 哈该书 2:6-9 6 因为万军之耶和华这样说 再过不多的时候 我要震动天 地 海洋和旱地 7 万军之耶和华说 我要震动万国 万国的珍宝 就必运来 我要使这殿宇充满荣耀 8 万军之耶和华说 银子 是我的 金子也是我的 9 万军之耶和华说 这殿宇后来的荣 耀 必大过先前的荣耀 万军之耶和华说 在这地方 我必赐 下平安
God says He will shake heaven and earth, the sea and dry land Shaking heaven air disasters Shaking the earth earthquake Shaking the sea floods
What happens As God shakes? 1. People will come to the Desire of All Nations Jesus v. 7 - Harvest is coming in!! 2. God will fill His temple with His greater glory v. 7b, 9 3. God will bring in the silver and the gold... treasures for the advancement of His Kingdom... v. 8
