breakthrough angel
hello my dear caregroup! i just want to share with you this very powerful testimony which i received from an email from my friend Tiffany. it is a testimony recorded by 2 sisters in St Hilda Church. after reading it, i just couldn't stop praising God for His wonderful plans for Singapore! God is good and His mercy endures forever! :) to God be the glory.. amen!

The WISH ministry is held on Fri morning & this morning was just 2 days after National Day – 11 August 2006. That morning was unusually quiet. Only Angie & I were at the sanctuary. We wondered why the others did not turn up.
It was only later in the afternoon did we realized that both of us have made a mistake, a wonderful mistake! Actually, there was no WISH meeting that morning because there’s The Body Of Christ prayer meeting that evening.
Because the two of us were blur, the Lord brought us to this encounter without resistance from neither of us. We would not have turned up if we remembered that there was no prayer meeting.
Since the two of us were here, we carried on the intercession. As Jesus said, "where 2 or 3 are gathered in my name, there am I with them"
As we went on praying, Angie prayed from Eze 36 starting with v.25 "I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you will be clean; I will cleanse you from all your impurities and from all your idols." We knew we needed this cleansing, beginning with ourselves, then we prayed for the church to be cleansed. We confessed specifically of our own sins; for God knows everything about us. We did as Jas 5:16 says, we confessed our sins to each other & pray for each other that we may be healed.
We cried out for God to give us a new heart & put a new spirit in us. Similarly, we prayed for the leaders & the members of SHC. We continued & prayed v. 27 "And I will put my Spirit in you and move you to follow my decrees and be careful to keep my laws." We prayed that through the strength of the Lord, we will all be mindful to always seek the Lord in whatever we do.
We claimed v.28- 30 knowing that God will do as He says. "You will live in the land I gave your forefathers; you will be my people, and I will be your God. I will call for the grain and make it plentiful and will not bring famine upon you. I will increase the fruit of the trees and the crops of the field, so that you will no longer suffer disgrace among the nations because of famine." When the Lord is with us, there is no lack of good things. He will open the flood gates of heaven & pour out abundant blessings.
The both of us carried on, praying the Valley of Dry Bones in the hope this church will come alive. At this moment, I sensed something strange was happening. The air around me was electrified. Suddenly, I sensed the presence of something immense standing before me. I opened my eyes. Lo & behold! There’s a tall figure standing between Angie & me, almost reaching to the ceiling of the sanctuary. The word "Breakthrough" was on the pale golden sash that he wears. (At that moment, both of us were kneeling facing one another.) I called out to Angie, "Open your eyes! See! The angel! See the Breakthrough Angel." She didn’t open her eyes. I repeated called to her to open her eyes & see.
The angel did not speak to us, after awhile, sat down on the bench which was just behind Angie. Again, I called out to Angie to look to her left to see the angel. Both of us were on our knees. Then, I began to speak. I believe the Holy Spirit caused me to bring forth this message. "The Lord says, I am coming very soon.
The days are numbered.
Return to me and I will return to you
Be prepared.
Church, turn away from your traditions & methods.
Align your ways with my ways.
Repent, come and seek Me.
Work while there’s daylight. I’ll increase your harvest.
My favor is upon this nation.
I’ll bless you with wealth & crops in abundance for you need them to bring the gospel of the Kingdom of God to other nations. All these are given to you, not for your sake but for the glory of God.
This Breakthrough Angel had appeared to students in Berkeley & also to a Singaporean named Watchman in Singapore.
This angel is described in Exo 23:20-23. God sent this angel to prepare the way & bring the Israelites to cross into Canaan. Similarly, God is now bringing us to cross over to our inheritance. We are warned not to rebel against this angel as the Lord’s name is in Him.
Therefore, do not take the appearance of the Breakthrough Angel lightly.
Matt 13:39 - "The harvest is the end of age & the harvesters are angels." We are to co-labor with the angels to bring in the harvest.
Wherever this angel showed up, the heavens opened & poured.
Soon after the angel appeared, there was a heavy downpour. God is so merciful, He didn’t want to drench me & allowed me to get into a building before He sent the heavy downpour.
I met with a friend for early lunch that day. She is a non-believer & I told her nothing about what I just encountered. Out of the blue, she commented that my forehead is so bright. I think she saw the reflected light of the angel.

isn't God awesome? i am amazed that God constantly keeps our nation Singapore in His heart and that He wants to build us strong to be like the Antioch church - to send christians out into the world. wow!
