Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

To admit to absolute poverty of spirit and being destitute of divine wisdom and compassion places one in a position to receive the full ministry of the Holy Spirit.

Many of the KL-lites were quite overwhelmed and given new zeal by what they experienced and saw during the Penang Conference.

There were more delegates from other countries than from the local delegates itself! With a lot from Cambodia, Philippines, East & West Australia. Which doesn't speak much for the faith of the locals here!! We take things too easy.

Some of the countries may not be as resource, materially or financially rich, but they were spiritually rich!

Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.

The first FourSquare church in Cambodia started in 1994, and now, almost ten years later, there's almost 1200 churches over there.
We were told of the story of the orphans who had their orphanage building built on a land. The land that they built was bought for a very cheap price. Later it was found out that it was actually built on a land where many people had died during the war, and spirits roamed the place. The missionary (or the reverend- whoever it was), that bought the land said that he couldn't deal with those spirits, so he told the orphans that.

Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.

These young orphans (in their preteens and early teens) were pure in spirit, decided that they will handle the spirits themselves. They fasted many days and prayed over it, and later when they arrived at the place, they decided to fast and pray somemore. Somehow, the Lord led them to walk around the haunted land (like Jericho!) about 7 times, and the spirits went away. Now they live in peace. Praise the Lord, AMEN!

Matthew 5: 1-12
The Be-Atittudes:
"And seeing the multitudes, Jesus went up into a mountain: and when He was set, His disciples came unto Him: And He opened His mouth, and taught them, saying,"

Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
