 | Greeting All:
A Great Praise Report of Salvation and Healing:
A week before last Thursday, after much prayer, I was touched again to call my Christian friend and visit her 83 years old mother in the emergency room of Garfield hospitial in Alhambra for slow heart beats, breathing problem, and infirmities. This mother had a buddhist background. I preached the gospel to her once cheerfully at her home and finally again in the hospital even she was not in her conscious mind. We believe that her spirit is still conscious or alert. So we prayed and sang some worship songs that evening at the hospital. I had much peace and knew that she will be fine. This sister told me three days later after our visitation that her mother was in a stable condition and moved back to a regular room. Then, another minister came for her mother and her mother received Jesus with joy and even raised up her hand and put a thumb up for Jesus. She got water baptism by sprinkling too in the hospital! Praise the Lord! This is a good example of the power of team work to save soul and heal the sick as in 1 Corinthians 3:5-8 "...Only servants, through whom you came to believe—as the Lord has assigned to each his task. 6 I planted the seed, Apollos watered it, but God made it grow. 7 So neither he who plants nor he who waters is anything, but only God, who makes things grow. 8 The man who plants and the man who waters have one purpose, and each will be rewarded according to his own labor. 9 For we are God’s fellow workers; you are God’s field, God’s building."
A Message of Grace and Law:
I would like to share my following important letters (attached letter in Word file also) to a pastor of a large congregation with a confirmation in Los Angeles, United States. This is also for all churches who preach only Grace of God and who quench the Holy Spirit. Must Read!
(2/1/13)Thanks for your reply, Pastor. I believe you misunderstood my meaning of "We are under Law". As I wrote in one of my e-mails, for salvation, we are not under Law but for our obedience to our Lord, we are under Law too. I know what you mean in your reply. I agree with that for salvation. It is true that the Holy Spirit puts the Law in our heart directly, not on stone for our conviction and for our knowing God. Do you agree with that? Sadly some Christians or God's children still like a baby sometimes and we need to guide them with Law and rules. That is what I mean. If we don't give them Law, they do not know what to follow and how they obey God then. What to obey? I also said that we cannot fulfill the Law without the help of the Holy Spirit. We must therefore allow our precious Holy Spirit to minister and teach our sheep. The Law of God is more than 10 commandments and that is why we need the Holy Spirit to show us more of what is of God. If they break the Law, as long as they confess and repent, God will forgive them and that is how grace of God comes into the picture. We need the balance of Grace and Law. I believe due to the great rebellion of this nation, we do need to emphasize the Law more than ever as well. Pastor, my point is that your statement confused some of the audiences by thinking that we only believe Jesus without action. Pure faith requires actions including obedience to all God's Law. I believe you would agree with me on this one.
Confirmation: Yesterday (1/31/13) at around 5:50 pm, I turned on radio FM 107.9, Pastor Brian Brodersen from Calvary Chapel of Costa Mesa preached the same things I shared with you and other church pastors recently. He said that there is a time that we cannot depend on our own intellect and ability. We must be like the apostle Paul and Peter, those apostles in the book of Acts to preach and to serve God with signs, miracles, and wonder by the power of the Holy Spirit. The ministry needs to be supernaturally. We need the fullness and the power of the Holy Spirit; we have no choice.
Then, I heard another preacher on the radio that the Holy Spirit puts the mind of Christ in us and when God talks to us, He actually speaks to our mind (not necessary audiable voice) like in 1 Corinthians 2. I agree with him. We need the mind of Christ. I was sharing this with other Christians lately and the same Spirit of God spoke to this pastor.
Praise the Lord for His wonderful deeds! We love you! May God bless you, Pastor! P.S. If you allow me, I love to come and pray over you and your wife. Please don't feel bad for a woman preacher to pray over you because it is the work of the Lord to do so, not of my own. I am full of the Holy Spirit (Acts 2:17) and I only obey God to pray over any pastor including male pastors. There is no more gender issue in the last days of ministries. May God make you see this important issue!

(1/31/13)
Dear Pastor: Good morning! I am thankful for allowing me to share what I received from your videos and also from our good Lord. First, I would like to tell you something about your members......
God calls us to make disciples, not just believers (or new converts) according to Matthew 28:19,20. The word "Disciple" comes from "Discipline". People need to be disciplined before they can be disciples. There is no way to make disciples without the involvement of baptism, filling, and leading of the Holy Spirit as you can see in the books of Acts and 1 Corinthians and other books of the Bible.
In order to know if you are filled and led by God and are called to be disciple of God, you must have fruits of the Spirit (Love of God), Faith of God, power of the Spirit, miracles, signs, and wonder including new tongues for prayer, etc. (1 Corinthians 2, Mark 16:15-18, Acts). We will do greater things than what Jesus has done like His disciples Paul and Peter (John 14: 12).
Romans 8:14 says "..those who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God." The so called Christians cannot be God's children if they are not led by His Spirit. I found that some members of your church are not led by His Spirit and have no Spirit in them. So, are they sons or children of God?
Pastor, I do not understand why you keep saying we are not under Law in your sermon. Laws are good and make people do the right things. I explained that in my last e-mail that as a true believer and disciples, we are still under God's Law as shown in Romans 7:12- 8:14:"So then, the law is holy, and the commandment is holy, righteous and good.13 Did that which is good, then, become death to me? By no means! But in order that sin might be recognized as sin, it produced death in me through what was good, so that through the commandment sin might become utterly sinful.
14 We know that the law is spiritual; but I am unspiritual, sold as a slave to sin.15 I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do.16 And if I do what I do not want to do, I agree that the law is good.17 As it is, it is no longer I myself who do it, but it is sin living in me.18 I know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my sinful nature. For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out. 19 For what I do is not the good I want to do; no, the evil I do not want to do, this I keep on doing.20 Now if I do what I do not want to do, it is no longer I who do it, but it is sin living in me that does it. 21 So I find this law at work: When I want to do good, evil is right there with me.22 For in my inner being I delight in God's law;23 but I see another law at work in the members of my body, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin at work within my members.24 What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body of death?25 Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, I myself in my mind am a slave to God's law, but in the sinful nature a slave to the law of sin.
As apostle Paul is saying, we have no power to conquer sins of our own, so we need the Holy Spirit everywhere we go, we do in our lives:
Life Through the Spirit: Romans 8:1-4: "Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus,2 because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life set me free from the law of sin and death. 3 For what the law was powerless to do in that it was weakened by the sinful nature,God did by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful man to be a sin offering, And so he condemned sin in sinful man,4 in order that the righteous requirements of the law might be fully met in us, who do not live according to the sinful nature but according to the Spirit."
What God wants to avoid anyone to do is to push the Jewish laws and traditions or regulations like physical circumcision to us, the Gentiles as shown in Acts 15; their demands are not of God; however, we must keep the Law of Justice and Mercy from God's commandments as our obedience thus that applies to all nations, the Jews and the Gentiles:
Acts 15: "Some men came down from Judea to Antioch and were teaching the brothers: "Unless you are circumcised, according to the custom taught by Moses, you cannot be saved." 2 This brought Paul and Barnabas into sharp dispute and debate with them. So Paul and Barnabas were appointed, along with some other believers, to go up to Jerusalem to see the apostles and elders about this question.3 The church sent them on their way, and as they traveled through Phoenicia and Samaria, they told how the Gentiles had been converted. This news made all the brothers very glad.4 When they came to Jerusalem, they were welcomed by the church and the apostles and elders, to whom they reported everything God had done through them.5 Then some of the believers who belonged to the party of the Pharisees stood up and said, "The Gentiles must be circumcised and required to obey the law of Moses."
6 The apostles and elders met to consider this question.7 After much discussion, Peter got up and addressed them: "Brothers, you know that some time ago God made a choice among you that the Gentiles might hear from my lips the message of the gospel and believe. 8 God, who knows the heart, showed that he accepted them by giving the Holy Spirit to them, just as he did to us.9 He made no distinction between us and them, for he purified their hearts by faith. 10 Now then, why do you try to test God by putting on the necks of the disciples a yoke that neither we nor our fathers have been able to bear? 11 No! We believe it is through the grace of our Lord Jesus that we are saved, just as they are."....It seemed good to the Holy Spirit and to us not to burden you with anything beyond the following requirements: 29 You are to abstain from food sacrificed to idols, from blood, from the meat of strangled animals and from sexual immorality. You will do well to avoid these things."
Also, in Galatians 2, God revealed to us that we don't follow the Jewish laws only, not His Law of Justice and Mercy. Please read my last e-mail to confirm that in other Scriptures (see attached file "Letter to Pastor").
Pastor, please fearfully come before God to divide the Word of Truth correctly. You must teach the Holy Spirit to everyone so that they can obey the Law. This is a big issue for us to teach righteously to all people and holiness and godliness must be in the lives of all Christians by asking the Holy Spirit to empower their lives. It is not about the success of a church based on big number of attendance but on number of disciples.
I pray that you will listen and obey God only and handling the Word of God seriously with the fear of the Lord and may the Lord fill you with His Spirit everyday of your life to bring all truth to you, In Jesus' name I pray Amen!
Please contact me and see if we can meet together with your wife and or your secretary. Or call me so that we can talk over the phone. Thank you!"

"At the end of our lives, the only thing that will matter is our faith in God. Did we truly have faith? Were we good Christians? These are important questions that are going to be answered... so start living a happy, positive life now. :)"
"Some folks in this day and time, Say that God has changed - No never! My God tells us in His Word. He's the same yesterday, today and forever! They say there are other ways. To get through Heaven's gate. I pray that Jesus goes to them. Before it is too late! It's God's will that all should know that. For us there is a place. He wants you to call on Jesus. To find out about His grace! The saving grace available to all. Who turn away from their sin. And ask Jesus into their heart. Then they let Him live within. But Jesus is the only Door. Through which we attain the prize. Of life forever in the presense of God. In His Heaven beyond the skies!"
In Increasing Glory of Jesus Christ,
Pastor/Prophetess Edna "Esther" Ng, your servant and God's friend
