2015 Japan Homecoming

Supernatural Love and Unity

I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one— I in them and you in me—so that they may be brought to complete unity. Then the world will know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me. (John 17:22-23 NIV)

To really love means stepping out of the familiar and loving someone completely different, different culture, language, thinking, nationality, skin color, if we can truly love than is truly a miracle. It is the glory of God that make us one- this week we have experienced and we have tasted this unity that Jesus prophecies! Let Japan watch and believe! 

Well in this gathering once again people from 30 plus nations gather in Japan, with many don't speak English we assembled the worship team - The Holy Spirit gave us supernatural love for one another, by the last day we are so in love with each other, it was so hard to say goodbye. God has graced us to be one in the Spirit. As Caleb says, it was the unity that brought the power of God during worship. It wasn't just the skills, the preparation, or the musicality. It was the unity in the Spirit and faith that brought the glory and open wide the gates of Heaven.

Japan is About the Nations

Why Japan? that is the question I've been asking myself. You know before coming I'd questioned myself, why Alvan? Why would you pay for thousands of dollars just for a 7 days trip? I don't know any Japanese Christians, I've got no connection or even much heart for Japan except the times we pitied the horrible earthquake that take place years ago. I've asked the Lord. To make situation worst, Our home church suddenly decide to host a revival meeting with famous preacher, Todd White, and many others in Fremont. This really threw me off, I questioned God and decide to trust God and went on this Journey.

When I landed Japan, as I looked upon the Ocean and the industrial city of Osaka, suddenly, my heart raised a question, "God how much do you love Japan?" As I begin to have this thought, I suddenly begin to feel like crying. I said, God this is how much you love Japan. You would sent someone like me from US taking a week off from work without pay or any support to this country, without really knowing anyone to simply come and help support God's call in this nation. I begin to realize this is all about Love. Japan once was a demonized and cruel nation against my Chinese people, now we would come to forgive and to pray for blessing that this nation will rise in God's destiny.

God is raising up Japan as a sign and a wonder to the nation. Japan is one of least Christian nation in the world, with Christian population less than .1%. The Christian in the land suffers much, and with great difficulty they dream of Japan being saved. Secondly, Japanese culture is that of a proper, mannered, sober, emotionless, and idolatrous nature nation. To have Japanese saved and follow Christ will have to step over many hurdles. We can conclude that it is quite impossible for Japan to lead the nations to breakthrough. On top of that Japanese are despised through out the world, whether in America or Asia because of the villain they'd played in history. They were nuked, placed in concentration camped, and the shamed of evil they performed with Nazi Germany. Japanese don't like their nationality, they truly suffer from self-hatred. We can see how the enemy have stolen their identity as a true son and locked them in such deep caves of shame. So this is Exactly my point! That is why God has chosen to demonstrate His kindness and power through the impossible and once again show off the great magnitude of His mercy and grace to the principality and powers. God will show kindness to whom he chooses.

This week many miracles happened! As we worshipped with the Japanese worship team, we can see that they had broken through, they entered in such a childlike and simple faith that released the multitude to release their whole hearts to worship the king. They were more drunk in the Holy Ghost than the Chinese. I've never seen a group so childlike, sincere, and passionate for God's presence! They danced with such freedom and hunger for God's glory!! Oh! What a great time we had together!

The Chinese, and the nations are here to witness and helped the Japanese to break through into her full destiny. One of the session when we gathered the Chinese on stage to bless and release Japan. Tears and wailing broke out. The Japanese cannot fathom the love from once her enemy that poured out such love for this country. When I saw such scene the Holy Spirit gripped my heart so deeply and I begin to travail and wail for Japan in the Love of God with the intercessors. Father God is birthing a new Japan in this hour. He is redeeming the history and making all things new, and He will raise Japan up once again as He intended, to be a blessing to the nations.

The Breakthrough is Here

The Lord showed me couple visions - I saw as we were dancing and singing the ancient sound we are helping Japan to breakthrough ancient stronghold. I saw such huge ancient doors that reaches to the sky are being pushed open as we worshipped and danced in the Spirit. Sure enough, the natives came on stage to release their traditional danced and song, as the Indian and Egyptian released their ancient sound, the drums begin to release the ancient rhythm truly the foundation of Japan is shaken. A news report came later that told that during the time we worshipped on the bottom of Fuji Mountain was shaken 90 plus times, and it shook the very foundation of the worship of the Sun god. God is making a statement here. Once again the heavens are cleared and Japan can hear clearly from the God of Heaven again. When we came out from the meeting the sky became brighter, the whole landscape are filled with the visible glory of the Lord, we know that God has done mighty things in that land.

I remembered the afternoon we sang "How Great is Our God" with the Korean and Chinese language the flood of worship and praise overwhelmed the masses, it sounded like a roar towards heaven. From that point on such breakthrough in worship, God's glory was so present in our mist. We believe that God will once again be great in Japan, and His greatness will be witnessed by the Nations.

We believe as other nations wonder if they still have hope, if God can do something for them, they just have to look at Japan. They will find hope, they will find life, they will see God goodness and faithfulness. God will raise up a mighty revival in this land and a mighty message that will spring forth into the nations of the earth, and God will redeem every characteristics of Japan. Her excellent mind, organization skills, her dedication, and all her craftsmanship. God will turn all of this to be channel of His grace and power. God will use the children to blow the shofar, use the children to confound the wise. Japan will be pioneering the generational church, with Children and young men and women leading the way for breakthrough. God will be exalted through Japan.

Lesson for Friends Back Home

Why Asia? Is this really God's plan? Is this really relevant to me? Why Care? If anyone would study and understand biblical prophesies we would see the important place of Asia in the End Times, especially through the final weeks before Jesus return. Asia will be the leading Christian nations that will resist the antichrist to the end. God really has a specially plan for the Asian Nations in this hour. I believe as we Americans join the battle and drink from their breakthrough, we will find our part in the storyline. Their victory will be our victory too, and our spirits will be awaken to watch and pray. All these are signs of the time. As we join the movement of God in the East, our worship and our view of Christianity will be expanded to Kingdom view than local or western or greek view. God's Kingdom is much greater, grander and purposeful than our little church as usual. Although our church work is important, we must be people of understanding and vision to know this is all about God's Kingdom establishing upon the earth. As we will support and fulfill the Father's heart's desire, God will return the favor and fulfill our hearts desire and bless our nation. We must with all the Saints to comprehend the Love of God as Ephesian says for such a time as this. God is reveal His glory to His bride, to woo us, to purify us, to establish us, so that we truly will be the bride He desires - a multi ethnicity, nationality, and a bride that is mature that care for all that is on God heart.

Matthew 6:33 But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.

Ephesians 3:16 that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man,17 that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love, 18 may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height— 19 to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.

20 Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, 21 to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.
