Prophetic Encounters & Words

As a House of Prayer, we gather weekly to hear God for what it is He desires to speak to us for the time ahead. As we receive from Him, we corporately discern, interpret, and put the words together at the end of each year. At the end of the year 2021, this is what we believe God is saying for the coming season.

Behold, I am doing a new thing. The stage is set for a decade of historic and unprecedented transitions. For you are standing on the crest of the wave of My move of the Spirit where many of My prophetic promises for your generation are about to actualize. For many have persevered in delay but now is the season to persevere in intensity. It will be the most glorious yet most challenging time, according to My biblical End-Time narrative, that I have pre-ordained for your generation.

Have I not spoken? Have I not made known to you? Shall you not see it?

Do not fear, for I am with you! Do not quit, for My grace is sufficient for you! I, the LORD of Hosts, am inviting you to be the burning and the shining lamps for such a time as this. You shall be My vessels of peace and joy in these troubled times. You shall be My conduits of light and hope to a desperate and darkened world. This is an invitation unto a privileged position of partnering with a King.

Will you say “yes” to a season of preparation unto commission?

I am summoning you to embrace a season of Preparation for the Times! Now is the Kairos moment to engage Me in vigorous training. Now is the critical hour to cultivate absolute confidence and relentless trust in My leadership that is necessary for the time yet to come. It is in having deep confidence in My leadership, standing upon My Word and having clarity in My End-Time narrative that will stabilize your heart and strengthen your feet in a world that will be filled with temptation, confusion, fear, deception and an unprecedented level of spiritual darkness. For I am drawing you into a season of hiddenness and into My school of the Spirit in the place of wilderness so that you may acquire divine strength, godly character and the fear of the Lord!

Do not say that you still have time or that this is not the time! Do not be casual but be intentional!

This is not the time to neglect the buying of “oil”. Have I not instructed you? This is not the time to be dulled in the spirit. Have I not alerted you? Because I love you, I have caused a divine disruption so as to create an urgency for the necessity to cultivate sensitivity to the Holy Spirit. Have you not understood? Take heed of the Zechariah 4 eschatological promise as well as the warning of “not by might, not by power, but by My Spirit”. It is wisdom to fine­-tune your spiritual signal-to-noise ratio unto the frequency of the Holy Spirit. For the Helper has come. His desires to bring forth a new normal and a divine upgrade unto Acts 2.0. Come up higher with Me! For it is My desire for you to see and to intercede from the position of My heavenly Throne.

Will you give ear, listen and hear My heart? Will you choose the act of extravagant devotion?

This is the time to lay aside every wrong mindset that ensnares you and to throw off everything that weighs you down. Surely I will lead and direct you with My righteous right hand. For I am gracious and it is My gentleness that will make you great. If you would yield completely and abandon yourself unreservedly to Me, I will refine your character like gold and silver. I will also give you a new heart and a new name. Have I not promised you a divine injection, instruction and impartation unto a divine upgrade?

Come, follow Me! Take up the cross and choose the narrow path! Embrace My storyline and engage My heart! Be led by My Holy Spirit and be grounded in My Word! This is the time to give thanks and let your praise arise before Me. Surely you shall enter into all My promises for you. For My leadership is sure and My plan is certain!

(This prophetic dream was given to us by a friend of our community.)

On 24 December 2021, someone had a dream for me (Kay Chong). In the dream, I was facing a big analogue clock and proclaiming, “It’s 7:69am!”

The Lord rebuked me through this person with this:

Tell the young man, it’s not 7:69am — it’s 8:09am.

(Technically, 7:69am is also 8:09am.)

God highlighted that even though I had stepped into a new season, I was still seeing through the lens of the old season.

The number “7” represents “perfection”, which points to the end of the old season. The number “8” represents a “new beginning” — we have crossed over into a new season in God’s timeline. The fact that it was 8:09am (and not PM) signified the dawn of a new day.

We need to see that we are in a new season, because out of comfort and the familiarity of what worked in the past, we may continue functioning the way we did in the old season. However, this is not what God desires for us — He wants us to put on a new lens for the new season. We also need a new wineskin in order to be able to move with the Lord in this new season.

On the night of 20 December 2021, I (Kay Chong) had a series of 3 short dreams, which the Lord used to confirm and clarify His word regarding this decade.

In the first dream, a man of God from another nation (who is known to the global Body of Christ) came to me and said,

Kay Chong, you are right. This is a historic transitional decade.

Then the dream ended.

In the second dream, the same man of God came to me and said,

Kay Chong, this time you are wrong. This is not the time to prepare, but this is the preparation for the times.

Then the dream ended.

In the third dream, I saw myself in a room with the same man of God. He told me that he would fight for me and get justice concerning a specific longstanding issue. (As it is personal in nature, I will not elaborate on the details.)

Then the dream ended.

The third dream came to pass on 21 May 2023 when I made a ministry trip overseas and met the man of God.

This confirmed the previous 2 dreams and God’s word to His people regarding this decade: we are in a historic transitional decade, and it is the preparation for the times.

A Word and Exhortation from Kay-Chong Yeo

Key Passages for the Next 10 Years

The Holy Spirit is placing emphasis on these key passages in this season so that they will be normalised into holy conversations unto intercession among His people. The Lord is exhorting us to pore over these Scriptures and the messages contained within them, and gain real confidence in Jesus’ leadership especially in this decade:

• Matthew 24: The increasing of troubles in the next decade
• Psalm 2: Global hatred against God and keys to strengthen against persecution
• Isaiah 19: Call to Gentile believers to stand with Israel
• Zechariah 3 – 4: The grace that is necessary for the coming crisis
• Daniel 11 – 12: Five prophetic workings of God for the End-Time Church
• John 14 – 17: The equipping and strengthening of the Church for the Matthew 24 troubles
• Isaiah 60:1–2: The coming crisis and coming glory
• Haggai 2:4–9 & Hebrews 12:25–29: The shakings of God
• Revelation 3:1–8, 14–22: Jesus’ zeal to set His people free from fake-ness and the Laodicean spirit. This includes Revelation chapters 2 and 3.
• Matthew 5 – 7: the clearest description of how the Kingdom people are defined by the Word of God.

There is no need to be in a hurry to rush through all the passages but we need to get into the emphasis of the Spirit and the narrative of God for this season in order to be strengthened and prepared. All these are really the INSTRUCTIONS and INJECTIONS (divine empowerment) of the LORD.

We have to go beyond mere head knowledge and into a living understanding that will transform and empower us. Let all these passages become normal conversations in our midst, personal dialogues with the LORD and the template for our sacred assemblies in this season.

Three words that God gave in 2021 are — EMBRACE, ENGAGE and ENTER. We are to apply the EMBRACE, ENGAGE and ENTER [1] principles for these passages. The EPIC WORK of the Spirit in this season is to awaken a lukewarm church steeped in the Laodicean spirit to one who has a burning heart, a real, deep and authentic history with God, and who moves in the fullness of the Spirit!

How do these passages link?

1. Matthew 24 sets the context of where we are now in God’s narrative, though we have yet to reach its fullness.

2. Psalm 2 gives us the picture of the political aspect and Micah 7 gives the picture of the social aspect of what will happen at the End of the Age.

3. Isaiah 19 is the EPICENTER of all that will happen — the vortex and where it will culminate before Jesus returns.

4. Daniel 11 – 12 tells us what God will do IN and THROUGH His people to counter the coming crisis whereas John 14 – 17 breaks it down to specifics. Zechariah 3 – 4 talks about the grace that will empower us to become.

5. Yet the LORD has to deal with the Laodicean spirit in the Church in order for us to step into the fullness that He so desires for us — Rev. 3:14-22.

6. That is why the shakings in Haggai 2:4–9 and Hebrews 12:25–29 are needed.

7. Matthew 5 – 7 is the Sermon on the Mount, which prepares and equips us to be the Kingdom people for the coming of the Kingdom of God.

The Response that is Needed – Be Zealous and Repent!

The LORD has made it so clear to us through His Word and especially in 2020 during the global pandemic. We can’t say that “We don’t know… we can’t see and we still have time”, etc. The issue is that we have not really responded.

The LORD has been very gracious and kind. However, His patience has to lead to a response in us. Romans 2:4 says, “Or do you despise the riches of His goodness, forbearance, and longsuffering, not knowing that the goodness of God LEADS you to repentance?”

The reality is that we can no longer say that we don’t know and also that we don’t know what to do. If we would seriously embrace and engage the LORD with all these Words, we will be alright. However, we have to be ZEALOUS in responding. Jesus said in Revelation 3:19, “As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten. Therefore BE ZEALOUS and repent.”

His Words are strong and sharp, yet tender and out of a pastoral heart. There is a huge difference between being “nice” vs. being “kind and loving”. Out of God’s pastoral heart, He is bringing us through a preparation process.

The preparation process of the LORD is never nice and easy but good for us IF we yield. The most un-pastoral and unloving words for the now are “Slowly, it’s ok. You are doing awesome. You still have time. Don’t worry about it. You can slowly sort out your business. Please don’t get hurt”.

Placebo by Howard Pittman

The Lord highlighted this particular book to us — Placebo by Howard Pittman. It will be good for us to read and take seriously. More than reading it to do a book review, we need to pick up the messages that the LORD was speaking through Howard Pittman and back it up with Scripture so that we can apply them in our lives. Pay attention to the messages in the book. It’s primarily about the Church of Laodicea. One of the messages was that the Church is filled with sugar-coated and nice messaged disguised as “being loving and kind”.

Lay hold of what God has laid hold of us. There will be grace!

Many of us may say that there is so much to read… Precisely! If we don’t start the process now, the backlog will increase and we will eventually be overwhelmed! Bless you with Zechariah 3 – 4 grace!

Take this seriously. Things will not get better but we can and must grow stronger. We can and must burn hotter. We can and must shine brighter. We can by the grace of God, and if we respond zealously in accordance to His heart!

The wisest thing for all of us to do is this: SET A PLAN and REACH FOR IT:
1. Plan out a 10-year timeline in EMBRACING and ENGAGING the LORD through these passages.

2. Know clearly what you want to SEE in and for yourself in light of these promises at the end of the 10 years.

Doing this roughly and with no certainty is no longer good enough. Intentionality and sincerity are no longer good enough. In 10 years’ time, WHAT IS THE REALITY THAT YOU WANT TO SEE and POSSESS in your life? DON’T BE IN A HURRY… YET DON’T BE CASUAL!

Last but not least, as we prepare ourselves, may we also seek to be His voice and prepare many others too!

There is a lot… but can we drop any of these? No! The key is Matthew 6:22. If we don’t set our hearts on the one thing [2], and set it as the CENTER of the “many things” in our lives, we won’t live it out even at the end of 10 years.

If we choose the one thing that is necessary, the many things will begin to fall in place. So we have to begin to place the “one thing” at the center before we set the 10-year plan. Then we will have clarity.

This prophetic dream is the first part to what the Lord is speaking to us for the historic transitional decade ahead.

The second part was given in an open vision on January 6, 2022 — The Jeremiah 23:18 Hour.

The third part was given through a prophetic encounter on January 6, 2023 — The Psalm 23 Table.

A door was opened and I was taken in my spirit to the Table of the LORD (Songs 2:4–7) where I dined with Jesus. It was also the Revelation 3:20 Table!

(This is an invitation to whoever will zealously open the “door” of our hearts to Jesus.)

As I was at the Table, Jesus instructed me to take time to feast at His Table in order to have strength for what is to come, for this is required to enter into His invitation in this divine moment. The LORD insisted that I should pay utmost attention to LISTENING AND DIALOGUING with Him.

(Both are the keys to grow deep in the LORD: the “Isaiah 55:1–3 listening” and the “John 15 abiding”.)

Suddenly the wind of the Spirit blew on a book on the Table. A few titles came forth — Zechariah 3–4, John 14–17, Revelation 1–5, etc. It was so swift that I could not lay hold of all of them, but I knew that they were the passages of Scripture that the Holy Spirit is highlighting and emphasizing. The LORD spoke, “Come, listen carefully to Me, eat what is good, incline your ear to Me and hear! Abide in Me and let these Words abide in you!”

Then I was given a lamp that was filled with oil!

Before I realized, I was taken in the spirit and was transported with the burning and shining lamp to many places with many people. The people looked weary, weak, beaten, run-down, oppressed, etc.

(Very much like Matthew 9:35–38.)

I was instructed by the Spirit to attach the lamp onto my back. Then I led them to a grand palace with many Tables of the LORD where the people were fed. The people became strong and arose as an army in white garments, shining like stars.

Immediately I was taken in the spirit to another place but the lamp was nowhere to be found. I panicked and began to search frantically…

Then a voice spoke so clearly and distinctly with authority to me: “Kay-Chong, do not focus on the lamp on the outside. I am giving you the light now as you diligently buy oil. It is what is inside and what is internal that matters. You have to be real, deep and authentic in your walk with Me. I AM increasing the fire and the glory in you IF you would consistently and diligently sit with Me at My Table and feast with Me. I AM giving you gold, godliness and glory.

This is the Revelation 3:20 moment!

This is the Kairos moment to HEAR, to OPEN the door, to fellowship and feast with Me. You will arise as the burning and shining lamp IF you would abide! Have I not spoken, instructed and led you over the last 3 years?”

I was awakened after the loud voice declared the above.

“Arise, shine, for your light has come! And the glory of the LORD is risen upon you. For behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and deep darkness the people; but the LORD will arise over you, and His glory will be seen upon you. The Gentiles shall come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your rising.”

I woke up with these words lingering over me…

As a House of Prayer, we gather weekly to hear God for what it is He desires to speak to us for the time ahead. As we receive from Him, we corporately discern, interpret, and put the words together at the end of each year. At the end of the year 2020, this is what we believe God is saying for the coming season.

You have stepped into a new season and a new chapter in My grand storyline. This is a season of new normal — defined by greater challenges, fiercer storms, increasing darkness, unprecedented pressures, and uncertainty. Life business-as-usual will no longer be sufficient for what is to come. This new season demands insight, precision, strength and perseverance that can only be found in Me! It also requires reliance on and standing with one another. For this is the John 17 moment!

Do not fear, for I have already given you the key and the answer. Have I not prepared you for the past 17 years? Have I not spoken? Have I not led you? Be watchful, and strengthen what has become weak. Remember the promises and My Word. For I am faithful and I do not change. Therefore, what you have heard and received, hold fast and repent!

The only way forward is to embrace My storyline and engage My heart so as to enter into the new normal of Christianity. Have I not told you that I will change the understanding and expression of Christianity in one generation? Have I not invited you to be part of this grand storyline of Mine which will culminate with the return of My Son, your Beloved Bridegroom? You are stepping into the divine moment which I have orchestrated through interruption and intervention these few years, in order to bring forth My divine instruction and injection so that you may not be found disqualified to partake of this invitation!

Surely My hand is not too short nor My grace insufficient for you. For I will instruct you and I will teach you in the way you should go. I will guide you with My eye. Do not be like the horse or like the mule, which have no understanding, which must be harnessed with bit and bridle, else they will not come near you.

You have been found wanting in the past seasons. Yet it is My mercy, grace, goodness and kindness that I have exposed your lack. Have I not told you that you are not ready? Have I not told you that storm is coming? Have I not told you that there is a requirement to intentionally prepare? It is in My zeal for your fullness that I have put a pause in this unusual year so that you can reset and re-align. Have you not understood?

For I have a much higher calling and destiny for you than a mere bicycle on display in a shop — impressive in outward appearance, full of frenzy and activities but going nowhere. Do you not know who you are? Do you not remember what I have invited you unto? To be My burning and shining lamp! For it is not by chance that you are born for such a time as this! For this is a year of indictment unto invitation. For My Son, the Commander of the LORD’s army is coming with a white horse. I am inviting you to be that white horse to partner with this coming King. Just as Joshua and the nation of Israel stepped into the Jordan River to cross over, you are stepping into the divine moment of Mine!

It will not get better, but you can grow stronger, you can burn hotter, you can shine brighter! For I have invited you to arise and shine. For My glory will be risen upon you. Have I not promised that I will fill My House with My glory and the glory of the latter shall be greater than the former?

Therefore, be very diligent to ENTER into My promise by EMBRACING My storyline wholeheartedly and ENGAGING My heart intentionally!

Take heed what you hear! Take heed how you hear!
