A year ago we had a revival conference in Taiwan called the “Festival of God’s Power”. There I did a workshop on divine healing. The night before the workshop, the Holy Spirit told me that in my workshop the next day there would be a woman about 50-year-old who had one leg shorter than the other and a ruptured disc in her back/spine. I was to call her out of the crowd and pray for her healing. I had no idea honestly what would happen, but I knew I had to obey by faith. The next day, I gave the word of knowledge during my healing session with about 1,500 in the training… When I gave the word of knowledge of a 50-year-old woman with one leg shorter than the other and a ruptured disc, low and behold, this 50-year-old woman w/ everything I named came straggling slowly to the front of the stage…  Read more...

During this last trip to Asia I’ve been having a lot of time of reflection. I’ve been able to visit many nations where I’ve had a deep history, certain memories and cherished relationships. At the same time, I’m realizing the Jaeson Ma who entered into the ministry nearly 10 years ago, is definitely not the same Jaeson Ma today. I’ve learned a lot through successes, failures, victories and many mistakes. Through it all, I’m grateful and I feel I’ve become a better man. I still have a lot to learn for sure, but one thing I’m learning is that although many doors I have felt closed on my life, new ones are beginning to open. In the past I used to focus so much on what could have been, what should have been or what didn’t happen, yet today I have the mentality that I simply need to trust God that He has the best in store. I don’t need to dwell on the past, I simply need to trust God with my future. None of us have all the answers, but that is why “faith” is a necessity in our lives. We have to stop looking at the past, we have to stop looking at what is not, we have to stop focusing on our disappointments, or focusing on the closed doors and BELIEVE in the hope that God doesn’t just have something good for us, but He has the BEST for us. I can look back at every good and bad thing that has happened in my life thus far and be thankful for it. Yet, I don’t want to dwell on the past, I want to be present to the joys I have to relish in right now. I am optimistic about the future. I can’t explain it, but I feel like I’ve matured in many ways and that I am coming into a manhood that God has prepared for me… the door is open and I’m going to walk through it. The possibilities of what could be will never be known unless I let go of the old and take a chance with the new… I’m willing, I’m open and I’m ready Lord… take me there!

EAST WEEK #12 "NO EXCUSES, TAKE RESPONSIBILITY"

East Week #12 ~ “Take Responsibility. No excuses just do it!” 

Have you ever struggled trying to change yourself? It seemed that the more you tried to change the more you didn’t succeed at changing. In fact, sometimes you feel like it’s no use because you have been trying your whole life to change a bad habit, a personal struggle, or a repeating problem to no avail? 

For most of my life I have always blamed my problems on past experiences, misfortune, and others. I would explain to others that I was not good at taking care of myself because I didn’t grow up in a good home environment. Or, I would tell others that I didn’t exercise because I was too busy. Or, I couldn’t stop a bad habit because I just couldn’t. Does this sound familiar? 

We love to make excuses as human beings because it makes us feel better about ourselves. It puts the blame on others, instead of the blame upon our selves. The problem is, the more we make excuses the more we will continually live in deception. Often times, I catch myself telling others, “I can’t stop it, it’s just who I am, it’s how I was raised, or I’m trying my best.” Yet, I realize every time I say, “I can’t or I’m trying” it is just an excuse to avoid responsibility.   Read more...

WHAT MAKES MINISTRY FULFILLING IS NOT JUST THE IMPACT OF LIVES BEING CHANGED. BUT MORE SO, WHAT MAKES MINISTRY AND SERVING GOD A JOY IS THE RELATIONSHIPS THAT IT BRINGS. IF I DIDN’T HAVE MY SPIRITUAL FAMILY & FRIENDS TO SERVE “WITH” … EVERYTHING I DID WOULD BE EMPTY. CHRISTIANITY IS ABOUT “RELATIONSHIPS” ITS NOT JUST ABOUT SERVING GOD, ITS ABOUT SERVING WITH GOD AND WALKING WITH THOSE HE HAS BROUGHT YOU INTO RELATIONSHIP WITH TO SERVE HIS PURPOSES. LIFE IS MEANINGFUL WHEN WE HAVE TRUE FRIENDS THAT LOVE US FOR WHO WE ARE, NOT WHAT WE CAN DO. I FIND IT A GREAT HONOR TO HAVE SERVED IN INDONESIA AT THE “ARMY OF GOD” AND “ASIA FOR JESUS” CONFERENCE WITH MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS BELOW…. BEHIND ALL THE MINISTRY ACTION, WE HAD SOME GOOD TIMES EATING, GOOFING AROUND AND ENJOYING EACH OTHER’S PRESENCE…GOD IS GREAT!
