Hebrews 4:16 King James Version (KJV)
16 Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.
The 1990s were times of prayer. The Spirit of Prayer was with us.
After Calvary Jaya Bp Fellowship was established we attended its services in Section 17, Petaling Jaya, Malaysia.
The young Church grew in membership.
One evening we attended A Gospel Film Show.
It was one that was Spirit inspired and gave great conviction
I was very blessed. Just before the film ended Rev. Lim Jit Thye (Chinese Pastor) asked me to give a brief gospel message after the Film Show. I requested the brethren to pray while i gave an impromptu message
Ha! No time was given except for a brief 15 minutes to prepare and sum up my thoughts as to what i should speak.
Then i remembered the times spent in daily prayer
16 Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.
Yes, dear LORD, this is your servant time of need! Having been to The Throne of Grace and boldly praying (not knowing what to ask before) now we know; and we urgently needed “Timely help” at this most crucial time like now.
When i opened my mouth I immediately felt assisted with an unction of power. And the simple invitation went forth in power
At the invitation 3 people raised their hands to receive Christ as LORD and Savior (Now this has been the practise in JSM & also among the Baptist Churches, but not in Calvary Bp Churches. Bp Churches normally don’t ask for raising of hands publicly in response to preaching)
But that night of nights in PJ 3 persons raised their hands at the Gospel invitation
Among them were a brother called Danny (teacher) and one we could not recall the name now. And one sister called Danielle Ding Lai Yat raised up her hand to accept Christ. To our gladness Danielle later became the wife of Rev. Lee Kim Shong (the current Pastor of Calvary Jaya Bp Fellowship
So on hindsight our time spent at the Throne of Grace prepares us with God’s timely help in times of need
As the song goes
“Thou art coming to a Throne
Large petitions with thee bring
For His grace and power are such;
That none can ever ask too much
Amen & Amen

The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the LORD: but the prayer of the upright is his delight. (Proverbs 15:8)
