Transform World e-Newsletter :: March 2007
 |  | | Volume 3, Year 2007 | Dear friends and fellow workers in Christ,
Bishop Moses Tay, Dr. Iman Santoso and Ms. Lea Santoso, Harun and me myself. We meet regularly every month in Singapore to pray and wait upon His presence for His guidance regarding how we can move forward with the mission of transformation globally.
TWC (Transform World Connections) Center in Singapore is really longing to see the movement carried by leaders from different spheres to join hand in hands to interpret God’s heart in different area of transformation, covering church leadership, marketplace, worship and prayer, education, health, development of the poor, etc.
Praise the Lord,
On Feb 20-23 2007, we’ve been hosting prayer convocation in Singapore. More than 1500 leaders and God’s servants came and we had three different programs running at the same time focusing on Preparing the Way for the King of Glory to come for His Bride.
- Powerful messages from different nations whose experience in healing, revival, church growth and persecution. The prayer focused on Jerusalem, Aliyah (the return of His people), Arab Nations (Sons of Abraham) and the Silk Road mission back to Jerusalem movement.
- The 24/7(Prayer Tower), Prayer, Praise and Worship from more than 50 nations delegates reminds me of “how to worship in front of the Lamb” in heaven will soon happen.
So powerful, so fragrance, so wonderful and deep, so sweet and anointed the nations came join hands and pray together, encourage one another in Psalm, Hymns, Songs from the Lord and in unity with the power of the Holy Spirit. It was really fulfilling the vision in Revelation. Before the thrones, it was the praise and worship of His people from every nation, tribes, languages, lands crying “Holy, Holy, Holy”. It was only can be done when all “throw their crowns” and humble ourselves before His Greatness. Praise the Lord, let’s harp and bowl ministry raise up around the globe.

Finally, Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God. For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds. Hebrew 12:1-3
And, So then, my dear brothers, stand firm and steady. Keep busy always in your work for the Lord, since you know that nothing you do in the Lord's service is ever useless. 1 Corinthians 15:58
In His Love,
Djohan Handojo | |

UNDERSTANDING TRANSFORMATION (2)
God’s message:
People of Zion, celebrate in honour of the Lord your God! He is generous and has sent the autumn and spring rains in the proper seasons! (Joel 2 : 23)
Today you are the same person as you are in five years time, except for two things: people around you and the books that you read. (Charles “Tremendous” Jones)
On the second day of the journey, we will continue to learn about transformation. With what we learn from the promise of God on the topic on the spring and summer rain, we have a better understanding of the meaning and purpose of transformation. The autumn rain is a heavy rain; if we add the spring rain then it becomes a very heavy rain. The spring and autumn rain talks about God’s visit that is almighty. The almighty God will visit us and this will cause transformation for Indonesia. If the spring and autumn rain came down at the same time, it means the visit of the almighty God has come, then the harvesting of soul and the flow of God’s blessing will happen in our life and result will be transformation of Indonesia. The harvesting of soul in millions is also identical with transformation. God had spoken to us that Indonesia will experience transformation, meaning Indonesia will experience harvesting in millions.
Understanding transformation is spiritual awakening that is followed by changes in the areas of politics, economics, education and social life to the right direction. Transformation is not just discussing about person who did not believe in God at first and later become one who believe in God only, but transformation also discusses about the situation in the surrounding region that changes to become better than before.
Feature of transformation:
- Restoration of whole area. Joel 2:24-26, stated that places that are irrigated will be filled with wheat, and places that are exploited will have abundant grapes and oil. Filled with wheat can be said as a material blessing, but wheat can also be said to be a divine revelation. Today divine revelation is given to God’s children in abundance. Then oil can be said to be about anointing and grapes is about joy.
There is restoration in Indonesia. Previously, we did not import rice, very prosperous (thriving wealthy, people happy), but today Indonesia became a major importing country. Locusts come to Indonesia, but when transformation happens, restoration must happen. Then we will eat a lot and our stomach will be filled. God will look after us, and we will not be shameful for long.
- Bestowal by Holy Spirit on a large scale. Joel 2:28-29 tells of the bestowal of the almighty Holy Spirit to all mankind, old people, children, youth, men and women servants, all will be filled with the Holy Spirit.
In the magazine, Charisma, there is an article about Uganda. In the magazine, it was written that today Uganda is experiencing exceptional harvest; up to 92% of its people follow Lord Jesus. About 75% are newly born again. If such an event can happen in Uganda, then God can also make it happen in Indonesia and in the whole world.
- Sign of astonishment and miracles: Joel 2:30-32, God says, I will create miracles in heaven and in earth. Before the day of the coming of the wise and almighty God, meaning that today, will create a lots of awe inspiring miracles in the heavens and on earth. Today, lots of trouble taking place, such as terrorist problem, nuclear weapon issue and natural disaster. But such trouble will bring many people back to God.
- Love God Truly. When transformation happen then the Love of God will be bestowed in our hearts, and will always grow in our life. Deuteronomy 11:13-14, we must love God and be devoted to him with our entire heart, soul and mind. If we do this, then we will receive the promise of God that is the spring rain and the autumn rain, until we amass wheat, grapes and oil. If we love God with the entire heart, soul and mind, we must always think of gratifying the heart of God.
ESSENCE
Transformation is spiritual awakening that is followed by changes in the whole area to a better direction with the following characteristic: restoration of the whole area, bestowal of the Holy Spirit, signs of astonishment and miracles, Love God truly.
REFLECTION
Do you believe that God’s promise to transform our city and people will take place? The promise of God is not for debating but for believing.
COMMITMENT
I do not want to be just a witness to transformation in my town and people, but I want to stand up and be a transformer.
