Extract of Ps Peter Tan's Testimony

“My spirit man is not only malnourished, it reflects nothing of the power and glory of my God.”

I have been reflecting about my spiritual life, especially after reading the testimony of this man Ps Peter Tan. (www.eaglevision.com.my/txttestimony.htm)

I know many a times at church, we spoke about Spiritual Awakening, Renewal, On Fire, Moving in the Spirit

I have extracted the portion that caught me especially, that caused me to really reflect the stage of my spiritual life.
It was this man’s fervency and seriousness in (the things of) God that move me.
I know I need to rebuild my spiritual life.


TESTIMONY OF MY LIFE AND MINISTRY by Ps Peter Tan

While I was there I continue on seeking the Lord. It was during that first year when I came out that the Lord showed me a vision of my spirit man. He showed how my spirit man was just malnourished. I want you to know that intellectually I had good bible knowledge. My grades in seminary were always 90 marks and above. So the vision of my malnourished spirit man had nothing to do with bible knowledge. But bible knowledge and spiritual growth are two different things. God showed me that my spiritual life was dry, empty and malnourished. I found in that first year when I came out the Lord dealt with my spiritual life.
That was when the Lord told me to take one year where I read nothing but the Word of God. I took every promise from Genesis to Revelation personalize them and for about eight hours a day meditated and meditated and prayed in tongues and meditated and prayed in tongues and meditated. For one year I read nothing but the Word of God. I read no newspaper; I read no books not even Christian books. And I meditated on the Lord. About six months into that meditation the Lord began to teach about His gifts. How His word of knowledge operates. I began to feel what I call now the tangible anointing that I never felt before. I began to understand that was the gift of the Spirit working.
