Welcome to Anton Nicholas Prayer Ministry |
| Profile of Benedict Ponniah: (My Grandfathers nephew). Did Malaya miss out on an elite Malaysian becoming Secretary General of the United Nations. |
Do watch this video of Anton speaking on YouTube showing exactly what was, in preparation, prophetically and strategically shared about The Holy Ghost at the gathering in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. View why he received their rapt attention. The first segment of the video is shown below. A portion of the 2010 prophetic word is cited within the video. TO READ the whole prophecy press this Link. TO VIEW the remaining three segments please follow this Link
View the video above to see why a reference is made to Rev: Jean Darnall. This was the lady who taught Anton a lot about the Holy Ghost. She is currently a Pastoral Elder with Pastor Jack Hayford. Pastor Jack was the founding Pastor of The Church On The Way in Van Nuys, California. Jean was one time an Associate Pastor at the world famous Angelus Temple originally founded by Aimee Semple McPherson. We did note that during July 2010 another lady, Rev:Tammy Dunahoo was appointed General Supervisor of this Pentecostal Denomination. Ephesians, Chapter 3 verse 14 For this reason I kneel before the Father, 15) from whom his whole family in heaven and on earth derives its name. Our Prayer Foundation is based on this premise: is to inter- link the following spiritual truths — a life of being totally aware of the sweet Presence of God the Holy Ghost, study the Word of God diligently and pray in the Holy Spirit, with a ministry of Proclaiming the Kingdom of God in all circumstances and opportunities to save the precious people. From us, may come forth contemplata tradere: From our meditation, dwelling in the Presence of God “ may we humbly pass on the fruits of meditation and contemplation” that one day, (Please Lord Jesus) we “speak only of Jesus or with Jesus". 1 Corinthians Chapter 6 verse 17 : but he who unites himself with the Lord is one with him in spirit. The spoken Word of the Lord was forthright and resolute,( Read Below): We need to plant here without any optional caveats the challenging words of A. W. Tozer, “It is doubtful that God canuse anyone greatly until He has hurt him deeply".
On Sunday morning's we, (our family's picture is at the bottom of this page) faithfully attended Church. We attended morning service today, 1st March 2009, customarily called St. David’s Day. The Pastor spoke on the theme of spiritual warfare, from Ephesians Chapter 6 verses 10 -23. He shared that there are 400 times in the New Testament where The Christian life is somehow described as a battle. The local Church has become dangerous to the evil one, for two large movements started even among the very streets of South East London. One was called the Salvation Army, where Catherine Booth preached her first sermon outside on the common near St Marks Church, Kennington. Then with William Booth they commenced the largest explosion of Church growth English history has ever seen, and it impacted the whole world. Another Church organization called Ichtus and the associated March For Jesus started in the very streets of SE London. Notwithstanding, Spurgeon also commenced his preaching in SE London. He also cited cases of intense warfare that the congregation were now experiencing, examples being fires spontaneously breaking out in members homes and children unexpectedly becoming seriously ill. The reason why I am mentioning this is because I had absolutely no idea that he was going to speak on this theme. It was during the same week that I had earlier posted This link:
For over 13 years Dad faithfully prayed and spoke the Word of our Lord aloud (the verses of the bible) every day, together with Jannine. Dad coached her on how to articulate the biblical verses, oozing and speaking them, percolated with the sweet fragrance of the Holy Spirit. To discern whether Dad has done a successful job, do hear a short rendition of her public reading at All Saints Church, Peckham on 19 July 2009 at the 10 am service:
Below is a recording of Jannine reading Psalm 102 ( Jannine is now an undergraduate at St. John's College, University of Cambridge.) Press the play (arrow on the left) button below.
The wise words of Dr. Howard G. Hendricks. a) You cannot impart what you do not possess. b) If your Christianity does not work at home, then it does not work at all: then don’t bother to export it!!
Below is a clip of Dad reading from Philippians Chapter 2 verses 19-24. (Read publicly at All Saints Church on 15th November 2009: This was the day our Church held our own International Lunch Day in the Church hall.) Press the play (arrow on the left) button below.
Imagine this: ( to appreciate why its so unbelievable read this LINK: the BBC television, are coming to do a “Live” national broadcast of the Sunday morning service at All Saint’s Church, Peckham on Pentecost Sunday, 23 May 2010. It will be zoomed into the exosphere from 10 to 11 am. If you are watching the TV service , you might spot our family sitting at our usual pew at the back. We have been fellowshipping at All Saints for about 9 ½ years. Press this LINK to arouse your interest on how through a Divine intervention we got involved with this church. We have specifically kept a very low profile although we are faithful members.
It is such a dramatic contrast when we travel to minister the Word of God abroad especially South East Asia as our lifestyle metamorphoses into a striking variation. A transformation takes place. We teach and pray for restoration to the broken hearted, the sick and the infirmed. In certain churches with the pastor's permission we proclaim and declare the prophetic Word. Any individual that comes our way we invariably pray for them, concluding with an encouraging prophetic word. The family is fascinated by my quiet demeanour when in church in London, England. Although they are keenly observant that the passion to minister the name of Jesus transposes itself, for a role change occurs when I minister as a cyberspace internet missionary/ evangelist. For this website is very active and visitors are viewing this space from various parts of the world. The precise statistics are at the very end of this page. Just suffice to state that to date we have received more than 550,000 hits from all over the world since its inauguration in August 2002.Thanks be to God! These figures are a pleasant surprise to me given the fact that I absolutely had no knowledge on how to operate a computer in 2002. For my competency on computers was approximately non-functional. I self taught with great help from our children.
Read this self explanatory e-mail I received from my former classmate in Malaysia: From Chacko Paul, 24th December 2007 "It took me a few days to digest the deluge of information of you and family- hence the delay ! And to think that you did not even have your own email- now with own website to boot !"
There is a double bonus here in that the BBC will also be recording two further programmes on two consecutive evenings for 'Songs of Praise.' Local Churches and charities have been invited to reveal the life and soul of Peckham. All this is happening in a church where a few years ago the bulldozers were coming in to demolish it!!
" There was a specific occasion on 23rd May 2010 when we sensed a sweet overflowing Presence of the Holy Spirit during the live national broadcast of the BBC service. Amazingly without any prompting or prearranged scenario, the highly trained and skilled BBC crew, comprising 5 cameras, caught me during this divinely arranged moment and I was so thankful that I managed to control my tears from pouring forth. View the You Tube production and see whether you can discern the moment on the video when the Presence of the Holy Spirit touched me. " I love the genesis of Pentecost for I love the Holy Ghost. If you are keen to know the awesome authentic Power of Pentecost than press these below mentioned links: How the Holy Spirit came to our rescue. Pray the Holy Spirit will protect you from people with evil intentionsThere was a man who was unable to cope with his grief and he stood to his feet, right in the midst of an on-going service in front of the grieving audience and shouted 'Then where was your God when this tragedy happened?

Stay strong and press link:Outside Greater London, the Lake District was the first place I visited in 1973. The scenic mountain views gave me great pleasure. My brother married a lady originating from the Whitehaven (Cumbria) farming area.'Sunday 23rd May 2010 will be the final official service for Rev. Frog (Francis), Amy Orr Ewing and their three children. We want to say a personal thank you to them for all their contribution to the life of the church. We wish Frog and his family farewell and every blessing in their new ministry in Beaconsfield, Buckinghamshire. Prior to their coming the Reverend Bob Hurley was the Priest in Charge, supported by his wife, Jane. If you are keen to read the faithful works of Bob & Jane Hurley at All Saints then do purchase a book called: 'Living Outside The Box' ( A Peckham Parable). On 25th February 2010 we heard Stuart McAllister International Director of Ravi Zacharias Ministries rendering a testimony of Amy Orr Ewing on Christian UCB radio. ( Incidentally Stuart McAllister’s episode on his conversion to becoming a Christian is also a terrific read, a blessing and even more challenging, since he spent time in prison for forty days for distributing Christian literature).
Referencing Amy’s fourth essay paper in her final year she had argued that the gospels were indeed reliable and authenticated that Jesus clearly claimed to be God. She had to undergo an unusual process called a viva. In front of senior professors of theology in the University of Oxford Amy had to defend what she had written in her theological exam. After the viva they awarded her one of the highest marks. The Departmental Head came and told her that the reason she almost failed was because in her exam she had destroyed her marking professor's entire life's work. He said, " You argued academically and archaeologically that there was a basis to all these things and it could be established academically".
We are delighted to report that within 24 hours since the live BBC broadcast went on air (10 till 11 am, Sunday 23rd May 2010) this webpage has already received 124 new visitors from all over the United Kingdom and a few from Europe. We pray that the contents brought each visitor closer to our Lord. We are observing that fresh visitors are still browsing and arriving at our website. The Pentecost Festival with its Director, Andy Frost, ( the son of the late Rev Rob Frost) was also directly involved with this live BBC 1 broadcast on Sunday morning The media who track audience participation are reporting that over a million viewers watched the broadcast.
( The above photograph was taken on 23rd August 2008. To celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary we took our family to this grand Cameron Highlands Resort, 5000 feet above sea level, opposite a only spectacular 18 hole golf course, Tanah Rata, Pahang, Darul Makmur, Malaysia. We convey our thanks to my youngest brother Fintan for getting this memorable celebration so well orchestrated!) |

On Friday, 16th January 1999, we were in Valerie’s house in Claygate, Surrey. At 11-15 pm we were about to leave for London, we went to say goodnight to Valerie’s Mum Vera Meilton . It was during this momentous moment she looked directly at us and told us in a rather sweet indirect fashion,--- “please take care of my only daughter”. She was clearly unwell, the final words she uttered to us were “All you need is Jesus.” We than prayed and anointed Vera with Holy oil and dedicated her to the sweet Presence of Jesus. 6 days later she died peacefully at Kingston General Hospital, with Valerie holding her hands.
The final words of Valerie‘s Mum to us echo so closely to the wonderful quotation of Oswald Chambers: “They feared as they entered the cloud.” Is there anyone, “save Jesus only” in your cloud? If so, it will get darker; you must get into the place where there is “no one save Jesus only”

Presently the Nicholas family is worshipping at All Saints Church, Peckham. From 20th July 2003 till the 23rd May 2010 the presiding Vicar was Rev. Frog Orr-Ewing. His wife Amy Orr-Ewing is also the Training Director of Zacharias Trust which is aligned to Ravi Zacharias International Ministries. Occasionally I do listen to his radio broadcast on UCB UK Christian Radio. Ravi is always encouraging and stimulating. The programme is transmitted at about 13-03 GMT, Monday- Friday. Anton at this moment is very involved with some on going projects. Do read a part of a very recent interesting e-mail-2009, from Marigold Rivett Carnac the wife of my previous Vicar, by pressing this link: Its at the bottom of the my snippet. Saida and Anton served, worshipped and led a Discipleship Group at St. Marks Church, Kennington, London, for many years, from the early 1980’s till the beginning of the 1990’s. For some time Anton led an early morning prayer meeting at St. Marks Chambers. During this period the Vicar was Nicholas Rivett- Carnac. Not many people in St. Marks were aware of his family history. His father ended his naval career as a Vice-Admiral and was involved in both World Wars, 1 and 2. He commanded the battleship Rodney and was Rear-Admiral in charge of the Normandy Beaches during the Allied invasion of Europe in 1944. At the Memorial and Thanksgiving service for Nicholas Rivett-Carnac held at St. Marks Church on 23rd of October 2004 we heard Bishop Peter Walker, a former Principal of Westcott House Theological College Cambridge, saying in his testimonial that the wife of the Rear Admiral told the Bishop that if her husband had just made one mistake, it would have changed the whole direction of the war. What an awesome responsibility! Nicholas Rivett-Carnac joined the Scots Guards. He spent 10 years with the regiment, serving as a platoon commander during the fierce fighting in Malaya, when he was mentioned in dispatches. He returned home in time to take part in the Coronation Procession in 1953. This clan of the Rivett- Carnacs were either Military men or Vicars. It's just an interesting note that Nicholas Rivett Carnac served in both capacities. To view the plaque placed on the wall of St. Marks Church, Kennington in memory of the late Reverend Nicholas Rivett Carnac, please press this Link: This dedication service took place on June 30th 2007.

During our last visit to Malaysia, 2009, we stopped to have high tea at the Carcosa Seri Negara Hotel, located near the beautiful Lake Gardens in Kuala Lumpur. We chose to have an English afternoon tea when someone told us that the British Monarch, Queen Elizabeth II and the Prince Consort, Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh stayed in this grand hotel. The first to live in this seven-bedroom/nine-bathroom mansion was British Resident-General Sir Frank Swettenham in 1896. We also celebrated part of Paul's birthday there. It was in 1980 in St. Mark’s Church, Kennington, London Saida co worked as an Evangelist when the late Canon Sir Nicholas Rivett-Carnac, was the Vicar of St. Mark’s Church, ( Vicar from 1972-1989). She was the first individual from the congregation, of over 600, who accepted the calling to do “tent making.” A pioneer within St. Marks, she sacrificed her financial pursuits in order to have the free time available to tell the local people about Jesus. During the initial days of our courtship, Saida was often apologetic by telling me that she had got no material wealth to share with me, except the gifting of an Evangelist. I need to state in here the words of 1 Cor.15 verse 58: Be steadfast---- in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labour is not in vain --although I must add quickly that her recognised gifting was publicly spoken of and declared from the pulpit on the day of our marriage where more than 400 people were invited to attend our wedding and feast at our reception. Please click here to listen to our wedding, and hear what Reverend Nicholas Rivett-Carnac and Father Michael Gwinnell proclaimed prophetically
David John Lamb (see photograph below) was freshly orientated to be the St. Mark's Church Evangelist. We now think that he is linked with Ashford Christian Fellowship in Kent.
The problem was that Saida had a surplus, an overflow of spiritual mothers, spiritual fathers, counselors, advisors, mentors and during our courtship loads of engagement and marriage counselors etc, etc, etc.( She lost her own father when he died at a very young age, (42 years) and Saida was only sixteen months old.). Saida, in hindsight now, after raising up two Godly children and spiritually matured after going through the prayer foundation just wishes that during our courtship she went down on her knees and spent hours seeking the face of Our Lord herself, in order for her to recognize the voice of Our Good Shepherd. The lessons behind this are, if one does not spend hours praying, an individual would not be able to recognize the authentic voice of God. The flip side to this, devoid of prayer, one begins to move into the realm of confusion, distortion, the enemy moves in, in various disguises and without discerning it, one will be pulled into the realm of counseling fodder. If only the counsellors had fulfilled this verse marked below in red, it would have saved Saida a lot of heartache, much grief, torment of soul and intense pain: Acts 6 v 4: '...and will give our attention to prayer and the ministry of the word. v5: This proposal pleased the whole group.' (Fellowshipping with Jesus in the Word and in Prayer.
For its through continuously acknowledging the Presence Of
The HOLY GHOST, constant and consistent prayer,
saturating,
soaking the Word of God that will manifest sound and wise counseling. Anton & Saida travelled extensively, examples being Canada, the USA and the Far East, seeing, hearing and learning from many anointed men and women of God. Anton also led a well-attended early morning prayer meeting for about two years in the upstairs chambers at St. Marks Church Kennington, London, with an emphasis on united prayer visit:
( http://www.antonnicholas.org.uk/audio/empm.mp3 to listen to a prayer meeting). Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brothers to dwell together in unity… for there the Lord commanded the blessing – life evermore! " The format was the Lord’s Prayer. He is presently motivating, setting the strategies and helping to run a successful business venture. This business idea and venture were initiated through prayer and the anointing of the Holy Spirit.
Netcraft, an Internet monitoring company based in Bath, England announced during the month of October 2006 a mammoth milestone was reached. There are 100 million web-sites now with domain names and content on them. In 1995 there were only 18,000 websites. About 47 or 48 million are active sites, meaning they are busy and are updated often.
Heard this on Radio 4: Midweek Programme, 31st October 2007 presented by Libby Purves. Gerald Ratner a famous jeweller who once owned the world’s largest jewellery business commented that out there in cyber space about 60 million websites do not get many hits at all: dismal hits. According to Webopedia, a ‘hit’, also called a ‘page hit’, is the retrieval of any item, such as a page or a graphic, from a web server. Hits indicate in a small way the general traffic level on this website.
On August 28th 2005 was the 10th anniversary of our dear Mum being transferred to Heaven which was celebrated by placing a tribute that covered half a page in the New Sunday Times in Malaysia, which has a readership of more than 500,000 people. We are pleased to note that through this Tribute there were more than 50 hits on the tape section from people who listened to the tape dedicated to my Mum. (May Our Lord’s Name be Blessed). We pray that the words on the Tribute encouraged and ministered to many people in Malaysia and Singapore.
To read the full version of the Tribute please press here: The tape that has been listened to the most is our wedding tape, since we introduced it on our website (July 2004) in an MP3 format. Please click here to listen to Anton & Saida's wedding.

I
recently made contact with a long lost friend, can you ever guess who he
Our honeymoon was a very generous wedding gift from these kind people, the Rev. Michael Barling and the late Helen Clarke. When we knew Michael he was then the acting Vicar at St Marks Church, Kennington whilst Nicholas was on his sabbatical leave. Michael was also the former Principal of School of Ministry at Kingdom Faith, Horsham which is linked to Kingdom Faith Ministries led by Senior Pastor Colin Urquhart. Incidentally I do avidly listen to a programme called, “Faith for Today”, broadcast on UCB Inspirational Radio at around 10-12 am on weekdays. The format takes the shape of Julia Fisher interviewing the Reverend Colin Urquhart. Sometimes it is very inspirational!
Both Michael and Helen booked us into a very beautiful large en suite bedroom at the Harte & Garte Hotel on the High Street at Windsor exactly facing Windsor Castle where occasionally the Royal Family resides. This hotel has individually designed bedrooms. It offers an unrivalled view over Windsor Castle. All our expenses were paid for by them. This thoughtful generous gift will always be treasured! We actually ate quite a lot of steak during this time. There was a restaurant somewhere within the hotel that specialised in steaks. We must confess that we have never eaten so much steak in all our life: past and current!!!
Currently the Reverend Michael and June Barling are ministering in a church near Taunton. The Church is referred to as Kingdom Faith South West, Taunton, Somerset. If you are ever near this Church please do pay a visit!
Helen Smith Clark got promoted to Heaven on the 21st of September 2005. She was in her eighties. We did attend her funeral held on the 12th of October 2005 at a beautifully located village church, St. Mary’s Church, Balcombe, West Sussex.
June Bailey and the Reverend Dr.Robert Ward rendered part of the testimonies (eulogies) during the funeral. Incidentally June used to be our “overshepherd” whilst we were members at St. Mark’s Church, Oval, Kennington . The other two "overshepherding" Saida and I were Professor Stuart Checkley and his wife Marilyn. Presently our friends inform us that the Checkleys are involved in the healing ministry. They conduct a course called ‘Transformed Lives’. Interestingly enough God the Father has transformed our lives. The testimonies on this webpage will speak of our transformation.
Our friend Valerie used to go on holiday with June. She remembers one holiday distinctly when they walked through a farm in the West Country and a terrifying group of cows nearly rammed them down. Now and then Valerie still continues to share this story with us!!! This incident happened in the late 1970’s. Its remarkable how some stories last this length of time!! Valerie reminds me that recently, October 2007, she read about the story of a Police Inspector Chris Poole from Sussex being attacked by about 50 cows. This attack left him with four broken ribs and a punctured lung. This incident happened as he was out walking with his Golden Retriever dog. All Mr. Poole was doing was crossing a field along a footpath.
The following story also keeps surfacing at regular intervals. Stories of this nature have a life of their own. They seem to resurrect themselves. The Reverend Dr.Robert Ward we understand is contemplating starting a Church in Newcastle. Saida used to know Robert Ward well when he spent time at a Christian Community house in Crewdson Road, London, located near the Oval tube station. During one of his stays there in the summer of 1980, (Robert who was then a qualified Barrister) suggested to Saida who was then on annual leave to work as an agency nurse for some of the time and donate her whole salary to Tear Fund. Saida as usual dutifully followed this advice without scrutinizing and probing.( To know why she was so responsive then do press This link:) She worked 5 nights in one stretch and sent the whole salary to this worthy, much deserved and recognized charitable Christian organisation, Tear Fund. In hind sight Saida wishes now that someone had advised her to save part of this money and placed it as a deposit for an apartment. Oh, how she wishes that she could have even bought a small apartment and given this precious possession as a present on her wedding day to Anton. Saida feels that this present would have conveyed her deep gratitude to Anton. (The family’s response is El Shaddai has compensated abundantly). "The source of this deep gratitude comes from Release from severe pain. Just press.
