1/5/18 Rain Down
When as a child, one of the fun things to do was to stand in the warm rain of summer and get really wet, you would dance and sing and kick water at each other, if the ground got sodden and you were near a hill a mud slide would develop and you would slide down it getting covered in mud and you would go home soaking wet, covered in caked on mud, for after the shower came the sun and it baked it into your hair, your skin and your clothes. Your mum or dad sometimes even granny would be waiting for you at home with a “get in that bath, what a mess”. Next day you would go and do it all over again. It is fun to be a child.
I remind you my sons and daughters you are My children, “I RELEASE YOU AND CALL YOU” to have fun again. It is time to take off the masks of seriousness that have been placed over your heads. Take off the robes of religion that stifle the freedom of My children. Go play together, laugh, sing, and dance again.
(NIV) Jeremiah 31: 12-14
They will come and shout for joy on the heights of Zion;
they will rejoice in the bounty of the LORD—
the grain, the new wine and the olive oil,
the young of the flocks and herds.
They will be like a well-watered garden,
and they will sorrow no more.
Then young women will dance and be glad,
young men and old as well.
I will turn their mourning into gladness;
I will give them comfort and joy instead of sorrow.
I will satisfy the priests with abundance,
and my people will be filled with my bounty,”
declares the LORD.
(NIV) Isaiah 63: 8
He said, “Surely they are my people,
children who will be true to me”;
and so he became their Saviour.
(NIV) Colossians 3: 8-14
But now you must also rid yourselves of all such things as these: anger, rage, malice, slander, and filthy language from your lips. Do not lie to each other, since you have taken off your old self with its practices and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge in the image of its Creator. Here there is no Gentile or Jew, circumcised or uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave or free, but Christ is all, and is in all.
Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.
2/5/18 Erased
I saw a large blackboard sitting at the front of a class room, as I watched a stream of people entered the room and began to write on the blackboard with a stick of chalk. The first person came into the room and put down number one and then wrote about something you had done in your past, as the line continued to enter the room one after the other people wrote things on the board, when they line stopped and the blackboard was filled with the accusations against you, I watched as Jesus entered the room and he took up the eraser and cleaned the blackboard there was not one accusation against you left on the now cleaned board.
MY Sons and Daughters I have washed away all that your accusers have held against you. Past, present, and future. You are set free and there is nothing to hold you back from My plan and purpose for your life.
Step out in boldness, and don’t look back.
(NIV) Hebrews 10: 19-23
Therefore, brothers and sisters, since we have confidence to enter the Most Holy Place by the blood of Jesus, by a new and living way opened for us through the curtain, that is, his body, and since we have a great priest over the house of God, let us draw near to God with a sincere heart and with the full assurance that faith brings, having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience and having our bodies washed with pure water. Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful.
(NIV) Jeremiah 29: 11
For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future
(NIV) Acts 4: 29-31
Now, Lord, consider their threats and enable your servants to speak your word with great boldness. Stretch out your hand to heal and perform signs and wonders through the name of your holy servant Jesus.”
After they prayed, the place where they were meeting was shaken. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and spoke the word of God boldly.
3/5/18 The lightning storm
I watched as a storm blew up all around. The sky grew darker and darker, the light disappearing behind the dark clouds. There was an ominous sense brewing in the air, wondering what would come first, the rain, the thunder or the lightning. Then suddenly, out of nowhere, there came a flash of lightning, it quickly streaked across the sky finding a place to alight on the earth below. One after the other, in very quick succession, lightning bolts found their way from the sky to the earth. A sense of anticipation was now building all around, wondering where the next bolt would land. Would it bring imminent danger to those gathered, or to their property? In spite of the danger, there was a deep fascination with the lightning storm.
As I watched the scene unfolding before me, I wondered what the Father would say. As I waited I heard the words of Psalm 19 begin to reverberate around inside my mind.
(NIV) Psalm 19: 1-4
The heavens declare the glory of God;
the skies proclaim the work of his hands.
Day after day they pour forth speech;
night after night they reveal knowledge.
They have no speech, they use no words;
no sound is heard from them.
Yet their voice goes out into all the earth,
their words to the ends of the world.
I heard the Father begin to speak that He has revealed Himself in so many ways. We only need to look and see, to know the greatness of our God. This is a time where He wants His greatness and goodness to be revealed to the world. He wants to use you as those lightning bolts, to bring illumination to the darkness, to bring healing, to bring salvation to all those far and near. Be obedient and look for the ones and twos where you can release His light and life.
(NIV) Luke 11: 33
“No one lights a lamp and puts it in a place where it will be hidden, or under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, so that those who come in may see the light.
(NIV) Psalm 56: 12-13
I am under vows to you, my God;
I will present my thank offerings to you.
For you have delivered me from death
and my feet from stumbling,
that I may walk before God
in the light of life.
4/5/18 Washing in the Fire
A great fire was burning before me, the heat took my breath away, the flames danced bright yellow and orange and there was a deep, deep, red glow from the heart of the fire. As I stood at the side of this great fire I watched as people began to arrive. They had been called, summoned to this very place in their dreams as the Holy Spirit directed them. As each one moved forwards I watched as the Lord reached into their chests and took out their beating hearts and dropped them into the fire, as their hearts fell into the roaring flame, I watched as a plume of bright blue water rose up to the heavens, like a stone falling into a stream.
My Family, “I wash your hearts in my Fire, you will burn with a Fire that no enemy can put out”.
(NIV) 1 Peter 1: 6-8
In all this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials. These have come so that the proven genuineness of your faith—of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire—may result in praise, glory and honour when Jesus Christ is revealed. Though you have not seen him, you love him; and even though you do not see him now, you believe in him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy,
(NIV) Hebrews 1: 7-8
In speaking of the angels he says,
“He makes his angels spirits,
and his servants flames of fire.”
But about the Son he says,
“Your throne, O God, will last forever and ever;
a sceptre of justice will be the sceptre of your kingdom.
(NIV) Matthew 3: 11-12
“I baptize you with water for repentance. But after me comes one who is more powerful than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire. His winnowing fork is in his hand, and he will clear his threshing floor, gathering his wheat into the barn and burning up the chaff with unquenchable fire.”
7/5/18 Behind Closed Doors
Are you blind to what is happening around you in your villages, towns and cities? Do you not hear the cries of despair upon your streets and behind the doors of your neighbours? Hear them weep, and cry out for rescue. Who shall come and free them? Who shall offer them a hand in their time of need?
Yes, you that have been called and anointed IN My Name. I have brought fresh vision to your Spiritual eyes to see deeper and clearer. Let not man be a hindrance to the calling I have placed in you for such a time as this.
Rise up My sons and daughters and take your place, shake off the dust of inactivity that the enemy has tried to keep you ensnared in.
Look to Me for I AM with you.
(NIV) Esther 4: 14b
And who knows but that you have come to your royal position for such a time as this?”
(NIV) John 4: 34-36
“My food,” said Jesus, “is to do the will of him who sent me and to finish his work. Don’t you have a saying, ‘It’s still four months until harvest’? I tell you, open your eyes and look at the fields! They are ripe for harvest. Even now the one who reaps draws a wage and harvests a crop for eternal life, so that the sower and the reaper may be glad together.
(NIV) Ephesians 20: 13-20
But everything exposed by the light becomes visible—and everything that is illuminated becomes a light. This is why it is said:
“Wake up, sleeper,
rise from the dead,
and Christ will shine on you.”
Be very careful, then, how you live—not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord’s will is. Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery. Instead, be filled with the Spirit, speaking to one another with psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit. Sing and make music from your heart to the Lord, always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
8/5/18 Bless and do not Curse
My Family, I would remind you today to not use your tongue for evil, but to keep a tight rein on all you say.
Do not forget Samson who took revenge on the Philistines by catching 300 foxes, tied them tail to tail in pairs and then attached a torch to each pair and set the Philistines crops on fire and destroyed them all, only to have his wife and father-in-law killed in return.
My Family, I would remind you that vengeance is Mine and not yours.
I ask you to forgive those who have wronged you and not to seek revenge by uncovering all the wrong that others have inflicted on you. Even a small innuendo can destroy another’s’ reputation. Uplift and do not pull down, do good and by doing so you will heap coals on their heads, bless and do not curse.
(NIV) James 3: 1-6
Not many of you should become teachers, my fellow believers, because you know that we who teach will be judged more strictly. We all stumble in many ways. Anyone who is never at fault in what they say is perfect, able to keep their whole body in check.
When we put bits into the mouths of horses to make them obey us, we can turn the whole animal. Or take ships as an example. Although they are so large and are driven by strong winds, they are steered by a very small rudder wherever the pilot wants to go. Likewise, the tongue is a small part of the body, but it makes great boasts. Consider what a great forest is set on fire by a small spark. The tongue also is a fire, a world of evil among the parts of the body. It corrupts the whole body, sets the whole course of one’s life on fire, and is itself set on fire by hell.
(NIV) Romans 12: 19-21
Do not take revenge, my dear friends, but leave room for God’s wrath, for it is written: “It is mine to avenge; I will repay,” says the Lord. On the contrary:
“If your enemy is hungry, feed him;
if he is thirsty, give him something to drink.
In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head.”
Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
(NIV) Luke 6: 44-45
Each tree is recognized by its own fruit. People do not pick figs from thorn bushes, or grapes from briers. A good man brings good things out of the good stored up in his heart, and an evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in his heart. For the mouth speaks what the heart is full of.
9/5/18 Supernatural Catalyst
I watched as a person sat at the side of the ocean, just drinking in the beauty of the setting sun. The blue skies, grazed by white clouds, were being overrun by the orange glow from the sun dropping down behind the horizon. The clouds were on fire, their beauty unmatched. The person took the time to sit still and watch until the very last ray disappeared.
Beloved, take the time to sit with me and allow me to show you the splendour of all I have made for you. Allow your gaze, to rest upon the magnificence of the Holy Spirit, whom I have placed within the core of your being, and allow me to show you, your exquisiteness as a Supernatural Catalyst.
I made you for intimacy, for relationship.
Take time with me.
(NIV) Psalm 113: 2-4
Let the name of the Lord be praised,
both now and forevermore.
From the rising of the sun to the place where it sets,
the name of the Lord is to be praised.
The Lord is exalted over all the nations,
his glory above the heavens.
(NIV) Acts 7: 55-56
But Stephen, full of the Holy Spirit, looked up to heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God. “Look,” he said, “I see heaven open and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God.”
(NIV) Matthew 13: 43
Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Whoever has ears, let them hear.
10/5/18 Wind of MY Spirit
I watched as a ship stood silent on the open sea, there was no wind in its sails to carry it across the waters. There it stood, becalmed in the vastness of the deep blue sea. The waters gently lapped against its hull, the sun overhead was hot and unrelenting.
My sons and daughters, many a time we have found ourselves in this same place where we want to be sailing full speed ahead, but instead we find ourselves trapped in a quiet and lonely place where we have to reach out in prayer, and call into place that which we need to move on in authority and power.
So I say to you today, My sons and daughters call unto me, and I will send the Wind of My Spirit to fill your sails and send you on your way again, ploughing through the waves of this life in power and authority.
(NIV) Psalm 104: 3-4
and lays the beams of his upper chambers on their waters.
He makes the clouds his chariot
and rides on the wings of the wind.
He makes winds his messengers,
flames of fire his servants.
(NIV) Romans 8: 25-27
But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently.
In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans. And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for God’s people in accordance with the will of God.
(NIV) John 3: 8
The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit.”
11/5/18 Step forward
This is not a time to draw back but is a time to engage the enemy. The enemy has sought to bring lethargy, passivity, hopelessness and despair into your life and walk.
This is a time to step forward and to shake off all of the things of the past.
Allow the old garments to fall to the ground and remind yourself of those things you have received from Fathers’ hands.
He has removed from you, those filthy rags and you are now clothed in the righteousness of Jesus. He has given you the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness.
Do not let the enemy hold you back!
(NIV) Isaiah 52: 1
Awake, awake, Zion, clothe yourself with strength! Put on your garments of splendour, Jerusalem, the holy city.
(NIV) Isaiah 61: 2-4
to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favour
and the day of vengeance of our God,
to comfort all who mourn,
and provide for those who grieve in Zion—
to bestow on them a crown of beauty
instead of ashes,
the oil of joy
instead of mourning,
and a garment of praise
instead of a spirit of despair.
They will be called oaks of righteousness,
a planting of the Lord
for the display of his splendour.
They will rebuild the ancient ruins
and restore the places long devastated;
they will renew the ruined cities
that have been devastated for generations.
(NIV) Isaiah 61: 10
I delight greatly in the Lord; my soul rejoices in my God. For he has clothed me with garments of salvation and arrayed me in a robe of his righteousness, as a bridegroom adorns his head like a priest, and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.
14/5/18 Clarity of Spiritual Sight
My beloved sons and daughters, where there has been hesitation, and even confusion in your life, even your vision, for the path ahead, has been dulled by the circumstances surrounding you.
I am removing from your eyes the scales that the enemy has brought around you by his lies and deceit, to keep you fumbling in the dark.
I am releasing to you clarity of Spiritual Sight, that will see through the plans and purposes of the enemy, you will see clearly into the lives of those around you and in my Spirit you will be able to speak directly to the wounding and call it out in my name.
I am revealing to you, the open pathways that I have ordained for your life from the very beginning of time. Walk in my footsteps for I have walked this path before you, so be assured and walk in boldness and confidence, for I am with you all the days of your life.
(NIV) Acts 9: 17-19
Then Ananias went to the house and entered it. Placing his hands on Saul, he said, “Brother Saul, the Lord—Jesus, who appeared to you on the road as you were coming here—has sent me so that you may see again and be filled with the Holy Spirit.” Immediately, something like scales fell from Saul’s eyes, and he could see again. He got up and was baptized, and after taking some food, he regained his strength.
(NIV) Psalm 16: 11
You make known to me the path of life;
you will fill me with joy in your presence,
with eternal pleasures at your right hand.
(NIV) Acts 2: 27-28
Because you will not abandon me to the realm of the dead,
you will not let your holy one see decay.
You have made known to me the paths of life;
you will fill me with joy in your presence.’
15/5/18 Unbreakable Fire
Each one of my sons and daughters, are moulded by my hands on the potter’s wheel, each of you are unique. I formed you; there is only one of you!
All different personalities and skills, some will sit and look in awe at the rising of the sun, while others will listen to the power of the crashing waves upon a deserted beach, yet others will read and gain deep knowledge from my word, many will raise worship to my throne, their hearts dancing with the beat of the drum, each created to be different.
Each of you will go through the firing, and as you walk out of those places, where the intensity of Holy Spirit Fire has prepared you, then and only then will you become unbreakable.
Celebrate your difference today, for only you can bring to me your sacrifice of praise, only you can speak life into certain others, only you can stand in the gap.
(NIV) Isaiah 64: 8
Yet you, Lord, are our Father.
We are the clay, you are the potter;
we are all the work of your hand.
(NIV) 1 Peter 1: 6-8
In all this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials. These have come so that the proven genuineness of your faith—of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire—may result in praise, glory and honour when Jesus Christ is revealed. Though you have not seen him, you love him; and even though you do not see him now, you believe in him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy.
(NIV) Mark 9: 49-50
Everyone will be salted with fire.
“Salt is good, but if it loses its saltiness, how can you make it salty again? Have salt among yourselves, and be at peace with each other.”
16/5/18 Our Secret Place
In the heat of conflict, when stress and hardship is all around, when the enemy is trying to block your view of kingdom reality, listen for my voice, hear my words, stop what you are doing and take stock.
This is the time to rest in me and allow my love, patience, kindness, joy and peace to flow over you and those involved in and around you.
My sons and daughters you are my witnesses upon this earth, be aware of the enemy going about as a roaring lion to trap and coral all that he can find, he hungers to feed upon what is good and righteous.
Come take my hand and allow me to lead you to our secret place.
Rest in me.
(NIV) Mark 6: 31-32
Then, because so many people were coming and going that they did not even have a chance to eat, he said to them, “Come with me by yourselves to a quiet place and get some rest.”
So they went away by themselves in a boat to a solitary place.
(NIV) Psalm 91
Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High
will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress,
my God, in whom I trust.”
Surely he will save you
from the fowler’s snare
and from the deadly pestilence.
He will cover you with his feathers,
and under his wings you will find refuge;
his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.
You will not fear the terror of night,
nor the arrow that flies by day,
nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness,
nor the plague that destroys at midday.
A thousand may fall at your side,
ten thousand at your right hand,
but it will not come near you.
You will only observe with your eyes
and see the punishment of the wicked.
If you say, “The Lord is my refuge,”
and you make the Most High your dwelling,
no harm will overtake you,
no disaster will come near your tent.
For he will command his angels concerning you
to guard you in all your ways;
they will lift you up in their hands,
so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.
You will tread on the lion and the cobra;
you will trample the great lion and the serpent.
“Because he loves me,” says the Lord, “I will rescue him;
I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name.
He will call on me, and I will answer him;
I will be with him in trouble,
I will deliver him and honour him.
With long life I will satisfy him
and show him my salvation.”
17/5/18 Supernaturally Transformed
This is a day of transformation for every life, for every wound, left by another upon you and your heart.
This day, yes this day my daughters and sons, the wounds of yesterday are healed forever. They have no right or authority in this “New Day”.
Embrace all that I pour out upon you, for I am transforming each one of you for such a time as this.
Healed spiritually, mentally and bodily, sealed in my Eternity for each of your names are written in the “Book of Life”.
(NIV) Isaiah 58: 8-9
Then your light will break forth like the dawn,
and your healing will quickly appear;
then your righteousness will go before you,
and the glory of the Lord will be your rear guard.
Then you will call, and the Lord will answer;
you will cry for help, and he will say: Here am I.
“If you do away with the yoke of oppression,
with the pointing finger and malicious talk,
(NIV) Isaiah 60: 1-3
“Arise, shine, for your light has come,
and the glory of the Lord rises upon you.
See, darkness covers the earth
and thick darkness is over the peoples,
but the Lord rises upon you
and his glory appears over you.
Nations will come to your light,
and kings to the brightness of your dawn.
(NIV) Revelation 21: 26-27
The glory and honour of the nations will be brought into it. Nothing impure will ever enter it, nor will anyone who does what is shameful or deceitful, but only those whose names are written in the Lamb’s book of life.
18/5/18 The Narrow Path
My beautiful church, you are a living church, filled with my sons and daughters, each one a living stone, chosen for my plan and purpose on this earth.
At times it can be difficult to walk the path before you, the grass looks greener on the other side, and many sidestep and walk on the other side for their eyes have been tempted by the ease of walking on the wide path, yet this leads to destruction.
Turn your eyes back to me and walk on the narrow path, yes it can be a difficult road and even a lonely road. At times you will sense that you walk alone.
While others run after this one and that, their futility of chasing the schemes of men and Woman, who hunger to build their own Empires, in their own Image.
Walk beside me as Kingdom Citizens.
(NIV) Matthew 7: 13-14
“Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.
(NIV) Hebrews 11: 13-16
All these people were still living by faith when they died. They did not receive the things promised; they only saw them and welcomed them from a distance, admitting that they were foreigners and strangers on earth. People who say such things show that they are looking for a country of their own. If they had been thinking of the country they had left, they would have had opportunity to return. Instead, they were longing for a better country—a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for he has prepared a city for them.
(NIV) Luke 13: 22-30
Then Jesus went through the towns and villages, teaching as he made his way to Jerusalem. Someone asked him, “Lord, are only a few people going to be saved?”
He said to them, “Make every effort to enter through the narrow door, because many, I tell you, will try to enter and will not be able to. Once the owner of the house gets up and closes the door, you will stand outside knocking and pleading, ‘Sir, open the door for us.’
“But he will answer, ‘I don’t know you or where you come from.’
“Then you will say, ‘We ate and drank with you, and you taught in our streets.’
“But he will reply, ‘I don’t know you or where you come from. Away from me, all you evildoers!’
“There will be weeping there, and gnashing of teeth, when you see Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and all the prophets in the kingdom of God, but you yourselves thrown out. People will come from east and west and north and south, and will take their places at the feast in the kingdom of God. Indeed there are those who are last who will be first, and first who will be last.”
21/5/18 Beside the Still Waters
Beloved, it is my joy and my delight when I see that you wholeheartedly trust me. When you put your faith fully in me you release me to move freely on your behalf.
I love to open doors for you; I love to guide you in ways you do not know.
I delight to watch you rise up with joy and excitement, expectant of the next adventure in me. Your childlike faith moves my heart and moves the mountains around you. It transforms the very atmosphere where you walk, live and work.
Come let us walk together beside the still waters, and travel through the valley of the shadow, for no harm will come near to you, for you are mine and I AM yours.
Put your faith in me.
(NIV) Psalm 23: 1-6
The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing.
He makes me lie down in green pastures,
he leads me beside quiet waters,
he refreshes my soul.
He guides me along the right paths
for his name’s sake.
Even though I walk
through the darkest valley,
I will fear no evil,
for you are with me;
your rod and your staff,
they comfort me.
You prepare a table before me
in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil;
my cup overflows.
Surely your goodness and love will follow me
all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the Lord
forever.
(NIV) Revelation 3: 8
I know your deeds. See, I have placed before you an open door that no one can shut. I know that you have little strength, yet you have kept my word and have not denied my name.
Hebrews 11: 1 and 6
Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.
And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.
22/5/18 Spiritual Keys for Unlocking Hearts
Beloved, this is a day to step out in boldness, do not hold back, let your voice be heard. Do not let the failure of yesterday hold you back from reaching out again and again to a dying world.
Jump over the proverbial chicken line and speak to your friend, your colleague, the lady at the checkout. Let them know that there is a Father in heaven who loves them, a Father who knows them, a Father who cares about every little detail of their lives.
Use the words that the Holy Spirit gives you, use them like a key within the locks of their hearts and know that He will give you boldness and HE will go before you.
(NIV) Acts 4:29-31
Now, Lord, consider their threats and enable your servants to speak your word with great boldness. Stretch out your hand to heal and perform signs and wonders through the name of your holy servant Jesus.
After they prayed, the place where they were meeting was shaken. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and spoke the word of God boldly.
(NIV) John 10: 26-28
But you do not believe because you are not my sheep. My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one will snatch them out of my hand.
(NIV) Matthew 16: 19
I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.”
23/5/18 Character Building
My beloved, the pressures that you are going through are bringing about My plans and purposes in your life. I am forming Myself in your heart and mind. Do not look at and focus on your light and momentary trials, for they are forming My very nature and character in you. Keep your eyes focused on Me and let the Holy Spirit teach and guide you in all things, even when to take those moments of rest in the midst of the business of life.
Just as I set my face as flint and endured the cross for the joy set before me, so now I say set your face to endure and to persevere, so that you too will enter into the fullness of my joy.
(NIV) Hebrews 12: 1-3
Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Consider him who endured such opposition from sinners, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.
(NIV) Hebrews 4: 9-13
There remains, then, a Sabbath-rest for the people of God; for anyone who enters God’s rest also rests from their works, just as God did from his. Let us, therefore, make every effort to enter that rest, so that no one will perish by following their example of disobedience.
For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. Nothing in all creation is hidden from God’s sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give account.
(NIV) Isaiah 50: 6-8
I offered my back to those who beat me,
my cheeks to those who pulled out my beard;
I did not hide my face
from mocking and spitting.
Because the Sovereign Lord helps me,
I will not be disgraced.
Therefore have I set my face like flint,
and I know I will not be put to shame.
He who vindicates me is near.
Who then will bring charges against me?
Let us face each other!
Who is my accuser?
Let him confront me!
(NIV) James 1: 2-4
Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.
24/5/18 By My Spirit
This is a day to trample down your enemy.
He is not big as you suppose, but has already been defeated at the cross. Use the weapons of your warfare wisely and do not hold back.
Use your tongue to rise up and declare victory over those areas where you have been held captive.
Release the shout of victory that even now is rising in your heart.
Do not hold back, do not withdraw. Move forward in the power of My Spirit. Remember it is not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit that you overcome.
(NIV) Colossians 2: 13-15
When you were dead in your sins and in the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made you alive with Christ. He forgave us all our sins, having cancelled the charge of our legal indebtedness, which stood against us and condemned us; he has taken it away, nailing it to the cross. And having disarmed the powers and authorities, he made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the cross.
(NIV) Isaiah 14: 13-16
The Lord will march out like a champion,
like a warrior he will stir up his zeal;
with a shout he will raise the battle cry
and will triumph over his enemies.
“For a long time I have kept silent,
I have been quiet and held myself back.
But now, like a woman in childbirth,
I cry out, I gasp and pant.
I will lay waste the mountains and hills
and dry up all their vegetation;
I will turn rivers into islands
and dry up the pools.
I will lead the blind by ways they have not known,
along unfamiliar paths I will guide them;
I will turn the darkness into light before them
and make the rough places smooth.
These are the things I will do;
I will not forsake them.
(NIV) Zechariah 4: 6
So he said to me, “This is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel: ‘Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit,’ says the Lord Almighty.
25/5/18 Ever for You
Beloved lift up your eyes and see that your help comes from Me. I am the only one who is your Saviour, your Redeemer.
Do not put your trust in that which cannot last and in that which does not satisfy. Those you love and who love you, cannot fill the areas of emptiness within your life today. They do not hold the answers that you are looking, indeed that you are longing for.
You were created to be loved by Me, you were made to be known and to know Me. Beloved, My heart is ever for you, My eyes search to and fro looking to strengthen those who are fully committed to Me.
Come to Me and let Me be your all.
(NIV) Psalm 121
I lift up my eyes to the mountains—
where does my help come from?
My help comes from the Lord,
the Maker of heaven and earth.
He will not let your foot slip—
he who watches over you will not slumber;
indeed, he who watches over Israel
will neither slumber nor sleep.
The Lord watches over you—
the Lord is your shade at your right hand;
the sun will not harm you by day,
nor the moon by night.
The Lord will keep you from all harm—
he will watch over your life;
the Lord will watch over your coming and going
both now and forevermore.
(NIV) John 14: 20-21
On that day you will realize that I am in my Father, and you are in me, and I am in you. Whoever has my commands and keeps them is the one who loves me. The one who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I too will love them and show myself to them.”
(NIV) Hebrews 12: 11-13
No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it.
Therefore, strengthen your feeble arms and weak knees. “Make level paths for your feet,” so that the lame may not be disabled, but rather healed.
28/5/18 Supernatural Gardens of Beauty
Each one of My Sons and Daughters carries a well of refreshing, living, revival water, within them.
They can be found in the dry and arid places.
Those who wander in the deserts of pain and confusion will find drinking fountains where they were never found before. New pools, of fresh clean water, surrounded by fruit trees will be their portion.
Come drink and eat, be filled and know that I will turn the deserts into gardens of beauty and the arid places into lakes of peace, where the birds will sing and the land of your Nation will be healed.
(NIV) John 4: 13-14
Jesus answered, “Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life.”
(NIV) Isaiah 58: 10-12
And if you spend yourselves in behalf of the hungry
and satisfy the needs of the oppressed,
then your light will rise in the darkness,
and your night will become like the noonday.
The Lord will guide you always;
he will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land
and will strengthen your frame.
You will be like a well-watered garden,
like a spring whose waters never fail.
Your people will rebuild the ancient ruins
and will raise up the age-old foundations;
you will be called Repairer of Broken Walls,
Restorer of Streets with Dwellings.
(NIV) 2 Chronicles 7: 14
If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.
29/5/18 Supernatural Relocation (Take Nothing with You)
Watch as the trickle becomes a stream, as the stream becomes a river, the river becomes a torrent and the torrent becomes a flood as I release my spirit over all flesh.
My sons, my daughters, my friends, my family, be prepared to move quickly into the increase flow of my spirit, you will be carried up in the flood and deposited in different places.
There is a time of transition to new places for each of you. For some new continents will be your vision, for others new cities and towns.
I will raise you up and put you down where I have need of the gifts that you have been trained and honed in. Prepare yourselves to be ready to move, as I will come as a suddenly.
Hold nothing as gain, for you will be called to leave everything behind.
(NIV) Mark 13: 35-37
“Therefore keep watch because you do not know when the owner of the house will come back—whether in the evening, or at midnight, or when the rooster crows, or at dawn. If he comes suddenly, do not let him find you sleeping. What I say to you, I say to everyone: ‘Watch!’”
(NIV) Philippians 3: 7-8
But whatever were gains to me I now consider loss for the sake of Christ. What is more, I consider everything a loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them garbage that I may gain Christ.
(NIV) Luke 9: 3-6
He told them: “Take nothing for the journey—no staff, no bag, no bread, no money, no extra shirt. Whatever house you enter, stay there until you leave that town. If people do not welcome you, leave their town and shake the dust off your feet as a testimony against them.” So they set out and went from village to village, proclaiming the good news and healing people everywhere.
30/5/18 A Whisper carried on the Wind of my Spirit
My beloved church, be aware of the voices around you and do not allow them to leave a mark within you, there a some who desire to speak into your life and circumstances, with flattering words they worm their way into the very core of your being and they leave behind pain and destruction, confusion and doubt. They speak of love and care but come with gossip and lies.
Listen for My voice; I come as a whisper, carried on the wind of my spirit, open the ears of your heart to hear, as I talk into that pain of loss and bereavement, as I hold you through that betrayal.
I love you with everything that I AM, I won’t ever leave you in a place of hopelessness, for I am the hope for your very life.
Everyday, open the windows of your heart, and allow the warmth of my undying love to fill, every nook and cranny of your home. Be filled to overflowing, so that it flows out your doors and windows, and into every house in your street, town, city and Nation.
(NIV) John 10: 27-28
My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one will snatch them out of my hand.
(NIV) Revelations 3: 19-21
Those whom I love I rebuke and discipline. So be earnest and repent. Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with that person, and they with me.
To the one who is victorious, I will give the right to sit with me on my throne, just as I was victorious and sat down with my Father on his throne.
(NIV) 1 Kings 19: 11-13
The Lord said, “Go out and stand on the mountain in the presence of the Lord, for the Lord is about to pass by.”
Then a great and powerful wind tore the mountains apart and shattered the rocks before the Lord, but the Lord was not in the wind. After the wind there was an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake. After the earthquake came a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire. And after the fire came a gentle whisper. When Elijah heard it, he pulled his cloak over his face and went out and stood at the mouth of the cave.
Then a voice said to him, “What are you doing here, Elijah?”
(NIV) Hebrews 11: 1-3
Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see. This is what the ancients were commended for.
By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God’s command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible.
31/5/18 Homeward Bound
Beloved, many of you have planted seeds of intercessory prayer, some a very long time ago.
You have watered and nurtured them with your tears, your prayers and many worn out and bloodied knees. I have watched as you have lifted your loved ones and friends to me year after year, you have never given up on them.
Now I say, “this is the season that the wanderers will return”. The hearts of the backsliders will soften and many sons and daughters will return home.
You will see the answers to those years of intercession for them.
(NIV) Luke 15: 31-32 (The parable of the lost son)
“‘My son,’ the father said, ‘you are always with me, and everything I have is yours. But we had to celebrate and be glad, because this brother of yours was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.’”
(NIV) Luke 19:10
For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.
(NIV) Romans 8: 25-27
But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently.
In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans. And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for God’s people in accordance with the will of God.
