1/5/19 Displaced
You have been sensing a deep disquiet in your spirit. You are on edge and everything around you does not seem to fit anymore. The opportunities of the open doors are closing with a bang, and people who held you in love are turning cold.
You are trying to hold onto what you have had and enjoyed in this place. This has been a season of plenty, with many new friends, and you have been heavily involved in the transformation of this church, town and even city. But your time here has come to completion. You have done the job that I have sent you for. It is time to move on.
I have planted you by many streams, because you are my Apostle, and Evangelist, you my friend, are a builder, and I trust you to build my kingdom upon this earth, as it is in Heaven.
Let Go! And Move On.
It is time to build in a new place, where the ancient walls have been broken down and the wells of revival have been shut up. I will send you as my answer to the prayers of my people, and from the ruins, you will build brick by brick, and watch as my heart beat of love, restores the ancient wells.
(NIV) 1 Corinthians 4: 1-2
This, then, is how you ought to regard us: as servants of Christ and as those entrusted with the mysteries God has revealed. Now it is required that those who have been given a trust must prove faithful.
(NIV) Luke 9: 1-4
When Jesus had called the Twelve together, he gave them power and authority to drive out all demons and to cure diseases, and he sent them out to proclaim the kingdom of God and to heal the sick. 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.
(NIV) Acts 15: 15-18
The words of the prophets are in agreement with this, as it is written:
“‘After this I will return
and rebuild David’s fallen tent.
Its ruins I will rebuild,
and I will restore it,
that the rest of mankind may seek the Lord,
even all the Gentiles who bear my name,
says the Lord, who does these things`—
things known from long ago.
2/5/19 Comparisons
There are many among my family, who keep comparing themselves with others and find themselves wanting. This brings you much frustration as you look at the prophets around the world, and desire to be them and not you. In my Living Word, I have made known that in the end times, I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh and all will prophesy.
I never created you, to be like another person! I created “you” to be “you”. I have released into you the supernatural revelation that “you” can “prophesy”.
Many of you use the prophecy released by others and tag them to your own name, but I want you to release from your inner core, the words that Holy Spirit is speaking through your spiritual ears.
I have sent “YOU” out to be my voice in this sinful world. “Yes YOU”, not someone else.
It is time, my family, that each of you fulfils my calling and “prophesy”.
(NIV) 2 Corinthians 10: 12-13
We do not dare to classify or compare ourselves with some who commend themselves. When they measure themselves by themselves and compare themselves with themselves, they are not wise. We, however, will not boast beyond proper limits, but will confine our boasting to the sphere of service God himself has assigned to us, a sphere that also includes you.
(NIV) Acts 2: 17-19
“‘In the last days, God says,
I will pour out my Spirit on all people.
Your sons and daughters will prophesy,
your young men will see visions,
your old men will dream dreams.
Even on my servants, both men and women,
I will pour out my Spirit in those days,
and they will prophesy.
I will show wonders in the heavens above
and signs on the earth below,
blood and fire and billows of smoke.
(NIV) 1 Corinthians 14: 1-3
Follow the way of love and eagerly desire gifts of the Spirit, especially prophecy. For anyone who speaks in a tongue does not speak to people but to God. Indeed, no one understands them; they utter mysteries by the Spirit. But the one who prophesies speaks to people for their strengthening, encouraging and comfort.
3/5/19 Transformed Lives! Transform Nations
I have called you by name, and I have commanded you to come out from among them and be separate.
You have been transformed, and your home is as a Citizen of Heaven.
The Nations await the revelation of my Sons and Daughters. The Nations cry out in their loss and separation from me. GO! Lead them to My Throne of Grace, where they will meet their Salvation.
The foot of the Cross, is awash with the tears of every sinner that has bowed the knee before My Son Jesus. He is the only way to Eternity.
I AM sending you out into all the Nations of this World, where you will be persecuted and many of you will be martyred for your faith in me. But when you have done all you can to stand, I command you to Stand, in My Name. You will speak and the lame will walk and blind eyes will see. Cancers will fall from the bodies of those afflicted, and diseases will be wiped clean from nations that have become firm friends with death.
Become the Voice of Authority that will transform every life that has Ears to Hear.
(NIV) Isaiah 43; 6-12
I will say to the north, ‘Give them up!’
and to the south, ‘Do not hold them back.’
Bring my sons from afar
and my daughters from the ends of the earth—
everyone who is called by my name,
whom I created for my glory,
whom I formed and made.”
Lead out those who have eyes but are blind,
who have ears but are deaf.
All the nations gather together
and the peoples assemble.
Which of their gods foretold this
and proclaimed to us the former things?
Let them bring in their witnesses to prove they were right,
so that others may hear and say, “It is true.”
“You are my witnesses,” declares the Lord,
“and my servant whom I have chosen,
so that you may know and believe me
and understand that I am he.
Before me no god was formed,
nor will there be one after me.
I, even I, am the Lord,
and apart from me there is no saviour.
I have revealed and saved and proclaimed—
I, and not some foreign god among you.
You are my witnesses,” declares the Lord, “that I am God.
6/5/19 “THE OLD GUARD”
At times my family, there is a place for change. There comes a time to remove the old coverings and put on the new.
Are you tired? Is it harder to get up each day and carry on? Do you hunger for a new horizon, even a new challenge?
There are some among you who are trying to hold onto what you pioneered in My Name. You put in the hours and made sure everything worked and came together. You prepared the people and brought them to Salvation. You wiped their tears and their snot and wrapped your loving arms around them. You taught them all about me and introduced them to the Holy Spirit. They grew in wisdom and became the men and women I called them to be.
These men and women are now stagnating in your shadow, because you will not hear My Voice and let go the reigns of the Ministry I gave you and called you to pioneer.
It is time for THE OLD GUARD to step down!
(NIV) Isaiah 43: 18-19
“Forget the former things;
do not dwell on the past.
See, I am doing a new thing!
Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?
I am making a way in the wilderness
and streams in the wasteland.
(NIV) Galatians 5: 22-26
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit. Let us not become conceited, provoking and envying each other.
(NIV) Luke 10: 1-3
After this the Lord appointed seventy-two others and sent them two by two ahead of him to every town and place where he was about to go. He told them, “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field. Go! I am sending you out like lambs among wolves.
7/5/19 The Cost
I hear you say, “I will pay whatever it costs to follow you Jesus. Here I AM use ME!”
I have your name engraved upon My Heart, and my desire for you, is to live a life worthy of My Calling over you. I will use you, but are you willing to pay the price of taking up your cross and following Me?
As you step out, full of excitement and hungry for the adventure before you, will you still have that resolve as the people you trusted begin to turn their backs to you, or when you are lied about and your reputation is smeared through no fault of your own? Will you raise your arms and worship in the depth of your despair or will you wallow in self pity?
You are about to walk the path I have set before you and I have cleared it and made the way before you smooth. Step out in Faith and walk as one who knows that I walk beside you, shoulder to shoulder, through every trial and tribulation.
Take My hand as we walk together, lean into me and know My Strength as I will carry you when times get tough, and you become burdened by weariness.
The Cost is all of you, and all of your hopes, dreams and desires.
(NIV) 2 Peter 1: 3-4
His divine power has given us everything we need for a godly life through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness. Through these he has given us his very great and precious promises, so that through them you may participate in the divine nature, having escaped the corruption in the world caused by evil desires.
(NIV) Romans 8: 29-31
For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters. And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified
What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?
8/5/19 The Blank Page
Tomorrow is still a blank page.
Your story has not been written yet, for tomorrow is a New Day.
This day, today, my friend, will come to an end and all the problems and struggles in it will finish with the tick of a clock at 11-59pm. Yes, all the arguments will finish, and sleep will take your tired body and mind. You may drift into a restless sleep or sleep like a king totally at peace in yourself and the world. But this day will end.
Tomorrow, you will rise, with the pen held within your grasp, and you will begin to write the story of your continued adventure. You can stop, or continue, with the story line of yesterday, or choose a different outcome, for today is a New Day.
I came, so that you would have the opportunity to choose better for yourself. As you walk each day in me, you will become aware of the changes in your daily life. And as you write your story, each New Day will be filled with fresh encounter of our intimacy with one another.
Invite me, into your New Day.
(NIV) Hebrews 3: 12-14
See to it, brothers and sisters, that none of you has a sinful, unbelieving heart that turns away from the living God. But encourage one another daily, as long as it is called “Today,” so that none of you may be hardened by sin’s deceitfulness. We have come to share in Christ, if indeed we hold our original conviction firmly to the very end.
(NIV) James 4: 14-15
Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes. Instead, you ought to say, “If it is the Lord’s will, we will live and do this or that.”
(NIV) Revelation 3: 20-21
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.
9/5/19 Justice
I hear your cry for justice, it rises up before Me. You have suffered in the fires of adversity and injustice, and have found, your heart broken and beating erratically. Sleepless nights and, days filled with distress have occupied your waking moments.
I would say to you today, come before My throne of grace, come and receive the justice that is due you from My hands. For I do not judge as the world judges, nor am I swayed by the mind of others. I separate the good from the evil. I understand the motives of all concerned.
Do not seek revenge, let Me make the correct judgements. Know that your concerns are not overlooked or your cause forgotten. I see and know everything. Trust Me and lean not on your own understanding.
(NIV) Psalm 37: 5-7
Commit your way to the Lord;
trust in him and he will do this:
He will make your righteous reward shine like the dawn,
your vindication like the noonday sun.
Be still before the Lord
and wait patiently for him;
do not fret when people succeed in their ways,
when they carry out their wicked schemes.
(NIV) Matthew 12: 18-21
“Here is my servant whom I have chosen,
the one I love, in whom I delight;
I will put my Spirit on him,
and he will proclaim justice to the nations.
He will not quarrel or cry out;
no one will hear his voice in the streets.
A bruised reed he will not break,
and a smouldering wick he will not snuff out,
till he has brought justice through to victory.
In his name the nations will put their hope.”
(NIV) Luke 18: 7-8
And will not God bring about justice for his chosen ones, who cry out to him day and night? Will he keep putting them off? I tell you, he will see that they get justice, and quickly. However, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?”
10/5/19 Restoration
I watched as an old classic Ford Motor car, a model T, was being carefully restored to its original state. All the rust was stripped out and new panels were fashioned to fit exactly as they were, when originally built. The engine was stripped down, cleaned and restored to the way it was when new. When it was finished it looked exactly like it did when it rolled off the production line. A little black car that held a nation’s hopes.
Watch as I restore all things. I strip away the old and repair all that has aged and gone awry. I leave nothing untouched, everything is stripped and cleaned. The old is like new. Ready to do its job.
Do you not know that I restore you? Lock, stock and barrel. Nothing escapes My gaze as I loving repair your heart, will and mind. I watch as you turn your gaze away from the things of this world and again fix your gaze on Me. Restoration is always there for you.
Just come!
(NIV) Deuteronomy 30: 1-3
When all these blessings and curses I have set before you come on you and you take them to heart wherever the Lord your God disperses you among the nations, and when you and your children return to the Lord your God and obey him with all your heart and with all your soul according to everything I command you today, then the Lord your God will restore your fortunes and have compassion on you and gather you again from all the nations where he scattered you.
(NIV) 2 Samuel 9: 7
“Don’t be afraid,” David said to him, “for I will surely show you kindness for the sake of your father Jonathan. I will restore to you all the land that belonged to your grandfather Saul, and you will always eat at my table.”
(NIV) Acts 3: 21
Heaven must receive him until the time comes for God to restore everything, as he promised long ago through his holy prophets.
13/5/19 Restitution
Not only am I bringing justice and restoration, but I am also bringing restitution. You will receive restitution for the things that the enemy has stolen from you. Those relationships that have been destroyed. Your sons and daughters, the prodigals will return. The wealth that has been robbed from you because you are Mine, will be returned. Your innocence restored. Shame, no longer your covering.
Remember, David at Ziglag when the Philistines attacked, while David and his men were out fighting. They carried off their wives, children and all their material wealth. David inquired of Me and I sent him to recover “ALL” that he had lost because of the enemy’s strategy. Restitution came to David and his men that day. A day of celebration for all.
See, will I not bring restitution to you? Will you not celebrate and declare My goodness?
For surely I am bringing justice, restoration and restitution to all that are Mine!
(KJV) Acts 3: 19-21
Repent therefore and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord, and that He may send Jesus Christ, who was preached to you before, whom heaven must receive until the times of restoration (restitution)of all things, which God has spoken by the mouth of all His holy prophets since the world began.
(NIV) Revelation 21: 1-5
Then I saw ‘a new heaven and a new earth,’ for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea. I saw the Holy City, the New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, ‘Look! God’s dwelling-place is now among the people, and he will dwell with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. “He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death” or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.’
He who was seated on the throne said, ‘I am making everything new!’ Then he said, ‘Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true.’
14/5/19 Night Rose
As the day draws to a close and the early evening light begins to dim. The rose, resplendent in its beauty in the sun of the day, slowly begins to curl up into its own petals and covers its heart as the cold fingers of night tries to caress it.
Safely tucked away hidden from the night, it sleeps and awaits the early call of dawn and the fresh morn dew that will bring refreshing to flower and the earth.
My beloved, you, are the rose of my heart, My fragrance sent out on the wind, to carry to the hearts of men, woman and children. They will seek out your beauty, and admire your light and hunger to sense the heart beat within you.
They will rise up early with the dawn, and they will worship me in song and dance. My word will fall from their tongues in power and might, as their hearts are fully turned to me, and they come into full bloom.
(NIV) Song of Songs 2: 1
I am a rose of Sharon,
a lily of the valleys.
(NIV) Luke 12: 27-28
“Consider how the wild flowers grow. They do not labour or spin. Yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his splendour was dressed like one of these. If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today, and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, how much more will he clothe you—you of little faith!
(NIV) Song of Songs 4: 15-16
You are a garden fountain,
a well of flowing water
streaming down from Lebanon.
Awake, north wind,
and come, south wind!
Blow on my garden,
that its fragrance may spread everywhere.
Let my beloved come into his garden
and taste its choice fruits.
15/5/19 Giant Slayer
I watched as a rock, came tumbling down the mountain side, it was big and heavy, and landed with a splash. As the days and years moved on, the rock that lay at the source began to wear down as its rough hewn sides began to crumble into the water. As time passed, the waters became more turbulent, and the stone that was so heavy began to move in the flow of the surrounding water, and it began to travel down away from the source. Its Journey took several years, and flowed through rough waters, and calm waters, as the time passed, more and more this rock became smoother, and smoother, until it came to rest in a small stream.
A hand, reached into the stream, and picked up this smooth stone and four others just like it.
And slayed a giant.
You, my friend, are like this stone. I took you, with all your rough edges, and as we have travelled together through the river of life, those edges have been removed. You have travelled through rough waters and much has been left behind. You have become smoother and the hard edges are gone.
You and I, have journeyed together, and now, I have made you into a “Giant Slayer”.
(NIV) 1 Samuel 17: 40-50
Then he took his staff in his hand, chose five smooth stones from the stream, put them in the pouch of his shepherd’s bag and, with his sling in his hand, approached the Philistine.
Meanwhile, the Philistine, with his shield bearer in front of him, kept coming closer to David. He looked David over and saw that he was little more than a boy, glowing with health and handsome, and he despised him. He said to David, “Am I a dog that you come at me with sticks?” And the Philistine cursed David by his gods. “Come here,” he said, “and I’ll give your flesh to the birds and the wild animals!”
David said to the Philistine, “You come against me with sword and spear and javelin, but I come against you in the name of the Lord Almighty, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied. This day the Lord will deliver you into my hands, and I’ll strike you down and cut off your head. This very day I will give the carcasses of the Philistine army to the birds and the wild animals, and the whole world will know that there is a God in Israel. All those gathered here will know that it is not by sword or spear that the Lord saves; for the battle is the Lord’s, and he will give all of you into our hands.”
As the Philistine moved closer to attack him, David ran quickly toward the battle line to meet him. Reaching into his bag and taking out a stone, he slung it and struck the Philistine on the forehead. The stone sank into his forehead, and he fell face down on the ground.
So David triumphed over the Philistine with a sling and a stone; without a sword in his hand he struck down the Philistine and killed him.
16/5/19 Future Beginnings
My Church is going through a supernatural metamorphous.
The past does not hold the future, but it does show the way to what is to come. As you read My Living Word, and pour over the pages, My revelation will fill your heart with what is in front of you.
Holy Spirit will train and teach you, what I require of you, as we walk together through this time of shaking and, for some, separation.
My beautiful Bride is dressed for a wedding and those who have been invited are putting on their fine clothes, and yet there are still some who make excuse after excuse not to attend at this time.
Time is short, as the wheat and the chaff are being separated, by their own choice and the silence of their voices, as the righteous live unrighteously, and the sinners bring their rule to bear upon all.
My Bride is Innocent and white as the driven snow. No evil or darkness is found in her, only the perfect light of My Love flows from her heart.
The Future is here Today! What will “YOU” Choose?
The Invitations have been sent.
R.S.V.P.
(NIV) John 14: 25-27
“All this I have spoken while still with you. But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you. Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.
(NIV) Matthew 3: 11-12
“I baptise 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 baptise 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.”
(NIV) Matthew 22: 8-14
“Then he said to his servants, ‘The wedding banquet is ready, but those I invited did not deserve to come. So go to the street corners and invite to the banquet anyone you find.’ So the servants went out into the streets and gathered all the people they could find, the bad as well as the good, and the wedding hall was filled with guests.
“But when the king came in to see the guests, he noticed a man there who was not wearing wedding clothes. He asked, ‘How did you get in here without wedding clothes, friend?’ The man was speechless.
“Then the king told the attendants, ‘Tie him hand and foot, and throw him outside, into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’
“For many are invited, but few are chosen.”
17/5/19 Answered Prayer
My Family, as you come to me in prayer, you call out my name in your struggles and fears. You ask, plead, and even beg, that I intervene, and fix or heal, the situation before you. When you receive your answer, it may not look like your request, or even close to what you wanted.
But I answer every prayer as “MY WILL BE DONE”
There are times and seasons, where people come home, and rest in me eternally. If they remained their pain and struggle will be unbearable to them. And yes, you will mourn and miss them terribly, that is why the time of morning is so essential for those who grieve. But for those who come home they come to glory and all pain has ended.
Release them, and allow them to rest in ME!
(NIV) Ecclesiastes 3: 4
A time to weep and a time to laugh,
a time to mourn and a time to dance,
(NIV) Luke 8: 51-52
When he arrived at the house of Jairus, he did not let anyone go in with him except Peter, John and James, and the child’s father and mother. Meanwhile, all the people were wailing and mourning for her. “Stop wailing,” Jesus said. “She is not dead but asleep.”
(NIV) Revelation 21: 3-5
And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Look! God’s dwelling place is now among the people, and he will dwell with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. ‘He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death’ or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.”
He who was seated on the throne said, “I am making everything new!”Then he said, “Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true.”
20/5/19 When GOD says “NO”
My family, there are times when you would rather walk down the road before you, as it seems to be filled with all that you desire, and believe is my will for you.
You pack up and begin your journey with a heart filled for the new adventure, even for the new place or country. As you step out the going starts to get hard and harder still. Your feet begin to feel heavy as if trudging through thick cloying mud and everything becomes a trial. Exhaustion becomes your friend and finally you come to a stop.
You sense deep within yourself, that you have become stuck, and do not know how to move forward. Prayer is a distant whisper as you have stopped hearing My Voice. Finally you lower yourself into a bed of despair and get comfortable.
When I say “NO” I mean “NO”
And yet My Word, over you, is Yes and Amen. The journey into the adventure I have for you is not an easy road but it is a road that I have prepared you for. The trials that you have come to and passed through to the other side brought forth your character to stand in the most challenging places of your life and you came through. Why? Because you brought everything, to me in prayer.
When you walk in my plan and purpose we will be in conversation day and night, there will be no place for misunderstandings and wrong turns. Take your eyes off of this world, and fame and fortune, and fix them upon My Kingdom, My Plan and My Purpose over you, and your life.
(NIV) 2 Corinthians 1: 20-22
For no matter how many promises God has made, they are “Yes” in Christ. And so through him the “Amen” is spoken by us to the glory of God. Now it is God who makes both us and you stand firm in Christ. He anointed us, set his seal of ownership on us, and put his Spirit in our hearts as a deposit, guaranteeing what is to come.
(NIV) Psalm 23: 2-3
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.
(NIV) 1 Thessalonians 5: 16-18
Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.
22/5/19 Testing, Testing 1, 2, 3
Testing, testing 1, 2, 3, “Can you hear Me?” “Is this coming through loud and clear?” “Are you sure you can hear Me?”
“Great, let’s talk.”
“Just you and I. I’ve been waiting ages to get you on your own, but somehow we’ve not had time. You’ve been so busy, I just didn’t want to interrupt you, but you’re here now.”
“How have things being going? Oh not brilliant, well what’s the problem? It’s your husband, your kids, uh huh. The house, the car, money, time, so little time.”
“Do you know I can help you with all these things, people and circumstances? Oh you did! Why haven’t you just asked Me? Don’t you know that My burden is light and My yoke is easy and I am longing to take you into My rest? To be gracious and loving towards you, to renew your strength.”
“Stop! Where are you going? Oh, you’ve finished your list. What about Me? Maybe tomorrow, if you can find 5 minutes!”
“Oh My friend I had so much to share with you. Oh well, maybe tomorrow you might wait a while longer and I can share My heart with you too!”
(NIV) Matthew 11: 28-30
‘Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.’
(NIV) Isaiah 30: 18
Yet the Lord longs to be gracious to you;
therefore he will rise up to show you compassion.
For the Lord is a God of justice.
Blessed are all who wait for him!
(NIV) Isaiah 40: 31
But those who hope in the Lord
will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles;
they will run and not grow weary,
they will walk and not be faint.
23/5/19 Summer Showers
I cause the sun to rise and the rain to fall. Is it merely on the righteous? No. It is for both the righteous and the unrighteous, for I do not withhold from one to give to the other. I love all, but not all will love Me. However, how they love Me does not stop Me from reaching out to them with kindness, love and truth. I long to be gracious to all. So when the sun shines or the rain falls, remember that I am releasing My love to all.
Do likewise and not only love your friends but love your enemies. For my heart desires that others would know that you are My disciples by the love you have for one another. Do not despise others because they don’t look or, sound like you. Open your arms and welcome them in for I love the whole world.
(NIV) Matthew 5: 43-45
‘You have heard that it was said, “Love your neighbour and hate your enemy.” But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be children of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.
(NIV) John 3: 16-17
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.
(NIV) Romans 13: 8
Let no debt remain outstanding, except the continuing debt to love one another, for whoever loves others has fulfilled the law.
24/5/19 Size Matters
My family, what do you measure your faith to?
Is it the four walls of your home? Or the extent of your mind and thoughts? Or is it My Eternal Kingdom, which has no End or Barriers?
If you keep your stretching out, to the confines of your flesh, you will not reach very far and will not be able to fulfil my plans and purposes for you and your life.
Today I call you out into the broad horizons of My Kingdom. Where there are no restrictions upon where you go. And whatever you put your hand to will prosper and live.
When the artist touches brush to canvas, there will be a fresh wind of creativity, and such a new depth of perspective, as there will be no end to your adventure in colour.
When the pen in your hand begins to write what is upon your heart, the poems, songs and stories will take others into the core of My Kingdom, where they will see the revelation of a God Sized Dream for their lives and walk.
The Prophetic dancers and flag wavers will bring such creations of movement, that it will bring a gasp of silence and awe to the onlooker. For they will have no barriers to their movements.
Change your View. And stand upon My Horizon and look to the next with spiritual eyes filled with wonder.
(NIV) Proverbs 8: 26-28
before he made the world or its fields
or any of the dust of the earth.
I was there when he set the heavens in place,
when he marked out the horizon on the face of the deep,
when he established the clouds above
and fixed securely the fountains of the deep,
(NIV) Romans 11: 33
Oh, the depth of the riches of the wisdom and knowledge of God!
How unsearchable his judgments,
and his paths beyond tracing out!
27/5/19 A Break in the Clouds
Today, the dark thoughts of yesterday are being broken up. And as the blue sky breaks through, and the “Son” shines afresh, into your life, depression begins to dissolve and flow away.
Your thoughts and the battle field of your mind, come into unity with the perfect peace that only comes through Jesus. The sound of battle will diminish and finally stop, as peace fills the valley of the shadow.
As you step into this new day, free and filled with Holy Spirit, brightness fills your vision and the weight has been lifted from your shoulders. Walk slowly but deliberately as I reveal My plans for you.
Take the time to sit with me in the secret place, let us sing together and dance. Feel the grass between your toes and drink in the aroma of the wild flowers.
Allow your senses to align with your freedom, for Holy Spirit will teach and train you in all the gifts that you carry.
(NIV) Psalm 23: 1-4
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.
(NIV) John 14: 26-27
But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you. Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.
28/5/19 Folded Away
My Friend, it has been some time since we met together. I look for you every day and my ear is open to your call. I would love to hear your voice whisper my name in the dead of night. I AM missing you.
You laid down your pen and folded the covers of your book. You stopped writing your story.
Hear my call again? You are anointed and blessed with many gifts, it is time to take up your cross and walk and possibly stumble a little, but I will catch you when you stumble in my strong arms of love.
Open the quiet book, and write as the pensmith that you are, the stories of my heart released in you, through the guidance of Holy Spirit.
Become the author, which you are, and were always meant to be.
Come deeper, and begin to hear the beat of my heart and the gentle caress of my breath over your life, know my closeness as the fragrance of heaven fills your being.
Turn the page!
(NIV) Revelation 21: 4-6
‘He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death’ or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.”
He who was seated on the throne said, “I am making everything new!”Then he said, “Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true.”
He said to me: “It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. To the thirsty I will give water without cost from the spring of the water of life.
(NIV) 1 Corinthians 2: 9-11
However, as it is written:
“What no eye has seen,
what no ear has heard,
and what no human mind has conceived”—
the things God has prepared for those who love him—
these are the things God has revealed to us by his Spirit.
The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God. For who knows a person’s thoughts except their own spirit within them? In the same way no one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God.
29/5/19 Supreme Christianity
There are those who do not just sit at the top of the table, but demand their right to be there. They have toiled long and hard to create for themselves a niche within the power struggle of the religious banqueting table. Their seat is assured through manipulation and deceit.
They create a world order that looks and sounds just like themselves, and they will retain supremacy by any means possible, even the destruction of others and other ministries through gossip and outright lies.
The supreme ones, seek to rule over all that I have released to my bride, they command their voice to rule over my people and take their seat upon the throne of the prophetic, all over the world.
I did not send them!
They carry a Jezebelic Spirit of control, and are even now releasing their foul and putrid plans to dominate the towns and cities of the world.
Be aware, my Sons and Daughters test every spirit and word that comes to you. Weigh them against my living word and if they do not sit well with you, place them upon the shelf where I will tell you when it is time to take them down again. Some will even be thrown out into the trash for that will be where they belong.
I AM releasing to you my family a deeper anointing of discernment for the days that you are in for even the elect may be fooled.
(NIV) Mark 12: 38-40a
As he taught, Jesus said, “Watch out for the teachers of the law. They like to walk around in flowing robes and be greeted with respect in the marketplaces, and have the most important seats in the synagogues and the places of honour at banquets. They devour widows’ houses and for a show make lengthy prayers.
(NIV) Matthew 24: 24-25
For false messiahs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect. See, I have told you ahead of time.
(NIV) 1 Thessalonians 5: 19-24
Do not quench the Spirit. Do not treat prophecies with contempt but test them all; hold on to what is good, reject every kind of evil.
May God himself, the God of peace, sanctify you through and through. May your whole spirit, soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. The one who calls you is faithful, and he will do it.
30/5/19 A Resurrected Life
My Family, each one of you are living a resurrected life. You left your old broken and dying body at the cross, and took up your new life in Me. As Holy Spirit filled you with himself, you received the power and anointing that he carries, to do My Will upon this earth.
The path before you is white as the driven snow. This is virgin territory, and no footprint has made its mark here. Step out in boldness and leave a footprint for others to follow, as a pioneer who pushes the boundaries of faith, and opens new grounds and harvest fields, for those who come after you.
Be the voice in the wilderness, preparing the way for Me.
Do not get bogged down by human standards of religion, and the demands upon you to conform to their degrees of acceptability. You were created to stand out and not to fit in, even when at times, you stand alone. Glorify your Heavenly Father, in the market places and the echoing hallways of empty promises.
As My Bride, you are making yourself ready and I hunger after you. Oh that I could run to you now, but the time is near, so be patient, my beautiful one.
(NIV) 1 Corinthians 15: 41-43
The sun has one kind of splendour, the moon another and the stars another; and star differs from star in splendour.
So will it be with the resurrection of the dead. The body that is sown is perishable, it is raised imperishable; it is sown in dishonour, it is raised in glory; it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power.
(NIV) Ephesians 2: 10
For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.
(NIV) Romans 12: 1-2
Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.
(NIV) Song of Songs 4: 9a
You have stolen my heart, my sister, my bride;
you have stolen my heart
31/5/19 National Treasure
My family, I call you today to seek the treasures within your nations.
Stop bringing doom and gloom to the banqueting table, as this is not my heart for your nation.
Lift your nation before the throne of grace and mercy, and call forth that which is not, as if it is. Break the chains of decay, and decree and declare over all the true freedom of my kingdom. As the treasure chests are broken open, and that which has been closed off to the people are poured out once again.
Come into my courts and bend the knee, repent as a nation, and allow yourselves, to stand up, with honour and respect for one another. Put on the jewels of authority, that were given to you as a sign of my love for you and your nation.
Become the shining light in this dim world once again, and open the doors of your nation and stand in the gap for the disenfranchised.
One Nation under God.
(NIV) Song of Songs 2: 4
Let him lead me to the banquet hall,
and let his banner over me be love.
(NIV) Luke 12: 34
For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
(NIV) 2 Chronicles 7: 14-15
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. Now my eyes will be open and my ears attentive to the prayers offered in this place.
(NIV) 1 John 2: 7-8
Dear friends, I am not writing you a new command but an old one, which you have had since the beginning. This old command is the message you have heard. Yet I am writing you a new command; its truth is seen in him and in you, because the darkness is passing and the true light is already shining.
