1/10/19 The Wind of Intercession

I was lifted up in the spirit, above the streets and the houses until I was high above the City, I watched the land far below me and from the homes I saw words being lifted up from the roof tops, from the street corners they came, out of the churches they rose into the sky.

They came from the mouths of individuals, the words even came from the villages and towns, the farms and the country homes, they climbed into the sky and as the words reached up into the stratosphere they were touched by the wind of the spirit and carried away into the distance. I was carried along with them, they moved as single letters being carried upon the wind.

The letters and words came over a place of darkness where I watched as they began to fall from the sky as rain upon the homes and streets, upon the lives that so need the refreshing word of GOD.

I heard the Lord say “Shout it Out, Sing it, Paint it, Dance it, Preach it, Pray it, Flag it, Sign Language it and Celebrate it.”

(NIV) Isaiah 55: 10-11 As the rain and the snow come down from heaven, and do not return to it without watering the earth and making it bud and flourish, so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater,

So is My Word that goes out from My Mouth: It will not return to Me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.

(NIV) Psalm 96: 1-3

Sing to the Lord a new song;
sing to the Lord, all the earth.
Sing to the Lord, praise his name;
proclaim his salvation day after day.
Declare his glory among the nations,
his marvellous deeds among all peoples.

2/10/19 The Revelation of Kingdom Character

Many of my children have been exposed to large amounts of pressure over a long time. It has been out of that place that I have been developing my diamonds, those of immense worth and value.

Some have remained in the place of being diamonds in the rough, as they have refused to surrender to the shaping and moulding of My Holy Spirit. While others have surrendered to begin with but have stopped short of totally yielding as the process became too uncomfortable to continue. Others have totally submitted to the shaping, never fully understanding, but knowing that the One who was doing the moulding was trustworthy and true.

No matter where you are in the process today, you are no less valuable. Your value remains the same, but the beauty of who you are in me is masked.

Will you surrender fully to me and allow me to finish what I have started? Will you allow me to fully polish you, to allow your beauty to be seen by all?

(NIV) Matthew 13: 44-46

“The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field. When a man found it, he hid it again, and then in his joy went and sold all he had and bought that field.

“Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant looking for fine pearls. When he found one of great value, he went away and sold everything he had and bought it.

(NIV) James 1: 3-4

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.

(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.

3/10/19 Supernatural Remnant Rising

Many of my sons and daughters are going through the winds of change in their lives and in their ministries. There are storms upon storms which are leaving many bruised and battered.

This is a time of transition, a moving away from the old, and the releasing of the new mantles upon my sons and daughters.

We are moving into the time of the remnant rising out of the confusion of the religious yolk placed upon my people.

I say to you today “Let My people go “

(NIV) Galatians 5: 1

It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.

(NIV) Exodus 9: 13b

Let my people go, so that they may worship me.

(NIV) Matthew 12: 20-21

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.

4/10/19 Giants of Faith

(NIV) Isaiah 52: 1a

Awake, awake, Zion,
clothe yourself with strength!
Put on your garments of splendour….

Awake, awake, and rouse yourselves. Awaken from your slumber; awaken from your long sleep, O Giants of faith. Too long have you slept, now is the time to awaken and reclaim that which was stolen from you.

Just as David went out from the ruins of Ziglag and overtook and reclaimed all that was his, so I would say to you today, pursue the enemy and take back all that has been stolen from you. Your health, your strength, your wealth, whatever is yours, today is the day of not only restoration, but restitution.

It is time for my Giants to Arise!

(NIV) 1 Samuel 30: 8

…David inquired of the Lord, “Shall I pursue this raiding party? Will I overtake them?”
“Pursue them,” he answered. “You will certainly overtake them and succeed in the rescue.”

(NIV) Joshua 23: 9-11

“The Lord has driven out before you great and powerful nations; to this day no one has been able to withstand you. One of you routs a thousand, because the Lord your God fights for you, just as he promised. So be very careful to love the Lord your God.

7/10/19 Pizza Delivery

I watched as a large pizza box was opened, inside the box was an extra large pizza, there were four cheeses, pineapple and chicken, savoury meat and spicy meatballs, all cut into slices ready to eat. The steam was rising from the pizza and I watched as hands moved toward the box to take one, two or even three pieces.

Brothers and sisters we are all different in our likes and our tastes, some want only one flavour when others require many, some like meat yet others want salad and then some like spicy and others plain and simple.

Our Faith was made for sharing. We each carry a unique way of delivering the message of Salvation, in a form that another can receive it. Today go and share what you have been given, there are many, many hungry people out there just waiting for their delivery to arrive.

(NIV) Luke 9: 1-3

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.

(NIV) 1 Corinthians 1: 26-27

Brothers and sisters, think of what you were when you were called. Not many of you were wise by human standards; not many were influential; not many were of noble birth. But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong.

(NIV) 2 Corinthians 9: 12-13

This service that you perform is not only supplying the needs of the Lord’s people but is also overflowing in many expressions of thanks to God. Because of the service by which you have proved yourselves, others will praise God for the obedience that accompanies your confession of the gospel of Christ, and for your generosity in sharing with them and with everyone else.

8/10/19 Shake Off and “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: 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.

(NIV) Isaiah 61: 2-3

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.

9/10/19 Hearts Washed in 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 forward I watched as the Lord reached into their chests and took out their beating heart and dropped it into the fire, as the heart 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.

I heard these words “I wash your hearts in my Fire, you will burn with a Fire that no enemy will put out” and “My Spirit will be like a rushing stream to every life you meet”.

(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) 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.

10/10/19 Reaping the Harvest

Beloved, get to know the seasons that I place before you.

There are many harvests for different crops and so it is with you. Use the different tools I have given you for the job. Do not assume you can continue to harvest in the same manner year after year, and get an improved harvest. For even with a natural harvest the ground loses nutrients, which are replaced before a new crop is planted. Therefore, there is a time to rotate the style and type of ministry you use in order to bring in the harvest.

Just because somebody is doing it differently, or in a way that you have not done before, does not make it wrong. Don’t make judgements. Work alongside, encourage each other and share the responsibility for the harvest.

The harvest is mine. Learn from one another, for it will take many workers to bring in the final harvest.

(NIV) Matthew 9: 35-38

Jesus went through all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the good news of the kingdom and healing every disease and illness. When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. Then he said to his disciples, ‘The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.’

(NIV) John 4: 35-38

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. Thus the saying “One sows and another reaps” is true. I sent you to reap what you have not worked for. Others have done the hard work, and you have reaped the benefits of their labour.’

Beloved, get to know the seasons that I place before you.

The harvest is mine. Learn from one another, for it will take many workers to bring in the final harvest.

(NIV) Matthew 9: 35-38

(NIV) John 4: 35-38

11/10/19 “JOY CARRIERS”

There is a deep, deep well of joy that is simply waiting for you to lower your bucket into and pull up all you want.

Remember the ways that I have led you and brought you forth.

The season of mourning is over, bring your buckets, bring your vats and come fill yourself from “My Well of Joy”. Do not come and take just a little, take as much as you want. Be greedy, lust after the Joy of My Spirit, do not hold back, but be filled and filled and filled to overflowing.

Then take My Joy and release it to those around you and watch as colour comes into their world, into their families, their friends, their colleagues. Watch as my life wells up in them and overflows.

Today be “My Joy Carriers”!

(NIV) Isaiah 61: 1-3

The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me,
because the Lord has anointed me
to proclaim good news to the poor.
He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted,
to proclaim freedom for the captives
and release from darkness for the prisoners,
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.

(NIV) John 4: 14

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.”

14/10/19 Lingering over “YOU”

I have not overlooked you, nor forgotten you. See you are engraved on the palm of my hand.

I am even now lingering over you with my watchful eye to ensure that my promises are fulfilled in your life. Lift your head and see My Glory and know that I hold you fast.

I know the places where you struggle and desire to walk in freedom, I do not condemn you, nor do I withhold my love from you. I lift you up and give you the grace to face every failure so that it will become a stepping stone to victory.

I have not given you a spirit of fear but one of power, love and self control.

Arise, knowing my unfailing love for you!

(NIV) Isaiah 49: 16

See, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands;
your walls are ever before me.

(NIV) 2 Timothy 1: 7

For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline.

(NIV) Psalm 139: 1-6

You have searched me, Lord,
and you know me.
You know when I sit and when I rise;
you perceive my thoughts from afar.
You discern my going out and my lying down;
you are familiar with all my ways.
Before a word is on my tongue
you, Lord, know it completely.
You hem me in behind and before,
and you lay your hand upon me.
Such knowledge is too wonderful for me,
too lofty for me to attain.

15/10/19 “By My Hand”

“By my hand”, I have created the artist, they see differently. The Spiritual artist can see kingdom within all that they draw or paint, each has a unique anointing to bring prophetic art into the hearts and homes of those who do not see as clearly as they do.

“By my hand”, I have created the dancers and the dance, my beloved call out in movement and colour, their flags and streamers of every colour wave and surge in celebration of kingdom life.

“By my hand”, I have created the worshipers, my sons and daughters raise their voices and bring song. They lift a sweet, sweet, perfume unto my throne.

“By my hand”, I have created the prayer warriors, the intercessors, those who stand in the gap for their nations and their loved ones, daily crying out the need of the many and yet they are so few.

“By my hand”, I created “YOU “.

(NIV) Isaiah 49: 15-16

“Can a mother forget the baby at her breast

and have no compassion on the child she has borne?

Though she may forget,

I will not forget you!

See, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands;

your walls are ever before me.

(NIV) Luke 8: 54

But he took her by the hand and said, “My child, get up!”

(NIV) Psalm 150: 1-6

Praise the LORD.

Praise God in his sanctuary;

praise him in his mighty heavens.

Praise him for his acts of power;

praise him for his surpassing greatness.

Praise him with the sounding of the trumpet,

praise him with the harp and lyre,

praise him with timbrel and dancing,

praise him with the strings and pipe,

praise him with the clash of cymbals,

praise him with resounding cymbals.

Let everything that has breath praise the LORD.

Praise the LORD.

16/10/19 NEW ADVENTURE!

Many of you have set sail and have left the harbour with your sails up, catching the fullness of the wind. Your course was set and you were certain of your destination. Your hopes were high and you were ready for all that was to come.

However, you now find yourself in the middle of the vast ocean, and there is no wind. Your destination seems afar off and you are not even sure of your course anymore.

Beloved do not be afraid.

I am sending you My wind, the Wind of My Spirit, that will fill your sails afresh. Your course will be reset and your destination will be assured as you allow My Spirit to guide you in all your ways.

A New Adventure awaits you as you press into Me.

(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.”

(NIV) John 16: 13

But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all the truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come.

(NIV) Proverbs 16: 9

In their hearts humans plan their course,
but the Lord establishes their steps.

17/10/19 Your King is Here

I would remind you that as you meditate on ME, that you are like a tree planted beside steams of water, which yields its fruit in season, whatever you do prospers.

Do not look or listen to the judgements or condemnation of others over your life, but rather look and see how your loving Father looks at you. He sees you through (ME) Jesus and in Him you are complete and not lacking anything. Do not let the judgements of men hold you back or make you feel less than, for your Heavenly Father delights in you. He rejoices over you with singing and remembers no more your past sins.

The time of mourning is passing; the time to rejoice has now come, lift up your heads and see, your King is here!

(AMP) Zephaniah 3: 17

The Lord your God is in the midst of you, a Mighty One, a Saviour [Who saves]! He will rejoice over you with joy; He will rest [in silent satisfaction] and in His love He will be silent and make no mention [of past sins, or even recall them]; He will exult over you with singing.

(NIV) Esther 9: 22a

…as the time when the Jews got relief from their enemies, and as the month when their sorrow was turned into joy and their mourning into a day of celebration.

(NIV) Isaiah 61: 2-4

18/10/19 Transformation of Faith

My beloved sons and daughter.

Faith in me will bring transformation in all the parts of your life. You will know my fullness and you will carry my authority to the nations, to the people who are blinded by the lie`s of the enemy.

You my “Beloved Church” stand your ground and speak freely the words that my Spirit releases through you.

Tell this dying world the Truth, the way to the Father is only through Me.

(NIV) Acts 9: 27-28

But Barnabas took him and brought him to the apostles. He told them how Saul on his journey had seen the Lord and that the Lord had spoken to him, and how in Damascus he had preached fearlessly in the name of Jesus. So Saul stayed with them and moved about freely in Jerusalem, speaking boldly in the name of the Lord.

(NIV) Romans 10: 15

And how can anyone preach unless they are sent? As it is written: “How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!”

(NIV) John 14: 6-7

Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. If you really know me, you will know my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him.”
