29/4/16 Know Me as I Know YOU!
Do you know me as I know you? You are my family and I know all of you by name. Your names are grafted upon my hands. I hear every prayer and every cry in despair. I watch your getting up and your lying down. I hold you in my arms through the dark night of the soul. I love to hear your laughter that brings tears of joy to your eyes. I love to talk with you in the early light of dawn. I walk with you through the wild flowers of your life. I bring healing to your mind, body and spirit. I love to watch you paint, for the colours of your heart, are displayed in all their beauty, as you fill that canvas with your love. I dance with you and we are lifted up into the air, for this is a dance of the bride and the groom. I hear the music played from the instrument of your choice, and I delight in the aroma of sound that rises to my throne.
Know Me, seek Me, find Me.
(NIV) Jeremiah 29: 11-14a
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. Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. I will be found by you,” declares the Lord, “and will bring you back from captivity.
28/4/16 Wolves in Stolen Crowns
Know who stands beside you. There are many who are infiltrating my church, who are seeking their own earthly empires. They are hungry to build upon the living stones of my congregation, to mould my people into their own image.
Test every word and deed against the living word, and yes, honour and respect sound leadership that comes from a servant heart, who is sold out for kingdom principles. The wolves in stolen crowns will reveal themselves easily, as they cannot hide in a house filled with love. Their very actions and words will reveal their true hearts. Love, hope, joy, peace and a servant heart cannot be faked. It can only come from a heart that reflects my heart.
The fragrant aroma of heaven fills the air when I am near.
(NIV) Matthew 7: 15-20
“Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves. By their fruit you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? Likewise, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Thus, by their fruit you will recognize them.
(NIV) John 15: 14-16
You are my friends if you do what I command. I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master’s business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you. You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you might go and bear fruit—fruit that will last—and so that whatever you ask in my name the Father will give you.
(NIV) 2 Corinthians 2: 14-15
But thanks be to God, who always leads us as captives in Christ’s triumphal procession and uses us to spread the aroma of the knowledge of him everywhere. For we are to God the pleasing aroma of Christ among those who are being saved and those who are perishing.
27/4/16 Waves of Peace and Power
Your Nation has been crying out to me in prayer and intercession, and I have heard your prayers and caught every tear. I know the hearts of my people and their loss, and their hunger, for My Kingdom Come.
I AM releasing over your nation a Holy Spirit tornado, filled with the wind of my spirit, it will rip up the old, and carry it away, and leave behind fresh fields to grow the new harvest in. That which has spoiled your lands will be washed away in a tsunami of mighty supernatural waves, flooding inland from the sea. I AM sending waves of peace and power across your nation, you, my beloved, will watch the anger of generations dissolve, in my love and be restored with Holy Spirit Power.
There will be rivers of truth released, and even the political structure of your nation, will see the truth being revealed before them. Many will come and turn from their ways and join the family of the living God.
It is your time my family, to walk out in power and fire, and set your nation alight. The harvest is being made ready. Light your fires upon the hills and mountains of your nation, and watch as I join each of them together into a mighty army.
You are My Nation, My People.
(NIV) 1 Corinthians 2: 4-5
My message and my preaching were not with wise and persuasive words, but with a demonstration of the Spirit’s power, so that your faith might not rest on human wisdom, but on God’s power.
(NIV) 1 Corinthians 2: 6-16
We do, however, speak a message of wisdom among the mature, but not the wisdom of this age or of the rulers of this age, who are coming to nothing. No, we declare God’s wisdom, a mystery that has been hidden and that God destined for our glory before time began. None of the rulers of this age understood it, for if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. 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. What we have received is not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, so that we may understand what God has freely given us. This is what we speak, not in words taught us by human wisdom but in words taught by the Spirit, explaining spiritual realities with Spirit-taught words. The person without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God but considers them foolishness, and cannot understand them because they are discerned only through the Spirit. The person with the Spirit makes judgments about all things, but such a person is not subject to merely human judgments, for,
“Who has known the mind of the Lord
so as to instruct him?”
But we have the mind of Christ.
(NIV) Luke 3: 16-17
John answered them all, “I baptize you with water. But one who is more powerful than I will come, the straps of whose sandals I am not worthy to untie. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire. His winnowing fork is in his hand to clear his threshing floor and to gather the wheat into his barn, but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.”
(NIV) Hebrews 8: 10-11
This is the covenant I will establish with the people of Israel
after that time, declares the Lord.
I will put my laws in their minds
and write them on their hearts.
I will be their God,
and they will be my people.
No longer will they teach their neighbor,
or say to one another, ‘Know the Lord,’
because they will all know me,
from the least of them to the greatest.
26/4/16 Repetitive Entrapment
How many times have you come before my throne of grace and repented from that thing you have done time and time again? Each visit you have come with a heart of true repentance and you have laid this thing at my feet and walked away free, only for the enemy to come to you in the night hours and begin his whispering into your mind and thoughts.
He challenges you and tricks you into believing that the thing is still with you and that you need it, whether it be porn, lust, hatred, hopelessness, drugs, alcohol, theft, jealousy and especially low self-esteem, he will bring to you repetitive entrapment of these things. He needs to feed from your pain and anguish.
So I say to you, “Come to me, you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest” Come before the throne of grace and repent and leave these lies here, never for you to return to them again.
Walk away, free.
(NIV) 2 Corinthians 7: 10-11
Godly sorrow brings repentance that leads to salvation and leaves no regret, but worldly sorrow brings death. See what this godly sorrow has produced in you: what earnestness, what eagerness to clear yourselves, what indignation, what alarm, what longing, what concern, what readiness to see justice done. At every point you have proved yourselves to be innocent in this matter.
(NIV) Matthew 11: 27-29
“All things have been committed to me by my Father. No one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal him.
“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.
25/4/16 Ready?
Beloved, many of you are waiting for me to perfect you, but, I would say today that I have already perfected you. It is now your responsibility to make yourself ready.
Do you not know that my bride is making herself ready? How? By righteous acts that have been prepared for you from before the beginning of time. You are not saved through them, that work is already complete through the sacrifice of My Son, Jesus. But I have prepared many things that are necessary for you to do and complete, so that all may come into my Kingdom and know my love.
So beloved, look in the mirror and see what spot and blemishes need to be removed, so that you will be spotless and blameless. Ready and prepared for that great wedding feast of the lamb.
For my bride has made herself ready!
(NIV) Revelation 19:6-9
Then I heard what sounded like a great multitude, like the roar of rushing waters and like loud peals of thunder, shouting:
“Hallelujah!
For our Lord God Almighty reigns.
Let us rejoice and be glad
and give him glory!
For the wedding of the Lamb has come,
and his bride has made herself ready.
Fine linen, bright and clean,
was given her to wear.”
(Fine linen stands for the righteous acts of God’s holy people.)
Then the angel said to me, “Write this: Blessed are those who are invited to the wedding supper of the Lamb!” And he added, “These are the true words of God.”
(NIV) Ephesians 2:8-10
For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.
(NIV) 2 Peter 3:11-14
Since everything will be destroyed in this way, what kind of people ought you to be? You ought to live holy and godly lives as you look forward to the day of God and speed its coming. That day will bring about the destruction of the heavens by fire, and the elements will melt in the heat. But in keeping with his promise we are looking forward to a new heaven and a new earth, where righteousness dwells.
So then, dear friends, since you are looking forward to this, make every effort to be found spotless, blameless and at peace with him.
22/4/16 Pressures
Many are the pressures that are arising at this moment in time. Shakings are occurring in every area of your lives. A multitude of things and circumstances are pressing in and around.
Beloved, I am shaking from your life the things that are not important. Those things that remain after this season will become the things that will carry my life and my heart. These are the things that will bring you satisfaction and joy.
Do not look around at what is falling away, instead look at what is left, for it will come forth as pure and beautiful, having been refined in my fire. I am cleansing your very heart of everything that would keep you from me. Remember in the midst of pressure, diamonds are made!
(NIV) Malachi 3:2b-3a
For he will be like a refiner’s fire or a launderer’s soap. He will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver; he will purify the Levites and refine them like gold and silver.
(NIV) Hebrews 12:26-29
At that time his voice shook the earth, but now he has promised, “Once more I will shake not only the earth but also the heavens.” The words “once more” indicate the removing of what can be shaken—that is, created things—so that what cannot be shaken may remain.
Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful, and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe, for our “God is a consuming fire.”
(NIV) 1 John 3:1-3
See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him. Dear friends, now we are children of God, and what we will be has not yet been made known. But we know that when Christ appears, we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is. All who have this hope in him purify themselves, just as he is pure.
21/4/16 Perfect Fit
The cloak of shame that you once wore, as a daily reminder of every sin and mistake that you carried in and through your life, was removed from you at the cross and placed upon my shoulders. I then carried your shame and sin into death, where it was destroyed and has now no place in your resurrected supernatural life. I took all your sin and shame, and I gave you back the perfect fit of the new cloak, made for you in heaven, and interwoven by my love.
The cloak of righteousness now covers you and protects you from the lies of the enemy. You are a new creation. The path before you is as white as snow. As you step out, your footprints will begin to mark the new path that you walk. You, my friend, will show the way for those who come behind you, as you are a catalyst within this season.
As you boldly strike out for the new horizon in your life, many new skills and abilities will be manifest within you. Even a spiritual boldness will bring you into new and wonderful encounters, with the people and lives around you. Walk in the abundance that flows from my throne into the core of your heart, for there is no place for shame within you. As I AM your perfect FIT.
(NIV) 1 Peter 2: 23-24
When they hurled their insults at him, he did not retaliate; when he suffered, he made no threats. Instead, he entrusted himself to him who judges justly. “He himself bore our sins” in his body on the cross, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; “by his wounds you have been healed.”
(NIV) Galatians 3: 26-28
So in Christ Jesus you are all children of God through faith, for all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.
(NIV) Jeremiah 31: 13-14
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.
20/4/16 Quiet Your Mind
Can you hear me through the shouting of your own mind and thoughts? There are more arguments going on inside your head than are real outside your head. Quiet your mind!
The enemy is constantly throwing false and deceitful thoughts into your mind, to see if he can catch you out. You mull them over and begin to accept these lies as truth and then the shouting begins. Of course, at this point, you cannot hear the Holy Spirit, and my still small voice, over the din of your disquiet that someone could say, do, or even think such horrible things about you. The devil has done his work.
Quiet your mind, and command the spirit of anger to go. Quiet your mind and allow the Spirit of Peace to settle into your mind and especially your tangled thoughts. Watch as The Holy Spirit living in your heart begins to untangle every lie the enemy has tried to use against you and those around you. The Spirit of Peace will begin to release you into a place of comfort, where all the little niggles will become like a peaceful garden of colour and joy.
I have given you a sound mind.
(NIV) Isaiah 32: 17-18
The fruit of that righteousness will be peace;
its effect will be quietness and confidence forever.
My people will live in peaceful dwelling places,
in secure homes,
in undisturbed places of rest.
(NIV) 2 Corinthians 10: 4-5
The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. 5 We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.
(NIV) Philippians 4: 6-8
Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.
19/4/16 Tears are weapons
When your heart is heavy and you don’t see a way out, come to me, and kneel down, open your heart of pain, and as the tears flow down. I will capture them in my loving embrace and put them into my heart. Your tears are powerful weapons against the plans of the enemy, each one a powerful prayer.
Pray with me, as I wipe away your sorrow and pain, the wounds of a friend, dig deeper than the wounds of an enemy, for you cannot fathom how a friend could treat you like this, or understand the soul numbing pain, that their betrayal, of friendship has caused in your deepest being.
Forgive and let the offence go, it will bring healing to your heart, and it will allow the gospel of peace, to flow out and into the heart of those, who do not know how much they have wounded you.
(NIV) Psalm 126: 4-6
Restore our fortunes, Lord,
like streams in the Negev.
Those who sow with tears
will reap with songs of joy.
Those who go out weeping,
carrying seed to sow,
will return with songs of joy,
carrying sheaves with them.
(NIV) Colossians 3: 12-17
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.
Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful. Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom through psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts. And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.
18/4/16 From the Narrow Place
They will come in their ones and twos.
Out from the narrow place and into the highways and byways of this earth. You will know them for each of them is incorruptible to the nature of this world or to the master of this world. They are my warriors of truth and honour, they come to show you the way to my heart and my Kingdom.
They come to prove to you, that all can live a righteous life, and not fall short. The narrow way is calling you out of the wide open spaces and into your God given adventure. You are called to reflect the heart of me and each day you become more and more like me, as you leave behind the trappings of this world.
Each new step we walk together proves that as a man upon this earth, I went through the same temptations as you, and you too can walk the narrow path. I will never ask you to do something I have not already done.
You are called as my witnesses.
(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) Galatians 5: 16-18
So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. For the flesh desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the flesh. They are in conflict with each other, so that you are not to do whatever you want. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.
(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.
15/4/16 Did I not Say?
Did I not say “That I would never leave you or forsake you”? Then why do you cower in fear and trepidation? How has it come to this that every dart of the enemy seems to hit its target, within your life? Have you taken your eyes off my saving grace? Are you willing to let all afflictions, have sway over every thought and action of your mind? Defeated and wallowing in the mire of self-pity?
Stop looking at your feet and lift your head. Look up and into my eyes, here you will find love and compassion. The truth that set you free and broke every chain and bondage in your life never left you and never will. You cannot see me when you turn your eyes downwards for I am not to be found in the place of fear and shame. You, my beloved, came to me as I gently called your name. I embraced you with an eternal love. Did I not rest your head against my breast, and call you to lean into me? I will hold you when everything around you seems to be fraught with danger.
Come let us return to your garden of peace, where we can sit and rest together.
(NIV) Hebrews 13: 4-6
Marriage should be honored by all, and the marriage bed kept pure, for God will judge the adulterer and all the sexually immoral. Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said,
“Never will I leave you;
never will I forsake you.”
So we say with confidence,
“The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid.
What can mere mortals do to me?”
(NIV) Psalm 24: 7-8
Lift up your heads, you gates;
be lifted up, you ancient doors,
that the King of glory may come in.
Who is this King of glory?
The Lord strong and mighty,
the Lord mighty in battle.
(NIV) Hebrews 4: 10-16
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.
Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has ascended into heaven Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to the faith we profess. For we do not have a high priest who is unable to empathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet he did not sin. Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.
14/4/16 Feed your Spirit
How hungry are you to see the miracles of healing in your church or on the streets or even in your own life and homes? It is time for my family to feed their Spirits with Faith.
Faith is where you, who feel feeble and weak, will become like roaring lions, and no one will ever get you to tremble in fear ever again. For as you move out in faith, my confidence wells up inside you as the Holy Spirit is given free rein in your life and daily walk. You will begin to see the transition of you, my friend, becoming more and more a mirror image of me.
You will lay your hands on the sick and they will be healed. Your faith will grow daily and you will become a hunter of sickness, with the express calling, to wipe it out wherever you go in this world. People will begin to hear about the anointing you carry through faith and my name. You will begin to be asked to travel, locally at first, but then further and further afield as the wheel chairs begin to stack up and the cancers are cured.
The confirmations will flow in freely from the medical profession, as they scratch their heads in wonder, for I AM calling my faith filled healers to arise.
Reach out and touch someone today.
(NIV) James 5: 15-16
And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise them up. If they have sinned, they will be forgiven. Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.
(NIV) Acts 4: 13-14
When they saw the courage of Peter and John and realized that they were unschooled, ordinary men, they were astonished and they took note that these men had been with Jesus. But since they could see the man who had been healed standing there with them, there was nothing they could say.
(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.
13/4/16 Dig out the Weeds
There are many times my family when we forget we have to tend to our gardens of faith. If we leave it too long, then the weeds begin to grow up and choke the life out of the good plants and beautiful flowers, our lush and healthy lawn turns from green to brown. What is left is a scene of desolation covered in weeds and debris, which in turn is reflected in our daily lives.
As we rise in the early light of dawn together, I would like to have breakfast with you every day. Dig out the weed of procrastination and open my word daily. Tear out the weed of silence and speak to me all day for I love to hear your voice. Remove the weed from your spiritual ears that has stopped up your ability to hear Holy Spirit as he gently releases his still small voice, into every area of need in your life. Begin again my friends to see your supernatural garden as I see it, in all its beauty.
The aroma of the flowers will again attract the bees and the butterflies, and many will want to come into your garden and sit with you, where you will be able to show them how to tend to their spiritual gardens also.
(NIV) Proverbs 24: 30-32
I went past the field of a sluggard,
past the vineyard of someone who has no sense;
thorns had come up everywhere,
the ground was covered with weeds,
and the stone wall was in ruins.
I applied my heart to what I observed
and learned a lesson from what I saw.
(NIV) Isaiah 58: 11
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.
(NIV) Song of Songs 2: 10-13
My beloved spoke and said to me,
“Arise, my darling,
my beautiful one, come with me.
See! The winter is past;
the rains are over and gone.
Flowers appear on the earth;
the season of singing has come,
the cooing of doves
is heard in our land.
The fig tree forms its early fruit;
the blossoming vines spread their fragrance.
Arise, come, my darling;
my beautiful one, come with me.”
12/4/16 The Devils Two Step
The plan of the devil is to keep my people in a place of confusion. He will continue to bombard you with untruths and deception. As you move forward in your daily walk one step at a time, he will try to take your attention onto him and away from my plan and purpose for your life.
Each step you take in my kingdom he will try to grab your attention onto anything he can that is happening around you especially in your family, friends and church. As you become bolder and step out into the market places and begin to share the gospel with others, you will see the problems and issues around you grow in their magnitude. The more you step out the worse it will get, for the devil wants your eyes upon the problems rather than the answer.
This is the devils TWO STEP, yes it is a dance for every step you move forward in my kingdom, he will try to drag you back two steps. Therefore, when you think you are gaining ground, really he has you running on the spot.
Take your eyes off the situations in your family, friends and church. Bring your full focus to bear upon my kingdom, and allow my living word to fill your heart. Pray over the situations that are trying to rob you of your full calling, and watch, as you give permission in my name all these issues will begin to dissolve in front of you.
Walk forward with supernatural boldness into all that was planned for your life from the very beginning of time.
(NIV) Galatians 1: 6-10
I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting the one who called you to live in the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel— which is really no gospel at all. Evidently some people are throwing you into confusion and are trying to pervert the gospel of Christ. But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let them be under God’s curse! As we have already said, so now I say again: If anybody is preaching to you a gospel other than what you accepted, let them be under God’s curse!
Am I now trying to win the approval of human beings, or of God? Or am I trying to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a servant of Christ.
(NIV) 1 Peter 5: 6-11
Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that the family of believers throughout the world is undergoing the same kind of sufferings.
And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast. To him be the power for ever and ever. Amen.
(NIV) 1 Thessalonians 5: 16-24
Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.
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.
11/4/16 Dry Ground
There has been an onslaught of heaviness and negativity, which has encircled your life and your vision. You have been unable to see a way out and even the horizon seems bleak and cold. Your feet weigh heavily and every step is such an effort to make. It would be easier to stop and lie down. Even the landscape around you has become desert and arid, the lush green of your peaceful garden now scorched and burned in the heat of warfare.
I AM releasing new wells, never before seen on this earth. The places of desert will once again become valleys filled with colour and life. The plants will grow again with fruit trees filled with abundance. These wells will bubble up from below with life quenching water, pure and powerful to change every landscape from dry ground into paradise.
I AM calling to you people you have never met before, and yet each of them were created to stand with you, shoulder to shoulder from the very beginning of time. Welcome them in and eat the choicest fruits together.
Drink deeply from my wells of supernatural outpouring and let your thirst be quenched.
(NIV) Isaiah 35: 1-10
The desert and the parched land will be glad;
the wilderness will rejoice and blossom.
Like the crocus, it will burst into bloom;
it will rejoice greatly and shout for joy.
The glory of Lebanon will be given to it,
the splendor of Carmel and Sharon;
they will see the glory of the Lord,
the splendor of our God.
Strengthen the feeble hands,
steady the knees that give way;
say to those with fearful hearts,
“Be strong, do not fear;
your God will come,
he will come with vengeance;
with divine retribution
he will come to save you.”
Then will the eyes of the blind be opened
and the ears of the deaf unstopped.
Then will the lame leap like a deer,
and the mute tongue shout for joy.
Water will gush forth in the wilderness
and streams in the desert.
The burning sand will become a pool,
the thirsty ground bubbling springs.
In the haunts where jackals once lay,
grass and reeds and papyrus will grow.
And a highway will be there;
it will be called the Way of Holiness;
it will be for those who walk on that Way.
The unclean will not journey on it;
wicked fools will not go about on it.
No lion will be there,
nor any ravenous beast;
they will not be found there.
But only the redeemed will walk there,
and those the Lord has rescued will return.
They will enter Zion with singing;
everlasting joy will crown their heads.
Gladness and joy will overtake them,
and sorrow and sighing will flee away.
8/4/16 Upside Down Church
My church has become a place of uncertainty for my family. For it does not always reflect Kingdom Culture through its members. There has been a reformation of the fleshly needs of complacency, and there is much tickling of the ears of mankind. When you turn your face to the world you will look like the world. When you turn your face fully to me and the Kingdom of God then you will look like kingdom citizens.
My leadership of my church are there to bring the gospel of reconciliation, and then teach about a personal relationship between my family and me. They are then called to bring forth your God given character, and to teach you about the Living Word. They are also called to release you into your anointed giftings and send you out, for all are called into ministry.
Your leaders are there to lift you up and seek the treasure in your life. If you are being held in judgement and sin, by others, then you are being controlled and manipulated for their needs, rather than Kingdom for you were completely set free at the cross.
Your chains of bondage to a master on this earth were removed. Do not allow yourself to be chained by men and women who seek to enslave you to religious practice. Know that I have sealed you into my heart and that you are a Son or Daughter of the Kingdom of God. Look for the leaders that will lift you up onto their shoulders, and who will seek for you to go further than them.
(NIV) 1 Peter 2: 4-6
As you come to him, the living Stone—rejected by humans but chosen by God and precious to him— you also, like living stones, are being built into a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood, offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. For in Scripture it says:
“See, I lay a stone in Zion,
a chosen and precious cornerstone,
and the one who trusts in him
will never be put to shame.”
(NIV) 1 John 3: 1-3
See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him. Dear friends, now we are children of God, and what we will be has not yet been made known. But we know that when Christ appears, we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is. All who have this hope in him purify themselves, just as he is pure.
(NIV) 2 Peter 2: 19-21
They promise them freedom, while they themselves are slaves of depravity—for “people are slaves to whatever has mastered them.” If they have escaped the corruption of the world by knowing our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ and are again entangled in it and are overcome, they are worse off at the end than they were at the beginning. It would have been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than to have known it and then to turn their backs on the sacred command that was passed on to them.
7/4/16 Chains of Office
My family, you know the weightiness of your calling, and yet your yoke is light, for I carry all your burdens. You have the authority to tell mountains to throw themselves into the sea, and command the wind to stop. Your voice of authority can change the direction of the whirlwind, and calm the mightiest of seas.
I crafted for you the chain of office that you stand in. You are empowered through The Holy Spirit as my vessels upon this earth, to pour out my love, hope and honour upon everyone you meet. Each of you have the treasure chests of heaven open before you to give away to those I bring before you. For I have called them all by name, they are mine and I call you to treat them with care.
My Prophets and Seer/Prophets, My Intercessors, My Evangelists, My healers, My pastors, My tea Ladies and My Doormen. Each is mine, for I paid the price for you.
You have done nothing to earn these powerful offices, but I know the heart of each of my servant leaders, and here in the core of your beings, the flow of My compassion and love for all, tells me that the Chain of Office you wear upon your neck is of Justice, Courage and selfless ambition.
(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) Matthew 13: 51-52
“Have you understood all these things?” Jesus asked.
“Yes,” they replied.
He said to them, “Therefore every teacher of the law who has become a disciple in the kingdom of heaven is like the owner of a house who brings out of his storeroom new treasures as well as old.”
(NIV) Philippians 2: 1-11
Therefore if you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any common sharing in the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion, then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and of one mind. Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, 4 not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others.
In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus:
Who, being in very nature God,
did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage;
rather, he made himself nothing
by taking the very nature of a servant,
being made in human likeness.
And being found in appearance as a man,
he humbled himself
by becoming obedient to death—
even death on a cross!
Therefore God exalted him to the highest place
and gave him the name that is above every name,
that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,
in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord,
to the glory of God the Father.
6/4/16 Smoke and Broken Mirrors
The governmental structures of the world are being shaken with the revelation that all that they say and do is now being made public. The smoke of deception is being blown away in the breath of the Spirit of Truth. The mirrors that have reflected the power and authority of each governmental system are being smashed as they do not reflect a true image of honesty, character and honour especially to those they are supposed to serve. The foundations of world government are coming under the microscope of public disdain.
I remind you my family, that all that has come to pass has been revealed through my Prophets and Intercessors. You, my beloved church, are being enlightened to expect the truth, and be led by leaders who reflect kingdom principal in all that they put their hand to, either in the market place of man or in the courts of the heavenly realm. Honesty, truth, honour, respect and love these are the principals that my leaders are called to live by, especially Love, will be their kingdom mandate to serve as the ecclesia of the Living God.
(NIV) Mark 12: 30-31
Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’ The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no commandment greater than these.”
(NIV) John 15: 12-14
My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. You are my friends if you do what I command.
(NIV) Isaiah 9: 6-7
For to us a child is born,
to us a son is given,
and the government will be on his shoulders.
And he will be called
Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
Of the greatness of his government and peace
there will be no end.
He will reign on David’s throne
and over his kingdom,
establishing and upholding it
with justice and righteousness
from that time on and forever.
The zeal of the Lord Almighty
will accomplish this.
5/4/16 Seek Me!
When you pick up and open the living word, something will always happen in your present situation, and the lives of everyone around you. My Word is alive and living, it is the heartbeat of the Kingdom of God. Eat the fresh manna of today every letter of every word is a tasty meal. When satisfied, sit back and fold your napkin, for you will come back for more. You my friends will always be welcome at my banqueting table.
There is no place in my word that says “sit in your pain and pity” it says “seek me, and you will find me”. Unless you stand up and say to yourself, “I choose each day to follow my Lord and become more like him. I do not accept this situation I’m in, because it does not reflect the true salvation that I have received through death of my old self and resurrection as a new creation. I call my new man/woman to come forth and be all I can be through the power of The Holy Spirit who lives in me”
My word is living and active in each of you, seek me and you will find me.
(NIV) Isaiah 55: 10-12
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.
You will go out in joy
and be led forth in peace;
the mountains and hills
will burst into song before you,
and all the trees of the field
will clap their hands.
(NIV) Jeremiah 29: 12-14a
Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. I will be found by you,” declares the Lord, “and will bring you back from captivity.
4/4/16 FROM THE BOTTOM TO THE TOP
Are you looking at the world today from the bottom of a pit of despair? When you look up can you see the deep blue sky, filled with white clouds flitting by, way, way, above, through the hole which you fell down into despair?
I am lifting you out of this hole today. Despair is a spiritual weight of deceit and lies that are tethered to your mind and thoughts. The weight alone will drag you down into the deepest pit and it will hold you there until you take back the ground that it has stolen from you. Take from it the permission that you gave it to have a say or platform in your life and thoughts. Reach out to me and I will run to you, ask and it will be given.
You will unfurl your wings again and climb up and out of that pit, and as your mighty spiritual wings begin to beat, you will fly and soar in the thermals of my spirit, rising higher and higher. Watch as the spirit of despair falls away from you, as it cannot entangle and control your thoughts anymore.
Fly free!
(NIV) Isaiah 61: 3b
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 splendor.
(NIV) Luke 15: 20-24
So he got up and went to his father.
“But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion for him; he ran to his son, threw his arms around him and kissed him.
“The son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.’
“But the father said to his servants, ‘Quick! Bring the best robe and put it on him. Put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet. Bring the fattened calf and kill it. Let’s have a feast and celebrate. For this son of mine was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.’ So they began to celebrate.
(NIV) Isaiah 40: 30-31
Even youths grow tired and weary,
and young men stumble and fall;
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.
1/4/16 Faith or Religion? Your Choice
My family are part of my Kingdom. They have been set free through salvation. Each one has come to the Cross and laid down all their sin and baggage. My blood and punishment has brought them into a life of Faith. By believing in Me, they have died with me and have also been resurrected into New Creations. They have become a whole new people in Me, and they are called to walk by Faith. My beautiful ones are called Christians. Their names are engraved upon my hands.
I have never created anything called religion, this is man made to draw and attract people who wish to look exactly like each other.
In my Kingdom those around me have a heart to walk daily with me and seek to become like me. You will recognise them from their humble hearts, filled with love and wisdom. They will be known for their servant leadership and their bruised and bloodied knees as they spend their night hours in intercession for their families, towns, cities and nations. My family will wash the feet of their neighbours for no other reason than love, for each of them was birthed through my love.
There is no greater gift than for one to give their life for another.
(NIV) 1 Peter 1: 3-9
Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade. This inheritance is kept in heaven for you, who through faith are shielded by God’s power until the coming of the salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time. 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 honor 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, for you are receiving the end result of your faith, the salvation of your souls.
(NIV) Mark 12: 30-31
Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’ The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no commandment greater than these.”
(NIV) John 15: 9-17
“As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Now remain in my love. If you keep my commands, you will remain in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commands and remain in his love. I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete. My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. You are my friends if you do what I command. I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master’s business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you. You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you might go and bear fruit—fruit that will last—and so that whatever you ask in my name the Father will give you. This is my command: Love each other.
