1/4/19 Progressive Christianity
My beloved Bride, “I AM,” coming for YOU.
As the time passes by upon the earth, and you my bride, prepare yourself for my arrival. I sense the excitement of your heart, for you know the time is coming ever closer, when you and I will be one for eternity.
Do not stand still and wait upon my arrival, but move forward into the plans and purposes that I have set out for you from the beginning of time. Progress and encompass all that Holy Spirit is revealing to you, especially those places where you find it uncomfortable.
As the Holy Spirit brings Word and Spirit together in the heart of my bride, welcome every fresh revelation of spiritual awakening that will bring the rhythms of my heart, into alignment with yours.
Move forward as one, in complete harmony and peace. Do not let the voices of the naysayers have the confidence of your spiritual ears.
Listen to the beat of my heart, as I hold you close in my loving arms. Hear me speak in the dead of night, a whisper to your ear, and yet a “Roar” to the Nations.
“You are MY BRIDE”
(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.
(NIV) John 4: 23-24
Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshippers will worship the Father in the Spirit and in truth, for they are the kind of worshippers the Father seeks. God is spirit, and his worshippers must worship in the Spirit and in truth.”
(NIV) Revelation 21: 1-3
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.
2/4/19 Walk the Walk
Beloved, I call you to “walk the walk” and not to simply “talk the talk”. Talk is easy and words are cheap. Follow through on the things you have promised. Let your “yes” be “YES” and your “no” be “NO”. Do not allow others to manipulate you into fulfilling things on their behalf. It is their responsibility to fulfil the things they have promised.
Check yourself to see, that all the things you are doing, are actually My will for your life. Do not be side-tracked into the good rather than the God things. My will and plan for your life is perfect. Remember that the tongue holds the words of life and death. I remember every promise that you have made to Me.
Are you ready to fulfil those promises? Yes, or No?
(NIV) Matthew 5: 37
All you need to say is simply “Yes,” or “No”; anything beyond this comes from the evil one.
(NIV) Proverbs 18: 21
The tongue has the power of life and death,
and those who love it will eat its fruit.
(NIV) Psalm 50: 14
‘Sacrifice thank-offerings to God,
fulfil your vows to the Most High
3/4/19 Healing Hands
My family, many of you carry a mantle of healing. Your hands are anointed and appointed to bring healing in My Name, when you place them upon the sick and dying. And yet there is so much more to what you carry and the calling upon your life.
Healing comes in many forms, as Holy Spirit leads you and guides you through all the days of your life. Listen to the still small voice, as you ask in prayer, as to how to deal with each situation as it arises.
There are those in your circle of influence, who have families and are sick within their bodies. The healing touch that you carry also transforms their daily needs into actions, as you collect their messages for their family, and cook their meals for them and their children. As you drive people to appointments, in hospitals and clinics, and stand with husbands and wives as they go through the turmoil of sickness and disease.
Your hands are created to encompass the whole family and their needs, as the healing gift you carry will bring comfort and peace, and they will celebrate in the living God, for He sent you to them in their time of need.
(NIV) 1 Corinthians 12: 27-28
Now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it. And God has placed in the church first of all apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then miracles, then gifts of healing, of helping, of guidance, and of different kinds of tongues.
(NIV) Galatians 6: 9-11
Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers.
(NIV) Galatians 5: 22-23
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.
4/4/19 You are precious
Beloved, I have never stopped coming after you. There is nowhere you can run from Me, that I cannot find you. I am much more willing to look after you and care for you, than you realise. To Me you are precious. You are beautiful and have been created perfectly in Me.
Look and see, and know that My eye is upon you. I see the birds of the air and know when one of them falls, they are not forgotten. And you, are you not worth more than the sparrows? I sought you and chose you to be mine for all eternity. I have never left you fatherless or alone, for I am with you.
I value you and your love above all things, and I will woo you because I AM love. There is no variation or shadow of turning in Me. I fulfil My promises to you, not always in the ways that you would expect. Put your full reliance, trust and faith in Me, for I AM faithful.
(NIV) Luke 12: 6-7
Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? Yet not one of them is forgotten by God. Indeed, the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Don’t be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.
(NIV) James 1: 16-18
Don’t be deceived, my dear brothers and sisters. Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows. He chose to give us birth through the word of truth, that we might be a kind of first fruits of all he created.
(AMPC) Matthew 9: 29-30a
Then He touched their eyes, saying, “According to your faith and trust and reliance [on the power invested in Me] be it done to you; and their eyes were opened”.
5/4/19 The Mist of the Rain
Sense my closeness to your heart, and my gentle touch, as we dance together in the rain. Abandoned and lost in our love for one another. Everything around us falls away, all pain, all regret and all the “what ifs” are no more.
Focus upon my promise over your life, and open your spiritual eyes and see the fullness and depth of colour that is spread before you, even to the horizon of your life.
My rainbow covers you as a covenant of my love, and as you move deeper into me, even the mist of the rain will bring the supernatural revelation of the gentleness of my touch upon your life.
(NIV) Ezekiel 1: 27-28a
I saw that from what appeared to be his waist up he looked like glowing metal, as if full of fire, and that from there down he looked like fire; and brilliant light surrounded him. Like the appearance of a rainbow in the clouds on a rainy day, so was the radiance around him.
(NIV) Genesis 9: 12-13
And God said, “This is the sign of the covenant I am making between me and you and every living creature with you, a covenant for all generations to come: I have set my rainbow in the clouds, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and the earth.
(NIV) Philippians 2: 5-6
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.
9/4/19 Parapet? What parapet?
Beloved, I call you out from the parapet that you are hiding behind. I know the enemy has come against you, in so many ways, and you have reached the point where you want to stay safe.
The attacks have come from places that you didn’t expect. The energy that you have used in the battle has been overwhelming. You have rested and that is good.
However, now is the time to raise your head and advance into the fray once again. You have My full authority to rule and reign. No matter what has happened in the past, you can rise again with your head held high. You are more than a conqueror, for I have overcome hell and death. You have not disappointed Me or let Me down. I know your heart. I know the end from the beginning. Remember Peter, I fully restored him. You too are fully restored.
I will close the mouths of those who have been raised against you and silence the lies of the enemy that have been released about you. You are mine. Stay under the shelter of My wings. My protection is far greater than your parapet.
(TPT) Psalm 23: 1-2
God is My Fierce Protector and My Provider. I always have more than enough. Like a Shepherd He finds a resting place for me, in His luxury-love.
(NIV) Psalm 91: 1-4
Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High
will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
I will say of the Lord, ‘He is my refuge and my fortress,
my God, in whom I trust.’
Surely he will save you
from the fowler’s snare
and from the deadly pestilence.
He will cover you with his feathers,
and under his wings you will find refuge;
his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.
10/4/19 “My Song” Your Heart!
I am releasing a new song through your heart today. Take out your pen and paper, and begin to write all that you hear me whispering in the core of your Spirit. Listen for the words but also the chorus lines. Feel the unforced rhythms of my Heart.
As I reveal to you the new sound upon the earth, heaven will aline as the whisper becomes a Roar and revival becomes a global outreach. The vibration of Kingdom will shake the foundations of music and worship in every part of the globe.
A mighty army is rising. Their feet, as they march in unison, will shake the very earth they walk upon. The army of the Lord is on the move, you will feel their vibration, long before you see them. They come to shake up the complacent and to stand on the front of the battle field of Salvation.
They march to a “NEW SONG”
(NIV) Revelation 5: 8-9
And when he had taken it, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb. Each one had a harp and they were holding golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of God’s people. And they sang a new song, saying:
“You are worthy to take the scroll
and to open its seals,
because you were slain,
and with your blood you purchased for God
persons from every tribe and language and people and nation.
(NIV) Psalm 40: 2-4
He lifted me out of the slimy pit,
out of the mud and mire;
he set my feet on a rock
and gave me a firm place to stand.
He put a new song in my mouth,
a hymn of praise to our God.
Many will see and fear the Lord
and put their trust in him.
Blessed is the one
who trusts in the Lord,
who does not look to the proud,
to those who turn aside to false gods.
11/4/19 Vitally connected
I watched as an external electrical line was being installed for a temporary camp. I watched as the person joined two lines together with a large circular connector. The line was checked and all was working well. The next day the rain came, and unknown to everyone, the connector was not fully engaged. This caused the electricity to stop working. Crews were sent out to check the full length of the cable, until they found the faulty connection.
Beloved you are vital to the working of My Kingdom, not one is less than or more than another. Vital connection with Me is a priority in your life. I am the vine and you are the branches. Everyone a necessary part of My bride. You can do nothing without Me.
I know the junctures of your life that have caused broken connection. Even now I am working to fix those things, but I need your co-operation. Won’t you submit to My loving hands? For I make sure that all things work together for good, for those who are called according to My purposes.
(AMPC) John 15: 4-5
Dwell in Me, and I will dwell in you. [Live in Me, and I will live in you.] Just as no branch can bear fruit of itself without abiding in (being vitally united to) the vine, neither can you bear fruit unless you abide in Me.
I am the Vine; you are the branches. Whoever lives in Me and I in him bears much (abundant) fruit. However, apart from Me [cut off from vital union with Me] you can do nothing.
(AMPC) Romans 8: 28-29
We are assured and know that [God being a partner in their labour] all things work together and are [fitting into a plan] for good to and for those who love God and are called according to [His] design and purpose.
For those whom He foreknew [of whom He was aware and loved beforehand], He also destined from the beginning [foreordaining them] to be moulded into the image of His Son [and share inwardly His likeness], that He might become the firstborn among many brethren.
12/4/19 Vengeance of a Wounded Heart
My family, when you have been deeply wounded, your heart closes in on itself and does not allow others access. The barbs and knives of the open wounds and scars are flared, sore and open. You will wear them as a badge of honour, at your treatment and abuse. Everyone you meet will know of every detail down to the minutest facet.
Those who hurt you will feel your vengeance, as you bring them to justice before their peers, and all who will listen to your plight. Then you will turn your attention to me, and ask for restitution, restoration and Kingdom Justice against the ones who attacked you and left you dying in a ditch. filled with pain and rejection.
Vengeance is mine, so I say to you my friend, take your hands off it, and give all this pain to me. Put your wounded heart into my hands, and allow me to caress it, watch as the open wounds begin to heal, as I release my Balm and even the scars of many years will begin to disappear.
Love is my answer for you, and for those who left you in this state. Forgiveness is the healing balm for you and for them. Especially in your thoughts where the enemy has tried to take up residency, do not let him live rent free in your mind. Take captive every thought washed in my blood and wrapped in my love.
Love as I Love you.
(NIV) Romans 12: 14-21
Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse. Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn. Live in harmony with one another. Do not be proud, but be willing to associate with people of low position. Do not be conceited.
Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everyone. If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone. Do not take revenge, my dear friends, but leave room for God’s wrath, for it is written: “It is mine to avenge; I will repay,” says the Lord. On the contrary:
“If your enemy is hungry, feed him;
if he is thirsty, give him something to drink.
In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head.”
Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
(NIV) 1 Corinthians 13: 1-8a
If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing.
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonour others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
Love never fails.
15/4/19 Weight Bearing Foundations
I watched a bridge being built across a lake. They were using boats to hold the pylons that supported the structure of the bridge, and every time a wave hit the boats the structure would shudder and shake, with the ebb and flow of the waves. As time went on, the vibration upon the structure, became so violent that it came crashing down into the waters below, crushing and destroying the boats that were not fit for purpose.
There are some among you that are being tossed about and losing your balance, because you have put your faith into those that are not standing on a firm foundation. They want to trust their future to the tickling of ears, and the gospel of prosperity. They take My Living Word, and twist it, to shape their ideologies. They will come crashing down because they are not embedded in the bedrock of salvation.
I AM the Foundation of faith. Anyone who builds upon Me, will know when the storm hits that they are safe. Those who have rejected me know their folly, but those who accept Me fully, are written on the palms of my hands. Their names are in the book of life for eternity.
(NIV) Matthew 7: 24-27
“Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock. But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash.”
(NIV) Isaiah 49: 16
See, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands;
your walls are ever before me.
(NIV) Revelation 20: 14-15
Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. The lake of fire is the second death. Anyone whose name was not found written in the book of life was thrown into the lake of fire.
16/4/19 Grown-up?
Have you grown–up or are you still a child? I long to feed you with the good things of My word. To show you the wonders of My Kingdom. Will you take My word seriously and do as it says? No more running here and there, asking and seeking the direction of man, while I stand here waiting, for you to ask of Me.
I have pearls of wisdom to impart, that I can only give to those who are mature. Seek and you will find, ask and it will be given, keep knocking and the door will be opened. Will you set your face as flint and seek My face? I am waiting to pour out the treasures of heaven upon you.
(NIV) Hebrews 5: 12-14
In fact, though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you the elementary truths of God’s word all over again. You need milk, not solid food! Anyone who lives on milk, being still an infant, is not acquainted with the teaching about righteousness. But solid food is for the mature, who by constant use have trained themselves to distinguish good from evil.
(NIV) 1 Corinthians 1: 22-25
Jews demand signs and Greeks look for wisdom, but we preach Christ crucified: a stumbling-block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles, but to those whom God has called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. For the foolishness of God is wiser than human wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than human strength.
17/4/19 Dance
Dance with all your might, don’t let others mock you. You know what is in your heart, as well as I do. I know your heart is to glorify Me, with all your might and strength. It is not undignified. The angels are dancing with you and glorifying My name. You are mine.
Do not let religion steal away your passion. Let go and be all you can be in Me. Don’t you know that I sing (leap, dance, twirl) over you? I have set you as the apple of My eye. I have established My love over you.
I delight in your sheer abandonment of self. I am alive with joy as you keep in step with My Spirit, turning adeptly with every step. Your eyes fixed on Mine. Such pleasure fills Me, knowing that it is your free expression of worship.
As you let your dance continue to flow into all the world, you will know the transformative power of dance. Atmospheres will shift and the enemy will flee. Heaven will open and the angels will ascend and descend where you dance throughout this land.
(NIV) 2 Samuel 6: 14-16
Wearing a linen ephod, David was dancing before the Lord with all his might, while he and all Israel were bringing up the ark of the Lord with shouts and the sound of trumpets.
As the ark of the Lord was entering the City of David, Michal daughter of Saul watched from a window. And when she saw King David leaping and dancing before the Lord, she despised him in her heart.
(NIV) Psalm 149: 1-9
Praise the Lord.
Sing to the Lord a new song,
his praise in the assembly of his faithful people.
Let Israel rejoice in their Maker;
let the people of Zion be glad in their King.
Let them praise his name with dancing
and make music to him with tambourine and harp.
For the Lord takes delight in his people;
he crowns the humble with victory.
Let his faithful people rejoice in this honour
and sing for joy on their beds.
May the praise of God be in their mouths
and a double-edged sword in their hands,
to inflict vengeance on the nations
and punishment on the peoples,
to bind their kings with fetters,
their nobles with shackles of iron,
to carry out the sentence written against them –
this is the glory of all his faithful people.
Praise the Lord.
18/4/19 Stand the test of time
Today, I encourage you to stand. The battle you are in is not against flesh, but against powers and principalities. Many of you have sustained wounds on your journey. Rest awhile, but do not give up or give in. Do not throw the towel in and say, “I’ve had enough, I quit!”. Rather choose to say, “I stand up, and no matter how many times I get knocked down, I’m getting up again.” I choose the way of the Kingdom, rather than the way of man.
Remember you are not alone, I have sent My angels to minister to you, to uphold and help you with every step you take. The Holy Spirit is there to guide, to comfort and to teach you in all things. I have bottled your tears. Jesus paid the price to remove the bitterness of those things. Watch as the memories will no longer have the power to bring pain.
So today I say, “Stand and stand again”
(NIV) Ephesians 6: 10-13
Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armour of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full armour of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand.
(NIV) Matthew 10: 22
You will be hated by everyone because of me, but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved.
(NIV) Romans 12: 21
Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
19/4/19 Ice Melt, a Revelation
I stood upon the mountain pass and looked over the ice field. It covered the top and flowed seamlessly down the gullies and crevasses of the mountain. I sensed the heat of the sun as it rose in the heavens, allowing the first touch of warmth to begin to melt the cold hard ice.
At first only droplets appeared upon the ice flow but, these soon turned to rivulets and then they began to run faster as streams began to flow down the mountain. Faster and faster, soon becoming rivers and the torrents rose and became a flood.
On the upper reaches of the mountain, the ice began to disappear, and what was hidden below the shadow of the ice began to stretch and reach out to the sun and its warmth. The green grass and the wild flowers of the mountain passes began to reveal all their splendour and colour as fresh awakening took hold. The birds of the air, with the cry of the eagle up in the high peaks, could be heard as they climbed higher and higher upon the thermals.
You my friend are awakening from a long sleep, where you have sensed the ice cold of winter in your life and walk. Open your spiritual eyes and see the new day. Feel the heat upon your face, and watch the rivers of your life, fill with a torrent of power, to wash away the stagnant places. You are about to soar again, open up your wings and sense the breath of Holy Spirit as he gently ruffles your feathers.
The thermals are waiting. It is time to fly again, higher and higher in ME!
(NIV) Isaiah 40: 28-31
Do you not know?
Have you not heard?
The Lord is the everlasting God,
the Creator of the ends of the earth.
He will not grow tired or weary,
and his understanding no one can fathom.
He gives strength to the weary
and increases the power of the weak.
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.
22/4/19 The Envelope
My family, you see it every day, it lies upon your coffee table, or in the drawer, where you keep your socks? Maybe it sits upon your bedside table and has become a coffee coaster to stop the stains reaching your polished surfaces?
Unless you open my envelope, and take out my love letter to you, how can you know the depth of my love?
As you open my letter to “YOU”, my heart filled with love will be revealed in all its glory, from my heart to yours. You carry the rhythm of my heart beat, and as we come closer together my heart races for you.
Come closer today and allow me to wrap my loving arms around you as we read together my love letter to “YOU”.
Open My Living Word.
(NIV) Revelation 1: 1-3
The revelation from Jesus Christ, which God gave him to show his servants what must soon take place. He made it known by sending his angel to his servant John, who testifies to everything he saw—that is, the word of God and the testimony of Jesus Christ. Blessed is the one who reads aloud the words of this prophecy, and blessed are those who hear it and take to heart what is written in it, because the time is near.
(NIV) 2 Corinthians 3: 3
You show that you are a letter from Christ, the result of our ministry, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts.
(NIV) Hebrews 4: 12-13
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.
23/4/19 Displacement
I watched as your heart became a rectangular tank, filled with a mixture of noble and ignoble feelings and emotions. You cried over the things that were wrong in your own heart and asked the Lord to remove them all. I watched as a new tank came down from heaven, on the side was “Love”. I watched as the tank was slowly lowered into yours. The further it was lowered, your emotions and feelings, both about yourself and others, noble and ignoble, were displaced by His tank of love. The tank fitted perfectly and there were no other emotions left, as His love filled every part of your heart.
I heard the Lord whisper gently to you, “Now your heart is filled with My love, live from that place. Weep no longer, for you are clean because of Jesus’ blood. Keep your eyes fixed on Me”.
(NIV) 1 John 4: 7-12
Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins.
(NIV) Hebrews 4: 14-16
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.
24/4/19 Once and once only
Beloved, how many times will you try to lay your punishment upon yourself? You beat yourself up, and walk around in shame, head hanging low. Don’t you know that Jesus has already paid the full price for all your sin, once and once only. He has born your stripes to bring healing to you, mind, body and spirit? You are no longer a sinner, you have accepted the gift of life. Rely on the finished work of Jesus.
Let this be a new day where you grasp that you are co-heirs with Jesus. You are seated in heavenly places in Christ Jesus. You are more than conquerors. You are a priest. You are a son. You are the bride of Christ. You have moved from death to life. You are called and chosen. You are anointed. You have been commissioned.
Move into your full calling, hold your head up high and remember you are royalty!
(NIV) Isaiah 53: 4-5
Surely he took up our pain
and bore our suffering,
yet we considered him punished by God,
stricken by him, and afflicted.
But he was pierced for our transgressions,
he was crushed for our iniquities;
the punishment that brought us peace was on him,
and by his wounds we are healed.
(NIV) 1 Peter 2: 9-10
But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light. Once you were not a people, but now you are the people of God; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy.
25/4/19 Unveiled
Beloved, I have removed the veil from around you. I call you to walk in light and truth. Do not allow the enemy to hoodwink you into staying in a place that you do not belong. There are many who are trying to bring you under the law again. Do not touch, do not eat, observe all the feasts, a long list of do’s and don’ts.
Christ came to set you free, to bring you out from under those bondages and hardships, they may hold the appearance of wisdom, however they are self-imposed and lack the ability to restrain sensual indulgence.
Do not be deceived and think that by keeping a long list of rules, that you will be made righteous. The law was in place to show My people, that they couldn’t fulfil the law by themselves. They needed a Saviour, Jesus, to fulfil the law and the prophets and bring true freedom. Believe in Him and let the veil fall away from you.
(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.
(MSG) Colossians 2: 16-17
So don’t put up with anyone pressuring you in details of diet, worship services, or holy days. All those things are mere shadows cast before what was to come; the substance is Christ.
(NIV) Colossians 2: 20-23
Since you died with Christ to the elemental spiritual forces of this world, why, as though you still belonged to the world, do you submit to its rules: “Do not handle! Do not taste! Do not touch!”? These rules, which have to do with things that are all destined to perish with use, are based on merely human commands and teachings. Such regulations indeed have an appearance of wisdom, with their self-imposed worship, their false humility and their harsh treatment of the body, but they lack any value in restraining sensual indulgence.
26/4/17 Make yourself at home
“Welcome! It’s so good to see you. Make yourself at home”.
How many times have you heard these words? Yet, although the words say one thing, you know that there are boundaries within those words? You wouldn’t merely raid the fridge and help yourself, unless you were a son/daughter, or a really good friend.
When I say “Welcome, make yourself at home”, I want you to know that you have permission to raid the fridge. Make yourself at home in My love. I am your Father and I love you as I love My Son, Jesus. Know that everything I have is yours, lock, stock and barrel. I withhold nothing from you. All good things come from Me.
I have given you authority, to heal, deliver, set the captives free, and to preach the good news of the gospel. Do you not know that I give you everything you need in My Kingdom?
Please stop standing, pleading for Me to do, when I have already appointed and anointed you. Stretch out your hand and watch as My words are confirmed by signs and wonders. Surrender fully into My hands and let’s have the journey of a lifetime.
(MSG) Matthew 28: 18-20
Jesus, undeterred, went right ahead and gave his charge: “God authorized and commanded me to commission you: Go out and train everyone you meet, far and near, in this way of life, marking them by baptism in the threefold name: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Then instruct them in the practice of all I have commanded you. I’ll be with you as you do this, day after day after day, right up to the end of the age.”
(NIV) 1 Corinthians 2: 1-5
And so it was with me, brothers and sisters. When I came to you, I did not come with eloquence or human wisdom as I proclaimed to you the testimony about God. For I resolved to know nothing while I was with you except Jesus Christ and him crucified. I came to you in weakness with great fear and trembling. 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.
29/4/19 Prophecy the Covering of God
I looked up to the skies, where my help comes from, and above me with wings extended, was a giant eagle. It stayed in the same position while moving its mighty wings gently in the air. From above the eagle, I watched as words spoken out from the throne room of heaven were falling to the earth. They passed by the eagle and his wings, and landed upon the earth below, where people rushed out and picked up the words that spoke into their inner core.
Beyond the reach of the eagle’s wings, I watched as words were being blown in the wind, but these words were being picked up from the earth below for these came from the minds and thoughts of man. These words mingled amongst the words from heaven, and many were picked up by mistake by those running around collecting as many words as possible, until all the words they had were too heavy to carry, and they began to stumble over the words and could not move forward anymore.
My family, My Prophetic Word over you is the covering of my heart entwined with yours. When you walk out the prophetic word I have spoken over you, there will be a time for you to rest in me, and pray and talk about what you have received. You will pour over my living word and seek out the paths that have been predestined for you to walk. For the completion of my prophetic word over you and your life may take a minute, a day, a week, a month, a year or a lifetime as we work it out together.
Test every word, for “My Word” will always bring “Supernatural Transformation”.
(NIV) 2 Peter 1: 20-21
Above all, you must understand that no prophecy of Scripture came about by the prophet’s own interpretation of things. For prophecy never had its origin in the human will, but prophets, though human, spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.
(NIV) Micah 2: 10-12
Get up, go away!
For this is not your resting place,
because it is defiled,
it is ruined, beyond all remedy.
If a liar and deceiver comes and says,
‘I will prophesy for you plenty of wine and beer,’
that would be just the prophet for this people!
“I will surely gather all of you, Jacob;
I will surely bring together the remnant of Israel.
I will bring them together like sheep in a pen,
like a flock in its pasture;
the place will throng with people.
(NIV) 2 Corinthians 3: 17-18
Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. And we all, who with unveiled faces contemplate the Lord’s glory, are being transformed into his image with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.
30/4/19 Corrective Lenses
When you were a child, many of you had to wear glasses, that had one eye covered or the other to bring your sight into alignment with the other eye. This took time, longer for some and shorter for others. It could be a challenging time for a child to wear these glasses to school and the playground.
But now we have so much more with Laser eye surgery and contact lenses.
Correction, my friends, can seem a harsh word in your life, but it says that I Love you enough to bring correction into your life and spiritual life. There are times when we all need to have our vision checked, to see that it is working with clarity, and that what we see in the spirit is healthy for ourselves and those around us.
The Holy Spirit has been sent to teach and train you, to see clearly, and as he brings correction, your gifts will align with My Revelation for this world and everyone on it.
It is time to remove the hoodwink from your vision which has been fashioned by the world to cause you to see dimly.
You have seen a great light.
(NIV) Matthew 6: 22-23
“The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are healthy, your whole body will be full of light. But if your eyes are unhealthy, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light within you is darkness, how great is that darkness!
(NIV) Matthew 4: 16-17
The people living in darkness
have seen a great light;
on those living in the land of the shadow of death
a light has dawned.”
From that time on Jesus began to preach, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven has come near.”
(NIV) 1 Corinthians 13: 11-12
When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me. For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.
