2/1/17 The Truth Shall Set “YOU” Free

Remove the blinkers from your eyes that you may see clearly what I have planned for you. Look out upon the valley filled with milk and honey, grass so green and covered by the most beautiful wild flowers, of every colour your mind could perceive.

Watch as the clear streams of running water, gently meander through, giving life to the trees and bounty to the land. See the might of the trees as they reach to the sky, and all the birds and animals that make these mighty giants their home, and place of safety.

Hear the gentle breath of my spirit, as it blows through the leaves and whispers my truth, into your spiritual ears.

This, my beautiful one, is your life in me.

(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 12: 27-28

“Consider how the wild flowers grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today, and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, how much more will he clothe you—you of little faith!

(NIV) Song of Songs 4: 9-10

You have stolen my heart, my sister, my bride;
you have stolen my heart
with one glance of your eyes,
with one jewel of your necklace.
How delightful is your love, my sister, my bride!
How much more pleasing is your love than wine,
and the fragrance of your perfume
more than any spice!

3/1/17 Roll up your Sleeves

As you my sons and daughters transition into this new season, be ready for the call as I am moving you into a place or readiness, for this is a year of harvest in the market places and in the harvest fields.

Roll up your sleeves for this is a time where your hands need to get dirty. The last season was for preparation for what lies ahead, it was a hard and tough season for many. I watched your character and fortitude come to the fore.

My daughters and sons you are my light and have been made ready for such a time as this, you are my reflection to a world slowly slipping into complete darkness. You have been through the valley of the shadow and came out into my pure light, you are dressed in righteousness and carry the sword of the Spirit.

(NIV) Psalm 23: 1-4

The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing.
He makes me lie down in green pastures,
he leads me beside quiet waters,
he refreshes my soul.
He guides me along the right paths
for his name’s sake.
Even though I walk
through the darkest valley,
I will fear no evil,
for you are with me;
your rod and your staff,
they comfort me.

(NIV) 2 Corinthians 9: 9-11

As it is written:

“They have freely scattered their gifts to the poor;
their righteousness endures forever.”

Now he who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will also supply and increase your store of seed and will enlarge the harvest of your righteousness. You will be enriched in every way so that you can be generous on every occasion, and through us your generosity will result in thanksgiving to God.

(NIV) Ephesians 2: 6-10

And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus,in order that in the coming ages he might show the incomparable riches of his grace, expressed in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus. 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.

4/1/17 The Lord Thy GOD

I am the wind that blows, wherever I choose, you will not see me but you will look in awe at my power. I am the rain that falls, I bring refreshing to dry and arid places, you can hear my roar as I flow fast down the Mountain Rivers. I am the humming bird as it collects the nectar, I am the honey of a million bees. I am the dawning of every morning, the stars and moon that light your path at night. I am the first snowflake of winter, I cover the land in Virgin White. I remove your sin as far as the east is to the west.

I Am The Lord thy God.

(NIV) Psalm 103:11-12

For as high as the heavens are above the earth,
so great is his love for those who fear him;
as far as the east is from the west,
so far has he removed our transgressions from us.

(NIV) Genesis 17:1b

“I am God Almighty; walk before me faithfully and be blameless.”

(NIV) Isaiah 48: 17

This is what the Lord says—
your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel:
“I am the Lord your God,
who teaches you what is best for you,
who directs you in the way you should go.

5/1/17 A New Horizon

I have watched and seen your many struggles. I have watched as you have held on and remained faithful even in the “Dark Night of the Soul”, not even knowing whether you would make it to morning or not. I have held you at your lowest moments.

Beloved as you lift your head this day, look forward and see that I am making a way out of the shadows of the valleys that you have been in. Look and see My sun rising on the horizon, bringing light and clarity to the way forward. No more will your path be hidden, but it will be illuminated by My Son. Let My light guide you into the future, no more fear, only trust me and allow me to lead you where you need to go.

(NIV) Psalm 56:3-4, 8-13

When I am afraid, I put my trust in you.
In God, whose word I praise—
in God I trust and am not afraid.
What can mere mortals do to me?

Record my misery;
list my tears on your scroll—
are they not in your record?
Then my enemies will turn back
when I call for help.
By this I will know that God is for me.
In God, whose word I praise,
in the Lord, whose word I praise—
in God I trust and am not afraid.
What can man do to me?
I am under vows to you, my God;
I will present my thank offerings to you.
For you have delivered me from death
and my feet from stumbling,
that I may walk before God
in the light of life.

(NIV) Psalm 23: 1-6

You prepare a table before me
in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil;
my cup overflows.
Surely your goodness and love will follow me
all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the Lord
forever.

6/1/17 Light of Discernment
Feelings are the whispers of our minds. They quietly become thoughts and slide undetected into truths. We begin to live out of and are trapped in a cloud of confusion and lies, created by our feelings. Friends become enemies overnight, that innocent look becomes dark and hurtful. Those we love are the focus of rebellion. We close in on ourselves as isolation becomes our home and we live with our feelings.

Friends and family, feelings in the right place, immersed in My spirit can be a useful tool, to test what stands around you. I say look deeper, as through My spirit there will be discernment, in every part of your life. See through spiritual eyes that have been awakened by My light.

You are free.

(NIV) Psalm 119: 125

I am your servant; give me discernment
that I may understand your statutes.

(NIV) Galatians 5: 13-14

You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh; rather, serve one another humbly in love. For the entire law is fulfilled in keeping this one command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.”

(NIV) Philippians 2: 1-3

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,

9/1/17 You are My Inspiration

What inspires you? A beautiful flower dripping with the morning dew, a stream bubbling as the sun glints off its shimmering surface, the cry of the eagle as it soars high in the sky, the cold crisp air of a mountain summit, the scream of laughter from a child, the words in a book written just for you?

I wrote a book and you are the reason, every word of my book carries my love to your heart, my book is a love story to my children, my family, my beloved, my bride.

Every word drips with my tenderness, pouring out over the eons of time, to bring inspiration to my chosen ones, each of you are set apart; your hearts carry my love letter to a love sick world.

(NIV) Psalm 4: 3

Know that the LORD has set apart his faithful servant for himself;
the LORD hears when I call to him.

(NIV) 1 Peter 4: 10-11

Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms. If anyone speaks, they should do so as one who speaks the very words of God. If anyone serves, they should do so with the strength God provides, so that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ. To him be the glory and the power for ever and ever. Amen.

(NIV) Revelation 3: 7b-8

These are the words of him who is holy and true, who holds the key of David. What he opens no one can shut, and what he shuts no one can open. I know your deeds. See, I have placed before you an open door that no one can shut. I know that you have little strength, yet you have kept my word and have not denied my name.

10/1/17Arms Wide Open

The time for running is over. I have watched as you have tried to run further and faster to escape from my call over your life and I have let you go, for I want you to come with a willing heart and spirit to me.

I will not force you, but I also will not let you go. There is nowhere you can go, that I won’t pursue you with my love. I am for you and will never leave you or abandon you.

I have called you by name, you are mine. I stand with my arms open wide waiting for you, won’t you come? Yield your life to me and I will restore you and lift you up.

(Message) Matthew 11: 28-30

“Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you’ll recover your life. I’ll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me—watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won’t lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you’ll learn to live freely and lightly.”

(NIV) Luke 8: 16-17

“No one lights a lamp and hides it in a clay jar or puts it under a bed. Instead, they put it on a stand, so that those who come in can see the light. For there is nothing hidden that will not be disclosed, and nothing concealed that will not be known or brought out into the open.

(NIV) John 10: 2-4

The one who enters by the gate is the shepherd of the sheep. The gatekeeper opens the gate for him, and the sheep listen to his voice. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. When he has brought out all his own, he goes on ahead of them, and his sheep follow him because they know his voice.

11/1/17 Empowered to Preach

What does a tail do? It swishes and keeps the flies off your butt. What does the head do? Well there is the fact that we have a mouth, a nose, ear, tongue, and a voice. We hear, we have a brain with understanding, we eat, we talk, we sing, we shout, we have eyes to see with. We see the beauty of the flowers, the landscapes painted by the hand of God himself, we worship, we dance to the music that passes through our ears, we kiss those we hold dear, we pray, we laugh, we read the Word of God, we cry, we love, we hope, we hear the first cry of our new born sons and daughters, we…….

I have called you to be the head and not the tail for the tail is all about butts, but I can’t do that, but I am not good enough, but I can’t understand the word as well as another, but I am less than everyone else, but I’m waiting to be called, but I will start tomorrow, but, but, but, ……….

Stand in your authority as the head, you carry my heart and the Holy Spirit lives in you. As my representative on this earth you are empowered to preach the good news.

(NIV) Deuteronomy 28:13

The LORD will make you the head, not the tail. If you pay attention to the commands of the LORD your God that I give you this day and carefully follow them, you will always be at the top, never at the bottom.

(NIV) Luke 10: 18-20

He replied, “I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven. I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you. However, do not rejoice that the spirits submit to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.”

(NIV) Mark 16: 14-16
Later Jesus appeared to the Eleven as they were eating; he rebuked them for their lack of faith and their stubborn refusal to believe those who had seen him after he had risen.

He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation. Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned.

12/1/17 Change your Thoughts, Change the Atmosphere.

My sons and daughters your thoughts can and will keep you trapped in a place of fear and control. When you awoke today what was the first thought in your mind “ wow I’m alive, I can do so much with this day, fill it with love and hope and peace, I can reach out to someone in pain and bring the healing grace of Christ Jesus into their life”.

Or did it go a bit more like this: Awww is that the time, I hate work, it’s your turn to get up with the children, where is my clean shirt, mum, mum, mum, man it’s raining I hate the rain, people are talking about me behind my back, I won’t trust anyone anymore. Really those shoes with that dress, I’m not a loveable person, no one gets me.

My sons and daughters I remind you that you carry the MIND of CHRIST, you are filled with the HOLY SPIRIT, your old man is dead, you are a NEW CREATION, take every thought captive in the BLOOD OF CHRIST.

Now start this day again, fully prepared for everyone you meet, with a smile and a laugh. You carry the authority to change the atmosphere wherever “YOU” go.

(NIV) 1 Corinthians 2: 10-16

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) Acts 2: 1-4

When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place. Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting. They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them. All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them.

(NIV) 2 Corinthians 5: 17-21

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here! All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting people’s sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation. We are therefore Christ’s ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ’s behalf: Be reconciled to God. God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.

(NIV) 2 Corinthians 10: 3-5

For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. 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.

13/1/17 United as One

My Beloved, I have fashioned for you the garments of praise, remove from your sight the grave clothes of the life you died to. The clothes of the desert are not needed now for I have carried you out of that desolate place and brought you into the land of milk and honey.

I will fill your mouth with words as and when you need them, I will release to you all good things, nothing will I hold back from you.

As you dance and sing, many will come and join with you. The poet will release words that will flow like the streams and rivers, the artist will paint with colours yet imagined on this earth. The worshipers will bring supernatural sounds of the universe, as all are united as one.

(NIV) Isaiah 61: 3

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 splendor.

(NIV) Psalm 84: 10-11

Better is one day in your courts
than a thousand elsewhere;
I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God
than dwell in the tents of the wicked.
For the LORD God is a sun and shield;
the LORD bestows favor and honor;
no good thing does he withhold
from those whose walk is blameless.

(NIV) 1 Corinthians 14: 7-8

Even in the case of lifeless things that make sounds, such as the pipe or harp, how will anyone know what tune is being played unless there is a distinction in the notes? Again, if the trumpet does not sound a clear call, who will get ready for battle?

16/1/17 I AM with YOU

My beloved sons and daughters, where there has been hesitation, and even confusion in your life, even your vision, for the path ahead, has been dulled by the circumstances surrounding you.

I am removing from your eyes the scales that the enemy has brought around you by his lies and deceit, to keep you fumbling in the dark.

I am releasing to you a clarity of Spiritual Sight, that will see through the plans and purposes of the enemy, you will see clearly into the lives of those around you and in my Spirit you will be able to speak directly to the woundings and call them out in my name.

I am revealing to you, the open pathways that I have ordained for your life from the very beginning of time. Walk in my footsteps for I have walked this path before you, so be assured and walk in boldness and confidence, for I am with you all the days of your life.

(NIV) Acts 9: 17-19
Then Ananias went to the house and entered it. Placing his hands on Saul, he said, “Brother Saul, the Lord—Jesus, who appeared to you on the road as you were coming here—has sent me so that you may see again and be filled with the Holy Spirit.” Immediately, something like scales fell from Saul’s eyes, and he could see again. He got up and was baptized, and after taking some food, he regained his strength.

(NIV) Psalm 16: 11
You make known to me the path of life;
you will fill me with joy in your presence,
with eternal pleasures at your right hand.

(NIV) 1 Corinthians 2: 12-14
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.

17/1/17 Judgements Torn Down

The Lord would remind you that as you meditate on Him 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 of others over your life, but rather look and see how your loving, Father looks at you. He sees you through 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

to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favour
and the day of vengeance of our God,
to comfort all who mourn,
and provide for those who grieve in Zion—
to bestow on them a crown of beauty
instead of ashes,
the oil of joy
instead of mourning,
and a garment of praise
instead of a spirit of despair.

They will be called oaks of righteousness,
a planting of the Lord
for the display of his splendour.
They will rebuild the ancient ruins
and restore the places long devastated;
they will renew the ruined cities
that have been devastated for generations.

18/1/17 Choice Morsels

There is a sickness trying to take hold in my church, it comes to bring separation and discord between brothers and sisters, between mothers and fathers, sons and daughters even between leaders. It flows in quietly to do its bidding among the pews, in the homes and lives of my family, it does not hold back from anyone, it sucks you in and contaminates your mind and will, until you join its dark embrace and freely run with it. What is it called? “GOSSIP” is its name, and destruction is its aim.

My beloved move away from this curse of gossip and those who speak it freely, allow my spirit to fill you and embrace all of you. Come under my wing and I will cover you and protect you from this pestilence.

Stand together, put on the full armour, and when you have done all you can, “STAND”.

(NIV) Proverbs 18: 8

The words of a gossip are like choice morsels;
they go down to the inmost parts.

(NIV) Romans 1:29

They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips,

(NIV) Psalm 57: 1-3

Have mercy on me, my God, have mercy on me,
for in you I take refuge.
I will take refuge in the shadow of your wings
until the disaster has passed.

I cry out to God Most High,
to God, who vindicates me.
He sends from heaven and saves me,
rebuking those who hotly pursue me
God sends forth his love and his faithfulness.

(NIV) Ephesians 6: 10-20

Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor 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 armor 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. Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.

And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people. Pray also for me, that whenever I speak, words may be given me so that I will fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel, for which I am an ambassador in chains. Pray that I may declare it fearlessly, as I should.

19/1/17 The Laughter of Children

You are My sons and daughters!

The tables are set. I watch as the feast begins, here they come, skipping and dancing, shouting and laughing, filled with freedom and awe. They chatter excitedly with one another, they come holding hands, some playing and jumping over puddles; they come and sit at the dinner table together. No one is different from the other, all are family sitting down together.

When you come before me, come as little children, be ready to listen and do what I ask. Feast upon the bounty that I have laid before you, the tables groan with the weight of the gifts that I Am releasing to you today.

(NIV) Hebrews 10: 24-25

And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching.

(NIV) Mark 10: 13-15

People were bringing little children to Jesus for him to place his hands on them, but the disciples rebuked them. When Jesus saw this, he was indignant. He said to them, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. Truly I tell you, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.”

(NIV) Psalm 23: 4-6

Even though I walk
through the darkest valley,
I will fear no evil,
for you are with me;
your rod and your staff,
they comfort me.

(NIV) Psalm 65: 11-12

You crown the year with your bounty,
and your carts overflow with abundance.
The grasslands of the wilderness overflow;
the hills are clothed with gladness.

20/1/17 Wired together

I watched as a map of the nation was revealed. On the map I saw locations all over the country from small towns to villages, from hamlets to cities. Above each place there was a small piece of electrical wiring, also there was a light which was on, yet it was subdued. As I looked across the map I began to watch as the electrical wires began to connect with one another and the lights began to shine brightly. There were connections being made across the nation by people and churches that would not normally have been together.

As we join together as the family of the living GOD, the power source flows freely through the connected wires and releases the full power upon our nation.

Now is the time my sons and daughters to put away your differences and stand together that, My Light will shine across the nations of this world and drive away the darkness.

(NIV) Matthew 4: 16

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.”

(NIV) Romans 12: 4-6

For just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function, so in Christ we, though many, form one body, and each member belongs to all the others. We have different gifts, according to the grace given to each of us. If your gift is prophesying, then prophesy in accordance with your faith;

(NIV) 1 Corinthians 1: 10

I appeal to you, brothers and sisters, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree with one another in what you say and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be perfectly united in mind and thought.

23/1/17 Pull Down the Stronghold

Many have become exasperated in the onslaught of the spiritual forces sent against them by our enemy. There has been a demonic attack upon many, of severe exhaustion and deep tiredness, even to the point that some have sat down, and others have built strongholds around their own lives and hearts, and will not allow anyone access.

Take your hands off the protective walls, and allow my love and favour to smash through these barriers of fear.

Once again stand up and put on the full armour. Sharpen and hone the cutting edge of your sword, for you will lay waste to the spiritual forces of our enemy.

You are called as a mighty warrior, not one who will shrink back in the face of the enemy but one who will lead the charge in MY Name.

(NIV) 2 Corinthians 10: 3-5

(NIV) Matthew 11: 27-30

“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. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”

(NIV) Zechariah 10: 4-5

From Judah will come the cornerstone,
from him the tent peg,
from him the battle bow,
from him every ruler.
Together they will be like warriors in battle
trampling their enemy into the mud of the streets.
They will fight because the Lord is with them,
and they will put the enemy horsemen to shame.

24/1/17 Shaping a Nation

My beloved family, you are called, and have been released with all supernatural authority, to shape your nation, into the fulfilment of My Kingdom plans and purposes. As you release your voice in prayer and shout out your declarations and decrees, you will watch your nation and its people come into alignment with My heart.

Celebrate, for the time is fast approaching, it will be like the twinkling of an eye, and millions upon millions will come up out of the harvest fields, new beings, washed in my blood wearing cloaks of righteousness.

They will become the shape of your nation, as they too enter the celebration of the greatest harvest ever known to mankind.

(NIV) 1 Peter 2: 9-10a

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;

(NIV) Isaiah 61: 9-11

Their descendants will be known among the nations
and their offspring among the peoples.
All who see them will acknowledge
that they are a people the Lord has blessed.”

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.
For as the soil makes the sprout come up
and a garden causes seeds to grow,
so the Sovereign Lord will make righteousness
and praise spring up before all nations.

(NIV) Acts 4:12

Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved.”

25/1/17 Piercing through

Beloved, I give you My eyes to see that which is happening. My eyes see the motives and desires behind men’s voices. My eyes pierce the darkness and lay bare men’s souls. Nothing in all creation is hidden from My sight.

I too want you to be aware of the times and seasons that you find yourself in. The tensions are evident but when I give you My revelation and knowledge, then you will know how to fight in such a way that you will win.

Be assured that My strong arm will fight for and with you. Let your gaze align with Mine so that we can pierce through all that stands against My Kingdom.

(NIV) 1 Corinthians 12: 8

To one there is given through the Spirit a message of wisdom, to another a message of knowledge by means of the same Spirit,..

(NIV) Revelation 1: 12-14

I turned around to see the voice that was speaking to me. And when I turned I saw seven golden lamp stands, and among the lamp stands was someone like a son of man, dressed in a robe reaching down to his feet and with a golden sash around his chest. The hair on his head was white like wool, as white as snow, and his eyes were like blazing fire.

(NIV) Ephesians 1: 17

I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better.

26/1/17 Listen

Beloved, I have called you to listen. Let your ears be attentive to My voice and not that of the world around you. Many will try to turn your ears to them, to try to convince you that their ways are right and Mine are wrong.

I AM who I AM. I will never change, nor will I be turned from the plan and destiny that I have for your life.

Come to me afresh and let My words saturate, not only your mind but your heart. Allow them to penetrate to the very core of your being, so that they again become wellsprings of life, bringing joy and delight to your heart. Let My words fill those barren places, those places of deep longing inside you.

(NIV) Psalm 1: 1-3

Blessed is the one
who does not walk in step with the wicked
or stand in the way that sinners take
or sit in the company of mockers,
but whose delight is in the law of the Lord,
and who meditates on his law day and night.
That person is like a tree planted by streams of water,
which yields its fruit in season
and whose leaf does not wither—
whatever they do prospers.

(NIV) Isaiah 30: 21

Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, “This is the way; walk in it.”

(NIV) James 1: 5

If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.

27/1/17 Open Heaven

Do you not see and do you not know that I have opened the windows of heaven? I have blessed you with every spiritual blessing in My Son, Jesus. I have promised Him the nations and the ends of the earth as His inheritance. Why then do you think that I will give you less? You are in Him and He is in you. You are betrothed to Him. It is forever settled in Heaven. The final books have been written. You are mine even from before the creation of the world.

Stand up! Gird yourself with courage and face the new day afresh. Remember who you are and to whom you belong. Take the place that I have assigned for you. I will display My glory in and through you. Let your voice arise. Take back your authority. Raise your sword. You will yet see and know My Kingdom rule and reign.

(NIV) Ephesians 1: 3-14

Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ. For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight. In love he predestined us for adoption to sonship through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will— to the praise of his glorious grace, which he has freely given us in the One he loves. In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace that he lavished on us. With all wisdom and understanding, he made known to us the mystery of his will according to his good pleasure, which he purposed in Christ, to be put into effect when the times reach their fulfilment—to bring unity to all things in heaven and on earth under Christ.

In him we were also chosen, having been predestined according to the plan of him who works out everything in conformity with the purpose of his will, in order that we, who were the first to put our hope in Christ, might be for the praise of his glory. And you also were included in Christ when you heard the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation. When you believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God’s possession—to the praise of his glory.

(NIV) Psalm 2: 8

Ask me,
and I will make the nations your inheritance,
the ends of the earth your possession.

(NIV) John 1: 51

He then added, “Very truly I tell you, you will see ‘heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending on’ the Son of Man.”

30/1/17 National Bride of Unity

As you prepare for our wedding day and eternity together, know that I AM building together all who come in my name.

Each Nation, City, Town and Village, every man, woman and child who calls My Name, I will come running to you and enclose you in my embrace. You will feel my heartbeat for you, and you will know my peace beyond understanding.

Your Nation is your harvest field. There are many beloved, that are ready to hear my heart through your song and dance. There are those who will come leaping and shouting into freedom because of a loving touch or kind word.

All will meet with me and Salvation will come to your Nation, like Living Water it will flow through your streets and in and out of every home. No life will be left untouched as we send out our Marriage Invitations to a love sick world.

R.S.V.P.

(NIV) Colossians 3: 13-15

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.

(NIV) John 4: 34-36

“My food,” said Jesus, “is to do the will of him who sent me and to finish his work. Don’t you have a saying, ‘It’s still four months until harvest’? I tell you, open your eyes and look at the fields! They are ripe for harvest. Even now the one who reaps draws a wage and harvests a crop for eternal life, so that the sower and the reaper may be glad together.

(NIV) Matthew 22: 1-14

Jesus spoke to them again in parables, saying: “The kingdom of heaven is like a king who prepared a wedding banquet for his son. He sent his servants to those who had been invited to the banquet to tell them to come, but they refused to come.

“Then he sent some more servants and said, ‘Tell those who have been invited that I have prepared my dinner: My oxen and fattened cattle have been butchered, and everything is ready. Come to the wedding banquet.’

“But they paid no attention and went off—one to his field, another to his business. The rest seized his servants, mistreated them and killed them. The king was enraged. He sent his army and destroyed those murderers and burned their city.

“Then he said to his servants, ‘The wedding banquet is ready, but those I invited did not deserve to come. So go to the street corners and invite to the banquet anyone you find.’ So the servants went out into the streets and gathered all the people they could find, the bad as well as the good, and the wedding hall was filled with guests.

“But when the king came in to see the guests, he noticed a man there who was not wearing wedding clothes. 12 He asked, ‘How did you get in here without wedding clothes, friend?’ The man was speechless.

“Then the king told the attendants, ‘Tie him hand and foot, and throw him outside, into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’

“For many are invited, but few are chosen.”

31/1/17 Set Time

For surely I have set the time for My Sons’ return. Every eye will see and every heart will know of His return. No one will miss that day, not one.

Yet, I ask you, “Are you ready?”

Will you rejoice at His return, will your heart melt with love and adoration knowing it is your bridegroom? Or will you melt with fear knowing that you are not ready?

My heart is that you would be prepared and ready. Surely He is returning for His pure and spotless bride. He is lovesick for her and longs for the day when I release Him to go and claim her as His own for all eternity. Even in that second you will be changed in the twinkling of an eye.

The room is prepared and the table is set. Are you ready?

(NIV) Mark 13:32-33

But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. Be on guard! Be alert! You do not know when that time will come.

(NIV) Revelation 19:7

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.

(NIV) 1 Corinthians 15:51-52

Listen, I tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed— in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed.
