1/1/18 I AM Found

As each of you has moved through the year 2017 and into the New Year of 2018, you will have been aware of the intensity of emotional warfare that came upon you and your personal life. You watched as friends and family stepped away from you and left you in a kind of emotional mush.

You have come through a season of sifting, as gold is heated up to high temperatures the dross and rubbish comes to the top and is skimmed off, this is done seven times until only the purest gold remains.

You, my family, have been in the heat of the furnace right at its heart. 2017 was an eye opener for the many, for as the daily onslaught continued in your life, work, family and especially in church. The sifting brought to the fore the places within you that needed to be brought to the foot of the cross. You have become so sensitive to the moving and whisper of the Holy Spirit, as each layer of revelation of self has been repented of and removed.

Each of you stand today on the 1st of January 2018, refreshed, renewed with a depth of excitement as those who have been called, anointed and prepared. You are the spear head of my army, as each of you are trained in supernatural combat and I send you out into the battle fields filled with My Kingdom Authority.

You will search out those who have been disenfranchised and forgotten by society. There will be many that have been hurt in the pews and some will be found in positions of power over my people who have found the road harder to walk on.

A fresh wave of supernatural love and worship will be released. It will be birthed from the heart of those who know me personally. Your worship will be the starting place for everything that is coming, as we dance together in the secret places.

Awe, will be the starting place as miracle after miracle is released. Cancer will be healed by the laying on of hands. The dead will rise, the lame will walk and the blind will see in MY NAME!

The eyes of mankind will be lifted to the heavens and they will know that I AM the LORD THY GOD.

(NIV) Luke 22: 31-32

“Simon, Simon, Satan has asked to sift all of you as wheat. But I have prayed for you, Simon, that your faith may not fail. And when you have turned back, strengthen your brothers.”

(NIV) 1 Peter 1: 6-8

In all this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials. These have come so that the proven genuineness of your faith—of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire—may result in praise, glory and honour when Jesus Christ is revealed. Though you have not seen him, you love him; and even though you do not see him now, you believe in him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy.

(NIV) Philippians 2: 2-4

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, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others.

(NIV) 1 Corinthians 14: 8

Again, if the trumpet does not sound a clear call, who will get ready for battle?

(NIV) Hebrews 12: 27-29

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) Revelation 1: 7-8

“Look, he is coming with the clouds,”
and “every eye will see him,
even those who pierced him”;
and all peoples on earth “will mourn because of him.”
So shall it be! Amen.

“I am the Alpha and the Omega,” says the Lord God, “who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty.”

2/1/18 Release the baton

There is a butterfly called the Painted Lady. Yearly it migrates from Tropical Africa to the Arctic Circle, before it starts its’ migration back to Africa.

The whole journey is not undertaken by individual butterflies but is a series of steps by up to six successive generations so Painted Ladies returning to Africa in the autumn are several generations removed from their ancestors who left Africa earlier in the year.

Beloved, you are on a journey that will take many generations to complete. Just look at Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and then his twelve sons. They became a multitude, but it took several generations to grow to the millions that left Egypt for the Promised Land. Not all generations were present on their onwards journey, but they passed the baton to each generation behind them and now they have returned to their promised land.

Look, see and learn from the generations in front and behind you, but do not wait too long before you release the baton of righteousness and godliness to them. This journey you are all on is one for the Kingdom of God, not merely your own. Your journey is part of history, His Story, let it be revealed.

(NIV) Exodus 3: 6

Moreover He said, “I am the God of your father—the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.” And Moses hid his face, for he was afraid to look upon God.

(NIV) Matthew 1: 17

So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations, from David until the captivity in Babylon are fourteen generations, and from the captivity in Babylon until the Christ are fourteen generations.

(NIV) Ephesians 3: 20-21

Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.

(NIV) 1 Peter 2: 9

But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvellous light;

3/1/18 Eyes wide open

Wake up! Wake up! Do you not hear the alarm ringing? The timing of My alarm is perfect. Realise that today your salvation is nearer than when you first believed.

Come on wake up sleepy head! Open wide your eyes and see that the time is short. I AM coming sooner than you think. I will have a beautiful bride who is set apart and whose heart is fully fixed on Me. One who knows My cleansing, My anointing and who has been clothed by Me in the most exquisite finery.

I have forgiven you, no more are you desolate, no more rejected but, you are now one who is accepted, loved and utterly adored.

My beloved it is now time to put on your army boots, take up your weapons and arise to take your stand and watch. You stand in the gap for many at this hour. So keep your eyes wide open!

(NIV) Romans 13: 11

[ Put on Christ ] And do this, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep; for now our salvation is nearer than when we first believed.

(NV) Isaiah 1: 18-19

“Come now, and let us reason together,”
Says the Lord,
“Though your sins are like scarlet,
They shall be as white as snow;
Though they are red like crimson,
They shall be as wool.
If you are willing and obedient,
You shall eat the good of the land;

(NIV) Ezekiel 16: 8b-14

Yes, I swore an oath to you and entered into a covenant with you, and you became Mine,” says the Lord God.

“Then I washed you in water; yes, I thoroughly washed off your blood, and I anointed you with oil. I clothed you in embroidered cloth and gave you sandals of badger skin; I clothed you with fine linen and covered you with silk. I adorned you with ornaments, put bracelets on your wrists, and a chain on your neck. And I put a jewel in your nose, earrings in your ears, and a beautiful crown on your head. Thus you were adorned with gold and silver, and your clothing was of fine linen, silk, and embroidered cloth. You ate pastry of fine flour, honey, and oil. You were exceedingly beautiful, and succeeded to royalty. Your fame went out among the nations because of your beauty, for it was perfect through My splendour which I had bestowed on you,” says the Lord God.

(NIV) Ezekiel 3: 16-17

Now it came to pass at the end of seven days that the word of the Lord came to me, saying, “Son of man, I have made you a watchman for the house of Israel; therefore hear a word from My mouth, and give them warning from Me.

4/1/18 Searching

You will seek Me and find Me, when you seek Me with all your heart. I do not hide My face from you. Nor do I turn away from you. My eye is always on you and I know the path you take. Know that I have gone before you and have prepared a place for you. My plan is perfect. Be strong and courageous, be very strong and courageous!

I have concealed things from the wise and revealed them to those who are foolish in the eyes of the world. Even now, in My glory, I have chosen to conceal matters so that you may have the glory of searching them out. I am your greatest treasure and you are mine.

I have held your arms up when you have become tired as the battle field of your life has taken its toll. You have sunk to your knees in prayer and cried out in the dark night of the soul.

When you had nothing left to give, you surrendered all to ME! Now it is I that lives through every part of you, every thought is now captive; every action is birthed in Kingdom wisdom. Your heart reflects my heart and your love abounds to the lost.

(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.

(NIV) Psalm 23: 1-6

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.

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
for ever.

(NIV) Philippians 1: 19-21

For I know that through your prayers and God’s provision of the Spirit of Jesus Christ what has happened to me will turn out for my deliverance. I eagerly expect and hope that I will in no way be ashamed, but will have sufficient courage so that now as always Christ will be exalted in my body, whether by life or by death. For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain.

5/1/18 Searching

I have held your arms up when you have become tired as the battle field of your life has taken its toll. You have sunk to your knees in prayer and cried out in the dark night of the soul.

(NIV) Jeremiah 29: 12-14a

(NIV) Psalm 23: 1-6

(NIV) Philippians 1: 19-21

8/1/18 Home Address

When your feet are firmly fixed upon the earth, so shall be your will, and all your thoughts will also be earth bound.

My family, cast off all that shackles you to this mortal realm, and fix your spiritual gaze upon your eternal home, for you are already citizens of My Kingdom. Know that father is preparing your mansion, and all that is yours as Sons and Daughters, has been revealed to you in the supernatural.

All authority that you require, to establish your forward command post upon this earth, has been given to you and nothing has been held back. You carry the mantle of revival and the anointing of your eternal calling.

In your hands, there is the spark that will bring the flames of redemption to their fullness in every life you touch, as Salvation explodes into life all over this earth. Miracles will flow and there will be no understanding in mans’ mind to how they came about.

Kings and Queens, Governments and Nations will call upon you to touch the sick and dying and you will lead them to the Cross and Eternal Salvation in ME!

(NIV) Isaiah 58: 6

“Is not this the kind of fasting I have chosen:
to loose the chains of injustice
and untie the cords of the yoke,
to set the oppressed free
and break every yoke?

(NIV) Ephesians 2: 18-20

For through him we both have access to the Father by one Spirit.

Consequently, you are no longer foreigners and strangers, but fellow citizens with God’s people and also members of his household, built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the chief cornerstone.

(NIV) 2 Corinthians 6: 2

For he says,

“In the time of my favour I heard you,
and in the day of salvation I helped you.”
I tell you, now is the time of God’s favour, now is the day of salvation.

9/1/18 Tears of Transformation

Transformation is a process that takes time and renewal in your life. There will be times when your tears will flow freely and you will sense utter devastation in the core of your being. As you move through this season, the awakening in your spiritual heart will bring to the fore the depth of your relationship for one another.

Only when we are together in complete unity will you begin to hear my whisper and you will become my voice. People will sense that you are one who will empathise with all that they are going through, and will stand with them as they too move through transformation.

Be strong and know that your tears are a sign of your strength, as you release all your cares to me.

(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.

(NIV) Ephesians 4: 1-3

As a prisoner for the Lord, then, I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received. Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace.

(NIV) Hebrews 5: 6-8

And he says in another place,

“You are a priest forever,
in the order of Melchizedek.”

During the days of Jesus’ life on earth, he offered up prayers and petitions with fervent cries and tears to the one who could save him from death, and he was heard because of his reverent submission. Son though he was, he learned obedience from what he suffered

10/1/18 Open doors

Many of you have pushed at certain doors however they have remained shut or, at the very least have opened a little to allow you a peak through, without seeing the fullness. Now is the time to push the doors again, for this time they will swing open. Do not lose heart and give up, try again. Push forward into the dreams and visions that I have given you.

The alignment of all that I have promised is now coming into being, an alignment of circumstances, people and situations. You will flow easily into that which I have called you to, those things you have waited years to take hold of.

My doors of opportunity are opening before you. Be brave and courageous and step forward into your future, and soar with Me on eagles wings, mounting and gliding on the thermals of My eternal grace.

(NIV) Luke 11: 9-10

‘So I say to you: ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.

(NIV) Revelation 3: 7-9

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.

(NIV) Luke 18: 1-8

Then Jesus told his disciples a parable to show them that they should always pray and not give up. He said: ‘In a certain town there was a judge who neither feared God nor cared what people thought. And there was a widow in that town who kept coming to him with the plea, “Grant me justice against my adversary.”

‘For some time he refused. But finally he said to himself, “Even though I don’t fear God or care what people think, yet because this widow keeps bothering me, I will see that she gets justice, so that she won’t eventually come and attack me!”’

And the Lord said, ‘Listen to what the unjust judge says. And will not God bring about justice for his chosen ones, who cry out to him day and night? Will he keep putting them off? I tell you, he will see that they get justice, and quickly. However, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?’

11/1/18 Choose Wisely

Whom shall you serve?

The world has a place chosen for you, it does not fit your life but, it will reflect what the world thinks of you, and how you will fit the encompassing box that will surround your every thought and action.

Satan seeks to close you down and destroy all that I have brought to life within you. He has a plan and purpose for your life too but it only glorifies his hopelessness as he feeds from your loss and pain.

Choose wisely today, and as you awake and stretch in the dawn of a new day, know that you are safe in supernatural freedom of kingdom life. Speak to me and lift your voice in worship, as you command the atmosphere to shift, as the Holy Spirit fills you with the promises spoken over your family, friends, neighbours and community.

Stand up and walk with confidence as there is nothing to hinder your progress, for the whole world is your harvest field and everyone in it. Those that have been promised through prayer, yes, the prodigals will begin to come home and you will see the valley of dry bones come to life before your eyes.

(NIV) Joshua 24: 14-15

“Now fear the Lord and serve him with all faithfulness. Throw away the gods your ancestors worshiped beyond the Euphrates River and in Egypt, and serve the Lord. But if serving the Lord seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your ancestors served beyond the Euphrates, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you are living. But as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord.”

(NIV) 2 Corinthians 1: 19-21

For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us—by me and Silas and Timothy—was not “Yes” and “No,” but in him it has always been “Yes.” For no matter how many promises God has made, they are “Yes” in Christ. And so through him the “Amen” is spoken by us to the glory of God. Now it is God who makes both us and you stand firm in Christ. He anointed us,

(NIV) Luke 15: 24

For this son of mine was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.’ So they began to celebrate.

(NIV) Ezekiel 37: 1-10

The hand of the Lord was on me, and he brought me out by the Spirit of the Lord and set me in the middle of a valley; it was full of bones. He led me back and forth among them, and I saw a great many bones on the floor of the valley, bones that were very dry. He asked me, “Son of man, can these bones live?”

I said, “Sovereign Lord, you alone know.”

Then he said to me, “Prophesy to these bones and say to them, ‘Dry bones, hear the word of the Lord! This is what the Sovereign Lord says to these bones: I will make breath enter you, and you will come to life. I will attach tendons to you and make flesh come upon you and cover you with skin; I will put breath in you, and you will come to life. Then you will know that I am the Lord.’”

So I prophesied as I was commanded. And as I was prophesying, there was a noise, a rattling sound, and the bones came together, bone to bone. I looked, and tendons and flesh appeared on them and skin covered them, but there was no breath in them.

Then he said to me, “Prophesy to the breath; prophesy, son of man, and say to it, ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: Come, breath, from the four winds and breathe into these slain, that they may live.’” So I prophesied as he commanded me, and breath entered them; they came to life and stood up on their feet—a vast army.

12/1/18 Righteous Fire

I watched as flames like living water poured from your hands. It flowed freely and dripped from between your fingers. The ground around your feet began to burn, and the flames of fire began to spread across the ground. As a stream bursts its bank during a flood, the living fire will not be held back by any man made structure.

The Holy Spirit is sending forth a flood of fire that will leave nothing untouched by its supernatural cleansing. You, my family, will be the forerunners of my purifying fire, as I call each of you to a life of purity.

Righteousness and Love will be my battle standards and only through the fire of adversity will you understand the depth of my love for you.

Your walk will be birthed in righteousness, as I have called you to the narrow path and anointed you to release my living fire.

(NIV) Isaiah 43: 1-3a

But now, this is what the Lord says—
he who created you, Jacob,
he who formed you, Israel:
“Do not fear, for I have redeemed you;
I have summoned you by name; you are mine.
When you pass through the waters,
I will be with you;
and when you pass through the rivers,
they will not sweep over you.
When you walk through the fire,
you will not be burned;
the flames will not set you ablaze.
For I am the Lord your God,
the Holy One of Israel, your Saviour.

(NIV) Song of Songs 2: 4

Let him lead me to the banquet hall,
and let his banner over me be love.

(NIV) 2 Timothy 2: 21-22

Those who cleanse themselves from the latter will be instruments for special purposes, made holy, useful to the Master and prepared to do any good work.

Flee the evil desires of youth and pursue righteousness, faith, love and peace, along with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart.

15/1/18 The Office of Accountability

There are many who say “I want to be an Apostle or I want to be a Prophet” and for some it’s, I would make a good teacher or preacher and yet there are those who have taken upon themselves the office that was not given to them. They say they carry the anointing and speak freely into people’s lives, even when they are consumed by their own confusion and lust for power and authority. For some it’s to gain position and riches, from the people who are hungry to hear the good news and the revelation of the treasure in their own lives. They will follow blindly after those who make them feel good with open wallets and purses.

They will live in mighty houses and magnificent buildings, surrounded by the opulence of fame and fortune, while those they deceive will live in spiritual poverty as they hunger after my true revelation in their lives.

The Office and Mantels that I release are for men and women that I have called by Name! They have walked through the fire and they do not carry the mantle as a weight for they are intimately known to me and they know my yoke is light. Each one of my family are aware of the accountability of the Office that I have anointed them for and they did not pick it up lightly.

The scars on their knees bear witness to the prayer warriors that they are. They are humble, rich and poor. Only a True Apostle, Prophet, Evangelist, Pastor and Teacher will understand the fullness of their servant heart.

Each will stand before me and give an account of their actions.

(NIV) Matthew 12: 30-37

“Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not gather with me scatters. And so I tell you, every kind of sin and slander can be forgiven, but blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven. Anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but anyone who speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in this age or in the age to come.

“Make a tree good and its fruit will be good, or make a tree bad and its fruit will be bad, for a tree is recognised by its fruit. You brood of vipers, how can you who are evil say anything good? For the mouth speaks what the heart is full of. A good man brings good things out of the good stored up in him, and an evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in him. But I tell you that everyone will have to give account on the Day of Judgement for every empty word they have spoken. For by your words you will be acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned.”

(NIV) Ephesians 4: 11-16

So Christ himself gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and teachers, to equip his people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ.

Then we will no longer be infants, tossed back and forth by the waves, and blown here and there by every wind of teaching and by the cunning and craftiness of people in their deceitful scheming. Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will grow to become in every respect the mature body of him who is the head, that is, Christ. From him the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its work.

(NIV) Luke 22: 24-30

A dispute also arose among them as to which of them was considered to be greatest. Jesus said to them, “The kings of the Gentiles lord it over them; and those who exercise authority over them call themselves Benefactors. But you are not to be like that. Instead, the greatest among you should be like the youngest, and the one who rules like the one who serves. For who is greater, the one who is at the table or the one who serves? Is it not the one who is at the table? But I am among you as one who serves. You are those who have stood by me in my trials. And I confer on you a kingdom, just as my Father conferred one on me, so that you may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom and sit on thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

16/1/18 Weighty Words

I watched people walking along a street and as this vision opened up to me, I became aware of each one carrying a satchel upon their backs. The satchels were over their shoulders, connected by straps, these were loosely fitted, and caused the satchel to bump against them. It would be easy for the person to shrug off the straps. On the back of the satchels there was a book facing behind the wearer and the book was closed.

As I watched there were people, singles and groups, coming up behind the people wearing the satchels, and they would open the book and write in it, then close the book and walk away. As the time went on many came and did the same, and I began to watch the person carrying the satchel become weary and tired. The weight of the book and the words written in it was becoming too heavy for the person to carry.

Then one after the other people began to shrug off their shoulders, the satchels and free themselves, of the books and weighty words spoken over them by others. They placed them together in the middle of the street, and as they prayed, I watched Holy Spirit Fire fall upon these words of entrapment, and they burned until nothing remained.

My family, take off what others have tried to leave with you. Do not carry the weight of the words that are sent out to bring exhaustion and frustration. You are not the sum of any ones thoughts.

You are being transformed, through the renewing of your mind, as you Supernaturally Transform, into my likeness.

The words you carry are light and easy, these words are from My Heart to your heart, they are.

Yes and Amen.

(NIV) Proverbs 16: 11a

Honest scales and balances belong to the Lord;

(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.

(NIV) 2 Corinthians 3: 17-18

(NIV) 2 Corinthians 1: 20

For no matter how many promises God has made, they are “Yes” in Christ. And so through him the “Amen” is spoken by us to the glory of God.

17/1/18 Blessing beyond the Tree

I have planted you as a sapling into good soil. You have grown and taken deep root beneath the earth, and your roots spread out to collect the refreshing that I pour out upon you. As I send the rain, wind and sun and the seasons move through their cycle, you grow until you stand as a mighty oak, which gives shelter and protection to all.

I have set you as one, whom I have found such strength in. When the wind blows and the storm hits you bend but do not break. When the heavens release their refreshing rain, it falls down and through the foliage, and sinks down beneath the grass and travels all the way to your outstretched roots and then on and into the flowers of the fields and eventually it fills the water table of the land. The streams and rivers begin to flow and life returns to the earth surrounding you.

You are called to be the centre of your community, family and church. Release my refreshing and watch the new saplings begin to grow under your watchful gaze. Cover them with the limbs and branches for protection, but give them enough room to grow in the warmth of the love of my Son.

(NIV) Isaiah 61: 3b

They will be called oaks of righteousness,
a planting of the Lord
for the display of his splendour.

(NIV) Psalm 91: 1-3

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.

(NIV) Proverbs 11: 25

A generous person will prosper;
whoever refreshes others will be refreshed.

(NIV) 2 Peter 3: 17-18

Therefore, dear friends, since you have been forewarned, be on your guard so that you may not be carried away by the error of the lawless and fall from your secure position. But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and forever! Amen.

18/1/18 The ROAR within the Fire

My family open your spiritual ears and sense the earth beneath your feet shudder as I release My Roar. The fire of transformation is loosed upon the earth. The wind of my breath released from my Roar, will fan the flames into an inferno of supernatural awakening.

The sin that so easily tries to capture you will turn to ash, and everything that brings fear to your doorstep will be washed clean by Holy Spirit fire.

Hear my voice within the flames, as I bring unity to my sons and daughters, and as living flames you will rise together all over this world. Like the mighty forest fires that cover the horizon you will become the beacon of my eternal flame of love to mankind.

Roar with Me! Release your sound, let it rise from within your core, and as we Roar together, sense the heat of your calling, as it transforms you from captivity to Freedom.

(NIV) Hosea 11: 10-11

They will follow the Lord;
he will roar like a lion.
When he roars,
his children will come trembling from the west.
They will come from Egypt,
trembling like sparrows,
from Assyria, fluttering like doves.
I will settle them in their homes,”
declares the Lord.

(NIV) 2 Timothy 1: 6-7

For this reason I remind you to fan into flame the gift of God, which is in you through the laying on of my hands. For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline.

(NIV) Hebrews 1: 7

In speaking of the angels he says,
“He makes his angels spirits,
and his servants flames of fire.”

(NIV) Acts 2: 2-4

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.

19/1/18 Map Book

I have given into your hand a book of maps. They are to give you direction for this coming season and beyond. The pages are filled to the minutest detail, which will give the reader, the trails to walk on safely, that will bring you to your journeys end, while being supernaturally refreshed and fed with the wholesomeness of every word.

This book is called the Bible which is My Living Word. It was written and created for you, My Friend, to follow every day of your life. Each fresh adventure that you are called into will find its bearing between these pages.

Share it openly with fellow travellers, as it will bring Life into dry and arid places. The Well of its content as it pours forth, is like a spring of living water, and will gush upon the land and make fertile that which is infertile.

Never leave home without it.

(NIV) Proverbs 3: 5-6

Trust in the Lord with all your heart
and lean not on your own understanding;
in all your ways submit to him,
and he will make your paths straight.

(NIV) Isaiah 43: 2-3a

When you pass through the waters,
I will be with you;
and when you pass through the rivers,
they will not sweep over you.
When you walk through the fire,
you will not be burned;
the flames will not set you ablaze.
For I am the Lord your God,
the Holy One of Israel, your Saviour;

(NIV) Isaiah 58: 10-11

And if you spend yourselves in behalf of the hungry
and satisfy the needs of the oppressed,
then your light will rise in the darkness,
and your night will become like the noonday.
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) 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.

22/1/18 Into My Depths

I am calling you to come deeper into Me, to lose yourself in the depth of My love. I call for your sweet surrender. To leave behind the things of the past, the joys, hurts, wounds, delights and betrayals. For as you lose yourself in Me, I will bring healing, release and conclusion to these things.

Just as a stone is thrown into the depths, it sinks as far as the ocean floor. It cannot float to the surface by its own will. As you release yourself and surrender to Me, I will bring you back to the surface, refined and honed by My love and passion.

I will set you in the place I have planned for you. A place that will fulfil My calling upon your life. I can only do that as you willing choose to let go and come into My depths. I would have you live no longer for yourself, but that My life would flow through you, expressing My love to a love sick world.

(NIV) Psalm 42: 7

Deep calls to deep
in the roar of your waterfalls;
all your waves and breakers
have swept over me.

(NIV) Matthew 16: 24-25

Then Jesus said to his disciples, “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me. For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will find it.

(NIV) Psalm 86: 13

For great is your love toward me;
you have delivered me from the depths,
from the realm of the dead.

(NIV) Matthew 29: 39, 42, 44

Going a little farther, he fell with his face to the ground and prayed, “My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will.”

He went away a second time and prayed, “My Father, if it is not possible for this cup to be taken away unless I drink it, may your will be done.”

So he left them and went away once more and prayed the third time, saying the same thing.

23/1/18 Production Line Christianity

You, my friend, were never created to look like the person behind you or in front of you. There are no production lines that spit out carbon copy after carbon copy. I have created you in My Image and yet you are still you.

You come with all the emotions and character that you had from birth, your hair will be long, short or none at all. You will laugh or cry, shout or be silent; tall or maybe short and you will like different food from those around you.

I created individuals who carry my heart, who will go into the villages and cities to make known My call to salvation for every individual that you meet. They will come with their individual lives that look different from yours but, each of them needs you, as you are my witness.

(NIV) Genesis 1: 26-27

Then God said, “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.”

So God created mankind in his own image,
in the image of God he created them;
male and female he created them.

(NIV) Acts 13: 47

For this is what the Lord has commanded us:
“‘I have made you a light for the Gentiles,
that you may bring salvation to the ends of the earth.’ ”

(NIV) Acts 22: 14-15

“Then he said: ‘The God of our ancestors has chosen you to know his will and to see the Righteous One and to hear words from his mouth. You will be his witness to all people of what you have seen and heard.

24/1/18 Balanced

My touch upon your life brings balance and restoration to your thoughts and emotions. My touch is easy and light and it will not burden you further. Man would put rules and regulations on you that you are required to meet, before you are acceptable.

I say to you today, “YOU ARE ACCEPTABLE” in My sight and nothing can separate you from Me, neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth,nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate you from My love.

I am bringing the scales of justice into balance. I am the God of justice, mercy and righteousness. My shepherds are arising who will be just like Me and will display My glory throughout the earth. They will be men and women who have studied to show themselves approved but they will also be those who carry the intimacy and understanding of My heart. They will bring balance in every aspect.

(NIV) Romans 8: 37-39

No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

(NIV) Matthew 23: 23

“Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You give a tenth of your spices—mint, dill and cumin. But you have neglected the more important matters of the law—justice, mercy and faithfulness. You should have practiced the latter, without neglecting the former.

(NIV) 2 Timothy 2: 15
Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth.

25/1/18 Kingdom of LOVE

I AM calling my family, and YES, that is “YOU” to LOVE one another as I LOVE “YOU”.

There are many who wish to be loved, and yet they do not fulfil the need of love, in others. My command to you is love one another. Even when the person says nasty and horrible things to you, I have given you grace, you too shall release grace to all in your life.

As you judge those around you, to that merit, so will you be judged. It is time My Family, to take off all that the enemy tries to snare you with, and break the chains of conformity, to a world that cannot see its headlong fall into sin and unrepentance.

You will know My Family by their love one for another. “YOU” are My representatives here on earth and reflect the Kingdom of Love to the lost and hungry. The harvest fields are full and ready to be reaped but this can only happen when you are filled with My Love.

(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.

(NIV) 1 Corinthians 13: 3-5

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.

(NIV) Matthew 7: 1-3

“Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.

“Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye?

(NIV) John 14: 23

Jesus replied, “Anyone who loves me will obey my teaching. My Father will love them, and we will come to them and make our home with them.

26/1/18 The Burning Path

I have sent My forerunners out before you, and they have left behind them a path of Holy Spirit Fire, each footprint, burned into the earth of your nation. It is Time for My Bride to rise as one and walk in the footsteps of the Nation Changers.

Step out with that tentative foot, and as you place it down, into the path already before you, the flames of revival will burst forth all over this Nation. You have come through the intensity of fire baptism, and deep adversity has tried to bring control into your life, but you have stood and when there was nothing left, you Stood.

Strap on the Spiritual Sword around your waist and prepare yourself for battle, for the enemy has set forth his battle plan. We will meet him face to face and he will fall as Holy Spirit Fire will supernaturally thwart every one of his plans and purposes.

Step Out My Beloved.

(NIV) Isaiah 42: 16

I will lead the blind by ways they have not known,
along unfamiliar paths I will guide them;
I will turn the darkness into light before them
and make the rough places smooth.
These are the things I will do;
I will not forsake them.

29/1/18 Whole

I would have you raise your eyes and look into My eyes, there is nothing except love there. I accept you as you are. I do not condemn neither do I put you to shame. I gently lift your head up. See and know that My heart is towards you.

I see your tears, I know the weight that you carry in your heart and yet I call you beautiful. I call you My delight and My joy. I call you My friend.

Come walk with Me and let Me show you all of Me. I have so many names that are yet to unfold for you. I also have a name that I call you by, which is only known by us.

I have given you the ability to stand. I have raised you up and set your feet on the rock. You are safe and secure with Me. Completely whole in My presence. So come and be renewed and refreshed.

(NIV) Jeremiah 31: 3-4a

I have loved you with an everlasting love;
I have drawn you with unfailing kindness.
I will build you up again,

(NIV) Isaiah 54: 4a

Do not be afraid; you will not be put to shame.
Do not fear disgrace; you will not be humiliated.
You will forget the shame of your youth

(NIV) Romans 5: 5

And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.

(NIV) Revelation 2: 17

Whoever has ears, let them hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To the one who is victorious, I will give some of the hidden manna. I will also give that person a white stone with a new name written on it, known only to the one who receives it.

30/1/18 Humility

I would have you come and learn from Me, learn the art of humility, learn how My Son humbled Himself, making Himself nothing and taking on the nature of a servant. He became a man and became obedient to death on the cross. He didn’t count equality with Me to be used to His own advantage, but laid it down so that you might have life, and life in all its fullness.

Humility is not weakness, it is knowing that you are significant to Me. It is knowing your identity in Me as My sons and daughters and you know the worth of every other person to Me. Do not put yourself down and do not think less of yourself. “Humility is not thinking less of yourself, it’s thinking of yourself less” (C.S.Lewis).

You are not a worm, so stop saying you are!

Stand up and be who I have called you to be. I say to you that you are bold, courageous and an overcomer!

(NIV) Philippians 2: 3-13

Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, 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 mind set 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.

Do Everything Without Grumbling

Therefore, my dear friends, as you have always obeyed—not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence—continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling, for it is God who works in you to will and to act in order to fulfil his good purpose.

1 John 5: 1-5

Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God, and everyone who loves the father loves his child as well. This is how we know that we love the children of God: by loving God and carrying out his commands. In fact, this is love for God: to keep his commands. And his commands are not burdensome, for everyone born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith. Who is it that overcomes the world? Only the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God.

(NIV) James 4: 4-10

You adulterous people, don’t you know that friendship with the world means enmity against God? Therefore, anyone who chooses to be a friend of the world becomes an enemy of God. Or do you think Scripture says without reason that he jealously longs for the spirit he has caused to dwell in us? But he gives us more grace. That is why Scripture says:

“God opposes the proud
but shows favour to the humble.”

Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Come near to God and he will come near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded. Grieve, mourn and wail. Change your laughter to mourning and your joy to gloom. Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up.

31/1/18 Corridors

Open your heart to Me, and allow full access to every part of your life. I will walk through the corridors of pain and bring healing to your wounds. I will release my balm upon the open sores of betrayal, and wash you clean from your head to the base of your feet. I will leave nothing untouched by My Love.

As my Living Water is released, watch as yesterday and yesteryear flow away into the distance of time, never more to be remembered or recounted.

Catch your breath, and breathe once again, the air of freedom. Take My Hand and sense My closeness as we walk together for eternity.

(NIV) Psalm 34: 17-19

The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears them;
he delivers them from all their troubles.
The Lord is close to the broken hearted
and saves those who are crushed in spirit.
The righteous person may have many troubles,
but the Lord delivers him from them.

(NIV) John 7: 38

Whoever believes in me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them.

(NIV) Job 33: 4

The Spirit of God has made me;
the breath of the Almighty gives me life.

(NIV) Ecclesiastes 3: 11a

He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the human heart.
