3/7/17 The Core of the Apple
An apple when picked from the tree is bright red and juicy. When you bite into it, you will hear the crunch and taste the succulent fruit. The apple will give you sustenance and nourishment for your body. Its’ juice will bring refreshing. When finished you will have the apple core filled with seeds, plant these and you will grow another orchard, but the core is then thrown in the bin as it has no further use.
Are you the harvesters? Or do you have bins filled with half eaten cores?
My Church you are like this apple, are you ready for the picking? Do you bring forth fruit that will bring nourishment and sustenance to my body? Are you the refreshment, being poured out in My Name? Do you replant the seeds that I have sent to you and watch them grow into the harvest of tomorrow?
The Orchards are awaiting my harvesters.
(NIV) Song of Songs 2: 3-4
Like an apple tree among the trees of the forest
is my beloved among the young men.
I delight to sit in his shade,
and his fruit is sweet to my taste.
Let him lead me to the banquet hall,
and let his banner over me be love.
(NIV) Mark 4: 14-20
The farmer sows the word. Some people are like seed along the path, where the word is sown. As soon as they hear it, Satan comes and takes away the word that was sown in them. Others, like seed sown on rocky places, hear the word and at once receive it with joy. But since they have no root, they last only a short time. When trouble or persecution comes because of the word, they quickly fall away. Still others, like seed sown among thorns, hear the word; but the worries of this life, the deceitfulness of wealth and the desires for other things come in and choke the word, making it unfruitful. Others, like seed sown on good soil, hear the word, accept it, and produce a crop—some thirty, some sixty, some a hundred times what was sown.”
(NIV) John 4: 34-38
“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. Thus the saying ‘One sows and another reaps’ is true. I sent you to reap what you have not worked for. Others have done the hard work, and you have reaped the benefits of their labour.”
4/7/17 Overflowing wells
I am opening more wells than you have yet realised. I have an overwhelming abundance to release to and through My people in this hour.
I am raising up voices from the midst of those who have been overlooked, and young and old will come together to announce the coming together of My beautiful Bride. She has made herself ready. No more will she choose the things of this world, her eyes will be fully fixed on Me. Her mind will be My mind. Her heart will be My heart. Two hearts beating as one.
She will arise, a pure spotless Bride, carrying My message of reconciliation to this world. No longer will voices be raised in judgement. The world will come to know that My people are known by their love, first for Me and then for their neighbour.
I am opening My wells of deep, deep love through My precious, beautiful bride.
(NIV) Genesis 26: 18, 22
Isaac reopened the wells that had been dug in the time of his father Abraham, which the Philistines had stopped up after Abraham died, and he gave them the same names his father had given them.
He moved on from there and dug another well, and no one quarrelled over it. He named it Rehoboth, saying, ‘Now the Lord has given us room and we will flourish in the land.’
(NIV) Deuteronomy 6: 10-12
When the Lord your God brings you into the land he swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, to give you – a land with large, flourishing cities you did not build, houses filled with all kinds of good things you did not provide, wells you did not dig, and vineyards and olive groves you did not plant – then when you eat and are satisfied, be careful that you do not forget the Lord, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery.
(NIV) Revelation 19: 6-8
Then I heard what sounded like a great multitude, like the roar of rushing waters and like loud peals of thunder, shouting:
‘Hallelujah!
For our Lord God Almighty reigns.
Let us rejoice and be glad
and give him glory!
For the wedding of the Lamb has come,
and his bride has made herself ready.
Fine linen, bright and clean,
was given her to wear.’
(Fine linen stands for the righteous acts of God’s holy people.)
5/7/17 My Friend
Beloved, are you My friend or merely My servant? Did I not choose you to be My friend? Why then do you come grovelling before Me, instead of walking in boldly?
My Son Jesus, shed His blood, so that you would have the confidence to enter My Holy place. He has prepared a place for you. It is ready and waiting. So do not come, full of fear before Me, but know that My perfect love casts out all fear.
Yes, there is an awe of who I AM, but I want you to come, knowing that My love and heart is toward you. Jesus has paid the price for you, He is always by My side interceding for you.
There is a vast cloud who are encouraging you on. Hear them cheering for you, so that you will finish the race and finish it well. I am proud of you and your desire to delight in Me. Your desire to be My friend will bring you to the place where I can share the depth of My heart with you. I long to share My secrets with you. Come My friend!
(NIV) John 15: 15-17
I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master’s business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you. You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you might go and bear fruit – fruit that will last – and so that whatever you ask in my name the Father will give you. This is my command: love each other.
(NIV) Hebrews 9: 12
He did not enter by means of the blood of goats and calves; but he entered the Most Holy Place once for all by his own blood, so obtaining eternal redemption.
(NIV) Hebrews 7: 25
Therefore he is able to save completely those who come to God through him, because he always lives to intercede for them.
(NIV) 1 John 4: 16-18
And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them. This is how love is made complete among us so that we will have confidence on the day of judgment: in this world we are like Jesus. There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.
6/7/17 Changes
I AM the Alpha and Omega. I AM the beginning and the end. I AM outside of time. Have I spoken and not done? Am I one to change My mind? I AM not some worthless idol who does not hear. My ears are attentive to your cry.
I have promised you that I have a plan and purpose for your life. You are not one who is aimlessly being tossed to and fro with no way forward, no vision and no forward momentum. I have linked you with others, so that together you will see your cities and nations change.
Many of your relationships have been under stress and the enemy has brought confusion and division. Know that I am aligning you with those who have the same hearts and minds, to grow My Kingdom and not this worlds’. Many changes are being wrought at this time, but know that My hand is behind those changes.
(NIV) James 1: 17
Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.
(NIV) Hebrews 1: 10-12
‘In the beginning, Lord, you laid the foundations of the earth,
and the heavens are the work of your hands.
They will perish, but you remain;
they will all wear out like a garment.
You will roll them up like a robe;
like a garment they will be changed.
But you remain the same,
and your years will never end.’
(NIV) Jeremiah 29:11-14
For I know the plans I have for you,’ declares the Lord, ‘plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. I will be found by you,’ declares the Lord,
(NIV) Matthew 10:34
Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword.
7/7/17 Structures
Church, it is time to arise and realise that I am changing the structures of the past! No more will the structures hold My people, but I will scatter them as I did in days of old. As I do so the Good News of My gospel will spread abroad, no longer held by fetters and chains, but freely given even as it was freely received.
Men and women are arising whose hearts are blazing with My Holy passion. A people prepared and ready to release My love to all around. They will be those who will lift their voices in the midst of all and say “Prepare the way of the Lord”. They will remind those who are mine that I am a Holy God and My Son is returning for a pure and spotless bride. One who has made herself ready.
Persecution will arise and as it does so, it will become a Holy Fire burning away all the dross and anything which would stop My people from seeking Me. Choices will have to be made and the motives of men’s’ hearts will be laid bare. No longer will sitting on the fence be an option.
Church, it is time to arise!
(NIV) Malachi 4: 5-6
‘See, I will send the prophet Elijah to you before that great and dreadful day of the Lord comes. He will turn the hearts of the parents to their children, and the hearts of the children to their parents; or else I will come and strike the land with total destruction.’
(NIV) Joshua 24: 18b
We too will serve the Lord, because he is our God.
(NIV) Mark 2:22
And no one pours new wine into old wineskins. Otherwise, the wine will burst the skins, and both the wine and the wineskins will be ruined. No, they pour new wine into new wineskins.’
10/7/17 Bridal Train
I am releasing my voice through my prophets and intercessors. I am sending out the blueprints of my battle plans and strategies. Who will listen?
Turn to me your ear and I will open your hearing to hear the spiritual echoes of my calling over your life. I have been speaking to you for many years and you have seen the outworking through the dry and arid lands that you have travelled. You have been through daily struggles and even at times you could have laid it all down, but you didn’t for you know my calling and you seek the more, so you stand up and brush the dust off and take another step forward.
My friend, you said to me “Here am I. Send me!” and I have.
You are my voice to this Nation, speak with boldness and prepare the way, as my pure and spotless bride comes into her rightful place, beautiful and righteous before the eyes of the world. She will not accept or partner with anything that does not bring glory to my Kingdom.
(NIV) Isaiah 6: 1b-9
I saw the Lord, high and exalted, seated on a throne; and the train of his robe filled the temple. Above him were seraphim, each with six wings: With two wings they covered their faces, with two they covered their feet, and with two they were flying. And they were calling to one another:
“Holy, holy, holy is the Lord Almighty;
the whole earth is full of his glory.”
At the sound of their voices the doorposts and thresholds shook and the temple was filled with smoke.
“Woe to me!” I cried. “I am ruined! For I am a man of unclean lips, and I live among a people of unclean lips, and my eyes have seen the King, the Lord Almighty.”
Then one of the seraphim flew to me with a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with tongs from the altar. With it he touched my mouth and said, “See, this has touched your lips; your guilt is taken away and your sin atoned for.”
Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?”
And I said, “Here am I. Send me!”
He said, “Go and tell this people:
11/7/17 Mantles
This is a season where there are many mantles to be picked up and used. Many of the saints of old carried them, but they have simply fallen by the wayside, instead of being passed to the following generations.
Many of you My people are wanting the mantles that carry My anointing to heal the sick, to bring deliverance, to see blind eyes open, lame walking, and cancers healed.
Will you pick up the fallen mantles? Will you pay the cost to wear those mantles? Are you willing to look foolish to the eyes of the world and even your own friends? Are you willing to be rejected and overlooked? There is a price for wearing My mantles.
Into the highways and byways I will send you, to the ones and twos. You might never be known to this world, but I will know your name and when your race is run, I will be the one celebrating your arrival at the finish line. For I will be your greatest supporter!
Are you ready for My mantles?
(NKJV) 1 Kings 19: 19
[Elisha Follows Elijah] So he departed from there, and found Elisha the son of Shaphat, who was ploughing with twelve yoke of oxen before him, and he was with the twelfth. Then Elijah passed by him and threw his mantle on him.
(NKJV) 2 Kings 2: 13-15
He also took up the mantle of Elijah that had fallen from him, and went back and stood by the bank of the Jordan. Then he took the mantle of Elijah that had fallen from him, and struck the water, and said, “Where is the Lord God of Elijah?” And when he also had struck the water, it was divided this way and that; and Elisha crossed over. Now when the sons of the prophets who were from Jericho saw him, they said, “The spirit of Elijah rests on Elisha.” And they came to meet him, and bowed to the ground before him.
12/7/17 Advancement
Many times in the past, I have raised up women from all spheres of society, who have stood in the face of injustice, to fight for the rights of others. Social reform has happened in many areas because of the hearts they carried. Many have given their lives in pursuit of equality for all, whether men, women or children.
Watch as I am raising up armies of women, those who carry hearts after My Kingdom plans and purposes. They will not all look alike, or act alike. There will be apostles, prophets, teachers, pastors and evangelists among them and they will carry My anointing over their lives. Many will not be titled, but they will live out their lives with My authority. The world may not recognise them, but I do. They will lay their lives down as living sacrifices upon My altar, and be so set apart to do My will. A passion will consume them. They will set others ablaze and the world will tell them to be quiet, but, they will speak up all the more. The cry will rise for the advancement of the Kingdom of God!
(NIV) Acts 4: 18-20
Then they called them in again and commanded them not to speak or teach at all in the name of Jesus. But Peter and John replied, ‘Which is right in God’s eyes: to listen to you, or to him? You be the judges! As for us, we cannot help speaking about what we have seen and heard.’
(NIV) Galatians 3: 28
There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.
(NIV) Romans 14: 17
For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking, but of righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit
1 Corinthians 4: 20
For the kingdom of God is not a matter of talk but of power.
13/7/17 Put out your Hands, Open them and receive
I am pouring refreshing anointing upon you. As you, my beloved, wait upon me you will sense the gentle touch of my hand, as I release my oil of healing. Breathe in the fragrance of my presence as you and I embrace.
The road has been rocky and hard and at every turn another obstacle has tried to take your eyes off of me. Your hands have covered your face to catch your own tears as you weep in your despair. You have allowed yourself to crawl inwards into your own living hell, where your thoughts have become your own worst enemy as they entangle and entrap you.
This day is a new day, put out your hands, open them and receive my healing. Take captive every thought in my blood and think a better thought. I will not hold you to a level of your understanding but will create in you a clean heart. You are filled by me and my fragrance is carried by you. We are together for eternity.
Greater things shall you do in my name.
(NIV) Isaiah 61: 2b-3
To comfort all who mourn,
and provide for those who grieve in Zion—
to bestow on them a crown of beauty
instead of ashes,
the oil of joy
instead of mourning,
and a garment of praise
instead of a spirit of despair.
They will be called oaks of righteousness,
a planting of the Lord
for the display of his splendour.
(NIV) 2 Corinthians 10: 4-5
The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.
(NIV) John 14: 11-13
Believe me when I say that I am in the Father and the Father is in me; or at least believe on the evidence of the works themselves. Very truly I tell you, whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father. And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
14/7/17 Warp Factor
Beloved, you have allowed the enemy to warp your minds with thoughts of who you are not, rather than allowing My thoughts about you, to reign supreme. These thoughts are causing you to go round and round in circles, to go round the mountain, again and again, without any upward momentum.
Watch as I straighten the path before you. Lift up your eyes and see that I am your salvation. There is nothing and no one else who can bring you, to the place of vision and clear sight for the journey ahead.
Even now, I am speaking into your heart reminding you of who you are in me. I have placed greatness inside of you. Put your faith in Me afresh and trust Me. I have your best interests at heart. I am always in a good mood and I want to bring you to a place of peace and joy in Me.
Allow the warp factor of the enemy to simply slip away.
(NIV) Romans 12: 1-2
Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God – this is your true and proper worship. Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is – his good, pleasing and perfect will.
(NIV) Colossians 2: 15
And having disarmed the powers and authorities, he made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the cross.
(NIV) 1 John 4:4
You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world.
17/7/17 Awakened
I have gently kissed you to life. I have released My breath into your very nostrils. My heart beats inside your chest. Is it any wonder why you feel the supernatural drawing of My presence over your life? Beloved, I have kissed you with the kisses of My mouth. I have drawn you with loving kindness. I have extended my grace and mercy towards you. I am your first and last. I have awakened you to My touch. I have awakened you to My love.
Stop running from Me! Turn and run to Me. My arms are open wide and longing to embrace you. Where can you go from My Spirit? Where can you flee from My Presence? If you go up to the heavens I am there. If you make your bed in the depths I am there. If you rise on the wings of the dawn or settle on the far side of the sea, even there My hand will guide you and My right hand will hold you fast. Darkness cannot hide you. The night will be as the day.
I have awakened you to Me and nothing and no one else can fill that void in your life.
(NIV) Psalm 139: 7-12
Where can I go from your Spirit?
Where can I flee from your presence?
If I go up to the heavens, you are there;
if I make my bed in the depths, you are there.
If I rise on the wings of the dawn,
if I settle on the far side of the sea,
even there your hand will guide me,
your right hand will hold me fast.
If I say, “Surely the darkness will hide me
and the light become night around me,”
even the darkness will not be dark to you;
the night will shine like the day,
for darkness is as light to you.
(NIV) Psalm 17: 15
As for me, I will be vindicated and will see your face;
when I awake, I will be satisfied with seeing your likeness.
18/7/17 Tomorrow
Beloved, “tomorrow, tomorrow, I’ll do it tomorrow” has become a phrase on your lips more and more often these days. However, in a lot of instances, tomorrow has never come and I’ve been left waiting for you to fulfil your promises to Me. Have I not said to leave your “Yes” as yes and your “No” as no. Do not promise and then not fulfil. Realise that tomorrow is not guaranteed and do not put off until tomorrow, what you can do today.
I am issuing a call that reaches beyond where you are at, but, you have choices to make. I have good plans for your life but I will not always contend for your attention. Turn your heart to me and follow My ways. Allow My thoughts about you to reign supreme. I have much to set before you today. Turn your ear to listen.
I hold all your tomorrows in My hands.
(NIV) Matthew 5: 33-37
“Again, you have heard that it was said to the people long ago, ‘Do not break your oath, but fulfil to the Lord the vows you have made.’ But I tell you, do not swear an oath at all: either by heaven, for it is God’s throne; or by the earth, for it is his footstool; or by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the Great King. And do not swear by your head, for you cannot make even one hair white or black. All you need to say is simply ‘Yes’ or ‘No’; anything beyond this comes from the evil one.
(NIV) Luke 12: 16-21
And he told them this parable: “The ground of a certain rich man yielded an abundant harvest. He thought to himself, ‘What shall I do? I have no place to store my crops.’
“Then he said, ‘This is what I’ll do. I will tear down my barns and build bigger ones, and there I will store my surplus grain. And I’ll say to myself, “You have plenty of grain laid up for many years. Take life easy; eat, drink and be merry.”’
“But God said to him, ‘You fool! This very night your life will be demanded from you. Then who will get what you have prepared for yourself?’
“This is how it will be with whoever stores up things for themselves but is not rich toward God.”
(NIV) Luke 14: 15-24
When one of those at the table with him heard this, he said to Jesus, “Blessed is the one who will eat at the feast in the kingdom of God.”
Jesus replied: “A certain man was preparing a great banquet and invited many guests. At the time of the banquet he sent his servant to tell those who had been invited, ‘Come, for everything is now ready.’
“But they all alike began to make excuses. The first said, ‘I have just bought a field, and I must go and see it. Please excuse me.’
“Another said, ‘I have just bought five yoke of oxen, and I’m on my way to try them out. Please excuse me.’
“Still another said, ‘I just got married, so I can’t come.’
“The servant came back and reported this to his master. Then the owner of the house became angry and ordered his servant, ‘Go out quickly into the streets and alleys of the town and bring in the poor, the crippled, the blind and the lame.’
“‘Sir,’ the servant said, ‘what you ordered has been done, but there is still room.’
“Then the master told his servant, ‘Go out to the roads and country lanes and compel them to come in, so that my house will be full. I tell you, not one of those who were invited will get a taste of my banquet.’”
(NIV) Psalm 31: 15
My times are in your hands;
deliver me from the hands of my enemies,
from those who pursue me.
19/7/17 Great Exchange
These are but a few of the exchanges that I have made for you.
Life for death
My Son for your sin
Family for loneliness
My Strength for your weakness
My Light for your dark
My joy for your despair
My righteousness for your filth
My grace for the law
My acceptance for your rejection
My wounds for your healing
Remember what you have gained through the death and resurrection of My Son. There is more for you to understand and appropriate than you have ever known or realised. I long to show you the depths, of all, that I have in store for you, to unveil the depths of My mysteries, to open your eyes to encounter My realms of supernatural love. I am a creative Father and I desire to show you the beauty that is all around you.
Remember My great exchange and allow your heart to soar!
(NIV) Matthew 8: 17
This was to fulfil what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah:
“He took up our infirmities
and bore our diseases.
(NIV) Romans 6: 23
For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
(NIV) John 1: 17
For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.
(NIV) Isaiah 53: 3-6
He was despised and rejected by mankind,
a man of suffering, and familiar with pain.
Like one from whom people hide their faces
he was despised, and we held him in low esteem.
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.
We all, like sheep, have gone astray,
each of us has turned to our own way;
and the Lord has laid on him
the iniquity of us all.
20/7/17 Bridal Gown
I was shown a vision of a beautiful chamber in heaven. In this chamber stood a glass enclosed cubicle and inside stood a beautiful white pristine wedding dress. I heard his voice speak into the core of my being and he said, “it has been here since time began and will remain until the bride has made herself ready”.
My family, be aware of the plans of satan to rob you of your inheritance. He is going around seeking whom he can devour. Open your eyes and ears both spiritually, and in the normality of your day, for he seeks to draw your eyes away from my bride with the perversions of sin, readily available on films and television programs. What you read can be as deadly to you as poison drunk from a bottle, spit out the filth that has come to rob you of your life and strength.
My church has always been perfect. There is no spot or wrinkle upon the bridal gown. What I built was and is and always will be perfect. It is the bride who is being made ready, that is each of you.
Today, look at yourself with truthful eyes and see what needs to be dealt with. Repent and turn away from your sins. Lead a life that will be an inspiration to others. As they watch you they will also become aware of my perfect love for them.
(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.
1For 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) Revelation 21: 1-2
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.
(NIV) Revelation 22: 16-17
“I, Jesus, have sent my angel to give you this testimony for the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, and the bright Morning Star.”
The Spirit and the bride say, “Come!” And let the one who hears say, “Come!” Let the one who is thirsty come; and let the one who wishes take the free gift of the water of life.
21/7/17 Think for yourself
I challenge you today to begin to really think for yourself and not to merely accept what others have told you about Me. I didn’t bring you into My Kingdom to follow others where they lead you, but, to follow Me as I guide you. Search out the truth for yourself. My word contains more accuracy than you realise. I will open your eyes as you read it afresh. I will give you fresh revelation every day as to who I am for you and who I am becoming for you. No longer will you be like old men who need their food chewed for them, but you will be like those discovering the amazing taste of food for the very first time.
You are not robots. I gave you a brain so think for yourself!
(NIV) Acts 17: 11
Now the Berean Jews were of more noble character than those in Thessalonica, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if what Paul said was true.
(NIV) Proverbs 25: 2
It is the glory of God to conceal a matter;
to search out a matter is the glory of kings.
(NIV) Matthew 7: 7-8
‘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.
24/7/17 Spitfire Angels
I watched as formation after formation of angels were being released upon the nation. They looked like spitfires, being sent down among the enemy. I saw them dive bombing and causing chaos among the demonic realm. I watched as they destroyed the communications of the enemy so that each one was separated from the other and found themselves isolated and unable to know what to do. So confusion reigned supreme in the enemies’ ranks. They turned tail and went to regroup.
As I watched the battle, I was reminded of the Battle of Britain in 1940 which was the first major battle fought entirely by the air forces. I heard the Lord say that He is again releasing the forces of heaven to fight the battle for supremacy of the heavens.
Intercessors arise, let your voices be lifted up. Ask the Father to release more of His warrior angels to enter the fight not only for the heavens but also the airwaves. This is a time to shift the atmosphere for righteousness, peace and joy.
(NIV) Revelation 12: 7-12
And war broke out in heaven: Michael and his angels fought with the dragon; and the dragon and his angels fought, but they did not prevail, nor was a place found for them in heaven any longer. So the great dragon was cast out, that serpent of old, called the Devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world; he was cast to the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
Then I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, “Now salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of His Christ have come, for the accuser of our brethren, who accused them before our God day and night, has been cast down. And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death. Therefore rejoice, O heavens, and you who dwell in them! Woe to the inhabitants of the earth and the sea! For the devil has come down to you, having great wrath, because he knows that he has a short time.”
(NIV) Colossians 2: 15
Having disarmed principalities and powers, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them in it.
(NIV) Deuteronomy 1: 30
The Lord your God, who is going before you, will fight for you, as he did for you in Egypt, before your very eyes.
25/7/17 Refreshing shower
Beloved, stand under My refreshing shower and let me wash away all the grime and the dirt that has gathered in your soul and in your spirit. Your heart has been wounded again and again. Rejection has been your constant companion as you have sought to do My will. Know that I understand and I am acquainted with your pain, sorrow and grief. I gave myself to free you from those things. To remind you of who you are to Me. I gave myself so that the orphaned could be set in My family. I suffered rejection, so that you would know My acceptance. I paid the ultimate price for you. You are the treasure that I seek each and every day. That your heart would flow with My heart.
So stand under My refreshing shower and let Me revive you afresh.
(NIV) Isaiah 53: 1-12
Who has believed our message
and to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?
He grew up before him like a tender shoot,
and like a root out of dry ground.
He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to him,
nothing in his appearance that we should desire him.
He was despised and rejected by mankind,
a man of suffering, and familiar with pain.
Like one from whom people hide their faces
he was despised, and we held him in low esteem.
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.
We all, like sheep, have gone astray,
each of us has turned to our own way;
and the Lord has laid on him
the iniquity of us all.
He was oppressed and afflicted,
yet he did not open his mouth;
he was led like a lamb to the slaughter,
and as a sheep before its shearers is silent,
so he did not open his mouth.
By oppression and judgment he was taken away.
Yet who of his generation protested?
For he was cut off from the land of the living;
for the transgression of my people he was punished.
He was assigned a grave with the wicked,
and with the rich in his death,
though he had done no violence,
nor was any deceit in his mouth.
Yet it was the Lord’s will to crush him and cause him to suffer,
and though the Lord makes his life an offering for sin,
he will see his offspring and prolong his days,
and the will of the Lord will prosper in his hand.
After he has suffered,
he will see the light of life and be satisfied;
by his knowledge my righteous servant will justify many,
and he will bear their iniquities.
Therefore I will give him a portion among the great,
and he will divide the spoils with the strong,
because he poured out his life unto death,
and was numbered with the transgressors.
For he bore the sin of many,
and made intercession for the transgressors.
26/7/17 Heads up
Beloved, I am calling you to turn your eyes from the distractions of the world. To turn from the many comparisons you make. I am calling you to put your head up and in the words of the old hymn, to “Turn your eyes upon Jesus, look full in His wonderful face, and the things of the earth, will grow strangely dim, in the light of His glory and grace.”
As you gaze intently on My Son, those things that have stopped and detracted you from the course that I have planned for you, will be swept away. Clarity will return to your vision. Your heart will be quieted in My presence. Peace will return to your lives and circumstances. Your emotions will come into balance. Fear will be driven away by My love. Everything else will pale in the light of My glory and Grace.
(NIV) Luke 21: 25-28
‘There will be signs in the sun, moon and stars. On the earth, nations will be in anguish and perplexity at the roaring and tossing of the sea. People will faint from terror, apprehensive of what is coming on the world, for the heavenly bodies will be shaken. At that time they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. When these things begin to take place, stand up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near.’
(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 that was 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) Psalm 121: 1-2
I lift up my eyes to the mountains –
where does my help come from?
My help comes from the Lord,
the Maker of heaven and earth.
27/7/17 Aim High
I have equipped you with the weaponry and the ability to take out the attacks of the enemy. You have everything you require, everything that is necessary is at your hand. However, you need to be alert, to stand up and be the watchmen and intercessors that I have called you to be.
It is time to raise your weapons, take aim and fire. Aim high, do not drop your sights even for a moment, as this is an important season for seeing what the enemy is up to in the heavenlies.
Stand strong, be courageous and do not fear, for surely I have already circumvented the enemy and the victory is assured.
(NIV) Joshua 1: 5-9
No one will be able to stand against you all the days of your life. As I was with Moses, so I will be with you; I will never leave you nor forsake you. Be strong and courageous, because you will lead these people to inherit the land I swore to their ancestors to give them.
‘Be strong and very courageous. Be careful to obey all the law my servant Moses gave you; do not turn from it to the right or to the left, that you may be successful wherever you go. Keep this Book of the Law always on your lips; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful. Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.’
(NIV) 2 Corinthians 10: 4-5
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.
(NIV) Ezekiel 33: 7
‘Son of man, I have made you a watchman for the people of Israel; so hear the word I speak and give them warning from me.
28/7/17 Living stones
Each one of you are unique and lovingly made, no two are alike. I am building you into a living structure, holy and set apart for Me. I am the architect and builder of My House.
Yet many of My beautiful living stones are being squeezed into spaces that I never designed them for. I have made space for everyone. Each living stone is able to adapt and to change. They make way for others and give them space, there is no competition or striving in My house. I place them carefully where they can flourish and grow.
You are all My living stones.
(NIV) 1 Peter 2: 4-5
As you come to him, the living Stone – rejected by humans but chosen by God and precious to him – you also, like living stones, are being built into a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood, offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.
(NIV) 1 Corinthians 3: 9
For we are fellow workers in God’s service; you are God’s field, God’s building.
(NIV) Ephesians 2: 19-22
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. In him the whole building is joined together and rises to become a holy temple in the Lord. And in him you too are being built together to become a dwelling in which God lives by his Spirit.
31/7/17 The Thinning of the Word
My family, before me as I watched, the Bible of the world was opened, and it had been altered and many pages had been removed from My Perfect Word, which I had spoken into the hearts of those chosen to write my Holy Words of Scripture. My Living Word, the Bible has become a bless me club. Each page removed carries the life blood of my Kingdom and My Family.
My Living Word is as True today, as it has been since the beginning of Time!
Why do you rip out my heart as you remove the pages of my Living Word to suit your own needs and desires? When my Word does not match your carnal nature you have seen fit to thin out the Bible. Many pages now lie at your feet, as the words of truth do not meet your daily needs to stay in sin and enjoy it with no need for repentance.
You have created your own gods. They are in your own image. Of course, they allow you to live as you please with no recompense. Your fleshly pleasures outweigh your need of Eternal Salvation only found in the Living Word.
Repent and be saved, the Living Word waits for you. My arms are outstretched and I will forgive for I have already paid the price for the forgiveness of all sin.
Open My Word today and drink in Life.
(NIV) 2 Timothy 3: 1-5
But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God— having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with such people.
(NIV) Hebrews 4: 12
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.
(NIV) Acts 4: 11-13
Jesus is
“‘the stone you builders rejected,
which has become the cornerstone.’
Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved.”
When they saw the courage of Peter and John and realized that they were unschooled, ordinary men, they were astonished and they took note that these men had been with Jesus.
(NIV) 1 Peter 1: 22-23
Now that you have purified yourselves by obeying the truth so that you have sincere love for each other, love one another deeply, from the heart. For you have been born again, not of perishable seed, but of imperishable, through the living and enduring word of God.
