2/7/18 Kingdom Belonging
Beloved, you are not on your own, you are part of a much larger family, than you can imagine. My family would be less without you. This is not a time to turn around and give up. It is not a time to quit and to let go of your faith in Me.
I know and understand the broken heart you carry. The disappointments you have faced for so long. Hoping and yearning that you would belong and that others would understand your heart.
Know this day that I will in no way reject you or drive you away for you have responded to My gift of love that has been poured out in My Son, Jesus. You have accepted Him and by doing so have become one of My own.
I say to you this day that you are Mine, precious and honoured in My sight, the apple of My eye. I will not let you go!
(NIV) John 6: 35-40
Then Jesus declared, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty. But as I told you, you have seen me and still you do not believe. All those the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never drive away. For I have come down from heaven not to do my will but to do the will of him who sent me. And this is the will of him who sent me, that I shall lose none of all those he has given me, but raise them up at the last day. For my Father’s will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in him shall have eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day.”
(NIV) Isaiah 43: 1-4
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;
I give Egypt for your ransom,
Cush and Seba in your stead.
Since you are precious and honoured in my sight,
and because I love you,
I will give people in exchange for you,
nations in exchange for your life.
(NIV) Hebrews 13: 5-8
Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said,
“Never will I leave you;
never will I forsake you.”
So we say with confidence,
“The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid.
What can mere mortals do to me?”
Remember your leaders, who spoke the word of God to you. Consider the outcome of their way of life and imitate their faith. Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.
3/7/18 Tick Tock!
Don’t be quick to rush into all that I am calling you to do. This is a rest season for many of you. Take the time that I am giving you to recover your strength and vitality in Me.
Then when you are sufficiently refreshed, it will be the time to write down the vision that I have given you. Put it down and ask Me to not only add to it, but to give you the individual steps to fill the leaps in between.
Then GO & DO!
The visions I have given you are not just simply nice or, good ideas. They are there to impact society and individual lives around you, as well as your own. Let what is in your heart motivate you and watch as My love, expressed through you, changes atmospheres.
So, remember to watch the times and seasons I have set in place and respond to My voice.
(NIV) 1 Chronicles 12: 32
From Issachar, men who understood the times and knew what Israel should do
(NIV) Ecclesiastes 3: 1-8
There is a time for everything,
and a season for every activity under the heavens:
a time to be born and a time to die,
a time to plant and a time to uproot,
a time to kill and a time to heal,
a time to tear down and a time to build,
a time to weep and a time to laugh,
a time to mourn and a time to dance,
a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,
a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing,
a time to search and a time to give up,
a time to keep and a time to throw away,
a time to tear and a time to mend,
a time to be silent and a time to speak,
a time to love and a time to hate,
a time for war and a time for peace.
(NIV) Habakkuk 2: 2-3
“Write down the revelation
and make it plain on tablets
so that a herald may run with it.
For the revelation awaits an appointed time;
it speaks of the end
and will not prove false.
Though it linger, wait for it;
it will certainly come
and will not delay.
4/7/18 A Spiritual Voice in the Wilderness
When you buy a piece of jewellery, like a necklace, a bracelet or even a watch, your delight is to put it on and wear it with comfort. You want to be able to let others see it sitting finely upon your neck or wrist. But what if it does not fit exactly and is loose? Then you would have a couple of links taken out, until the watch or necklace fitted snugly in place and felt comfortable for the wearer.
My friends, there are those around you who are very much like these links in your Kingdom walk. There are times when you notice that the conversation turns uncomfortable for you, for what is being spoken of would not be something you could speak of in my presence. There are times when you are watching TV, and the shows or films bring embarrassment to you and yet you do not stand up and change the channel for fear of what others in the room will think of you.
Even in Church, you at times accept less than what is the best for you, because that is what everyone else does.
My family, I say to you, it is time for you to remove the extra links that bring separation, and come into the place, where you and I have complete comfort with one another.
(NIV) Luke 1: 76-80a
And you, my child, will be called a prophet of the Most High;
for you will go on before the Lord to prepare the way for him,
to give his people the knowledge of salvation
through the forgiveness of their sins,
because of the tender mercy of our God,
by which the rising sun will come to us from heaven
to shine on those living in darkness
and in the shadow of death,
to guide our feet into the path of peace.”
And the child grew and became strong in spirit.
(NIV) Psalm 19: 13-14
Keep your servant also from wilful sins;
may they not rule over me.
Then I will be blameless,
innocent of great transgression.
May these words of my mouth and this meditation of my heart
be pleasing in your sight,
Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer.
(NIV) Matthew 18: 6-9
“If anyone causes one of these little ones—those who believe in me—to stumble, it would be better for them to have a large millstone hung around their neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea. Woe to the world because of the things that cause people to stumble! Such things must come, but woe to the person through whom they come! If your hand or your foot causes you to stumble, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to enter life maimed or crippled than to have two hands or two feet and be thrown into eternal fire. And if your eye causes you to stumble, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to enter life with one eye than to have two eyes and be thrown into the fire of hell.
5/7/18 Wet and Wild!
I am moving you out of your comfort zone. You have stayed too long and I am now shifting you on. You have become used to your environment and I have a greater journey in store for you.
Do not fear their faces, nor be afraid of their words. I am the one who is guiding you by My Holy Spirit. I have taught you well and the time of apprentice/journeyman is over. It is time to accept responsibility and move as one who eats meat and no longer milk. I have weaned you and raised you and I know your heart, and I trust the heart that you have been given.
So seek Me now and find Me and let Me take you on one wet and wild ride. Take pleasure in all that I have done and realise that life with me, will always involve adventure. Don’t settle for less.
(NIV) Philippians 3: 12-14
Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already arrived at my goal, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me. Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.
(NIV) 1 Peter 3: 13-14
Who is going to harm you if you are eager to do good? But even if you should suffer for what is right, you are blessed. “Do not fear their threats; do not be frightened.”
(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.
6/7/18 Supernatural Avenues
Watch what I am doing in and over your life in this season. I am opening supernatural avenues before you. The things that have hindered you are being swept to the side. No more delay!
You have tried and tried to see, to fight your way through. It has been difficult and exhausting because you have been paving a new path, but now watch as you break through into clearings that are of My making. There you will find others that have been on their own journeys, like minded family members who will support, and walk alongside you, and you with them.
You will agree at such a deep heart level, and there will be an honouring of one to the other. Such a deep sense of love and care will arise among you that, you will truly be called My disciples.
(NIV) John 13: 34-35
“A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.”
(NIV) Ephesians 5: 1-2, 21
Follow God’s example, therefore, as dearly loved children and walk in the way of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.
Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ.
(NIV) Ephesians 6: 10-14a
Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armour of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full armour of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. Stand firm then………….
9/7/18 The New Sound of Transformation
Come wordsmiths, come singers, come musicians and begin to write the new songs that I have released to you. Open the blue-prints of your dreams, pour over the notes, the new sounds are being released from the very throne of the living king.
Pick up your instruments and play in faith, for my spirit will reveal to you the new cords. As the singers sing they will hear the angelic choir lift their voices, as each one moves to the beat of My Heart.
Dancers, dance, move to the sound of fresh mountain rain. Sense the breath of my spirit as you glide in and out of the fields of mountain flowers of every colour, their fragrance filling all around you as the fresh aroma of a New Day Begins.
Dance the dance of love.
Only true love will set my people apart, for “I AM LOVE”.
(NIV) Psalm 33: 1-5
Sing joyfully to the lord, you righteous; it is fitting for the upright to praise him.
Praise the lord with the harp; make music to him on the ten-stringed lyre.
Sing to him a new song; play skillfully, and shout for joy.
For the word of the lord is right and true; he is faithful in all he does.
The lord loves righteousness and justice; the earth is full of his unfailing love.
(NIV) Psalm 96: 1-3
Sing to the Lord a new song;
sing to the Lord, all the earth.
Sing to the Lord, praise his name;
proclaim his salvation day after day.
Declare his glory among the nations,
his marvellous deeds among all peoples.
(NIV) 1 Corinthians 13: 1-13
If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing.
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonour others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when completeness comes, what is in part disappears. When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me. For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.
And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.
10/7/18 Journey to Spiritual Fulfilment
Beloved, it is time to open your hand and your Heart and allow me to remove from your life the things that are stopping you from moving forward. There are many things that are good that are present in your life but not all of them are the best that I have for you.
Are you willing to lay all your agendas down, all your plans and ideas and entrust yourself fully to me?
As you are willing to surrender all, I will take you on a journey of such fulfillment and fascination, that it will be as a rollercoaster in my Spirit. There will be moments of expectation, excitement, anticipation and yes fear as you take risks, trusting me all the way.
There will be such a sense of awe that you will simply step out in faith, knowing that I will fulfill my promises to you.
There is so much more ahead than behind.
Will you surrender all to me?
(NIV) 2 Corinthians 1: 18-22
But as surely as God is faithful, our message to you is not “Yes” and “No.” 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, set his seal of ownership on us, and put his Spirit in our hearts as a deposit, guaranteeing what is to come.
(NIV) Galatians 1: 9-11
As we have already said, so now I say again: If anybody is preaching to you a gospel other than what you accepted, let them be under God’s curse!
Am I now trying to win the approval of human beings, or of God? Or am I trying to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a servant of Christ.
I want you to know, brothers and sisters that the gospel I preached is not of human origin.
(NIV) Galatians 2: 20
I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.
11/7/18 As “I AM” with YOU!
I am coming to sweep through the nations and unleash My holiness upon all those who name My name. No longer will there be found those who stand with a foot in two camps, instead they will choose.
For some this will be a difficult choice, as you have become rich through worldly means and those who give you a place of acceptance will turn their backs upon you, as you declare your complete affiliation to ME, as I AM to You.
I love you with an eternal love, but I am a Holy God, and I will have men and women whose hearts and lives are sold out for me, in every arena of life.
My Family will no longer sway between two opinions, but will stand strong and courageous, and declare change into the nations.
(NIV) Joshua 24: 15
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) Deuteronomy 30: 19-20
This day I call the heavens and the earth as witnesses against you that I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Now choose life, so that you and your children may live and that you may love the Lord your God, listen to his voice, and hold fast to him. For the Lord is your life, and he will give you many years in the land he swore to give to your fathers, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
(NIV) James 4: 3-5
When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures.
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?
12/7/18 Home Coming
My beloved bride, are you ready for my return? Have you purified and made yourself ready? Are your wicks trimmed and your lamps full of oil? Does your heart scan the very air for My coming? Beloved are you awake? Do you see, do you hear the fast approaching steps? For in the twinkling of an eye, I will step from behind the veil and all mankind will see, and know, that I am indeed God. They will bow their knees in the weight of My presence and glory.
Do not be deceived by the words of man, and do not listen to the many voices that say I have already come. No one will miss the day of My return. My glory will be seen throughout the earth. Get yourself ready! Do not be unprepared for My return. Set your heart on the things above, store up for yourself treasures in heaven.
Ready yourself!
(NIV) Luke 17: 22-24
Then he said to his disciples, “The time is coming when you will long to see one of the days of the Son of Man, but you will not see it. People will tell you, ‘There he is!’ or ‘Here he is!’ Do not go running off after them. For the Son of Man in his day will be like the lightning, which flashes and lights up the sky from one end to the other.
(NIV) Matthew 6: 19-21
“Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
(NIV) 2 Corinthians 3: 12-18
Therefore, since we have such a hope, we are very bold. We are not like Moses, who would put a veil over his face to prevent the Israelite’s from seeing the end of what was passing away. But their minds were made dull, for to this day the same veil remains when the old covenant is read. It has not been removed, because only in Christ is it taken away. Even to this day when Moses is read, a veil covers their hearts. But whenever anyone turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away. 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.
13/7/18 “YOU” are the Whispers of MY Love
My sons and daughters, when others speak negative things to you and about you, do not allow these things to land and take root.
You are not the sum of what others say you are. Everyone has an opinion about everything you say and do, but when you begin to accept their words, you my beloved will begin to transform into the curses released over you, for the tongue although small carries life and death to all.
Let not the words of the natural steal from you, who are supernatural, for My Words over you are, Yes and Amen.
I have created you to be “YOU”.
Open the Book of Life and read my words spoken over my family,” YOU” are filled with Power and Authority.
“YOU are Unique”.
“YOU” are set free from every chain of bondage. Every curse sent against “YOU” will be turned into a blessing. “YOU” are loved and cared for, I walk beside “YOU”.
“YOU”, My Beautiful one, are being made ready for My Marriage Feast.
(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.
(NIV) Psalm 139: 13-18
For you created my inmost being;
you knit me together in my mother’s womb.
I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
your works are wonderful,
I know that full well.
My frame was not hidden from you
when I was made in the secret place,
when I was woven together in the depths of the earth.
Your eyes saw my unformed body;
all the days ordained for me were written in your book
before one of them came to be.
How precious to me are your thoughts, God!
How vast is the sum of them!
Were I to count them,
they would outnumber the grains of sand—
when I awake, I am still with you.
(NIV) Revelation 19: 8-10
Fine linen, bright and clean,
was given her to wear.”
(Fine linen stands for the righteous acts of God’s holy people.)
Then the angel said to me, “Write this: Blessed are those who are invited to the wedding supper of the Lamb!” And he added, “These are the true words of God.”
At this I fell at his feet to worship him. But he said to me, “Don’t do that! I am a fellow servant with you and with your brothers and sisters who hold to the testimony of Jesus. Worship God! For it is the Spirit of prophecy who bears testimony to Jesus.”
16/7/18 “Worship” is Supernatural Nectar
My beloved family, when you allow the troubles of each day to build up around your life, it will slowly bring a strangle hold around your desire to lift your daily worship to me. When your song stops and my words are not released to your heart, you will sense the draining away of all your spiritual power, and a deep tiredness will seep over all that you do, this happens to pastors all the way to the doormen and those who serve tea and coffee.
Worship is like the nectar, it is the honey that sustains our very beings, when each of us worship we include ourselves in the choir of heavenly hosts. As we sing about love and hope the living wells inside of each of us spring forth with fresh living waters, that rise within us and refresh every part until saturation, and then it flows freely out of us and into all the lives around.
If you, my sons and daughters, sense today that you are tired, lift your voice and begin to sing, open my word, and sing the psalms. Wait upon the Spirit and he will refresh you. Watch as my power and authority fill you to overflowing.
(NIV) 2 Peter 1: 12-13
So I will always remind you of these things, even though you know them and are firmly established in the truth you now have. I think it is right to refresh your memory as long as I live in the tent of this body.
(NIV) Psalm 23: 2-4
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) Song of Songs 5: 1
I have come into my garden, my sister, my bride;
I have gathered my myrrh with my spice.
I have eaten my honeycomb and my honey;
I have drunk my wine and my milk.
Eat, friends, and drink;
drink your fill of love.
17/7/18 Transformed By the Potters Hands
Beloved, I have watched as you have set yourself in a position of humility. You have bowed low before me surrendering everything that you have and are into My hands. I have heard as you have simply acknowledged that I am the potter and you are the clay. You have allowed me to mould every part of you, and where I have found marring, I have reshaped and reworked those areas in your heart.
Now is the time to arise, knowing that I have commissioned and called you.
Even now, you are being knighted, and with that, comes My empowering and My envisioning.
Rise with courage and valour, knowing that you are surrounded by a great cloud of witnesses, cheering you on. Run now the race marked out for you, only straining for what is ahead and not looking back.
Rise and run!
(NIV) Isaiah 60: 1-3
“Arise, shine, for your light has come,
and the glory of the Lord rises upon you.
See, darkness covers the earth
and thick darkness is over the peoples,
but the Lord rises upon you
and his glory appears over you.
Nations will come to your light,
and kings to the brightness of your dawn.
(NIV) Psalm 149: 4
For the Lord takes delight in his people;
he crowns the humble with victory.
(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.
18/7/18 Intercessors of the Harvest
Hear my voice in the night hours. Open your spiritual ears to hear the wisdom for “such a time as this”. I call out to my intercessors and my watchmen upon the walls, also to my prayer warriors and to those hungry for my kingdom culture to be fully released upon this earth.
Know that wisdom for each and every situation that comes around my family has been released to you, for as you ask in prayer in my name, it is immediately sent. Now receive your answers and walk in them, fully assured that each of you carry my authority to build and complete, the very blueprints that were released to you from the throne room of the living God.
Be bold in your walk, do not hold back, reach out a hand of friendship to the lost, and watch as the harvest comes home, for each of these have their names written in the book of life.
(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) Proverbs 2: 1-8
My son, if you accept my words
and store up my commands within you,
turning your ear to wisdom
and applying your heart to understanding—
indeed, if you call out for insight
and cry aloud for understanding,
and if you look for it as for silver
and search for it as for hidden treasure,
then you will understand the fear of the Lord
and find the knowledge of God.
For the Lord gives wisdom;
from his mouth come knowledge and understanding.
He holds success in store for the upright,
he is a shield to those whose walk is blameless,
for he guards the course of the just
and protects the way of his faithful ones.
(NIV) James 3: 17-18
But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere. Peacemakers who sow in peace reap a harvest of righteousness.
19/7/18 Not of this World
Yes, you have been hearing the whispers of the Holy Spirit in your dreams. He is teaching you and leading you, to look deeper into the revelation and visions that are being released to you nightly. Open your spiritual ears to hear, for you are a fore runner, called and anointed to reveal the battle strategies for a world at war with itself.
The enemy comes as a thief in the night, to destroy and steal all that is good and fruitful in the lives of my church. He tries to bring darkness and shadow around you, so that you will be hoodwinked, and then you will follow his false light. For there are many among even the elect, that will be fooled by those, who look like them, but are in fact, the servants of predition.
Keep my light of salvation in your heart fully stoked and burning bright, so that there is no place for the shadows of deceit to hide. Light up this world with your worship, from early morn to end of day. Sing, dance and laugh for you my beloved are not of this world.
(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) John 10: 7-10
Therefore Jesus said again, “Very truly I tell you, I am the gate for the sheep. All who have come before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep have not listened to them. I am the gate; whoever enters through me will be saved. They will come in and go out, and find pasture. The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.
(NIV) Luke 12: 49-51
“I have come to bring fire on the earth, and how I wish it were already kindled! But I have a baptism to undergo, and what constraint I am under until it is completed! Do you think I came to bring peace on earth? No, I tell you, but division.
20/7/18 The Artist and His Masterpiece
My beautiful bride, you are my masterpiece created by my hand, each stroke of the brush coming directly from my heart and my undying love for you fills the colours of your canvas.
Many have come to study you, to try and find flaws within your makeup, but there is none to be found, for you my bride are perfect. Others want to gaze upon your magnificence and rule you for their own ends, shame on them for you have eyes only for the bridegroom.
You stand as an eternal reminder to all in darkness, that my light has come.
(NIV) John 3: 29a
The bride belongs to the bridegroom.
(NIV) Genesis 1: 26-28
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.
God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the ground.”
(NIV) 2 Corinthians 4: 5-7
For what we preach is not ourselves, but Jesus Christ as Lord, and ourselves as your servants for Jesus’ sake. For God, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” made his light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of God’s glory displayed in the face of Christ.
But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us.
23/7/18 First Love
My Beloved, many shakings have been going on in your life. It has seemed that at times you have almost lost your faith in me, wondering where I am in the midst of all your pain and grief. You have tried to cling to all the things that have brought you comfort, and to all the familiar places. However, you have found that those things have not brought you what you wanted, and indeed, have left you feeling more and more unsatisfied and empty.
Now is the time to turn your attention fully to Me. I am awakening on the inside of you, such a level of faith, desire and passion as you chase after Me. You will find Me, when you seek Me with all your heart. I am coming with such grace and mercy to cover your life. Everything else will fade into the background. I will restore your first love, your heart will awaken to My voice and to My heart. You will turn and you will lead others to that place of knowing Me fully.
Your adventure has just started, no matter what age you are, there is so much more in Me!
(NIV) Isaiah 40: 28-31
Do you not know?
Have you not heard?
The Lord is the everlasting God,
the Creator of the ends of the earth.
He will not grow tired or weary,
and his understanding no one can fathom.
He gives strength to the weary
and increases the power of the weak.
Even youths grow tired and weary,
and young men stumble and fall;
but those who hope in the Lord
will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles;
they will run and not grow weary,
they will walk and not be faint.
(NIV) Psalm 51: 10-13
Create in me a pure heart, O God,
and renew a steadfast spirit within me.
Do not cast me from your presence
or take your Holy Spirit from me.
Restore to me the joy of your salvation
and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me.
Then I will teach transgressors your ways,
so that sinners will turn back to you.
(NIV) Hosea 14:4a
I will heal their waywardness
and love them freely.
24/7/18 Supernatural Mums and Dads
There are many seeking spiritual maturity and for these to attain to all that I have for them, the spiritual teachers need to stand up and be counted. I have poured out my spirit on you and yet many of you are still trying to fit into a worldly identity, when you have been created to stand out and be the voice in the wilderness, saying “prepare ye the way of the lord”.
People are searching in the all the wrong places and many find their first spiritual contact with familiars (demons), that have been sent to entrap the seekers and shackle them.
The harvest is ripe, yet the workers are few. Put down your fears and pick up my anointing as Spiritual teachers. Guide those that I send to you into a personal relationship with the Holy Spirit, and with my living word, Jesus, and watch as fire and power fills them as they mature into, spiritual leaders.
(NIV) Colossians 2: 7-8
Rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness.
See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the elemental spiritual forces of this world rather than on Christ.
(NIV) Ephesians 4: 1-16
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. There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to one hope when you were called; one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.
But to each one of us grace has been given as Christ apportioned it. This is why it says:
“When he ascended on high,
he took many captives
and gave gifts to his people.”
(What does “he ascended” mean except that he also descended to the lower, earthly regions? He who descended is the very one who ascended higher than all the heavens, in order to fill the whole universe.) 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) 1 Corinthians 13: 11-12
When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me. For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.
25/7/18 Unity of Kingdom Alignment
My sons and daughters, frustration is your enemy, if you allow it access to your life, your ministry and especially your church. Each day will be filled with stress. It will seem to you that everything you do will never be good enough. There will be desperation within you for time to speed up, to bring in the fulfilment of your calling.
Let out your breath, exhale, and draw in a fresh breath. Allow all frustration to flow away from yourself and your ministry. Let the Holy Spirit roam freely through your church and church family. Know that my timing is perfect for you and those around you and everything is coming to fruition.
Move forward in alignment with each other, fully aware that each of you are called and carry exactly the right anointings, that when used together in unity, will bring about revival in your towns and cities.
Live in my peace and Love.
(NIV) Ecclesiastes 3: 1
There is a time for everything,
and a season for every activity under the heavens.
(NIV) Galatians 6: 9-10
Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers.
(NIV) John 14: 26-27
But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you. Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.
26/7/18 I LOVE YOUR HEART
My family, live out of the fullness of your hearts, and not from your mind, for you, this is your battle ground. All warfare comes in and through your thought processes and it is here that the enemy releases his snake eggs into your thoughts. When you allow them to hatch and become a thought, you will then have to do battle with each of them. When they gain ground in your imagination, their lies become truth. You then begin to live out that false truth in your own life.
These will always come in the form of rejection for yourself played out by mysterious shadows around you. They will continuously peck at you, and try to bring you to the place of torment. Everyone who loves you will become a suspect. The way they look at you, the way they speak to you and even the time they spend with you, will become a stumbling block to every one of your emotions.
Your heart has been made clean, my laws are written upon your heart and each of you knows the greatest of these is love. When you love one another as I love you, then only the best of you will be poured out into all the lives around you, for you will not be self seeking.
The treasure chests hidden in every life will be your quest to seek and find. Then you will get to open their treasures and allow them to see how special and loved they are. My beloved, you carry the agape love of Father in the very core of your hearts.
I Love your Heart.
(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) Ezekiel 36: 25-27
I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you will be clean; I will cleanse you from all your impurities and from all your idols. I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh. And I will put my Spirit in you and move you to follow my decrees and be careful to keep my laws.
(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.
27/7/18 Anointed to Discern
As you move deeper into relationship with me, you will become more aware of who is around you. There will be those who have such a heart of love for you, and they will always want the best for you, these are healthy relationships.
Beloved there are also those who hold your ear, people that you have high regard for, when they speak you listen, and at times you may even divert from your course or journey, because of what they say or do. These people become the links that you create around your own life. At times these links have more power over you than I do, and what they think becomes your direction.
I created you to be an individual, you are unique. It is time to snap away the links that have become a hindrance to your relationship with me, and your freedom to walk the path that I have set before you.
How will you recognise these connections? These are the ones that do not always make you feel good about who you are, their words are set to trap you into their plans and purposes. They are busy building empires, when you have been called as a citizen of heaven, and my kingdom belongs to you.
(NIV) Song of Songs 6: 9a
but my dove, my perfect one, is unique,
(NIV) Ephesians 2: 19-20
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) Philippians 2: 1-11
Therefore if you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any common sharing in the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion, then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and of one mind. Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others.
In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus:
Who, being in very nature God,
did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage;
rather, he made himself nothing
by taking the very nature of a servant,
being made in human likeness.
And being found in appearance as a man,
he humbled himself
by becoming obedient to death—
even death on a cross!
Therefore God exalted him to the highest place
and gave him the name that is above every name,
that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,
in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord,
to the glory of God the Father.
30/7/18 Word Watch
The words that you speak are like arrows either tipped with good or evil, they will enter the hearts of those around you and bring life or death. When loosed without thought, these arrows can cause deep wounding.
It is time for you to set a watch on your words. Remember the tongue holds the power of life and death. With it you can bring forth good and evil. Your tongue can so easily set your course on a path that it is difficult to return from.
Use your tongue for good, to uplift, to strengthen and to encourage. Use your tongue to glorify and praise.
Stop, think then speak! Let only that which is wholesome come from your mouth, building others up in their faith. Put away slander of every sort.
Remember the fragility of your own heart!
(NIV) Ephesians 4: 29-32
Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen. And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, with whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.
(NIV) James 3: 5-6
Likewise, the tongue is a small part of the body, but it makes great boasts. Consider what a great forest is set on fire by a small spark. The tongue also is a fire, a world of evil among the parts of the body. It corrupts the whole body, sets the whole course of one’s life on fire, and is itself set on fire by hell.
(NIV) 1 Peter 3: 9-11
Do not repay evil with evil or insult with insult. On the contrary, repay evil with blessing, because to this you were called so that you may inherit a blessing. For,
“Whoever would love life
and see good days
must keep their tongue from evil
and their lips from deceitful speech.
They must turn from evil and do good;
they must seek peace and pursue it.
31/7/18 Birthed in Revival Fire
There is urgency within my people.
They are aware of the fire burning in the core of their being. It is rising with heat poured upon heat, and fire burning brighter and brighter, as Holy Spirit stirs the wells of revival within each of you.
Just as a volcano heats up and the lava hungrily climbs up the inside of the mountain, then the power and fire must be released.
You too will know the full force as Holy Spirit brings you to the place of freedom, to release all that has been birthed in you, to flow out, and into all around your sphere of influence.
Nothing can stand in your way, for as you release Holy Spirit fire, it will consume every plan and purpose of the enemy.
(NIV) Acts 2: 18-20
Even on my servants, both men and women,
I will pour out my Spirit in those days,
and they will prophesy.
I will show wonders in the heavens above
and signs on the earth below,
blood and fire and billows of smoke.
The sun will be turned to darkness
and the moon to blood
before the coming of the great and glorious day of the Lord.
(NIV) Hebrews 12: 25-29
See to it that you do not refuse him who speaks. If they did not escape when they refused him who warned them on earth, how much less will we, if we turn away from him who warns us from heaven? At that time his voice shook the earth, but now he has promised, “Once more I will shake not only the earth but also the heavens.” The words “once more” indicate the removing of what can be shaken—that is, created things—so that what cannot be shaken may remain.
Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful, and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe, for our “God is a consuming fire.”
(NIV) Judges 15: 18-19
Because he was very thirsty, he cried out to the Lord, “You have given your servant this great victory. Must I now die of thirst and fall into the hands of the uncircumcised?” Then God opened up the hollow place in Lehi, and water came out of it. When Samson drank, his strength returned and he revived. So the spring was called En Hakkore, and it is still there in Lehi.
