2/10/17 Worshipping Warriors
I watched as multitudes upon multitudes prepared for warfare. The commander of the Lord’s army was stirring up their hearts, getting them ready to engage the enemy. He was focussing their hearts on the one who loved them so much. As they did so their worship arose to the King of Kings and Lord of Lords.
All fear gently dropped away from these warriors as they fixed their gaze upon Him. In that place of worship they took on a stature of boldness and courage. Weary ones became strong. A powerful army of worshipping warriors arose, standing alert and with their hearts prepared and ready for war.
The commander took his place and the army marched forward with their hearts full of worship, lifting their voices as one they cried, “Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord God Almighty. Who was and is and is to come”.
(NIV) 2 Chronicles 20: 15-29
He said: “Listen, King Jehoshaphat and all who live in Judah and Jerusalem! This is what the Lord says to you: ‘Do not be afraid or discouraged because of this vast army. For the battle is not yours, but God’s. Tomorrow march down against them. They will be climbing up by the Pass of Ziz, and you will find them at the end of the gorge in the Desert of Jeruel. You will not have to fight this battle. Take up your positions; stand firm and see the deliverance the Lord will give you, Judah and Jerusalem. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged. Go out to face them tomorrow, and the Lord will be with you.’”
Jehoshaphat bowed down with his face to the ground, and all the people of Judah and Jerusalem fell down in worship before the Lord. Then some Levites from the Kohathites and Korahites stood up and praised the Lord, the God of Israel, with a very loud voice.
Early in the morning they left for the Desert of Tekoa. As they set out, Jehoshaphat stood and said, “Listen to me, Judah and people of Jerusalem! Have faith in the Lord your God and you will be upheld; have faith in his prophets and you will be successful.” After consulting the people, Jehoshaphat appointed men to sing to the Lord and to praise him for the splendour of his holiness as they went out at the head of the army, saying:
“Give thanks to the Lord,
for his love endures forever.”
As they began to sing and praise, the Lord set ambushes against the men of Ammon and Moab and Mount Seir who were invading Judah, and they were defeated. The Ammonites and Moabites rose up against the men from Mount Seir to destroy and annihilate them. After they finished slaughtering the men from Seir, they helped to destroy one another.
When the men of Judah came to the place that overlooks the desert and looked toward the vast army, they saw only dead bodies lying on the ground; no one had escaped. So Jehoshaphat and his men went to carry off their plunder, and they found among them a great amount of equipment and clothing and also articles of value—more than they could take away. There was so much plunder that it took three days to collect it. On the fourth day they assembled in the Valley of Berakah, where they praised the Lord. This is why it is called the Valley of Berakahto this day.
Then, led by Jehoshaphat, all the men of Judah and Jerusalem returned joyfully to Jerusalem, for the Lord had given them cause to rejoice over their enemies. They entered Jerusalem and went to the temple of the Lord with harps and lyres and trumpets.
The fear of God came on all the surrounding kingdoms when they heard how the Lord had fought against the enemies of Israel. And the kingdom of Jehoshaphat was at peace, for his God had given him rest on every side.
3/10/17 Scotland Arise
Scotland, will you allow your land to be divided up into little parcels, ruled by the spirit of religion, ruled by those who would own what I am doing? I have a calling on you to be a land of Prophets and warriors, yet you allow divisions to occur in your land, with each holding a part. I call you as a united nation, to come in humility and to lay down your own agendas. Do not let the clannish mentality keep you apart. One says I follow ……….. and another says I follow……………. and yet, AM I not over them all? My heart is that you will be a catalyst to the nations. A birthplace for My plans and purposes. I call you to stand together.
I call on all, who have a heart for Scotland, to arise and to stand in intercession, that My plans and purposes would come forth in this season, that there would be no more delays in this nation, that I have set apart for My Glory.
I call My servant leaders forth, those who would show what it means to truly set others before themselves or their ministries, those who would put Me first!
(NIV) 1 Corinthians 1: 10-13
I appeal to you, brothers and sisters, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree with one another in what you say and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be perfectly united in mind and thought. My brothers and sisters, some from Chloe’s household have informed me that there are quarrels among you. What I mean is this: One of you says, “I follow Paul”; another, “I follow Apollos”; another, “I follow Cephas”; still another, “I follow Christ.”
Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Were you baptized in the name of Paul?
(NIV) Romans 16: 17-19
I urge you, brothers and sisters, to watch out for those who cause divisions and put obstacles in your way that are contrary to the teaching you have learned. Keep away from them. For such people are not serving our Lord Christ, but their own appetites. By smooth talk and flattery they deceive the minds of naive people. Everyone has heard about your obedience, so I rejoice because of you; but I want you to be wise about what is good, and innocent about what is evil.
(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.
4/10/17 Arise to Your “CALL”
Beloved this is a season of accelerated pace in all things, physical, emotional and spiritual. It is not a time to hold back and allow others to move ahead of you. Shake off all passivity, lethargy and apathy. Do not allow yesterdays failures to stop you moving forward into the plans I have for you. I chose you before the foundation of the world to be who you are, with all your unique gifts and talents.
This is a season where my remnant will rise to take their place in this world. They will be a people who are bold and courageous and they will do great exploits in and through me. Allow your inner core to remain focussed on me. Shake off all that would hinder and arise to your call!
(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 towards what is ahead, I press on towards the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenwards in Christ Jesus.
(NIV) Isaiah 52: 1-2
Awake, awake, Zion,
clothe yourself with strength!
Put on your garments of splendour,
Jerusalem, the holy city.
The uncircumcised and defiled
will not enter you again.
Shake off your dust;
rise up, sit enthroned, Jerusalem.
Free yourself from the chains on your neck,
Daughter Zion, now a captive.
(NIV) Revelation 17: 14
They will wage war against the Lamb, but the Lamb will triumph over them because he is Lord of lords and King of kings—and with him will be his called, chosen and faithful followers.”
5/10/17 The Last Great awakening
Multitudes, multitudes standing in the valley of decision. Each heart being pulled in different directions. Uncertain and unsure which way to go.
Yet I say, “NO MORE!”
I am calling those of you, in that place of indecisiveness, to turn and follow Me. No more delay, no more hesitation. For I will have a pure and spotless bride. I will have a people whose hearts are fully surrendered to Me. I AM a jealous God and I have made a covenant with you, My people, that you would have no other gods before Me. That you would live uprightly before Me. I have written my laws upon your hearts and minds. Come away from those places of indecision and follow wholeheartedly after Me.
As you do this you will enter and become part of the Last Great Awakening, where multitudes will come, bow the knee and worship at My throne.
(NIV) Joel 3: 14
Multitudes, multitudes
in the valley of decision!
For the day of the Lord is near
in the valley of decision.
(NIV) Hebrews 8: 10-12
This is the covenant I will establish with the people of Israel
after that time, declares the Lord.
I will put my laws in their minds
and write them on their hearts.
I will be their God,
and they will be my people.
No longer will they teach their neighbour,
or say to one another, ‘Know the Lord,’
because they will all know me,
from the least of them to the greatest.
For I will forgive their wickedness
and will remember their sins no more
6/10/17 MY Healing Kiss
Beloved, I have watched you as you have grown and matured, as you have made decisions to forsake all others, to lay aside the things you care about, to lay aside your own desires, wants and even your own needs. I have stood as a proud Father knowing that you have made decisions that were right, but knowing too that they have been very costly to you. Not only in terms of your own comfort, but also the cost you have paid in laying down relationships with those that you have loved dearly.
My dear one, know that I am proud of you, that I love you and that I care. I lift your face to my face and I kiss away your tears and I hold you close to me. I surround you with my love and I spread my cloak around you. I am jealous for you, I am jealous for your heart, I am jealous for all of you. You are mine!
(NIV) Song of Songs 1: 2
Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth—
for your love is more delightful than wine.
(NIV) Song of Songs 8: 6-7
Place me like a seal over your heart,
like a seal on your arm;
for love is as strong as death,
its jealousy unyielding as the grave.
It burns like blazing fire,
like a mighty flame
Many waters cannot quench love;
rivers cannot sweep it away.
If one were to give
all the wealth of one’s house for love,
it would be utterly scorned.
(NIV) Galatians 5: 23-25
Gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit.
9/10/17 Victory banner
See I have placed My victory banner over you. I have planted it there for all time. It will never perish, spoil or fade. It has become My shield of protection around you, a force to be reckoned with. I have won the final victory over death and hell and made a public spectacle of the defeated foe.
I have triumphed over all and I have given the keys into your hands. Use them with the full authority that I have specified to you, to open and close the doors that I show you. Watch and listen for My wisdom and revelation coming to the fore in every situation. You have the mind of Christ, nothing is hidden from you. Ask and you will receive all that is necessary to understand the times and the seasons.
You are moving from a place of victory!
(NIV) Psalm 60: 4
But for those who fear you, you have raised a banner
to be unfurled against the bow.
(NIV) Song of Song 2: 3b-4
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) 1 Corinthians 15: 57
But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
(NIV) Exodus 17: 15-16
Moses built an altar and called it The Lord is my Banner. He said, “Because hands were lifted up against the throne of the Lord, the Lord will be at war against the Amalekites from generation to generation.”
(NIV) Isaiah 11: 10
In that day the Root of Jesse will stand as a banner for the peoples; the nations will rally to him, and his resting place will be glorious.
(NIV) Colossians 2: 15
And having disarmed the powers and authorities, he made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the cross.
10/10/17 Heaven’s eyes
I looked and behold there was a pair of huge eyes gazing down into the very core of me. I tried to pull my gaze away, but could not. I was transfixed by the love in the eyes. I watched as a tear gently arose and began to slowly roll down the face of the one in front of me. As I watched, my heart leapt and I caught my breath, as I felt the pain in my heart begin to come forth. From the very depth of my being, one painful memory after another came to the surface and the tears poured down my face. I watched as the tears rolled down His face in response to mine. As I kept looking into His eyes, He brought His finger up so, so gently to my face and as He did so, I felt the pain come out of each memory and suddenly the memory itself disappeared. No longer the trauma and pain, but a depth of peace and security entered my soul and flooded every part. The process continued for some time.
I heard His voice, filled with such care and compassion. “My beautiful one, I died not only for your physical pain, but for your broken heart too. I release you to love and trust again, filled with life and vitality, to look to the future with fresh hope and certainty. I Am the One who makes your heart whole.”
(NIV) Luke 4: 18-19
“The Spirit of the Lord is on me,
because he has anointed me
to proclaim good news to the poor.
He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners
and recovery of sight for the blind,
to set the oppressed free,
to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favour.”
(NIV) Isaiah 53: 2-5
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.
and the Lord has laid on him
the iniquity of us all.
11/10/17 What Is In Your Hand?
I have released to you my family, gifts that come with Holy Spirit anointing. These gifts carry such power and authority to shift atmospheres, and even change the direction of nations. As you speak in my name, every ear will hear and every knee will bow.
When you play your instruments and sing the heavenly choir sings with you. When you pray for the sick they are healed, even when you lay hands, the lame shall walk and the wheel chairs will have no occupants. The dead will be raised.
Many desire the gifts of others, the singer wants to be a prophet, the pastor wants to be able to play the keyboards, the evangelist wants to serve tea and even the doorman wants to be the pastor.
I have called you and anointed you, to be who you are, for you are unique and the gift that you carry will be excelled in you. You were created to fulfil the purpose of your gifting.
Yes it is good to go after more, but rejoice in what you have now!
(NIV) Romans 11: 29
…. for God’s gifts and his call are irrevocable.
(NIV) 1 Corinthians 12: 1-11
Now about the gifts of the Spirit, brothers and sisters, I do not want you to be uninformed. You know that when you were pagans, somehow or other you were influenced and led astray to mute idols. Therefore I want you to know that no one who is speaking by the Spirit of God says, “Jesus be cursed,” and no one can say, “Jesus is Lord,” except by the Holy Spirit.
There are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit distributes them. There are different kinds of service, but the same Lord. There are different kinds of working, but in all of them and in everyone it is the same God at work.
Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good. To one there is given through the Spirit a message of wisdom, to another a message of knowledge by means of the same Spirit, to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by that one Spirit, to another miraculous powers, to another prophecy, to another distinguishing between spirits, to another speaking in different kinds of tongues, and to still another the interpretation of tongues. All these are the work of one and the same Spirit, and he distributes them to each one, just as he determines.
12/10/17 Beyond Your Wildest Dreams
You my friends are like a steam train sat in the station waiting to pull out and start on your journey.
Everything is ready. The engine has been stoked and has a full head of steam. The throttle is opened, and the train starts to gently move forward and out onto the open tracks. As the throttle is opened more and more the train picks up speed and where the countryside is passing by at a slow speed, it will suddenly begin moving faster. Suddenly, the speed at which the countryside is passing will be increased exponentially. The train will begin to transition.
The train is no longer a steam train, but that of a new high speed one, fully connected into the power source of the lines above.
I heard the Father say, “Even now I am creating a forward momentum within you and around you. Look and see what I am doing. The chains of the past have already been cut away. The old has gone and the new has come. There is no longer anything to stop you or hold you back. Everything is in place and even now is gathering speed. There is a continuing shift of focus from the old to the new. The acceleration of this time is seen in all that is around you. The days blur into weeks, the weeks into months, and the months into years. I am taking you on a journey of discovery and adventure, such as you could not imagine, even in your wildest dreams. The things that you have longed for and that seemed out of reach are now within your grasp. This season is one of acceleration and forward momentum for all.”
(NIV) Philippians 3: 7-14
But whatever were gains to me I now consider loss for the sake of Christ. What is more, I consider everything a loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them garbage, that I may gain Christ and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ—the righteousness that comes from God on the basis of faith. I want to know Christ—yes, to know the power of his resurrection and participation in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, and so, somehow, attaining to the resurrection from the dead.
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) 2 Corinthians 5: 17
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!
(NIV) 2 Peter 3: 11b-13
You ought to live holy and godly lives as you look forward to the day of God and speed its coming. That day will bring about the destruction of the heavens by fire, and the elements will melt in the heat. But in keeping with his promise we are looking forward to a new heaven and a new earth, where righteousness dwells.
13/10/17 Tickling Ears
There are wolves among the sheep, they hide in plain sight and speak fluently the language of knowledge. They capture the attention of the flock and say walk this way. Soothingly they bring their knowledge of my living word and make it their own. You will see them take apart a single word and feed off it for months. Changing and manipulating that word until it fits their twisted theology. Their treasure is the knowledge of their own thoughts and, control of the sheep in the pen.
Turn away my friends from those who come to tickle your ears, with their soft and enticing words. Their knowledge is not my truth. Their godless chatter will stop up your ears, and bring you into a place where you leave your faith sitting at the entrance to their houses, so that you can pick it up again when you leave.
I AM THE WAY, THE TRUTH, AND THE LIFE.
(NIV) 1 Timothy 6: 19-21
In this way they will lay up treasure for themselves as a firm foundation for the coming age, so that they may take hold of the life that is truly life.
Timothy, guard what has been entrusted to your care. Turn away from godless chatter and the opposing ideas of what is falsely called knowledge, which some have professed and in so doing have departed from the faith.
Grace be with you all.
(NIV) Acts 20: 28-30
Keep watch over yourselves and all the flock of which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers. Be shepherds of the church of God, which he bought with his own blood. I know that after I leave, savage wolves will come in among you and will not spare the flock. Even from your own number men will arise and distort the truth in order to draw away disciples after them.
(NIV) John 14: 6-7
Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. If you really know me, you will know my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him.”
16/10/17 Iron Sharpens Iron
There are seasons, where it is difficult to recognise, who wants the best for you or the best for them. Do we always recognise friend from foe, or do we need to look at our own heart?
I have placed many people into your life, from birth to old age. These people shape you, your mum and dad they help to care for you and teach you to be like them. Your teachers at school are there to guide you into the learning process, how to speak, count, write, dance, sing, write poetry and become a person, that fits into a well organised society. I have also placed into your life the church, pastors, and teachers, prophets, evangelists and even apostles. Each of these is here to serve you, and bring you to a better place of understanding of Me and My Kingdom.
Some of them have not matched up to your expectation, of what you believe they should look like. I, on the other hand have sent you exactly who you needed, for My plan and purpose is being worked out in your life. Those who have challenged you, made you stronger. Those who hurt you, made you care more for others. Those who rejected you helped you to wrap your arms around the hopeless and dying. Those who scorned you and gossiped about you brought you into complete freedom for you have nothing hidden.
Each one did the job they were called to do.
(NIV) Proverbs 27: 17
As iron sharpens iron,
so one person sharpens another.
(NIV) Romans 8: 28-39
And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters. And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified.
What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things? Who will bring any charge against those whom God has chosen? It is God who justifies. Who then is the one who condemns? No one. Christ Jesus who died—more than that, who was raised to life—is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? As it is written:
“For your sake we face death all day long;
we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.”
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.
17/10/17 “YOU” Hold “MY” Gaze!
Doubt is like a wet blanket that surrounds you, and tries to envelop every thought and action in your life. Doubt is a liar, it is a demonic spirit of control that hungrily eats up every part of your strength and resolve, you are left weak and oppressed, and every thought becomes your own worst enemy.
My beautiful bride, my words over you are, “that I will never leave you or forsake you” and “I never will”. Doubt has no place in me or mine. You are bathed in my living light, and that has washed away all doubt. Fix your eyes completely on me and I will fill your horizon.
From the rising of the sun till the end of every day, you my beloved, hold my gaze. I look upon your face and I see my love reflected from every part of you. For in me you are free to soar with the eagles.
(NIV) Hebrews 13: 5-6
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?”
(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.
18/10/17 Transparent Supernatural Vision
It is time to step out of the normal, through the veil, and into the supernatural, leaving behind every hindrance that comes to rob you, of the clear and transparent vision I have released over your life, through my Spirit. See with clarity as you move forward with the seers anointing. Watch as the panorama of detail, is revealed to your spiritual vision.
Speak out what you see, look deeper as the colours of the vista around you explode with supernatural understanding. Sail into uncharted waters teaming with Prophetic revelation for all around you. Open the treasure chests of Heaven and pour out the riches upon all who have an ear to hear.
This is your adventure, live it!
(NIV) Matthew 13: 51-52
“Have you understood all these things?” Jesus asked.
“Yes,” they replied.
He said to them, “Therefore every teacher of the law who has become a disciple in the kingdom of heaven is like the owner of a house who brings out of his storeroom new treasures as well as old.”
(NIV) Acts 18: 8-10
Crispus, the synagogue leader, and his entire household believed in the Lord; and many of the Corinthians who heard Paul believed and were baptized.
One night the Lord spoke to Paul in a vision: “Do not be afraid; keep on speaking, do not be silent. For I am with you, and no one is going to attack and harm you, because I have many people in this city.”
(NIV) Isaiah 45: 2-3
I will go before you
and will level the mountains;
I will break down gates of bronze
and cut through bars of iron.
I will give you hidden treasures,
riches stored in secret places,
so that you may know that I am the Lord,
the God of Israel, who summons you by name.
19/10/17 Opening before You
There is a soft breeze flowing through your life, it brings the aroma of new things, fresh gifts and anointings are being released over you. Stay still in my presence and wait for me in the secret place, for it is here that we will talk together about all the mysteries that I am releasing to my friends.
Watch as my peace fills every valley of your life and the warmth of my light invades the shadows of doubt and confusion. Open your spiritual eyes and see the rising of the sun. A new day is opening before you and every step you take will be filled with power and authority.
Come my intercessors and open the land with your prayers. Watch as your words of power force the enemy back. Speak out life upon your friends, your family, your towns and your cities. Prepare the way for the revival that will change the face of this earth.
(NIV) Psalm 92: 13-15a
Planted in the house of the Lord,
they will flourish in the courts of our God.
They will still bear fruit in old age,
they will stay fresh and green,
proclaiming, “The Lord is upright;
he is my Rock
(NIV) Psalm 23: 3-5
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.
(NIV) Revelation 8: 3-5
Another angel, who had a golden censer, came and stood at the altar. He was given much incense to offer, with the prayers of all God’s people, on the golden altar in front of the throne. The smoke of the incense, together with the prayers of God’s people, went up before God from the angel’s hand. Then the angel took the censer, filled it with fire from the altar, and hurled it on the earth; and there came peals of thunder, rumblings, flashes of lightning and an earthquake.
20/10/17 My Inheritance
There are many among you who find running difficult, your stamina is low, for the weight you are carrying is making you slow down, and at times will bring you to a gasping stop. The enemy has surrounded you and piled upon your shoulders every weight he can find, to weigh down your mind with lies, he fills your eyes with deceit and your mouth with gossip. He is a liar and a thief, it is time you got to know and recognise your enemy Satan.
I release you from the weights that you have been carrying, I command that your ears be shut to the words of the enemy and be supernaturally opened to my still small voice. I release to you a lightness of thought so that there is no place for the enemy to hide in the shadows of your mind. I free your tongue from the chains of servitude to gossip and release over you a voice of authority and a tongue of honour for all that you speak.
I have called each of you by name, you are my family, my beloved, my beautiful ones. Your names are engraved upon my hands, I know every hair upon your heads and every step you take, I collect every tear and I hold you through the darkest of nights. You are never alone for I am always with you, there is nowhere in, on, or under this earth that you can go where I will not reach you.
You are my inheritance, I will never leave you or reject you.
(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) 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) Ephesians 1: 17-19
I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better. I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in his holy people, and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is the same as the mighty strength
23/10/17 Boundaries of Faith
My friends do not allow the confusion of your present situation, distract you from the path I have laid before you. Set your face like flint and move ahead of the disarray that seems to be filling your vision. The enemy is trying to pull you in many different directions at the same time, causing you to deal with situations that pull you down into the quicksand of indecision.
Lift all things in prayer and leave them with me. Walk free, knowing that I have made the path straight before you. I have made you to be one who runs with the wild horses, you will know the whispers of the wind. My beloved you will go further and push the boundaries of faith. You will open the new territories that are being revealed to you, even in the night hours, as My Spirit visits your dreams and pours out the blue prints of time.
(NIV) Mark 11: 23-25
“Truly I tell you, if anyone says to this mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the sea,’ and does not doubt in their heart but believes that what they say will happen, it will be done for them. Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive them, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins.”
(NIV) Isaiah 50: 7
Because the Sovereign Lord helps me,
I will not be disgraced.
Therefore have I set my face like flint,
and I know I will not be put to shame.
(NIV) Acts 2: 17-18
“‘In the last days, God says,
I will pour out my Spirit on all people.
Your sons and daughters will prophesy,
your young men will see visions,
your old men will dream dreams.
Even on my servants, both men and women,
I will pour out my Spirit in those days,
and they will prophesy.
24/10/17 Free to Fly
I am restoring all places of brokenness in your life, those deep wounds that have left scars of pain in your heart, I am washing away. Even the scars of time will not remain for I am completing what I began in you my precious and beautiful one.
You are amazing and unique my beloved, there is only one of you, created to be you. Filled with hope for all your tomorrows in me, are yes and amen.
As the butterfly struggles out its cocoon, the strength it needs to fly is only injected as it sits in the warmth of the sun, it dries its wings and they begin to stretch out into their fullness, the colours begin to shine and the full beauty is finally seen.
Fully restored and free to fly.
(NIV) 2 Corinthians 1: 19-20
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.
(NIV) Joel 2: 23-26
Be glad, people of Zion,
rejoice in the Lord your God,
for he has given you the autumn rains
because he is faithful.
He sends you abundant showers,
both autumn and spring rains, as before.
The threshing floors will be filled with grain;
the vats will overflow with new wine and oil.
“I will repay you for the years the locusts have eaten—
the great locust and the young locust,
the other locusts and the locust swarm—
my great army that I sent among you.
You will have plenty to eat, until you are full,
and you will praise the name of the Lord your God,
who has worked wonders for you;
never again will my people be shamed.
(NIV) Colossians 2: 9-11
For in Christ all the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form, and in Christ you have been brought to fullness. He is the head over every power and authority. In him you were also circumcised with a circumcision not performed by human hands. Your whole self-ruled by the flesh was put off when you were circumcised by Christ.
25/10/17 My Love Letter
What inspires you? A beautiful flower dripping with the morning dew, a stream bubbling as the sun glints off its shimmering surface, the cry of the eagle as it soars high in the sky, the cold crisp air of a mountain summit, the scream of laughter from a child, the words in a book written just for you?
I wrote a book and you are the reason, every word of my book carries my love to your heart, my book is a love story to my children, my family, my beloved, my bride.
Every word drips with my tenderness, pouring out over the eons of time, to bring inspiration to my chosen ones, each of you are set apart; your hearts carry my love letter to a love sick world.
(NIV) 2 Corinthians 5: 17-19
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here! All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting people’s sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation.
(NIV) John 1: 1-3
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made.
(NIV) Revelation 3: 7b-8
These are the words of him who is holy and true, who holds the key of David. What he opens no one can shut, and what he shuts no one can open. I know your deeds. See, I have placed before you an open door that no one can shut. I know that you have little strength, yet you have kept my word and have not denied my name.
26/10/17 Turning the Tide
Your day can be very much like the might flowing river as the tide turns, and the sea floods into your tributaries. The speed of the incoming flow washes powerfully up and into your daily walk. As the water rises and the undercurrents take hold, it becomes harder and harder to stand your ground, as you are pushed to and fro by unseen forces. When it is at its full height, the power and speed of this flowing river takes control of all around it.
Then the tide turns, my beloved, and all that flows against you is slowly released back into the sea. The water levels drop and the ground that was lost, becomes evident as the peace returns to the flow of a meandering stream.
As you walk through this day my friends, when the rushing waters become too much for you, and you sense that you are unable to stand against the flow, take courage and wait upon me, for I will turn the tide and bring my perfect peace flowing into, and around your lives.
(NIV) Song of Songs 8: 6-7
Place me like a seal over your heart,
like a seal on your arm;
for love is as strong as death,
its jealousy unyielding as the grave.
It burns like blazing fire,
like a mighty flame.
Many waters cannot quench love;
rivers cannot sweep it away.
If one were to give
all the wealth of one’s house for love,
it would be utterly scorned.
(NIV) Psalm 65: 6-8
who formed the mountains by your power,
having armed yourself with strength,
who stilled the roaring of the seas,
the roaring of their waves,
and the turmoil of the nations.
The whole earth is filled with awe at your wonders;
where morning dawns, where evening fades,
you call forth songs of joy.
27/10/17 True Love
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 heaven itself.
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 you 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) 1John 3: 23-24
And this is his command: to believe in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ, and to love one another as he commanded us. The one who keeps God’s commands lives in him, and he in them. And this is how we know that he lives in us: We know it by the Spirit he gave us.
(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.
30/10/17 Raise the Dead
Do you sense the hunger rising within you? Can you taste the sweet morsels being released like manna from heaven? Move forward with anticipation, for the sounds of heaven are already being heard in the nations.
My church knows the seasons, and you my beloved, are aware of my Spirit being poured out over all flesh. This is a time of feasting, are you hungry for a greater depth of relationship with me? Then reach out and be transformed as the remnant that you are.
Holy Spirit will meet with you in your worship. Your new songs will melt the hearts of a stubborn world. When you preach my word it will cut through the barriers of sin and shame. Boldly lay hands on the sick, and watch the dead being raised from the grave.
(NIV) Luke 6: 20-22
Looking at his disciples, he said:
“Blessed are you who are poor,
for yours is the kingdom of God.
Blessed are you who hunger now,
for you will be satisfied.
Blessed are you who weep now,
for you will laugh.
Blessed are you when people hate you,
when they exclude you and insult you
and reject your name as evil,
because of the Son of Man.
(NIV) Luke 7: 21-22
At that very time Jesus cured many who had diseases, sicknesses and evil spirits, and gave sight to many who were blind. So he replied to the messengers, “Go back and report to John what you have seen and heard: The blind receive sight, the lame walk, those who have leprosy are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the good news is proclaimed to the poor.
31/10/17 I will walk with you
There are many who are being challenged in their walk at this time. Do you go back to the things of the past, where you found comfort and you tried to fit in, even with those things which you did not agree with, where you were happy to not rock the boat? Or do you choose to look ahead and walk forward?
It is the same path but you are also aware that you control what happens in and around you. For it is by your free choice as to how and when you step out. There may be some pitfalls here but you can easily manoeuvre around these.
Then there is the, path less travelled before you. This road I will walk with you. There is no need for fear here. You will not know what is before you, but your hand will be in my hand. There is such a depth of trust in you. By faith you will walk in honour and in humbleness to your fellow man. Here you will hunger after the lost and even pursue them, so that they will be counted among the great harvest. You my beloved will walk in righteousness and truth. A beacon to all who follow you onto the path that leads to the Kingdom.
(NIV) Matthew 7: 13-14
“Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.
(NIV) Matthew 14: 25-33
Shortly before dawn Jesus went out to them, walking on the lake. When the disciples saw him walking on the lake, they were terrified. “It’s a ghost,” they said, and cried out in fear.
But Jesus immediately said to them: “Take courage! It is I. Don’t be afraid.”
“Lord, if it’s you,” Peter replied, “tell me to come to you on the water.”
“Come,” he said.
Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus. But when he saw the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, “Lord, save me!”
Immediately Jesus reached out his hand and caught him. “You of little faith,” he said, “why did you doubt?”
And when they climbed into the boat, the wind died down. Then those who were in the boat worshiped him, saying, “Truly you are the Son of God.”
