30/9/15 The Way of Truth
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) 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.”
29/9/15 Come Boldly
Today, come boldly into my throne room. Lift up your hands and enter in with worship. Do not hold back! I look on you and I see Jesus. No more hiding, no more fearfulness. Can’t you see that my eyes are full of laughter and that they smile at you? I am so for you and not against you. I delight as a Father rejoices, even over the first step of a newborn, the first dada from an infant’s lips. But you are so much more in my sight and I so rejoice and delight over you. I cannot wait to release the angels to help you, to direct you and to support you in all your endeavours.
Dance and twirl as you sing the new songs. Let my music flow over you like the streams of living water. Splash about, going deeper, deeper and deeper into my presence.
BUT COME BOLDLY!!
(NIV) Hebrews 4:16
Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.
(NIV) 2 Corinthians 3:11-13
And if what was transitory came with glory, how much greater is the glory of that which lasts!
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 Israelites from seeing the end of what was passing away.
28/9/15 Test and try
Many are the voices in the land at this time, so many are speaking of doom and gloom, but I say to you, my voice is the one that carries hope, love and joy. I do not leave you to dwell in darkness. I have brought you out into open spacious places for you to dwell and to enjoy. Let hope arise in your hearts and know that through me, you are victorious, you are more than conquerors, you are seated in heavenly places in me and I ride forth in triumph. I have defeated death and hell for you. I have overcome the enemy. You are in me and I am in you, therefore, you too have overcome the enemy!
Test and try every word and deed, and where there is the negative, bring the positive of my love, my hope and my joy. Watch as the world around you begins to change. Speak my words of life with boldness and courage. Decree and declare my life into all around you. I came to bring you life and life abundantly.
(NIV) John 10:10
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) 1 John 4:1-8
Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world. This is how you can recognise the Spirit of God: every spirit that acknowledges that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, but every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming and even now is already in the world.
You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world. They are from the world and therefore speak from the viewpoint of the world, and the world listens to them. We are from God, and whoever knows God listens to us; but whoever is not from God does not listen to us. This is how we recognise the Spirit of truth and the spirit of falsehood.
Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.
25/9/15 Chariots
Many are the journeys that I want to take you on, even in the night seasons, as I begin to reveal my plans and purposes to you. I will send forth my chariots in this season to catch you up. I am raising up men and women out of places of obscurity, where I have been training them in ways unseen. They are coming forth as those equipped to lead, guide, direct and protect my people. They come however in ways that are humble and gentle full of my love and heart. Do not underestimate these dear ones, for they will come with such determination and boldness. I will encompass them around with my Spirit. They will know how to rule and reign, not out of harshness or fear, but out of compassion, mercy and love.
(NIV) Revelation 19:11-14
I saw heaven standing open and there before me was a white horse, whose rider is called Faithful and True. With justice he judges and wages war. His eyes are like blazing fire, and on his head are many crowns. He has a name written on him that no one knows but he himself. He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood, and his name is the Word of God. The armies of heaven were following him, riding on white horses and dressed in fine linen, white and clean.
(NIV) Colossians 3:12
Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience.
(NIV) 2 Kings 6:17
And Elisha prayed, “Open his eyes, Lord, so that he may see.” Then the Lord opened the servant’s eyes, and he looked and saw the hills full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha.
24/9/15 Spotlight
I will have a pure and spotless bride, one that is set apart and ready for me.
I have been shining my spotlight on areas of your life where I am challenging you in your knowledge of me. Too long you have sat and accepted all that was taught, without ever coming to me, to ask what I wanted to teach you. I am opening your eyes so that you can see afresh and I am opening your mind to the fullness of my knowledge.
Do not shy away from my spotlight as I will not bring harshness or judgement over your life. Instead through my love, mercy and grace I will teach and train you in my ways and you will be full of light, joy and peace as you yield yourself to me.
(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) Ephesians 5:1-2
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.
23/9/15 5776 Jubilee
My family, today is a day of freedom. Supernatural restoration is released, to each of you and even to your generational lines, as all debt is cancelled in this jubilee year.
There is a moving forward, nothing will remain the same as the Holy Spirit pours out fresh anointings to my bride, as she moves into the harvest fields and sends forth her missionaries, for the Nations of this world will all bend the knee to my throne, and will know the full power of the Kingdom of God.
You have been prepared, washed clean, anointed and called, you are my church and I release you now, to move fully and completely into your kingdom commissioning as Sons and Daughters of the Living God.
(NIV) Leviticus 25: 8-10a
“‘Count off seven Sabbath years—seven times seven years—so that the seven Sabbath years amount to a period of forty-nine years. Then have the trumpet sounded everywhere on the tenth day of the seventh month; on the Day of Atonement sound the trumpet throughout your land. Consecrate the fiftieth year and proclaim liberty throughout the land to all its inhabitants. It shall be a jubilee for you.
(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.
22/9/15 Can of beans
My dear ones do not be or become like a can of beans! Why do I say that? A can of beans is known for the uniformity and conformity of the beans. They all look alike, they are the same size and colour. Anything that is different at all is weeded out long before they are soaked, baked and covered in sauce.
I never called my people to look alike, to talk alike or to do everything the same way. I called you to be my body, each one of you uniquely joined together. Why then do you place requirements on others that I do not place on you? I have given you all free will and choice to walk uprightly before me.
You are called to be different, to not be conformed to the things of this world, but to be transformed by the renewing of your mind. I love diversity, just look at the many cultures, the varieties of colours, the landscapes, the sunsets and sunrises, the many amazingly beautiful animals and insects and yet each one is precious to me.
Just be you!
(NIV) 1 Corinthians 12:12-20
Just as a body, though one, has many parts, but all its many parts form one body, so it is with Christ. For we were all baptised by one Spirit so as to form one body – whether Jews or Gentiles, slave or free – and we were all given the one Spirit to drink. And so the body is not made up of one part but of many.
Now if the foot should say, ‘Because I am not a hand, I do not belong to the body,’ it would not for that reason stop being part of the body. And if the ear should say, ‘Because I am not an eye, I do not belong to the body,’ it would not for that reason stop being part of the body. If the whole body were an eye, where would the sense of hearing be? If the whole body were an ear, where would the sense of smell be? But in fact God has placed the parts in the body, every one of them, just as he wanted them to be. If they were all one part, where would the body be? As it is, there are many parts, but one body.
(NIV) 1 Peter 2:4-5
As you come to him, the living Stone – rejected by humans but chosen by God and precious to him – you also, like living stones, are being built into a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood, offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.
21/9/15 The alignment of the herd
The five horses are beginning to come into alignment, it has taken many seasons for each of them to put down their own plans and purposes and take up fully the blueprints of kingdom values. They have been running in the herd, but there has always been one or two who hungered for the lead, and ran forward at full tilt, until wisdom spoke.
Who are these horses? These are the fivefold ministry, now coming into alignment, with the call of wisdom, from the father’s throne. No one tries to get ahead of the others, but each shoulder to shoulder, running the race set before them, united as one.
As this alignment comes together, it will release to my church the fullness of kingdom authority and power, as each of you become fully mature and built up in me.
(NIV) Ephesians 4: 11-16
So Christ himself gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and teachers, to equip his people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ.
Then we will no longer be infants, tossed back and forth by the waves, and blown here and there by every wind of teaching and by the cunning and craftiness of people in their deceitful scheming. Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will grow to become in every respect the mature body of him who is the head, that is, Christ. From him the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its work.
18/9/15 THE Finest Wine
When you go out and buy a bottle of wine, you look at the bottle and read what it describes the contents to be, the flavours, the body, the nation and even where the grape was grown? In the high mountains or the valley floor, did it have rain or sun? You pay a little or a lot, to have the privilege to uncork this wine and drink it.
There are many my friend who are like this wine, they look good when you see them. What has been written about them attracts you to what they carry. The flavours of what binds them together sound appealing to your taste. You my friend are willing to pay whatever it may cost you to own that wine, to be part of it.
Only when you uncork that bottle, and pour out that wine, can you then taste and know is it truly sweet or bitter.
The finest wine can be found in the plainest of bottles, choose wisely.
(NIV) 1 John 4: 1-3
Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world. This is how you can recognize the Spirit of God: Every spirit that acknowledges that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, but every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming and even now is already in the world.
17/9/15 The Fix List
There are many who say “when I have my family sorted out then I can serve the kingdom of God”.
This statement above is a lie. The people and situations around your life do not define who I am in your life. Each of you who have called on my name are healed, set free, Holy Spirit filled and carry my full authority and power.
What is your fix list? When my son and daughter are no longer using drugs or alcohol, when my husband/wife stops putting me down, when my boss starts caring, when my Christian leader recognises my full potential. These are just a few, there are many more reasons thought up daily to stop you from walking into your full potential. . Do not let the sins of those around you and their lifestyle choices control and manipulate your walk in me. Your focus should be fully upon me and the kingdom of God.
Your situation will change when you allow my yes and amen over your life to become your floor and not your ceiling. When you my church stand up and fulfil the full calling I have placed into your life, you will begin to see the transformation of your families and communities. You will be my voice of authority to command by my name, that the powers and principalities, will have no power to destroy the people that you love.
Each of you overflows, like one who is being poured out. You are my treasure on this earth. Seek out the treasure in every life you meet.
(NIV) Ephesians 6: 10-18
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, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people.
(NIIV) 1 Thessalonians 2: 11-13
For you know that we dealt with each of you as a father deals with his own children, encouraging, comforting and urging you to live lives worthy of God, who calls you into his kingdom and glory.
And we also thank God continually because, when you received the word of God, which you heard from us, you accepted it not as a human word, but as it actually is, the word of God, which is indeed at work in you who believe.
16/9/15 Sharpen Your Sword
As we move forward into this New Year, a whole new season is opening before each of you. Take out your sword from the place you have hidden it, begin to sharpen its edge, take off the dullness of time that has brought you to a place of regret.
My friend, you know me, my word is hidden deep in your heart, you hunger after the more, and you have a thirst that has been rising in the last season. Now you are ready to drink again your fill of the living waters of the Holy Spirit. There will be no more dryness in your well, for I am opening the wells of revival in the hearts of my people. You will become the overflowing wells that will wash away the dry and arid places in your own homes, your towns and your cities.
Strap on your sharpened sword. Release my living Word among the people and nations of this world, cut through the lies of the enemy that there is no hope.
I AM, Hope to every man, woman and child on this earth.
(NIV) Hebrews 4: 12-13
For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. Nothing in all creation is hidden from God’s sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give account.
(NIV) Isaiah 12: 2-4
Surely God is my salvation;
I will trust and not be afraid.
The Lord, the Lord himself, is my strength and my defence;
he has become my salvation.”
With joy you will draw water
from the wells of salvation.
In that day you will say:
“Give praise to the Lord, proclaim his name;
make known among the nations what he has done,
and proclaim that his name is exalted.
(NIV) Romans 5: 3-5
Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.
15/9/15 Flames of Freedom
The land cries out for justice.
I am releasing flames of freedom upon this world. You my beloved will watch the horizon burn, and it will be like the light of the sun, as my flames burn away the dross and defilement of greed. The flowers of the field will dance as my cleansing fire washes away the pestilence.
Stand strong my church, for new life grows from the ashes and it will be glorious. Know that you are called for such a time as this. As the new shoots rise out of the scorched earth, you will tend to them, and as they grow they will become strong and healthy.
Birthed in flame, they will know the power of the Holy Spirit.
(NIV) Hebrews 12: 28-29
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) Luke 3: 16-17
John answered them all, “I baptize you with water. But one who is more powerful than I will come, the straps of whose sandals I am not worthy to untie. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire. His winnowing fork is in his hand to clear his threshing floor and to gather the wheat into his barn, but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.”
14/9/15 Do Not Get Sucked In
There is a whirling vortex spinning around your life. It is there to try and suck you back into all the negative and controlling issues that have a false and lying manipulation over your emotions.
Be aware my beloved family, the enemy will try to cause disruption in and around your daily life, to drag you screaming back into the lies of your past life. He will come to you with family issues that you have dealt with and try to make you own them again, even though you have released them to the cross and walked away from them.
Be not unequally yoked. Know that those around you have your best interest at heart, and not their own manipulation of you and your situation. There are powers and principalities that are hungry to see you fall back into the old ways of anger and frustration, instead of love and forgiveness.
You my friend are a new creation, you walk in my footsteps. The past has no hold on you, for you call me Lord. Set your eyes upon me and hold fast.
(NIV) 2 Corinthians 6: 14-18
Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness? What harmony is there between Christ and Belial? Or what does a believer have in common with an unbeliever? What agreement is there between the temple of God and idols? For we are the temple of the living God. As God has said:
“I will live with them
and walk among them,
and I will be their God,
and they will be my people.”
Therefore,
“Come out from them
and be separate,
says the Lord.
Touch no unclean thing,
and I will receive you.”
And,
“I will be a Father to you,
and you will be my sons and daughters,
says the Lord Almighty.”
(NIV) John 13: 12-17
When he had finished washing their feet, he put on his clothes and returned to his place. “Do you understand what I have done for you?” he asked them. “You call me ‘Teacher’ and ‘Lord,’ and rightly so, for that is what I am. Now that I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also should wash one another’s feet. I have set you an example that you should do as I have done for you. Very truly I tell you, no servant is greater than his master, nor is a messenger greater than the one who sent him. Now that you know these things, you will be blessed if you do them.
11/9/15 No Place to Hide
Why do you try to hide from me? As Adam and Eve hid themselves away, do I not know where you are? Even your silence, when no words are spoken to me in prayer, do I not already know every word you will speak in your life time? When you feel dirty and unworthy of being in my presence, can I not walk into the very room you cower in? When sin lies to you, and tells you that I am angry with you, because you do not measure up to the calling on your life, I have already forgiven all your sins and paid the price for you.
I will seek you out, wherever you go, for my love for you cannot be hidden. There is nowhere on this earth, above or below that can keep me from wrapping my arms around you and holding you tight.
You are my family and I will always be with you.
(NIV) Genesis 3: 8-9
Then the man and his wife heard the sound of the Lord God as he was walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and they hid from the Lord God among the trees of the garden. But the Lord God called to the man, “Where are you?”
(NIV) Psalm 139: 7-12
Where can I go from your Spirit?
Where can I flee from your presence?
If I go up to the heavens, you are there;
if I make my bed in the depths, you are there.
If I rise on the wings of the dawn,
if I settle on the far side of the sea,
even there your hand will guide me,
your right hand will hold me fast.
If I say, “Surely the darkness will hide me
and the light become night around me,”
even the darkness will not be dark to you;
the night will shine like the day,
for darkness is as light to you.
(NIV) John 8: 34-36
Jesus replied, “Very truly I tell you, everyone who sins is a slave to sin. Now a slave has no permanent place in the family, but a son belongs to it forever. So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.
10/9/15 Out of the building
It’s time to come forth from those hidden structures. Time to put all the training you have received to good use. I never called you to sit inside buildings, getting fatter on my word. I called you to be those who would take my gospel to the ends of the earth.
One group cannot fulfil the Great Commission, nor can one man or woman. I set my people apart to be my witnesses throughout the whole earth. Your buildings are places of teaching, training and equipping just like universities, but just like universities, there comes that day of graduation and then you get to put to work, all that you have learned. Many times even unlearning and relearning how to do things better. So it is with my kingdom, many of you are now having, to unlearn all that you have been taught by others, in order to truly learn that my ways and thoughts are higher than your ways and thoughts. I am calling you out of your buildings!
(NIV) John 4:35
Don’t you have a saying, ‘It’s still four months until harvest’? I tell you, open your eyes and look at the fields! They are ripe for harvest.
(NIV) Matthew 28:18-20
Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”
9/9/15 Tough Love
Celebrate those around you, brother, sister and especially your enemies. Treat those who use you, and abuse you with love and kindness. When they blacken your name with continuous lies and innuendo! Pray for them. Lift their names before my throne and watch as I celebrate over their lives.
There are many who fear you, for you my friend look so different, from what they have become comfortable with in their religious houses. You will always stand out in the crowd for you carry my anointing and my presence. Where you are, people will begin to look at themselves and sense where they are lacking in their walk with me. This is an uncomfortable place for anyone, and you will become their target, for you will remind them of what and where they should be as kingdom citizens.
Love them, hold them and walk beside them.
My Love Covers All.
(NIV) Luke 6: 27-36
“But to you who are listening I say: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you. If someone slaps you on one cheek, turn to them the other also. If someone takes your coat, do not withhold your shirt from them. Give to everyone who asks you, and if anyone takes what belongs to you, do not demand it back. Do to others as you would have them do to you.
“If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners love those who love them. And if you do good to those who are good to you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners do that. And if you lend to those from whom you expect repayment, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners, expecting to be repaid in full. But love your enemies, do good to them, and lend to them without expecting to get anything back. Then your reward will be great, and you will be children of the Most High, because he is kind to the ungrateful and wicked. Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful.
(NIV) 1 Peter 4: 7-8
The end of all things is near. Therefore be alert and of sober mind so that you may pray. Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.
8/9/15 Check It Out
There are many out there in this world who say they belong to my Kingdom. They also seek to heal and bear witness to the miracles being released from their ministries and organisations. They have a hunger to make money out of the people around them. They look good and sound good and yet they have nothing to do with me.
There is a Spiritual explosion happening amongst the spiritual seekers. These are hungry people who have their eyes fixed upon power and glory of self. They seek authority over their neighbours by allowing demonic spirits to guide them, and many will be fooled into believing these to be genuine Godly ministries. The enemy has his spies in our camp.
Check out every word you receive by the mouths of others, through THE Holy Spirit. Take everything back to the Living Word of God and test it against scripture. Seek confirmations from respected members of your church and prophetic communities. If it is uplifting and filled with treasure, then it has come from me.
(NIV) 1 John 4: 1-6
Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world. This is how you can recognize the Spirit of God: Every spirit that acknowledges that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, but every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming and even now is already in the world.
You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world. They are from the world and therefore speak from the viewpoint of the world, and the world listens to them. We are from God, and whoever knows God listens to us; but whoever is not from God does not listen to us. This is how we recognize the Spirit of truth and the spirit of falsehood.
(NIV) James 1: 12-13
Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because, having stood the test, that person will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love him.
When tempted, no one should say, “God is tempting me.” For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does he tempt anyone;
7/9/15 Perfect Comfort
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) 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.

4/9/15 Family Growth
My beautiful Bride, we are moving into a season of quickened growth within the structure and fabric of the church. There are many new babies about to be birthed.
My church has been going through the pangs of child birth and the time has now come. The water of refreshing has broken, and is now flowing over, and through the living church. Are your nurseries ready for the feeding of the fresh milk to the babes in Christ?
Open your hearts and homes, they will come in all shapes and sizes, their crying may even become a distraction to you, tiredness will try to steal your laughter, but know that I have prepared you for all that you need and require, to love them unconditionally.
When they are made ready and eating their fill of prime steak, you my beloved, will watch the leaders of the future step out with confidence.
(NIV) 1 Peter 1: 3-4
Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade. This inheritance is kept in heaven for you,
(NIV) 1 Corinthians 13: 4-5
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.
(NIV) Hebrews 5: 13-14
Anyone who lives on milk, being still an infant, is not acquainted with the teaching about righteousness. But solid food is for the mature, who by constant use have trained themselves to distinguish good from evil.
3/9/15 Unity, a sign of Love
When the storm clouds begin to encircle your life, it can be difficult in the howling wind and rain to set your focus upon kingdom peace.
This is the time for unity within my family, hold one another, embrace and pour in my love, sing sweet songs of victory together. Uplift the arms of the weary warrior until they are strong enough to rise triumphant, in their battle with the powers and principalities.
The enemy is like a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour, and yet, when we stand in unity back to back, shoulder to shoulder, there is no place for this vile creature to sneak upon the elect, for our light of unity floods the deepest darkness.
Love conquers All!
(NIV) Ephesians 4: 1-6
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.
(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 dishonor 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.
2/9/15 Stirring again
Beloved, I am stirring again the waters of life. It is time to jump in quickly and without hesitation. I am waiting to catch you and take you on the journey of your life. You will love all the ups and downs, as I move you from place to place. You will run and jump, with such enthusiasm and joy, as I reveal more and more of myself to you. You will be like young calves frolicking in the fields as those let loose from the stalls. No longer held by the fear of man, no longer yielding to the giant of intimidation, no longer being held by the strong man of religion, but ruling and reigning with me, from a place of freedom and delight. All ties to the things of this world will be burned away by the light of my love.
See I am stirring the waters, jump in, jump in!
(NIV) Malachi 4:1-3
“Surely the day is coming; it will burn like a furnace. All the arrogant and every evildoer will be stubble, and the day that is coming will set them on fire,” says the LORD Almighty. “Not a root or a branch will be left to them. But for you who revere my name, the sun of righteousness will rise with healing in its rays. And you will go out and frolic like well-fed calves. Then you will trample on the wicked; they will be ashes under the soles of your feet on the day when I act,” says the LORD Almighty.
(NIV) John 5:4
From time to time an angel of the Lord would come down and stir up the waters. The first one into the pool after each such disturbance would be cured of whatever disease they had.
1/9/15 Even when your heart breaks
Beloved, even when your heart breaks and everything around you falls away. Worship Him whom your soul loves, adore Him with all your heart. When betrayal comes, hold Him closer than ever before. For out of that place of brokenness, you will arise. All that seems in ruins just now, will be swept away by His love, grace and mercy. From the ashes, such beauty will be seen. The one who once stood in rags, downtrodden and alone, will be clothed in such royal finery, that everyone will see and marvel that such a person could come forth. Only by His love, only because He saw the beauty within, when others saw such wretchedness. Behold His face and know that no matter who rejects, despises and belittles you, YOU ARE HIS for eternity.
(NIV) Psalm 27:10
Though my father and mother forsake me,
the LORD will receive me.
(NIV) Deuteronomy 31:8
The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged.
(NIV) 2 Corinthians 4:7
But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us.
