APRIL
Listen to My Spirit. Do not neglect My Spirit for He is talking to you each and every day and saying this is the way walk ye in it and He is highlighting to you where I am working. Follow and listen to My Spirit.
Be not afraid. Do not let your hearts be troubled in this hour but be encouraged that those who look to Me, their faces are radiant; their faces are never ashamed. Keep your eyes on the Son for He is the demonstration of My love for you.
Lift your eyes to Heaven, says the Lord. Lift your eyes to Heaven from whence comes your help. Surely there is no strength in the Earth. Surely there is no strength in the things of man but it is in Me; it is in My Spirit, it is in My Word that there is strength. In My Word there is power; in My Word there is might, so lift your eyes to heaven where your strength comes from. Set your eyes upon Me, says the Lord. Surely I have a calling for My church in this hour. I have a calling for My people for this hour - there is a generation that needs to be saved - a generation that needs to have a revelation of Jesus Christ, My Son and I am calling you to this holy purpose that you would be a revelation of My Son; that you would be a revelation of My Word, of My mercy, of My grace in the Earth. So lift your eyes to heaven, says the Lord. Do not look at your frailties. Do not look at the circumstances or even your ability, says the Lord but surely look unto Me. My anointing, My purpose, My Word will carry you through says God because I have a holy purpose for My people and I would have you to step into it. So set your eyes upon Me, not on the things of the Earth. Focus on what I’m saying says the Lord and surely I will bring you into new pastures; I will bring you into new purpose; I will bring you into new anointing says God and new capacity - but it will be found in the prayer closet, says the Lord and it will be found in My Word so set yourself to seek Me and surely I will move in you in mighty ways, says God.
My people, harden not your hearts. Don’t let the root of bitterness grow in your heart. Don’t let the root of resentment grow in your hearts but at this time allow the anointing; allow the Holy Spirit to wash over you. That it might soften that which is hard; that it might bring light to that which is dark; that it might bring healing to that which is broken. Don’t allow the things of this world; don’t allow the emotions and the situations and the circumstances to harden that which I have placed within your heart. Don’t let those things harden and cause a wall to go up - something exterior that’s hard on the outside to go up - but allow those walls to come down. Allow My Spirit to soften your heart. Allow the bitterness to melt away. Allow the hurts to melt away and let My love rule, let My peace rule in your heart. Harden not your hearts at this time.
Be strong and courageous in the hour. Take up that which I have given thee. I would have thee not to step down but to step up even unto the things of Me that I have called upon thy lives. Thou dost know within thy heart that I have called thee to it but I would have thee this day to be obedient to Me. And know this, that as you are obedient to Me, I shall bless thee, sayeth the Lord. I shall bless thee and all I ask this day is for thee to take it up and be obedient to thy calling. For I shall show thee and I shall strengthen thee and I shall be at thy right hand sayeth God. I am in thee and I shall help thee. I shall strengthen thee in this hour, sayeth the Lord for it is My Spirit that does carry thee in this hour. My Spirit does lift up in this hour and it is my Spirit that does draw your heart even unto your holy calling.
MAY
There’s an urgency of one person here with a broken heart. He said the broken hearted one, I’m waiting for you, come forward and let Me give you life. Let Me give you life that you can breathe in. Let Me show you the light rather than the darkness. It’s the one with the broken heart, He says. Tell him I’m waiting for him, please step forward whoever you are, don’t be afraid; God is waiting for you. He wants to take you by the hand and He wants to lead you to a great, great, great life; a life of peace, a life filled with light and joy and love. Don’t be afraid. He can only do you good. Don’t be afraid to stand forward. Know that if you just follow Me I can make it better but you have to believe. Let Me take your hand today. Let Me lead you.
There’s a place where My people lose their first love and they go astray. Many of My people are looking to the left and the right, but that causes confusion. But I would ask of you to come and stand in Me right now and to know that I am the Great I Am, and that I am with you, that I will lead you, that I will guide you.
Here I am to lift you up, sayeth the Lord. Here I am, I’m with you sayeth the Lord, to lift up; to lift you back up as the enemy would come and bombard and try to pull down. I am with you and I am there to lift you up and I am the Power that does lift thee, sayeth God. I am your Power to lift you back up for I would lift up a standard even in this hour. I would lift up my banner over you which is love. I would lift you up even within your heart and even within your situations. I am with you, sayeth the Lord.
I am the Breaker that breaks down every wall. Let Me break every wall down. I am the Healer that rebuilds. Let Me heal every brokenness. I will rebuild you, I will rebuild you from the mess. I take something broken and turn it into something beautiful. I can take your life and turn into something beautiful.
God talks about how circumstances can change things in our walk and in our faith – limitations - how do you see God? Big or small? God requires us to walk up the mountain, survey the land and some people get halfway to the mountain and get tired or they give up. God is saying not to give up on faith and not to limit the things that He requires of you.
I will make a river, rivers in the wilderness, and I will make a river, rivers in the desert. All that is dry and all that is dead I will bring to life. I will make rivers in the valleys, rivers in the driest places. And I will bring to life the driest of hearts and I will bring to life the driest of minds and I will bring to life the deadest places. I will bring to life your deserts.
Search for Me in this place. Search for Me as you climb the mountain. Search for Me and behold Me. Because as you search for Me, no matter where you are, I will be found.
There can be instability in God’s people. And the reason why instability comes to His people is because there’s two-mindedness going on; there’s a double-minded man that’s unstable in all His ways. God hasn’t called us to be unstable in all our ways, He’s inviting us to be like the eagle saints, the ones that wait upon the Name of the Lord; they shall mount up on wings as eagles. And He requires decision. God doesn’t place limitations on us, but we place limitations on ourselves. We place the limitation. God is a limitless God: within the bounds of His will He is limitless. He can do all things! He just asks of us not to be double-minded in anything regarding Him. But know that He is a limitless God, because He only wants good for His people. And He wants His people to wait upon Him and He wants His people to soar with Him, to be above the fetters and chains that have actually been broken. They were broken at Calvary, they were broken at the resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ and we choose whether to be bound or not. It’s our choice because He’s already done it. We get to choose whether we’re gonna be constrained by the circumstances or whether we’re gonna make a decision, draw a line in the sand and say, “no more will I limit what God can do. No more will I limit what God can do through me if I’m willing and I come and sit at His feet, and just wait upon the Lord.” God doesn’t want a people that will limit, because He is a limitless God and He has much to show and much to do through His people that would just dare to jump off the bridge of indecision into Him and soar with Him and see what He will do. We cannot afford to be double-minded, to be two-minded in anything in the Lord. He’s asked us to set our face like flint like in the walls of Nehemiah; shoulder to shoulder; a weapon in our hand. He wants a people strong and mighty. He’s gonna have that people, He’s gonna have a people for His Name and He invites us to be that people. So, it’s our decision, don’t give up on God, don’t give up on God in the circumstances because things aren’t going the way we want them to go, don’t give up on God. Don’t you dare give up on God because He hasn’t given up on you!
JUNE
You’ve broken down every wall, You’ve broken every chain. Your greatness has healed the broken hearted, made the dead to live again. So we shake off the chains that try to hold us back. We rise out of the grave, new life we’ve found. You’ve broken every chain and the captives are made free in the power of Your Name.
God’s saying that if you pray, He’ll change that situation that’s really bad into something much easier. I’ve had this week an answer to prayer in that way; so the Lord says, He’s full of hope for you. He wants you to pray. Something that’s really bad, pray and He will give a better diagnosis.
God just showed me a picture of Job and He said, you know I’ve heard with the hearing of my ear but now my eyes see You. And I really love the fact that, now my eyes see You. We were in worship and I just thought about the captivity of Job: it was turned when he prayed for others. When he gave of himself; when he didn’t look at himself or his circumstance but he gave of himself and he prayed: that was when his captivity was turned. I don’t know about you but I want to see the Lord moving that we might be a people that might understand and know that the prison doors have been opened - Jesus accomplished it all! He accomplished it all at Calvary and in the resurrection and we can walk in that. We can walk in that in our own lives but we must pray. Pray for one another and see the captivities be broken in people’s lives. We’ve been hearing and we’ve been hearing and we’ve been hearing the prophetic word and the preaching that comes on the Sunday morning, but I want to see the evidence of God moving in His people, of a people arising, of a people taking hold of their destiny in Christ and they are more than a new creation they’ve been made more than a conqueror. Do you want to be there? Do you see yourselves as that, as that people? That we’re not bound by the things of the earth, that we are not in balls and chains? Jesus Christ broke every ball and chain. He broke every captivity and we don’t have to settle for it. We don’t have to settle for the mediocre. Don’t settle for the burden. Don’t settle for it but arise. Allow your eyes to arise like Job. Job came out of that hardship and God blessed him more abundantly for it. God blessed him but he prayed for others. God is an amazing God! He cares so much for His people and we need to be aware, we need to arise, open our eyes and constantly look to the Father. Keep our feet turned into the path of the Lord.
JULY
I want your undivided attention, says the Lord. We want our children to give us undivided attention: well, the Lord is asking, will you give Him your undivided attention? To worship Him, to sit at His feet, to listen to what He has to say? There are many pearls that He wants to give when you give Him your undivided attention. Will you sit still for just a minute, because there is a meeting God wants to have and a clearing of the clutter that He wants to do.
Praise Me when you feel you are sad. Love one another when you feel you have none to give. Come unto Me when you do not feel you can. Rejoice in your life when you feel it is sad. Lift your heart up to Me and I will fill you with the perfection of My love, of My joy or My peace, of My will. And you will overflow and the world shall fall away and your worries and troubles shall be washed away. Read My word, dwell upon it and it shall feed you. Come into My presence and it shall strengthen you. Stand upon the Rock and you shall be firm in the world. Come unto Me for My ways are not your ways.
I would have you to come learn off Me, says the Lord. Come learn of My ways, but know this, there is a correcting and there is an adjusting, but it is My peace that lives within that shall guide and help strengthen you in this time. For there is a righteousness to be developed but in this there is a peace also in knowing that God is for you and God is not against us. God is for us and there is a peace to know even in the correcting; knowing that God has got His hand upon you for good, that He’s causing many sons to come unto glory. For there is an adjusting even within you but know this it is for your good. Knowing that it is to keep you from danger and harm. For I am your protector and I love you. So therefore, let righteous kiss with peace in this hour. Let it agree together that the Lord is good and the Lord is great and the Lord has his best for you. He has the best of intentions and the best of love and the pouring out of love for you and the pouring out of His goodness in you. But there is coming a developed righteousness to be developed, that My peace may reign even within My people that you might know that truly you are and you shall be the sons of God.
God is good! God is good all the time and God is someone that we can trust and we can rely on because we don’t lean on our own understanding and our own way of doing things and our own way of seeing things but as we lean on His way, strength comes from His way. Hope comes from His way. Times of refreshing come from the presence of the Lord but what precedes that is the repenting: it’s the turning away from doing it our own way or doing it the way that we think and it’s doing life the way that God ordained it. That He be seated in the highest place, that He be seated here in our minds and out of that place flows authority and power of change. See God wants us to come into a place of rest: it’s the ceasing from our own way of doing things, because there is a rest to come. But there is a rest that is obtainable now. And you know we determine how we enter into that rest really by the way that we live and the way that we are. But there is a rest just as there is peace. God left His peace for us in this day that we could walk in peace forever. There is a rest that we can enter into and dwell in when we cease and we make the decision - God not my way but Your way, God, help me to make me Yours, make me a person of Your way, the living way, because God has a testimony that he wants to declare in the earth and it’s a testimony of thou mighty Christ, Christ in us the hope of glory. God is good all the time but it’s us that forgets. We muddle along in our own lives and we lean upon our own thoughts, but God wants to strip that away that He might reign, that He might have power and authority through a people, not of anything of ourselves but everything of surrender. God not my way, Your way, I can’t do a jolly thing but You can do all things. So we serve an amazing God who is worthy of all praise, who is worthy of all honour, who is worthy of all glory. He’s worthy to be praised. The Bible says, put on the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness. When you’re feeling heavy, open your mouth and declare the praises of God, open your mouth and begin to thank God for His life. Begin to thank God for who He is, for where He’s brought you from, begin to thank God. His word doesn’t lie. He is not a liar, He is Truth. And He desires that we be a people of truth: truth in the inward parts that His grace might abound, his influence might abound in His people. As His influence abounds in us, people can’t help but see. You can’t help but be a testimony when God’s influencing your life. When God’s influencing you, you can’t help but be a testimony of truth in the earth and that’s what God wants, let grace abound. Let the influence of God abound in our hearts and within our lives that we might be an influence in the earth. Amen.
Revival means change, change from the inner parts, change, letting go of the things of old, moving on in me, moving on in me. Are you ready for that change? Do you desire that? The latter rain is beginning to fall. Listen for it. It’s beginning to fall! It is going to turn into a torrent and the torrent will flow and will move obstacles in its path and it will bring life and hope and growth in me to this barren, parched land around us. Are you prepared to change? Are you prepared for revival? My heart’s desire is to bring it for you.
The Lord says that when you go away to Continuum, the Spirit that you carry when you come back from that place, are to be brought back into this house and not to disappear after months and months. It takes commitment to stick with the Lord at this time and He wants you to have that stickability. He will give you that stickability to stay with him when you get back no matter what the enemy throws at you there will be someone here to help you through that if he starts playing with your mind.
Turn away from the things that you would normally use to pick your life up, for I am your life, without me you would have nothing so turn to me and give praise for whatever happens.
Do not fear. Even though the earth be removed and the mountains be carried into the midst of the seas, waters roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with swelling, there is a river whose streams make the land the city of God, the holy place of the tabernacle of the Most High. God is in the midst of her and she shall not be moved, God shall help her, just at the break of dawn. The nations raged, the kingdoms were moved, He uttered his voice and the earth melted. The earth melted, the Lord of hosts is with us, the God of Jacob is our refuge, so come and behold the works of the Lord.
I will lift you up. I will put your feet once more upon the rock. You are my child and you are precious to me. You shall know my joy as you have never known before.
If you will come and if you will praise and worship, then He will pour out His gifts upon us. What it requires is something of us, to give praise and worship will require something of us. It doesn’t matter if you’re not a singer, it really doesn’t matter, it’s the attitude of the heart. As we give to the Lord then He will. God’s word is full of the if’s and the then’s. If you will, then I will! He’s seeking a response from us church, otherwise he wouldn’t say it. But He wants us to worship Him. He wants us to praise. He wants us to give of ourselves. To allow those barriers to be broken down. You think “I just don’t like the sound of my own voice, so I just don’t do that, that’s not me, I’ll leave that to somebody else.” No, God’s saying to you, if you’re in the room and you heard that, God’s saying it to you. Our voice has power, the things that we speak, they have power. It is procreative life. We create life through the power of the tongue, even as God commanded in the garden of Eden, even as he said “Let there be Light” and there was light. We have the power in our words! So what are we going to say? What are we going to say to the Lord? What do you want to say to the Lord? Are you thankful for the life He has given you? Are you thankful that you have been born again? Are you thankful for the baptism of the Holy Spirit? Are you thankful that He is there, that He will never leave you nor forsake you?
I have given you everything you need to fight, to stand, to wage against war. I have given you your strength. I have given you your shield and your sword. Stand up! Stand up and gather up yourselves, stand and pick up your shield and sword and prepare to fight. Fight and break the chains that bind you. For I have gathered you and I have called my army again and again and I have equipped you with what you need in this hour so stand and fight. Pick up your sword, pick up your shield my child and stand and prepare yourself!
AUGUST
Mine the riches of My Word for they are not dead letters on a page: they are living and they are active and if you mine the riches of My Word, you will be transformed, you will bear fruit, you will be transformed into the image of my Son. You will be a light in this place. You will be a light in this city; and the darkness cannot overcome the light. Mine the riches of My Word, My people.
Rise up! Rise up and take in your triumph! Take in the triumph of the Lord who dwells within you. Rise up and overcome, for who can stop the Lord? For He is risen. He is alive and He lives through all of us and no-one can stop us when we take Him. We take Him with us when we rise up and no one can cast us down for we are mighty in the Lord, our God.
I had several pictures: the first was a dry stone wall. Have you ever seen a dry stone wall being built? The person that’s building it takes care and he fits and he chops bits off: every block fits together in its place. The Lord would say to you: You fit in this place, you are important to Me, you belong in this place, you are Mine. And the second picture was of the walls of this church being built up and there were gaps in the walls, there were bits where pieces were missing and I asked the Lord about this; and it was some people struggling with what’s been said over them over time and they’ve been held back by negative words that have been spoken over them. And the Lord said; that He wants to minister to you and relieve that burden from you, grab a brother and sister in the Lord and pray about it, bring it to the cross and leave it there, because He wants you to walk on in victory and take up your place in the Body. The third picture and there was a word with it too, that the Lord has given you the land where your feet tread. This is talking about your heart and your mind. Go in and slay the giants. So what are your giants this morning? Maybe it’s fear, maybe it’s something else. The Lord has not given you a spirit of fear, but of love, power and a sound mind so you can chose to kill those giants. Take up the Word of God and kill those giants this morning. Don’t wall them up and forget about them because they can begin to whisper, they will whisper negative words to you. Take down the walls, bring them to the light and kill them.
Just as children trust their parents, sometimes when we get lost we think what’s going on. We’re not defined by what we do or where we are. Our identity is in Christ, it’s where He is, right at the right hand of the Father, being with us and watching over us. That’s our identity.
Lift your eyes, says the Lord. Lift your eyes because I have sown seeds and I am looking for my Church: for their hearts to lift their eyes in expectation. Those seeds that have been planted, I shall water those: those seeds that are within all of you. The Words that I have spoken, but I want to see your heads looking up to Me, to fulfil those things, to water those things, to grow those things. Look up, look up because the seed is there and I have put it there and I know what is within each one of you and I shall come and I shall water and I shall fulfil and I shall grow the thing that is within you that I have placed there for the glory of My Kingdom, says the Lord. I am faithful. The Word that goes out it shall do its job and I shall water it. Look, look to me and expect.
SEPTEMBER:
I’ve been given two things today: this morning earlier I was given a vision of mist. You know when you see the mist rise and you see the light come through? God was saying that we seem to be in a misty place at the moment. But if we just walk His way and keep pressing in and believing and honouring what we come here for on a Sunday; if we speak to our Lord everyday like He is the only person that we need to speak to - first thing in the morning - ; and He says if you just keep pressing in, the mist will rise and the light will shine through! But at the moment, it’s like we’re stuck a little bit. When we’re sitting here, He’s saying there’s too much distraction, there’s too much distraction. So people, clear your mind to God, clear your mind so that you can think about Him. Clear your mind so that only He is present in your mind. Give Him that time each day, that’s all He’s asking, just a little bit of time everyday and remember you come here for a reason. Live that reason everyday of your life and don’t be afraid to let others know what you’re doing, because when He’s allowed and the light shines from Him, they’re gonna ask you why do you shine like that, you know, and you’re gonna be able to pull them in, you know, and you’re gonna be able to tell other people where it’s coming from. So people please, let’s all get out of the mist, let’s all get out of the mist and let that light shine through.
Concerning the woman with the issue of blood: I saw her continue on in power because even though God had given her enough, she knew God was the God of more! She knew that she had to continue on with things, not just sit on the victory that she had been given, but to continue on and keep growing and growing that relationship with the Lord. And I believe that’s what the Lord wants you to know. The Lord doesn’t want us to just sit on that victory - she had more than enough; she’d been delivered from this thing that she had limited her for twelve years and she didn’t have to continue on but she did. I saw her continue on in power because she knew God was the God of more than enough.
Sometimes you might look and see nothing’s happening but when you turn back, you realise that God was in this.
It’s only You that makes us free: free to love You, free to offer all to You. It’s Your Word Lord, it’s Your Spirit that makes us free. You believe in us and we believe in You. What does His Word say? His Word says we’re loved, we’re accepted in the brethren, we are loved in His sight and it’s by His love He draws us, by His goodness He draws us to Himself. And when we are unfaithful, He is still faithful. It’s something I want to draw closer to because He’s not gonna hit us over the head with a four by two, or whack us around, but it’s His love the that draws us closer to Him, His love, His faithfulness to us. Even when we’re unfaithful, He is still just; He is still faithful. He still thinks upon us. He still loves us. If only we’d believe. Just believe He loves you. It’s His goodness that causes us to turn and to change. It’s His goodness, the goodness and the mercy of God that causes us to want to live rightly by Him, because we want to please Him, not because we have to, because we willingly want to give and do His will. We want to please Him. We want to walk closer to Him, we want to live in Him. You shall live, you shall not die. As you walk through the valley, and as you walk through the situations, you shall not die but you shall live in me, says the Lord. And therefore, hang onto my Word. I shall speak to you even clearly, says the Lord, and I shall give you direction. I shall give you a hope even above the situation, that you may even hang onto Me, that you may action that word. That you may walk highly, even upon the mountaintop, says the Lord. For I have caused you to be a mountaintop people, says the Lord, that would walk the walk and talk the talk. For I am with you. I am with you even in your situation, says the Lord.
The life I have for you, the power and the strength I have for you. The fetters stand open. Stand up. Wise up. Walk in newness of life in Me and you will be a light to this nation; you’ll be a light to this world. You will draw many into My Kingdom. Rise up, rise up My people! The fetters stand open. Shake them off. I love you, My people and I have a plan for you, My precious people. Rise up!
Walk in those words that have been prayed over them, claim the victory of the saints, edify the words of those saints that have prayed into your lives. Work in those victories, claim them with the Lord through you and in you.
There’s an anointing on the Youth this morning. God has a desire for His young people of this church to step forth and minister to God. Sometimes we need to have a hungry heart and God is talking about His young people about fulfilling the things He has put into you by your leadership. God has a word spoken over you that He wants to go out and create a ministry for you and the people in this church so that God can fulfil the miracles and the ministries that He has desired for you. God wants to fill this church up with young people. He’s calling young people out. God desires His young people to step out in the church and to have a hunger for Him because God does not want young people standing in chairs or standing in one place doing nothing. God’s desire is for young people right now. He’s challenging the hearts of the young people in this church because He has a hunger for you, He has a desire for you. God loves you young people and you need to know that. If the world does not love you then Jesus does. You young people need to know that you are the next generation that’s gonna come out and you need to understand that because God’s word is spoken over you. If you’re struggling in God, then go and talk to the leadership and this means everybody in this church. If you feel you’re not saved by God then come and see the leadership. His desire for His people is to reach out to Him and just love God and His desire is for young people.
I shall not lack. The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not lack for He does supply out of His abundance so I need not be afraid. I need not be afraid for the Lord is my Shepherd. And I shall not lack, I shall not want for You supply every need out of Your abundance, gracious Lord, great God. You are worthy! I lay aside all fear and confusion and I trust in Your love. And I trust in Your light. And I trust in Your strength. And I trust in Your Word. For You are my God and my hope is found in You. Oh Shepherd of my soul, I worship You! Shepherd of my soul, I praise You!
Extend, extend, extend outwards to pray for others. You should not pray without faith. Extend, extend, extend your faith.
This is a new day, a new exciting day to open new doors. It is a day to go forward in the Lord. Open those doors my brothers and sisters and be excited,
For the world is in turmoil. The world is in fear. But My people, My true followers shall be filled with My peace, for did I not leave you My peace? For My people have laid their worries at My feet. They are vessels of peace and the peace shall flow out unto those that are in turmoil and they shall see My people and desire what is within them. So say unto My people in this hour: are you filled to overflowing with My peace? For My peace shall move mountains. The peace within you shall speak volumes, for this is an hour when My army shall walk true in the faith of their Lord and they shall lay down their worries and fears and they shall trust in Me.
For My love will never leave you, never forsake you. I am a God who loves you. One thing that shall remain is My faithfulness to you. One thing that shall remain is My heart towards you. One thing that shall remain is My goodness towards you. One thing that shall remain is My mercy. Come to Me. Come to Me and I shall show you. I’m always there for you. I am your God and I am your King. One thing that shall remain is My faithfulness so come to Me and I shall give you the rest that you need. Rest your mind. Rest your heart. Rest in knowing that I am for you.
I would have you lay down the things in the past, your worries and fears. Lay them at the foot of the cross where I paid the price for them and come up, come up higher for I have much for you, My people. Lay those burdens down for I have health and healing and wholeness for you. Lay them down. Don’t carry them round like a familiar jacket you wore. Lay them down. Take them off. Come up higher for I have much to show you, much for you to do and you’ll bring glory to My name and you will reflect the image of My Son. And there’ll be much fruit from this, much fruit.
You are my freedom fighters. I have already won the victory, and I have given you the victory but you need to fight. You need to fight for your victory. You need to fight that fight of faith. Fight for your freedom. Fight for other people’s freedom, that is what I’ve called you to do.
Come forward, focus on the light. Come forward to me. Take away those distractions, My people.
My people, you are My army that walks upon the earth. You are My warriors that speak words of wisdom. Your prayers move the very hand of God. For you are as the athletes of the earth. Those that are in training for my army must be in training in this hour for the dwelling of prayers and dwelling in the presence of the Lord, in the reading of the Word, in the coming together in praising Me. You are like the athletes in training. And I say unto My people in this hour, you shall not just win the race and get a gold medal but my people shall move the very hand of God. My people shall dominate and take the world as God has promised. My people shall be known by their fruits. My people shall be known by their words of wisdom, not as the athletes who have just won a gold, they shall be forgotten over time, but My people shall be raised up and they shall be winners of true victory on this earth.
I am raising an army that would rise at this hour, says the Lord. And even within yourself, I would arise within you to pull down the strongholds and to break free in a way that you have not known. Where there seems to be no life, I bring life. Therefore rely upon me, rely upon my word, rely upon my sayings and what I will do within you. For I have come that I might bring life even into the dead places, even within your life. There is a spring, there is a well that makes glad the city of my God. There is a well that makes Him glad and it lives and abides within my people. Therefore, I would have you to draw down that I might bring up life within you that you might speak life to the dry bones that would be contrary to the way the carnal mind would think even at this time for I am causing my army to arise. I am causing my army to arise in this hour, I am causing my army to fight with divine power and with the sword of the Spirit. I am causing my people to cut asunder the enemies of your own mind. I am causing you to come forward and to break free for I have not set a people to be in bondage but I have set a people to come, to be free and to worship me that I might bring them into a land that would enlarge them and bring them into bountiful blessings. For I would speak to your heart at this time, that I might bring forth fruit even within your life.
Come closer to me and I will wait just as patiently for that second step. Like an infant, those first steps will lead to running.
God has not forgotten you. It is time to soften the heart from the world to God. God loves each one of you. God wants to put you aside the things of the world. God wants to spend time with each one of you. He speaks the word of wisdom and He speaks the word of kindness and His Spirit hovers over the earth as He says in Genesis 1 about the Spirit hovering all over the world. He made all things. And so what God is saying is that He has your life in His hands, so soften your heart. Some people are saying this morning, I am not worthy, I am not worthy. But God would even say, Yes, you are worthy of Me, you are worthy of Me. If you’d just come to church every second week or just come back; God loves you and He’s going to keep saying that to you. He’s going to keep saying that to your mind. He’s going to keep saying that to your heart.
There’s so many invited to the wedding feast that I have bid. Many have said that I’m too busy, I cannot come. Well I will say to you today that there’s many that have come in here, all you young ones, you new ones, you men that struggle, the Lord would say, even you young girls, the Lord would say, you’ve come to the wedding feast. He said, just keep coming and see what I would do, because each and every one of you, I know the hairs on your head, He said, I know the number of them. I know the number of your days. I know your ending even. My thoughts for you are for good and He would say, keep coming and see what I would do in this place. Keep coming! Keep coming! I am the God, I am El Shaddai, I am the God your provider! Come and see what I will give unto you. God’s just saying that to everyone of you in this church. He said, you’ve come, you’ve come, so keep coming, know and see what I will do for you.
OCTOBER
For I will stir praise in My people. I will stir up praise. Praise that will not be held back. Praise that cannot be restrained. It will not be civil and dignified. It will not be genteel. It will be loud and will roar like a lion. It will shout. It will have all the strength of a tempest and the strongest of waves. It will not be still; it will not be silent. It will not be quiet and cast down, but it will shout from the mountaintops. It will roar! The praises of My people I would have to be a shout this day. The praises of My people I would have to be a roar this day. Stir yourselves to praise. Stir yourselves to praise. Let praise arise in My people. Let praise arise. Let all creation and the works of My hands praise My Name. Shout with praise! Roar with praise! Hold not back, hold not back! But let your praise roar from your hearts. Let it roar from your lives. Let it roar from your mouths. I will stir up praise within My people. The sound of a roar shall be heard within My people. Let the praise arise.
Even my water, even My Word would cover you, says God. And I would cause My Word and My Spirit to arise in this hour even within your life and within your heart. That there might even be the praise, the power of heaven, arise within you, that might overwhelm the sea, which are the things that of the world. Surely I am building My people, a mighty people, a people of battle, a people that would arise in this hour, that would arise in praise, that would arise to praise. That would look unto Me, not unto the situations in the earth, but would look unto Me and trust in Me. And I would cause the waters to overwhelm you. I would cause My Word to overwhelm you and My Spirit to lift you to bring praise to My name that I might be glorified in the earth. For surely I am for you, and My plans, My purposes are for your good. So therefore start to praise Me. Start to thank Me. Start to be a thankful people. Start to praise Me and know this, that My waters shall overwhelm you and My waters shall gush forth from your heart, says the Lord, and My Spirit shall arise even within you.
Your burdens, put it onto Me and it will grow stronger no more. Put it onto Me, for it is your portion and I will deliver you. Put it onto Me and be saved. Be saved, My people. For your portion isn’t a portion of sadness; it’s a portion of greatness.
Come and lay down your burden at My cross. Come and lay the burden down and then when you walk away and you begin to take it again, come and lay it down. As you begin to pick it up again tomorrow, lay it down again, says the Lord. Because there will come a day when you will lay it down and it will be gone. It will stay down for I would have My people to come to Me, to surrender to Me, to put off those things and lay them down at My cross, at My feet. For I am well-able, says the Lord. I can do all things and I want to move through a people but I can’t move through a people that are full of their baggage and I would say unto you, remove your baggage. Lay it down at My feet and when it tries to come back, lay it down at My feet. For I would have you to soar in this hour, I would have My people to soar and not be chained to the ground and chained to the earth and chained to the things of the past and chained to the things of guilt and chained to the things of hopelessness, says the Lord. But I would have a people that would know who they are in Me, that they could lay it all down. And I would give them, I would exchange for them their death; I would exchange those things for life, says the Lord. So lay them down at My feet and don’t take them up again. Leave them down and leave them surrendered that you might soar as eagle saints, says the Lord.
We have His Holy Spirit here within us. It binds us together and makes us one. We have hope, joy, faith and love, we have hope, joy, faith and love. There’s no way we can thank You enough for Your hope, joy, faith and love. Through Christ, God has fully claimed us and redeemed us, taken all our sin; we’re white as snow. We will live with Him forever. He’ll leave us now but we have His promise that’s how we know. We live by hope, joy, faith and love, hope, joy, faith and love. There’s no way we can thank Him enough for his hope, joy, faith and love. Hope in the gospel and what we believe. Joy in our hearts for what He’s achieved. Faith to accept His truth unseen and love is the greatest of all things. So lift your voice now. Let’s praise Him! Let’s give Him glory. Let’s raise our hands to praise Him. He is our Lord and Saviour, He is our King and Master, the Son of God and we proclaim His Name.
Fear not, My people, but just walk on in me. Have no fear, for I’ve not made fear a stumbling block in your way. I haven’t made that but I’ve made you to overcome that.
I see a picture of a mountain and at the top of the mountain there’s like a void, a deep, deep void at the top of the mountain that’s full of water, an endless supply of water and I believe that the Lord, that the base of the mountain is a real desert place. And I see that at the top of the void where the water is there’s a rock to stop the water from flowing but I see the Lord’s removing that rock and there’s a stream, there’s a river that’s gonna flow down from the mountain into that desert place and everywhere that river touches in the desert brings life. And I believe the Lord’s wanting to say to us that we need to plant ourselves by the water, we need to plant ourselves by that river to refresh, to revive, to bring life to our lives. Because there are barren times in our lives and in our walks; there are times when we feel that the Lord is far from us but that is not the truth. The Lord is there and is near.
Listen to My Spirit. Do not neglect My Spirit for He is talking to you each and every day and saying this is the way walk ye in it and He is highlighting to you where I am working. Follow and listen to My Spirit.
Be not afraid. Do not let your hearts be troubled in this hour but be encouraged that those who look to Me, their faces are radiant; their faces are never ashamed. Keep your eyes on the Son for He is the demonstration of My love for you.
Lift your eyes to Heaven, says the Lord. Lift your eyes to Heaven from whence comes your help. Surely there is no strength in the Earth. Surely there is no strength in the things of man but it is in Me; it is in My Spirit, it is in My Word that there is strength. In My Word there is power; in My Word there is might, so lift your eyes to heaven where your strength comes from. Set your eyes upon Me, says the Lord. Surely I have a calling for My church in this hour. I have a calling for My people for this hour - there is a generation that needs to be saved - a generation that needs to have a revelation of Jesus Christ, My Son and I am calling you to this holy purpose that you would be a revelation of My Son; that you would be a revelation of My Word, of My mercy, of My grace in the Earth. So lift your eyes to heaven, says the Lord. Do not look at your frailties. Do not look at the circumstances or even your ability, says the Lord but surely look unto Me. My anointing, My purpose, My Word will carry you through says God because I have a holy purpose for My people and I would have you to step into it. So set your eyes upon Me, not on the things of the Earth. Focus on what I’m saying says the Lord and surely I will bring you into new pastures; I will bring you into new purpose; I will bring you into new anointing says God and new capacity - but it will be found in the prayer closet, says the Lord and it will be found in My Word so set yourself to seek Me and surely I will move in you in mighty ways, says God.
My people, harden not your hearts. Don’t let the root of bitterness grow in your heart. Don’t let the root of resentment grow in your hearts but at this time allow the anointing; allow the Holy Spirit to wash over you. That it might soften that which is hard; that it might bring light to that which is dark; that it might bring healing to that which is broken. Don’t allow the things of this world; don’t allow the emotions and the situations and the circumstances to harden that which I have placed within your heart. Don’t let those things harden and cause a wall to go up - something exterior that’s hard on the outside to go up - but allow those walls to come down. Allow My Spirit to soften your heart. Allow the bitterness to melt away. Allow the hurts to melt away and let My love rule, let My peace rule in your heart. Harden not your hearts at this time.
Be strong and courageous in the hour. Take up that which I have given thee. I would have thee not to step down but to step up even unto the things of Me that I have called upon thy lives. Thou dost know within thy heart that I have called thee to it but I would have thee this day to be obedient to Me. And know this, that as you are obedient to Me, I shall bless thee, sayeth the Lord. I shall bless thee and all I ask this day is for thee to take it up and be obedient to thy calling. For I shall show thee and I shall strengthen thee and I shall be at thy right hand sayeth God. I am in thee and I shall help thee. I shall strengthen thee in this hour, sayeth the Lord for it is My Spirit that does carry thee in this hour. My Spirit does lift up in this hour and it is my Spirit that does draw your heart even unto your holy calling.
MAY
There’s an urgency of one person here with a broken heart. He said the broken hearted one, I’m waiting for you, come forward and let Me give you life. Let Me give you life that you can breathe in. Let Me show you the light rather than the darkness. It’s the one with the broken heart, He says. Tell him I’m waiting for him, please step forward whoever you are, don’t be afraid; God is waiting for you. He wants to take you by the hand and He wants to lead you to a great, great, great life; a life of peace, a life filled with light and joy and love. Don’t be afraid. He can only do you good. Don’t be afraid to stand forward. Know that if you just follow Me I can make it better but you have to believe. Let Me take your hand today. Let Me lead you.
There’s a place where My people lose their first love and they go astray. Many of My people are looking to the left and the right, but that causes confusion. But I would ask of you to come and stand in Me right now and to know that I am the Great I Am, and that I am with you, that I will lead you, that I will guide you.
Here I am to lift you up, sayeth the Lord. Here I am, I’m with you sayeth the Lord, to lift up; to lift you back up as the enemy would come and bombard and try to pull down. I am with you and I am there to lift you up and I am the Power that does lift thee, sayeth God. I am your Power to lift you back up for I would lift up a standard even in this hour. I would lift up my banner over you which is love. I would lift you up even within your heart and even within your situations. I am with you, sayeth the Lord.
I am the Breaker that breaks down every wall. Let Me break every wall down. I am the Healer that rebuilds. Let Me heal every brokenness. I will rebuild you, I will rebuild you from the mess. I take something broken and turn it into something beautiful. I can take your life and turn into something beautiful.
God talks about how circumstances can change things in our walk and in our faith – limitations - how do you see God? Big or small? God requires us to walk up the mountain, survey the land and some people get halfway to the mountain and get tired or they give up. God is saying not to give up on faith and not to limit the things that He requires of you.
I will make a river, rivers in the wilderness, and I will make a river, rivers in the desert. All that is dry and all that is dead I will bring to life. I will make rivers in the valleys, rivers in the driest places. And I will bring to life the driest of hearts and I will bring to life the driest of minds and I will bring to life the deadest places. I will bring to life your deserts.
Search for Me in this place. Search for Me as you climb the mountain. Search for Me and behold Me. Because as you search for Me, no matter where you are, I will be found.
There can be instability in God’s people. And the reason why instability comes to His people is because there’s two-mindedness going on; there’s a double-minded man that’s unstable in all His ways. God hasn’t called us to be unstable in all our ways, He’s inviting us to be like the eagle saints, the ones that wait upon the Name of the Lord; they shall mount up on wings as eagles. And He requires decision. God doesn’t place limitations on us, but we place limitations on ourselves. We place the limitation. God is a limitless God: within the bounds of His will He is limitless. He can do all things! He just asks of us not to be double-minded in anything regarding Him. But know that He is a limitless God, because He only wants good for His people. And He wants His people to wait upon Him and He wants His people to soar with Him, to be above the fetters and chains that have actually been broken. They were broken at Calvary, they were broken at the resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ and we choose whether to be bound or not. It’s our choice because He’s already done it. We get to choose whether we’re gonna be constrained by the circumstances or whether we’re gonna make a decision, draw a line in the sand and say, “no more will I limit what God can do. No more will I limit what God can do through me if I’m willing and I come and sit at His feet, and just wait upon the Lord.” God doesn’t want a people that will limit, because He is a limitless God and He has much to show and much to do through His people that would just dare to jump off the bridge of indecision into Him and soar with Him and see what He will do. We cannot afford to be double-minded, to be two-minded in anything in the Lord. He’s asked us to set our face like flint like in the walls of Nehemiah; shoulder to shoulder; a weapon in our hand. He wants a people strong and mighty. He’s gonna have that people, He’s gonna have a people for His Name and He invites us to be that people. So, it’s our decision, don’t give up on God, don’t give up on God in the circumstances because things aren’t going the way we want them to go, don’t give up on God. Don’t you dare give up on God because He hasn’t given up on you!
JUNE
You’ve broken down every wall, You’ve broken every chain. Your greatness has healed the broken hearted, made the dead to live again. So we shake off the chains that try to hold us back. We rise out of the grave, new life we’ve found. You’ve broken every chain and the captives are made free in the power of Your Name.
God’s saying that if you pray, He’ll change that situation that’s really bad into something much easier. I’ve had this week an answer to prayer in that way; so the Lord says, He’s full of hope for you. He wants you to pray. Something that’s really bad, pray and He will give a better diagnosis.
God just showed me a picture of Job and He said, you know I’ve heard with the hearing of my ear but now my eyes see You. And I really love the fact that, now my eyes see You. We were in worship and I just thought about the captivity of Job: it was turned when he prayed for others. When he gave of himself; when he didn’t look at himself or his circumstance but he gave of himself and he prayed: that was when his captivity was turned. I don’t know about you but I want to see the Lord moving that we might be a people that might understand and know that the prison doors have been opened - Jesus accomplished it all! He accomplished it all at Calvary and in the resurrection and we can walk in that. We can walk in that in our own lives but we must pray. Pray for one another and see the captivities be broken in people’s lives. We’ve been hearing and we’ve been hearing and we’ve been hearing the prophetic word and the preaching that comes on the Sunday morning, but I want to see the evidence of God moving in His people, of a people arising, of a people taking hold of their destiny in Christ and they are more than a new creation they’ve been made more than a conqueror. Do you want to be there? Do you see yourselves as that, as that people? That we’re not bound by the things of the earth, that we are not in balls and chains? Jesus Christ broke every ball and chain. He broke every captivity and we don’t have to settle for it. We don’t have to settle for the mediocre. Don’t settle for the burden. Don’t settle for it but arise. Allow your eyes to arise like Job. Job came out of that hardship and God blessed him more abundantly for it. God blessed him but he prayed for others. God is an amazing God! He cares so much for His people and we need to be aware, we need to arise, open our eyes and constantly look to the Father. Keep our feet turned into the path of the Lord.
JULY
I want your undivided attention, says the Lord. We want our children to give us undivided attention: well, the Lord is asking, will you give Him your undivided attention? To worship Him, to sit at His feet, to listen to what He has to say? There are many pearls that He wants to give when you give Him your undivided attention. Will you sit still for just a minute, because there is a meeting God wants to have and a clearing of the clutter that He wants to do.
Praise Me when you feel you are sad. Love one another when you feel you have none to give. Come unto Me when you do not feel you can. Rejoice in your life when you feel it is sad. Lift your heart up to Me and I will fill you with the perfection of My love, of My joy or My peace, of My will. And you will overflow and the world shall fall away and your worries and troubles shall be washed away. Read My word, dwell upon it and it shall feed you. Come into My presence and it shall strengthen you. Stand upon the Rock and you shall be firm in the world. Come unto Me for My ways are not your ways.
I would have you to come learn off Me, says the Lord. Come learn of My ways, but know this, there is a correcting and there is an adjusting, but it is My peace that lives within that shall guide and help strengthen you in this time. For there is a righteousness to be developed but in this there is a peace also in knowing that God is for you and God is not against us. God is for us and there is a peace to know even in the correcting; knowing that God has got His hand upon you for good, that He’s causing many sons to come unto glory. For there is an adjusting even within you but know this it is for your good. Knowing that it is to keep you from danger and harm. For I am your protector and I love you. So therefore, let righteous kiss with peace in this hour. Let it agree together that the Lord is good and the Lord is great and the Lord has his best for you. He has the best of intentions and the best of love and the pouring out of love for you and the pouring out of His goodness in you. But there is coming a developed righteousness to be developed, that My peace may reign even within My people that you might know that truly you are and you shall be the sons of God.
God is good! God is good all the time and God is someone that we can trust and we can rely on because we don’t lean on our own understanding and our own way of doing things and our own way of seeing things but as we lean on His way, strength comes from His way. Hope comes from His way. Times of refreshing come from the presence of the Lord but what precedes that is the repenting: it’s the turning away from doing it our own way or doing it the way that we think and it’s doing life the way that God ordained it. That He be seated in the highest place, that He be seated here in our minds and out of that place flows authority and power of change. See God wants us to come into a place of rest: it’s the ceasing from our own way of doing things, because there is a rest to come. But there is a rest that is obtainable now. And you know we determine how we enter into that rest really by the way that we live and the way that we are. But there is a rest just as there is peace. God left His peace for us in this day that we could walk in peace forever. There is a rest that we can enter into and dwell in when we cease and we make the decision - God not my way but Your way, God, help me to make me Yours, make me a person of Your way, the living way, because God has a testimony that he wants to declare in the earth and it’s a testimony of thou mighty Christ, Christ in us the hope of glory. God is good all the time but it’s us that forgets. We muddle along in our own lives and we lean upon our own thoughts, but God wants to strip that away that He might reign, that He might have power and authority through a people, not of anything of ourselves but everything of surrender. God not my way, Your way, I can’t do a jolly thing but You can do all things. So we serve an amazing God who is worthy of all praise, who is worthy of all honour, who is worthy of all glory. He’s worthy to be praised. The Bible says, put on the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness. When you’re feeling heavy, open your mouth and declare the praises of God, open your mouth and begin to thank God for His life. Begin to thank God for who He is, for where He’s brought you from, begin to thank God. His word doesn’t lie. He is not a liar, He is Truth. And He desires that we be a people of truth: truth in the inward parts that His grace might abound, his influence might abound in His people. As His influence abounds in us, people can’t help but see. You can’t help but be a testimony when God’s influencing your life. When God’s influencing you, you can’t help but be a testimony of truth in the earth and that’s what God wants, let grace abound. Let the influence of God abound in our hearts and within our lives that we might be an influence in the earth. Amen.
Revival means change, change from the inner parts, change, letting go of the things of old, moving on in me, moving on in me. Are you ready for that change? Do you desire that? The latter rain is beginning to fall. Listen for it. It’s beginning to fall! It is going to turn into a torrent and the torrent will flow and will move obstacles in its path and it will bring life and hope and growth in me to this barren, parched land around us. Are you prepared to change? Are you prepared for revival? My heart’s desire is to bring it for you.
The Lord says that when you go away to Continuum, the Spirit that you carry when you come back from that place, are to be brought back into this house and not to disappear after months and months. It takes commitment to stick with the Lord at this time and He wants you to have that stickability. He will give you that stickability to stay with him when you get back no matter what the enemy throws at you there will be someone here to help you through that if he starts playing with your mind.
Turn away from the things that you would normally use to pick your life up, for I am your life, without me you would have nothing so turn to me and give praise for whatever happens.
Do not fear. Even though the earth be removed and the mountains be carried into the midst of the seas, waters roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with swelling, there is a river whose streams make the land the city of God, the holy place of the tabernacle of the Most High. God is in the midst of her and she shall not be moved, God shall help her, just at the break of dawn. The nations raged, the kingdoms were moved, He uttered his voice and the earth melted. The earth melted, the Lord of hosts is with us, the God of Jacob is our refuge, so come and behold the works of the Lord.
I will lift you up. I will put your feet once more upon the rock. You are my child and you are precious to me. You shall know my joy as you have never known before.
If you will come and if you will praise and worship, then He will pour out His gifts upon us. What it requires is something of us, to give praise and worship will require something of us. It doesn’t matter if you’re not a singer, it really doesn’t matter, it’s the attitude of the heart. As we give to the Lord then He will. God’s word is full of the if’s and the then’s. If you will, then I will! He’s seeking a response from us church, otherwise he wouldn’t say it. But He wants us to worship Him. He wants us to praise. He wants us to give of ourselves. To allow those barriers to be broken down. You think “I just don’t like the sound of my own voice, so I just don’t do that, that’s not me, I’ll leave that to somebody else.” No, God’s saying to you, if you’re in the room and you heard that, God’s saying it to you. Our voice has power, the things that we speak, they have power. It is procreative life. We create life through the power of the tongue, even as God commanded in the garden of Eden, even as he said “Let there be Light” and there was light. We have the power in our words! So what are we going to say? What are we going to say to the Lord? What do you want to say to the Lord? Are you thankful for the life He has given you? Are you thankful that you have been born again? Are you thankful for the baptism of the Holy Spirit? Are you thankful that He is there, that He will never leave you nor forsake you?
I have given you everything you need to fight, to stand, to wage against war. I have given you your strength. I have given you your shield and your sword. Stand up! Stand up and gather up yourselves, stand and pick up your shield and sword and prepare to fight. Fight and break the chains that bind you. For I have gathered you and I have called my army again and again and I have equipped you with what you need in this hour so stand and fight. Pick up your sword, pick up your shield my child and stand and prepare yourself!
AUGUST
Mine the riches of My Word for they are not dead letters on a page: they are living and they are active and if you mine the riches of My Word, you will be transformed, you will bear fruit, you will be transformed into the image of my Son. You will be a light in this place. You will be a light in this city; and the darkness cannot overcome the light. Mine the riches of My Word, My people.
Rise up! Rise up and take in your triumph! Take in the triumph of the Lord who dwells within you. Rise up and overcome, for who can stop the Lord? For He is risen. He is alive and He lives through all of us and no-one can stop us when we take Him. We take Him with us when we rise up and no one can cast us down for we are mighty in the Lord, our God.
I had several pictures: the first was a dry stone wall. Have you ever seen a dry stone wall being built? The person that’s building it takes care and he fits and he chops bits off: every block fits together in its place. The Lord would say to you: You fit in this place, you are important to Me, you belong in this place, you are Mine. And the second picture was of the walls of this church being built up and there were gaps in the walls, there were bits where pieces were missing and I asked the Lord about this; and it was some people struggling with what’s been said over them over time and they’ve been held back by negative words that have been spoken over them. And the Lord said; that He wants to minister to you and relieve that burden from you, grab a brother and sister in the Lord and pray about it, bring it to the cross and leave it there, because He wants you to walk on in victory and take up your place in the Body. The third picture and there was a word with it too, that the Lord has given you the land where your feet tread. This is talking about your heart and your mind. Go in and slay the giants. So what are your giants this morning? Maybe it’s fear, maybe it’s something else. The Lord has not given you a spirit of fear, but of love, power and a sound mind so you can chose to kill those giants. Take up the Word of God and kill those giants this morning. Don’t wall them up and forget about them because they can begin to whisper, they will whisper negative words to you. Take down the walls, bring them to the light and kill them.
Just as children trust their parents, sometimes when we get lost we think what’s going on. We’re not defined by what we do or where we are. Our identity is in Christ, it’s where He is, right at the right hand of the Father, being with us and watching over us. That’s our identity.
Lift your eyes, says the Lord. Lift your eyes because I have sown seeds and I am looking for my Church: for their hearts to lift their eyes in expectation. Those seeds that have been planted, I shall water those: those seeds that are within all of you. The Words that I have spoken, but I want to see your heads looking up to Me, to fulfil those things, to water those things, to grow those things. Look up, look up because the seed is there and I have put it there and I know what is within each one of you and I shall come and I shall water and I shall fulfil and I shall grow the thing that is within you that I have placed there for the glory of My Kingdom, says the Lord. I am faithful. The Word that goes out it shall do its job and I shall water it. Look, look to me and expect.
SEPTEMBER:
I’ve been given two things today: this morning earlier I was given a vision of mist. You know when you see the mist rise and you see the light come through? God was saying that we seem to be in a misty place at the moment. But if we just walk His way and keep pressing in and believing and honouring what we come here for on a Sunday; if we speak to our Lord everyday like He is the only person that we need to speak to - first thing in the morning - ; and He says if you just keep pressing in, the mist will rise and the light will shine through! But at the moment, it’s like we’re stuck a little bit. When we’re sitting here, He’s saying there’s too much distraction, there’s too much distraction. So people, clear your mind to God, clear your mind so that you can think about Him. Clear your mind so that only He is present in your mind. Give Him that time each day, that’s all He’s asking, just a little bit of time everyday and remember you come here for a reason. Live that reason everyday of your life and don’t be afraid to let others know what you’re doing, because when He’s allowed and the light shines from Him, they’re gonna ask you why do you shine like that, you know, and you’re gonna be able to pull them in, you know, and you’re gonna be able to tell other people where it’s coming from. So people please, let’s all get out of the mist, let’s all get out of the mist and let that light shine through.
Concerning the woman with the issue of blood: I saw her continue on in power because even though God had given her enough, she knew God was the God of more! She knew that she had to continue on with things, not just sit on the victory that she had been given, but to continue on and keep growing and growing that relationship with the Lord. And I believe that’s what the Lord wants you to know. The Lord doesn’t want us to just sit on that victory - she had more than enough; she’d been delivered from this thing that she had limited her for twelve years and she didn’t have to continue on but she did. I saw her continue on in power because she knew God was the God of more than enough.
Sometimes you might look and see nothing’s happening but when you turn back, you realise that God was in this.
It’s only You that makes us free: free to love You, free to offer all to You. It’s Your Word Lord, it’s Your Spirit that makes us free. You believe in us and we believe in You. What does His Word say? His Word says we’re loved, we’re accepted in the brethren, we are loved in His sight and it’s by His love He draws us, by His goodness He draws us to Himself. And when we are unfaithful, He is still faithful. It’s something I want to draw closer to because He’s not gonna hit us over the head with a four by two, or whack us around, but it’s His love the that draws us closer to Him, His love, His faithfulness to us. Even when we’re unfaithful, He is still just; He is still faithful. He still thinks upon us. He still loves us. If only we’d believe. Just believe He loves you. It’s His goodness that causes us to turn and to change. It’s His goodness, the goodness and the mercy of God that causes us to want to live rightly by Him, because we want to please Him, not because we have to, because we willingly want to give and do His will. We want to please Him. We want to walk closer to Him, we want to live in Him. You shall live, you shall not die. As you walk through the valley, and as you walk through the situations, you shall not die but you shall live in me, says the Lord. And therefore, hang onto my Word. I shall speak to you even clearly, says the Lord, and I shall give you direction. I shall give you a hope even above the situation, that you may even hang onto Me, that you may action that word. That you may walk highly, even upon the mountaintop, says the Lord. For I have caused you to be a mountaintop people, says the Lord, that would walk the walk and talk the talk. For I am with you. I am with you even in your situation, says the Lord.
The life I have for you, the power and the strength I have for you. The fetters stand open. Stand up. Wise up. Walk in newness of life in Me and you will be a light to this nation; you’ll be a light to this world. You will draw many into My Kingdom. Rise up, rise up My people! The fetters stand open. Shake them off. I love you, My people and I have a plan for you, My precious people. Rise up!
Walk in those words that have been prayed over them, claim the victory of the saints, edify the words of those saints that have prayed into your lives. Work in those victories, claim them with the Lord through you and in you.
There’s an anointing on the Youth this morning. God has a desire for His young people of this church to step forth and minister to God. Sometimes we need to have a hungry heart and God is talking about His young people about fulfilling the things He has put into you by your leadership. God has a word spoken over you that He wants to go out and create a ministry for you and the people in this church so that God can fulfil the miracles and the ministries that He has desired for you. God wants to fill this church up with young people. He’s calling young people out. God desires His young people to step out in the church and to have a hunger for Him because God does not want young people standing in chairs or standing in one place doing nothing. God’s desire is for young people right now. He’s challenging the hearts of the young people in this church because He has a hunger for you, He has a desire for you. God loves you young people and you need to know that. If the world does not love you then Jesus does. You young people need to know that you are the next generation that’s gonna come out and you need to understand that because God’s word is spoken over you. If you’re struggling in God, then go and talk to the leadership and this means everybody in this church. If you feel you’re not saved by God then come and see the leadership. His desire for His people is to reach out to Him and just love God and His desire is for young people.
I shall not lack. The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not lack for He does supply out of His abundance so I need not be afraid. I need not be afraid for the Lord is my Shepherd. And I shall not lack, I shall not want for You supply every need out of Your abundance, gracious Lord, great God. You are worthy! I lay aside all fear and confusion and I trust in Your love. And I trust in Your light. And I trust in Your strength. And I trust in Your Word. For You are my God and my hope is found in You. Oh Shepherd of my soul, I worship You! Shepherd of my soul, I praise You!
Extend, extend, extend outwards to pray for others. You should not pray without faith. Extend, extend, extend your faith.
This is a new day, a new exciting day to open new doors. It is a day to go forward in the Lord. Open those doors my brothers and sisters and be excited,
For the world is in turmoil. The world is in fear. But My people, My true followers shall be filled with My peace, for did I not leave you My peace? For My people have laid their worries at My feet. They are vessels of peace and the peace shall flow out unto those that are in turmoil and they shall see My people and desire what is within them. So say unto My people in this hour: are you filled to overflowing with My peace? For My peace shall move mountains. The peace within you shall speak volumes, for this is an hour when My army shall walk true in the faith of their Lord and they shall lay down their worries and fears and they shall trust in Me.
For My love will never leave you, never forsake you. I am a God who loves you. One thing that shall remain is My faithfulness to you. One thing that shall remain is My heart towards you. One thing that shall remain is My goodness towards you. One thing that shall remain is My mercy. Come to Me. Come to Me and I shall show you. I’m always there for you. I am your God and I am your King. One thing that shall remain is My faithfulness so come to Me and I shall give you the rest that you need. Rest your mind. Rest your heart. Rest in knowing that I am for you.
I would have you lay down the things in the past, your worries and fears. Lay them at the foot of the cross where I paid the price for them and come up, come up higher for I have much for you, My people. Lay those burdens down for I have health and healing and wholeness for you. Lay them down. Don’t carry them round like a familiar jacket you wore. Lay them down. Take them off. Come up higher for I have much to show you, much for you to do and you’ll bring glory to My name and you will reflect the image of My Son. And there’ll be much fruit from this, much fruit.
You are my freedom fighters. I have already won the victory, and I have given you the victory but you need to fight. You need to fight for your victory. You need to fight that fight of faith. Fight for your freedom. Fight for other people’s freedom, that is what I’ve called you to do.
Come forward, focus on the light. Come forward to me. Take away those distractions, My people.
My people, you are My army that walks upon the earth. You are My warriors that speak words of wisdom. Your prayers move the very hand of God. For you are as the athletes of the earth. Those that are in training for my army must be in training in this hour for the dwelling of prayers and dwelling in the presence of the Lord, in the reading of the Word, in the coming together in praising Me. You are like the athletes in training. And I say unto My people in this hour, you shall not just win the race and get a gold medal but my people shall move the very hand of God. My people shall dominate and take the world as God has promised. My people shall be known by their fruits. My people shall be known by their words of wisdom, not as the athletes who have just won a gold, they shall be forgotten over time, but My people shall be raised up and they shall be winners of true victory on this earth.
I am raising an army that would rise at this hour, says the Lord. And even within yourself, I would arise within you to pull down the strongholds and to break free in a way that you have not known. Where there seems to be no life, I bring life. Therefore rely upon me, rely upon my word, rely upon my sayings and what I will do within you. For I have come that I might bring life even into the dead places, even within your life. There is a spring, there is a well that makes glad the city of my God. There is a well that makes Him glad and it lives and abides within my people. Therefore, I would have you to draw down that I might bring up life within you that you might speak life to the dry bones that would be contrary to the way the carnal mind would think even at this time for I am causing my army to arise. I am causing my army to arise in this hour, I am causing my army to fight with divine power and with the sword of the Spirit. I am causing my people to cut asunder the enemies of your own mind. I am causing you to come forward and to break free for I have not set a people to be in bondage but I have set a people to come, to be free and to worship me that I might bring them into a land that would enlarge them and bring them into bountiful blessings. For I would speak to your heart at this time, that I might bring forth fruit even within your life.
Come closer to me and I will wait just as patiently for that second step. Like an infant, those first steps will lead to running.
God has not forgotten you. It is time to soften the heart from the world to God. God loves each one of you. God wants to put you aside the things of the world. God wants to spend time with each one of you. He speaks the word of wisdom and He speaks the word of kindness and His Spirit hovers over the earth as He says in Genesis 1 about the Spirit hovering all over the world. He made all things. And so what God is saying is that He has your life in His hands, so soften your heart. Some people are saying this morning, I am not worthy, I am not worthy. But God would even say, Yes, you are worthy of Me, you are worthy of Me. If you’d just come to church every second week or just come back; God loves you and He’s going to keep saying that to you. He’s going to keep saying that to your mind. He’s going to keep saying that to your heart.
There’s so many invited to the wedding feast that I have bid. Many have said that I’m too busy, I cannot come. Well I will say to you today that there’s many that have come in here, all you young ones, you new ones, you men that struggle, the Lord would say, even you young girls, the Lord would say, you’ve come to the wedding feast. He said, just keep coming and see what I would do, because each and every one of you, I know the hairs on your head, He said, I know the number of them. I know the number of your days. I know your ending even. My thoughts for you are for good and He would say, keep coming and see what I would do in this place. Keep coming! Keep coming! I am the God, I am El Shaddai, I am the God your provider! Come and see what I will give unto you. God’s just saying that to everyone of you in this church. He said, you’ve come, you’ve come, so keep coming, know and see what I will do for you.
OCTOBER
For I will stir praise in My people. I will stir up praise. Praise that will not be held back. Praise that cannot be restrained. It will not be civil and dignified. It will not be genteel. It will be loud and will roar like a lion. It will shout. It will have all the strength of a tempest and the strongest of waves. It will not be still; it will not be silent. It will not be quiet and cast down, but it will shout from the mountaintops. It will roar! The praises of My people I would have to be a shout this day. The praises of My people I would have to be a roar this day. Stir yourselves to praise. Stir yourselves to praise. Let praise arise in My people. Let praise arise. Let all creation and the works of My hands praise My Name. Shout with praise! Roar with praise! Hold not back, hold not back! But let your praise roar from your hearts. Let it roar from your lives. Let it roar from your mouths. I will stir up praise within My people. The sound of a roar shall be heard within My people. Let the praise arise.
Even my water, even My Word would cover you, says God. And I would cause My Word and My Spirit to arise in this hour even within your life and within your heart. That there might even be the praise, the power of heaven, arise within you, that might overwhelm the sea, which are the things that of the world. Surely I am building My people, a mighty people, a people of battle, a people that would arise in this hour, that would arise in praise, that would arise to praise. That would look unto Me, not unto the situations in the earth, but would look unto Me and trust in Me. And I would cause the waters to overwhelm you. I would cause My Word to overwhelm you and My Spirit to lift you to bring praise to My name that I might be glorified in the earth. For surely I am for you, and My plans, My purposes are for your good. So therefore start to praise Me. Start to thank Me. Start to be a thankful people. Start to praise Me and know this, that My waters shall overwhelm you and My waters shall gush forth from your heart, says the Lord, and My Spirit shall arise even within you.
Your burdens, put it onto Me and it will grow stronger no more. Put it onto Me, for it is your portion and I will deliver you. Put it onto Me and be saved. Be saved, My people. For your portion isn’t a portion of sadness; it’s a portion of greatness.
Come and lay down your burden at My cross. Come and lay the burden down and then when you walk away and you begin to take it again, come and lay it down. As you begin to pick it up again tomorrow, lay it down again, says the Lord. Because there will come a day when you will lay it down and it will be gone. It will stay down for I would have My people to come to Me, to surrender to Me, to put off those things and lay them down at My cross, at My feet. For I am well-able, says the Lord. I can do all things and I want to move through a people but I can’t move through a people that are full of their baggage and I would say unto you, remove your baggage. Lay it down at My feet and when it tries to come back, lay it down at My feet. For I would have you to soar in this hour, I would have My people to soar and not be chained to the ground and chained to the earth and chained to the things of the past and chained to the things of guilt and chained to the things of hopelessness, says the Lord. But I would have a people that would know who they are in Me, that they could lay it all down. And I would give them, I would exchange for them their death; I would exchange those things for life, says the Lord. So lay them down at My feet and don’t take them up again. Leave them down and leave them surrendered that you might soar as eagle saints, says the Lord.
We have His Holy Spirit here within us. It binds us together and makes us one. We have hope, joy, faith and love, we have hope, joy, faith and love. There’s no way we can thank You enough for Your hope, joy, faith and love. Through Christ, God has fully claimed us and redeemed us, taken all our sin; we’re white as snow. We will live with Him forever. He’ll leave us now but we have His promise that’s how we know. We live by hope, joy, faith and love, hope, joy, faith and love. There’s no way we can thank Him enough for his hope, joy, faith and love. Hope in the gospel and what we believe. Joy in our hearts for what He’s achieved. Faith to accept His truth unseen and love is the greatest of all things. So lift your voice now. Let’s praise Him! Let’s give Him glory. Let’s raise our hands to praise Him. He is our Lord and Saviour, He is our King and Master, the Son of God and we proclaim His Name.
Fear not, My people, but just walk on in me. Have no fear, for I’ve not made fear a stumbling block in your way. I haven’t made that but I’ve made you to overcome that.
I see a picture of a mountain and at the top of the mountain there’s like a void, a deep, deep void at the top of the mountain that’s full of water, an endless supply of water and I believe that the Lord, that the base of the mountain is a real desert place. And I see that at the top of the void where the water is there’s a rock to stop the water from flowing but I see the Lord’s removing that rock and there’s a stream, there’s a river that’s gonna flow down from the mountain into that desert place and everywhere that river touches in the desert brings life. And I believe the Lord’s wanting to say to us that we need to plant ourselves by the water, we need to plant ourselves by that river to refresh, to revive, to bring life to our lives. Because there are barren times in our lives and in our walks; there are times when we feel that the Lord is far from us but that is not the truth. The Lord is there and is near.
