Psalms 110:1

The Lord says to my lord:

“Sit at my right hand,

until I make your enemies

a footstool for your feet.

It just hit me this scripture!!! We hear in the New Testament that Jesus is now at the right hand of the father. And where does the bible say we are seated? Ephesian 2:6 says, “We are seated in heavenly places in Christ Jesus too”.

Now, if Jesus has all the victory; that means nothing can touch Him. In this scripture in Psalms David is referring to Jesus who is to come. And you see the Father talking to the Son. The Fathers says to Jesus “Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet” How much power does the footstool have? I feel like laughing. lol. As I can see why God would laugh at his enemies, because they have no power to touch Him.

Jesus is resting in Majesty and authority and the enemy is defeated. God says we are seated there with Him. Jesus certainly isn’t worried. So if we are seated with Him in heavenly place in Christ Jesus. How should we be seated to? Rested with Him, while He makes our enemies a footstool. Right? When you use a footstool, your really are in a relaxed and rested position. Do you agree? Yes.. Well that’s how Jesus wants you to see yourself with Him.

“Seated on high in Him, with the enemy under your feet as a footstool”.

What if every time the enemy attacked you, you just saw the enemy under your feet while you rested and just laughed at him….. What if his attacks just solidified more his powerlessness as a footstool? Would you just want to laugh because you know your in victory and the enemy has no hope or power? I think so. The joy of the Lord is your strength, and joy in trials is what we need. If you would see things from your position in Christ in heavenly places, I’m sure some of you are going to get your joy back!!!

Now it is also interesting; In Ephesian 2:6 Paul refers to Jesus as “Christ Jesus”. Christ means: anointed, Messiah. I feel that Paul was pointing out that Jesus was “anointed”, which means “smeared with oil”. So now that we are in Christ, would that mean we are “smeared with oil (anointed) too”.

Absolutely!!!!

So today, see yourself where you are in Christ: untouchable, victorious, undefeated, rested, smeared with oil, filled with joy and laugher.

The enemy is literally under your feet (our footstool).

Psalms 50:5

Gather to me this consecrated people, who made a covenant with me by sacrifice.

This scripture impacted my life when I was younger, and still does. There are 2 parts to it that are very relevant today;

Gathering together consecrated people to God; andConsecrated people who have made a covenant with God willing to pay any cost.

I have been seeing 505 everywhere for a long time now. And I believe Jesus is echoing this scripture right now. It is time to gather His consecrated ones, those who have made a covenant with Him by sacrifice. God wants us to seek His face like no other time. Its time for a Holy Reformation!

Those who have consecrated themselves are those who are willing to give up what God wants, to have what God wants them to have. I believe God wants us to have a Holy Revival. No revival ever came without a cost or sacrifice. Many people in the past have given up everything to prayer and see a Holy Revival.

My questions to you is;

What price are you willing to pay to see God move?What things are you willing to give up to seek His face? andWhat do you really want?

God is after those who will diligently seek Him. Lou Engle described consecrated people as those who are willing to “give up the legitimate pleasures of this life, for the extreme pleasure of knowing Him”.

Would you being willing to give up TV to know God more?Would you be willing to give up doing your hobbies to know God?Would you being willing to give up social media to know God?Better still, what are you willing to give up to seek God’s face for revival?

I personal think that there is no price to high to pay to see God’s face. He is altogether lovely and satisfying. His water and wine is better then anything on this earth. We need His Holy Spirit to see a move of God in our nations. Its time to seek His face and gather together in one accord to see Him sweep the earth with His love and Holy Fire.

Ask God these coming days;

What do you want me to give up to seek you?When and how would you like me to prayer more?What can I do to see a move of God in my nation?Who do you want me to gather to you God in this season?

God has already done everything for us to have a Holy awakening. He is just wanting on us to answer the call and response. One people can make a difference. Will you be that one?

Psalms 68:11

The Lord gives the word (of power); the women who bear and publish (the news) are a great host.

(I don’t usually write things directed at women only, but this was in my devotions today and I thought it was worth the mention. Men I also have an encouragement for you too)

There is a “power” women’s movement arising on the earth at the moment. And God is putting His word in there mouths. I believe women are going to be used in the most amazing ways in these last days. The oppression of years gone has not been wasted. I believe it has forged, and formed a compassionate, militant, justice and a loving woman in the process.

There is a great host of women that are going to come to the forefront, in all of the 5 fold ministries in this season. I also see many women evangelist going out into all spheres of influence, with a unashamed contagious love for others. There will be a great heralding in of many, through them.

But don’t worry Men. We will definitely being running with you. We can’t do our jobs without still honoring the covering God’s given us. But I will say, there will have to be openness with the men in this season, that a woman may have the word of the Lord for you….

We are no higher or no lesser. We will just be running together.

I’m exciting as I sense what God is going to do, with this force to be reckon with. With both the sons and daughters running together. Arise women, arise men! This is our time to shine Jesus together…

Ps. I’m aware that others have shared words about this of late. I have not intention of copying. Just that this was my bible reading today and I think this is on God heart too. Blessings

Psalms 89:34

I will not violate my covenant or alter what my lips have uttered.

Our God is a promise keeper. Someone needs to hear this today. I know I did. Sometimes, between what God has promised and it manifesting in our lives. We need to remind ourselves “God does not lie”. And as this scripture say “I will not violate my covenant or alter what my lips have uttered”..

This is amazing news!!! You can declare and decree this promise from God over your life. And rest…. You may have been standing for a promise for a while and its getting tuff. Sometimes its the hardest just before your breakthrough. Don’t give up on God’s promise for you. He has not forgotten them.

“I will not alter what my lips have uttered”

These words are resounding in my spirit. I believe this is not just His logos word’s to you, but His rhema as well. God is saying ‘I will deliver, it is coming”. Sometimes in the process, God is creating a masterpiece in us. Also creating in us the ability to carry the promises well. Don’t despise the waiting. Anything good is worth waiting for. Be encouraged, His promises are coming.

Psalms 62:1

I stand silently to listen for the one I love, waiting as long as it takes for the Lord to rescue me. For God alone has become me Savior.

Imagine if everyone had this much hunger to hear from God? I believe David found a secret here. If we don’t have God or hear His direction, we have nothing. We need to prize Him more then anything. And be willing to wait as long as it takes to see him.

You see, in this day and ages we want everything so fast. Its very self gratifying. Sometimes no hard work is exerted to get something. And in some ways, we don’t really appreciate all we have because its become common.

My question to you;

What are you going to pay a price for?What’s of great worth to you?

I believe David didn’t want to move because he found his pearl of great price. He also knew that without the Lord, he had no chance against his enemies and when in trials. He found the one in whom he loved and wasn’t going to do anything alone anymore…. This is a good move and a sure foundation.

Question;

“Could God be holding back sometimes, just to see how much you want Him?”

“How valuable is God to you?’

David found the key for deliverance and so should we. Jesus is our help and deliverer. Lets wait and do things with Him.

Testimony;

I had a season of waiting hours with the Lord and it differently changed my life. I still do a lot of waiting. I began to hear his still whisper in that season, and now I hear His voice. “Time with Him helps you to hear Him”.

Maybe you need to stop moving and just stand or sit silently with the one you love. I believe many encounters are waiting for you in this place. And maybe even a mighty deliverance….

Psalms 41:9

Even my close friend, someone I trusted, one who shared my bread, has turned against me.

This verse is a very raw verse, because unfortunately this can happen. I don’t want to dampen you with this truth, but I want to encourage you. David had times of betrayal, so did Jesus and Paul.

If we are going to be disciples of Jesus, unfortunately we may at times experience some misunderstanding with our brethren. The enemy wants to twist the truth among brethren and cause division. That is why Paul said, we are not ignorant to the devils scheme.

If this happens to you. Remember, we wrestle not against flesh and blood. A good movie to watch is the War Room. In this movie, it depicts well “who” our really enemy is. And remember God said while being crucified, “forgive them for they know not what they do”. See things the way Jesus does and get a prayer strategy.

The bibles says too,

Forgive,bless and don’t curse,pray for those who hurt you,pray for those who persecute you,pray for those who speck evil of you,if you have wrong someone, go make it right.and, rejoice when you come into trials.

In these times draw close to God, He is your comforter and understands things better then anyone does. Vent all your pain to God and seek His guidance in your situation. Be careful whom you confide in too. You don’t want to cause more division. Because God’s ultimate goal is restoration.

You can love, forgive and keep going in difficult times. If Jesus can, so can we in the Holy Spirit..

Keep loving, keep moving.

I don’t know about you, but I love to see Jesus face. In the beginning of Matthew Jesus also says, the pure in heart will see His face. I want to encourage you today, Jesus wants you to see his face. And below is a guarantee of seeing it. Live upright in all things and you will see His face. I don’t know about you, but I would sell all that I have just to be with Him. So the cost of being upright and pure is something I will definitely pay to see His face. (Life any other way is just yuck) His face is beautiful and lovely. To have His smile is all that you need. To have His intimacy means contentment and rest. No other place to be. So I encourage you today, live upright and pure. It has its reward, and that is Him... Enjoy His face today...

God spoke to me while bush walking yesterday, and I believe it is a word of wisdom for some.

As you can imagine doing a long walk with little kids can be tense. Especially when we are walking on very narrow paths with cliff edges. It even had warning signs to let us know to be careful.

I asked the Lord what he was saying while we were walking and to my surprise He spoke to me through what we were doing. You see, God never asks you to do anything remoting dangerous unless you walk in obedience. I noticed this with my kids. I was constantly keeping them away from danger with my voice. If my kids had been disobedient kids, it would not have been good for them.

In fact as a parent you would never take disobedient kids on a dangerous walk. And this had me thinking. Many times people think they are ready to do some things for the Lord, like going into dangerous places or places where they could be tempted. But if the person going has not learnt Gods voice yet, or to obey Him this could be a very dangerous situation.

Ever time I brought a warning to my kids they heeded it straight away. I constantly watched over them the whole time. But imagine if my kids couldn’t hear me? Or they wanted to what they wanted? As kids they don’t know the danger of things but me being the parent see the bigger picture. This is how it is with God to. We need to not only hear His voice but also obey it.

Now for some of you, God has called you to maybe minister to Gangs, Drug addicts, Criminals, Tribes, Muslims or maybe do into war torn areas. But as a parent I want to give you a warning. Don’t rush the process.. If you cant hear God in the little thing and obey Him? How will you in difficult situations? My encouragement to you is to get to know Gods voice and obey it. “As He is able to keep you for falling”..

God will have some of you go to the darkest places but remember to be faithful with the little in your life now. So you can really do damage to the enemy when God releases you…

You need your Torch of truthThe Lord spoke to me yesterday through a movie. In the movie there was a ‘torch of truth’. And I felt the Lord speak to me and say... “It is so important that my people keep in the Word of God in this season and in all seasons. It is only the Word of God that keeps us in truth.. Without My Word in your life, you won’t know what isn’t me.. For my Word will be lamp to your feet and a light to your path. Psalms 115:105. Without my Word there will be nothing to light your way, as I am the Word and your light.. Please don’t stray from my Word as it’s crucial for staying in Him... John 8:31 Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him, “If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed. And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”Many things will come to cloud my truth but if you will seek me and abide in my Word I’ll get you through anything!! My truth and Word is a weapon in your hand. Use it!! You will know what is me, and what is not me if you will just abide in my Word... There are many things I want to do with you, many blessings and signs and wonders. But I can’t bless what is not in truth. So abide in my Word......John 15:7-8 If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you”You are going to fall in love with Gods Word in this season as His Words are Spirit and life... John 6:63... You are going to be so nourish by His Word that you’ll wonder how you ever coped in other seasons. For His Word is going to be so refreshing it will leave you in amazement and wonder of God goodness.. For His Word will be refreshing, love and healing to many.. As you fall in love with truth Himself.. Jesus our Word of life....Let the real torch of truth lead you into all Jesus has for you!! It’s going to be grand and marvelous, displaying His Glory.... ❤️

On the 7 of the 7month 2018 God spoke to me and said “He is coming to defend and contend for Australia and His people”Defend meaning:• resisting the attack made on his people and Australia. • He is protecting them from harm and danger. • He is protecting, guarding, safeguarding His people and His nation. • He is hearing our prayers. • He will preserve, secure His promises for his people and this land.• He will shield and shelter this nation.He also spoke to me about the word secure, and it means;• Fixed or fastened, so as not to give way or become loose or lost. I felt this directly to His promises to you and this nation. Jesus has secured them..• He will uphold, support and cover this nation and its people because this is the Great Southland of the Holy Spirit.. His promises are FIXED…Our prayers for our nation is holding back the enemy and locking him out. It is also shutting doors to the enemy in our nation and your life.. Keep praying and be encouraged….He is on Australia’s side and watching over it and defending this land, it will be filled with His Glory…I heard the Lord say He is “speaking and writing in favour of Christians in Australia. I am making a case for, standing up for, sticking up for and championing His people and Gods cause in this land….Vindication is coming….Jesus is coming to your defense and He is sustaining you in the fight…What I wrote when I got this word was, God will compete to retain a seat and Title in the election and bills in this land, He is placing people in position for the come back. There will be a checkmate”.. Funny now we have a Christian Prime Minister..God is conducting this case of injustice in the land and He is competing with our enemies.. He is going Head to Head and He will win… God is challenging the enemy.. There will be a glorious Victory with God answering by fire in this land…God will hold, claim and maintain His territory.. He is insisting, stating and declaring that Australia belongs to the Lord. Pronouncing Australia will be saved.. Affirming God will come as the King of Glory of heaven and Earth…Be encouraged Church cause the enemy is defeated and this is a glorious season to be alive… Rejoice, sing and keep praying victory belongs to the Lord…

Acts 6:7The Word of God prospered.Have you ever read or listen to the word of God and a verse just jumped out at you. Sometimes you don’t always understand it yet but your spirit is receiving it. Well that’s what happened this morning with my devotion. Just speaking this verse rings beautifully in my ears. I knew there was more to it. So I started researching. This verse is in Acts 6:7 and it’s in regard to the early church after Pentecost. What God was doing “spread widely”. In fact another translation of this scripture says “the word of God spread”. For something to prosper it has to multiple and that is exactly what was happening with the early church. Which was Exciting stuff!But I knew God was saying more to me then just multiplication and spreading. So I looked up the meaning of the word “word” in greek. What I found was amazing! The word for “word” in greek means logos. Which means; Orig: from 3004; something said (including the thought); by implication, a topic (subject of discourse), also reasoning (the mental faculty) or motive; by extension, a computation; specially, (with the article in John) the Divine Expression (i.e. Christ):--account, cause, communication, X concerning, doctrine, fame, X have to do, intent, matter, mouth, preaching, question, reason, + reckon, remove, say(-ing), shew, X speaker, speech, talk, thing, + none of these things move me, tidings, treatise, utterance, word, work.So if you read this scripture again and put it in the full meaning, it could sound like this;The Devine Expression of God spread;The communication of God spread;The fame of God spread;

The talk of God spread;The intent of God spread;The thought of God spread;The doctrine of God spread;The mouth of God spread;The preaching of God spread;The matter of God spread;The cause of God spread;The motive of God spread;The extension of God spread; The concerning of God spread;The account of God spread;The topic of God spread;The reasoning of God spread.All of the above prospered!

Doesn’t this show so much more emotion of what God was doing at that time? It was not just God’s word that was spreading but His whole heart behind these words. His whole embodiment was spreading. He was building a church that was looking like Him in word and character.I get this feeling like we need to get back to not only preaching the Gospel but displaying the full Gospel. Which is God’s heart as well. A Gospel with just words but no love, “is not a Gospel at all”. It is the heart of God that draws people to Himself. People weren’t draw to a book but to a person. Otherwise, we would just have the law and religion. But Jesus was a person and He is living in us and is very relatable and expressive. There is so much love and heart behind the Gospel. Let us not just preach the Gospel without love but with intent of love and cause. Because the Gospel is a sweet smelling aroma to those who are being saved which means its must be desirable.Perhaps the reason why the Gospel spread widely is because they had caught a glimpse of the whole heart of God as well. Maybe if we preached with so much more of Gods heart for others; we would see a wide spread of the Gospel again. Lets us always seek God for His heart for others and us. So we have the whole Gospel to impart to others. Lets us preach in love and heart and not just in “words”. People will be impacted by it.

Mark 16:15

Then he said, “Go into the world. Go everywhere and announce the Message of God’s good news to one and all. Whoever believes and is baptized is saved; whoever refuses to believe is damned.”

‭

The Gospel commission is simple. Go.. into the world tell anyone or everyone that Jesus is alive, that He loves them and has died for there sins. Whoever believes will be saved, whoever does not will be condemned.

If you are born again today, then this commission is for you. It’s for all His disciples. We are all called to share the Good News of the Gospel. We don’t want to be one of those who hide there light under a basket like Jesus spoke of in one of His parables.

Love isn’t selfish, so it is willing to share the Good News with anyone. Love gives, so we give this wonderful news away to others. We find life by losing our life for the Gospel now. We store up treasures in heaven where it can’t be destroyed. The only thing we can bring to heaven is people and God loves everyone “oh so much”.

So today let’s not get distracted by the treasures of this world, that we forget to share the real treasure of the world with others. Life is to short and we don’t know when someone time is up. So I say share the Good News everywhere you go. Stop for the one and share God’s love. You will find life and life more abundantly as you give your life away. And many will be saved and set free because of your obedience.

Jesus gave His life for you, will you give your life for Him. Go and preach the Good News today. You will be walking in your purpose as you do.

Proverbs 30:5

Every promise of God proves true; he protects everyone who runs to him for help.

As I was reading this today it stuck out to me that; the way to receive your promise is to run to God for help always.

Have you got a promise from God your contending for? Well if you faithfully seek God and pray for help, you will “without a doubt” receive your promise. How do I know this? Well it’s written right here in his word. Read this verse again slowly, you see I believe that the first part of this verse is in the same sentence as the second part. It’s the fulfillment of the first part of the verse.

So today!! Be encouraged! God wants you to know that you will receive his promises for your life. He is showing you the way to not fail, and he is giving you the faith that if you ask him for help he will do it.

This is the sure way to receive his promises to you is to run to God and ask for his help always. He will protect those promises to you over your life. God is great at staying true to his word. He is faithful and he will help you and do it for you.

Mark 12:41-44

“Sitting across from the offering box, he was observing how the crowd tossed money in for the collection. Many of the rich were making large contributions. One poor widow came up and put in two small coins—a measly two cents. Jesus called his disciples over and said, “The truth is that this poor widow gave more to the collection than all the others put together. All the others gave what they’ll never miss; she gave extravagantly what she couldn’t afford—she gave her all.””

‭‭

I love this passage! Especially when it says “she gave her all”. How much have you given God lately? This woman may have given all her money but I believe she gave all her heart to. She was like “all my chips are in” she wasn’t turning back. Maybe she caught a glimpse of Jesus and fell in love or maybe she was so desperate she was willing to give anything to get herself to a better place. Either way what she did was precious. She gave Jesus her all.

I bet some of you reading this can think of more ways to give your all. Have you given up your most prized possessions yet? The Lady with the alabaster box did. She gave her all too. Even her time and effort to show love to Jesus. Tanglable love. Not just a Facebook message. Lol.

I believe there are many people that God wants us to touch but it’s on the other side of our giving. Stuff is just stuff but when given to others it can display love and make people feel special. What’s something you can do today for someone else? And maybe God wants you to give up a bit of your time to go help or love someone. Sometimes we as Gods people are the only bible people see. Does our life reflect Jesus well? I hope so. If not, show someone love and time today. Maybe even bless someone. Believe me you will get more joy out of it too. Give your widows mite today and see what God does with it. You’ll be surprised!!!

Proverb 24:5

Wisdom can make anyone into a mighty warrior, and revelation knowledge increases strength.

Hmmm. Revelation knowledge? Sounds great doesn’t it. Who here, reading this, has ever had a word from the Lord and then all of a sudden, everything that was coming against you broke and you finally had strength to do God’s will? Well that is what revelation Knowledge will do.

We need daily bread, just like the Lords prayers says. And that is not just food but spiritual food. Man should not live on bread alone but ever word that comes from the mouth of God. See? A word from God is crucial for growth and increase in strength. We all need revelation knowledge.

So how do you get revelation knowledge? By seeking God! Through the word, prayer, maybe a good teaching or God can speak to you through life. (Like a sign). But most important is reading the word of God. But you don’t just need the logos word (the written word) but you need the rhema word (revelation Knowledge or spoken word). You need the spoken word to you, your personal word from the word of God that gives strength.

So if you’re down on strength today? I encourage you to seek God in these ways, especially reading His word. God will speak to you by inspiration and you will have the strength you need to finish your race well. Remember God is always with you and one way you can experience Him is through spending time with Him in His word and prayer. I dare you to seek Him today. You will get the revelation knowledge you need to go forward for God. God is waiting for you to dine with Him. So take some time to do it today, get the revelation knowledge you need. xx

2 kings 4:25-28

So she set out and came to the man of God at Mount Carmel.

When he saw her in the distance, the man of God said to his servant Gehazi, “Look! There’s the Shunammite! 26 Run to meet her and ask her, ‘Are you all right? Is your husband all right? Is your child all right?’”

“Everything is all right,” she said.

27 When she reached the man of God at the mountain, she took hold of his feet. Gehazi came over to push her away, but the man of God said, “Leave her alone! She is in bitter distress,but the Lord has hidden it from me and has not told me why.”

28 “Did I ask you for a son, my lord?” she said. “Didn’t I tell you, ‘Don’t raise my hopes’?”

I came across this, this morning while doing my devotions. Isnt it interesting? If you read all of this passage in context. Her son was dead. But the prophet had prophesied that she would have a son and she did. Now she finds her son has died. So she runs to the prophet. The prophet see her, and asks if she is alright, and she replies “Everything is alright”.

Now why did she reply “Everything is alright” when her son was dead. I believe that she had hope now that the prophet was with her so she knew all would be all right. Maybe she was speaking those things that aren’t as tho they were to. She was prophesying over her situation.

How many times, do we at time panic in a crisis and speak out all kinds of doubt and unbelief when God wants you to speak faith. We forget that God is with us, and He is always saying, “everything is going to be alright” This is the truth. Maybe if she hadn’t spoke faith, she may have not had her son raised to life?

When God gives you a promise and you receive it but then things start to go bad. We need to remember Who gave us the promise! And he never gave it to us to let that promise or dream die. No! We need to believe and keep the faith and speak out the promise. And we will surely receive the fulfilled promise that God promised.

So when in a battle, remember Gods promises to you and don’t speak out the doubt because God will complete the good work he began in you. And God never gave you a promise to watch it die in front of you. God gave you that promises and He will keep it alive. Stay in faith and you will see Jesus resurrect it if He needs to, and protect what He has declared. So only speak faith. It is not lying, as you are speaking things that aren’t as though they were and getting your promise.

Be like this lady and decree;

Everything is all right

God has got this.

He is faithful.

I will see this promise come to fullness.

My dreams aren’t dead, but they are alive

Proverbs 17:9

Overlook an offense and keep the bond of friendship.

Here is a good piece of wisdom. Every now and again, “well it is possible” a friend may let you down in some way. Now here is a scripture you are going to need if that should happen. The bible says we should overlook offense when it comes to a friend. We must remember that no one has ever been perfect so we need to give grace for others slip-ups.

I have found that when you do that sometime your friendship can become a whole lot closer. Remember sometime if you look at your situation, it may only be a very small thing you’re upset over. It’s definitely not worth losing a friend over. Sometime emotions can get in the way and exaggerate the situation.

Friendships are something special from God, and they are like a gift from Him. They are worth looking after. Sometime a friend is all you have besides Jesus. Friendship is a God idea as God was the first to be Adams friend. He was also a friend to Moses to. If you have a handful of Friends, you are a very rich person. Look after those friendships and cherish them, as you never know when you may need a friend.

Micah 5:6

And if some bullying Assyrian shows up, invades and violates our lands don’t worry. We’ll put him in his place, send him packing and watch his every move.

(b)Our Sheppard ruler will save us from old or new enemies, from anyone who invades or violates our land.

This sounds like some awesome protection here. Have you ever had some enemies? Whether you have had an old enemy or a new one, you are safe in Gods protection. It can’t touch you. God will send them packing!! Amen. Is that Good News for you?

What do enemies look like? Well they could be a struggle you have had or a problem you have been facing now. With yourself or a family member. God here says, “These things will get sent packing!!!” Well you could say but God is talking to the Israelites here? Yes he is, but this is God’s heart and nature here. He is showing that He is our defender, forever. He really is that Good.

God’s nature doesn’t change. He protects his children. What ever you have been struggling with in your life. Apply this promise from God to it, and rest assured, that God is going to send that issue packing! Whether it is an old issue or a new issue. God is going to defend you in this. Rest assured in His promise. He really is that good. He was to the Israelites and He will be to you to.

Luke 22:39-51

Coming out, He went to the Mount of Olives, as He was accustomed, and His disciples also followed Him. 40 When He came to the place, He said to them, “Pray that you may not enter into temptation.”

41 And He was withdrawn from them about a stone’s throw, and He knelt down and prayed, 42 saying, “Father, if it is Your will, take this cup away from Me; nevertheless not My will, but Yours, be done.” 43 Then an angel appeared to Him from heaven, strengthening Him. 44 And being in agony, He prayed more earnestly. Then His sweat became like great drops of blood falling down to the ground.[e]

45 When He rose up from prayer, and had come to His disciples, He found them sleeping from sorrow. 46 Then He said to them, “Why do you sleep? Rise and pray, lest you enter into temptation.”

There is so much in these few verse!! First you see that Jesus prayed often and in this time, the disciples followed him. There in itself is a message. Jesus prayed often. As His disciples we are to follow in his footsteps. This is where Jesus got his power and strength.

Secondly Jesus warned that they should pray lest they fall into temptation. You see, the disciple must have been burdened too because he said they fell asleep with sorrow. So the temptation is when you are birthing something, you will feel the sorrow of it. But the goal here is not to let yourself fall asleep in prayerlessness but see it through to birthing it in prayer. It may cost you some sleep. Jesus had to, we must too.

Thirdly is, Jesus was strengthen by a angel after His intercession. I believe Jesus will do the same with you too. We have angelic help to help us birth what God is wanting. So don’t give up in the travail and burden of the Lord. Press and push through in prayer. There are angels waiting to strengthen you through the pushing. You are not alone. You will succeed!, As you have all heavens assistance, and backing you.

So stay fervent in prayer always. Jesus endured and was resurrected. So will be, the calling and purpose for your life. You will glorify God as you persist in prayer and press in until you see His kingdom come.

I’m in the Old Testament atm, and while listening the other day. What stuck out to me was, “the tent of meeting”.

It got me thinking! Tent of meeting. Hmmmmm. Now Moses was the one who was called to meet with God there. And we are all like a type of Moses now in Christ. We are all deliverers, as we have been delivered. But are we meeting with the deliverer meaning “God” regularly?

We are called to meet with God everyday! He is our maker. Do you have a tent of meeting with God? Do you have a place you like to meet with Him. Maybe a coffee and Him first thing in the morning. Or a prayer walk or prayer time inside your day? Maybe some worshipping while changing nappies. Do you have a place you meet with God regular?

I encourage you. Make a date with God everyday. Make a habit of spending time with him. If you spend time with Him, you will have all the strength and knowledge to live your life and do His will. He rewards those who diligently seek Him. So take time in you schedule to meet with Him.

However it looks and however it works just do it. You will be nourished and strengthened.

It doesn’t matter if it is just a little time each day. Make it achievable if you need to. But just set aside some sacred time each day to love your king. It will transform your life. He is jealous to help you and meet with you

25 He clogged the wheels of their chariots; they were stuck in the mud. The Egyptians said, "Run from Israel! God is fighting on their side and against Egypt!"

and

13 Moses spoke to the people: "Don't be afraid. Stand firm and watch God do his work of salvation for you today. Take a good look at the Egyptians today for you're never going to see them again. 14 God will fight the battle for you. And you? You keep your mouths shut!

Theses verses really stuck out to me today and I really felt that this is a word for many today. The enemy is screaming to each other to run away from you!! How good is that. God has come on the scene for you and the enemy is terrified. I believe that some of these enemies you will never see again. God is decreeing that over your life. God is fighting for you. The victory has come just like He did for the Isrealites. The enemy has lost his power. The wheels have come loose and God has done this.

You are in a new day of victory. Just keep your mouth shut as you watch God defeat your enemies. Rejoice as you see the hand of God in your life. You have won. The enemy is screaming “run from God’s people, God is on there side!!!”

I was listening to the old testament the other day and I couldn’t help but notice that God assigned people to look after the Testimony. I believe the testimony was the tent of the tabernacle which housed the manna, commandments etc.

It occurred to me how important it is to steward well what God does in your life. God was really intentional, and found it important to have people look after well the proof of what God has done. I suppose if you want something to last long, you need to protect it and look after it. Do you want to last long? Well, I believe there is power in your testimony.

Remember it,go over it regularlyand Share it regularly.

It is very important to God for you to steward all His testimonies in your life well. Could it be that if we keep remembering what God has done, it will leave no room for the devil to discourage or make you backslide or go astray.

The testimony is powerful. God will do it again all the miraculous! If He has got you through it before, He will do it again. Remember His majesty, it is marvelous!! Faith comes by remembering to. Feasting on what God has done and is doing is like you feasting at God’s table, in the presence of your enemies. Get lost in His fellowship today.

Get busy protecting your testimony. You wont be disappointed but very encouraged. Assign time in your day or week, just to go over and remember all God has done for you. It will keep you strong and active in Jesus and a overcomer. Also, dream a little while, while you are at it. Be hopeful of good expectation of good things to come. It will surely happen. Your have an awesome testimony. You overcome the enemy with it to. Go for it and remember!!

Genesis 30: 37-39

37 Now Jacob took for himself rods of green poplar and of the almond and chestnut trees, peeled white strips in them, and exposed the white which was in the rods. 38 And the rods which he had peeled, he set before the flocks in the gutters, in the watering troughs where the flocks came to drink, so that they should conceive when they came to drink. 39 So the flocks conceived before the rods, and the flocks brought forth streaked, speckled, and spotted.

Jacob was on to something when he put the streaked wood before the eating and mating troughs of the animals. What you behold is what you become! What you meditate on is what you will multiple. Why don’t you practice meditating on the promises of God this day. Imagine yourself walking in your calling and destiny, filled with the fullness of God. What you mediate on is what you will multiple. Start dreaming the dreams of God. It will manifest and multiply in your life.

Your imagination is to be filled with light and all the fullness of God. Start using your imagination for God realities and dreams. You will see it all multiple before you. Dream big!!

Genesis 5:24

Enoch walked steadily with God. And then one day he was simply gone: God took him.

In this day back then age it was very corrupt and wicked. It was only a couple generation until Noah. So you can imagine how faithful Enoch must have been.

But while pondering on this verse I asked the question what if God said that about us. Wouldn’t that be awesome? If Enoch walked steadily with God so can we. We can walk in consistent commune with Christ now we are born again. Maybe God took Enoch because he walked in a future glory and that wouldn’t be good if he taught all to walk with God, with sin still not paid for yet. Or maybe God just loved Him. Maybe he knew too much so God took him. Who knows?

I believe he walked, as we can walk now. We can walk like that now. Because the rapture could happen any minute and we be taken up. Isn’t that what’s being taken by God means. God wants us to walk steadily with Him now. The word steadily means continually or in an unwavering manner. You would agree if you are a believer, that you would want to walk steadily with him too.

How can we walk steadily with God? A couple of points would be.

Pray unceasinglyWait upon the lord to hear His voiceRead His word the bibleApply His word to your lifeObey his voice when he speaks to youStep out in faith

These are just a few things you can do. You are sure to walk with Him when doing these things. Wouldn’t it be wonderful to know God so well that he took you? I say that is what lovers are like. They get to know each other very well. That’s what God wants from us. To be lovers and friends. Treat him like your lover or friend today. He is waiting for your communion.

John 2: 2-5

When they started running low on wine at the wedding banquet, Jesus’ mother told him, “They’re just about out of wine.”

4 Jesus said, “Is that any of our business, Mother—yours or mine? This isn’t my time. Don’t push me.”

5 She went ahead anyway, telling the servants, “Whatever he tells you, do it.”

It stuck out to me today that Mary amazing calling in life was to raise the son of God. So you could imagine her special heart watching over this time in secret with God. And now He is 30 and they have a need at this wedding and she pushes her son forward to help them. She was really encouraging him you would say. Everyone needs encouragement and a mother who encourages them. I believe we can learn a lot from Mary.

If we would see God in our children and encourage them and release them, our children will do amazing things for the Lord. Everyone needs a mother who pushes them forward and activates them in God and the miraculous. Will you be that one who does that with those you mother or father? Even with spiritual children to. Lets release this next powerful generation.

Lets learn from Mary and do likewise.

Proverbs 28:25b

Trust in God brings a sense of well being.

I for one have struggled with trust in the past. Because of my decisions and experiences. But one thing God has really let me know is. He is faithful and reliable. Just think for a moment. How much has God confirmed His word or encouraged you over your time of being a Christian. Has He every failed you in anything? Your answer is probably no. In fact people may have failed you but God has not. He is the perfect person to put your trust in. And He is big enough for you to trust in to.

You may not understand what he is doing sometimes, but you can trust Him to not let you down. You watch how your love and peace change as you rest in trust with God. Make a list of all the times He has encouraged you in and came through for you in. And make a quality decision that Jesus is reliable. His love is unconditional and faithful.

Once you realize that He is faithful you will experience a sense of well being. His word says so. Plus you will know your not alone and you have the biggest help anyone could ask for. Bring your concerns and request to Him and watch how He takes care of everyone of your needs. If you struggle with trust make your request and watch as He proves Himself faithful to you. You wont be let down.

Song of Songs 5:4-7

But my lover wouldn’t take no for an answer, and the longer he knocked, the more excited I became. I got up to open the door to my lover, sweetly ready to receive him, Desiring and expectant as I turned the door handle.

Did you know that Jesus wont take no for a answer when it comes to having your love and affection. In Song of Songs this man would not take know for a answer when he desired his women. He was passionately overcome with desire for her. That is how a man operated when he is in love. He is a pursuer until he gets his lover and desire.

That's how God feels for you!! Today and everyday! He will not give up on loving you and pursuing you. He wont take no for a answer!!! Our only response should be excitement as we answer the door to His love. It’s the most amazing love story and love affair that is ever is to be written. God keeps note of your love story with Him. Its that important to Him. All your days were written in His book. It’s the best love story ever written to Him. Of how He captivated you and won your heart and saved you.

He is like the prince coming for His princess who has been in danger and bondage for too long. But He arrives just in time and rescues you and sweeps you off your feet. This is His love story for you. He loves you that much, and it will never stop for your whole life. Even if He has to rescue you again and again! He wont take no for an answer until He has you, undone in His love for Him. He knows He is a good catch and He wont let you pass him up.

Seek for Him with desire today, seek for Him with passion. He longs to embrace, hold you and dance with you all your days. He is head over heels in love with you.

Isaiah 43:1

Don’t be afraid, I’ve redeemed you. I’ve called you by name. You’re mine.

In this phase alone there is so much love and comfort. Do you hear it? This phase alone can settle all fears and calm all storm within you. God in love, is saying you “Don’t have to fear”. You belong to Him. If you belong to Him then He is the one who looks after you.

You don’t have to worry about your life. He is look after you completely. So when all seems to be going wrong. You can rest in the fact that your King loves you and has you in His care. He is so tenderly caring for you in all circumstance. Nothing is to big for Him or to small. He is your creator and loves you.

How comforting does that feel! He has called you by name and you belong to Him. If you do anything today, just mediate on this alone and you sure to have a great day. God has redeemed you and you are His.

Romans 12:12

Rejoice in our confident hope. Be patient in trouble, and keep on praying.

Some keys for living in Jesus.

Think for a moment, The Gospel is good news. Is it not? Think about it again. Does it make you happy? I bet you it does. See the joy you have from Christ. Rejoice in confident hope always.

Secondly, remember the good news and be patient in trouble. Remember things will eventually pass. And while being patient, keep on praying. If you do these things you are sure to thrive and grow in any season your in.

Joy breaks heaviness off your life, so mediate on His good news until it breaks. Think of all the good things He has done for you to. Pray about everything you’re concerned for. Hand over your cares to Him and pray in the spirit to always. These keys help in many situations.

Remember to be patient in trouble times, knowing that these things will pass. Remind yourself trouble times, are just a set up for increase and growth in love, joy, faith and perseverance. You will get double for your trouble.

Proverbs 22:11

One who loves a pure heart and who speaks with grace will have the king for a friend.

This morning the Lord highlighted this verse to me. It’s a favorite of mine and as you can see, that, in the New Testament it say similar. Only it says “the pure in heart will see God”.

God is causing such purity in the body of Christ right now. Because Father, Son and Holy Spirit are supremely pure. They are Pure Love, Love, Love. Unadulterated love. His love is so different to man’s and the world’s. Gods love has no strings attached to it. Its because, God is Love. It is who He is. I believe a revelation of this unquenchable love is coming into the church again and God is also going to the world with this amazing love. It’s extravagant and wild and uncontrollable. It has no limits; its not retrained and nothing can stand against it. “Its Pure Love!” The love that went to the cross for you!! The “love” that has now “resurrected and is unstoppable”. This Love you will know, this love will stand out.

This love is so seasoned with grace and has no string attached that everyone who receives Him and walks as He is, “will have Christ as there friend”. It is and will be the most holy and most beautiful of relationship’s. Almost like a sweet dance with your bridegroom I imagine it to be. Such a relaxing, trust in this beautiful love feast with your Pure King.

The tainted wont “last” in this love feast, but God wont stop there. No He is going to love you until you have given up all “taintedness and compromise” and replace with the “desire” of Him. You will be lovesick for Him. He will be your closest friend. And you will do many great things for Him, because He is the king and has given you the authority to do those things. As you have come under Him.

This pure relationship even bridal waltz will bring many to Him, as you shine with His radiant Love, “even from your face”. “People can tell, that your in love”. Its will be the glow of Love!! The glow of the Glory king being with you, and you being one with Him. You will have the king as your friend. Holding hands you will walk, sing, dance, and even run together. This blissfulness is your today as you come unto Him and seek this pure Holy One and Love. His name is Jesus. Your lover of your Soul. Come to Him. He loves you.

1 Corinthians 15:58

Therefore, my dear brothers and sisters, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labour in the Lord is not in vain.

In this life things aren’t always going to be easy, but it’s our job to always give ourselves to the work of the Lord. And stand firm

What is the work of the Lord?

Whatever you’re called to! I think we are all called to preach the gospel in some way. We are called to bear witness to Him and share our testimony. And when we are serving Him we are to give ourselves fully to what he has called us to.

We are all called to many different things, do those things you’re called to.Have no distractions in it.Give our best for our king. And in our serving Jesus we must stand firm in the faith, His truth and all we have believe in Him.

Jesus never promised it would be easy this walk, in fact he promised persecution with blessing. You will suffer persecution. The Gospel will always make people feel uncomfortable and your living will challenge them too. This is a good thing. So don’t stop serving the Lord and doing what is right, even if your not being accepted.

You standing firm even in opposition will not be in vain. Jesus went to the cross and you most likely we haven’t suffered that much in the flesh. Him going to the cross was not in vein. And you suffering in Christ will not be in vein to. We need to be willing to die for Jesus to. Paul said he died daily to himself and to his desires. Be encourage today, you’re not the only one who has to stand firm. You have many brother and sister doing the same and with much joy. It’s an honor to stand firm and give yourself fully to the lord.

Actually you will never feel more alive; then when your fully serving the Lord. So be encouraged. Keep serving Jesus with everything and stand firm in the truth. Let nothing move you. Your labour is not in vain. I’m in it with you to.

The lord has been highlighting the word swift to me for a while now. I I hear the Lord saying that things are going to happen so quickly in this season with God. He is redeeming lost things, lost time and lost opportunities.

He is doing a quick work in his believers because there is a quick work to be done.

This new language of the spirit you could say, and fast work is going to be easy to step into and you will hear easily what the Lord would have for you. It will be a easy thing because there is a big harvest to catch and you need to quickly flow with Him. And that, you will!

I get the word fusion as well. I believe God is bring such a unity and fusion and healing to the body in this time to, so we can be of one heart and one accord again. It’s focused for the harvest. God’s heart is very much for the lost. God is healing broken relationships and healing old wounds, where you wont even remember the hurt or pain any longer. It will be gone. This will happen as you get in your lane and your calling and move with His spirit. It will be a wild and triumphant ride into His glory and on His glory and for his Glory. Get ready, Stay ready and get others ready.

Psalms 18:11

And He rode upon a cherub, and flew; He flew upon the wings of the wind. 11 He made darkness His secret place; His canopy around Him was dark waters And thick clouds of the skies.

From the brightness before Him, His thick clouds passed with hailstones and coals of fire.

He made darkness His secret place. Hmmm. Did you know that your dark season can become your secret place. Here, you see that God used darkness as His secret place. That’s is one way to turn your circumstance around. Your dark night of the soul is where you can draw closer to Jesus. Your dark night is not a bad place. God turns all things for good for those who love God. (Romans 8:28)

So if your going through a dark season, it’s your opportunity to press in more and get more closer to Jesus. If the enemy can’t stop you from pressing in, you will become his treat. He doesn’t want you to know that your dark season can become your secret place. Cause when you realize this, he loses his power over you to intimidate you. You become his treat. Actually the enemy is scared of you realizing that about the dark place, cause the secret place is your very weapon against him.

In the secret place you will birth all your dreams and destiny not just for you, but for others to.

So don’t be afraid when you can’t sense Jesus anywhere and darkness all around. This is your chance to come into the secret place. Its an invitation to come closer to be with Him alone for some special hidden time together. You could call it, a date with Jesus. Stay there until your ready to come out. Embrace this time as a blessing. As night is like day to God and he is even there in the darkest place. He loves spending time with you 24/7

A reminder to is. He is your strong tower!!!!!

Proverbs 18:10

The name of the Lord is a strong fortress; the godly run to him and are safe.

Acts 16:15-16

One of them was Lydia from Thyatira, a merchant of expensive purple cloth, who worshiped God. As she listened to us, the Lord opened her heart, and she accepted what Paul was saying. She was baptized along with other members of her household, and she asked us to be her guests. "If you agree that I am a true believer in the Lord," she said, "come and stay at my home." And she urged us until we agreed.

It dawned on me this morning while listening to my devotions that in the hearing of the good news it wasn’t hard for Linda to get saved. She just accepted what she heard. I believe we are in a season where it is easy to get saved. People will just accept Him easily. Not just one in the family will be saved, but all of the family will be saved. God is restoring families in this hour.

So let your faith arise in this season as Jesus is going to do more then you can imagine. Let Him build your faith in the area of Harvest time. Cause harvest time is surely upon us. I pray you receive the gift of faith for big harvests today. Many blessings to you in Jesus name. xx

Acts 8: 26-28

As for Philip, an angel of the Lord said to him, “Go south[b] down the desert road that runs from Jerusalem to Gaza.” 27 So he started out, and he met the treasurer of Ethiopia, a eunuch of great authority under the Kandake, the queen of Ethiopia. The eunuch had gone to Jerusalem to worship, 28 and he was now returning. Seated in his carriage, he was reading aloud from the book of the prophet Isaiah.

Wow!!!! Can you see what influence Phillip had as he followed an angel? He got to minister to a person of high influence who has power to change much!! You could say. That man of influence could now if he wanted to change laws to honor God! All because Phillip followed and listen to Gods angel.

I believe there has been much fear about following angels just because the word says in

Colossians 2:18 Don’t let anyone condemn you by insisting on pious self-denial or the worship of angels,[e]saying they have had visions about these things. Their sinful minds have made them proud, 19 and they are not connected to Christ, the head of the body. For he holds the whole body together with its joints and ligaments, and it grows as God nourishes it.

If anyone even has an encounter of supernatural way of angels people are weary of them. But I believe that is a plot from the devil. Angels are God servants here to be helpers and minister to us. Look at Peter when he went to jail, if he had not had followed the angel he would not have got out of prison.

Acts 12:6-8

The night before Peter was to be placed on trial, he was asleep, fastened with two chains between two soldiers. Others stood guard at the prison gate. 7 Suddenly, there was a bright light in the cell, and an angel of the Lord stood before Peter. The angel struck him on the side to awaken him and said, “Quick! Get up!” And the chains fell off his wrists. 8 Then the angel told him, “Get dressed and put on your sandals.” And he did. “Now put on your coat and follow me,” the angel ordered.

9 So Peter left the cell, following the angel. But all the time he thought it was a vision. He didn’t realize it was actually happening.

So you see that God uses angels then and God does not change so He still uses them now. Yes we do not worship them, but if an angel appears to you and tells you to do something. I would obey if it lines up with scripture and your in Christ. These disciples were every much in Jesus so they could very much trust that Jesus was moving with them.

So if you believe in Jesus, you must believe that He will use angels to, to do His work. Ps they are always protecting you. Don’t reject your “could be miracle you need or set up for breakthrough”. Jesus is so powerful and so happy to help. And He will use angels.

Acts 6:8-12

Stephen, a man full of God’s grace and power, performed amazing miracles and signs among the people. 9 But one day some men from the Synagogue of Freed Slaves, as it was called, started to debate with him. They were Jews from Cyrene, Alexandria, Cilicia, and the province of Asia. 10 None of them could stand against the wisdom and the Spirit with which Stephen spoke.

11 So they persuaded some men to lie about Stephen, saying, “We heard him blaspheme Moses, and even God.” 12 This roused the people, the elders, and the teachers of religious law. So they arrested Stephen and brought him before the high council.

I was doing my devotions today and I came across what happened to Stephen. Stephen was a man filled with the spirit of God but he was stoned to death for his faith. In the above scripture you see how the freed Slaves obviously not free on the inside deliberately lied about him. It got me thinking. Some people don’t want to change or be challenged especially the insecure when they meet some one greater then them “you could say”.

As a Christian you will come across people who will say all kind of evil against you to appease there own conscience while they are under convictions. People will accuse you of all kinds of things even lied about you to avoid there own stuff and accept that they may be not right. Shame, guilt and insecurity can do some horrible things to people to make them not own there own stuff. I believe a lot of gossip comes from this place.

But here you see Stephen stood his ground with the truth about his faith and he was eventually stoned. Jesus said don’t worry about what we give up because we will receive a 100times more houses land and family in this life but with persecution. But that not is mentioning your reward in heaven either. The devil is on a rampage to kill, steal and destroy the church and just people in general. In the church he causes divisions and false allegations and much more to keep Jesus’s body from working together. When the church realise we are not fighting each other but are fighting the devil. We will be a great force on the earth. We need to stop fighting each other and start fighting together.

We need to take a stand in what we believe when other oppose us. We need to especially give an account when it comes to those who don’t believe the gospel of Jesus. “Even if it cost our lives”. As you see Stephen here before he died he said, “Forgive them Lord”. He was thinking of them while testifying not of himself. He spoke truth because he cared for them.

We need to do likewise no matter the cost. This life is temporal, the after life is eternal. Its heaven or hell. A loving person does not want anyone to go to hell. Would you be willing to die for someone else. Then preach the gospel in season and out of season, all need to hear and find salvation. There is salvation in no other name but Jesus.

Preach the cross, the death, the resurrection, Salvation in Him only, repentance and faith. There are people who need to hear it. Forget the cost, and persecution just love people today. There are great rewards for this, this life and eternally. Don’t preach the comfortable, or stay in the comfortable. Preach Christ and him crucified.

Acts 1:3

During the forty days after he suffered and died, he appeared to the apostles from time to time, and he proved to them in many ways that he was actually alive. And he talked to them about the Kingdom of God.

People have talked much about blind faith in the pass but as you read the scripture. Jesus gave His disciples much proof of who he was and they had doubted.

If you read the Gospels, the disciple didn’t even believe that He would rise from the dead. They all deserted Him. But Jesus had told them that He was going to die and rise again. But they didn’t believe at first.

Does that encourage you a bit? Have you ever been hard on yourself because you did have enough faith? Well I got good news for you. The disciple struggle to. But Jesus like it said in the above scripture gave them many convincing encounter to prove that He had risen from the Dead.

So, that’s why our salvation is a gift from Him. Jesus came to us! Even though we have been rotten you could say. God gives us the faith to believe. Why would we think He wouldn’t do that for us still today? Heb 11:1 says faith is being sure of what you hope for and certain of what you do not see. Or another translation says the evidence of things not seen. Evidence must means that God gave us proof somewhere for us to believe?

God is still into revealing himself today. He still does through signs and wonders and answers prayer and many healings. Even encounters. He does this through his servants: and through just about anything that He wants to use, to prove to you that He is alive from the dead. Jesus is kind, He gives you faith to believe.

“Especially for your destiny”. He has put the faith in you, for you to fullfill your destiny. He is not a hard task master who expect more from you then you can give. No! He is a good, good father and He is more excited about you fulfilling your destiny to reach others for Him as you are. But first of all, remember you are accepted in Him already before you have done anything for Him. He came to you because He wants you.

So be expectant to see Jesus speak to you through many signs and wonders and out of the box supernatural ways. He is always speaking. He wants to come to you this day and draw you to himself. In complete loving and pursuing faith He wants to come to you and give you. That is who He is. He is personal. You can trust Him.

If you don't believe today? Ask Jesus to reveal Himself to you today. He certainly will because He loves you.

Matthew 10:1

And he called to him his twelve disciples and gave them authority over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal every disease and every affliction.

If you’re a believer today, God has called you and given you authority in His name. This is what I have learnt lately is that, if I am submitted to Jesus, then He has given me the authority to uses His name to do His business.

You see, the authority does not come from me. No, it come from being His child and Him given me the authority to use His name. He has given me all authority over sickness, disease, death and all the devil throws at us.

We are no longer alone or defeated. Absolutely not!! We have the authority of our Dad and Lord Jesus. The bible actually says that nothing can touch us when we are in His light. It makes sense, Right? If you turn on a light all darkness disappears, right? How much darkness is left? None right. Unless, your light in you is darkness?

Are you living up to the gospel truth? Are you living according to Jesus standard? Because if you are, you have all authority in Him. If you aren’t living right, then the devil has reason to attack you because of the darkness in you and that will attack your authority in Christ. Jesus had authority cause he had nothing in common with the enemy. Do you have anything in common with the enemy? If so repent, ask for forgiven and strength to live for Jesus from now on. If you confess your sins he is faithful and just to forgive you your sins the word of God says. So receive it by faith and walk on into the light today.

There are people God wants to uses you to reach today and you need to be in the light and know you have Jesus power to use his name. He is sending you today. Be bold and pray for someone using Jesus name. All darkness will flee as you use the authority and name Jesus gave to you. They will get healed in Christ because Jesus has given you this authority in Him today. God Bless and praying you are used in Him powerfully to bring people to Christ

Proverbs 29:12

When a leader listens to malicious gossip, all the workers get infected with evil.

Well, if what you believe is not truth, maybe just cause you don’t have the whole story, then what you believe maybe “has become a lie”. Truth is so important. Jesus word is truth and if you want to know the truth, and how to live in the truth then read the word of God.

God’s word is the only reliable source because God cannot lie. None of us know all the truth, that’s why we must abide in the word each day to keep us in truth and living right. We don’t know the entire bible a once. Do you? We are always learning.

Everyone is a leader in there own way. Generally most people you may know who are younger then you, tend to view you as a leader.

If you hear something from someone and maybe not with 2 or 3 witness then in regard to the matter, its better to tuff it. But now, if you shared your info with another and it is not truth, you just made them a victim of your misjudgment and now they to may believe this lie. This can cause a whole heap of deception and division.

Do you see the power of a leader here? A leader can influence for good or bad. If a leader believes a lie they can then influence, all under them to believe that lie to. Do you see the WoW of becoming a leader? God holds those who look after people to a very high standard. As they can cause harm or Good.

Being a person of influence isn’t for the fainthearted. There is a strong accountability God holds those people to. He knows the power of a leaders influence and we have to walk in a Godly fear in regard to that.

So if you want to be some one of influence, follow the bible. Do what it says and keep doing what it says. Stay humble, admit you don’t know all things and are still learning and let the word of truth change you, to become like Jesus. Who was the best leader ever! And remember He came to serve, not to be served.

Keep your lips tight and speak the edifying stuff. And God is a good vindicator too. Other then that, don’t spread lies or gossip and “you will lead people well”.

If someone sins against you, go to them and talk, if they don’t listen. Grab someone else and go to them again. If they still don’t listen, go to the church. Don’t go to a few friends and never address the issue. If you address it head on you may well have won a lost brother or sister back.

I encourage you, be a unity maker so we can flow how God boby is suppose to flow. Its more powerful that way. God Bless.

Mark 10:46-52 (NLT)

Jesus Heals Blind Bartimaeus

46 Then they reached Jericho, and as Jesus and his disciples left town, a large crowd followed him. A blind beggar named Bartimaeus (son of Timaeus) was sitting beside the road. 47 When Bartimaeus heard that Jesus of Nazareth was nearby, he began to shout, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!”

48 “Be quiet!” many of the people yelled at him.

But he only shouted louder, “Son of David, have mercy on me!”

49 When Jesus heard him, he stopped and said, “Tell him to come here.”

So they called the blind man. “Cheer up,” they said. “Come on, he’s calling you!”50 Bartimaeus threw aside his coat, jumped up, and came to Jesus.

51 “What do you want me to do for you?” Jesus asked.

“My Rabbi,[a]” the blind man said, “I want to see!”

52 And Jesus said to him, “Go, for your faith has healed you.” Instantly the man could see, and he followed Jesus down the road.[b]

Well, in my devotions this morning I came across two powerful passages of two desperate people that Jesus answered and honoured. In this life sometimes, needy people can be pushed to the side and no one takes notice of them, right? But with Jesus, it’s different. Jesus loves when you take your need to him and even get desperate about your need. He is the only true source that can meet your needs. He is the one that won’t push you to the side.

As you can see in this passage, Bartimaeus had heard of Jesus and all he could do somewhere obviously, and a hope rose up that he could be healed and free by Jesus. Bartimaeus could of let all the other people discourage him from raising up and getting Jesus attention but instead it says he got louder and louder. He wasn’t going to let his chance of healing pass him by. Now that is desperation and God stopped and healed him. Have you ever been like that?

Another man is the Tax collector called Zacchaeus. He was a bad sinner but somewhere he must have heard of God goodness and in his pursue of something better he climb a tree to see Jesus. Jesus called of him from the tree and had a meal at his house. Zacchaeus got touched by Jesus and loved and in return he stopped sinning. (Luke 19:1-10)

When was the last time you got so desperate for Jesus that you did something outlandish as these things? The bible is full of people who were desperate. You see Hannah, Anne, the widow with Elijah, Jacob, and Samson, the friend who put their friend through the roof to get healed.

They’re just a few. If you have a need today please take it to Jesus or if you have a friend who has a need, help them to Jesus. Get desperate!! Be like the persistent widow who wearied the king with her request (Luke 18:1-8). Don’t let others get in the way of your miracle. You maybe one desperate moves away from you miracle. As you can see, Jesus delighted in all the people above and answered their request. He will answer yours today to. Jesus is willing!!

Get completely desperate and stay desperate. Once you’re free, get desperate to see others free. Bring them to the one who has healed you to. Jesus came to seek and to save all that are lost. Jesus was a friend of sinners and the sick. healthy people don’t need a doctor, sick people do. Jesus came to seek and to save them all.

Be Blessed and keep desperate your miracle is about to come!!

Psalms 84:1-4

1-2 What a beautiful home, God-of-the-Angel-Armies! I’ve always longed to live in a place like this, Always dreamed of a room in your house, where I could sing for joy to God-alive!

3-4 Birds find nooks and crannies in your house, sparrows and swallows make nests there. They lay their eggs and raise their young, singing their songs in the place where we worship. God-of-the-Angel-Armies! King! God! How blessed they are to live and sing there!

As a believer, Do you ever stop and admire what the Lord has done for you? In Christ God has created a resting place where we can enjoy Him and enjoy all He has given us to, in Him. Like this verse "Birds find nooks and crannies in your house, sparrows and swallows make nests there.They lay their eggs and raise their young", This specks volumes to me.

Just recently Jesus has transported us to a beautiful home in Christchurch, New Zealand. This scripture to me reminds me of how the Lord has given us this beautiful home and a beautiful place to raise my children in Him. Prior to coming here, I really wanted to homeschool my children and because of circumstance I wasn’t able to do that. But the Lord already told me that I needed to write my own curriculum for my children, to raise them up how, He wants them to be raised. Being lead by the Holy Spirit, to do something new.

In Australia it looked like I wasn’t going to be able to do that. But then a sudden change came and we were not going to be able to afford to send my children to private school. But than other change, a bigger change came to. What looked like a deficit started to turn out for a blessing. Not only did the water dry up where we were so to speak, but God began to relocate us to another nation very quickly!

In this new location I could homeschool my children. Not only that, but with the laws in this land, you had to write your own curriculum to do homeschool. So God, new in advance, that we would be moving to Christchurch before I did. And even started preparing me for the change.

Another testimony is; I only completed year 7 in school and to get accepted to do homeschool in this nation, you have to do a, quite big essay like application. All my inadequacy could of rose up and say I could not do that. But instead I was able to stand on His word and by faith I did it without any help but Him. So if he gives you a promise then he will help you achieve it.

Now I have an amazing opportunity to raise my children and enjoy family in Him in a beautiful home here in another nation. The lord has great plans for us all. And I know they’re not little plans. But one thing remains, like the sparrow who finds a home for her family in the presence of God; Is just the same as a person finding a place and home for your family in God and in His presence is just as important to God.

God is a Family Guy and He cares about the family unit. You, raising your children for God is not a deficit, but it is actually creating a legacy for generations to run with. Family matters. So before you run off and save the world, remember to bring your family with you. Don’t forget the important things. Jesus said let the little children come to me and do not forbid them. We can learn a lot from the children. Jesus said the kingdom belongs to such as these. Look how they trust, forgive and live in Joy. “That’s only a few things!”

So for all your work in the Lord remember that where God has placed you is a resting place for your family to. Enjoy your family and your home because if you are in God you are, at home with Jesus and His presence to. What a great atmosphere to raise your children in.

Sing for Joy in all God has done! Worship Him! Your children will follow. Happy Day to you!

Luke 5:16

But despite Jesus instructions, the report of his power spread even faster, and vast crowds came to hear Him preach and to be healed of all diseases. But Jesus often withdrew to the wilderness for prayer.

I believe Jesus got his strength from the secret place from the father. As you see above, Jesus was getting very famous you could say. You don’t see Him getting more busy and lapping up the opportunity to preach. You don't se Him getting caught up in the image of it all. No! I believe He is our example on how to sustain a place of influence, and it not by taking on more speaking engagements and working only harder.

Jesus would not have been about to sustain what he was called to if he didn’t withdraw into the secret place often. That was His secret for success. It was to spend time with the father even while He getting more busy. I suppose it’s about keeping the main thing, "the main thing". God is the main thing, Jesus is the main Thing. And it all about Him, not the fame, not the influence, not the power. If you loss your secret place you will very quickly lose your strength. As it all about following Him. And doing what you do, drawing from Him.

Yes! Reach people! Yes! Love them well. In doing that, remain faithful to put God first in your own life, or else you may end up having nothing to give and just get burnt out. Don't get caught up in the fame of it all and lose your secret place. He loves you to much to share your affection with others or distractions. He is jealous for your time to.

Follow Jesus example today and spend time with the father. Like many are saying, fruitfulness comes from intimacy. And its certainly right.

Ps If you wait upon the Lord you will always renew your strength too. Isaiah 40:31

John 1:46-51

46 “Nazareth!” exclaimed Nathanael. “Can anything good come from Nazareth?”

“Come and see for yourself,” Philip replied.

47 As they approached, Jesus said, “Now here is a genuine son of Israel—a man of complete integrity.”

48 “How do you know about me?” Nathanael asked.

Jesus replied, “I could see you under the fig tree before Philip found you.”

49 Then Nathanael exclaimed, “Rabbi, you are the Son of God—the King of Israel!”

50 Jesus asked him, “Do you believe this just because I told you I had seen you under the fig tree? You will see greater things than this.” 51 Then he said, “I tell you the truth, you will all see heaven open and the angels of God going up and down on the Son of Man, the one who is the stairway between heaven and earth.[a]” New Living Translation (NLT)

I felt to share this scripture above as there is so much in it for us in regard to our inheritance as believers. Did you know we have the same access that Jesus had to the father who knows all? Did you know its normal to walk in the supernatural or you could say, two realms at once, Heaven and Earth?

Well in the above scripture it says that Jesus is the stairway between heaven and earth. Now if you are in Him you have access to heavens knowledge and provision just like he did. You are now seated with Him in heavenly places like Ephesian 1 says. You have been brought into a different realm where you now live from heaven to earth or from an above place being victorious. You have been transferred from death to life, from sickness to health, from lack to all your needs meet, from defeat to authority. That’s just a few things! Jesus brought you near to God the father by his blood and you can come boldly to Him everyday, with every need. He actually wants you to. He says cast all your cares on him cause he cares. And to ask and keep on asking for all that concerns you.

Well that is just what you get in Christ, but did you know that the way Jesus started his ministry was with power and the use of giving a “word of knowledge for Nathanial”? Did you know that Jesus has given you the same power to be a witness now? Jesus said that we would even do greater things them him. And that’s the truth!!!

I personally love words of knowledge as it’s the one thing a person can’t ague with, when you share with them the secret things of there life they cant deny that you must of got it from God. Most people are pretty much sold when you accurately told them about there life. Many times it has faithfully opened up them for an encounter with Jesus.

I share this today because this gift and other gifts are not for the gifted. They are for anyone who would eagerly desires it. And in proverbs it says that the “ a gift makes way for the giver”. Meaning when you activate or give this gift away (Use it) it will open up doors you couldn’t any other way. The gift and love behind it has a way of reaching into others hearts like no other.

So I encourage you to eagerly desire it today. Jesus lived this way and as you can see through Him we have the same access to the father to now who know all secret things to now. Ask for it, than step out and take a risk. You wont know if you can fly, if you never jump out into the wind. Its your time to walk in 2 realms like Jesus did and bring His kingdom on earth as in heaven.

“Personal testimony”

I was in Kmart one time and felt draw to talk to a young girl who was pregnant. So I thought I could bless her with some baby stuff cause I had a bit. I was friendly to her and shared I could help her out. She told me to wait a minute and she would come back. She took a bit and I nearly thought of going but I waited. She came back and we talked. I asked her if she believes in Jesus and she said it wasn’t her think/she didn’t believe. She I said “well let me get a word from God for you”. I step out and shared the secrets of her life. She started crying, I may have to. She began to open up to me and she had had heaps of traumas so I asked if I could prayer for her. She said yes. So I prayed for healing from trauma and Gods loves that sort of thing. So here an unbeliever let me prayer for her twice. Then I said God is after you. Do you have a bible? She said funny that, She told me that just last night a friend of her mum’s came over and prayed for her, and that she haven’t had anyone prayer for her for years. Her mum’s friend just gave her a bible last night. I was overwhelmed with God goodness so was she.

I tried to keep contact with her but we some how didn’t get to but I often prayed for her. Well all of a sudden ages later, I get a message from someone asking me if my name was Natalia and did I prayer for her in a shopping centre one time. She went on to say that she had had the baby and was in a very bad place and was wanting to take her life and she was scared. But she went to sleep and dream of me and she said that when she saw me in the dream peace came all over her and she felt all would be alright. And she needed to contact me. She said she wanted to take her life but she believes God didn’t want her to. That’s why she dreamt of me.

Now that is the power of word of knowledge my friends. You don’t always see the fruit, but in there bad moments God will use these this to bring them to Him. Yet again I couldn’t keep contact with her. But she said herself that Jesus wanted her to live. God is good. Keep her in your prayers to. Her name is Janine.

Proverbs 21:8

Mixed motives twist life into tangles;

pure motives take you straight down the road.

There is much talk of keeping pure atm. Well lets face it, if you don’t you wont see God. The bible says the pure heart will see God, and who may ascend the hill of the Lord? Only those with clean hands and pure heart.

So mixed motives will definitely twist your life into tangles. The moment you realize you have them, it best to start untangling your life straight away with Jesus. You don’t want to be a tangled mess and end up being deceived by it. Often mixed motives can get you deceived. You could say, “I don’t deserve to be treated like that”, so there I have an excuse to stay where I am.

Don’t go for excuses in life, they only keep you in your mess. The best thing is to fact up to the truth and start changing you heart to line up with truth. Yes, even if it hurts! Its not always easy but you will be a better person also. Often those caught in wrong motives are missing something and deep down and they know.

So get honest with God with all your mess if this speaks to you, because God already knows all your stuff anyway! He is the only one that can lead us in truth and untangle our mess. Holy spirit is your best friend and comforter. When you do this you will be free with nothing hanging over your back, and it will take you straight ahead. You will find yourself being promoted for the right reasons, not the wrong. This is the true way to success.

This has always such with me. “If someone get to a place of influence not by consistent love, you never really succeed anyway”. Keeping pure is the only way. Purity looks like perfect love, it looks like Jesus. So definitely keep your love on. Agape, unconditional love.

Luke 2:37-37

and then was a widow until she was eighty-four.[a] She never left the temple but worshiped night and day, fasting and praying. 38 Coming up to them at that very moment, she gave thanks to God and spoke about the child to all who were looking forward to the redemption of Jerusalem.

I love this scripture! This is one of the first accounts of a woman in the bible, beside Mary and Elizabeth and the linage of Jesus. Her name was Anna. And this is what she did "She keeps talking to everyone about Jesus". Another translation says she spoke to everyone. I believe us women are called to not stop talking about the Lord and keep testifying. Maybe that’s why us women can talk. Lol. Maybe God made us to tell the world, all about Him.

You see another story in the bible I can think of is, the women at the well (john 4:4-26), "which I think is prophetic in its self". Jesus is the real well! Once she encountered Jesus she when and told all the man in the town about Him. She is another who couldn’t stop talking about all she had witnessed and what Jesus had done.

I believe the making of an amazing women of God, is a women being one of devotion, worship, prayer, praise, fasting, and the word of God and of testifying of her king. These women were all of these. You see Mary the mother of Jesus when she encountered the angel and the calling she was giving, she said:

Luke1: 46-52

Mary responded,

“Oh, how my soul praises the Lord. 47 How my spirit rejoices in God my Savior! 48 For he took notice of his lowly servant girl, and from now on all generations will call me blessed. 49 For the Mighty One is holy, and he has done great things for me. 50 He shows mercy from generation to generation to all who fear him. 51 His mighty arm has done tremendous things! He has scattered the proud and haughty ones. 52 He has brought down princes from their thrones and exalted the humble

What an amazing way to respond to her calling. She also keeps all the miracles in her heart and thought about them often. Wow. Now I believe these quality in all these women make a truly amazing women of God.

How are you responding to God today? Are you praising and rejoicing in Him that he has called you? Are you being sold out in love with Him, seeking Him first in everything? Are you testifying to His wonders and goodness in your life to everyone? I believe us women were born to testify. Maybe that’s why God made us to talk so much. Maybe He created us to talk all about Him and testify to His goodness to everyone. Obviously we are His bride and as women we know how to get wrapped up in love with our bridegroom!

Be you and rejoice in our Lord today. Share His goodness with all that you see. You were born to testify of Him. One woman can make a difference and together we are a great force.

Proverbs 16:4a

God made everything with a place and purpose.

I love God and His sovereignty. Yesterday at church a prophetic word came out about us as a body getting into rank upon rank and going forward side by side. In other words, every one knowing their part, doing it and going forward together in unity.

As you can see, (scripture above) my reading for that day was exactly that! Not only in my Proverbs but also in my reading of the bible in chronological order. I was up to the end of Nehemiah and it is all about people being in their certain places and positions in the temple, to serve the Lord. I thought, "this is the word of the Lord"! I know God is for reading His word systemically because He gives me the word of the Lord everyday. He seriously does give me a word or strategy!

Well apart from the confirmation, while listening to Nehemiah especially 12-13, I discovered that there were people that were assigned to be worshippers in the temple, others to guard the safety of the temple and gates, and even people to look after presenting the bread. Interest hey, did you know that there are people just called to worship? Or just called to serve at tables so to speak, like what they did in the Acts ch6? You may feel called to pray for the safety of the church or for a certain people group. Not everyone is called to be like a Billy Graham if you know who he is. He is a world wide Preacher/evangelist. There are people called to just serve at tables in the house of God and that position is just as important as every other service.

So I believe it is very true that the Lord wants his people to know their place and purpose. As a body, we would not be able to function properly if everyone was a preacher and there was no one to just feed the people and meet there needs. We are one body which functions and moves powerfully when all the parts work together. Now, I’m not saying that a preacher shouldn’t help people and not feed people to. No. Because real love is an action not just words. But what I am saying is this, everyone just needs to know where he or she are called to and do it. There are no better positions in the kingdom they are all service to God, not to self-glory “when done with the right motive”.

I am reminded just now of a scripture in 2 Tim 2:21 and it is about vessels in a house, some less expensive and others that are more expensive and for noble use. In that scripture Paul’s says that we should cleanse ourselves from the iniquity and uncleanness. I believe that represents worldliness and comparisons to. If you do this you will be a vessel for noble use, “well of great expense”. So what is he saying? Everyone is called to a noble calling and everyone gets the same opportunity. Every job is a noble job and especially the things that know one sees. Those ones, done in secret get and deserve more honors to.

I believe it is time to get serious with God and seek Him for your part on this earth. Your part won’t look like everybody else’s. Your calling is unique so there is no need to compete or try and copy someone else’s. Jesus has a fresh unique calling for you. Seek Him in His word and prayer and He will show you what it is. Or seek a leader to help you point it out too. You may have a prophecy already, just ready to activate in your life. Quite often you can discover what you’re called to if you ask yourself these few questions.

1. What am I passionate about?

God has wired you already for your calling and your passion can show you what you would love to do

2. What makes me cry?

What moves your heart and makes you cry is what you have a heart of God for. And everything needs to be done from the heart of God. You’re called to make a change in that area.

3. What do I hate?

What you hate is often what God wants you to be the solution for and pray into. Ask yourself these few question and you sure to discover what he put you here for.

Nehemiah 8:14

As they studied the Law, they discovered that the LORD had commanded through Moses that the Israelites should live in shelters during the festival to be held this month.

Have you ever felt bad for having fallen back in an area you have been trained in? Something that you really had victory over, and then some time later you realize that you have somehow forgotten the truth in that area you once grasped so well. Or the revelation you once had that was so real and a part of you ? Maybe found yourself somehow ‘missing the mark’?

Well guess what? So did the Israelites. Here we see they had done the same thing. In this verse in Nehemiah we see that somehow over the years they had forgotten a quite obvious part of the Law namely, ‘The festival of shelters’. Well you would think it would have been quite an obvious oversight. I mean they were supposed to live in shelters throughout this time of festival shelters. Kind of seems like a pretty obvious miss you would think, yes?

I love how in the old testament God would instruct his people to celebrate the things he had done for them, by instructing them to demonstrate a spiritual concept or victory in a natural way. Its as though he knows if we keep something before our eyes, by demonstrating it helps us to remember.

We see in this particular scripture, they were studying the Law when they discovered this truth they were missing. This is why I believe it is so important to read the word daily and study it. You see, even the most learned of people need to keep the word before them or they can somehow forgot things they have heard and previously learned. But aside from this we can discover new truths and keep growing. Lets face it, none of us have arrived, or finished the course. There is always more to learn.

Jesus said in John 8:31-32 “If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed. And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”

There is much talk of abiding in Jesus of late, and I believe this is what He meant in this instruction. You see the word of God IS God, so abiding in the word is abiding in Him. The same as we see in this scripture in Nehemiah. We discover truth as we read the word of God, just as they did. The word of God can bring us back into alignment with His will when that is what we are needing. So a key to keeping free and staying free is to read, study and meditate on his word daily.

So in summery, you may relate to having missed it somehow in what you have learned previously. But you mustn’t be discouraged. Even the Israelites somehow missed this obvious part to their feast. Therefore once again, there is no condemnation in Christ. However let’s be encouraged to have a daily reading schedule to read the bible in context. Not to read only the parts we enjoy and make us feel all warm and fuzzy. It’s wise to read the whole bible, of course in a way we choose, butt read it we must. As it gives us a better understanding of who God is. Plus our Lord speaks to us through reading all of His word, not just parts. There are things He wants to teach us daily that can be learned throughout the WHOLE of the bible. Like I said, the word of God is indeed God himself. Lets be encouraged to abide in His truth (His word) so we can be set free and then stay free! My prayer and desire is that you grow in your relationship with Him. Always. Amen

Proverbs 14:15

The gullible believe anything they are told: the prudent sift and weigh every word. (The message bible)

As believer we have an internal compass called the Holy Spirit. The bible says that, the anointing will teach us all things and will lead us into truth. Have you ever been listening to something or someone and something just didn’t seem right? Well that could very well be your internal compass getting you to go a little deeper with Jesus, with what your hearing. But sometimes it maybe a well-respected person with huge credibility you say? Well we are not to believe every word we hear as that would be gullible and foolish.

I know we have all done this especially as new Christian when you don’t know much about the Lord; you tend to believe everything we hear. Which is great to have that simple faith, God loves that but you will soon realizes that not all you hear was correct according to scripture and Gods standards.

You see, God knows the motives and intents of the heart and sometimes we at face value just don’t see our own motive, or others towards us. Our own heart can be deceptive the bible says. That’s why we have the Holy Spirit to guide us into all truth. Some people mean well but they might have motives for your life that are just not the same as Gods motives for you. They do mean well and have your best interest in heart but we can’t rely on others input only for our lives. They don’t have your Holy Spirit inside them to compass you. By all means there is a place for people speaking into your life especially when it lines up with scripture. That’s pretty plain in what is right and wrong.

But we are called to sift and weight all that is being said to us. To sift means to put (a fine or loose substance) through a sieve so as to remove lumps or large particles or examine (something) thoroughly so as to isolate that, which is most important. So in other words it means to sort out what is right and wrong, to make a difference between them. Even well meaning Christians will get things wrong and the humble will admit that. Even Christian preachers have openly said that, one of their old messages they now disagree with. People are fallible but the word of God and the Holy Spirit lined up with the word are not fallible. The bible says rightly divide the word of truth, as deception will be rampant in these last days.

The prudent is someone who is acting with or showing care and thought for the future. God knows the plans He has for you and it for good, a hope and a future. You see God knows! So I conclude that the best thing to do in life is have an intimate relationship with the Holy Spirit and seek God through the Word and prayer for your life. If your at a cross road, it is ok to ask God to confirm what he is saying to you. There is wisdom with many counsellors to, so get a number of peoples advise, not just one or two people in your immediate circle. Outsiders often give good perspective to, perspective you don’t always see. And my favourite prayer is to ask Holy Spirit to keep me in truth and keep revealing truth to me so I don’t get deceive. I know my freedom and the freedom of others depends on me knowing the truth. Ps. his word is truth and it will set you free.

Judges 6:14

The Lord turned to him and said, “Go in the strength you have and save Israel out of the Median’s hands. Am I not sending you?”

This is a wonderful thing that the Lord told Gideon. In it you realize that the Lord doesn’t require of you anything that you don’t already possess. Obviously Gideon didn’t think he was strong enough to defeat the Median’s but God said that the strength that he had was enough.

Isn’t that wonderful to know, that the God of the universe, when he asks something from you to do he says “go in the strength you have”, knowing that if he asks it of you, then you have the strength to do it.

Even if you think you don’t have that strength or ability like Gideon did. You can count that if he has made a promise to you in life, then he has already given you the ability to do it. He wouldn’t have asked or promised it if he knew you couldn’t deliver on it.

Isn’t that wonderful to know we have a God who believes in us? I can share personally from experience that God believes in you more then anyone, even more then you believe in yourself. God sometimes throws you in the deep end in life, and it's not because He is cruel but because He knows how much you can actually achieve, handle and overcome. He believes in you more then you think. He is your best cheerleader and proud Dad on the sideline of life saying, “that’s my son or daughter, look at them go”

He loves your wholeheartedness and your willingness to risk, jump and obey Him even when you have felt feeble. He isn’t shocked by your fumbling’s, No! He just says, “It doesn’t matter, Get back up, you still got this, remember I promised”

You may not think you have it in you, but the Lord says, Go in the strength you have and save Israel from the median’s hand. Am I not sending? Ps. He chooses you for the mission. You can do it!

Have you ever wondered if angels are real? They are kinder like God, they are there but you can't see them. Its true they really are there... You can sometimes feel them with you to. Some people have seen them in there dreams and in the natural. I have seen them in the spirit very often and heard there activity and even once heard one speak to me.

You may think I'm crazy, but the truth is i wouldn't be here if it wasn't for God's angelic protection on my life. And thats serious! I once was in a very dangerous sitution. My kids and my life were in danger and all of a sudden my daughter told me that her angels were here. Boy did that bring me a lot of peace and saved our lives. I knew there was a God in heaven who cared and was looking out for me. It changed the whole situation.

On many occasions now i have seen them in the spirit, heard or felt the presences of angels. It is true. God loves us as believers and he gives us angelic protection all the time. You may not feel anything at all but they are there. We don't worship them at all but i tell you, I'm thankful God has a whole army of them fighting for us and for those who will inherit salvation every moment.

Psalms 91 is all about Gods angelic protection on our lives. He says that they will bear you up lets you dash our foot against a stone. So they are active to keep us from harm.

When we believe the word and speak the word the angels attend to his word to preform it. God loves hearing us speak his word back to him, plus when we hear his word it build our faith to.

So whatever you are going through, remember you are not alone and God has sent his angelic host to always look after you. Read Psalm 91 today and be encourage that God is for you and has you covered. Even covered by his angelic protection. I will share some more testimonies of angelic encounters through page at time. Only because i want you to know God is real and so are his angel and Jesus loves you.
