We are blown away by what God is doing!

By
It's a beautiful winters day here but its reaching 28 degrees so nice and warm for us.  We have had just a blessed time since writing last.  The Lord has healed our bruised bodies and we are all functioning at full capacity.  Since arriving on the Saturday night the Lord has to this stage opened three opportunities to preach and impart its just been amazing.  We have been hosted by Holiness Union Church, Pastor Israel who seems to be one of the key men that the Lord has led into our lives.  He has fingers in many pies and has opened many opportunities for us to preach and minister in different places over the next week which is just amazing.  But last Sunday firstly we preached in his own church.  The Spirit was moving powerfully and we were straight away released in the power of God, people being touched and set free.  Jim spoke on sonship in Christ, no longer a slave but a son.  Prior to that God has released me imparting to people the anointing and power of God.  It was such a blessed time.

In the evening the door opened for us to minister into another church called Bible Life Ministries, Pastor MacDonald.  This was a really interesting time.  Jim spoke on the story of Joseph and the inheritance that was to come but first he had to walk a journey and for people not to give up in the journey.  In the spirit there were huge walls but the Lord brought breakthrough and we saw people set free from demonic strongholds.  It was really fascinating as we hadn't seen people being thrown about quite like that so much as the demonic tried to flee.  God is strengthening us with a courage and a boldness which is just fantastic.  That night people were set free and I just loved seeing in peoples faces as they were set free an acceptance of themselves in God. 

Then yesterday during the day Jim and I were blessed with some down time and a ride out to a local private game park  We saw elephants, zebra, campala, warthogs, baboons to name a few.  It was great.

In the evening Pastor Israels' pastors and leaders all came together and we had another time just with them and we saw the spirit moving powerfully setting them free and releasing joy.  It was wonderful to see such a refreshing come for them all.  We were so blessed by this. 

We are continually blown away in seeing how God has opened doors for us.  Here we are in Africa previously not knowing anything and here we are staying in someones home ministering all over the place and being shown around.  It is just Gods provision and blessing and the bonus to be used by God to set people free is just awesome. 

Tonight we are preaching at another local church in a village and tomorrow Pastor Israel is putting us on the bus to go to Francistown which is about  two hours north of here where two churches are coming together for us to minister to tomorrow night.  Then on Thursday we are on another bus heading west for about 7 hours to Maun where we are being hosted by other churches and preaching in different places there, all of which we are unsure of yet but we are just being told where we are going and when.  Its just amazing.

So that is getting you up to date with things as to what is happening and where we are.  The Lord spoke to us this morning out of Isaiah 55:10  "For as the rain comes down and the snow from heaven, And do not return there, but water the earth, And make it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower and bread to the eater, so shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth.  It shall not return to Me void, but it shall accomplish what I please, And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it."
The Lord is giving us seed to sow and someone in NZ gave a word to us about the ground being fertile, well last night a lady gave me a picture and she saw the seed sprouting quickly so we were greatly encouraged.  We know the Lord is giving us seed to sow as we have nothing but what he gives us, but it is being sown and will produce a crop and we ask you to stand with us and pray for multiplication.  2 Cor 9:10  "Now may He who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food, supply and multiply the seed you have sown and increase the fruits of your righteousness while you are enriched in everything for all liberality which causes thanksgiving through us to God."


All of this is causing thanksgiving back to God and we are just so blessed by this as this is His testimony which in turn gives thanks to Him.  Thank you everyone and please continue to stand with us in prayer each day as he opens doors.

Sleeping while driving?

By
How many of you have ever driven a car and you become so sleepy that you either need to pull over and sleep or you will crash or you continue to drive only to find yourself swerving to avoid a car that comes upon you or even worse find yourself in a crash. The other day I had a vision where I was preaching and the whole back row in the gathering of men were asleep while I was preaching.   And today I had another vision of driving a car while so sleepy that it was going to cause an accident. This is what is like for many in our spiritual walk in the Lord, we are going around in our lives spiritually asleep and if we continue to do so will have a serious crash at some point not only causing damage to yourself but to other people who you may not even know.  Men particularly I challenge you to take a look at your lives to see whether you are hearing from the Lord, whether you are responding truthfully to the Holy Spirit and living as He would ask you to live or whether

6 legged sheep???

By
In the weekend I saw a vision of a sheep that had six legs. And what I believe the Lord is saying, there are many sheep, (followers of Christ), but they are trusting in their own strength and not in mine.  When we trust in our own strength and abilities we forfeit the grace that can be ours, the enabling that comes from stepping out in faith in the impossible, the testimonies that give God the glory rather than the expectation of what should be because we have put our hand to  something.  God is the God of the impossible and in order for the miracles, the testimonies, we need to be a people that step out in what we can't do and allow God to come in and do the impossible.   That may simply be asking the Lord to help you to forgive someone that has hurt you so much, to getting on a plane with no finances because the Lord has asked you to, to continue to stay in a job/church/marriage/relationship you don't want to because that is where God has placed you, to praying for a

"A man's enemies will be the members of his own household" Matt 10:36

By
Recently we have been pondering how to deal with situations in our family that don't line up with the word. What action do we need to take?  Are we being too harsh?  Do we accept the behaviour or be considered by those around us as "too radical" or "too black and white"?  "Where is grace in all of this? How do we love the sinner but hate the sin?  What about forgiveness?  What is the role of discipline?   What makes that sin any worse than lying?  What is true love?  And there are a lot more questions going through the mind in how to work through this and know God's will and desire for the situation and the person. And firstly to say we have not come to any conclusions and are growing and learning day by day in this but I want to throw it out there. In Matt 10:34-39 says "Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth.  I did not come to bring peace, but a sword.  For I have come to turn "a man against his father, a daughter

Prophetic pictures: Burnt Flesh, Big Fish, Expansion, Signs and Wonders

By
A couple of weeks ago I have had several visions which I believe is a prophetic picture of what God is currently doing and what He is about to do.   Fi rstly, I saw ahead on the highway a huge explosion with black smoke billowing up and as I came to it I saw people had been burnt and I could smell the smell of burnt flesh.   Our God is consuming fire (Heb 12:29).  His love is in the fire.   Something the Lord has been talking to us about is the fall of the acts of the flesh, the strength of man.  This vision I saw was a representation that of the fire of Gods love is coming and going to burn away the things of the flesh, the things that were not of the Lo rd, the things that may have been good in their time but today is a new day.   Perhaps the familiar things we are so used to that we don't even know it's there.  The way we might speak, the way we might act, the way we might respond that are familiar with us but aren't necessarily of the Kingdom nature we have in Christ.

Obedience and Commitment are big things in Gods Kingdom

By
Reading in Acts 7 this morning the story through Stephen of Abraham being told by God to " Leave your country and your people and go the the land I will show you"   So he left the land of the Chaldeans and settled in Haran. After the death of his father, God sent him to this land where you are now living.  He gave him no inheritance here, not even a foot of ground.  But God promised him that he and his descendants after him would possess the land, even though at that time Abraham had no child." As I reflected on this and the journey of Abraham stepping out in faith into a land that he received no inheritance in but a promise of what was to come for his descendants of which we live in the fruit of that, I thought of todays generations in which often is only doing things that we want to do or that will benefit us personally as we live for 'today' not worrying about tomorrow.  A sense of if it feels good then do it, if it doesn't then we will move on -  perhap

Bus crash in Botswana - Rejoice in the Lord always.

By
Well we had an interesting introduction to Botswana - yes a bus crash.  It was amazing and most probably the worst accident I have been in to this day (but not bad I am sure to some of you out there) but thankfully the Lord looked after us and protected us. The front tyre of the bus blew out travelling about 120ks per hour and the bus tipped from side to side as it careered off the road into the bus.  How it never hit cars and no one was killed we will never know apart from the protection of the Lord.  We were flown all over the place but thankfully only came out with a few cuts and bruises.  It was literally a miracle that we didn't roll.  One girl was thrown out of the bus in a serious condition, others hurt in various ways but it could have been a whole lot worse.  The Lord gave us peace and we went about praying for people and was blessed especially by one lady who felt the fire of God healing her so much so that she was laughing and crying all at the same time.  Two days ear
