Update

What to say - its been a long time!

I seem to have put most of our stuff on the now Glory Release Ministries facebook page so if you want to catch up on anything over the past few months

then thats the place to go.

But perhaps now the times are a changing again, another new season. Is it time to head into a website so that more people can access what the Lord is doing but

will the blog surfice? I am so not up with things and don't want to go into too much depth on the whole computer scene because its not my calling or gifting, rather

the Lord would have me spend my time more on him, his word and releasing what he has given me rather than websites and the like but he has the people to do all that so if you are gifted in this area and want to help - would love to hear from you?! :)

Anyway as you know our heart is and calling is for a "Prophetic Preaching Healing Ministry" and it seems the Lord has us renovating the house 'church" of God but we seem to get the toilets and the bathrooms, the places where there is a need for repentance and cleansing. I have learnt over the past few years that this seems to be an area of the house that is the last to do, the area that needs the work but there are not many who want to do it and yet it seems to be the area that the Lord has given us to do. Like the hidden things sometimes are the most important of the body for the whole body to function correctly. But over the past years I have learnt that actually the churches don't want that call for repentance and cleansing and yet without it the body can't function in fullness and in the plan that God had best designed his body to function it. But I believe that now is the time where the line in the sand is being drawn. I believe that now is the time that you/we need to choose whom this day who we will serve. We are no longer in a time that you can sit on the fence but the Lord is returning for his bride and that unless you are dressed in the appropriate clothes for the wedding feast you will be kicked out of the wedding feast.

So let me encourage, please respond to the quiet small voice of the Lord, and sometimes the loud banging voice of the Lord and what he might be saying to you so that you can come into everything he has for you - do not be like Pharoh where he hardened his heart but keep your heart soft and respond to what he might be saying knowing that he only has good for you and your generations. His desire is that none shall be lost, his desire is for you to know his heart for you, his blessing for you, his freedom for you, his joy for you because everything he made was good and his plans are for good. Sometimes we have to go through the fire to understand this and so we need to give thanks for the fire - to give thanks in all circumstances even when we don't like it but knowing and believing by faith that everything works together for good for those who love the Lord and are called according to his purpose (Rom 8)

With love

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

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, ...

"I am ruined for the ordinary"

“I am ruined for the ordinary” A statement that can possibly be to some, come from a place of judgement, or it can be from a place of there is more in the Kingdom of God that I am yet to experience or understand, revelation that I have tasted of something that actually shows me that I have not tasted of anything yet. A place where there is such a contentment and joy in what I have seen and longed to see and yet a revelation that there is way more "beyond what I think, ask and imagine" (Eph 3:20) and one that spurs me on to seek and discover all the fullness that could be ours in the Kingdom of God. When we as Christians see other Christians going places or experiencing things that we don’t understand or perhaps we have not yet moved in, we can either become jealous of that person and judge and bring them down to our level, exclude them from our lives or we can choose to be excited by what is happening and be encouraged and spurred on in the Lord for the more than ca...

Is the church a cafe? Did you go to be served or to serve?

I had a dream this morning where I saw that I was working in a cafe. It was busy, there were people coming and going and we didn’t have everything we needed, we still needed a barista, some customers were helping cook the steak for the hamburgers that Jim was cooking as Jim was rushed off his feet. We needed people to serve the people coming in as I was dealing with all the different ones coming and going. I saw that people were sitting down in a seat but actually weren’t there to get food, they were just using the seats even though they were not using the cafe. I saw a council officer come in to inspect things and she saw we still needed a barista and she knew people and was going to help us to find one. There was an older man there who was smoking a cigar and I was keen to have a drag off his cigar. People were wandering through our private home at the back of the cafe. The cafe remained open because people kept coming. But I was shown that if I did...

Ponderings today 16 Dec

Whilst we may not agree with everything that is preached from the pulpit, there is always something that we can learn either about the Lord or about ourselves and our responses to it. Lets not be a people to whom are easily offended and move on without learning what it is that the Lord would have us learn in the different situations. I read a wonderful scripture this morning that really encouraged me as one who often feels arrows in the back in the spirit from peoples jud gements towards me, which God really spoke to me about and hope that it would encourage you too if you feel this way. As it is not us who receive the arrows from people but the Lord (v4) But also reminds me not to be a person that speaks about others behind their back as words are powerful and the tongue either brings life or death. And it is so easily done without often thinking about it. And as easily as I feel arrows, others would feel arrows from me. Lord forgive us our sin as we forgive others theirs. ...

The biting off of the poisonous finger & and the underground spring being released

Recently I have had two pictures which now the Lord is bringing a fullness of understanding to. In the first vision I saw me biting off the tip of the pointing finger that was black and poisonous and I just knew it was demonic. And the second vision I had only a couple of days ago was of a garden that was unkempt, dry and derelict that suddenly we found an underground irrigations system to and we turned it on and it started to rain and everything came back to life again. And then this scripture was given to me over the weekend that I only saw this morning that has brought confirmation to what I believe the Lord is saying. When there is a poisonous part of the body unless we do something with it, it will infect the rest of the body, like gangrene sometimes we have to take serious measures in order for the rest of the body not to become ill. And although it seems extreme at the time, it is necessary to stop any further infection from spreading. And it was very much like ...

Regret.....Pass on what you have.

This morning I had a dream of a woman who was a warrior, who was well used to going into battles and one day someone gave her a jewel case with some ancient jewels in it, a huge ruby that was set in an intricate gold setting, and other jewels that were beautiful that were being passed down to her and that had originally come from someone before her. She put them away in a safe place and went out into battle again for it only to be her last battle. In looking back her regret was that she never told anyone where the jewels were before she went out to battle that she was given and so they were going to be lost and no longer being passed on, hidden forever in history, the beauty of what she had been given lost and of no value. I believe there is a word in this dream that I saw this morning. Many of us have fought many battles in the spiritual and natural realm and in that we have received jewels from the Lord through the things we have learnt in those battles and the training ...
