Step Up & Step In. Overview of the two days. JUST A BLESSED TIME

Wow thankyou Jesus!   For the first semi major event we have ever hosted we were blown away how the Lord brought it together.  The people who put up their hand and helped out were just fantastic!  Each and every one making it what it was.  Honestly the peace of the Lord was all over it.  Each person just took their position whether being asked or not and stepped up into it with such strength and capability that it blew Jim and I away.  THANKYOU TO ALL for releasing what was in your hand - your loaves and fishes!

As for Nicky and the Band, what can we say - you guys too stepped up in such a powerfully anointed way.  It was awesome.  The worship was so led by the spirit and you could see the effort and time you had put in paid off so powerfully with peace and rest flowing from the throne.  If you haven't seen these guys before and need a itinerant worship group then people get a hold of these guys!    www.nickymoran.com

As for the rest - while truly the REST & PEACE of the Lord was so there.  Every session once again different as you moved led by the Spirit to what he wanted to minister to.

The first night being one of the Power of God being released.   The fire of God so evident touching people radically. The talk centered around whose house are you building from Haggai and to finding the precious jewels in the field in Matt 13:44 that we sell all we have to buy that field.  Some needed a fresh touch from the Lord to remember the preciousness of those jewels that they had once found.  

The second was so gentle with the Lord dealing with areas of grief and broken relationships followed with communion - it was so special.  Jim spoke about being grafted into the vine and that we have a choice to come in and be a part of the family or sitting outside watching from a distance sharing his example of our new kitten.

The third session more of breaking the chains and setting the captives free to be who they were called to be.  The talk was about the body and how we needed each part of the body to function because if we don't we withhold our gift to the rest of the body.  People began sharing what the Lord was showing them to everyone, one by one words of knowledge came, pictures came, testimony came, just wonderful to see the different parts of body being released to bring together a whole picture.

And the final session talked about humility and what is true humility and man's humility and sharing what you have with others in the market place through testimonies shared.  The understanding of knowing who you are with the authority that you have in Christ yet being able to be a servant.  It doesn't matter what you do or who you are under, you can be a free person full of authority yet serve as Christ did.

All Glory and praise to the Lord as he changed each one of us.  For Jim and myself it too was a step up into what the Lord has been saying leaving behind fear of man and stepping into what God says about us and the anointing he has given us to walk in.  We are growing in it as each of us are, but we press on in faith believing that He can do what He said he will do, realising without Him we can do nothing!  It was a vision come to pass for us this past weekend and then the Lord would say, its even more than you think, ask or imagine (Eph 3:20) so what we are seeing is nothing compared to what is to come.  There is always more in the Lord so never allow yourselves to settle with where you are at because the Lord would encourage to continue to press on in Him in faith and see what He will do.  When we realise we can't do it and step out in that, then He steps in and gets all the glory and praise that is due His name.  When we are obedient to his voice and trust when he says that those who trust in him will never be put to shame, then we begin to come into some of the fullness of joy that the Lord has promised to those who love him.  Continue to press on in Him people.  Bless each one of you!  The Lord has good plans for you, plans to prosper and not to harm, plans with a hope and a future!

A challenge from the Book of Haggai

“Is it a time for you yourselves to be living in paneled houses while this house remains a ruin?” This is the word that popped up to me this morning as I sat down and felt I needed to share it here. Haggai is a wonderful book that reminds us of the right priorities in life, it is only a couple of pages long so take the time to read it in one sitting.  I quote from the NIV application study bible;       “Pressures, demands, expectations, and tasks push in from all sides and assault our schedules.  Do!  Be There!  Finish that! Call them!  It seems as though everyone wants something from us – family, friends, employer, school, church, clubs.  Soon there is little left to give, as we run out of energy and time.  We find ourselves rushing through life, attending to the necessary, the immediate, and the urgent.  The important is all too often left in the dust.  Our problem is not the volume of d...

Latest Prayer Update

Since writing last – We continue to pray about the tent meeting but the Lord seems to continue to have that on hold as I believe he has another way of doing the same thing but in a new way where the whole body will be used and so we wait until all the pieces come together.   Please be patient with us in this. Africa – We continue to have words given to us about Africa and so the Lord is definitely talking about Africa but he seems to be widening the vision with it all, not just Malawi.   It seems more like at this stage visiting a number of African Countries wherever the Lord leads, empowering people – a bit like the last China trip but for longer and more countries and so too we wait for all the pieces to fit together. He has said to have our bags packed ready to go at a moments notice and so we have done that by faith, there are just a few other things that need to come together to make this possible.    Picton – We were blessed to be part of a team that we...

Guest Ministry - Linda Hartzell from America

We are blessed to have join us on Wednesday the 25th at Puketaha Hall this amazing powerful woman of the Lord - Linda Hartzell - She  travels internationally as a missionary / evangelist and conference speaker.  She has ministered in over 45 nations of the world and has been in ministry for 30 years. I was honoured to be able hear her speak this last Sunday at Life Church and highly recommend her and the power she speaks confirming the season as to which we are in:  Come along - All welcome. 7pm A little about her:     " At the young age of 22 Linda's ministry was launched in the "heat" of the great Argentina Revival.  She has experienced and seen first hand the incredible impact that the power of God can have upon an entire nation, when God's eyes look upon that nation for revival.      Linda's message is prophetic in nature with insight and understanding of the times and a directional message of where God is takin...

But one sinner destroys much good

This morning I was reading from Ecclesiastes 9 about wisdom and in verse 18 it says: "Wisdom is better than weapons of war, but one sinner destroys much good." I have been journeying the learning of wisdom in leadership for a number of years now and it's challenging.  I have made many mistakes and continue to as I learn to balance scripture, of interpreting of what is right and wrong, of when and if to speak, of being patient and learning what is love and what is discipline.  When to overlook an offence and when to say enough is enough.  We all ask the Lord for more, but in the 'more', what it often means is we have to learn to 'love' more and see as Jesus would see, and speak as Jesus would speak. These past weeks I have got very 'discouraged' as I go to Christian meetings and 'see' the heart of man that has judgement toward me, people who cannot look at me because of the offence in their heart. Or hear of people still slanderi...

One of the biggest giants here in NZ - fear of man!

After writing that blog about the terminator, I realise I need to share something that I have found in New Zealand but it is not only New Zealand but everywhere I believe.  One of the biggest strongholds if you like that I have come across in the spirit is the fear of man, is of intimidation.  I may have shared this before but I find it in almost every church we head into, in the spirit, the thing that hits me and tries to stop me walking in my authority and who God has called me to be, or what he has called me to do in that place, is the fear of man. That comes out of that place as I said of not knowing who we individually are in Christ.  As 'Fathers Heart' courses have taught it, the "orphan spirit" if you like.  We don't know that we are each special and individually crafted and needed and wanted by God, then we compare ourselves with others, we fight with our brothers and sisters in Christ, we judge ourselves against others, we lift ourselves up over others ...
