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.

What do Kingdom finances look like?

By
I was asked by someone the other day what Kingdom finances looked like and I realised that this is an area that needs some discussion. This is my opinion of what Kingdom finances look like according to what the Lord has taught me over the years and to scriptures I have been shown, but I am not the be all and end all to thinking, so it is something you might want to check out for yourselves. The way of the world is to store up riches, to save for a rainy day, to have enough to protect themselves should something happen, that I have earned this and it is mine and therefore I can do what I want with it. The way of the Kingdom is a way of giving to the poor, giving to God's people in need and practicing hospitality, of not worrying about tomorrow, of trusting God for the future and His provision in that time of need when it arises, of everything is His (God's). I believe that if you see a need in front of you and you have something in which can help with that need, whatever it is,...

Will you play the piano - will you spit and touch a man's toungue?

By
We had our worship group the other night and to begin with I saw someone playing the playing so I asked if anyone could and would play the piano because that is what I saw happening in the spirit.  I may have been wrong in the what I saw but I stepped out in faith but alas no one stepped forward to play the piano so Jim played it and I believe in this the Lord was teaching us some valuable lessons.  Jim cannot play the piano at all but he was willing to be used. This morning I was reading in Mark 7:32-35  "There some people brought to him a man who was deaf and could hardly talk, and they begged him to place his hand on the man...    Jesus put his fingers into the man's ears.  Then he spit and touched the man's tongue.  He looked up to heaven and with a deep sigh said to him "Ephphatha!" (which means, "Be opened!).  At this the man's ears were opened, his tongue was loosened and he began to speak plainly. I was reminded of the other night ...

GRM Call to prayer - "Who will weep for the Bride?"

By
Something I realised in my recent trip away to the Canterbury region is again the confirmation and call of my heart to see the bride raised up to be who she is called to be. A pure spotless bride who is ready for her beloved and walking in everything He has promised us as His authority here on the earth.  I realised afresh as I listen to different people, hear and see different reasons as to why people aren't going to church, or perhaps have recently moved churches for some reason, basically peoples hurts and frustrations regarding 'Church', that there is a disconnect in how people see things and how the word of the Lord the bible teaches us in how we ought to love one another and forgive one another.  Hence why we are seeing a 'powerless' church.  The word says that if we bite and devour one another we will be destroyed (Gal 5:15) All of us have a heart and passion, yours might be for the lost, it might be for the single parents, or the sick, etc. but the Lord...

I shared last night about 1 Cor 15:36 "What you sow does not come to life unless it dies. When you sow, you do not plant the body that will be, but just a seed, perhaps of wheat or of something else. But God gives it a body as he has determined, and to each kind of seed he gives its own body..." I was preaching on it last night and it will come up in video form later in the week on the GRM sight, mainly reflecting on we can sow things one way, but God raises it up as HE determines how it should look. But this morning I got more revelation which will be quite obvious to some, but to me it struck me afresh. When we sow something it get's buried, it cannot be pulled back up. It no longer has 'connection' with 'me' if you like. It gets 'covered over' unable to be pulled up. And yet I recognise in my own life how we can sow something but there are still 'strings attached' as such as we often are still determining or expecting it be rai...

The baby's been handed over

By
Several weeks ago the Lord shifted us out of the 'home office' into the 'market place' and in the process a spiritual shift happened - one of letting the 'baby' go, a releasing and handing over the batten, so to speak to others. In this process the nests that WE ALL have been in have been stirred up, shaken about, and pushed out, to fly in ways that perhaps we were too afraid to do previously. The amazing thing with God is that He knows the timing of all of this and where each one of us is at and what we can handle.  Yes there has been a fluttering of wings in panic.  Yes, we have had a few weeks of challenge as authority and structures get changed and challenged, frustrations coming to the fore, but love helps us overcome,  love helps us to forgive,  love helps us to see the good and not the dirt, love helps us remember our own failings and yet forgiveness and grace that the Lord has for me, that I can give to others, remembering it's the glory of G...

Latest Prayer Update

By
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...
