The next step - Teaching people to move in the freedom of the Spirit

This morning I woke up with a dream where I was teaching people how to walk in the freedom of the Spirit and so I believe the Lord is asking me to teach people how to do this and in so doing, we share our story of where it all begun for us and how did we get to where we are now. This is a question that is sometimes posed to me and in beginning to share our journey I do so because I believe what is going to come is a move of the spirit in such a way that it will transform nations, as we become a people of the Spirit and not of the flesh. Where as we step out in the things of the Spirit, God is going to move powerfully even though it is not of the usual form or the way we have seen it before, but we know it is of God and the fruit testifies to the presence of God. The fruit of the spirit of Gal 6, the characteristics & image of God coming out in peoples lives, of healings happening in the midst without anyone laying on of hands because the presence of God is so tangible, and people are set free from bondages and delivered simply because where the Light of God is, the darkness has to flee – it cannot stay. (1 John 1:5 “God is light; in him there is no darkness at all.”)

Where people become a people no longer sitting on the fence in their relationship with God but either being hot or cold.

We share our journey out of complete humility with God and what he has taught us that could help others to come into what we believe is coming, not because we have anything more than anyone else, but simply because the Lord is asking me to teach people what I have learnt. The word that the Lord has been speaking to me about recently is it “Position Yourself” and I believe we are in a time where we need to position ourselves for what is going to come. Yesterday I was at a meeting and a prayer was given for who needed wealth, but as people were being prayed for I felt also this weight of responsibility that came with receiving much wealth. We all want wealth for whatever reason, that is between you and God, but with great wealth there is great responsibility and if we desire, ask & believe to have it, then we need to be prepared for it to come. The Lord showed me several years ago that great wealth was going to come into our hands and hence actually why we started up Glory Release Ministries as a charitable trust because we knew that the wealth that was going to come was going to be used for Kingdom purposes and so we have ‘positioned ourselves’ in order for that to come. We have yet to see it but are believing for it and so stepped out in faith and action for what we believe for. The Lord says that to whom much is given much is expected. We as a body of Christians have been given so much and now we need to position ourselves in a way that we are using everything the Lord has given ourselves for His purposes however that may look.

And so as I begin on the journey of offering what the Lord has taught us to others in learning to move in the freedom of the Spirit, keep an eye out for the new blogs and feel free to encourage others to read them. Please pray for me as I step out in faith in this arena. Please pray that the Lord would show me the scriptures he would want me to use. Please pray Matt 15:14 “Every plant that my heavenly Father has not planted will be pulled by the roots.” in peoples lives and in my own. Please pray that I would not be a blind person leading another into a pit but that the Lord would given revelation that would make it clear and understandable to those who read what he shows me.

Please pray that peoples hearts and minds would open up to the wind of the spirit touching their lives and changing mindsets and making them available for what the Lord is wanting to bring in our nation and the nations of the world.

Thank you so much – with love – Sarah

"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, ...

Obedience and Commitment are big things in Gods Kingdom

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...

"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...

The fires too hot!

Sometimes the things we go through we think aren't God, and whether they are or not God, God uses everything for our good, (if we allow it). And often we are tempted to walk out or walk away from God and His people in the process when things become too tough. We don't know how to handle it, we think all sorts of things that don't line up with the bible, with truth, we question, we doubt, we blame, whatever it is that is being challenged in our life when it becomes too hard, we are often tempted to quit or to walk away from the situation/s that is/are causing pain. I know I have several times spat the dummy so to speak, in my marriage, in my church, with my daughter, in relationships, when I have wanted to quit and walk away. But thankfully the Lord holds me, I have my bad day and then something will come that will encourage me to keep going. A word in season, someone encouraging me, a reminder of the good things, what...

There is an army rising up!

Are you struggling in your family? Are you struggling with people in the body of Christ? Keep going in love and you will see the breakthroughs you long for. Over the past few months the Lord has been showing me some scenes where the enemy has been trying to attack and destroy families, and so I believe it is a time where we need to be alert of the devils schemes and counter attack with the truth and the love of God. Three areas we ourselves as a ministry are currently contenting for breakthrough in are: 1. the unity of the body of Christ, 2. for whole families to come to Christ 3. for mental health issues to be overcome .... and so of course the enemy wants to come and try and destroy in whatever way He can within churches, within families, in individuals and so I/we need to be alert to the schemes of the enemy. Romans 12:21 "Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good." One vision I share with you I ha...

Are you feeling frustrated, discouraged, discontented - then be encouraged to keep going for at the proper time you WILL reap a harvest.

Many are the voices I am hearing of frustration, of when, of what is going on, of disappointment, of wanting more but getting discouraged but the Lord would say, do not give up in doing good for at the proper time you will reap a harvest - and I believe that harvest is not long off. The enemy's tactics are to wear out the saints but I want to encourage you - keep going, don't give up, only believe. In looking at why sometimes frustration etc is there, the Lord showed me that sometimes its because we are looking more at the dreams and visions we have that aren't being fulfilled than looking at the source of our true fulfillment which is only found in Jesus. Philippians 3:7 “But whatever was to my profit I now consider loss for the sake of Christ. What is more, I consider everything a loss compared to the surpassing greatness of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them rubbish, that I may gain Christ a...
