Time is near - Position Yourself

By
A word I had in Africa in one of the last meetings was "Position Yourselves".  And as the people positioned their hearts toward God, He came in all His Glory and it was amazing, setting people free and bringing them into a new place in the Lord, refired for the work of God.

Last night I had a dream and in this dream I saw this professor at work in his office but where he worked, a Bank had built their building right in front of him and once where there was light coming through the windows, there no longer was because the Banks building was in the way.  Now he couldn't move the building but he had a choice to make whether to stay in the office now with no light or shift his office in order to have light coming through the window.

I believe what the Lord is saying in this is that we can be busy doing what we are doing and all is good but then things come and get in the way like money as an example which  can stop us from seeing and walking in the light taking away our focus from the light because money becomes the focus instead.   Whatever it is, there are different things that stop the 'light' from coming into our lives.  We need to make a decision to position ourselves to be in a place where we see and walk in the light.  We need to sometimes make decisions that may be difficult and quite costly in different ways but in the end is worthwhile because we will then be in a place of walking in the light.

1 John 1:5 God is light; in him there is no darkness at all.  If we claim to have fellowship with him yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live by the truth.  But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin."

Following on from that dream there was another part I would like to share.  I was sitting down talking to people in my home and suddenly I realised the time while talking to them  that I had only 10 minutes before I needed to be at a meeting place where we were all going on a bus off to a camp.  Time had run away on me and I wasn't ready to be there as I was caught up talking to people.  I thought in this dream, its okay the bus will wait for us as I am sure other people will be late as well.

In looking at this I believe what the Lord is saying is be prepared.   The end is near and we cannot be found not prepared and ready to go when the time comes or we will miss out.  We cannot be found just talking about things with people and not doing what we need to do, making excuses as to why we are not ready because of someone else.  It's our responsibility to be ready at the appointed time and not blame others for not being ready.

Matthew 25:1-13  The Parable of the Ten Virgins - v13 "Therefore keep watch, because you do not know the day or the hour."

One last part I want to share of my dreams last night was I was walking to the bus stop and my feet were getting tired as I was wearing high healed shoes and they were not good for walking in long distance but then a friend came along and held my hand and helped me walk the rest of the way.

I believe what the Lord is saying is that sometimes on the journey we get tired, our feet get sore and sometimes we feel discouraged, but he will send people to help us along the way to keep us heading in the right direction, people that can take our hand in love and gentleness and lead us on and we need to take the hand that is offered.

Luke 24:13-30  The Road to Emmaus  v15 ...As they talked and discussed these things with each other, Jesus himself came up and walked along with them, but they were kept from recognizing him.....

So to sum up :

  1. Position yourselves so that you are people who walk in the light, no matter if it costs you a lot, it will be worth it.
  2. Be ready the end is near - don't blame others for your not being prepared.
  3. The Lord will send people to help us along the way - take the help, don't be so proud that you think you can do it on your own, we need each other.
With love, Sarah

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...

Last of the Summer Wine

By
On Wednesday night we had a gathering and the word of the Lord that came through was the "last of the summer wine" and there was this huge sense of shift in the spiritual realm.  That the things that had been, had come to an end.  That it was the ending of one season and that things would be very different in the future. Where God had been growing us, maturing us, teaches us to really love one another in the small and the sense of family that had been built was never going to be the same again. That there was a time for thankfulness of all that had been in the 'stretching and growing' and a word came saying that season of "Peters' being released was the new things.  Peter whose shadow healed people as he walked, that as a people we would see things happen for us all as we walked with the presence of God overflowing and out of us that we would see lives changed in the marketplaces. In the last week we have seen the 'open door' that we have been pra...

One step forward, two steps backward?

By
A few nights ago I had this dream where I saw some friends of mine they had put their house on the market, sold it, but shortly after selling went and bought back the original property that they had sold.   The house had been upgraded slightly in the process but I thought what a waste of money and time because it had cost them so much in the buying and selling of properties through the real estate agent only to go back to the original house. I believe the Lord is wanting to say something here to His people.  The Lord is shifting us out of the old season and into the new, and in the process of taking us from one thing to another there is a cost at some level involved in letting go of the past.  Which you are happy to pay but after being out in a strange place for a little while, a perhaps unknown place, a place where perhaps you don't yet have all the answers, it is easy to revert to what we have known in the past, what we have been familiar with and fall back into old h...

Don't worry, you wont miss the bus.

By
Last night I had this dream and there were a bunch of people at my house and we all decided to go somewhere by bus.  Because we had to lock up the house, Jim and I missed the bus, while the others managed to make it.  I found myself getting a little frustrated with Jim as he seemed to be so slow in locking everything up.  Jim & I got there just in time to see their bus drive away.  We were left standing in the rain.  But then the thinking came, its alright, we will just catch the next bus. Some of us may feel at times like we have missed our opportunity.  That we have missed what The Lord would have us do, and in that we can get a little frustrated by people around us and even perhaps blame people for where things are at, at least I know I do at times. :)  But I believe The Lord wants to encourage people today, including myself, that you don't need to worry, just rest and be at peace and  you will soon get another opportunity.  Like wa...

Vision for the Puketaha Hall Gatherings

By
Vision for the Puketaha Hall Gatherings –       Family Gatherings – The new but old interpretation of Church? Last night I had a dream and in this dream I saw what I believed the Lord is saying for the gatherings on the Wednesday nights. I saw a motel room and as we were preparing one of our friends came in and had a bath and she was naked but happily having a bath in front of me.  Then one by one, different people came in, family came in and began gathering.  My sister came in carrying a brand new baby, which we were all so excited about because it was brand new.  Others came and gathered that we had not expected and hadn’t seen for a while and we were so thrilled to see them. The youth had been at something else but were still here and they came. So I believe the gatherings at Puketaha hall will be like going to a motel for a family gathering where you all come from different places and join for an event. A...

There is an army rising up!

By
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...
