Have you been asking for a shift and don't know how to do it?

Over the course of the past few days I saw a couple of pictures I would like to share.

1.  I saw a real estate agent coming and helping prepare to shift a person.  The person had lots of rubbish to deal with that needed to be put in black rubbish bags and taken out.  I kept coming along and checking on the progress.  Initially the real estate agent had a suit and tie on but as he put his hand in to help the person get ready for the shift, he took more and more clothes off as he was  mucking in and helping doing the work.  Eventually all the rubbish had been cleared up and taken out and the real estate agent turned round to the person on the couch and gave him some money.

2.  I saw a bunch of people all standing together in the water, but the water wasn't moving, the people weren't moving and like any pool of water if you stand in the pool for a long time without movement you get cold.  I saw myself getting out of the pool and moving on because if I stayed there I would go cold and numb.


"Go and make disciples of all nations"
Matt 28:19
My interpretation of the first picture is that I believe there are people who have been asking the Lord how to step into what He has called them to, but they haven't known how to do it, or perhaps its been too overwhelming in where to start, but I believe the Lord is releasing the angelic realm to help take you from one place to another.  You won't be alone in it, he will send you the help you need in order to shift you to where you are to be.  As the shift takes place you will find provision given to you in ways you didn't expect.  It may take some time, but don't be discouraged, he is there with you, alongside helping you to keep going. 


The second picture:  I believe in the body of Christ we have gathered as a people in the Holy Spirit which has been great and it has grown us, but if you continue to camp around in the meetings and don't move with what you have, you love and your fire will grow cold.    It's important to 'go' out with what you have, not stay and stagnate in gatherings, the 'water' needs to be moving and flowing in order for us not to go cold.  So I encourage you not to 'camp' around what you have but move out, stir up the gifts within you and go with courage and boldness into the things God has called you to.  

When we step in by faith to the things God has called us to, that is where the joy everlasting lies, so I encourage you today, if you haven't known how to step into the next step, just ask the Lord to send his ministering angels to help you.  Just one step, and then the next step will follow.  We don't need to  know all the answers to all the questions we have before we step out. Often the first step is the hardest but as we step out, the next one opens up.  Jim and I have many testimonies as we have stepped out in faith, as I am sure you too have,  not knowing all the answers but as we have stepped out ,the answers and the provision has come.  

2 Timothy 1:6-7  "For this reason I remind you to fan into flame the gift of God, which is in your through the laying on my hands.  For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but give us power, love and self-discipline."



And surely I am with you always, to the
very end of the age. Matt 28:20

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...

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...

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...

Don't be deceived - be careful who you are following

I had this dream the other day where I saw a whole bunch of my friends following after a lady who was popular and well known and they were going to hear her but as they got in her possession she was evil and was out to kill them, she was deliberately deceiving them. I found myself in this dream warning the people not to follow her and so now I find myself warning people about being deceived and not to follow after people. We are not to follow after people, we are to follow after God and Jesus Christ.  We are not to look to people for what they can give us but we are to look to God.  If we look to God and read his word then it is harder to become deceived because the word of God is truth and it reveals truth as we read it and we find the areas of error that may be coming in. I find myself sometimes heading down a certain direction and becoming a little unbalanced in my theology (my beliefs) until I read the word again which brings me back in line ...

Prov 4:23 "Above all else guard your heart for it is the wellspring of life"

"Sticks and stones will break my bones, but words will never hurt me"  Yeah right! Peoples' comments and judgements toward us hurt very much and hinder our walk with the Lord and with others, but the Lord would say this morning from Proverbs 4:23 to "guard our heart for it is the wellspring of life." God judges very differently than man and we see in the story of 1 Samuel 16 where the Prophet Samuel is called to anoint a new King and in verses 6&7  "Samuel saw Eliab and thought, 'Surely the Lord's anointed stands here before the Lord'.  But the Lord said to Samuel 'Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him.  The Lord does not look at the things man looks at.  Man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart." How quickly we judge by what we see and hear, but the Lord calls us not to do that, but to look at the heart. Psalm 139:23-24  "Search me, O God and know my heart, tes...
