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

"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...

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...

"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, ...

Aphids and Slugs - Resisted or Received?

Morning. The last week or so I have had some very powerful pictures through my garden and life in which the Lord used to speak to me that I would like to share. The first picture: While caring for my roses, I notice that one particular rose is not doing well and I see aphids and disease on the plant and so I spray it again hoping that it will kill what is attacking them. A week later I see it has not been effective and so I am prompted to try another different form of disease killer, an oil rather than the pesticide, and the Lord speaks to me; "Sarah, what was used in the last season, won't work for this new season". We are in a different season, and the way we ministered or dealt with things in the past, won't work in this new season we are in. The reason being we (as a people) have become 'familiar' with the styles and ways of ministering and hence the 'enemy' is already aware of it and becomes 'resistant' to it. A bit like how...

6 legged sheep???

In the weekend I saw a vision of a sheep that had six legs. And what I believe the Lord is saying, there are many sheep, (followers of Christ), but they are trusting in their own strength and not in mine. When we trust in our own strength and abilities we forfeit the grace that can be ours, the enabling that comes from stepping out in faith in the impossible, the testimonies that give God the glory rather than the expectation of what should be because we have put our hand to something. God is the God of the impossible and in order for the miracles, the testimonies, we need to be a people that step out in what we can't do and allow God to come in and do the impossible. That may simply be asking the Lord to help you to forgive someone that has hurt you so much, to getting on a plane with no finances because the Lord has asked you to, to continue to stay in a job/church/marriage/relationship you don't want to because that is where God has placed you, to pra...

Year after year

I was led this morning to the book of 1 Samuel and the first thing that jumped out at me was the phrase "year after year". How many of us are like this. We have so much and yet we are still crying out to the Lord for things that have not happened or come to pass yet. And we look at others and see what they have and compare and it causes us to not see the love that is poured out to us. Hannah's husband would say to her "Hannah, why are you weeping? ... Why are you downhearted? Don't I mean more to you than ten sons? The Lord would say this morning. Am I not enough?. See my love poured out to you. See what I have given you. Come to me, find your peace and your joy in me, not in what you have or don't have, what is or isn't done yet, but in me alone. Those 'things' don't fulfil you but come to me and find rest for your soul. I will satisfy you and give you rest and peace for your soul. Psalm 62 Truly my soul finds r...
