Stand up and fight

This morning the Lord revealed to me that there is a battle going on for destinies, for promises, for dreams that are still yet to be fulfilled. There is a battle going on for the dreams that He has put on our heart and we need to stand up and fight the fight of faith and declare what the Lord would declare over these dreams and destines that are waiting for us to walk in and for those things we have already begun to walk in that is this time is being contested.

In the natural there is a fight going on for life and death, and so too in the spiritual. Life and death over the promises and future destines that He has declared over each one of us.
Now is the time to stand and fight and declare life and truth to those things He has put on your heart, those things that have been prophetically declared over you.

It is almost as though the focus has been on Covid 19 and what's happening in the natural and so things are 'slipping away' without us even realising it as our eye is drawn to what is happening in the natural. So please be careful in this time to keep your eye not only what is happening in the natural but also what is happening in the spiritual.

For myself the Lord is showing me the battle over continuing in the church, which seems a continual battle for ourselves and yet the Lord is showing me in answer to my questions, that He has provided every time I have put that question to Him. He has answered my prayer as I come to Him with my needs and so we continue by faith and not by sight. In the natural things are dying and in the Spiritual things are also dying but make sure they are only the things that the Lord would have die in our lives. For myself, dying to the continual questioning and instead giving thanks for the answered prayer and being thankful for all that God has given, opens my eyes again to see the possibility of what is to come, opens my eyes again to faith and future, hope and promise.

So there are things that need to die in this time, only to be 'resurrected' in a new way. Resurrected in renewed clarity of vision, renewed clarity in the way and steps forward as we give thanks for where the Lord has taken us and grown us over the years. Nothing is ever wasted, instead we go from glory to glory, precept upon precept, from strength to strength. There is so much the Lord has been teaching us all in the steps we all been taking over the years, so as we all can carry more in the future and this is something to give thanks for.

Let's make sure we keep our focus on faith, on the promises and pick up those shields, pick up the sword and stand and fight for our inheritances in the Lord. Eph 6:10:18

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

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 ...

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!

Dear friends and partners, It is time to have a break over the Christmas and New Year Season. Thank you for all your support and encouragement over this past year and in all that the Lord has been doing. It has been an amazing year full of challenge and change and seeing God do all that he said he would do as we stepped out in faith in what we believed he was saying and seeing him come through. It has been an eventful year! We wonder what will be revealed over the next month or two? We are excited about 2013 and as He shows us more we will keep you to date step by step as He reveals it. So far just continuing on the words of 'preparing for expansion' and more recently believing for 'surprising and perhaps radical changes' but have no idea what that looks like yet. So its like opening Christmas presents as you shake the package, get excited about what it is and try to work it out but just make guesses, but at the proper time all will be revealed. :...

The baby's been handed over

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...

How do we honour?

This morning I am pondering how we truly show honour to people? I was thinking about how to honour some people and the Lord said to me “Sarah honour them the way you want to receive honour.” I found that really interesting as it made me question as to what I see as honour toward me in my own life. While mowing the lawns I came to see that honour is actually shown more deeply from people when it is given from the heart, sown by that particular persons love language perhaps and so often we don’t receive the honour that people are giving us if we are expecting it a certain way. For instance the other day a beautiful lady in the Lord gave me a couple of very small roses to wear on my clothes. It was so beautiful and so touched my heart and spoke volumes to me and the honour and love she was showing me because she had thought of me. Often we miss the love and honour someone is trying to show us because we see it from how we expect to receive ...

What do Kingdom finances look like?

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,...
