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

"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, ...

Dealing with a poverty mindset

This morning I had a dream and what the Lord was saying is that there was a 'begging' mentality happening and instead of believing God would give everything we needed and responding and walking in the authority that He has given each one of us. That He is our daily bread, our daily provision. Instead many of us are like a people begging going around asking for the little scraps that people or God would give. Whatever it is you need today - God is able, in fact more that ab le to do exceedingly more than you think of, ask or imagine. So I pray for you that every poverty mindset that limits who God is in and through you today would be broken in the name and blood of Jesus and that you would walk in the abundance of all that God has for you and those around you. Many blessings - Sarah. If you recognize any of these seven signs in your life, you may have a poverty mentality that God wants to heal you from: This list comes from Kris Vollotton https://www.charismamag.com/spi...

Vision for the Puketaha Hall Gatherings

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...

Distraction or Traction?

Our most value asset is: TIME I don't know about you but I find it is easy to get distracted and drawn away from what I was intending to do or where my focus needed to be. I often find myself getting 'entangled in civilian affairs' as it says in the scripture above. But the discernment is knowing if that is God's interruption for the day or a distraction that takes me away from the purpose and plan that God would have me walk in. I think we can often miss those God opportunities and God calls on our life because of distractions. " A distraction is something we do that moves us away from what we really want." Distractions bring confusion, feeling like you are in a muddle, not knowing where you are going, often feeling like you are busy but probably not really achieving a great deal. The opposite of distraction is TRACTION. Traction is an action that moves us toward what we really want. Momentum and movement toward the desires of the heart. But often we don...
