Struggling to get that time alone.....??!!!!

Matt 11:28   "Come to me,  all who you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.  Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.  For my yoke is easy and my burden is light."  This morning as I was having my quiet time my husband kept encroaching on my space with the Lord and I kept getting distracted with things that needed to be done and I felt like screaming for my own space just to be with the Lord.   Then the Lord reminded me very quickly that I need to continue to feed from him with everything going on around me.  He reminded me of the different seasons in life and the different stresses at different times, as a mother with children running around your feet, as a worker and the demands of full time work, whatever season you are in, that we still need to find that time to be alone with the Lord where it is just him and you in communion with each other, loving and b...

Are you having an affair?

While we were away in Whangarei I had a dream which in this dream I saw several young married couples newly married, but I saw one of the husbands of these woman on the phone with a woman and too busily preoccupied with her to have time for his wife.  In this same dream I saw I was married to a man, but because I realised that he didn't love me, I quickly got our marriage annulled because I was still in a position to do so. In reflecting on this dream and the words that popped into my mind during the dream it was actually talking about 'spiritual adultery'.  When we get married we put ourselves in covenant relationship with that person, to love, honour, cherish etc that other person for life.  That that person is the most special person and you are committing to keep that relationship special and important.  For me in this dream I saw the man on the phone with a woman and really felt that this was talking about the internet and actually phones now that I think abou...

May Newsletter - Africa in June

23 May 2012 Dear friends and partners, Psalm 34:1-3 I will extol the Lord at all times; His praise will always be on my lips. My soul will boast in the Lord; Let the afflicted hear and rejoice. Glorify the Lord with me; Let us exalt His name together . This was in my journal this morning and was so appropriate for where things are at.! God’s timing is just amazing.  In the last update Jim’s work was coming to an end but the Lord had spoken about Step Up & Step In – the mini conference we had earlier this month, which because of the Lords timing in less work for Jim enabled him to concentrate on preparation for the conference.  The conference was such a blessing and everything the Lord had been teaching us over the years was released in the peace, rest and freedom then reigned over it.  There is a more detailed description of the event on the blogsite (gloryreleaseministries.blogspot.com) along with photos, so have a look there if you ...

The power of the words we speak - what do we actually believe?

This morning I am reminded so powerfully by the Lord of the power of my words and the authority that they carry.  God is so gracious to us but he brought such a breakthrough for me in this this morning and the dreams and visions he has placed on our lives.  This past weekend we have been in Whangarei and something that Eric Johnson spoke about was the blind-spot in our lives.  Like when driving in our car there is a blind-spot that we can't see and others can see it.  We, all of us, have blind spots in our lives and we need to be asking the Lord what those blind spots are so we can walk in the fullness of everything he has for us.  Well I was asking the Lord what my blind-spot was and he was gracious to me and showed me the power of the words that I speak.  I have known in my head the power of the words, but this past week twice it has been confirmed by others and that when we speak we either curse or bless but the reality of that is dropping from my head i...

Step Up & Step In. Overview of the two days. JUST A BLESSED TIME

Wow thankyou Jesus!   For the first semi major event we have ever hosted we were blown away how the Lord brought it together.  The people who put up their hand and helped out were just fantastic!  Each and every one making it what it was.  Honestly the peace of the Lord was all over it.  Each person just took their position whether being asked or not and stepped up into it with such strength and capability that it blew Jim and I away.  THANKYOU TO ALL for releasing what was in your hand - your loaves and fishes! As for Nicky and the Band, what can we say - you guys too stepped up in such a powerfully anointed way.  It was awesome.  The worship was so led by the spirit and you could see the effort and time you had put in paid off so powerfully with peace and rest flowing from the throne.  If you haven't seen these guys before and need a itinerant worship group then people get a hold of these guys!     www.nickymoran.com As fo...

What is it you want?.

What is it you want? I want everything!  I want nothing less!  I want the fullness of God made manifest in and through me where nations are healed and come to the full saving knowledge of God.  I want like Peter who carried the presence of God in such a way where people were healed as he walked past them.  I want to walk like Stephen waiting tables where miracles happened as he waited tables, and then under persecution would shine like Jesus, as stoned to death.  How much do I want it?  How much I am willing to sacrifice to get it? I have seen some of this but I want to see more.   Recently we have been coming under persecution and the Lord said to me "Sarah, what did you pray for?" and so like Smith Wigglesworth who held meetings where Pastors would walk out, who was not altogether liked for his 'style of ministry' but was known as the "Apostle of Faith", liked much better after death than life at times.  The Lord reminded me - Sarah w...

Oh yeah - the flood came!

After writing the blog yesterday boy did the flood come to my house it seemed and we are still recovering after the water has died down!.  Yes we are still standing, but boy it is a great reminder of the grace that the Father gives and where sin abounds grace abounds all the more!  And such a learning  time for me in loving without judgement for the same measure we give, we will receive.  And I realise with great thankfulness to the Lord that actually I have grown and moved from the place that I have been in the past and into a new place and am finding it much easier to love and forgive and not hold judgement over someone, a whole lot less conditional in my love - oh yeah - thank you Jesus! Now I have loads of things going around my head and I am reminded again that without grace and forgiveness I could not stand.  And in that reminder am able to give it to others where they sin and fall short of the glory of the Lord and stumble in their own walk.  A...
