Now is the time for the power of God

This morning I was woken with a picture of electricity in one room that seemed to go out but then there was electricity in another room that should not have had electricity as there was no connection and yet it was full of electricity.  I felt it was a picture of the power of God of supernatural things taking place that you could not explain. That there had been a little of it in the past to that seemed to go out but now it is about to increase.  Then the scripture Isaiah 41 was loud and clear in my heart.  So I got up and read Isaiah 41 and it is all about those who worship idols and those who put their trust in the Lord who will be protected.  He encourages his faithful ones to trust in him, with an assurance that he would take their part against their enemies, making them victorious over them, and bring a about a good change of affairs in their circumstances. In praying into this is what I believe this is what the Lord said to me. "What you have s...

Can you leave the washing for someone else to do?

Something the Lord has been speaking to me about recently is leaving people to do what they have been called to do and to step into what I have been called to do. The other day I had a dream of some friends whose house I was staying at and she left me to do the washing while she went off to do something else, but as she left she felt she needed to come back to me and take over me doing the washing.  It was a control issue in her life as she just couldn't leave me to do it as I was more than capable to do it.  But in the process of her doing this, it meant she missed out on the opportunity that was in front of her. God was speaking to me to leave people to do what I have given them to do and to move into what He has called me to do.  But for many of us it is very difficult to leave others to do things that have been in your arena to do; they may not do it the same or as well as you could do, but they still can are capable to do it. Today I was reading about Ki...

But wait....its not commitment, but rather 'Faithfulness"

S omething we have been working through with in the body of Christ is the difficulty for people to commit to something and to continue in it no matter what comes.  We have found people will walk into something believing God has said it, and yet six months down the track, or when difficulty comes, challenges come, offence comes, it doesn't look as they expected, etc. that   commitment and belief that God spoke six months earlier is no longer there and we see people walk out of those commitments they once made believing God had spoken. So does that mean people didn't seek the Lord in the first place? Did they hear incorrectly? So does that mean people sought the Lord but now he is saying something different? So does that mean I have the right to do whatever I like based on how it feels at the time? If it feels good then I will do it type thing, but if it doesn't then I am gone? This has been a real struggle for me in leadership as I have found this on a regul...

In childlike faith.... I wait

In childlike faith, I have declared what I have seen. In childlike faith, I have believed that what I have seen my Papa has no problem in doing. In childlike faith I have stepped out… but found that doors have been closed - FOR NOW..... That others around me didn’t see what I saw, That finances didn’t come to do what I believed in, That people didn’t stand with me, That for whatever reason that I blamed everyone else for the state of my heart. And so day by day in disappointment of spirit, my dream becomes less to what I see in front of me, Day by day by spirit starts to no longer believe for the ‘big’ vision that the Lord showed me, Day by day my childlike faith becomes beset by conditions, “if that happens, then I will do this”. And I find the once full of faith child is putting conditions on the steps of which she takes. And yet his word says “Those who trust in the Lord will not be put to shame”. And yet his word says “Those who wait upon the Lord will ...

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...

The biting off of the poisonous finger & and the underground spring being released

Recently I have had two pictures which now the Lord is bringing a fullness of understanding to. In the first vision I saw me biting off the tip of the pointing finger that was black and poisonous and I just knew it was demonic. And the second vision I had only a couple of days ago was of a garden that was unkempt, dry and derelict that suddenly we found an underground irrigations system to and we turned it on and it started to rain and everything came back to life again. And then this scripture was given to me over the weekend that I only saw this morning that has brought confirmation to what I believe the Lord is saying. When there is a poisonous part of the body unless we do something with it, it will infect the rest of the body, like gangrene sometimes we have to take serious measures in order for the rest of the body not to become ill.  And although it seems extreme at the time, it is necessary to stop any further infection from spreading.  And it was very much like ...

Sleeping while driving?

How many of you have ever driven a car and you become so sleepy that you either need to pull over and sleep or you will crash or you continue to drive only to find yourself swerving to avoid a car that comes upon you or even worse find yourself in a crash. The other day I had a vision where I was preaching and the whole back row in the gathering of men were asleep while I was preaching.   And today I had another vision of driving a car while so sleepy that it was going to cause an accident. This is what is like for many in our spiritual walk in the Lord, we are going around in our lives spiritually asleep and if we continue to do so will have a serious crash at some point not only causing damage to yourself but to other people who you may not even know.  Men particularly I challenge you to take a look at your lives to see whether you are hearing from the Lord, whether you are responding truthfully to the Holy Spirit and living as He would ask you to l...
