Come unto Me

2010
Saturday, 30 January
04:49:31

Me: Good Morning Lord, Thank you for waking me this morning and for allowing me to be a part of you 5 o'clock club. I love you Lord. Help me to love you more.

Lord: Good morning Son. Welcome to our gathering this bright and cold morning. I love you too my son, and I treasure these times with you, when we can talk. But first let us love one another.

Lift up you head and open your eyes that you may behold my Son. So often Jesus stands with you, and you do not recognise him. After the resurrection Jesus came to his disciples many times, and many times they found it hard to overcome reason and unbelief. Reason told them people just don't rise from the dead, and unbelief dragged them down to the level of reason by saying, "Unless I see and touch, I will not believe". Jesus had risen from the dead, because I am the Lord of Life. Jesus is a part of me, and death has no dominion over me. But it was necessary for Jesus to die, in order to take all the sin of Adam to the grave and enable mankind to be restored to me. The only way for this to happen was for me to take the sin away myself. Mankind could not let it go himself.

The same is still true today. Man cannot atone for his own sin, and is therefore sentenced to death for crimes against God. But there is a way out. Jesus! When Jesus went to the cross 2,000 years ago, he went once and for all time. Even 2,000 years later the children of men can still call on the Lord Jesus for help, and His gift to them is salvation. There is no other way to save yourself from the death sentence. No one, however rich or powerful, can escape the angel of death without Jesus. This is the message of the gospel. It must not be watered down, or compromised in any way. This message is life to those who hear and accept it, and death to those who reject it.

The desire of My heart, is that all men, women and children, come to accept this truth. The reality is that I have given mankind the ability and the free-will to say no. The enemy has a persuasive voice and seeks always to turn people from the path of salvation. He whispers into the ears of the unwary, and tells them that they can earn their way into my favour, through good deeds and being a nice person. But I tell you the truth when I say, there have been countless 'nice' people who have rejected Jesus who now lie for eternity in the dust. That grieves me, for Jesus died for all men and women in every age.

I call my church anew to preach the Gospel of Jesus, and not to preach any distortion of it. I call my church to seek out the lost and lead them to Jesus. This is not just the work and calling of ministers and evangelists; this is the calling of every believer. Let the testimony of Jesus be on your lips every day, as you share Him with all those you meet. Do not listen to those who will say to you, it is not politically correct to put people under pressure. If that is what people need to hear, and it is, then the message must be shared. In every revival there are those who struggle and fight against my Spirit, but all will say it was worth the struggle, to come through to full salvation. There are still too many people in this so called Christian country outside my Kingdom, and that is unacceptable. For this reason I am going to break down the barriers the churches have made, which they self righteously call doctrinal differences, and I am going to call out my true church. The days are past when Christians say I am an Anglican, a Baptist, a Catholic or anything else. Those who love me and have received the Lord Jesus must stand together and proclaim with one voice, the truth of the Gospel without compromise. Then you will see not hundreds or thousands, but tens of thousands and even millions turning to me and receiving the salvation of the Cross.

Catch my vision, my children. Catch the vision, grasp it and hold it. Keep it always before you and thank me for it every day. The vision is the Gates of Heaven with a countless mass of people pouring into the kingdom, and as they pass through, a great shout is heard and all the earth is shaken. The people are of every race and tribe on earth, and come from every possible religion and none. The reason why they are entering through the sacred gates is simple. Each of them has heard about the saving grace of God through the cross, and have received the message with joy, and received Jesus into their hearts. No one who acknowledges from their heart, that Jesus Christ is Lord, will be left outside.

Raise a Banner for Christ

04:59:13


Me: Good Morning Lord. Thank you for waking me this morning and for giving us this new day. I praise you Lord, for being you, and thank you for making man in your image. I Love you Lord.

Time of praise based on Psalms 133 to 137

Lord: Good morning son, welcome to the 5 o'clock club, Thank you for your praise.

I want to talk to you about mission today. The biggest problem with the word Mission is that it has been applied by so many, to mean something it isn't. The Mission of the Church is to proclaim Jesus Christ and Him crucified. It is about speaking the Good News so that all who hear it are left in no doubts about the destructive nature of sin and man's need to repent before me, and receive the forgiveness I am offering. It's about leading the repentant sinner to Jesus, and He will do the rest. Missions are making that possible. Mission is not about bums on seats, or about 'growing the church'. Mission is about Jesus and Salvation. As soon as the focus is moved from Jesus, the power goes out and it becomes no more than an average event. Churches do not need a mission statement. You have one already in the creeds of the Church, which have stood the test of time. Mission is caught from me. When I place a yearning to see souls saved and brought into my Kingdom, the seeds of Mission are sown in your hearts. It begins in prayer, as you build your relationship with me and my Son Jesus. As that relationship grows, so the yearning for souls grows, because that is the yearning of my heart. You must never 'move on' from prayer. Prayer is the bedrock of your relationship with me. Yes, it is where you start, but it is also where it ends, and at every stage. Always pray, even when I am doing other things with you. Prayer is the footings of your building. Footings firmly planted in the Rock that is Jesus.

The walls must rise next from the firm foundations. The walls are the Word of God which provide you with everything you need in a hostile environment. The Word protects you from the attacks of Satan, by bouncing the arrows of the Evil One right back at him. When the devil attacked Jesus in the desert, he used my Word as a shield and a sword. Soak up my word and make it a part of who you are. Let my words be on your lips day and night. Meditate on my Word.

When the walls have risen strong and tall, firm on the rock that cannot be moved, then I give confidence. Confidence, not in your own strength or the might of your arm, but confidence in Jesus and His work of salvation, bought at the price of his life on the Cross. Confidence in my word to you, that stands and remains, long after the pronouncements of the 'wise' have been shown up for what they are, the babblings of the ignorant.

Place a banner on your ramparts, that all may see, the Cross of Jesus lifted high. Proclaiming to all peoples that this is a temple of God's Holy Spirit, a place where Jesus is honoured and proclaimed. The banner will attract two sorts of people. Those who are seeking me. They will see your light shining in the dark place they are, and like a moth, will be drawn to the light. Open the doors to all who come seeking me, feed the hungry, give drink to the thirsty, bind up the broken and give my rest to those who are weary. Let your tower of strength in Jesus become a tower of refuge and healing. The second type of person attracted to the banner, are the scoffers, who come to ridicule and jeer. They are far too 'wise' in their own eyes, to venture too close, and will throw stones at the walls, from afar. They will see no invitation in the open door, nor will they hinder or distract those who are seeking me for their eyes, are focused on Jesus. Do not waste time on the scoffers and those who throw stones at the Word of God; leave them to me! Open wide the gates to those who seek me, and you will have plenty to do, and much to praise me for. My barns are now ready for the harvest to be gathered in. Pray the Lord of the harvest to send labourer into his fields. Let them sing as they work. Let them shout for joy. Let them dance on their journey, as they bring in the sheaves. The halls of heaven always ring with constant praise, but now on earth, even the very foundations of the earth, will shake with the sound of a great shout, as the people I am calling, respond and turn to me.

When Jesus came to earth, and was born in Bethlehem, the impression is that he was unexpected, that his own people, the Jews, had stopped looking for him, but this was not the case. The flame of hope was always alight, and I had raised up those who would respond when he came. Simple folk like the shepherds, wise men like the Magi, and holy men and women like Simeon and Anna. When Jesus comes again, he will come unannounced, but will not be unexpected or unlooked for. Keep awake and always watchful. Read the signs, and be ready for the great shout of praise when he appears.

Lift High The Cross Hymn

Lift high the cross, the love of Christ proclaim,
Till all the world adore His sacred Name.

Led on their way by this triumphant sign,
The hosts of God in conquering ranks combine.

Lift high the cross, the love of Christ proclaim,
Till all the world adore His sacred Name.

Each newborn servant of the Crucified
Bears on the brow the seal of Him Who died.

Lift high the cross, the love of Christ proclaim,
Till all the world adore His sacred Name.

O Lord, once lifted on the glorious tree,
As Thou hast promised, draw the world to Thee.

Lift high the cross, the love of Christ proclaim,
Till all the world adore His sacred Name.

So shall our song of triumph ever be:
Praise to the Crucified for victory.

Lift high the cross, the love of Christ proclaim,
Till all the world adore His sacred Name.

New Ministries

2010
Thursday, 28 January
04:51:45

Me: Good Morning Father. Thank you for waking me this morning. I love you Lord.

Lord: I am moving my people into new times. Ministries will come forward and be recognised in the assemblies, that were hidden away for fear of ridicule. I am raising up a new eldership to shepherd my people. Listen to my voice, O my people, that I may show you my will and desire for you.

Read my word and ponder it. Even though it may seen a hard or difficult saying, let me show you the truth that lies as the foundation of all I say. Share the scriptures together and be encouraged, as I open the Word to you. Do not open on the Sabbath and close the book for the next six days. Let My word be a meal for every day.

Talk to others about me and relate your experiences of me. The Testimony of Jesus, that is what He is doing in your life, is indeed the Spirit of Prophecy (Rev 19.10) Do not keep the message from the young, saying, “They are too young to understand.” I tell you the truth, the young receive the Word of God with more understanding and delight, than those who have become weary with the world and cluttered by religion. Encourage the children, and receive the kingdom of heaven yourself, with the same delight they have.

Seek me with your whole heart. Spend time getting to know me. Learn to hear my voice as I speak to you in the stillness of the quiet place. Bring your requests to me, and ask out of the yearning of your hearts. Recognise that it is I, the Lord your God, who put a hunger in your heart to see the Kingdom. That desire is in every man woman and child I have ever created. It is part of being in the image of God. I placed a little of myself in every human soul. I also designed into your body mind and Spirit, a ‘hot wired’ connection to me. As soon as anyone, believer or not, cries out to me, I hear their cry, and I respond. Hunger to see the gates of heaven teeming with those who are passing through and into my presence. That is my desire.

Study of My Word, the Witness of Jesus, and Prayer, are the three legs of a stool. They are equal in importance, and together form a firm foundation for a balanced relationship with Me. Let them also be recognised as ministries within the church. All three feed the body and all three reach outside the body to draw in the unsaved.

The worship of my people is important to me. Worship brings all my children together on an equal footing. I love to hear the cry from the heart, I love to hear the sound, and smell the sweet scent, of a song of praise, that comes from the heart. I collect all your tears of repentance, and hold them close to my heart. I channel the love that pours out of you and use it to oil the wheels and spindles of revival.

I am using all sorts of media to speak the message of Jesus, and I want you to recognise them and use them too. I speak through the written word, and encourage the use of all your modern methods of placing that word in people’s hearts. Use the Web, for if that is where people are looking, it is there they must find my Word, to point them to Jesus.

I am using Inspirational Art to convey my Word. Sometimes these works of creation stand on their own and need no explanation. Enjoy their beauty and their boldness, their colour and their detail, and be quickened by my Spirit. Sometimes these works are more difficult and disturbing and need interpretation. Wait on me and do not be afraid to say: “This is what that is saying to me.” Remember I am never negative in art. I inspire truth, and sometimes that truth is disturbing, but even when I show destruction it is often a warning (Amos 7.1-6). Hear what I am saying and heed my warnings!

I am using Music. Music can still the troubled soul (1 Samuel 16.14-end). Music can also aid you, in stilling a busy mind and help you to focus. Worship songs, mood music and scripture songs can be a first class aid to learning scripture, and lifting the soul into my throne room. My servant David, wrote music for praise and worship, as well as in his despair or state of mourning. Music is different in every generation. Do not despise the music of the young. Even the music of your youth was new once, and in every generation young people find me, and express their love for me, in their kind of music. Praise me through Music.

I am using Dance, Drama, Poetry, Films, Comedy and all kinds of humour to touch, to draw, and to help people find me.

Me: In all these expressions of yourself, let them point to Jesus and bring praise to him. Let them be acts of worship, not exhibitions of self. Let all you do be done in the name of the Lord, to His praise and glory.

Thank you Lord for your Love.

Transformation

2010
Wednesday, 27 January
05:01:35 -58 days to go

Me: Good Morning Lord, Thank you for waking me this morning and for keeping us safe last night. This is the day you have made help me to rejoice in this day and use it for your praise and glory. I Love You Lord! Jesus I Love You! Holy Spirit I Love You.

Lord: Good morning son. You're welcome, It's not so hard to get you up these days!

Much of the story of the children of Israel, is about their desire as a nation to have a house for Me to dwell in their midst. David expressed his concern that he had a palace, but the Ark of the Covenant was still housed in a tent! I am the God Almighty. I placed the stars in the heavens and created all thing that exist. I do not need a building of stone and wood in which to dwell. I established David's kingdom and rule as a kingdom which will last forever. The King who sits upon David's throne, is my Son Jesus. He needs no house of bricks and mortar. He asks only for a dwelling in your hearts! When Jesus dwells in your hearts, He is there at the centre of the society, of which you are part. I spoke of my desire to transform your society (see Monday 25th January). By making my dwelling in the hearts of men and women in every walk of life, I transform their lives, and touch those around, to transform them as well. Transformation will happen, in every part of society where my people live and work.

Focus your prayers on areas of influence and power in the land. Westminster, the Law Courts, the BBC and all the nations newspapers. prisons and schools, pubs, clubs, and even the established churches. Pray for the advertising industry, playwrights, and all those involved in the film industry. The list goes on. Pray that my my dwelling place will be in the hearts of people at the centre of these institutions. My job is to effect a transformation. The task of my people is prayer, prayer and more prayer! Pray especially for those involved in industries which are not good for your wellbeing. Arms and weapons, drugs and pornography, sex and exploitation. Pray for those who seek to keep violence on the streets, and for those who steal identities. Again the list goes on and on. Each of these areas involve people who have a hole in their lives they are trying to fill. It's a hole that only Jesus can fill. Do not dismiss anyone as being outside salvation. Pray Jesus in, and watch Him transform that person, industry, area of society. I will do this, if my people will pray!

You have asked me, 'What are the marks of this revival?'. The marks of this revival are that it will be a revival of the people, wherever they are. It will be like the revivals of Wesley's time, out in the streets and fields. It will be like the revival of Luther, calling ordinary people to the truth of the Word of God. It will be like the Scottish revivals of the 1850's through to the 1950's, affecting whole communities. It will be like the Welsh revivals of the early 1900's, where the leaders were young. It will be like the revival of the 1970's, a revival of signs and wonders. It will be like the revivals in Toronto and Florida, worldwide, fast spreading, like a wildfire! It will be like every revival I have ever initiated; it will centre on Jesus and prayer.

Hold this in your hearts: My word is eternal, it never changes. I do not waste my word, for every word I speak holds life. My Word is a rock that shall not be moved, a sure foundation on which to build. Jesus is that Word, the stone the builders rejected. When you build with Jesus your building will last forever. The thoughts, philosophies, and science of men, and even theologies, shift like wet sand under a tide. blowing with the winds of change. But my Word, which brought all things into being, stands unchanged forever.

Watch, focus and pray.

Me: Praise you Lord.

Gather around the Throne of God

2010
Tuesday, 26 January
04:49:47 - 59 days to go

Me: Good Morning Lord. Thank you for waking me this morning and for giving me this day. I love you and I worship you this morning for you are great in all the world.

Lord: Thank you son, good morning, I love you too, and I have been looking forward to this time with you. Relax in me for I have things to say.

Jesus: My disciples got confused when I talked about 'a little while' and wanted to pin me down to a calendar date. I don't want you to be confused or to worry about dates and times. The exact timing is in the hands of my Father, who controls all things. However, I can and will tell you this: the time has come for my followers to be mobilised. The time for sitting around in 'holy huddles' is past, and now is the time for each member of the body to draw near to the Father and learn from Him.

No one needs to worry about drawing close to the Father, for you can draw near in my name! What does that mean?

It means that you come to me first, and receive all I am offering you - forgiveness, cleansing, healing  and salvation. You effectively die on the cross with me, by handing over your burdens of sin and self. Acknowledge to me that you are not the centre of the universe, and allow me to sit on the throne in the centre of your heart. Receiving me into your heart and allowing me to sit on the throne, means that when you stand in the throne room of the Father, he sees not your sins, but the righteous cloak I have covered you with, my blood. Sin cannot enter into the throne room of God, which is proof for you, should you need it, that as you enter, all sin has been forgiven and washed away in my blood. So draw near to the Father and learn from Him.

As children, Martin, all five of you, used to gather round your father on a Sunday afternoon, and the little ones would sit on his knee or snuggle up to him, and he would tell you stories about his childhood. They were precious times, and many of the stories and instances he told you, have stayed with you all your life. Your heavenly Father wants all his children to gather round him and let him tell you of things that were, things that are, and of things to come. As you have already begun to discover in these early meetings, he wants to enter into every aspect of you life. He is in the fun, the humour, the joy, the pain, the laughter and the seriousness. He wants you to be aware of him as you work and as you play. He delights in the things you delight in, and he is ready to cry with you.

I said he wants ALL his children to gather round. All means ALL, not just those who think they are in charge, or those with up front ministries. It means all, from the oldest to the youngest even those who have just turned from their evil ways, and walked into the Holy of Holies for the first time. Once you are washed in my blood, the door of the inner room stands open, and there is a warm and enthusiastic welcome. So, I urge all my people to come to the Father and seek him in my name.

When the Father speaks, He speaks plainly, and He opens up the heart to understanding. He unstops the deaf ears and speaks plainly. He opens blind eyes to see sharply. His gifts for his children are many and varied and are handed out in the Spirit to aid and help you, his beloved family, to know and understand, to see and to work as one with Him. Each gift is wrapped in love and should be used in love for the upbuilding of all God's people.

Lord: Keep Jesus as your centre, each day check he is on the throne, and in all your decisions. As I mobilise the Church into action in these days, I need soldiers with a clear personal close relationship with me. Men and women who are able to hear my immediate message and who are ready to drop one thing, and move to be where I want them. I am about to give a new freedom to talk about me and to proclaim the message of salvation. I want my people to be ready to pray, to speak, to listen and to do, as I lead. I invite you, my beloved people, to ask me directly for the souls of the unsaved. Ask me, and I will pour out on you my good pleasure. Enjoy this time I am moving you into. I shall!

Commit all your ways to the Lord your God, bring all those I lay upon your heart to me in prayer and ask for them. Yearn for my Kingdom to come on earth, long for the unsaved to come in out of the cold. Long for and work towards revival in these days. Then, lift your eyes to the hills and see the salvation of God for this nation and be glad.

John 16:23-28 (NIV - UK)

In that day you will no longer ask me anything. I tell you the truth, my Father will give you whatever you ask in my name. Until now you have not asked for anything in my name. Ask and you will receive, and your joy will be complete. Though I have been speaking figuratively, a time is coming when I will no longer use this kind of language but will tell you plainly about my Father. In that day you will ask in my name. I am not saying that I will ask the Father on your behalf. No, the Father himself loves you because you have loved me and have believed that I came from God.

Repent and be saved

2010
Monday, 25 January
04:59:42

Me: Good Morning Lord. Thank you for waking me this morning. I Love You, Lord.

Lord: I Love you my son, I love all men and women everywhere, and I long with a deep yearning, for them to turn from their wicked ways, and repent before me. Sin is the downfall of all mankind, and sin is anything at all that keeps you from me! No one on the planet can be free of sin until they come to Jesus in true repentance.

The wickedness of people in this land grows daily and each day more evil is brought to light. The hearts of peace loving, God fearing people, are appalled at what they see and hear. Britain is a broken and hurting society, it will continue to crumble into decay, until its people turn back to me, and repent of their sins.

No political system of men will reverse this decay, for politics can only deal with symptoms and there are so many symptoms no man knows where to begin. I do not deal with symptoms! I deal with the root cause of the problem, which is simple: Sin!

All have sinned and have fallen short. All have turned their back on me. They have not consulted me or asked for advice. All men and women in the land, think they have to put things right, or find a solution. There is only one solution: Return to the Lord your God and say to him:

Forgive all our sins and receive us graciously,
that we may offer you praise, the fruit of our lips.
We acknowledge that the strength of armies cannot save us,
human alliances cannot save us.
Laws, rules and restrictions cannot save us.
We have no means of transport fast enough
to save us from destruction
and no hole deep enough to hide us.
You O Lord are our only help.
We turn to you and cry out to you;
forgive us our sins and heal our waywardness.
Turn your anger from us.
Send the Holy Spirit to guide us into the paths of righteousness.
In Jesus' Name we ask it.

If my people who are called by my name will repent and turn to me then I will hear their prayer and come and heal their land.

Light up, once again, the fires of prayer in your midst. Turn to me with your whole heart, and pray from the depths of your soul. Nothing is too hard for me, and the desire of my heart is to bring all men everywhere, into my kingdom. It is always right to pray for salvation and conversion. Pray to see whole communities transformed by My Holy Spirit, whole cities set alight with the glorious gospel of Jesus. I will transform your streets, shopping malls, prisons, hospitals, schools, theatres, politics, laws, banking, armed forces. I will create a new society, if my people will turn to me and repent, and seek my face.

Hosea 14:4-9 (NIV)
I will heal their waywardness and love them freely, for my anger has turned away from them. I will be like the dew to Israel; he will blossom like a lily. Like a cedar of Lebanon he will send down his roots; his young shoots will grow. His splendour will be like an olive tree, his fragrance like a cedar of Lebanon. Men will dwell again in his shade. He will flourish like the corn. He will blossom like a vine, and his fame will be like the wine from Lebanon. O Ephraim, what more have I to do with idols? I will answer him and care for him. I am like a green pine tree; your fruitfulness comes from me.

Who is wise? He will realise these things. Who is discerning? He will understand them. The ways of the LORD are right; the righteous walk in them, but the rebellious stumble in them.

Revival - Part of the Whole

2010
Sunday, 24 January
05:00:42

Lord: With your mind so much these days on revivals, past and present, be aware that there were some mighty revivals in the days of the Old Testament. Some 500 years before Jesus came, I made it possible for my servant Nehemiah, to return from exile, to start rebuilding the Holy City, Jerusalem, My Temple and the city walls. At that time the people were still far from me and had become ignorant of the Laws I had given them. They had become, to a great extent contaminated, through living with a heathen people. But in spite of this they had stayed together, paying lip service to me, and longing, as all exiles do, to return to their homes. It was I the Lord who heard the cry of their heart and made that return possible. I did this because I remembered the promise I made, to their father's Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and again to my servant David, that their generations would possess, and live in the Land I had given them, for all time.

After their return to the ruins of Jerusalem, I caused my Spirit to move amongst them, and I gave them a hunger and an openness, to my ways. Then I anointed and sent Ezra to be their teacher, and revival broke out. As in all modern revivals, this 'move of my Spirit' was centred on My Word, the Word of God. Ezra led prayers, and they sang, and they listened from dawn till noon, to the reading and exposition of the Word. All who could understand, men and women, and even children, came to hear and be enlightened. This went on every day for a whole month.

As the people heard the Word of the Lord read to them, they heard how I commanded certain practices of remembrance, to be used for all time. So they renewed their commitment to these practices. This was a great joy to them, and was all part of the renewal process. In later revivals, even those within living memory, I have renewed certain practices, such as Baptism, the Lord's Supper, and waiting on the Spirit for gifts. In each revival these practices have brought great joy. I don't want any of them to be forgotten again, but I want them always to be fresh, and in their right place, without too much emphasis on any one, to the exclusion of another. In all the Christian revivals, I want the centre to be focused on my Son Jesus. Even in the time of Ezra they were looking forward to the 'day of the Lord' - a time when I would come among them in person. I came in the person of Jesus, and am even now with you, in Jesus, through the Holy Spirit.

There are other revivals in the Bible, still to be discovered and expounded. Each one is a part of the whole picture, Like the different parts of the body, each is dependant on the others, and each adds something to the overall function of the body. At the time of the Charismatic Revival, in the 60's and 70's, many called them selves 'Full Gospel' but the real 'Full Gospel' is when all the lessons, and functions, of each revival in history, have been learnt, embraced and acted on. In the same way, a fully functional Church, does not over emphasise any one ministry or rite, but embraces them all, and recognises all the ministries and gifts, of the Holy Spirit, and uses them all, in a balance I show them.

To hasten in the next revival, hunger for souls and pray. Read my Word, in the Light Jesus gives, and focus on Him. Remain open for me to do the unexpected, and pray continually, for the young men and women I am raising up, for front line ministry. Share this.

Lord, how Awesome..

2010
Saturday, 23 January
05:00:00

Me: Good Morning Lord, Thank you for a good night's sleep and for waking me this morning. I Love you Lord.

Lord: Good Morning Son, welcome to the club. Thank you for joining us. I love you too, Let's spend a few moments together enjoying each others company.

A time of worship...

The LORD is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in love.
He will not always accuse, nor will he harbour his anger for ever;
he does not treat us as our sins deserve or repay us according to our iniquities.
For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his love for those who fear him;
as far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us.
As a father has compassion on his children, so the LORD has compassion on those who fear him; for he knows how we are formed, he remembers that we are dust.
As for man, his days are like grass, he flourishes like a flower of the field;
the wind blows over it and it is gone, and its place remembers it no more.
But from everlasting to everlasting the LORD's love is with those who fear him, and his righteousness with their children's children? with those who keep his covenant and remember to obey his precepts.


The LORD has established his throne in heaven, and his kingdom rules over all.
Praise the LORD, you his angels, you mighty ones who do his bidding, who obey his word.
Praise the LORD, all his heavenly hosts, you his servants who do his will.
Praise the LORD, all his works everywhere in his dominion.
Praise the LORD, O my soul.
Psalm 103. 8-end

Lord: Fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. As my people begin to realise just how great and awesome I am, and realise that alongside of me they are no more than dust, they will see just how wonderful a salvation I have prepared for them. Who is man that I should be mindful of him? You have cleared the garage and have unearthed the corpses of all kinds of insects and creatures that have been the prey of spiders. I knew when each of these insects met their doom, yet you did not even realise they were there. Each of their lives passed without man even caring, but I cared. If man is but dust on the scales, those tiny insects don't even register! Yet every one is known to me. How much more do I know and care about you, little man, who is made in my image, and possesses a portion of my love! Not one single drop of your blood is spilt without me knowing and measuring it.

Consider the stars in the heavens. I not only number them and name them, but I created them all, and the forces of the universe that cause the stars to move on their heavenly paths. Not one speck of dust in the entire universe is unaccounted for. Man in his own arrogance dares to say God has left his creation to run down. God has not left his creation one instant. Since its creation I have watched over every tiny part of it, and no one has been born or died, that I do not know intimately. I love this creation I have made, I care for it and nurture it, and guide all living things down pathways I have prepared. Yes, you have reason to fear the Lord your God, for he is higher above the heavens than can even be imagined by your tiny mind. My thoughts are so much higher than your thoughts that, all the arguments and thoughts of men, down all the ages of man, do not even disturb one thread of my thoughts. However I know all your thoughts, all your loves and hates, your joys and your fears, your times and your parting. I care about the smallest detail of your lives.

Wisdom, is to begin to know these things, and to understand just how insignificant you are in the whole, and yet how much I love you.

Every insect carcass in your garage, passed through its life without being aware of me, and became just a statistic in the record of the universe. You, however, are all precious to me, and I desire that not one, shall pass away unaware of my love. That is why I sent my son, that all men might hear about my love, and find the path I have made to bring them from the darkness of death, into the glorious light of life.

Even in the cycle of life in the garage, the spider itself dies, and a new generation of predators is born and dies. When I created the universe and laid the foundations of the earth, I was old beyond all the imaginings of man, yet since the foundations of the earth to its final destruction, I have not aged, and am as young as I am old! Fear me and love me, and you will find that I care for you, and provide each day for all your needs. Though the earth dry up and the rivers run dry, I will always provide for you the water of life, which flows from me, and gives you life.

What I have given you, is a picture of what things are like. The picture is a picture in your wakefulness and is static and with a single meaning, a description of the facts. I am pouring out visions at this time, and dreams, that tell of things yet to be. I will teach you, and any who are open to my thoughts and my ways, how to both see with your spiritual eyes, and how to interpret the dreams and visions you see. Some will be disturbing, even frightening, but do not be afraid. I do not give them to frighten you, but to warn and to guide. I do not give visions dreams and direct words without giving an interpretation. Wait on me, and I will reveal the meanings.

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of Wisdom. Be wise in me. I Love you.

Dreams and Visions

2010
Friday, 22 January
05:00:36


Lord: Have you noticed, as you read the scriptures, even the hard passages, how I put pictures into your mind. All scripture is pictures, and your speaking and teaching is most effective when you use pictures. Visions or pictures bring light and colour to your mind as well as understanding. There are several things I want to say about visions.

Wait with them. Expect my word to conjure up pictures for you. As you read the Word or as you listen to me speak, let the pictures form in your mind and be displayed on the screen of your inner eye. Gaze on it, study it and recall it, so that its meaning can dawn on you. Vision and pictures are a common part of the learning process for children, but for some reason it is not thought appropriate for adults, who are encouraged to think in abstract thoughts and words. Adults also think using pictures, and behind every great writing is a picture. Make pictures in your mind's eye part of everyday life. Learn to read the picture, in the same way you take in any scene in life. Ask yourself what is happening in this picture, who is there and what are they doing. Draw your first conclusion from the obvious, then look at the detail, and see if that changes the meaning. If the meaning or the reason for the picture is unclear, then prayerfully ask for clearer vision or clarification. I give visions because I want you to understand something, or to hear what I am saying. If you don't see what it means, I will give you another vision. Those who focus on me and see their visions as coming from me, will learn to read them and understand them.

As you look at the pictures and begin to see what they are about, ask yourself two questions:
Does this picture apply to me? And if so how?
Does this picture apply to others or more generally? If so,to whom, and how?

Visions and pictures are, at some point, to share. When others hear about your vision their mind's eye also catches the light and sees the detail. It is good to share visions and pictures with other believers, so that they, prayerfully, can test out your interpretation and perhaps add to it. When others share their pictures with you, do not dismiss them but treat them as from me, and wait on the meaning until it is fully understood. Write them down or record them in some way.

In the coming months and years I am going to use the visual gifts more and more in revealing truth to my people. It will be both an encouragement to the believer, and a sign for the unbeliever.

The visionary and the dreamer of dreams are as important to the church as any other ministry, and should be prayerfully encouraged and listened to. I am already speaking to others about dreams and visions, as I am speaking to you about prophecy and preaching.

This sort of inspired sight should not be watered down or confused with people who are full of good ideas. Those gifts are good also, but are more a natural gift of seeing possibilities, and are the product of an active alert mind, not necessarily me speaking to the Church.

Where I give vision, I also give understanding. Sometimes it is important that the interpretation and understanding comes from another person, as with the gift of tongues, where one speaks and another interprets. This is not however a rule! Many of my visionaries understand and interpret themselves.

Be always open for the many ways I am speaking and teaching my people in these days, for I am doing a new work in your land. I am mobilising a might army and equipping them for action. Prayer warriors awake, Soldiers of Christ arise, Prophets listen and speak as the Lord leads, Visionaries and Dreamers open the eyes of your spirit and let me show you. My church must be ready to move when they hear My battle cry, Jesus is Lord!

Come to Me

2010
Wednesday, 20 January
05:01:25

Me: Good Morning Lord,. Thank you for waking me this morning and for giving me this new day. I Love you Lord.

Lord: I love you too son, thank you for joining me, I love these times together in the mornings, Please don't feel worried about your thoughts being disjointed or haphazard. that's why these times are so good, so I can help you sort them out, and begin to focus on Jesus.

Jesus: Time to be with me is so important. I invite my people into my dwelling place, near to the very heart of God. This place is a place of radiance, It is filled with the light of my Father. Once you have been into the near presence of the Almighty, once you have come with me into the heart of heaven you will always yearn with a deep longing to return. No worship on earth can fully compare with the worship of heaven,though it comes close at times. To get close and draw near, take my hand and let me lead you. Let me be your strength and the Way. Set your heart on the Way of the Lord, and follow in His pathways, and My Father in heaven will bless your pilgrimage. Though the storm may rage about you, your path will be still and bright and the flowers by the wayside will blossom. Though you walk through a desert where all is dry and hot, I shall make your way like a stream, and you shall cool yourself in the waters of life. Put your hand in my hand and let me lead you and bring you to the Holy place of my Father. As you walk with me, you shall go from strength to strength. I shall be your strength and shield; I shall be the still small voice in your ear. In me you will find salvation and strength.

Me. Blessed is the one who puts his trust in you, O Lord. Help us to focus on you and keep hold of your guiding hand.

Jesus: Those whom the Father has given me, I keep safe that none may be lost.

Come to me, all who find life hard, who feel all things are set against you, come to me and find in me, one who knows your pain and hurt, for I have suffered with you. Come to me and lay your burden down and enjoy the rest I give. Why do you labour so over that which is pointless. Seek first the Kingdom of God, and all the things you need, food and clothing, a place to shelter and rest, will be added to you out of My Fathers bounty.

Come to me, all of you who are burdened by sin and addiction. Sin is anything that comes between us and addiction is that which you cannot let go of. Come to me and cry out to me, acknowledge and confess your sins, and let me deal with them. I the Lord, and I alone have dealt with sin once and for all on the Cross. Here on the Cross I took your sins away and carried them to hell where I cast them in a burning lake of fire. Once I deal with your sin, it is finished; it becomes as though it never was. Turn you back on it and walk to me. Keep me in the centre of your gaze and let me wash you with the water of life, and restore in you the image of my Father, which was placed in you the day He created you.

Come to me, all you, who have grown weary on the road of life, stop for a while and drink of me. Your life has become too busy and your centre has become focused on things of the earth. The voice of mammon has become a background noise that you find hard to switch ff. Pause, stop, listen to me. let me be your focus let me be the way. Lay aside the 'things' you are doing for me and do the things I require of you. These things you will only know when you listen to me. Better to spend one day with me, standing on the threshold of heaven, than to be so busy you miss the door! Stop. Look at me, and wait for me to speak directly to you.

My Father in Heaven will bless all those who trust me and take my name upon them. Come to Him in Jesus' Name.

Meditation: Psalm 84

Like a Bride adorned for her Husband

2010
Sunday, 17 January
04:53:22 - (68 days to go!)

Lord: Your God is a great big God. He is not confined to wood metal or stone, like the thousands of idols most of the world worshipped, and still do. The Bible doesn't always fully express the delight and thrill I, the Lord your God, take in the creation I have made. When I made the earth, formed the land, and filled it with every living thing, I delighted in everything I made. I enjoyed making it perfect, and as I laughed and sang, creation began to sing with me. My breath caused the wind to blow, the trees began to dance in the wind. The birds soared on the thermals, swooping to the earth in the first formation dance ever. The animals of the field looked up from their grazing and joined their voices to the choir, why even the stars sang in their heavenly pathways, rejoicing with me, and sharing in my joy.

Throughout the Bible you will catch glimpses of this delight I feel in my creation, and of the great love I have for all things and all people. In Isaiah 62, I was rejoicing in my people whom I formed. I selected them and drew them apart. To show you the delight I feel in you, I had to use pictures that you can relate to, so I used the intimate picture of, the delight a young man feels in his new bride. That is the delight, I feel in you, when your righteousness shines like a bright light. A bride flourishes and blossoms in the love of her husband, you too can flower like a perfect rose, in the love and adoration I feel for you.

So great is my love for you, that I have allowed my Holy Spirit to dwell in you. My Spirit tunes you into, the things of heaven. He provides you with spiritual gifts beyond any natural human gifts. These are my wedding presents, to my bride, the Church. Wear these gifts that I give you and value them, like a bride values the ring on her finger, the symbol of oneness with her husband. Recognise the gifts I have given to each member of the body, encourage their use and their growth, for these gifts are not for your pleasure alone, but for the Church to grow and be effective. As my bride, the Church, uses the gifts I have given you, and you shall be like a young woman adorning herself with beautiful fragrances, and making herself beautiful for her husband. I laugh, and I shout for joy, when I see my church thus clothed.

When Jesus, my beloved son, visited his mother in Cana, they went together to a family wedding. In the first public miracle he performed, Jesus showed them, how much I care about every detail. Wine is provided as a sign of celebration and joy. It is also a sign of love, and the wine flowing at a wedding helps all the guests to enter into the celebration and joy of the young couple. For the wine to run out when things were in full flood, was not only a disgrace to the family, but would be seen as a disaster for the couples relationship with each other. By turning the water, some 160 gallons of it, into the finest wine available, I showed how much I love and value them, and in turn, how much I value you.

I am the bridegroom, and you my beloved church, are my bride. I love you more than any groom ever loved his bride. I take great delight in you, for you bring joy and laughter into my house, and I want the very best for you. Do not be afraid to explore, use and delight, in the many spiritual gifts I have poured out on you. They are given that you may be used to help heal our broken and hurting family. I came into the world to bring life. I came to heal and to save my broken world. I have defeated the evil one, and we are now doing a mop up operation to bring home our wounded children.

As I delight in you my beloved, delight in me, and in the work we do together.

Oh that My Church would Seek me in Prayer

2010
Friday, 15 January
04:57:32

Lord: I desire with all my heart that many others, will come to me at any time of the day. I would that you will listen to me long enough to hear my voice and feel my presence with you. I long for all my Church to be at prayer, to join together in praise and worship, and to make My Word a part of your life.

When my people pray, I act. When my people pray, I hear their prayer. I always hear  your prayers; there has never been a prayer you have uttered that I have not answered.

I have my heart focused on revival The gates of heaven are opening and the wind and flood of my Spirit are ready to be released. Shout to me and make your voice heard, pray to me in the morning; in the afternoon; and in the evening, then pray to me in the night watches. Pray that I will raise up my army of prayer warriors. Pray that I will send workers into the vineyard, to gather in the harvest. Pray that I will speak through prophets, evangelists, and teachers, that I will raise up the right leaders and warriors for the front line.

Recognise and cover the backs of those I raise up, with fervent prayer. For every soul dedicated to proclaiming the word, or ministering to those needing my salvation, will require at least three people to pray for them, all the time.

I am not calling those who proclaim, to have a ministry of prayer, their ministry is that of proclamation! Oh yes, they pray, to keep in touch with me. That way they know what to say, but the ministry of prayer and of intercession, is a separate, and very important ministry in its own right. I want my Church, to be a Church of Prayer. Individuals praying, small groups of two or three praying, and prayer gatherings where the whole body comes together, not to talk, but to pray!

Pray:
For your own salvation,
that you will hear my voice,
that would will find, and fulfil the ministry, to which I have called you.
Pray for each other,
Pray for those in ministry of any kind.
Pray for those on the fringes of the church.
Pray for the unsaved.
Pray for revival,
Pray for the Kingdom of God.
Pray for the world and your systems of Government, law, and justice.
Pray for the nations, and the leaders of nations, especially for their conversion.

As you pray for this nation pray for a Christian Revival at all levels of society.

I sent salvation into the world through Jesus only. I want this nation for Jesus. I do not bring salvation of mankind through any other religion, or any other name. I bring salvation through Jesus only. All religions do not lead to me.

Claim this country back for me, starting where you are. Raise up your voice for Jesus.

Ask your prospective parliamentary candidates where they stand with the Lord Jesus, and demand nothing less than a full commitment to Jesus from them. This countries laws and society are firmly based on biblical principals. They have served you well over the years, do not let them get thrown out in favour of a lesser standard.

Pray for a stirring of the Holy Spirit in your denomination. The time has come for all believers to work together for My kingdom. I have no time for petty divisions. I am not interested in your theological differences. I am only concerned for your souls, and for the salvation of those who have never heard, of Jesus, and are wondering around in the darkness. How can they know if you don’t tell them? How can you tell them, if you don’t know me yourself?

Psalm 63
A psalm of David. When he was in the Desert of Judah.

O God, you are my God, earnestly I seek you; my soul thirsts for you, my body longs for you, in a dry and weary land where there is no water.

I have seen you in the sanctuary and beheld your power and your glory. Because your love is better than life, my lips will glorify you.

I will praise you as long as I live, and in your name I will lift up my hands. My soul will be satisfied as with the richest of foods; with singing lips my mouth will praise you.

On my bed I remember you; I think of you through the watches of the night. Because you are my help, I sing in the shadow of your wings.

My soul clings to you; your right hand upholds me. They who seek my life will be destroyed; they will go down to the depths of the earth.

They will be given over to the sword and become food for jackals.

But the king will rejoice in God; all who swear by God's name will praise him, while the mouths of liars will be silenced.

I will keep you in Perfect Peace

2010
Thursday, 14 January
04:55:44

Lord: I want you all to keep your minds and your hearts fixed on me. Trust me, and me alone, the time for putting any trust in the world is past. Those who follow the statutes of the worlds wisdom, will fall by the wayside, and be trampled under foot. Those who follow the way of the Lord will rise up, and shout for joy, and their voice shall be heard in all the earth.

Do not be slow in singing the songs of the Lord, praising the Name of Jesus. Allow your voices to rise in harmony. Let your hearts be quickened by the Holy Spirit, as you proclaim His praises and utter His Name. Let the mighty Name of Jesus become a name that All know and love, for it is in this Name, and this Name alone, that you are saved. Be bold and be very courageous, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.

I the Lord, will keep you in perfect peace, though the storm may rage about you, if your mind is fixed on me.

I, the Lord your God, will accomplish great things in your midst, for it is me that is working among you. Your hands accomplish nothing, you have done nothing at all for the salvation of mankind. That work is a work of grace, and grace comes only from the Cross of Jesus. Hold onto that grace, for it is to you a lifebelt. With the lifebelt of grace firmly around you, and in your grasp, you are saved. I do not let go, and I do not lose, any whom I save.

I want my children to have peace in their hearts, and to show my peace in the manner of their lives. The peace I give, is not like the peace of the world. The world's peace, is governed by outside influences and worldly standards, which change with every wind. My peace comes from within. When we come, the Father, Jesus, and the Spirit, and make our home in your hearts, our peace and perfect harmony rise up within you, to fill every part of you. The peace I give no other can give, and it will be your rock in times of tribulation and change. Keep your eyes fixed on Jesus.

From within the peace and security I shall give you, you will look out and see, the Lord is about to destroy worldly systems, and make 'the marketplace' a wasteland. Isaiah 24.1-3

See, the LORD is going to lay waste the earth and devastate it;
he will ruin its face and scatter its inhabitants?
it will be the same for priest as for people, for master as for servant,
for mistress as for maid, for seller as for buyer,
for borrower as for lender, for debtor as for creditor.
The earth will be completely laid waste and totally plundered.
The LORD has spoken this word.

But, for those who trust in the Lord, He will hold you in the hollow of His hand and cover you . He will keep in perfect peace, all who mind is fixed on Jesus. Isaiah 26.1-9.

A Song of Praise
In that day this song will be sung in the land of Judah:
We have a strong city; God makes salvation its walls and ramparts.
Open the gates that the righteous nation may enter, the nation that keeps faith.
You will keep in perfect peace him whose mind is steadfast, because he trusts in you.
Trust in the LORD for ever, for the LORD, the LORD, is the Rock eternal.
He humbles those who dwell on high, he lays the lofty city low;
he levels it to the ground and casts it down to the dust.
Feet trample it down? the feet of the oppressed, the footsteps of the poor.

The path of the righteous is level;
O upright One, you make the way of the righteous smooth.
Yes, LORD, walking in the way of your laws, we wait for you;
your name and renown are the desire of our hearts.
My soul yearns for you in the night; in the morning my spirit longs for you.
When your judgments come upon the earth,
the people of the world learn righteousness.

In all the devastation of lives, amid the weeping of broken hearts, proclaim with boldness the Name of Jesus. Share the Good News in all its fullness. Do not be like the hypocrites who 'water down' the truth, to make it more acceptable. My truth stands, and is like a strong medicine. It must be taken in its fullness. The truth is like a surgeons knife; a tool of healing in a firm and confident hand, but a weapon of destruction when wielded by those who do not know the Lord. I am the Way, the truth and the Life. In me is all holiness, all truth, and all love, come to me, and drink and live, then together, we will bring the light of truth and healing, to a devastated world.

Come to me, all 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.
Matthew 11.28-30

Jesus at the Centre

2010
Monday, 11 January
04:55:07

Me: Good Morning Lord, Thank you for waking me this morning and for a good nights sleep. I Love you.

Lord: Good morning Son, Welcome to our session of praise this morning. (Time of praise and worship and a reading from John 6 25-59)

Me: Lord, what must we do, to be doing the works that God requires?

Lord: The work God requires of all of you is the same as it always was, that you believe in the one he has sent. The Gospel of Jesus is the centre. (John 6.21)

Before you can come into the centre of my will, before you can even creep into the corner of my throne room you must have the name of Jesus, my beloved son, written on your heart. In order for the name of Jesus to be written on your heart you need to take the Word, that's Jesus, and take him into yourself. Some simplify that truth in the words, ask Jesus into their lives. It is that simple but the truth of what that simple step does is profound. To receive Jesus into your life is like taking a mouthful of food and chewing on it, with every chew you get more flavour and more nourishment. The symbolism of Jesus as My Word, and the Bread of Life, is not accidental. The Word, my word needs to be listened to, taken in, chewed over and digested. In exactly the same way you take food into your bodies, so you must take, eat and digest the Word of God. As you absorb and digest the Word of God in Jesus, you will find the desire to be more like Jesus. In order to be like Jesus you must take his life into yourself. The life of every living creature is in the blood, so taking the life of Jesus into your being is to have his blood flowing in your veins. When my Son was crucified on the Cross of Calvary, His precious life giving blood was shed. It flowed from his side and He died. It was through this act of dying and shedding his blood that you and all men and women find salvation. Take his Life into you. like drinking a cup of wine helps the food go down, so you need to take the life of Jesus into you to make the Word of God live. DO NOT make the mistake of worshipping the elements of bread and wine. This was never the Lords intention. He wanted, that whenever we shared a meal together with those who believe in Jesus, you remember that every Word He spoke, and every drop of blood he shed, was for you, and to treasure and nurture the Word of salvation in your hearts and lives. It is a sadness to me that this very simple illustration of the truth has in itself become a matter of ritual and even worship. That is not my intention. A ritual looses its potency and soon becomes a stumbling block when those who partake, forget, or do not fully understand the meaning. Yes I know the words of the Communion rite contain all the teaching needed, but because it has become a thing you do, even that washes over people without going in. I want my children to worship Jesus and to believe in him and in what he has done for their salvation, not because they like the ritual of eating a sliver of paste or having a sip of wine.

Martin, when you lead my people in the Eucharist, I want you to share this meal in a new and living way. Let all those who love Jesus partake. For those who don't know him or love him, it is better they do not pretend.

Those who claim that the Eucharist is central to Anglican or Catholic worship, have totally missed the point. It is not to be the centre at all. Jesus is the only centre in the Christian walk, and you should worship Him, not any symbol or rite. The Eucharist is only a symbol to help you understand that truth. The established Churches must re-focus and re-centre if they are to survive. If Jesus is not in the centre, they are lost, and are of no use in this revival.

John 6:53-56 (NIV)
Jesus said to them, "I tell you the truth, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. For my flesh is real food and my blood is real drink. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me, and I in him.

Me: Lord, does that mean we shouldn't have Communion Services?

Lord: No, that is not what I am saying. Jesus instituted Communion to be a help to you, only He intended it to be as the Christian family came together to share a meal together, a remembrance of Him, and all that he achieved on the Cross. He made no rules about children not receiving, or of the elements becoming anything more than a symbol. It is as you receive Jesus and His Word, and as you take His life blood into your system, that you become more like Him. This can just as easily be done without the symbols. The rite of communion is not magic! It is supposed to be an aid, nothing more.

My message to you and to my Church today is simple, Jesus is the Centre.

Sunday 10 January 2010

Spread the Good News

2010
Sunday, 10 January
04:59:55

Me: Good Morning Lord, Thank you for waking me this morning, I Love you Lord.

Lord: Good morning Son, welcome to the club, I love you too.

Me: O Lord, let your voice be heard in our nation, let your Word go out and be received. As your Word went out in the Old and the New Testament, so let it be heard today, and bring about a big turning to you. Lord my heart yearns to see revival, Lord I desire to see your church so filled with the lord Jesus, that your Holy Spirit is free to work among it in Pentecostal power.

Lord: I say to you that my Holy Spirit is always free and moves among My people. In this and in every age there have been those have been open to and used by me with signs and wonders following. I am not restricted by the openness of the establishment, nor am I able to use only the 'pentecostal' churches. I fill with my Spirit those who I choose and I manifest my signs and wonders as I will, not by the command of men.

I want my people, all who are called by my Name to spread the greatest news the world has ever heard, the news about Jesus, with enthusiasm and vigour. Mankind was condemned to Hell, condemned to be eternally destroyed, because of sin. You were all under a sentence of death, because your sin remained un-dealt with. There was no way in heaven or on the earth, that you, by your own efforts, skill, or pleading, could stand straight before the throne of judgement, before which, all must one day stand. It was only when I acted, when I sent my own dearly loved Son Jesus into the world, that there was any hope that mankind would come near to me again. It is through Jesus and through Him alone that salvation is made available to men. There is no other way. Man is saved through the Name of Jesus and by no-other name will you be saved.

I am pouring out my Holy Spirit in these days. I am anointing and preparing those whom I have chosen to speak the words of Life. At the same time I am bringing many people low, and causing a great dissatisfaction with their lives. I am causing many to become aware of their sinfulness. Be ready to lead them to Jesus, for salvation is found in Him alone.

Oh that my Church, those who are called by my name would wake up and be excited as I am excited, at the prospect of many coming into the family and the Kingdom of heaven growing. In the days and the months ahead I am working in the hearts of countless thousands, I am changing attitudes and even the very core of society. I am establishing a new work in the land, where the responsibility for spreading the good news rests with my Church, and not with establishments and denominations. You are never to ask anymore, "What denomination are you". When anyone asks that you tell them about Jesus, speak with boldness, for I will be with you. No one who testifies to Jesus will be put to shame.

In these days My Spirit will be very active, not only in signs and wonders, but in refreshing and equipping the saints for their task. As in previous revivals I will give special strength to all who speak my word. I will cause my prayer warriors to be alert and watchful.

All those who speak the Word of God must know who are praying for them. Do not be slow in asking the prayer warriors to pray. This role of prayer, of holding the prophets, evangelists and preachers before me, is vital to the growth of the kingdom.

Mobilise the young people. Set their hearts on fire with the Gospel. Don't stuff them with head knowledge before you encourage them to share their story, for that inhibits them. Get them to tell their story as soon as they have one to tell. I am the one who will tell them what to say, I will speak through them in power. I will be their teacher as they devour my word, and stay close to me in prayer.

Now son, to today. The message is simple:

I have formed you, I have called you, I am with you.

In the beginning I formed the world. To the prophet I said, I formed you before I placed you in your mother's womb. To Israel I said, I formed you and called you by name. It is I the Lord your God who made you out of the clay. With my own hands I fashioned you and shaped you. It is I, who breathed the breath of life into you, yet you still rebel against me.

How long will you rebel and harbour sin in your heart, how long will I wait for you to turn to me and seek my face. To you I have entrusted the good news of the kingdom, the most precious gift I could give, my Son, yet you would confine him to a compartment, a Sunday only existence. I gave my Son that He might be shared with a world that needs him. Take Jesus into your heart today, receive him as your Lord and resolve this year to share Jesus with someone every day. Notice I said share Jesus. This is not about sharing the Church, you are not selling seats in this building, You are to share Jesus, your story of what Jesus has done for you. You do not have to convert, or to convince, just tell the truth. It is the work of my Holy Spirit to convince, convict and convert. This is about filling the Kingdom of heaven.

As I have loved you, so you must love others. The love I have given you I want you to share with those around you. This love is, the knowledge that Jesus is your Saviour, and that he wants to be their saviour too.

Let your light so shine before men,
that they may see your good works
and glorify your Father which is in Heaven.

Times of Change

Me: Good Morning Lord, I love you, thank you for waking me this morning.

Lord: Hi Martin, welcome to the 5 o'clock group this morning. I love you too....

These are to be days of change. All times, are times of change, but in these days, the changes will be felt by all peoples. Many will be disturbed and frightened by the changes they see. You are not be afraid, for I the Lord am doing a new work,  I am in control. Some will say to you, 'Where is your God in all these events.' You are to say to them: 'As surely as the Lord lives, He is in control'.

Is anything too hard for me? Is anything I have made, outside of my control? Not even the courses of the stars in the heavens, are out of my control, for I order all things and sustain all life. I neither sleep nor turn away from all that I have made. Your lives in all their details are clear to me. Not only did I plan your lives, but I also watch over them. If I care about you as individuals, and I do, am I not also able to care for, and watch over the affairs of the nations? It is I, the Lord, who causes the rising and the falling of all men and women. The world shudders at the fall of those who are thought to be great, but I say to you, the greatest people on earth, are those who guide my sheep home to the fold. The currency of heaven, is not weighed in gold or silver, or in treasure that passes away, but is measured in Love. The highest currency denomination, in my kingdom, is Love for Jesus, my Son. The next one down, is love for those around you. Build up your bank accounts of love, for the more you love, the more love grows, if you stop loving, even what you have, will surely pass away.

Jesus, my beloved son, whom I love, has shown the greatest love ever seen in the universe. He has given up the glory of the kingdom of heaven, to seek out and love, the unlovely and the unloved. To find the lost and the broken, the hurt and the deformed. He sees, not what human eyes see, for he sees the spiritual reality. You look and you see a beautiful form, and you think that is good, you look and see disfigurement, and you think, that is bad. But I say to you, there is more beauty in the soul of a disfigured body who knows me, than in the perfection of earthly beauty without me.

Look and see with the eyes of the world, to compare, and then ask me to show you what the eye of the spirit sees. Let me teach you to see with the inner eye, that you may discern, with your spirit, what I already know. Then, you will see as I see, and will discern my will in any situation. As you discern my will, the changes around you will not be frightening any more. The days are coming when all the diplomacy and skill of men, all the reasoning and learning of the wise, will not be enough, to find a solution to the problems mankind has to face.

I have all the answers, for I have made all things, and I alone know all that I have made, on every level of it's existence. I not only know it, but I have a master plan. I know its beginning and its end. Come to me in those days, and ask for help. To as many as call upon me for help, I will provide the answer, and will lead them through these times. It is my will that none shall be lost, and that all men and women, boys and girls, will know Me as, the Lord their provider, the Lord their Way. The only way for them to know me, is to know Jesus, who is My Word, made human. Point to Jesus, Come to Jesus, Let Jesus lead you into the very throne room of heaven.

"Give thanks to the LORD Almighty,
for the LORD is good; his love endures for ever."
Jeremiah 33.11 (NIV)

When you come and stand in the presence of the Lord Almighty, know this: You are able to stand in the most Holy place, not in your own strength, nor because of any good deeds done by you. You stand in the righteousness of Jesus alone, and in the power of what He has done for you on the Cross.

'In those days and at that time
I will make a righteous Branch sprout from David's line;
he will do what is just and right in the land.
In those days Judah will be saved
and Jerusalem will live in safety.
This is the name by which it will be called:
The LORD Our Righteousness.'
Jeremiah 33.15-16 (NIV)
