Behold the Lamb of God

Me: Good Morning Lord, Thank you for waking me this morning and for such a wonderful nights sleep. I love you Lord.

Jesus: Good morning Martin, thank you for joining us this morning.

Reading: from John 1.29- 34

Jesus the Lamb of God

The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, "Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world! This is the one I meant when I said, 'A man who comes after me has surpassed me because he was before me.' I myself did not know him, but the reason I came baptising with water was that he might be revealed to Israel."

Then John gave this testimony: "I saw the Spirit come down from heaven as a dove and remain on him. I would not have known him, except that the one who sent me to baptise with water told me, 'The man on whom you see the Spirit come down and remain is he who will baptise with the Holy Spirit.' I have seen and I testify that this is the Son of God."

Lord: Jesus is my Son from before the foundation of the universe. He has always been my Son and always will be my beloved. He went forward to John for baptism in obedience to my command. My Holy Spirit came upon him in bodily form as a clear indication to John and his faithful disciples, that it was time for John, the Herald, to decrease, and Jesus, the Son, to increase. John clearly witnessed to Jesus. "Here is the Lamb of God". It is now up to my Church to witness that "Jesus is the Lamb of God", and to point to him, as "the Way, the Truth and the Life". There will be many who feel uncomfortable with this, but I didn't send Jesus to make people feel comfortable, but to shift them from their position of complacency and help them face up to the truth which makes them feel uncomfortable.

I want my Church, that is called by my Name, to stop burying its head in the sand and begin to witness to the truth. Trying to be PC will never do anything for the gospel. PC is an invention of Satan, that he uses to curb the truth, and promote the lie. I am truth and I will not be curbed!

Jesus: I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No one comes to God the Father except by Me. There is no other way and no other religious system of rite brings anyone to the Father. I am the only way. The truth about me is absolute, and the life I give is life in God the Father.

Praise & Worship

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

Lord: Good morning Martin. Welcome to the club, I love you too.

I want to talk to you about worship and praise today. I could have created you all so that you continuously offered praise and worship to me. Indeed I still could make you praise me so you had no choice in the matter.But to do so I would have to remove a precious element of your humanity which I value far more than you do, your free will. Many great scholars and very learned people in the eyes of men, have argued that humans would be better off without free will, because all they ever do with it is abuse it. I, however, do not regret giving mankind the ability to choose. It is worth all the pain and suffering I have suffered, to have one person turn around and return to me of their own choosing, to consciously turn their back on sin, and the evil that tries so hard to destroy mankind. At the moment you have no idea of the joy in heaven, over one sinner that repent and turns back to me The energy in the great shout of praise that goes up, over one soul, would power all the energy needs of mankind for a lifetime.

I spoke to you last year about the power of love. True worship and praise of my name is powered by love, and as my people enter into praise and worship, the love increases. As my people worship me, the division between heaven and earth thins and sometimes disappears, because all praise and worship is a part of the praise and worship being offered freely, in love, before my throne day and night.

Praise is the great leveller. It raises up the lowly and and mighty together, and mortal man and angelic being stand side by side before the throne of grace. Man's ability to praise is not dependant on head knowledge or wisdom, lest any should be excluded; it comes from the heart and is powered by love. There is no limit to the amount of praise you can give to me, for there is absolutely no limit whatsoever to the love that drives it. In fact, the love increases the more you love. That may sound like a circular argument but it is true as you practice the art of love, your love grows and so does all the love around you. As you enter into worship and praise, your worship grows to fill the ever increasing space created by the growing love.

There are many ways to express your worship and praise, and I love all your expressions of love and worship that come from the heart. The beauty of your worship does not lie in its professionalism or skill, but in its freedom of flowing from the heart in love. Worship is like a river. It starts from a spring and turns into a stream. It grows into a river and becomes a flood. There is no fear in true worship, no holding back, no embarrassment, just sheer ecstasy, joy and love. Satan's hosts tremble when God's people praise Him and when worship and Love abound, for he can do no work at all when people praise God. That is why he stirs up anxiety about 'happy clappy'. I hate that derogatory use of a beautiful expression. I get excited when my people are happy in my presence, and I love to hear their clapping and to see their raised hands. I created beat. I created dance. I am movement. I was the first to laugh. I take delight in you, and I want you to take delight in me. I long to hear my peoples' shout. Yes I long to hear a mighty shout of praise, that will shake the foundations of your nation. Not a shout of protest, but a shout of praise and worship. Shout the name of Jesus with one voice that all the nation may hear it and be glad.

Praise me and offer your worship my people, every day, and I will show you what mighty things I can do in your worship of me. Jesus is the Name. Call on his Name, ask in his Name. For it is through the name of Jesus that you are saved.

Do the Will of My Father

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

Lord: I Love you too son, and welcome to the club.

Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. Matthew 7:21

This may sound like a harsh word, but it is not a rebuke, rather it is a warning about shallowness, and a half hearted response to me. My son Jesus said this, while talking about how to recognise those who come from me and are filled with the Holy Spirit, and discerning those who are false prophets amongst you. By the fruit that is born out in their lives you will recognise them.

To my prayer warriors I want to say:

Pray for those I am raising up. The evangelists, the prophets and teachers, the pastors and the missionaries. Pray that they will stay close to Jesus, and clearly focused on him. Many of them are young, and as yet untried, and the enemy seeks to divert them with advice from false prophets. Pray my protection around them. And, as I have said before, cover their backs for them, by your faithful and vigilant prayer. Some of you I will call to the front line of battle, against the false prophecies and teachings of those who hearts are not stayed on me, and who, as yet, know not the Lord Jesus, or my will. These are often, not obviously the enemy. Some are leaders in churches, and men and women of learning, who are held in high esteem by the world. Do not pray for their downfall, but for the light I bring, to flood their lives. Pray for their conversion, that they will both hear, and do, My will. Most of them think they are doing my will, but they have shifted their focus from Jesus to theology. Pray my living Word into their darkness.

There are also amongst them wolves, who come as sheep. Pray for discernment to see and recognise them. The enemy is the prince of lies and deceit. Destroy his works by praying in the truth. Even the wolf amongst you is powerless, if his teeth are drawn, and his true nature is revealed!

To My Church I want to say:

In these days I am doing a new work. Just as I led the infant Church of the New Testament out of Jerusalem and into the World, so I want to move you now, out of the security you have known for so long, out of the safety of ritual and liturgy, which have been your kindergarten teaching, out into the adult world, to take Jesus to the people where they are, and talk to people without cloaking your words in religious terminology. When the early Church left Jerusalem and dispersed throughout the world, and when the Celtic missionaries moved out from their homes, to live in foreign lands, they first had to learn the language of the people among whom they lived. They learned their ways and traditions and tried to understand them. Then, and only then, could the Good News of Jesus be communicated in a meaningful way.

Today it is very easy to communicate across the world in an instant with the internet. Yes, I am inspiring men and women to use every possible form of social networking and technology. However, that is only the beginning; the real conversion and growth comes through personal contact. Even Paul, who had a personal encounter with Jesus on the road to Damascus, needed to have the contact, love and support of the Christian fellowship, to bring him sight, and to set him off on the right foot.

To those who are feeling my call upon them, I want to say:

Keep your eyes firmly fixed on my Son Jesus. Build up your relationship with Him. Do not be afraid to commit all your ways to Him, and seek His advice. Remember to do what he says, and follow His direction, before your own. Follow Jesus and do His will and your ways will prosper, then I will use you, for the furthering of my kingdom on earth.

Jesus is the Word of God made flesh. The Bible is also the Word of God for it points to Jesus. Make that written word part of your everyday life. Consume it, chew it, and digest it until it is part of every fibre of your being. Do not be secretive about it, or shy of reading and quoting it, for when the Word becomes a part of you, it is like a razor sharp blade, that can be used to cut through the defences of the most ardent atheist or skeptic. Do not be ashamed of Jesus before men, and he will never let you be put to shame. Let you light shine before men, that they may see the good fruit you bear, and give glory to me, your heavenly Father.

To those whose faith is weak and who feel the burden of life, I want to say:

Rise up, lift your eyes to the heavens and behold the face of Jesus. Look into His eyes and see His love for you, and draw strength. Come to the waters of Life, the Word of God, and drink deeply. Dare to come the the Cross of Calvary, and see in Jesus' feet the cruel nails and the dripping blood. Kiss those feet, that trod the earth to bring you your salvation. Let his shed blood wash away your sin. Lay your burden at the foot of the Cross, and leave it there. It is no longer yours, but His. Die with him on the Cross, and live with him in his risen life. I will show you how, if you will give me time each day. Time for me to speak into the silence of your inner being. Do not ask for anything, except that Jesus fill you with his love. See in your inner eye the door of your heart, and open it to me. Then we will come to you, and make our home with you. Your faith will no longer be weak, but strong, and your burden will be left at the Cross. Be free! Come into the throne room of heaven, and join with the countless multitude, who are for ever singing and dancing in praise and worship, for I will give you life!

Eyes and Ears of the Spirit

Thursday, 18 February
05:28:33

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

Lord: Good Morning son. ... ...

This one is for my Church. Share it.

Yesterday I talked to you about trust, this morning I want to talk about using your gifts especially the gift of sight and hearing. Yes, both are gifts I have given you! you have two sorts of sight and hearing. You can see and hear the world around you with your eyes and ears, and both those organs have multiple uses. The ear can listen out for an unseen danger or can listen with delight at beautiful sounds and music. The eye beholds beauty and can be used to search out and find. It can detect the merest flicker or movement and thus warn of danger. Both can be used for communication and understanding. But in order to benefit from having eyes and ears you must practice and use them. So from a very early age children learn to look and see, to listen and to hear.

When I made man in the very beginning, I made him body, mind and spirit. His eye and ear organs relate to his body and mind, enabling him to live in, and relate to, the world around him. I also equipped him with an inner eye and inner ears. These relate to the spiritual world of which he is also a part. Just as it is important for a man to use his eyes and ears to get around in the world and to communicate with his fellow travellers, so it is important that man learns to use his spiritual eyes and ears to see and hear what is going on in the heavenly places. When I communicate with man through visions and prophecy, I don't use the physical eyes and ears; I use his spiritual eyes and ears. Many people I speak to, and show visions to, do not fully understand what they are seeing and hearing, because they are unaware of this other facility I have built in to them. That is why I find these times in the early hours with you so fruitful. You are wide awake but are not distracted by sounds and sight so you can concentrate on the inner eye and the inner ear. I long for all my children, both young and old, to listen with their inner ear and hear me speaking to them, and to look with their inner vision and describe what they see. For I long for my Church worldwide, to become a visionary, prophetic church that can speak My Word, and share My vision with a world, that has been fooled by the evil one into shutting me out. For too long now the churches have been the blind and deaf, leading the blind and the deaf! I long for My body on earth to be good listeners and visionary.

As you have discovered over the past year, my voice is plain to hear, and with your inner eye, you can see truths hitherto kept from you. You are learning to look and to see, to listen and to hear. I have shown you how, and explained ways to exercise these gifts, Now share it with others, so they too, may look and see, listen and hear, and so come to know the voice of God.

Keep Jesus, My living word, at the centre, focus on Him and allow him to speak to you. Hear Him as he cries out to all people, "He who has ears to hear, let him hear. He who has eyes to see let him see." Listen with open ears and eyes to the word of my prophet Isaiah chapter 42 verses 14 - 17:

For a long time I have kept silent, I have been quiet and held myself back. But now, like a woman in childbirth, I cry out, I gasp and pant. I will lay waste the mountains and hills and dry up all their vegetation; I will turn rivers into islands and dry up the pools. I will lead the blind by ways they have not known, along unfamiliar paths I will guide them; I will turn the darkness into light before them and make the rough places smooth. These are the things I will do; I will not forsake them. But those who trust in idols, who say to images, 'You are our gods,' will be turned back in utter shame.

Open your eyes to me, and your ears to hear. Trust me, and I will lead you down paths unfamiliar to you, and I will turn the darkness into light before you. Through the rough places, I will make a smooth path for you to walk, and I will guide you, because you trust in me.

I formed you out of the clay of the earth, and it will be I, who redeem you, and call you by your name. I will call you and say "You are mine, and I love you."

Trust and Love

2010
Wednesday, 17 February
04:54:18

Lord: The most important lesson for any Christian to learn, is to trust God. This trust may manifest itself in different ways. It first appears in a trusting in the saving power of the Lord Jesus. Head knowledge isn't enough, and will not save. Being told something, and having head knowledge, requires a response from you. That response is, to step out in faith, and dare to believe that Jesus died for your sin. To discover that we love you, and have provided in Jesus' death, a pathway back to God.

Because all men and women are carrying a lot of baggage around with them, trust requires a shift in values. Many things, that were once important to you, move further back in the list of priorities, and things you didn't even know you cared about, come to the front. Once again trust 'kicks in'. Many find it hard to believe that I, the Lord almighty, who created the universe, with all its wonders, could possibly be interested in little you, with all your petty worries! Well, I do care, and I love it when my children trust me with their worries, and the things that niggle them. When you trust me with these things, I can fix them for you. Let me deal with the little things of life, and acknowledge me in their solution, and you will also see the great things I do for you. The simple testimony to the little things I do, points to me as a God who cares and loves His people. Everyone accepts the little things I do, even unbelievers. They may well say "I accept your testimony, but I would put another explanation on to it." That is fine. Keep telling them what I am doing. Eventually, like a dripping tap, I will get through to them, trust me.

In any sort of personal relationship, trust comes first, followed close behind by respect. Out of these two, a good and healthy relationship flourishes. It is important to nurture and nourish trust, and to discern those you can trust and those you can't. Satan has caused your society today, to mistrust everyone and everything. Even governments and churches have swallowed his lie. Without trust, there can be no love, and that is Satan's aim, to make a loveless society. Oh, he makes it all sound very logical, with terms like 'National Security' and 'safety on the streets and in the homes'. However, the whole point of a society, is that people band together in mutual trust, to make a safe and pleasant environment to live. A society that seeks to control the individual by laws, rules, and force, has lost the whole point of society. A marriage based on anything else but trust and mutual respect is doomed to failure. For it is out of trust and respect, love is born; it doesn't always begin with love. In the great scheme of things love is the beginning because I am love. But in a loveless world, amongst those who have never received love, love has to be learnt and will arise out of trust and respect.

For my work to continue, and for revival to come, my kingdom must be seen on earth. In my kingdom, all my people trust and love me, but they also trust and love each other. My heart yearns for Christians to love each other. In order to do this, you need to trust and respect each other, and to recognise and trust, the gifts I have given to each individual as I choose. My Holy Spirit knows best, what gifts are most needed at a specific place and time, and will supply them. All my Church needs to do, is to recognise the gift in others, and embrace it. That is trust.

Part of the established churches' problem with low levels of giving, is due to lack of trust between the giver and the receiver, trust, that the money or gift they give, will be used for the kingdom of God. When the need is apparent, as in the Haiti earthquake appeal, and assurances are given that the right help would go to the right people, great generosity is shown. Here in Cornwall the Cornish have a great respect and trust for the work of Shelter Box. That trust relationship with Shelter Box, has turned into a love for what they are doing, that is how so much can be given to help Haiti!

I want members of my Church to trust each other, and for that trust to turn to love. I want my Church to trust me, and for that trust to turn to love. Trust and love one another as I trust and love you. Then my kingdom will be seen on earth, and revival will come.

Waiting on God

Friday, 12 February
05:00:34

Me: Good Morning Father. Good Morning Jesus. Good Morning Holy Spirit. Thank you for inviting me to join you this morning and for waking me. I do love you, help me to love your more.

Trinity: Good morning Martin, thank you for responding to the invitation and for your praise and worship. We love you.

Lord: I want to speak to my people this morning about commitment and obedience to me. This is a sensitive subject for many of my own people still value, and think they own, the right to 'do their own thing". In the 21st chapter of the Gospel of John, we have an example of men doing their own thing, and it coming to nothing. Then, when they obey a simple command from Jesus, they succeed.

John 21.1-6

Jesus and the Miraculous Catch of Fish

Afterwards Jesus appeared again to his disciples, by the Sea of Tiberias. It happened this way: Simon Peter, Thomas (called Didymus), Nathanael from Cana in Galilee, the sons of Zebedee, and two other disciples were together. I'm going out to fish, Simon Peter told them, and they said, We'll go with you. So they went out and got into the boat, but that night they caught nothing.

Early in the morning, Jesus stood on the shore, but the disciples did not realise that it was Jesus.

He called out to them, Friends, haven't you any fish?

No, they answered.

He said, Throw your net on the right side of the boat and you will find some. When they did, they were unable to haul the net in because of the large number of fish.

Jesus: These were men who had spent three years very close to Me They knew My ways and had already begun to learn that they needed Me. They had just begun to grasp the truth that, they could do nothing in their own strength. But they had taken a real bashing over the previous week. Watching Me die on the Cross, had nearly blown their minds. Dear Peter, especially, had felt the loss, and was feeling very bruised. There was a lot of self recrimination in his heart. He blamed himself and he hated himself for appearing, in his own eyes, to be a coward. He was not a coward at all; he was a man trying to live in his own strength. However he learned this basic lesson 'Apart from me, you can do nothing' (John 15.5).

Lord: Yes, If you want to be doing My will, you have to rely on Me, for the wherewithal to do it. First of all you need the command from Me to go! Peter always found waiting hard. Waiting on Me is a vital part of doing My will. Like so many, who are men of action, Peter felt he needed some occupation to satisfy his restlessness. When he decided to go fishing, all the other disciples with him, who all felt the same frustration, followed his lead. I laugh, when I think how easy it was for me to cause the fish to avoid his net! This of course added to Peter's frustration, and his zeal to beat the sea increased! Being a very experienced fisherman, he knew it was the perfect night for fishing. Yet, the more he tried the more frustrated he got. The conditions were perfect. The season was right. He did have all the right gear, and the expertise. The only thing he lacked was success!

Jesus: Then I chose to appear to them. I was actually there all the time, even before they launched, but their restlessness hid me from their eyes. One thing their hard labour had done for them, was to exhaust the restlessness from them. They were all ready for their beds as they neared the shore. I was actually laughing when I called out to them, "Have you caught anything". Peter was cross, until I gave him a command. Self had been reduced to nothing, and he was more open at that moment, than he had been an hour previously. He couldn't see what I saw. As he cast the net for the last time, I could see Spirit doing, what looked like a dance, as he herded the fish into the net. He was obviously enjoying the task!

Lord: It was John who first recognised what was happening, and that it was Jesus on the shore. But it was Peter who had to run to Jesus, for it was Peter who had found it so hard to wait, and needed so much to hold on to Jesus.

Jesus: So many of you, my dear children, are struggling in your own strength to do what you think is my will, and it often is my will. But you are trying to do it on your own, without allowing me to show you how.

Peter, Andrew, James and John, all knew about fishing, and didn't need me to show them their job. What they didn't know, was what I had in mind for their skills. The Holy Spirit has distributed many amazing gifts among my people. Gifts which, in the right hands and in the right circumstances, are powerful tools for the kingdom. The Father has the overall plan in his mind. He knows where his people are, and the gifts they have. He knows where the need is, and how best to deal with it. What we want, is for all those, graced with the gifts of the Holy Spirit, to wait on us, for guidance and instruction in how to use the gifts, and when to use them. When Peter acted on my command, the net caught the maximum number of fishes, and it did not break!

Lord: In the coming times of revival, I want my church to be watching and waiting in my presence. I have Angels constantly waiting around my throne, ready to respond immediately to my command. I want my Church to be thus ready. By waiting and watching in my presence, you will find fulfilment and satisfaction. That fulfilment will be complete, as you respond to my command, and feel the real power of the Holy Spirit flowing through you, to accomplish My will.

Jesus: Waiting on the Father is one of the hardest lessons for man to learn, but once learnt, is the key to being where God wants you to be. Wait, watch and pray.

Rise up, O Men of God

05:17:40

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

Lord: Good morning Martin and welcome to the gathering. We love you too. Come and join us in worshipping.

A time of Worship and praise.

Lord: I want you, my people, to return to the law of the Lord, for you have become like the Pharisees of Jesus' day, clothing the law with rules and regulations, that you think excuse you from keeping the Law of the Lord (Mark 7). I am calling my people back to the Law, which my Son summarised for you"

Matthew 22:37-39 (NIV)

Jesus replied: " 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. 'This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbour as yourself.'

Loving the Lord your God is a matter of total commitment. No amount of 'good works' makes up for not giving God your very best. Is it too much to ask, that you spend time each day getting to know me, when I have done o much for you? I constantly hear my people say, "What has God ever done for me?" Do you really think that the earth made itself, or that the universe came about by chance? I tell you this, I hate your teaching that everything evolved over millions of years. It is a lie, devised by men, who want to create a tower they can climb, to reach to the heavens, and then claim they are gods. They are not gods, they are less than insects that will be trampled under foot. I, the Lord Almighty, created the heavens and the earth in a week. I have woven the 'blueprint', into the creation itself, so that man may know, that it is fearfully and wonderfully made. Everything I have made, I have placed my trademark on, but man chooses blindness, rather than the truth that is before his eyes.

When you, my people, begin to look with open eyes at your environment, and understand the delicate balance of all things, you will begin to understand just how much I have done for you, in creating a safe place for you to grow and prosper. When you begin to realise just how finely tuned everything is, you will catch a mere glimpse, of just how much I love you and care for you. You might then realise that, if I withdrew my hand from creation, even for the merest millisecond, the whole of creation would cease to exist. I never want to hear again, my people dare to say, "What has God ever done for me?".

I have given you my Word and my Law, which has been handed down faithfully from generation to generation. Clean off the crustaceans of the ages, and find the clear word from me, and hold to it. I am not interested in the ritual and laws of man, that have cloaked and hidden my word. Many of the interpretations and teachings of the past, have also kept my Word and my love away from the seeker.

Come to me in prayer. Offer me the sacrifice of your heart. Commit your way to me, and let me lead you into the truth, which will set you free.

The sort of commitment to me that I am looking for, is complete commitment! When a man came to me and said, "Let me first go and bury my father," (Luke 9.59), he was asking that, the time of commitment be deferred until later. That is unacceptable. I require your undivided commitment now! I am not standing over you with a whip, nor am I asking too much of you, but how can I speak to you, how can you get to know me, how can we have any sort of relationship, if you are always distracted, and flitting off, here and there? "Be still and know that I am God" (Psalm 46.10).

My children, do not delay in coming to me, for there is much we need to prepare for, and I want my church prepared, equipped and ready to move. I have so much to show you, things that will make your heart and soul leap for joy. I want you to experience what it means to know my Son, and for you to experience the joy of a Holy Spirit filled ministry. Already the gates of heaven are being stormed, as souls hunger for the living God. Do not be left behind, bogged down in 'works' and 'ritual'.

Rise up, O men of God!
Have done with lesser things.
Give heart and mind and soul and strength
To serve the King of kings.

Rise up, O men of God!
The kingdom tarries long.
Bring in the day of brotherhood
And end the night of wrong.

Rise up, O men of God!
The church for you doth wait,
Her strength unequal to her task;
Rise up and make her great!

Lift high the cross of Christ!
Tread where His feet have trod.
As brothers of the Son of Man,
Rise up, O men of God!

Ministry of All Believers

2010
Tuesday, 9 February
04:58:46

Lord: I want to talk to you about the ministry of all believers now. When I speak of ministers and ministries, I do not confine this to ordained ministry. I have called many people and am calling many more into ministry that the established churches and denominations have not recognised. I intended every member of my body to be a minister, just as every member of your body has a function. recognise and encourage these 'ministers', who are acting on My calling and are under My command.

In these days, I am sending my children out into the world, to take the good news to all communities everywhere. They are indeed, like lambs going among wolves, but the time has come for the wolves to be converted. So watch out, and listen, and you will hear many miraculous stories, of my protection of those I send out. You will also hear of gentle acts of boldness, by timid believers who are filled with the Holy Spirit. They become bold in the Spirit, to speak the Word I give them. Some people who you thought to be beyond salvation, will come to me and be saved, and there will be great rejoicing in my church. Let the truth of these conversions be recorded and shared, as an encouragement to other congregations. These are the Acts of the 21st Century Apostles.

A time for action is here. This is the age of movement and power. Say to those who find themselves in a ministry that doesn't fit them, "This isn't your own. Get on your knees in prayer and seek My will for you". Many of my ministers and leaders are trying in their own strength, to fit into a mould that is not for them. For too long the establishment has tried to create 'one size fits all' ministry. This will never work! Down all the ages of man, it has never worked, to try and control the prophet! My Holy Spirit is free, and moves where He will, and if my Spirit bestows a particular gift, it is because He knows that gift is the right one, for that person. You must recognise in those around you the gift My spirit has bestowed, and encourage that gift into ministry. There is no joy in struggling to be something you were never made to be. But there is great joy in seeing your ministry flourish, and souls come into the kingdom of Jesus. Indeed there is no greater joy, than to be involved in leading a loved one to the Lord. That joy is worth all the tears.

Those who stay in the inner place of intercession, are to cover my ministers with prayer, guard their coming in and going out. Remember also to cover their personal lives, and their families. Build a protective wall of prayer around them. You don't need to know the details, only that they are always vulnerable in that area of their lives.

To those I call out into the front line, I say this: Go out with the strength of knowing Him in whom you have believed, Jesus the Son of God. That strength is made strong in Joy. Let a song of praise be on your lips, as you go with boldness and tread on the heads of snakes. I, Jesus have defeated Satan. He fell from heaven and great was His fall. I have all authority, both in heaven and on earth, and I give you the authority to destroy the works of the evil one, and to bring the fallen and the lost, home to me. You will never lose your way if you keep your eyes on me. Keep our vital lines of communication (prayer) open at all times. I shall be with you wherever you go.

When I am lifted up from the earth

Lord: Come up here son, for there are things that I want to show you. What do you see Martin?

Me: I see a lonely Cross, high on a hill. The sky is clear, and the sun is high. The birds are singing, and there is a buzz of insects. There is a feeling a little like being in a churchyard. but it is a hill in a wide open countryside, with a view for miles in all directions.

Lord: Look to the horizon Martin, and what do you see?

Me: I see a great multitude of people streaming from all directions to the Cross. People of every age, and nationality. The rich and the poor, the strong and the weak, all walking together. It seems as though the Cross itself is giving them strength to keep moving. There are lots of different expressions on their faces. Some look really joyful, while others look bewildered. Some even look reluctant, but are still moving forward. At first, I thought there was no sound coming from the multitude, for all I could hear was the sound of the birds and insects. Then, as I listened, I heard a murmur. For a time it remained just a murmur, although the crowd had come considerably nearer. The level of the noise was not related to the distance, or the number. Suddenly I heard a shout. It grew to a mighty crescendo in a matter of a few seconds. Again it came, and a third time. The shout was a resounding "Yes! Yes! Yes!" The crowd surged forward and as they reached the Cross, it was as though the Cross itself absorbed them. For what seemed like a long time the crowd came forward, and the ringing echo of their 'yes' could be heard. Then all was still and there were no more people coming. The fields were empty and even the birds and insects were silent. Then a cold wind began to blow and the green of the hillside turned brown, and nothing would grow in the barren dryness. Dust filled the air and the sound of the wind drove out all other sounds. It was very bleak and very inhospitable.

Lord: Jesus said "...When I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all men to myself." The Cross of Jesus stands high on a hillside where all can see it. Many find the Cross an offence, the whole idea of a crucified God abhorrent to them. Many are fascinated by the Cross, and like Moses at the burning bush, have turned aside to see it. Whatever the reason for coming, the Cross is like a magnet that few can resist. Huge numbers of people come to the Cross in silence, not wanting to draw attention to themselves and be ridiculed by their fascination or interest. They are often unaware that others too, some very close to themselves, are also moving towards me. The nearer you come to the Cross, the clearer you see Jesus. The clearer you see Jesus the clearer you see me! The three times cry "yes" is the cry I want to hear: "Yes Jesus, you are the Lord", "Yes Jesus, Forgive my sins," and "Yes Jesus, come into my heart." The acknowledgement of Jesus as Lord, and embracing all three, by asking Jesus into your heart, moves you forward with a rush, and you become one with the Cross. You are crucified with Christ. Galatians 2:20 "I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me."

When the full number have been saved, and I have gathered the church together, I shall take her to a place of safety. And the time of tribulation will begin. Those who are left behind will be given a short time to repent. Then shall the end begin, and the new age dawn.

Purify yourselves before God

Lord: "Say to my people":

I have seen all that is evil in the land and I know the wickedness of the thoughts of the heart, and I purpose to purge the land of wickedness, and turn the hearts of those who do evil to me. I have seen also the wickedness of many, who outwardly profess to know and serve me, but their hearts are black. I am about to avenge the disgrace caused by those who claim my name but do not know me. This cleansing work is needed now, as you move into revival times. I desire that there many be a clear distinction, between those who are mine and seek to do my will, those who call upon me day and night, and, those who use my name for their own ends, but who do not know me or call upon me for help.

Set yourselves apart. Come to me when I call you, and wait upon me. Listen to my voice, let my Word become a part of you. Confess your sin to me, and let the Blood of Jesus cleanse you from all your sin. Offer all your ways to me and let me lead you, for I am the Lord who goes before you. I am the shepherd who finds green pasture. It is I, the Lord your God, who watches over you. I provide for all your needs.

Pray for those who are abusing their positions of power, to rape the land with violence and oppression, under the guise of 'National Security'. Pray, that they will see that the only National Security you have, is found in me. You, who have placed your trust in banks and investments, know this: I did not bring the banking system to its knees, for any other reason than to call my people, to stop trusting in the institutes of men, with all their false values and rotten standards. I desire that my people will invest their trust in me. So commit your ways to the Lord your God, and let Him alone provide for you. Your times and your future are in the hands of God, and not in the hands of men.

Having set yourselves apart for me, turn your minds to prayer, and listen to me. I would speak to you, and reveal to you my will. Your good is foremost in my mind, and my desire is that you, and all men and women, may come into the full relationship with Jesus, that I have with Him. Yes, I desire a full relationship with you through Jesus. Do not be misled into believing that, because Jesus is my son, our close relationship is somehow barred to you. That is a lie of Satan. My heart is, for all my people to have a full and perfect relationship with me, through Jesus. And that is His desire too. That is why I call all men to confess your sin, to ask for forgiveness, and to leave your sins at the foot of the Cross, and then move forward with me!

Seek me out in the quiet place, under the fig tree, where we will not be disturbed. In the quiet, listen to what I say to you. Open the ears of your spirit to me. Open the eyes of your spirit to me. Open your mind to me, and let us establish a two-way connection. Listen to the thoughts I put into your mind. Gaze at the pictures I build up in your inner eye. Feel me as I touch you, and know me, as I love you.

This close relationship will not happen if you remain in the busy-ness and distraction of the world. So create in your day a space for me, preferably at the beginning of each day. Let me speak to you, so that you can carry my Words and my presence into your busy day. Commit all your busy-ness to me and let me still your soul, so that you work in my time frame, and not the false time frame of the enemy, who tries to convince you, that there is no time in your life for me. I am the Lord of time and space. I created time and I alone make your time enough for your needs! As I root out the wickedness around you, do not be found wanting. I love you my children. Come to me and find your rest in me.

Come and See - Come to Me

2010
Thursday, 4 February
04:56:13

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

Lord: Good morning son, welcome and I love you too.

Jesus: My people, you are now entering into "Come and See" times. Come with me, and I will show you all sorts of thing to do with the kingdom of my Father. Ever since the beginning of creation, God the Father has been inviting men and women to enter into a relationship with Him. He has always wanted to share His excitement and thrill, about the wonderful universe he had created. He always says, "Come and See, and I will show you" - "Lift up your eyes and see", or He asks the question, "What do you see?" In those times when Father and I were creating the world, the most common words between us were "Look! see what I have made." I was like any child, watching my Father and trying to do the things he was doing, and as I struggled he helped me. I had lots of ideas, and Father helped me make them reality.

In those early days in the garden we brought all the living creatures we had made to Adam saying, "Come and see what I have made, what shall we call it?" and he named every one. Down all the ages, the Father has kept mankind informed through direct contact, revelation and the prophets. Even those who did not know my Father received visions and dreams. When ever I give visions and dreams, I also give someone to reveal the meaning.

Lord: Yes, and even my plan for the salvation of mankind, was not done in secret. I told the prophets about it before Jesus came. I revealed to shepherds and to wise men the salvation I was planning, and said to them "Come, and see what I have done."

Jesus: Yes, and one day when John, was baptising, some of his followers started to follow after me. They asked me where I lived, and I told them, "Come and see." We had such a good time that day, as I revealed to them just a tiny glimpse of Fathers kingdom. It was enough though, to whet their appetites, and before evening came, they had gone out to their relatives and friends, and said to them, "Come and See".

Lord: The good news about Jesus is an 'open secret'. It has never been shrouded in mystery. It is simple so that the poor or simple-minded can understand, and it is profound in its simplicity, so as to satisfy the learned and wise of the world. The good news is never hidden from men and women. It is always accessible, though some come to it with a film of unbelief over their eyes. The enthusiastic calling of a believer, "Come and see", is the most powerful form of one-to-one evangelism you can use. Tell others your story and invite them to see for themselves. The responsibility of convincing others about Jesus is not yours, but mine. I only want you to tell the story and invite them.

Those of you I anoint to preach and to teach, have a responsibility to tell the truth and to expound the word as I lead you. But the work of conversion is a work of the Holy Spirit. You are to invite people to "Come and see".

Jesus: I was once with my disciples at Sychar in Samaria. The disciples had gone off to buy supplies, and I was sitting at the edge of the town by the well. It was about 3 in the afternoon, and there weren't many people around as it was too hot. A woman came to draw some water from the well and I asked her for a drink. We entered into an interesting conversation, and I helped her to see herself as she was, and as Father wanted her to be. As soon as the boys got back, she slipped off into the town, and started telling everyone she had had an encounter with me. She even recognised that I was the Messiah. The main thrust of her story was, "Come and see for yourselves". Soon the whole town was gathered around us, and pressing us to stay with them. They came to me because she said, "Come and see". After that it was up to me. At first they began to believe because of her story, but as they came to know me they believed because of their relationship with me.

Lord: I want you to tell the story and invite people to, "Come and see". Not all will respond, but those who take up your invitation will meet with me. Do not be discouraged by a few who don't listen or respond. Quietly pray for them, and leave them to me. Some need several invitations before coming. Do not dismiss them as beyond help. For I am prepared to go down into Hell itself, if I can bring even one back from the fire.

Jesus: Throughout history, in every age, the largest number of people come into the kingdom because they have been invited to "Come and see". That doesn't change; a personal invitation is worth more than a thousand posters.

My invitation to you all is, "Come and see. Let me show you how much I love you".

Me: Wow! thank you Lord, I love you.

Word and Action

2010
Wednesday, 3 February
04:52:18

Lord: ..... Now, to other things:

There are those in my church who I am calling out, into the unknown, to take the gospel to those outside of established 'church' and 'normal' worship. I want you whom I call, to clothe yourselves with the Gospel of Peace. Find brothers and sisters, who will pray for you daily, as you labour in the harvest field. Do not be distracted by the ignorant, who will wag their fingers and say, "Why do you work on your own? Come in and be under authority." I say to you, "You are to be under my authority, and you are to speak my words without let or hindrance. Keep fellowship, and stay backed by prayer, but I shall be your authority, not man."

To my prayer warriors I say this. I am sending you the people I have called out, to reach those outside the city wall. They are strong men and women, who seem to the world to be working on their own. They are not on their own, they work with me, and I guide them. I want you to cover them in prayer and protect their backs, especially as they turn their backs on the enemy, to carry the wounded back to my shelter. Your work in prayer is essential to the success of this vital work.

Me: As the Lord spoke to me, I saw with my inner eye, a Church building, and a great sound of praise and worship was coming from it. As I entered the building I saw what looked like a mighty electricity generator, running at full power, and the noise was very great. And the Lord said to me:

Lord: This is what I want my church to be, a mighty power generator. When my church PRAYS, the generator turns, and when my people turn to praise and prayer, the power they produce, increases. An electricity generator, producing power, is useless, unless the power is connected and directed, where it can be used. I do not want this power to be produced, only to store in some decaying battery. I want this power connected live, to those who are working in the mission field, to those on the streets, and in the places where the need is.

Some of my labourers are working far away from the established church, and are therefore, not seen or understood by the church. I therefore want you to establish for me, sub stations of power, connected to the main generator, but a step nearer to those working further away. Keep the power flowing from the church, to you, and from you to those I identify for you. I want every worker in the fields, to be covered and supported by prayer, and to have access to the power of those praying for them.

To church leaders and administrators, I would say this: Be careful what you build! You are moving into revival times. I am no longer interested in maintaining the 'status quo', but in moving the church into the front line of revival. The days of creating systems, and building buildings are passed. The days of wasting my resources on ancient ruins is over! I want my church to be reaching out to, and working in, the mission field, where the hungry people are. I did not build my church for itself; I built it to be a tool, to reach out and deliver the gospel, in both word and deed. Notice how the gifts of My Holy Spirit are for 'Word' and 'Action'. They were not given for the church to hold on to, but, to speak forth, and to act upon. They were given, to be given away!

The time has come, when I shall remove my blessing from those I have entrusted the Gospel, if they will not move out from their holy huddles, and share the Word with others. I had to make the early church very uncomfortable, to get them to move out of Jerusalem. I did it, in order that, you in the West, could receive the Word. Do I now have to make you feel uncomfortable, so that you will move out, and spread the good news? Move now, and you will find yourself working alongside others, who are not from your colour or flavour of Christianity, but allow your colours to blend and I will make a work of beauty and exquisite delight, to excite the taste buds! Do not get left behind.

My Church, the body of Jesus Christ on earth, needs have no fear for the future. If you allow Jesus His rightful place on the throne at the centre of your being, and remain faithful in prayer, praise and worship, then I will take you singing and dancing into the future. Be still in me, then be active in the world. I am with you.

Water in the Desert.

2010
Monday, 1 February
04:54:57

Me:    Good morning Lord, Thank you for waking me this morning and for a good night’s sleep. I Love you Lord, and I love these times in the morning with you. Please help me to be more alert and open to the things you are saying.

Lord:    Good morning Martin. I too love these times together, and have been excited about this morning. There is lots to do before you go, and I want to show you just how smoothly and wonderfully I can work.

What do you see, Martin?

Me:    I see a well in the desert, surrounded with lush growth. I see people drawing water, and laughing with joy. I see children playing and singing. I se a community that is well fed and content.

Lord:    The well is the water of Life. It is fed from my throne room, and runs through the streets of the Holy City. The vibrant life around, is there because those, who dwell there, drink freely of the waters. Children laugh and play because they are full of the confidence, I give to those who drink from me. What you see is a picture of my church as I intend it to be, a watering place, in the desert of an unbelieving world.

Look again Martin, What do you see?

Me:    I am looking out from the trees into the desert, and I see people who have drunk from the water, walking out into the blazing sun. Some are nearby and are still laughing and full of joy, and look back to the trees with joy. Others are further away from the trees, and are less full of joy. Anxiety is written on their faces as they look ever outwards, and away from the water. Still others have wandered far away and are weary and dehydrated, lacking the strength to return to drink. Beyond that I see no living thing, only desert and dry bones, all of them lying face down in the sand with their heads away from the water.

Lord:    You have seen right. What you see, are not the unsaved, but those who know about the water and have drunk from the water of Life, and have experienced the fellowship of believers. But, instead of staying in the comfortable shade of the trees, and drinking from the water whenever they are thirsty, they have wandered away from me, and have been attracted by the bright sunshine and the warmth of the sand. Some only play in the sand, and return to the shade and the water regularly. Others have been more bold in their own eyes, and have ventured out further, lured by the unknown, and seeking out life in this lifeless place. The fascination and belief, that they will find something special, is very strong, and they press on, forgetting that all their health and strength comes from the water of life, and the shelter of the trees of life. For some there is the opportunity to return, when they realise they are dying of thirst, and as they turn towards the water, there are others, who will carry water to them, and aid their return. But there are some who have gone too far, and the memory of the life-giving water has faded from them. They do not know which way to turn, so they press on outward, and don’t look back. Thy die where they fall, and the desert takes them. It is not my desire that they should die thus. I want all my creation to live and thrive. That is why I made it so. Yes, I have complete and absolute power, and could force their return, but I have given to all men and women, a precious gift, the ability to choose life or death, good or evil, the oasis or the desert. I long for my children to return to Me, and, though they may be little more than dry bones, I can give then life again. The choice is theirs.

Look again Martin, and what do you see?

Me:    I see a crowd of people on the horizon, far beyond the dry bones. I see camels and vehicles, moving in this direction. (My heart became anxious as I thought of an invading army coming to destroy us.) Then I was taken, in the spirit, to a place above the crowd, and I saw that they were not an army, but a huge multitude of sick, and hurting people, they were dressed in rags. Even their transport was spent. And they left behind a trail of broken junk. They all carried water bottles, but it was obvious some of the water was dirty or nearly spent. Most are dying. Who are they Lord?

Lord:    They are a great multitude of ordinary people, who have been brought up without any knowledge of me, or of my Son. They are the children of a disillusioned generation, who my church never reached out to, or who were prevented from coming to me. They are not evil. They have never known anything else but loneliness. They are the multitude which no man can number, who have my seed of life in them. Without knowing what it was, or who gave it to them, they have tried to nurture it and help it to grow. I put about amongst them a rumour, that there is a watering hole, in the desert of their life, where they could drink, and be forever satisfied. These are those who have filled every container they have, with the water of hope, and have pressed forward together, seeking the water of life. Travelling in a large group, they have helped each other by sharing the water of hope. Without their realising it, I have increased their hope, and they have pressed on.

What more do you see?

Me:    I see a great crowd running out from the water and the trees. They carry with them containers of water, and they are running with supernatural strength, past the ring of dry bones, towards the approaching crowd. I see them meet, embrace, and share the water they have brought. I see the years falling off the pilgrims, and their youth returning, as they drink from the water of life! I see a great surge of people from both groups running to the water. I see the children and the sick being carried, and I hear a great shout of joy.

Lord:  Look again and what do you see?

Me:    I see, from above, the water of life and the trees around it. It has grown from an oasis in the desert, to a country large enough to accommodate the multitude now entering it. I see a great feast of welcome being prepared. I see butterflies and colourful flowers. I hear the sound of birds singing, as the children laugh and skip.

I see the King, standing in the centre of the water in a white robe. His brightness shines even brighter than the desert sun. The sound of his voice reaches all the corners of the world, and all hear him. Even the deaf hear.

Lord:    You see well. Now tell the church this. The time has come, the moment has arrived, for my people to rise up, and carry the water of life, that I have given you in great abundance, and refresh those who are struggling in hope. Revive the weary and expand my Kingdom. Leave all your practices and rituals, which so often bar the doors to your gatherings, and prevent those outside from coming in. Run now, in the freedom of my Spirit. Tell out your message. Tell of the greatness of your God. Tell the people in words, songs, laughter and dance. Lead them to Jesus, who is the Way, the Truth and the Life. The gates of heaven stand open wide. Come my people, come! Now is the time to praise him. Now is the time of harvest.
