Water on Dry Ground

Me: Good morning Lord. Thank you for waking me this morning, and for this new and beautiful day. Lord please help me today to stay close to you, and to be open to you for inspiration, to continue to write my book.

Lord: Good morning son. Welcome to the club this morning and thank you for joining us. I want you to look again at the glimpse I gave you as you prayed this morning. What did you see?

Vision: Lord, I saw a wilderness, an area of barren land. Barren that is, by virtue of the fact that nothing seemed to be growing there. It was well-trodden land, where rain, when it falls' would gather in large puddles. It had an air of neglect. Though the vision I saw was only of the one plot, it had the feeling that it went on and on for hundreds of miles, with little, if anything, growing. I was praying, Lord, as I saw it, and as I continued praying, I saw beautiful wild flowers springing up out of the ground! Strong, healthy plants with many beautiful colours and species. It was like magic, for in the instant I saw and perceived the barren waste and took it in, I saw the mature flowers appear out of nothing!

Lord: The barren waste is the world of men. It is barren because they have turned away from Me, and are bent on pursuing the way of life that leads to death and destruction. Every year I send the water of My love on the world, like rain on the desert, and every year I look for growth, but all I see is My abundance standing around like great puddles of water, unused and unvalued. Then I heard your prayer, faltering and slow, but I knew it came from your heart, and that you want to be close to Me. Martin, I was able to use the prayer you uttered, almost without knowing what you were uttering, and use it to allow the water of My Spirit, to reach the seeds that were lying dormant under the wilderness. Under such barren conditions, it only takes a drop of water, and a few hours, to bring the desert places alive with colour and life.

In these days, I have allowed a great barrenness to encroach in the world, as the hearts of men grow cold to Me, and complacent about the creation I have given them. As they have seen and exploited the earth, raping it of its wealth and beauty, they have ignored Me. They believed in their hearts, that it was through the strength of their arms, the cleverness of their minds, that they have accumulated great wealth. They have become blind to those around them, as their lust for power, and greed for material things, has become like a consuming fire. This lust and greed is now no longer a personal problem of a few; it has consumed whole nations and continents. Man believes he can continue to accumulate goods, and build wealth, and that healthy economies are those which always expand.

However, in ignoring Me, they have lost the plot completely, and have failed to recognise that all men are part of the great family of mankind. They have become blind to the man next door and the starving, naked children they exploit, in their pursuit of the "almighty pound or dollar". Man has even stooped so low as to neglect his own children, parents and family, in the pursuit of self satisfaction!

Even now, I am stripping away the golden plating of life, and causing a mildew to settle on the fine clothes and materials that are seen by so many as essentials. Structures and institutions are crumbling, and many things that were considered as immovable and eternal, are being shifted by the tide and flood I am sending. I am not sending, and allowing this to happen, in order to destroy mankind. On the contrary, I am sending and allowing it, in order to destroy the false values that are in themselves destroying man.

Before the present crisis in society became apparent to man, I began to raise up my true Church. I started with the established Churches and recognised Christian fellowships. I called and I moved, I beckoned and I manoeuvred, and many people, and sometimes whole fellowships, have responded. Sadly, and I mean that from the bottom of My heart of love, sadly many have remained intransigent. They have resisted Me, and refused My Spirit access. Some of the churches that were called by my name have been infiltrated by, and taken over by, those who do not know Me, and are opposed to My rule. From them I am calling My people out! Through the prayers of My faithful people, I am about to make the wilderness bloom again. This new blooming will not be based upon the foundations of the past, which are the cause of human poverty and pain, but upon the foundations I have laid down, since the foundation of the Earth. The economy of the new blooming will not be based upon the present, failed currencies, of the world today, but will be firmly founded in love for one another, tenderness and generosity.

I am going to cause the wilderness to bloom again, not with fields of one crop next to another field of a different crop, but of one great area of beautiful, exotic and varied wild blooms. Just as the meadows abound with wild flowers, so I want My Church to spread over all the world, not as Catholic, Protestant or Charismatic, but as My people moved by My Holy Spirit, fulfilled and grown to the full stature and beauty I intend for everyone.

Pray that all my people everywhere will wake up and blossom, like the flowers in the wilderness after the rain. I will pour water of those who are thirsty. I will pour rain on the dry ground. I will give life, to those who were thought to be dead. I will be glorified in all My Creation. I love you.

Suffering - Sin

Me: Good morning Lord. Thank you for waking me this morning and for this new day. Thank you that this is a day you have made specially for us to enjoy. Help us to stay in the centre of you will, that in all we do we may please you. I love you Lord.

Lord: Good morning Martin. Thank you for joining, and walking with us, this morning. We love you too.

 Today I want to talk to you more about my love. There are many who choose not to believe in me, because they say they cannot reconcile a God of love with the suffering they see around them. Oh, how Satan has blinded their eyes! It is because I love mankind so much, that the full effect of man's sin hasn't destroyed him already! Suffering is the direct result of sin. When mankind chose, using the free will I gave him out of love, to disobey the only command I gave him in the garden, he opened the way for sin and suffering to take over. It was a simple case of cause and effect. By disobeying my command not to eat the fruit of that tree, and that tree alone, man chose to take the consequences of his action.

At that time in his immaturity, he was not ready to deal with, and use, the flood of knowledge, that came upon him as a direct result of his action. When your children are young you do not allow them to play with certain tools or pieces of equipment, as they could be dangerous to life or health. As they grow and mature, these things can be introduced to them and they can be taught to use them properly and safely. The fruit of that tree was forbidden to them for that reason. I did not intended to forbid it to them forever! If I had intended that, I would not have placed the tree there in the first place!

There are lots of things I have placed in the world for the use of mankind. Plants and berries, rocks and trees, crystals and gems. Some of them are give to make the earth beautiful, because in my love for man, I want this special environment I have made for him, to be beautiful and pleasant to live in. Man has, in his immaturity, placed the wrong value on many, things and has misused the gifts I have given him, finding uses for them that I never intended.

Many plants, nuts and berries are attractive and appealing, but are poisonous if eaten. That is because I did not create them for man to eat. Some have medicinal properties, or contain natural chemicals that can be used as antidotes or for healing ointments. Certain metals and gems have been given great value and are used as currency, to be hoarded and owned by a few, when their real purpose has yet to be discovered, and in some cases never will be now, because it is too valuable to be wasted on scientific research. The misuse of these materials and plants that I have generously provided has given rise to greed, which in turn has led to wars, and both greed and war lead to suffering.

Suffering also arises from ignorance, because in his arrogance man does not seek me for the answers to sickness, injury or need. Daily you can see the results of mankind not listening to me. Daily, men and women make pronouncements about things they know nothing about, and in many cases their 'authoritative' statements cause others to suffer.

Many work in areas they have no feeling for, or love of. Lawyers, who do not care for right and justice, but are lining their own pockets. Bankers, who have no interest in the needs of their customers and investors, only in their profit and bonuses. Politicians, who have no care at all for their constituents, but seek their own glory. In every walk of life people suffer in jobs they hate and are ill suited to do. They suffer because they are trapped by the greed of others. These things are not of my making; they are the results of sin and greed.

My love for mankind is so great, that I have not totally destroyed him many times! My love is so great that I put in place, for man to use, everything that he needs, to be fully provided for and for the earth itself to be self sustaining. It is man, in his immaturity, that has abused and misused all I have provided for him. But he doesn't need to do this. If only he would stop turning his back on me and just acknowledge the miracle of creation and the wonderful provision I have made for him. If only he would stop from his busy-ness, trying to get rich, and begin to explore the riches I have provided for the good of all mankind.

I call on my people everywhere, to stop seeking after mammon and seek first the kingdom of your God. Seek the righteousness that I desire of you. Instead of looking inward, open your eyes to those around you. Instead of opening your mouths in slander and curses, bless those around you and wish them well. Tell them of me and of my love. Pursue all that makes for peace and goodwill. Then, and only then, all the riches that most men seek, will be added to you. I am the Lord who created you and loves you.

Seek First the Kingdom of Heaven

Me: Good morning Lord. Thank you for waking me this morning and for this new and beautiful morning. Thank you for the warm sun on my back, the birds chirping and the rabbits playing. Everything you have made, you have made well. I love you Lord.

Lord: Good morning son thank you for walking with us this morning. we love your company and we love you too.

You know son, it gives me great joy when you notice the things I have made and wonder at them. I placed in all men and women the ability to appreciate the wonders of creation, and an enquiring mind to want to explore them. Satan has been very busy over the last few thousand years, distracting man by promises of wealth and the 'happiness' it can bring. But I want to tell you all that the pursuit of material things, especially money, is the main cause of heartbreak and sickness. Greed itself is a sickness, and obsessiveness about gaining wealth is a recognisable and detectable illness.

All the nations of the world have been deceived and are locked into a mindset that makes them think the economy is the most important thing there is. Making the books balance is the be-all and end-all of life. That is why I have upset the balance of power by toppling financial empires, and there are many more that will crumble! Do not be alarmed when so-called 'household names' crash. Even when your own financial security seems uncertain, do not worry. Seek first the kingdom of God! Open your eyes to the spiritual realm where I dwell and let me show you the beautiful plan I have for you. Look at my creation and wonder. Wonder at the extravagance, at the complexity, at the economy and at the beauty. Let me teach you about me, and about my way.

The reason why I gave you a garden was to show you how, from so little I can provide so much. I am the Lord your provider. Seek me first, and find me in all the things I have so wonderfully made, and as you observe and learn, grow in love and trust, that I may show you a better way of life, a life of wonder, praise, love and trust in me. The world's ways will always let you down. There hasn't been a civilisation rise, that hasn't fallen, and no earthy kingdom or empire has ever lasted for ever, nor ever will. However my kingdom is established upon a rock that cannot be moved. Its economy is perfectly adjusted and its laws are just. All who come into my kingdom, come because I love them and as they discover that love, they love me back. Anyone who comes to me I will receive, for those who seek me, find me, and to those who knock, the door will be opened.

Watch how each year the flowers open and the trees bloom. Observe how each morning the sun rises and the world comes alive again. Look at the colours I create and the voices I give to all living things. Be glad that I have given you life, love, joy and the ability to offer your praise to me. For as you praise me and express your love, so more life springs into being.

You can never fully plumb the depths of creation, nor understand all the things I have made, but you can try, and I will help those who ask me, to make great discoveries. But you can't do both. If you follow the way of the world you will be following one dead end after another. If you seek me and follow the way that I shall lead you you will discover a stairway of wonder that will satisfy your soul and lead you further up and onward to the most fantastic view man can ever see. I want you to discover life with me. So seek first my kingdom. draw close to me, and let me lead you on and add all things to you. You are my child and I love you.
