Effective Prayer

Lord: Prayer is a very powerful tool for the Christian to wield. I want you to encourage all My children to enter more whole heartedly into prayer!
 

Prayer is not about instructing Me, or informing Me about needs and situations. I know everything and I know all mankind and all his needs, long before he knows about them himself or even dares to ask Me.

Much of what is taught about prayer and methods of prayer is elementary, and geared to get children into a habit of prayer. But it is also largely detached from the relationship with Me aspect. Children and adults alike are taught to pray in a detached way. Many grow up believing that the once-a-month, or at best once-a-week, diet of community prayer 'in church' is all that is required. Sadly, a very high percentage of such prayer is unbelieving and half-hearted, and thus virtually ineffective. I won't even say it's better than nothing, because it is so luke-warm that I find it distasteful and would spew it out of my mouth. Oh I don't reject it all, for even in the greyest area of prayer, there are pure thoughts, pure hopes, and heart-felt desires, but this is not the sort of prayer that is going to change the world, or bring in the Kingdom! To do that you need dynamic prayer!

Q.    So, what is dynamic prayer?

A.    Well son, dynamic prayer begins with a love relationship with Me! In order to make the sort of dramatic changes in the world, you have to talk to the Creator who designed and made everything. The reason for this, is that the changes needed to bring My kingdom in, require the undoing of centuries of wrong teaching , deceit, and mis-direction. The human heart has been corrupted and beguiled by the Evil One, and needs healing and repairing. This is a job that can only be carried out by Me. It is a job for love!

Take an example: In human society, if an individual wants to change society, he has to work his way into the political system, and come under the eye of those who wield power. Becoming a friend and colleague of the Prime Minister, means that you are able to talk to him about the things that are dear to your 'political' heart. Learning about the process of decision-making, and catching the wider picture, helps you to see what changes are required, and are best for society. This takes a lot of effort and cannot be effective if you are uncommitted or half-hearted.

If that is true in a human political arena, it is also true for the Christian. To change the world and bring in the Kingdom, you need to get to know the Creator of all things, as a friend!

Did you realise that it is easier to get to know Me than it is to get to know the Prime Minister? Well, it is! The big difference is, that I want to be known, and I want to be your close friend, more than the Prime Minister does. And even better, I am available to you 24-7!

However, as in the human political arena, to understand the situation and catch the wider picture, a great deal of effort is needed. You need to spend time in conversation with me,  listening and asking questions. Our prayer relationship must move on from, 'Dear God, please bless Mummy and Daddy..... ," to a more adult conversation, in which we engage each other in deep conversation, about the necessary big issues that need to be dealt with. As I have told you before, I do not withhold anything My children need, and as a father is pleased when his children seek his help and understanding, so I am pleased when you engage with Me and I can teach you!

This sort of intercourse requires a commitment of time and attention and cannot be achieved by a once a month or once a week brief encounter. It requires regular practical workshop sessions and classroom work. Oh I'm not talking about a college course or a university degree, I am talking about time spent with me. watching me at work, learning how to, and when to, use the tools and gifts I want to give you.

This is why I have, over the last few years, built up our relationship from one of comparative strangers to close friends, from a short daily quiet-time, to a much longer period of deep conversation, Bible reading, wider reading and study, through to journaling. This is your training for the next stage, which is the real field-work of bringing in the Kingdom.

Field work is not sending you out on your own. Field work is going out into the mission field with Me, and doing the things I direct you to do. It is far more effective and much safer that trying to do it on your own. Son, I never send any of my servants out on their own. I am always with you. Even when Michael or Gabriel go out from the throne room on an errand for Me, they do not go alone. I am with them as I am with you.

Real, effective prayer is pro-active, fully engaged and fully involved, full-time communication with your very best friend, Me. I want our relationship to be deeper than a friendship, for I love you and I want you to love Me.

The Brotherhood of Man

Lord: Do not make judgements about other people, that could in your mind place them outside the Kingdom of Heaven! There are far too many prejudices, that exclude men and women from being accepted into the body of Christ, from man's point of view. As far as the evangelist is concerned, all men, women and children of every race, clime or creed, are to me reached by the Gospel and should be treated equally.

I created the human race from one created man. Male and female, both came from the first man Adam. Ignorant man can argue as much as he likes about this, but it does not alter the facts one little tiny bit. I created man out of the basic building blocks of the earth that I had created. There was no previous hierarchy, no previous evolutionary chain, stretching back into a past which never existed. When I created man, he was created man and has remained man throughout the ages. A man today could father a child from Eve, and a woman today could be a mother to Adam's child. This is an immovable fact. Therefore all men and women alive today are brothers and sisters, and direct and equal descendants of Adam and Eve. Nothing man can say will ever change that. Hold on to it.

Many of your brothers and sisters have been brought up in a totally different, and almost alien, culture from yours. Some of the races of man have been isolated from their brothers and sisters, and now behave differently and hold different standards and values. This does not devalue them or make then sub-human! All men are equal. Some races of man have been subject to the influence of evil for generations, and are taught evil ways from birth. This does not make the men and women caught in that culture sub-human, or outside the reach of the gospel. Indeed the gospel is desperately needed by them!

No man, woman or child shall be excluded from the Kingdom of Heaven because you, or any one else, don't like them! When sharing the good news of the Kingdom, personal likes and dislikes are to be handed over to Me. You see son, I love every man I have ever made! Yes I even loved Hitler, Saddam Hussein and Gaddafi! I didn't love what they did or represented, but I loved them and longed for them to turn to Me for salvation. My heart breaks every time someone rejects My love.

Before My Church dares point the finger of condemnation upon any walk of man, let them first look to their own position. I have entrusted my precious Gospel of Jesus My Son, into the hands of My Church, people who claim to be followers of Mine. But I do not see the Church taking the lead in the moral issues of the day! I do not see them reaching out with the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the nations, who are starving, war-torn, and ravaged! I do not see the Christian Gospel filling the void left by the collapse of Islam! Yes, there are individuals and small congregations, who are doing their best, and I love them for it, but where are the main establishments, the recognised denominations? I do not hear their voices above the din!

I want my people everywhere to turn to me and repent. Pray for the world, pray for the nation, pray for your town or village. Pray for your church, your leaders and your politicians. Pray for those who are lost. Remember, all men are mine, all men are brothers, all men can be reached and saved. I love them and I want you to love them too. Stand up and shout with one voice, "Jesus IS Lord!"

My Sheep Hear My Voice

Me: Good morning Lord. Thank you for waking me this morning and for this new day. Thank you for listening to me as I make my prayers to you, and for being a God who hears and answers prayers. I love you Lord.

Lord: Good morning son. Thank you for joining us this morning. Of course I hear your prayers. I hear every sound that the world makes, from the sound of a butterfly's wings, and the beating of the heart of an ant, to the roar of the sea beating against the rocks and the sound of the mountains falling! Nothing escapes me. Every time a child of mine cries out for help, I act.

Every person on the Earth, I have made. All are my children. With some I am well pleased, and for others I grieve. Since the dawn of time I have made my ways clear to mankind and I have written clearly upon the heart of every man, woman and child, a sense of right and wrong. Even when Satan deceives and hides the truth from someone, I am able to speak truth into their hearts. Some hear and respond to me, and I am able to act for them. Others hear my words in their hearts and choose, yes, choose, to ignore me, and turn back to the ways of darkness and sin.

My word to all men is to do justly, love mercy, and to walk humbly before your God. In the world today there are many who know me and do what is right in my eyes. They feed the hungry, heal the sick, and bring justice to those who are without advocate. There are also many, who do not know me by name, but who, because they have heard in their hearts what is right, act righteously, justly and with mercy and love. I have their reward prepared for them as well.

There are also many who know what is right and wrong, and who choose the pathway of selfishness, greed and violence. The suppress and exploit the weak and the poor, and show no mercy or generosity to others. Because of their ways and the choice they have made, I turn the light of my face from them. That does not mean that I am unaware of their deeds, nor does it mean I have given up on them, for I long for them to turn to me and be saved! However those who resist me, and keep their face turned away from me, preferring the path of darkness and sin, have no place in my Kingdom and their names do not appear in the Lamb's Book of Life.

At the time of Exile, I did everything possible to turn the hearts of the disobedient back to me. I rebuked them and brought calamity upon them. I loved them and gave them another chance, but they stubbornly refused to come back to me. Therefore I had to let them go. Oh how that hurt me, for I loved them so much and still do.

Down all the ages things haven't changed. Time and again I do everything I can to turn men back to me. In every generation there are those who respond and do what is right, but there are also others who do not turn to me but listen to the lies of Satan and do evil. My heart still aches for those who choose the path of darkness and to walk away from me, and I am always looking out for them to return to me. Even when they are far from me, drowning in their sin, I hear their heartbeat, and I watch for the slightest flicker of light in in the darkness.

Today, yes even today, there are those who respond to me and do what is right. And there are those, many in high places, highly respected by worldly institutions, who do not love justice, mercy or peace. They do not walk in my ways or do my will. I am bringing about calamity for them, for all the things in which they trust are crumbling and falling to dust. But still they will not turn to me!

You my children are to love the justice I bring. Love mercy and bless those around you. Do what you know is right in my eyes. Walk humbly before me offering your love, praise and worship, remembering that, but for my grace, you too would be still walking in darkness and in the grip of Satan.

I call all the world, the righteous and the unrighteous, to repentance. Repent for all the sin of the nations, for injustice, violence, oppression and war. Repent for intolerance and lack of understanding. Repent for prejudice and blindness. Turn to me and seek my face, that I may stretch out my hand and heal the nation, and raise you up again to walk in righteousness and peace before me. I love you.

You Shall Have No gods Before Me

Me: Good morning Lord. Thank you for waking me this morning and for this new day. Lord I give you this day and this week and ask for your hand in all we do and say. I love you Lord.

Lord: Good morning son. Thank you for joining us this morning. Stay close to me, and do not be afraid to ask for my help at any time during the week. I am with you always and hear your every thought. I love you too.

I am the Lord your God, you shall not put anything or anyone before me.

Only when man truly understands the magnitude of this statement, will the problems the world faces today begin to make sense. Oh yes, all the 'experts' in finance each think they have an economic solution. Every politician of every party thinks they alone have the solution. Every head of state, and leaders of all the different organisations and departments of power, all think they have a solution which will work, but all of them come to nothing and none of them agree. Every one has placed their own idea before me, and has tried to push me out altogether.

I placed first my chosen people, Israel, then my Church, the body of Christ on earth, to show men of all nations that I am the Lord Almighty, and that I really do have the well being of the nations near to my heart. First Israel, and now the Church, succumbed to the ways of the world, and turned away from me, until only a remnant was left. Time after time in history, I have shown beyond doubt, that the nations who trust me, and follow me, are blessed beyond measure. But men still turn from me, and follow the gods they have made with their own hands.

That is why I have chosen the remnant that are left, and am preparing them to be a new force for My Kingdom on Earth. I am calling you, my children, to put me first, and to have no gods before me.

Look at all the great men and women in the Bible. See, how when they walked behind me, and put me first, I was able to perform, in their midst and often through them, great, wonderful and terrible things. When the people followed their lead the nation prospered.

My call goes out now to every nation and people under Heaven, not just to the Church, but to all men and women everywhere. "I am the Lord your God, you shall not put anything or anyone before me." When you obey this, the first of my great commandments, then I will reveal to you the great mystery of salvation; I will introduce you to my Son Jesus. Therein lies the hope of the nations and the prosperity of mankind. The hope of the nations today does not lie in monetary, or political unions. It does not lie in the hands of the rich or the poor. Nor is it any use relying on the power of military action. All these forces I am bringing to nothing! The hope of the world lies in my beloved Son, Jesus.

My people, turn to me. Look closely at your lives, and root out from them all the gods you have accumulated unwittingly, and placed before me. Repent and allow me to cleanse you and make a new being out of you. Place Jesus on the throne in the centre of your being and let Him be your guide, your salvation and your hope. I love you.

A Net over the British Isles

Me: Good morning Lord. Thank you for waking me this morning and for giving me this new day. Thank you for your love and encouragement and for all the blessings you pour upon us. I love you Lord.

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

In these days I am casting my net over all of the British Isles. I have already established fellowships and prayer groups, and have called individuals to pray. I now want these prayer cells, wherever they are, to be aware of each other and to link hands with others as they pray. Each cell is like the knots in the net and each linked hand is a part of the web that makes the net. Close up the holes and establish the links. Do not worry about statements of faith, or likeness of doctrine. I am interested only in my Church becoming an effective net, to draw in the catch and fill the Kingdom. All these cells I am speaking about, love my son Jesus, and are themselves called by His name. Every group has a story to tell of how I work with them. Their stories are as diverse as the number of groups. No two are the same, and I wouldn't have it any other way.

Focus on Jesus, pray for the Nation, confess and repent, and receive the forgiveness I give. Lay aside your differences, and offer praise and worship as one. Encourage one another with your faith story, and share with each other all that I am teaching you. Open your hearts to the Holy Spirit and allow Him to develop the gifts I am giving you.

I know you are all busy! I know that some of you feel under pressure, but make time in each day for me. Allow me to start the day for you by topping up your tank, as you pray and read My word. Satisfy your hunger as you spend time with me, and I will fill you with all the gifts you need for each day. Do not be afraid to speak of me to others, for I am putting a hunger in the hearts of many people today, a hunger that needs satisfying now.

For those at University I say this: In all your studies and research, keep a humble approach in all things. Learn what you can, while that avenue is open to you. In all your work remember me, and call upon me to guide and teach you. Let me show you the wonders of the world, and see it all  through my eyes! Whatever your field of study and research, know this: I am you ultimate authority. I know far more than even the most learned experts. Stay close to me and let me teach you and use you, for I have a purpose for you, and have placed you where you are, to glorify me.

To all I say; lift up your eyes from your busy-ness and labours. Lift up your eyes and behold the new day that is dawning. It is the day I have made and in this day I purpose many things. Rise up, men and women of God. Rise up and move forward for the Kingdom. Take up your lantern and shine like a beacon. Clothe yourself with the whole armour of God, move forward as one to destroy the works of darkness and establish the Kingdom of Light. Stand in the Name of Jesus, and let you battle cry be "Jesus is Lord". At that cry, demons and spirits tremble and flee. Jesus is Lord!

Delight in Me

Lord: Blessed is the one who delights in me and lets my words be on his mouth day and night. Those who delight in me are those who stay close to me through all the changes and chances of this life. They are those who hold on to my word, reading and reciting it daily, and making that word a part of who they are! They are the ones who, with open eyes, look for me and see all that I am doing around them. They are the ones who speak of me and delight when others share my name.

Those who delight in me see more around them than themselves. They see the poor and the oppressed, they see the sick and the lonely, they see the thirsty and those without warmth or comfort. They see, and they act to reach out to those in need, and meet their needs. They share Jesus with a generous spirit and a warm heart.

My word is in their mouth day and night because they read my word and delight daily in it, as if it were a feast of good food. They drink it like a good wine and rejoice with a clear voice. By reading my word regularly, they let the word soak into their very being and it becomes a part of them. As a result of the word being a part of them, they act with righteousness and truth, and find they can easily discern what is right and what is wrong.

Walk each day with Jesus my beloved Son. follow in his footsteps and listen with enthusiasm to his words, and copy with eagerness his actions as he loved those around him and shared with them the Good News of the Kingdom of Heaven.

As well as sharing your story and the Kingdom with those who have not heard the Good News, seek out those who are well versed in the gospel and who manifest the spiritual gifts. Learn from them and share what I am doing through you, with them. They can encourage and bless you, and you can encourage and bless them.

Lift up your voices in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs. Praise me and worship me, for it is on the praises of my people that I ride through the earth. As my people lift their voices in loud praise, my Spirit sets the captive free and opens the way to full and perfect healing.

Children, let your delight be not in the prowess of men or nations, but in the Lord your God. Focus on Jesus, delight in Him and follow in the path we are lighting before you. In the darkness of the days ahead the only clear way ahead will be the path I am leading you down, for that path, and that path alone, is the path of light and life.

I say to You

Me: Good morning Lord. Thank you for waking me this morning and for this new day. Thank you Lord for a good night's sleep, and a refreshing walk with you. I love you Lord.

Lord: Good morning Martin. Thank you for your company this morning and for spending time with us. We always enjoy your company. I love you too.

Take your pen, and write all the words that I give you, and do not be afraid, or over awed, by the things that I say to you. Remember that I command, and my word is law!

To the Young

I am speaking to the young ones who have committed their lives to me. Rise up, men and women of God. Do not be afraid to speak out the truth, that has been revealed to you through the Holy Spirit. Older men will speak out against you and try to silence you, but their words are as empty as their heads. Base your truth on the Holy Scripture, my word. Use my word as your starting point in all debate and research. Do not let yourselves be drawn by empty theories and arguments that exclude me, for they all lead down blind alleys.

Use all the vigour I have given you in your youth, to pursue truth, and discover all the things that have laid hidden from men since the fall of Adam. Follow the leadings I shall give you, and walk in the way of righteousness and truth. Love one another and uphold each other, as together you work for the Kingdom of Heaven.

Those of you who are feeling the call to be evangelists, know this: In every age, those who I call are young and still have the energy of youth. Be bold, be strong, and use the energy I have given you, as you speak the words I shall give you each time you open your mouth for me. Do not let anyone despise your youth, nor be discouraged, but continue to speak the words that I give you. Remember that I am standing by you, and I am in every word that I give you.

There are others among you, whom I am calling to support and encourage, to pastor and to nurture. Again I say to you, do not let any despise your youth, or try to discourage you, by saying you have no experience of being a pastor. Let me give you that experience, and guide you to do all the things I am calling you to do.

To all of you I say: Stay close to me, and spend time with me. Read and digest my word in scripture. Do not be selective, but read and mark every word, for all scripture is given for your learning and edification. Listen to the still small voice as I speak to you in the silence, and be prepared, for when I speak to you it will be words of knowledge, wisdom, and prophecy. Use the gifts that I have provided through the Spirit, and clothe yourselves in the armour I provide. I am with you, now and always. Come, let us go out, claim the Kingdom, and proclaim Jesus is Lord!

To the Older ones

I am speaking now, to those who are past the first flush of youth. I want you to rise up from your comfortable chair! Take to the walls of the city, and watch. Use all the wisdom, and knowledge I have given you, as you watch, wait, and listen. Look at the state of the city, and the mess that is in people's lives. Look at the corruption, and the injustices, that have been brought about by greed. You may not feel that they are your fault, and may even feel indignant as you look upon them, but I want you to repent for your city, repent for your nation, repent for the sin of the world. I call on you to do this, because those who have caused this mess, or who live entrenched in their lives of sin, cannot yet repent themselves. Through your prayers of repentance, I will cause a wave of repentance, to sweep through the nations. That wave will carry others with it, and like a tsunami, will gather momentum, until it has washed all things clean.

Encourage the young men and women, who now carry the torch of faith. Pray for them and support them in every way. Correct them in all gentleness if they stray, and do not criticise them, for they speak as I command them. Bless those around you, and support my children, as they discover their ministry and place, in the church I have created, and in the Kingdom I have established.

To All I say: Love one another, as I have loved you!

All One in Christ.

Me: Good morning Lord. Thank you for waking me this morning and for this new day. Thank you for a good night's sleep, and for all the blessings you pour out on us, your servants. I love you Lord.

Lord: Good morning Martin. Thank you for joining us this morning and for your company as we walked. We love you too.

Jesus: One day, when I was talking with my disciples, they asked me about the hierarchy of the Kingdom of Heaven. They were discussing which of them would be secretary or treasurer, and who would sit at my right hand. Inside I wept, because even after being with them so long, and teaching them so much, they still didn't really understand that my Church, and the Kingdom of Heaven, are not run on the same lines as worldly institutions and kingdoms.

The Kingdom is my Father's. He is the king, and always will be. I am His Son, but there is no succession to the throne of Heaven; we are one and He is king for ever and ever. My Father is almighty, and there is no one who can stand against him, for He created all things and all peoples. He knows all things, and needs the help of no one. Therefore there is no need for secretaries and treasurers! I sit at his right hand because He has given me that place. There is no seat beside me, save His alone.

When I came to the earth and called my disciples to form the Church, I did not intend that it would in any way resemble the institutions of men, but that it should reflect the Kingdom of Heaven. My Father is the King, and all of those who come to him, and form the Kingdom, come through me. All are equal before my Father, for everyone has been redeemed and saved through My Cross.

We have no bishops, moderators, or clerics of any sort in the Kingdom, for all who are saved stand shoulder to shoulder before the throne of Grace. I want you, my Church, to be like that here on earth. Look only to My Father and Me, as we sit upon our thrones before you. If you take your eyes off us, and look at others, you could, and will, go astray. Stand as one, for you are our family. Love one another, as I have loved you. Uphold and support each other and accept the love and support of those around you. Share with each other all that I teach you.

Together, in my strength alone, reach out to those around you who do not yet know me. Share your story, and bring them to me. Forgive those who sin against you, remembering that I have forgiven you. Do not be drawn into pointless arguments or divisions. Remember that I and my Father are one, with the Holy Spirit, and we want to be one with you also.

Everyone has a very slightly different view from the one standing next to him, just as everyone sees a different rainbow! So there are bound to be differences in opinions. I don't mind that you are all different; that is how I made you. Share your differences and be richer for it. Only be united in one thing. Be united in me!

Bless those around you, and bless one another. Rejoice together that you have a special place in My Father's kingdom, a place near to His heart. Love one another as I have loved you.

Which way Lord?

Me: Good morning Lord. Thank you for waking me this morning and for this new day, Thank you for the clear shy and the brilliant stars, and the moon that gives me light to walk the dark path. Thank you for your company and your guidance. I love you Lord.

Lord: Good morning son, welcome to the club this morning. I'm so glad you liked the celestial show I laid on for you this morning. Though the path may be dark, if you always walk with me I shall be a light for you to see and a lantern for your feet. Trust me.

Martin, this time each morning walking with me and spending it in conversation, is very important both for you, for me, and for others as well. I would that all my children would spent a good time with me, uninterrupted and in constant communion with me. Not only do you benefit from this time, but all those for whom you pray benefit as well! I hear all your prayers as you ask them, and you have time to hear my replies. Encourage others to spend time with me.

As you walk with me and begin to rely on me for all your needs, you will begin to see me work in new and wonderful ways. As you encounter forks in the road you are walking, ask me to show you which way to walk. As you meet with opposition, ask me for words to say. As you meet with difficulties, commit each one to me, and let me do the sorting. Let your prayer always be, "Which way Lord?" or "What should I do now Lord?" Then listen, as I instruct you.

If you look at the examples of this in the Bible, you will see that I often said things like, "Assemble and do nothing!" or "Watch me work." Then, as the people watched, I have given them the victory without their needing to lift one hand! Sometimes, indeed often, I will tell you what action to take, and then you will move forward in power. But remember always, the power is mine, not yours, and the action you take is at my command. All glory must be given to me. I am the Lord who guides you. I am the Lord your strength.

I know, and I understand your weaknesses, but it is when you are weak that I am strong. It is when you are low or cast down that I can raise you up. When I raise you up, you can be a strength to the weak and an encouragement to those who are cast down. Remember always that one encouraging word, offered in love, can change a life and save a soul.

Always speak in love, never in hate. Give all your anger to me, and let my love take over and heal the hole that is left. Always be ready to forgive, just as you have, in Jesus, been forgiven. Keep your eyes fixed on me and seek always the Kingdom of Heaven. That is your destination and the place to which I am leading you. A place near to my heart. A place I have prepared for all those who love me. A place where you will be near to me and those whom you love and where you will feel at home. I love you.

Word for Today

Me: Good morning Lord. Thank you for waking me this morning and for this fresh new day. Help me Lord to stay close to you today and to be in the centre of your will. I love you Lord.

Lord: Good morning Martin. Welcome to the club this morning and thank you for joining us on our walk. Stay close to me this day and I will keep you in the centre of my will. I love you.

About the blog Martin, I want you to continue publishing each day I give you something. No, it's right you don't know who sees it, or will see it in future. That is for me to decide! Just be faithful and publish what I give you. No word of mine falls on barren land. Every seed I sow takes root and come to life. Sometimes it takes a lifetime for it to flower! In others the seed takes root quickly, and the plant grows tall and straight. But the growth of my seed is not the responsibility of the sower; that is my part. It's up to me.

I want my whole church to realise that no proclamation of my truth ever falls on deaf ears. Yes, there are those who pass it over or who turn their backs, but always there is someone who takes the word away with them, and ponders it and feeds on it. When you are weak and you feel you have failed, is the moment I am strong, and where success is found. Do not be discouraged. Hold fast and keep proclaiming.

At this time I am drawing in those whom I have called, those to whom the word was delivered some time ago. Though it appears nothing happened, I have been working on that seed and giving it growth. Be prepared for those on the fringes of the kingdom to suddenly come alive, and break into a run that will bring them straight into the arms of Jesus! Rejoice with them and be glad.

Those who harvest this time, will gather in those who they did not sow. Others will reap a harvest from those you have sown. Rejoice that you have had your part in their salvation, whether sowing or reaping. The important thing is that the harvest is full!

When Paul wrote his letters to the various churches, he wanted them to be read to the whole church and to be shared among the congregations, but he had no idea that they would be continually read down 2000 years! The same is true of the blog and the books I give you; they are not just for today's readership, but for all who I direct to find and read them. My words are eternal, spoken outside of time. Remember that, as you write them down.

Be encouraged and build each other up in faith and boldness. Move forward like a mighty army and claim the land back for me. Open up communication lines, that my word for today may be heard and read in every corner of the world. I love you.

Walk the Path with Me.

Me: Good morning Lord. Thank you for waking me this morning and for this new day. Thank you Lord that you always hear our prayers. Lord I commit all those for whom I have prayed this morning and I ask Lord that you will meet all their needs whatever they are. I love you Lord.

Lord: Good morning Martin, Thank you for joining us this morning and for spending time with us. Thank you for your prayers for those you love and care for. Be assured that I have heard every one of your prayers and have acted accordingly. We love you, and we love those you pray for.

As you listen to me, be open to what I am saying, for I would lead you into areas you would not normally go, and down paths you would not normally tread. Do not be afraid, only be strong and very courageous. The sort of paths I will take you down require you to take a step of faith.

When my Son was about to leave his disciples and come home to me, He gave them a commission to take the gospel into all the world. He told them to heal the sick and raise the dead, and to do all the things that He had done. These things can only be accomplished when my children walk close to me. When you walk close to me and we become working partners together, these signs and wonders will follow. And the Kingdom of Heaven will be enlarged.

Each day, as you draw close to me, you bring those with needs to me. I want you to continue to do this, but not with an attitude of resignation, or with a belief that "this is a disaster." I want you to bring them to me in faith, believing that I have the perfect answer for them! Then be bold, and ask me what that answer is!

Ask me what you should be doing about it, for it may be that you have a role in the answer. Be open to what I say to you, for if I do ask you to act, I require you to act immediately! When I speak to you and share with you my will, hold on to that vision of my perfection, and do not let anything move you from claiming that vision in it's entirety.

The same is true when you pray for those who need to be drawn into the Kingdom. Some people are incredibly stubborn and resist all attempts to 'convert them'. If I give you the vision of them as my children, it is time for you to be stubborn, and to hold on and claim them for the kingdom. Do not let go of that vision or stop praying, until you see them on their knees praying for salvation.

Do not be afraid to journal what I tell you about. It doesn't need to be made public, but if it is recorded, it is there to remind you, of both my will, and when delivered, my answer.

So when I reveal a path and open the way for you, walk along it with me, for you will never walk alone; I shall be with you. Open your eyes and watch me work. Be glad, for I am always with you, and always at work. I want us to be together in this work. I love you.

Language of the heart

Me: Good morning Lord. Thank you for waking me this morning and for our walk and your company. Thank you for listening to all my ramblings and concerns and for the wonderful peace you give me when I have unloaded it. I love you Lord.

Lord: Good morning Martin. Welcome to the club this morning and thank you for your company. I love to listen to your ramblings. I always love it when my children talk to me out of their hearts. I would rather hear one faltering prayer from the heart than an hour of prayers written by another. The prayer from the heart doesn't need to be well composed or even coherent, I know what you are saying because I read your heart.

That is why praying in tongues is so helpful. You don't need an accurate word for word translation, as long as it flows from your innermost being. Think of it a bit like a computer. You can feed into the keyboard your English words and symbols, but inside the message is racing around the chips in a totally different language. Were you able to slow it down to a speed you could decipher it you would still not understand it unless you first learn to decode, or interpret it. The language of the heart is a spiritual language that is used in Heaven. You can feel it, and understand it, but you don't actually need to run it through the intellect or language centre in your brain to understand it. You only need to do that if you want to describe it to another person. Like the language of love it needs no words. This is why the good news about salvation is universal. You don't need to be a great intellectual to receive it, and often the highly intellectual person finds it hard to receive, because it doesn't always conform to human understanding and knowledge.

You will remember from your childhood a saying that was very common: 'Feelings ain't Facts.' Well I want to tell you that feelings are a very important part of the language of love and the Kingdom. I gave man the ability to feel. I also gave him another sense which the world calls instinct. Nine times out of ten what you think of as instinct is a spiritual nudge from me. Learn to discern what is from me, and don't be afraid to ask me. There are so many gifts and abilities I have given to mankind that still lie dormant because he has grasped knowledge above life. Knowledge does not give life, but living life brings knowledge. The tree of Life was more important than the tree of Knowledge. Choose Life!

So, pray your prayers from the heart. Don't be concerned about their composition or beauty, just pour them out to me. I love to hear them and I honour and hold precious, every prayer from the heart, prayed by anyone. Listen to the prayers of others, and hear in them the love that wells up from the heart, and be glad that your Heavenly Father hears, through the tears and the sighs. He hears through the pain and the hurt, and he alone reaches into that secret place and delivers healing, warmth and comfort. Open the door to let his love in. Behold, I stand at the door and knock. Whoever opens the door of their heart to me, will find I come in, and with My Heavenly Father and the Holy Spirit, we make our dwelling within you. Why? Because we love you.

Go out in Tears, But Return with Joy

Me: Good morning Lord. Thank you for waking me this morning and for allowing me to join you on that fantastic walk in the stillness of this Bank Holiday Monday. I love you Lord.

Lord: Good morning Martin. Welcome to the club this morning and thank you for your company.

I love all whom I have made. There has never been anyone made that I have not loved as a father loves his child. I long to bless all my children, but alas, for some, the blessing slips off, as they resist me and walk the other way. Every day my heart is broken again, as I watch those I love walking the path of disobedience. Until you understand the lengths I went to in order to bring you to me, you cannot fully understand the lengths I go to, to save the foulest and most persistent sinner. Because of the path they follow they shall eat the fruits of their sin and die in a bath of riches, which others will take from them, leaving them naked, to return to the dust from which I took them. In a generation they will be forgotten by men and their lives will be as though they had never been.

Blessed are those who walk close to me and live in the fear of the Lord their God. My blessing rests upon them and upon all the fruits of their labour. Blessings and riches are being stored up for you in the Kingdom of God. Your life is like a vine, full of fruit, and your children are like new shoots growing strong in the light of my love. All that you build with me will stand for ever, and as you stand guard over others, I will stand with you. I give strength to those who toil, and sleep to the weary, and those who fear me are never put to shame.

I want to give you a new slant on the harvest, for I am sending labourers into the harvest fields, who are filled with tears. These are tears for the lost and the dying, for those who have turned their back upon Me. They go out weeping. But because of their faithfulness to me, I shall cause them to return with singing and dancing for the seeds they have sown, even that which fell on poor soil, has germinated and they carry in the sheaves with them. Many will be gathered in who were once thought lost, because of the faithfulness of those who fear me.

Rise early and sow the seeds of my love. Gather in those I give to you and return in joy as the barns of the kingdom of Heaven are filled to the brim. For I will bless those whom I will bless, and I will save those whom I will save and my love and bounty shall be seen in all the earth. I will turn your tears into laughing and your sorrows into joy.

Jesus: 

My blessing I give to you.
Peace is my gift to you.
Your tears are turned to joy,
and your sorrows into laughter.
My healing rests upon you.
Your pain will be remembered no more.
For I have loved you with an everlasting love,
and I have prepared for you a place,
near to the heart of My Father,
because I love you.

Me: Thank you Lord, I love you.

Healing and Deliverance

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

Lord: Good morning son, thank you for joining us this morning and for listening to, and reading our words. We love you.

As you come across those whom I am calling, you will find that some have needs of healing, deliverance and prayer. As I commanded my disciples to go into all the world and heal the sick, cast out demons, and preach the good news, so I am commanding you, my church, to do the same. Take the authority I give you and speak the word of command as I prompt you. Remember that Satan cannot stand before you, when you speak in my name. He is a defeated foe, who I have disarmed. Do not listen to his lies, but boldly, and with my authority, speak the words I shall give you.

Those who come to you with sicknesses are bound by the evil one. Healing them is achieved in my name only, which will unbind them and set them free.

Those who are brought to you, oppressed and sometimes possessed, by evil spirits, are also bound by the Evil One. Draw close to me and draw others close as you prayerfully use the authority of my name with these loved ones. Remember the oppression is often deep rooted, and those who suffer usually see it as part of themselves. Shine my light, the light of love upon them. Shatter the darkness with the authority I give you and deliver them from the darkness. Be bold, be strong and very courageous, for I am with you.

Those who plead with you for your prayers, satisfy immediately. Do not say, "I will pray for you tonight, or tomorrow." Pray with them there and then. Encourage them to reach out to me and ask in their own words. Pray my blessing on them, and for openness and the ability to receive all I want to give them. Always remember I want to give them more than they can even dare to ask, and I long to give it to them immediately.

I delight and there is great rejoicing in Heaven, when even one person turns to me. I will open the flood gates of blessing on all who become a part of my kingdom. All subjects of the Kingdom of Heaven are like princes to me and I love them all so much.

Do not be afraid to bless others. Your blessing is my blessing, for it is given in my name.
