You ain't seen nothing yet!

Me:    Good morning Lord. Thank you for waking me this morning and for this new day. Thank you for the early morning sun, the blue of the sky and the beauty of your creation. I love you Lord.

Lord:    Good morning son. Thank you for joining us this morning and your company on our walk. We love you too.

I want to tell you about things to come. No, not prophecy about future events, not yet anyway. I want to tell you about the place I have prepared for you. Ever since the foundations were laid for the heavens and the earth, I have been preparing a special place, where all my people may dwell in safety and comfort. It is a place very near to the loving heart of my Father, and it is a place where I am also. It is a place where light shines, where there is no darkness at all. The light is not the light of a sun or a moon, but is is the light in my Father's eyes, a light that  sees into all the places he has created. Yes, Heaven is a created place, but not a time-limited place like the earth on which you live. It is a place of discovery and a place of beauty. Colours you never dreamed of and sounds you can never imagine.

It is a place of memory. Yes even the memories of earth and of people you have known, but it's memory soaked in love, so there is no pain in the memory any more.

It's an amazing place that has given us great joy designing for you. Most souls that arrive here find the most amazing part is the fact that you don't have to worry about transport. Movement within Heaven is both natural and instantaneous. Although it is outside the time frame restrictions of Earth the passage of time is experienced, but not as a linear experience. We have made it a natural experience for you. It was, after all, designed with man in mind and my Father knows mankind better than anyone!

Relationships are a speciality of Heaven. There is no fear any more, so meeting people, old friends and even old enemies, carries no threat and no embarrassment.

My Father says that I am the common factor in Heaven! Everyone here is here because of me. There are many here who looked forward to my coming to earth, yet they never saw it in their day, or with their eyes of flesh. There are many here who never knew my name, but responded to me. Many were never 'Christians' as you would recognise the term, but they responded to me and loved me. Many who are here will surprise you, and some may even be surprised to see you here when you arrive! But there is great joy here all the time, as new souls arrive.

There is always praise and worship going on here. Anyone and everyone can join in at any part or time. There is a lot of singing and music, and many who have never had any experience of music find they can make the most wonderful music ever heard.

I said it was a place of discovery. Well, that's a huge understatement! Everything about Heaven is waiting to be discovered and is different for everyone. Whatever your passions or interests, Father has provided for you and will stretch your imagination beyond belief.

All this is just a taster. What I want you be assured of, is that the Father loves you, and I love you too, and we really have prepared a lovely place for you. Stay therefore on the road that leads to life. Take my hand and come with me as I lead you. Do not be afraid. I have a burning desire that all men and women, boys and girls, of every nation and creed should come and live in my Father's mansion. Please help me to show them the way, through My Cross. Show them My love. Tell them your story and be my witnesses. Heaven will be Heaven all over again when you all come home. I love you.

Rise up, O Men of God

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!

Water in the Desert.

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.

Come unto Me

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

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

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

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

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

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

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