Spreading the True Gospel - Part 4

Lord: Over the centuries, My chosen people had struggled with their understanding of me. For those who followed Me, and tried to live the way, I wanted them to live, the struggle was creating and maintaining laws, which prevented them from falling into the ways of their ancestors, who had roused My wrath. So intense was the struggle to maintain a status quo, from one generation to another, the origins of sin and the significance of man's fall, became lost in the mists of time. Oh yes, they had the accounts written down in the book of Genesis, and they read it and expounded it regularly. But the understanding that I was doing something about it, and was building a bridge across the great divide between Heaven and Earth, was lost to them.

Jesus, was well aware of the fall of Man, and of Noah and the Flood, and of all the events which led to the rise and fall, so many times, of the children of Israel. He not only knew about these events, but understood My part in these things, and My purpose behind them, Jesus did not believe these accounts with a blind faith. He believed them and accepted them as truth on two levels. First of all, He believed them because He received these accounts that were passed down as a part of his people's history. The events were told to each generation, without embellishment or alteration, and each generation made sure they passed it on accurately. Secondly, he believed it all because He was an eye-witness. Yes, Jesus was with me when I created all things! He was a first-hand witness to the events that led Israel to rise and fall. He testifies to this himself when he said, "Before Abraham was, I am." He was already there before Abraham; indeed he was there before Adam. He and I are one.

Every day, My heart broke, because of the sins of My children. His heart broke also. We both knew, from the very beginning, the risk of giving man free-will. We also knew the full cost of putting the situation right. But in order to achieve My purpose, which was to have man love me freely, and of his own free-will, without coercion, and without the fear of the law, someone, who does not suffer from the same condemnation as man, but who is human, must pay the price of sin.

No man born under the curse of Adam, could die for another man's sins. As man can only die once, and he was under the same condemnation; his death would only satisfy his own sin! It had to be a man who was not under that condemnation. In effect, I had to do it Myself! Jesus and I are one. I had to come and be born into a man. This is why Jesus didn't have a human father. Mary his mother was overshadowed by My Spirit, and conceived Jesus, the only man to be totally free from the sin of Adam, yet descended from him through Mary. In dying on the cross, not for his own sin, but for your sin, Jesus took away the curse, and opened a way for man to return to Me.

Now, I spoke about risk for us. The risk was not the pain of death. Nor was it the pain of being separated from Me, as He carried your sin away. It was the risk that, even after such an act of love, man would not accept it, and continue in his rebellion and sin. Remember that gift I gave man, when I breathed into him the breath of life? Free-will! I have not withdrawn that gift. Mankind still has the choice to turn to me, repent of his sin and follow in the way I lead him, or to reject me and continue on his on own way.  Of course, he has always had that choice, but the big difference now, is that Jesus has paid the price for his sin and in so doing, has opened the bridge between Heaven and Earth. That bridge is the Cross on which He died. That Cross has meaning, that is firmly planted in the soil of Eden. It was a pointless gesture, if man had not sinned. If Eden is a Myth, then so is sin, and the Cross has no foundation. My church must accept that My word, the Bible is true, and return to teaching it, and proclaiming the whole gospel. The gospel of Jesus, as the Saviour of Man from Sin, is the best news any man, woman or child, can hear. Every man woman and child, whatever their background and former beliefs, has the free-will to receive Jesus, and all the benefits of the Cross. Once received, no-one has the right to take it away. In these days, men and women everywhere, in every nation under heaven, not only need to hear the good news, but want to receive some good news, in this world of collapsing economies, falling standards, hatred and violence.

Why is the gospel good news? because it brings love, into a loveless world, and love changes lives. I am Love, and from the moment I created man, I loved him. I still love him in spite of all the sin and evil he has been involved with. I hate the sin, but I love the sinner.

    Tell My people I love them.
    Tell My people I care.
    When they feel far away from Me,
    Tell My people, I am there.

Spreading the True Gospel - Part 2

Lord: Having established that the origin of man's sin, is very firmly placed in the Garden of Eden, and that the nature of that sin, was the deliberate disobedience of man, to the command I gave him, we can begin to move on, and look at where that bad situation led.

For his own good, lest he put forth his hand, and take also fruit from the tree of life, and eat, which would give him eternal life, I had to turn him out into the world, and guard the way to the Tree of Life. Now there are two reasons for doing this: Had the man and woman continued living in the garden in their disobedience, with all the consequences of that sin, they would have eventually taken from the tree of life, eaten and become like Me, eternal. Over the eons of time, that make up eternity, it would have become too big a burden for man, to bear eternity separated from Me! I had to act. I had to cut his life to a more manageable time scale. It was for his own good. Secondly, sin is like a cancer. I had to prevent the cancer from spreading, into the heavens I had created, which is where the fruit of the tree of life leads.

This brings me on to the next layer of foundation for the Gospel. I had to create a pathway, a means of transport, for mankind to come back to Me, which would deal with this problem of sin. It would have been easy for Me to just obliterate sin, take away the man's ability to make that choice. But I would have ended up with a man who loved me, purely because I made him to love Me, and not because he chooses to love Me. The free-will love of man, is very precious to me.

In the centuries following the expulsion from the garden, evil abounded. There were no laws, no guidelines for man to follow, and the inherent goodness of man was, generation by generation, swamped by selfishness, greed and anger. In those generations, very few men and women bothered to ask Me for My help! The situation deteriorated, until Adam and Eve had both died, and all those who had walked with Me were no more. Eventually, there was only Noah left, who could be really called, righteous.

As I said yesterday, with man's disobedience, the Earth began to creak and groan. Yes, the whole of creation, even the stars in the heavens, were affected by the disharmony that man had set in motion. Such was the disturbance in nature, the Earth itself wanted to cleanse itself of the irritation. The only reason it didn't, was that I placed My hand upon the Earth to calm it down, until the time was right, when I could see that all those who had known me were gone, and that, the thoughts of mankind were only evil all the time. Having prepared Noah and his sons, and instructed them in the building of the ark, I withdrew my hand, to allow the built up tensions in the Earth to release. Only Noah and his family were saved.

The flood, and the salvation of the animal kingdom, and all mankind through the ark, was a real event in history. For those with open minds and hearts, the evidence is all around, to see and be discovered. It was a very important event in My plan for salvation. It shows the consequences of evil, and My love for mankind, that I did not completely wipe him from the face of the earth. The Biblical record of these events is both accurate and true. As with all scripture, it may be relied upon in every way.

The Church today must return, to its once firmly held belief, in the inerrant truth of scripture. The Bible is My word, and I do not lie. Those who try to convince, even the elect, that the Garden of Eden, and the great Flood, are purely myths, know that if they can undermine these truths, saying they are not history, then the whole gospel of Jesus Christ is without foundation.

Man has sinned, and has fallen short of My glory, and the standard I have set for him. The consequence of sin is death. It is not a punishment, it is the direct result of sin. That death, is eternal separation from Me, your Creator and lover. Yes I love you!. Without My love, all mankind is loveless!

So I call My Church to return to the full gospel, starting with the truth as found in scripture. Tomorrow we turn, to My answer to the problem.

Spreading the True Gospel - Part 1

Lord: As the crisis in the nations of the world continues, it is of vital importance that My Church remains focused and steadfast. The first thing for you to take hold of is this. The financial and political crisis in the world today is a direct result of a turning away from Me, and a complete acceptance of the gods of worldly power and wealth!

My church too, is self-absorbed, and beguiled by the gods of this present darkness. The organisation has become the cause, the purpose, and the end of the churches' existence. Buildings, rituals, priestly structures and statements of faith, have blinded the eyes of the church, and become the gospel they blindly follow. While many still pay lip service to the importance of Holy Scripture, few really believe the words to be from Me, and nor can they say why it is important. Many faithful servants of the church have abandoned the front line, because they have not been given the equipment they need to advance. They are like soldiers without armour or weapons.

Now, today, is the time to change all this! I am calling you My people, to take up both the armour and the weapons I have bestowed on My church since the onset of time. Clothe yourselves with all the equipment I have provided, and do as the first Christians were commanded to do, "Take the Gospel in to all the world, and make disciples of all the nations." So, what is it that the church has abandoned that it needs to take up again?

First of all, I am calling my people back to the time of their conversion. The first moment they realised that they were sinners and needed someone to get them out of the pit of sin they were in. The recognition that you are sinners is a vital first step. It is however very easy for those who have recognised that truth, to forget, or not realise, that for many, there is no recognition of there being such a thing as sin. Modern, western teaching in schools and colleges, is so straight-jacketed by godless dogma and political correctness, that it is too scared to teach about sin and righteousness. The Biblical concept of original sin is washed away by the belief that man is no more than a chance bundle of chemicals and electrical pulses, and if that were the case, free-will, morality, righteousness and sin are no more than figments of a chemical reactions' imagination. So, in coming back to first principles, the moment you first realised you needed salvation, you must look at sin, and recognise what it is you need salvation from, and where it came from. The secular world cannot answer that question, but I have already supplied the answer for you in the book of Genesis in the Bible. Right there, in the first three chapters, I have spelt out, and painted a vibrant picture of what took place when I created the Heavens and the Earth.

Come back to, and hold on to, the first simple truth in this journey, that I am the Creator God, and in the beginning, I created everything out of nothing. When you look through the most powerful telescopes man has ever produced, and look into the deep reaches of space, everything that you can see, and all that is beyond your sight, I created. When you look into the most powerful electron microscope, and observe the mechanisms that inhabit the molecules of the building blocks of life, everything you observe, I created. There is nothing you can see that I did not make. On those first days of creation, everything that I made was perfect. It was all exactly as I designed it and it was good, very good! This My children, is the truth. I do not lie! What I am telling you today is exactly the same as I have told My children down all the years of history, since the first man, Adam, walked on the Earth. I have recorded this truth in My account of creation in your Bible. When it comes to foundations of faith, this is the beginning. When it comes to a choice between believing about origins, are you going to believe the one who was there, and brought all things into being, or those who don't want to face Me, who were not there, and who have made up all sorts of fanciful myths, to excuse their unbelief? Myths that are having each day to be modified by yet more myths, as they realise, but don't admit, that their wild stories just don't add up or fit the observable facts. My word however, has both stood the test of time and explains everything from a first-hand observer's vantage point.

Now, the reason I am labouring this is because we are talking foundations to the true Gospel here, as you will see in the days to come, as I progress with the story.

Having established that I am the Creator, and that Genesis is My account of how I created the world, the next truth to hold on to, is that I told the truth when I recorded that all things were created in six days. No, I did not use eons of time or any other unit. From the beginning of creation to the finish of creation took six days! The reason I am emphasising this fact is to show you that Man was created right at the beginning. He is not an afterthought; he is the purpose of creation! He does not come at the end of eons of death and destruction, and countless life death cycles. I placed man in the garden I created on the sixth day of creation, when all was still perfect. Indeed man was a part of the perfect creation I made. When I saw all that I had made on the last day, I could see that all of it, man included, was very good! I still remember that day as if it was this morning, and I well remember the delight on the man's face, as he beheld everything I had made for him.

The garden I made for him was a joy to make, and a wonder to behold. In a way you could call it a nursery, for the man and the woman I made, were created adult. They had no human parents to learn from. I had to be their teacher. The garden was a wonderful place for them to explore and to learn from. Every day I walked with them and talked with them. Everything they asked and every question they had, I answered them. I brought every living thing before the man to see, to recognise and to name. Even as I taught the man and the woman all about the creation, creation itself was flourishing. The plants were bearing seed and bringing new plants into being, the animals were maturing and giving birth after their own kind, the birds filled the air, and the sea teemed with life. The harmony within the world was a wonder to see, and was like a symphony in my ears. The Garden of Eden was paradise; it was perfect.

The greatest risk I took in defining the creation as perfect, was that in so doing I created the possibility of the imperfect. By defining something as good, creates the possibility of bad! When I told the man that he had the freedom to eat from any tree in the garden except the tree in the centre, it was to begin the process that you now call evil.

Evil originated with an act of disobedience. It was a rebellion against Me, choosing to listen to a serpent and believe his word rather than mine. In making that decision, man brought disharmony and dis-ease into the perfection I had made, and paradise was shattered. From that moment on, all creation began to creak and groan, to age and decay. The perfection was lost, and man's relationship with Me, of love and trust, was tried to the limit. Sin came between the perfection that is Me, and the evil that is man.

The parallels between the situation in the Garden of Eden, and the situation in the world today are numerous. For a start they are both caused by not believing Me and disobeying My simple rules for life. That is the reason why mankind needs a Saviour. That is why something was  and is needed, to restore the balance and harmony of the original creation, and man's once perfect relationship with me. This is why I want my church to return to, and understand the origins of sin, so that you can come to the realisation that, you need a Saviour! In the coming week I want to show you afresh, the steps needed to restore the church, to a vital, vibrant, vehicle, to take the Gospel of salvation into all the world.

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!"

The Sword of the Spirit.

The Sword of the Spirit.

No self respecting soldier will venture on to the battle field without his sword. In modern warfare the sword has been replaced by the gun. However, the gun does not directly equate with the sword, as a gun can be, and usually is, fired from a distance, thus eliminating the need for the soldier to be involved in the battle. A sword, by its very nature, demands that the carrier is directly involved in the battle. To wield a sword requires strength, skill, and tactics!

The sword of the Spirit is the Word of God. In order to wield this mighty weapon, the first requirement is STRENGTH. In order to use the word of God you must first stand in the power of my might. You must realise that human strength is not sufficient on its own to even lift the sword of the Spirit! To receive the power of my might you must first stand with Me. Standing with me is to acknowledge that you are nothing before me and have no inherent right to even come near me. However, by accepting the Lord Jesus, and the sacrifice he has made for you on the cross, he has covered you with his own righteousness. He is my Son and because of his selfless love for you, has made it not only possible for you to stand by me but a reality. Stand by me and allow me to cover your hands and add my strength as you lift the sword high.

Lifting the sword high is accepting the Bible is the unchanging absolute truth of God. Yes, the Bible is my words, recorded for your benefit. Accepting it as truth, from the book of Genesis to the book of the Revelation, is the sharp cutting edge of the blade. If you do not accept or believe its truth and reliability, you are trying to wield a weapon with no cutting edge, and no more clout than a piece of old hose pipe!

The second requirement is SKILL. The only way to use the Sword of the Spirit with skill, is to become one with your weapon. Any swordsman will tell you that the sword must become an extension of yourself, you must practice, until it requires only a thought to place that blade exactly where you want it to be, and apply exactly the right amount of force. To do that you must know your weapon!

There is no other way to know the Sword of the Spirit than to soak yourself in the Word of God, from the first chapter of Genesis to the last chapter of Revelation. Let the Word become so read by you, that it is there within you, even when the printed word is not in front of you. Every verse of the Bible can be used against the Evil One, and every word can and has been used for evangelism. These words, however, are of no use to you if you do not 100% believe they are God's Word and therefore true! I do not lie; I am truth, Stand on My word and you will find it is like a firm rock in a wild sea. Stray from it and you will soon find you are swept far from the truth!

The third requirement is TACTICS! As we have seen, in order to use the blade successfully you must know it well and know its strengths. Just as the tip of the blade is good for piercing, the edge is good for slicing and the flat of the blade is good for knocking aside, so each part of My word has different strengths for different situations. for example:

For example, the book of Genesis, which is so often dismissed as myth or is regarded as fantasy, is the very foundation of the salvation Jesus accomplished on the Cross. These passages, which are pushed aside by so many and are thought to have been proved wrong by science, are true as stated. If used properly they reveal not only how and when Creation came into being, but also give the foundation for the work of Jesus' victory over the sin of man.

The Gospels, Matthew Mark, Luke and John, show without any doubt the amazing love of Jesus, who left the glory of Heaven for the love of you! Yes, every one of you! They show every man woman and child that they are loved. Not by fickle man but by God himself!

For those who have lost their hope for the future, the book of Revelation looks forward to the New Heaven and the New Earth.

As you become one with My word, learn the lesson of each passage and which ones are best to use in each situation. Sometimes the tip of the sword is needed to pierce the skin of unbelief. Sometimes the edge is needed cut out the cancer of sin or to cut through the chains that bind. Sometimes the flat of the blade is needed to carve a pathway through the masses to expose the gateway to My Truth.

The Sword of the Spirit is no use to you in someone else's hands. The sword is a one-to-one weapon that requires your total commitment, strength, skill and tactics. You do not fight alone with the sword of the Spirit. I am with you. Stay close and let me help you. Feel my hands over yours as you grasp the hilt. I Love You.

The Child Shall Overcome

Me: Good morning Lord. Thank you for waking me this morning and for this new day. Thank you for allowing me to walk with you and thank you for feeding my soul with thoughts from you. I love you Lord.

Lord: Good morning son, welcome to the club this morning. Yes, I am able to talk to you and to give you visions at any time of the day or the night, as long as you start the day with me and stay close at all times.

Look Martin, What do you see?

Me: Lord, I see men, big and strong, with muscles like bronze, mighty warriors against whom, none seem able to stand. They wield a sword of hate and have sharp knives of injustice. Around their knuckles they have bound spikes of oppression. On their feet are great boots that trample on the poor and the fallen. Out of their mouths they curse the Lord's people, and their eyes blaze with the red light of lust, greed and anger.

Lord: What you see are those who have determined to destroy the Church and strike a blow against Me. Do not be deceived by their looks; they are not what they seem! To the world, deceived and beguiled by Satan, that is what they look like, unassailable, immovable and capable of great destruction. Look again son. What do you see?

Me: I see one of these men, naked and bound with chains of iron to a huge iron frame. Every muscle in his body is straining against the chains but all he is doing is causing himself injury and pain. On his face is a look of humiliation and anguish, but the fire in his eyes is not so bright as before. Before him are a group of children, in their early teens. They are preparing food. It looks like soup, and bread! The smell of the soup is rising and curling around the mans nose, causing him to twitch and his stomach muscles to spasm. The children are laughing and singing. They are not laughing at the man, but through happiness, as children do!

Lord: What you see is what I am doing in your day. The young and inexperienced, the weak and those overlooked by the strong, have overcome the strong man, and have bound him with chains. The chains they have used are wrought with the truth, making them unbreakable. The iron frame is firmly fixed on the rock which is Jesus and is immovable The soup and bread they are preparing for him is the Word of God, the gospel of Jesus. This man is heaving and twitching as the smell reaches him, because all his life he has been starved of the truth and the good news. He has been fed with only hate and lies. Have you noticed, he  is now alone? I have separated him from his companions. They too are being held in isolation from each other. This is so that they are not distracted or deafened by each other. Together they perpetuate the lie, but alone the lie begins to crumble. What more do you see?

Me: The soup is ready. The children have climbed on to steps and are feeding him with spoons. After initial hesitation he is eager to consume as much as possible. Ah! I can hear his mind, his thoughts! He is thinking, "If I can eat as much as possible I can regain my strength and escape this bondage." The more he eats the less red his eyes are. The less his muscles strain against the chains. All the time he has been fed, the children are singing. As they climb down the steps to refill the bowl, the man relaxes and sags against his chains. Sweat is pouring from him, and tears are running like a river down his face.

Lord: As the lie begins to crumble, the man is open to the good news about Jesus and feeds like a starving man. At first he thinks he can find the flaw in what he hears. After all, nothing he has yet heard has ever stood the test of time! But slowly, like a dripping tap, constant and persistent, the truth of Jesus seeps through the crumbling defences. The fire of conviction and anger are extinguished and replaced by the blue of the sky that reflects the glory of God. As he relaxes, the chains become less bondage and more support. Trying to keep hold of the lie, even when it doesn't fit the facts or ring true in his heart, has taken its toll. The result is a bath of sweat which washes all the pain and grime of sin and shame to the surface, and the tears which fall from his eyes are first of shame, and then change to repentance and relief. Yes, relief, as the truth begins to penetrate his last defences. Now son, what do you see?

Me: I see a broken man, hanging naked and limp, all the toughness of his body relaxed as though in death! His eyes are closed and his head hangs down. Then, as I looked, I saw one single drop of blood fall on his head, and even as I looked, it spread until he was covered with scarlet! Then, starting at the top of his head and working its way down to the soles  of his feet, the blood changed into a cleansing water, which washed him from head to foot, as clean as any shower or soap could clean. As I looked again, I saw that the chains had gone, as had the iron frame, and he was clothed in a robe, pure and white as snow.

Lord: You see well, for it is the blood of Jesus alone, that is truly able to wash away your sins and cleanse you from all unrighteousness. It is only when you are clothed in the robe of righteousness, that is Jesus, that you are able to come into my presence.

Now I will tell you what the vision means! The man you saw was just one of many, who oppose the truth. They are scientists, politicians, businessmen, teachers, and men and women from every profession and walk of life. Their sole aim, because they have been deceived by Satan, is to rid the world of the truth found in Jesus, and to try and write Me out of the text books! Because so many Christians have been asleep, or not firm enough in their faith, these men and women have made their position so strong, that even some of the elect are deceived by them!

However, in your day, I have come up against them and confronted them. In the scientific world, I am confounding their theories, and tying them in knots, which don't make sense to them! In the political world, I am toppling governments and leaders, not by bringing them up against a stronger foe, but by raising up the weak and the helpless. It is I who have caused the financial markets to crumble and fall. For too long mankind throughout the world, has been putting all his trust in wealth, and so-called economics. From now on, only those who put their trust in me will prosper.

In all these different fields, it is the young and inexperienced who will prevail. It won't be the academics who present the truth to the scientists, but those who know and love me, those whom I choose to reveal the mysteries of the universe. It will not be politicians who build a better world, it will be visionaries, people with a heart of love and a will of steel. It will not be financiers and bankers that create wealth, but those who hold the secret of love, one for another.

Many things that you have all grown used to and consider the basics of life, will pass away and you will be forced to think again about priorities! But those who stay close to me, those who place their trust in me, those who allow me to wash them in the blood of Jesus, they will endure and will inherit eternal life.

Do not despise the weak, nor wander from the truth. Do not place your hope on men or nations. Turn to me in repentance and trust, and I will show myself to you as the Lord who saves, the Lord your strength and the Lord your provider. I love you.

Revelation today!

Me: Good morning Lord. Thank you for waking me this morning and for this new day. Thank you for our time together and for spending the time talking with me. I love you Lord.

Lord: Good morning son. Welcome to the club this morning and for joining us as we walked. We love your company in the mornings and are always ready to talk with you, because we love you too.

As you come to Revelation in your cycle of Bible readings, there is much I want to show you. You see, John practiced hearing my voice much as you do! And I revealed many things to him. There were many more revelations I gave him, but some were not adopted by the early church as scripture. If they had been, the church would not have strayed as far as it did in the first few centuries.

When I spoke to John and showed him many things, both in word and vision, I was continuing the teaching I gave all the disciples when I walked with them in Galilee. If I had spoken then, about the things I later showed him, even John himself would not have understood. For none of the disciples really understood, that I literally meant them, to take the gospel into all the world! For them, "all the world" meant the land in which they lived, the land of their birth, the familiar and that which they understood. None of then expected to go to Rome, Asia, Europe, India or Africa, and none of them had any concept of life away from Judaism!

The same is true today. You hear of, and read about, Christians who take the gospel out to other countries, but few Christians ever dream that that is where I am calling them! Even you, when you first embarked on training for the ministry, believed that you would come back to the St Albans area and get a parish not far from where you were born. Instead I called you to the Celtic lands of the West where I had work for you to do that only you could do.

For all my children who are called by me, listening to my voice, and being open to revelation is vital, if they are to move where I want them to move! It is only when they are in my presence, listening to me, that I can instruct them where to go and what to do. It is not the place of others to tell them. They can and should assist, but the command to go is mine to give!

Many of my children do not hear my instructions, because they are listening to, and tuned in to hear, long term instruction and revelation, when I am trying to give them the next step. Yes, if I am to be Lord of your lives I must instruct you and guide you, every step of the way! When you don't hear the next step, wait! To forge on and assume you know the way can lead to disaster and disappointment. I am the way, follow me!

Often you think I haven't given you the next step, because it doesn't seem to be a natural progression towards your long term aim. The instruction I am giving you, could well be an instruction to deal with an issue that may not seem important now, but which, could easily become a stumbling block over which you fall, in the long term..

“To the angel of the church in Ephesus write:

These are the words of him who holds the seven stars in his right hand and walks among the seven golden lampstands. I know your deeds, your hard work and your perseverance. I know that you cannot tolerate wicked people, that you have tested those who claim to be apostles but are not, and have found them false. You have persevered and have endured hardships for my name, and have not grown weary.

Yet I hold this against you: You have forsaken the love you had at first. Consider how far you have fallen! Repent and do the things you did at first. If you do not repent, I will come to you and remove your lampstand from its place. Rev 2:1-5

The Church in Ephesus was righteous and hard working for me, yet there was a small thing that dampened their fire; they had lost that first love which is so important, the spontaneity, the freshness of a new relationship. the sparkle of joy as lovers meet. It was in the way of greater things and prevented them from being where I wanted them to be.

Children, be always open to what I am saying to you. One day it may be a prophecy of great moment, that will change the world. The next, it can be some little thing, that seems so insignificant as to be easily missed, but is that which will turn and change the course of history!

Watch and pray and pay attention to all the things that I say to you. I never say things to catch you out and I never threaten! Even when I prophesied the downfall of nations, I was not threatening them, just telling them what the consequences would be of their actions, or lack of them. The same is true today, even in the "big" matters, like the fall of the world's economies. These things I have caused, in order to show the nations that they need me. The provision is, and always was there, that, "If they turn to me, and away from their wickedness in repentance. I will turn and heal the land." What I do for the individual, I will also do for the nation.

There is still a little time left, for men and women to pray, and turn the situation round. Repent, and pray my Kingdom and my reign into every nation under heaven.

Stand firmly against the small things that are creeping into the laws of the land, which are not of me, and are against the commandments I have given for all men to follow. Hate the sin, and love the sinner! There is no compromise with sin or Satan. Purge the sin from your life, and from the nation, that I may forgive and heal your land.

My heart longs for all men and women to come to me, of their own freewill, and to be healed and set free from all the lies and chains of Satan. I love you all. Come to me!

Trust.

Me: Good morning Lord. Thank you for waking me this morning and for this new day. Thank you for your love which passes all understanding and for being my God. I love you.

Lord: Good morning son, welcome to the club this morning and thank you for your company on our walk. We love you too.

I want to talk to you about Trust today.

Trust is a very precious commodity that has become quite scarce in many parts of human society. A baby learns very quickly to trust its mother to provide all its needs. This sort of trust is founded partly on an inbuilt chemistry I put there, and partly experience. Because mother, or in some cases father, or another regular person, always provides the child's food and milk, and keeps them feeling comfortable, a trust is built up, so that as experience expands so the trust increases. In adolescence, trusting others becomes more a matter of experience and sometimes shared experiences. In adult life, as man becomes more often let down and hurt by people, trust has to be earned, and depending on the degree of hurt, that can sometimes take a long time,

In society, trust is most often based on performance. If a politician can deliver the goods, people trust him or her. The problems arise when politicians have to do unpleasant things like raising taxes, or cutting services, then the trust relationship begins to break down. Trust based on specific performance is like chasing a cloud; just as you think you have caught it, it melts away.

The only sort of trust that really lasts and works, is a trust based on a love relationship. If you add love to the other elements in trust it adds a backbone and makes it stronger. This is why couples who stay in love, often seem to trust their partners more deeply than others.

The trust that man has in me, is based mainly on love. It starts as a person steps out in faith and tries me, like a child accepting nourishment from mother, and that develops into a love relationship, partly based on experience, but rooted in love. The trust begins to grow rapidly as knowledge gained from both study and experience grows!

It is not enough for me to tell you that you can trust me! The words need to be backed by experience or faith! Experience is gained by listening to, and believing, the promises I have made, and finding them to be true. The promises become like stepping stones leading from one to another and on. As each stepping stone is tried, and found to be firm and trustworthy, both faith and trust grow. Sometimes, in order to see if a promise stands up to the test, you have to put all your weight on it, like standing on a stepping stone, rather than skipping from one to the other. All my promises to you are trustworthy and sure. I will never let you down.

The other great element in trust is being trusted. When someone you love trusts you, you do all you can to be fully trustworthy and, as it were, repay that trust. Not only am I trustworthy, but I also trust you! Yes, I have placed into the hands of my church the most precious gift I have ever given, the good news of my Son Jesus. This Gospel has the power to change the world, by changing lives. It can begin to do that today, and I have entrusted it to you! I would not have entrusted it to you if I didn't know that you are well able to complete the task of delivering it. Yes, I know you can do it, that is why I am trusting you with it. Allow my trust in you to grow, as I have allowed your trust in me to grow. The reason I trust you is my love for you. And the trust you have in me is best founded in your love for me. Remember, love is the greatest power at work in the world today. There is no power greater than love. Love one another as I have loved you.

To You, Whom I Have Called!

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

Lord: Good morning son. Welcome to the club this morning and thank you for joining us as we walked. We love you too.

To those whom I am calling to be Shepherds of my people, I would say this: Take the charge I have given you very seriously, for my sheep are everything to me, and I want them all to be safe. Treat them with love and respect, and teach them all that I am teaching you. Do not let your teaching and preaching become cluttered with rules and regulations that do not come from me. As you trust in me, show them how to trust. As you listen to my voice, teach them how to hear me. As you bless them, teach them how to bless others. Avoid divisions, and work for harmony and peace, that the world may see one church, and be drawn to me through you.

To those I am calling to be Evangelists and Preachers, I would say this: Go to those I send you, and share with them the Gospel of my Son Jesus, as it has been faithfully passed down from generation to generation. The Gospel is about people, and sin, and how I have dealt with sin. It is about repentance and salvation. It is a gospel of joy, for it brings salvation, liberation and freedom. It is the greatest message anyone has ever been charged to deliver. I have placed a very great value on its safe delivery. Therefore see to it, that those to whom I send you receive the good news. You are not responsible for what they do with the good news when you deliver it, only for the delivery. My Holy Spirit is already at work, in the hearts of those to whom I send you, preparing their hearts, to receive the message you deliver. Therefore speak with boldness, in Love. Do not dilute the words I give you, but deliver them as I give them to you. I know what I am doing!

To those I am calling to be Prophets, I would say this: Your charge is a very difficult one, for the prophet is rarely welcome in his own home town. Cover yourself in prayer and seek me at all times. As I give you the words, deliver them as I command you. If it is a word of encouragement be sure to follow it through with instruction, and guide people to one of my pastors, who can nourish them and lead them on. If it is a word of rebuke, deliver it in love not anger. Be bold and say only what I give you, no more and no less. Let the Holy Spirit do the rest.

To those I am calling to Intercession, I would say this: Yours is a powerful ministry that few see, but everyone feels. Prayer is one of the most powerful forces in the universe. When you pray, you tap into the creative power that flows from my throne. Revelation calls it the river of life. Through prayer, lives can be transformed, bodies can be healed, souls can be saved, and situations can be reclaimed and redeemed. Every servant of mine working in the front line of the gospel, every pastor and shepherd in charge of my flocks, every prophet speaking my words before men, needs the full-time backing of my intercessors. You are charged with supporting them in you prayers and being ready, day or night, to cover them in prayer. Many times in the front line they experience dangers, both spiritual and physical. That is when I wake up my intercessors, and move them to pray. To them you are like a life-line, enabling them to draw from the river of life the extra strength they need. I would that you keep a journal of those times I call you to intercede. Note the time and date, and the circumstances. This will be an encouragement to you, and to them, as I show you how, when they needed extra help, you acted in prayer!

Children, whatever the ministry to which I have called you, and there are many more I haven't mentioned today, be steadfast and joyful. Your part in the great plan of mine, is of equal importance to me, even when it is a quiet, often hidden task, that few know about. Remember, every army on the move has a supply train, people who order supplies, who cook the food, who man the radio, who service the vehicles, who push paper around an office. They may seem unimportant to those on the front line, but they are essential to the outcome of the battle. So it is with my army, and the battle against sin, the world, and the devil. Every ministry and calling is important, therefore do all things with vigour and joy.

Let the light of my relationship with you, and you with me, shine out from you, and be an inspiration to all those around you. Pray together, sing together and work together. Build my Kingdom on Earth, as I show you how. I love you!

Listen, What do you Hear?

Me: Good morning Lord. Thank you for waking me this morning and for this new day. Thank you for allowing me to join you as you walked this morning and for sharing your word with me. I love you Lord.

Lord: Good morning son, thank you for your company this morning. It's good to have you walk with me. I love these times in the morning, as I know you do.

Listen to the rain and the sound of the wind. What do you hear?

Me: Lord I hear the sound like a great cry of victory that wafts on the wind. The rain sounds like the tramping of many people. and then it stops!

Lord: What you hear is the result of the victory I have won over the Evil One. The redeemed cry out with a mighty cry of victory, a shout of praise as the battle is won. On the sound of the rain, you hear the feet of those who have been held captive, as they come before the cross of Jesus and lay their burdens there. As they kneel before the cross all is silent, as the wave of love flows over them.

The battle for hearts is now in full swing. For many years the enemy has confused and blinded even the most scholarly of men and women. But the day is approaching, when even those who most firmly believe the Evil One's lies, will see the light of truth. In that day I will command all my servants to speak my words, and they will prophecy all at once, and the eyes of the blind will be opened and the ears of the deaf unstopped. On that day the lies of the enemy will evaporate like a morning mist and be no more.

Seek my face and learn the truth from me. Was it not I who formed all things out of nothing, by speaking the Word? I also speak the Word in this day, and sustain all that I have made. The Evil One does not create truth, or even acknowledge the truth. His lies cause only destruction and chaos, destroying lives and spreading like the fall of a row of dominos.

The ministry of my Church is to help each one of the fallen to stand again. Do not be distracted my children, by the desire to build, beautify or maintain, the buildings and structures of the 'church'. Concentrate only upon the task I have set before you, the spreading of the Good News of Jesus, and the care of the poor and the oppressed.

Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in Heaven. Matthew 5:16

Stand Up and be Counted!

Lord: Where are the shepherds of my people, and why have they not spoken up, in defence of the oppressed and the poor? Where are my evangelists and preachers, and why is my message being watered down and the truth diluted? Why are you silent, when those who speak against me, and who do not have the truth, rant and rage against my Church? Why do you stand by, and let others steal the gifts I have given my Church?

When the evil spirits cried out against my Son Jesus, he rebuked them, and commanded them to be silent. When he crossed the path of those possessed of evil spirits; he cast them out, and delivered those possessed and oppressed. When the sick and wounded came to him, he healed them, and gave them hope. In the early days of my Church, the people came to listen to the word being faithfully preached, and when the authorities tried to stop them, the apostles said, "You cannot silence us, because God has told us to speak. We must obey Him, not you!" Now it seems that my Church, which carries my special message for the world, is being silenced, out of fear of those who are offended by me!

I did not entrust the good news of Jesus to be stored away, out of sight and mind, and kept for another generation, or more opportune time! I entrusted it to you, to share freely today! I gave you the gifts of My Holy Spirit to enable and empower you to do it well. It now seems that you are being disarmed at the first opposition!

Stand up, men and women of God. Clothe yourselves in the armour I have provided. Take hold of the Sword of the Spirit, and cut your way through the opposition of Satan. Stand firm, and speak of me, to all who will listen. Satan is a defeated foe. I have triumphed over him, and he is now under My feet. Destroy his works; set the captives free. Proclaim the day of the Lord's salvation, and gather in the lost, the lonely, and the oppressed, that they may find true liberty in me.

Children, I have given you the liberty of free speech, in order to proclaim the gospel. No man, no government, no judge and no court, has the right, or the ability to stand against me and take that away from you. Stand by My command to take the good news into ALL the world. Take it to ALL people everywhere. Let no one stand in your way. When your Church leaders fail to stand by the gospel of truth, I will withdraw my Spirit from them. Do not follow them, but stay close to me. Fix your eyes upon Jesus, my beloved Son.

Stand up, and be counted for me, as I muster my army, to march forward and claim the land back.

Be at One

Lord: To all my people who are called by my name, I say this: Be strong in the faith of Jesus, who, for the love of all sinners, suffered and died on the cross. It is no small thing to suffer as he suffered, or to die as he died. He was not dying for his own sin, for He had no sin! He did not suffer for himself, but for you, in order that you might be set free from the bondage of sin and death. What He did for you on the cross, was not something that you can idly reply to with, "Oh that's nice!" He saved your life, and the first response after surprise, is surely gratitude!

Saving a life, gives the Saviour a right to ask for something small in return. Not a reward, more a request. He has given His life up, so that you can live, so His request is that you accept what He has done for you and turn away from your old life of sin, and live a life of righteousness. If you are really glad that Jesus has saved you, you will surely want to tell others, and bring them to Jesus, for Him to save them also.

Now, salvation doesn't stop there! Salvation is a continuous process. It starts with an encounter with Jesus, and continues with a walk that leads you along a pathway, away from your old life, and into a new life of light, love, and righteousness. That pathway is anything but dull! It is the most fulfilling and satisfying walk you can ever imagine. It is not always easy, and often involves danger and suffering, but all the danger and suffering are nothing, compared to the price Jesus, my beloved son, paid for you. It is nothing, compared to the glory that is now before you. Even though you may be chained and in prison, the good news that is on your lips, is not chained. When it is spoken out, it is carried in the hearts of those who hear it! Oh, it may seem to have been rejected at first! But know this: My word does not return to me, without first accomplishing all that I purpose for it.

My children, do not quarrel, or play with words that achieve nothing but division. My gospel is one. It is at unity with me. Let it also be at unity with you. Your love for the Lord Jesus is what unites you. It is your passport to Heaven. Petty arguments and divisions do nothing to further the Kingdom, and only bring dishonour to my name. Lay aside all that divides. However dearly you hold on to it, if it does not further my Kingdom, it is not important! Be at one with all the brethren. Bless each other in my name.

Teach the truth as I handed it to you. Do not dilute, or change my word one iota. Those who are seeking the truth with all their heart, will recognise it when it is given to them. If you dilute or change my word in any way, those who are seeking the truth, will not recognise your word as truth, and will be prevented from entering into life. You will have to account for their souls before me.

Love one another as I have loved you, and love those to whom I send you. Bless them with your story, bless them with your love, bless them with the gospel of Jesus. Be like Jesus to them! Share, teach, heal and deliver, in my name, just as I have commanded you. But do all this as you stay close to me. You cannot do it on your own! Walk with Me, talk with Me, and stay with me. Let Me be your strength and your rock. I am with you always, because I love you!

The Lord Your Righteousness

Me: Good morning Lord. Thank you for waking me this morning and for this new day. Thank you for the stars that you have placed into the heavens to give light to the earth in the hours of night. Thank you for the rain that waters the earth and the sun that gives light and warmth. I love you Lord, with all my heart.

Lord: Good morning son, thank you for joining us this morning and for your company on our morning walk. we love you too with all our heart.

I want to address the young people today. For the pressure is always on them when they leave school, to go into a profession that will bring them wealth, and often that is what they think they want. In your day I have begun to rock the institutions, that the world thinks are so important for a society to be strong. I have shaken government. I have shaken banking. I have shaken the stock exchange. I have brought an AAA grade nation to the brink of bankruptcy, and I have raised up nations that others fear. I have done all this because man has abandoned the way of righteousness and truth. No longer putting his trust in me, he has placed his trust in so called 'great nations,' and has made treaties that do not honour me.

I am snatching the role of policy maker and decision maker from the hands of those who dishonour me, and am going to give it to younger men, who have set their paths on the way of righteousness and truth. I am raising up men and women with wisdom, learning and understanding beyond their years. They have these gifts not because they are, clever in the eyes of the world, but because I have poured out my Spirit upon them.

So I say to you, remember your Creator in the days of your youth. Seek me with your whole heart while you are young, that I may bestow upon you the gifts that will enable you to build the Kingdom of Heaven, both here on the Earth and above.

Remember, I love righteousness and justice, and I hate injustice and evil. I see all things and no deed, good or evil, goes unnoticed by me. I raise up those I choose and I break down those who offend me. If you walk in My ways and hold on to My word, I will surely bless you and prosper the path you tread. I will entrust to you the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven which is the gospel of my Son Jesus.

To those of more mature years I say to you, remember the days of your youth, and see how I worked in your lives. Pray for those who are now in their youth who are daring to believe and follow in the path of righteousness. Bless them and encourage them. Teach them and make space for them. Commend them and promote them, as they seek as you did, to serve me with their whole heart.

To all, both young and old, I say this: Do not worry about the things that are happening in society. These things have to be, before I can rebuild, not as things were, but as I have planned them. Money, wealth and position, will not be at the heart of my kingdom, for I am the Lord who provides all you need, and there will be no need to store up and accumulate. I will provide for you on the day of your need. Hold on to me and keep walking in my ways for I am the Lord your Righteousness. Commit your bodies to me for I am the Lord your healer. You are my children, and I love you.

I will never leave you

Me: Good morning Lord. Thank you for waking me this morning, and for this new day. Thank you for the many blessings you have showered on me and for the love you have shown me. I love you Lord.

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

I am with you always, even to the end of time. I never abandon what I have started, neither do I leave those whom I have made to fend for themselves. Never think that God has abandoned you, for I am always close at hand and hear the cry of all my people, even of those those who are deaf to me. You never need to be afraid or hesitant to tell people I love them, or to assure them that I hear every prayer they utter. Let it be known in all the world that I am interested in the lives of everyone, yes everyone.

I am seeking even those who society has rejected. I work in the slums of the world. I work in the prisons and hospitals. I am in all the dark places and even in the deepest pit. I stand alongside those who do not yet know me, and I am with those who think they have no need of me, because I love them all with an everlasting and overwhelming love.

I am also with those who are accepted by society and those who are in positions of power and authority. I am with those who abuse power. I don't approve of what they do, and often I stay their hand. I wait for the day they break and turn to me.

When I bring financial collapse on nations, companies and individuals, it is not because I have abandoned them, but because I love them and want them to place their trust in me and not in their wealth or their goods. If my people whom I love will repent of their sins and turn to me, I will turn to them and lift them up and heal their land.

Pray to me for your land. Pray for the politicians I have given you. Pray for the gift of wisdom and understanding for those in authority. Pray for my people that they will rise up, and proclaim boldly the message I have entrusted to them. Pray for for those who oppose me and think they can turn men from me, that they will be humbled, and themselves cry out to me for help.

Pray for those in leadership in the established churches and organised religions. Pray that they will turn to me and preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and turn their backs on the other so-called gospels the churches have imposed upon their people. The only building I want as a temple is the human soul, and the only Gospel I want preached is Jesus Christ risen from the dead for the forgiveness of all sin.

As the movement of the Holy Spirit moves across this land and indeed the whole world, the only word that will have any effect on people's lives is 'Jesus'. It is in the name of Jesus that the word is preached. It is in the name of Jesus that men and women are healed. It is in the name of Jesus that I forgive sins, and it is in the name of Jesus that I will draw all men into the Kingdom of Heaven. No other name will work. No other gospel is valid. Jesus is my Son whom I love. Listen to him.

Action

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

Lord: Good morning son. Your welcome. As you know, I love walking with you in the mornings. We love you very much.

I was with you in your broken shoe this morning. It was a parable. Read again Ephesians 6:10 -17 especially verse 15.

Put on the full armour of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full armour of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.

I spoke yesterday about HRA. The last being "Action", and it is this I want to focus on today.

Action
There is a great deal of difference between rushing in and doing what you think, or even know, I want you to be doing, and being ready! Being ready for action is to be like a well trained soldier, who knows his equipment and weapons, and, more importantly, knows how to use them. I want my front-line solders in the cause of the gospel, to be well equipped and well trained and ready for action. Just as you received training, through those years spent working alongside Dawson in "The Group", so I want my new and young soldiers to have the opportunity of being alongside others in the Church, who are experienced and wise in the my ways.

Of course I shall also give them my own form of training, and others will watch in both wonder and horror, as they rush into situations that the more cautious would not dream of engaging!  But the important thing to learn is that I am the supplier of the Spiritual Gifts, which is the equipment, and I also wrote the manual and determine the terms of engagement. So the most important rule is to look to me for instruction each day in prayer, and to remain in contact throughout the day and listen all the time for my word of instruction. The Gospel stands on its own and doesn't need defending, only proclaiming. My command to the Church is to proclaim the Gospel wherever you go. I want you to do it with boldness and clarity. Many of the places you go to will require every piece of the armour I provide to dress well, and for you to be ready with my word and my gifts to do the work and fulfil the mission I send you on. I love you.

Come unto Me

2010
Saturday, 30 January
04:49:31

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Now son, to today. The message is simple:

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

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

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

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

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