Flood of the Holy Spirit

Me: Thank you Lord that the responses from 24th are still so positive, and that there are signs of great things happening. Please Lord, continue the work you have begun and take the glory, for you alone are worthy to be praised. Lord please spread this revival like a bush fire all over the country. Let it sweep across the generations, the denominations, across cultural and class divides. Let Jesus rule in all our hearts. I love you Lord.

Lord: Yes son, fires are alight all over the West Country, and even now I am fanning the flames with the wind of My Holy Spirit. It will not be long before the flames are sweeping through county after county.

I am, even now, raising up an army to move forward into the areas where the ashes of cleansing have settled, to nurture and water, and in some cases, to replant the new life that is springing up all over the land. I am also causing the wind of My Spirit to blow like a gale through the media. Oh, how the corruption within that industry grieves me. However, to coincide with My revival work I am also putting a new spirit and a new heart into the BBC, into the independent media, and into the Murdoch establishments. A new river is flowing, that has the power to reach into the areas that at present lie hidden from sight. The power of this river will be that of a flood, but is will cause no alarm to those who have their feet planted firmly on the rock that is Jesus.

Many will be washed away in the flood that is just beginning, but do not dismiss them as lost, for the main work of My church will be rescue. It will not be rescue of the corruption or evil that I am cleansing, but the salvation of those who were caught up in it. Forgiveness will be the order of the day, even forgiveness for politicians, who, without my help can only flounder in a river that is out of their depth.

This cleansing is My work; I need no help from man. Where I want my church involved is hauling the drowning out of the river. Only those who stand firmly on the rock can help those who are drowning. Those who I call to jump into the flood to save others, must be joined by a life-line to those who are standing on the rock. The life-line is the prayers of the saints, directed and bound together by the Holy Spirit.

Me: Lord, I see the fires burning and I see the rivers in flood, but the rivers do not quench the fires. How come?

Lord: The fires burn in the hearts of those whose lives are firmly planted in me. They stand upon the firm rock that is unmoved by the flood. The fires that were started on the low ground, which had no foundation in Me, have all been, or all will be, washed away. Faith without Jesus is faith without foundation. It will pass. But faith in Jesus is the unmovable rock, which will outlast the Earth. Many things will pass away in the days and months ahead, but My Word will stand forever. Those who trust in the Word, who is Jesus, will not be put to shame, but will inherit the Kingdom I have established, both here on the Earth and in Heaven. Do not trust in human institutions or in your own strength. Trust in the Lord your God, for He alone is able to save, and it is only through the name of Jesus that men are redeemed.

Pilgrimage

Me: Good Morning Lord. Thank you for waking me this morning and for this new day. Lord be with the young people of the diocese of St. Albans today as they converge on St Albans for the Annual Youth Pilgrimage. Please be with all those on a pilgrimage today for whatever reason and bring them to know you. I love you Lord.

Lord: Out of the many pilgrimages and retreats throughout the world I raise up my leaders. Today My Spirit will be working on the hearts of many young people, and you will see the results of His work before too long.

Life is a pilgrimage, which every man, woman and child, is on. The start of that pilgrimage is their birth, and the end is when they find me waiting for them at the gate of My home in Heaven. Some walk most of the journey with Me at their side, trusting Me, and following My leading. Some only find Me at as they near the end of their journey. Battle-worn and weary, they stumble into my arms as they reach the gate. Some just follow the crowd. Depending on which crowd they are following, some make it to the gate, while others are led astray and never arrive.

The ones I am raising up today, are those who are brave enough to follow the leading of My Spirit, and venture into the crowd going in the wrong direction. Their task is to bring back into My flow those who are lost. This is dangerous and distracting work and requires those who have a close relationship with me, and a love for the lost. These workers in my field require the support and prayer of My intercessors, whose prayers will be like a climber's safety rope, or a lifeline attached to a swimmer or diver. Never underestimate the power of intercessory prayer! It is the prayer of the saints, powered by My Holy Spirit, that keeps the work of the Kingdom going.

Look with your inner eyes for pictures and visions of My revival. Yes son, the revival has begun, and even now My Spirit is bringing many people to their knees for the first time. This work of My Spirit will touch princes and politicians, leaders in industry and commerce, scientists and teachers, workers and graduates, students and children, immigrants and indigenous, and people of all faith backgrounds and none. No one shall be outside the influence of My Holy Spirit as He sweeps through this land. Even the media will be caught up, and will find reporting what I am doing is more exciting and fulfilling than everything they once looked on as newsworthy. Even bishops, priests and ministers will fall under the power of the Holy Spirit in these days.

Look out for these events and rejoice. Sing from the heart your songs of praise and worship, that your voices may rise to the heavens, and fill My throne room with a pleasing and sweet smelling aroma. Join now into the praises of Heaven. Let everything that has breath Praise the Lord.

Word and Action

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Transformation

2010
Wednesday, 27 January
05:01:35 -58 days to go

Me: Good Morning Lord, Thank you for waking me this morning and for keeping us safe last night. This is the day you have made help me to rejoice in this day and use it for your praise and glory. I Love You Lord! Jesus I Love You! Holy Spirit I Love You.

Lord: Good morning son. You're welcome, It's not so hard to get you up these days!

Much of the story of the children of Israel, is about their desire as a nation to have a house for Me to dwell in their midst. David expressed his concern that he had a palace, but the Ark of the Covenant was still housed in a tent! I am the God Almighty. I placed the stars in the heavens and created all thing that exist. I do not need a building of stone and wood in which to dwell. I established David's kingdom and rule as a kingdom which will last forever. The King who sits upon David's throne, is my Son Jesus. He needs no house of bricks and mortar. He asks only for a dwelling in your hearts! When Jesus dwells in your hearts, He is there at the centre of the society, of which you are part. I spoke of my desire to transform your society (see Monday 25th January). By making my dwelling in the hearts of men and women in every walk of life, I transform their lives, and touch those around, to transform them as well. Transformation will happen, in every part of society where my people live and work.

Focus your prayers on areas of influence and power in the land. Westminster, the Law Courts, the BBC and all the nations newspapers. prisons and schools, pubs, clubs, and even the established churches. Pray for the advertising industry, playwrights, and all those involved in the film industry. The list goes on. Pray that my my dwelling place will be in the hearts of people at the centre of these institutions. My job is to effect a transformation. The task of my people is prayer, prayer and more prayer! Pray especially for those involved in industries which are not good for your wellbeing. Arms and weapons, drugs and pornography, sex and exploitation. Pray for those who seek to keep violence on the streets, and for those who steal identities. Again the list goes on and on. Each of these areas involve people who have a hole in their lives they are trying to fill. It's a hole that only Jesus can fill. Do not dismiss anyone as being outside salvation. Pray Jesus in, and watch Him transform that person, industry, area of society. I will do this, if my people will pray!

You have asked me, 'What are the marks of this revival?'. The marks of this revival are that it will be a revival of the people, wherever they are. It will be like the revivals of Wesley's time, out in the streets and fields. It will be like the revival of Luther, calling ordinary people to the truth of the Word of God. It will be like the Scottish revivals of the 1850's through to the 1950's, affecting whole communities. It will be like the Welsh revivals of the early 1900's, where the leaders were young. It will be like the revival of the 1970's, a revival of signs and wonders. It will be like the revivals in Toronto and Florida, worldwide, fast spreading, like a wildfire! It will be like every revival I have ever initiated; it will centre on Jesus and prayer.

Hold this in your hearts: My word is eternal, it never changes. I do not waste my word, for every word I speak holds life. My Word is a rock that shall not be moved, a sure foundation on which to build. Jesus is that Word, the stone the builders rejected. When you build with Jesus your building will last forever. The thoughts, philosophies, and science of men, and even theologies, shift like wet sand under a tide. blowing with the winds of change. But my Word, which brought all things into being, stands unchanged forever.

Watch, focus and pray.

Me: Praise you Lord.

Revival - Part of the Whole

2010
Sunday, 24 January
05:00:42

Lord: With your mind so much these days on revivals, past and present, be aware that there were some mighty revivals in the days of the Old Testament. Some 500 years before Jesus came, I made it possible for my servant Nehemiah, to return from exile, to start rebuilding the Holy City, Jerusalem, My Temple and the city walls. At that time the people were still far from me and had become ignorant of the Laws I had given them. They had become, to a great extent contaminated, through living with a heathen people. But in spite of this they had stayed together, paying lip service to me, and longing, as all exiles do, to return to their homes. It was I the Lord who heard the cry of their heart and made that return possible. I did this because I remembered the promise I made, to their father's Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and again to my servant David, that their generations would possess, and live in the Land I had given them, for all time.

After their return to the ruins of Jerusalem, I caused my Spirit to move amongst them, and I gave them a hunger and an openness, to my ways. Then I anointed and sent Ezra to be their teacher, and revival broke out. As in all modern revivals, this 'move of my Spirit' was centred on My Word, the Word of God. Ezra led prayers, and they sang, and they listened from dawn till noon, to the reading and exposition of the Word. All who could understand, men and women, and even children, came to hear and be enlightened. This went on every day for a whole month.

As the people heard the Word of the Lord read to them, they heard how I commanded certain practices of remembrance, to be used for all time. So they renewed their commitment to these practices. This was a great joy to them, and was all part of the renewal process. In later revivals, even those within living memory, I have renewed certain practices, such as Baptism, the Lord's Supper, and waiting on the Spirit for gifts. In each revival these practices have brought great joy. I don't want any of them to be forgotten again, but I want them always to be fresh, and in their right place, without too much emphasis on any one, to the exclusion of another. In all the Christian revivals, I want the centre to be focused on my Son Jesus. Even in the time of Ezra they were looking forward to the 'day of the Lord' - a time when I would come among them in person. I came in the person of Jesus, and am even now with you, in Jesus, through the Holy Spirit.

There are other revivals in the Bible, still to be discovered and expounded. Each one is a part of the whole picture, Like the different parts of the body, each is dependant on the others, and each adds something to the overall function of the body. At the time of the Charismatic Revival, in the 60's and 70's, many called them selves 'Full Gospel' but the real 'Full Gospel' is when all the lessons, and functions, of each revival in history, have been learnt, embraced and acted on. In the same way, a fully functional Church, does not over emphasise any one ministry or rite, but embraces them all, and recognises all the ministries and gifts, of the Holy Spirit, and uses them all, in a balance I show them.

To hasten in the next revival, hunger for souls and pray. Read my Word, in the Light Jesus gives, and focus on Him. Remain open for me to do the unexpected, and pray continually, for the young men and women I am raising up, for front line ministry. Share this.

Oh that My Church would Seek me in Prayer

2010
Friday, 15 January
04:57:32

Lord: I desire with all my heart that many others, will come to me at any time of the day. I would that you will listen to me long enough to hear my voice and feel my presence with you. I long for all my Church to be at prayer, to join together in praise and worship, and to make My Word a part of your life.

When my people pray, I act. When my people pray, I hear their prayer. I always hear  your prayers; there has never been a prayer you have uttered that I have not answered.

I have my heart focused on revival The gates of heaven are opening and the wind and flood of my Spirit are ready to be released. Shout to me and make your voice heard, pray to me in the morning; in the afternoon; and in the evening, then pray to me in the night watches. Pray that I will raise up my army of prayer warriors. Pray that I will send workers into the vineyard, to gather in the harvest. Pray that I will speak through prophets, evangelists, and teachers, that I will raise up the right leaders and warriors for the front line.

Recognise and cover the backs of those I raise up, with fervent prayer. For every soul dedicated to proclaiming the word, or ministering to those needing my salvation, will require at least three people to pray for them, all the time.

I am not calling those who proclaim, to have a ministry of prayer, their ministry is that of proclamation! Oh yes, they pray, to keep in touch with me. That way they know what to say, but the ministry of prayer and of intercession, is a separate, and very important ministry in its own right. I want my Church, to be a Church of Prayer. Individuals praying, small groups of two or three praying, and prayer gatherings where the whole body comes together, not to talk, but to pray!

Pray:

For your own salvation,

that you will hear my voice,

that would will find, and fulfil the ministry, to which I have called you.

Pray for each other,

Pray for those in ministry of any kind.

Pray for those on the fringes of the church.

Pray for the unsaved.

Pray for revival,

Pray for the Kingdom of God.

Pray for the world and your systems of Government, law, and justice.

Pray for the nations, and the leaders of nations, especially for their conversion.

As you pray for this nation pray for a Christian Revival at all levels of society.

I sent salvation into the world through Jesus only. I want this nation for Jesus. I do not bring salvation of mankind through any other religion, or any other name. I bring salvation through Jesus only. All religions do not lead to me.

Claim this country back for me, starting where you are. Raise up your voice for Jesus.

Ask your prospective parliamentary candidates where they stand with the Lord Jesus, and demand nothing less than a full commitment to Jesus from them. This countries laws and society are firmly based on biblical principals. They have served you well over the years, do not let them get thrown out in favour of a lesser standard.

Pray for a stirring of the Holy Spirit in your denomination. The time has come for all believers to work together for My kingdom. I have no time for petty divisions. I am not interested in your theological differences. I am only concerned for your souls, and for the salvation of those who have never heard, of Jesus, and are wondering around in the darkness. How can they know if you don’t tell them? How can you tell them, if you don’t know me yourself?

Psalm 63
A psalm of David. When he was in the Desert of Judah.

O God, you are my God, earnestly I seek you; my soul thirsts for you, my body longs for you, in a dry and weary land where there is no water.

I have seen you in the sanctuary and beheld your power and your glory. Because your love is better than life, my lips will glorify you.

I will praise you as long as I live, and in your name I will lift up my hands. My soul will be satisfied as with the richest of foods; with singing lips my mouth will praise you.

On my bed I remember you; I think of you through the watches of the night. Because you are my help, I sing in the shadow of your wings.

My soul clings to you; your right hand upholds me. They who seek my life will be destroyed; they will go down to the depths of the earth.

They will be given over to the sword and become food for jackals.

But the king will rejoice in God; all who swear by God's name will praise him, while the mouths of liars will be silenced.
