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 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.

Lay Your Burdens at My Cross

Me: Good Morning Lord. Thank you for waking me this morning and for this new day you have made. Thank you for always being here for me. I love you.

Lord: Good morning Martin. Thank you for joining us this morning. You know I am always here for you, no matter what time of the day or the night.

Whenever my children need me, I am there for them. I am often accused of not being there, and as a result someone dies, just like on the occasion of the death of Lazarus! Even my very good friend, who knew me so well, said, "If you had been here my brother would not have died!" I want to assure you all that no-one suffers or dies in this world alone. I am always there with them, as they go through the depths, or as they pass over. You may not be aware of me, but that is usually because you are not tuned into me. No one passes into life after life, alone. Nor can I be accused of not knowing the suffering of man. I feel every sadness, pain and anguish every man, woman and child feels. The big difference is that, though they feel it only for a time, I feel it for all eternity!

This is the reason the Cross of Jesus is so important to mankind, for it was on that hideous cross that I suffered all, yes all, the pains and sufferings of mankind in every age, from Adam to the end of time. I suffered it all, in order to take it away from you! That is why I want you all to lay your sin and all your sufferings there at the foot of the Cross, and to leave them there. They are no longer yours, but mine! I want you to walk on from the Cross, unburdened and free, so that you can enter into life. I don't offer it for tomorrow, but for today, for now. There is no reason why anyone, reading this word, should walk away from me still burdened by sin. Lay down your burden now at the foot of my Cross!

I hear your cry to me, "How Lord? How do I lay it down when I have carried it so long?" Dear one, it is simple. Confess that sin, tell me about it and don't hold back. I will not be shocked or surprised; I already know about it! But you need to confess it before me and repent. With the realisation that sin is clinging to you, comes the desire I give you, to be free of it. However hard you shake and wriggle, it clings to you and you will soon realise that you need the help of Someone Else. That is the moment of repentance, when you cry out, "Help me!" At that moment Jesus, my beloved Son, steps down from the Cross and removes the burden from you, taking it on his own shoulders. You never need to carry it again, once He has taken it away.

The Cross of Jesus has been the salvation of millions of ordinary men, women and children, from every nation, tribe and people, down the last 2,000 years. It still has the same power it had on the day of the Crucifixion, and Jesus is still there in the world with you, lifting burdens and carrying all your sins and sufferings. No one dies alone, and no one suffers alone. I am with you always, right to the close of the age!

I love you.

My Cross in all Creation

Me: Good morning Lord. Thank you for waking me this morning and for giving me this new day. Thank you for all the love you pour out upon us each day. Help me to walk in your way and serve you always, as you deserve. I love you Lord.

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

Me: As I sat in the silence, waiting upon the Lord to speak to me, I was suddenly taken back to one of my former parishes, and found myself in the Church, with a crowd of young school children. I was asking then to go around the building and count how many crosses they could find. After about twenty minutes they came back with a variety of answers, ranging from three to a hundred and three! Except for one child, who was considered to be rather slow and not very bright. He had reached four hundred and was still counting them. The teacher went through the class asking them where the crosses were and everyone pointed out the big obvious ones. Then those who were really observant pointed out that the hundred or so kneelers also had crosses stitched on to them. I had by this time circled round to the lad who was still counting, and sat beside him. First I told him he could stop counting now, as they were soon going back to school. Then I asked him to show me some of the crosses that he had discovered. Everywhere in the building he saw crosses. There were crosses where stones joined together, at the junction of every tile on the floor. Even the pews and chairs had crosses at the joints where wood met wood. The teacher raised his eyebrows and smiled, and the rest of the class laughed. But the more I thought about it, the more I thought he was on to something. The Cross of Jesus is everywhere.

Lord: Yes, son and it wasn't long after that experience, that I brought you in contact with Louie Giglio and he showed you all about Laminin and about the nebula with the cross at the centre.

As a simple exercise I want you to observe how many time the Cross features in your everyday life. Open your spiritual eyes and see the Cross, and when you see it, thank me for sending Jesus.

I have written salvation into the very fabric of the universe, into every material thing. When you doubt that I created everything, look again and see my trade mark! When someone tells you that mankind and the earth are insignificant in the cosmos, remember that in the furthest nebulas I have placed the symbol of man's salvation. When scientists dare to tell you that all things happened by chance, point to my mark on the smallest molecules. When politicians try to take you down godless pathways saying that this is the only way, lift high the Cross of Jesus, for it is only through Jesus that mankind is saved.

I did not start the world and the cosmos going, only to walk away and leave it to run itself down. I am actively involved in all that I have made, all the time. If I withdrew, or 'fell asleep,' even for one nano second, all that is would cease to be, and indeed would be as though it had never been. When I shut everything down, everything, including time and space will cease to be. I have stamped everything I have created from the simplest cell to the largest stars, with my mark. I put it there for one purpose and one purpose alone, that mankind would see the glory of their God and be glad.

So every time you see my mark in material things, or see my mark in someone's life, rejoice and be glad. Praise and worship me, for all that I do is done to help you, who I love, to come back to me so that we can all be one, as we, Father, Son and Spirit, are one.

Word for Today

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Let your Light Shine

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

Lord: Good morning Martin. Thank you for rising when I woke you in spite of your tiredness. Rest in me today and be refreshed. We love you.

I want you, my people to be a people of light. Draw close to me and receive my light, that will shine out of you and light the path for others to come to me. Light is my gift to creation. It makes life possible and enables the passage of time to be recorded. Walk in the light that I shine on you, for if you walk in the light you will not stumble and fall. Many are still walking in darkness and shadow, unable to see the ground beneath their feet, let alone the path before them.

But I have caused the people who walk in the dark to see a great light. At the moment they don't know what it means or from whence it comes, but they are drawn towards the light, and within their hearts I have planted a hunger to come to the light and live.

The light they are drawn to is the light of my people, who are filled with the glorious light of the gospel of Jesus. So shine brightly and be a beacon for me. Let your light shine into the shadows where fear lurks, and into the corners of lives which have been shut up and locked away, for when I come to set men free, I want to shine my light into every corner of their lives.

So much of the hurt of men and women today is the direct cause of a time of extreme darkness and pain, a time when they were vulnerable and alone, afraid with no-one to turn to. Shine into that dark place so that I can go in and dwell there, both now in the present, but also in the past and the future. Remember I am outside of time and my light can shine back into the past, as well as guide you into the future. In me there is no darkness at all.

In the darkness of sin there are so many shadows and so much gloom that even the way out is obscured. That is why humans shut off dark places of the soul and try not to remember them. In guiding souls to me, I do not want you to be afraid to go with the seeker back into those dark places, and shine the light of Jesus there, so that the shadows and gloom may be dispersed, and the place may be seen for what it is. You will nearly always find there is a sense of reluctance to go back, often linked with shame and guilt. These are two things that need to be faced again, dealt with, and healed. There is nothing in anyone's past that I am unaware of, and nothing that I cannot deal with and heal. I am the Lord who heals you!

Confession and repentance are signs of my Spirit working in a life, and dealing with these dark places. Be watchful and pray. Be careful not to be drawn into the trap of bruising a damaged soul, by treading on these hurts before they are free of them. Let me guide you and show you how to deal with each individual, for all my children are unique. All have walked down a different path. The past is to be forgiven completely, and their share in the kingdom of heaven is to be made known to them, that the light of hope may shine in their lives to.

Oh how I love them and how I love you. My love is bursting and longing to pour out upon them in blessing. I love you.

I call My People

Me: Good morning Lord. Thank you for waking me this morning and for this new and beautiful day. Thank you for your love and goodness and being there for me. I love you Lord.

Lord: Good morning Martin, Thank you for joining us this morning and for your company which is always welcome. We love you too.

My message to mankind never changes. It is very simple and straightforward. I love you and want to be your God, so that you can prosper and do well in the world I have made for you.

My message for my people Israel is the same as it was in the days of Isaiah the prophet. It is simple and straightforward.

This is what the LORD says to me with his strong hand upon me, warning me not to follow the way of this people:

“Do not call conspiracy everything this people calls a conspiracy; do not fear what they fear, and do not dread it.

 The LORD Almighty is the one you are to regard as holy, he is the one you are to fear, he is the one you are to dread. 

He will be a holy place; for both Israel and Judah he will be a stone that causes people to stumble and a rock that makes them fall. And for the people of Jerusalem he will be a trap and a snare.

Many of them will stumble; they will fall and be broken, they will be snared and captured.” Isaiah 8:11-15 NIV

My message to the church is simple and straightforward. I love you and have lifted you out of sin and despair. Do not forget what my Son has done for you, or despise or forget the gospel you received, for it is by grace that you have received life. Stand firm in your faith and share freely the grace I have bestowed on you. I, and I alone, am your refuge and your strength. Do not place your trust in the powers of the world to protect or help you. They are not your God. Trust in me and know that I am God.

Today I am launching a new work in your land. Today I am calling new workers into the vineyard. Today my Spirit is moving in a more visual way than ever before, because it is harvest time and I purpose to bring in all my sheaves. Lift up your eyes and see that the fields are indeed ripe and ready for the Harvest. Pray for the workers who toil to bring it in, and be ready every day for those whom I am sending to you, for nourishment and healing. This is the day I have made. This is my work. If you want to be involved with me, stay close to me and keep your eyes fixed on Jesus. We love you.

Language of the heart

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

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

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

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

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

A New Dawn

Me: Good morning Lord. Thank you for waking me this morning and for this new and beautiful morning. Thank you for the sunrise and dawn, and thank you for your mercy that stretches over us like a blanket. I love you Lord.

Lord: Good morning Martin. Thank you for coming with us to enjoy the dawn and spend time with us. We love these times together and love you so much.

Those who wait upon me will renew their strength. Do not be alarmed in the coming days as institutions crumble. I am carrying out a mighty purge in the world at this time. That which is built with feet of clay will crumble and fall. Nations may be bankrupt, but I the Lord Almighty owe nothing to anyone, and I own everything that has been made. All things belong to me, and all people belong to me. All things are mine to give, and mine to take away.

Wait upon me and trust me for my provision, for all who trust me will prosper. I will not leave my children hungry, or in want. I am the Lord who provides. Keep your eyes focused on me at this time, and listen to all I am saying to you, so that you may be ready and equipped, to meet the challenges of the coming days.

Many will come from the east and the west, from the north and the south, seeking purpose and meaning to their lives, and seeking a reason for the events of the day. Show them Jesus. Explain the way of salvation, for it is through my son, and my son alone, that salvation comes. To all who ask, respond in love. Do not show ant partiality. I desire that all will find my salvation, and that all will receive the forgiveness I have for them. Do not judge others, leave all judgement to me.

Come to me each day and let me guide your thinking and your pathway. I know what each day holds for you, and I will gladly give you any guidance and help you need, so that you do not stumble. Take my hand and trust me. I have already supplied through My Spirit all the tools you need. Be ready to use them as I direct, for the benefit of others and the furthering of my kingdom.

No human kings or princes can be relied upon. No human politician has the answers to all the problems that beset mankind. No army can truly win the battle or keep the peace. Only I have the answers. Only I can win the battle and only I can keep the peace, for these are mine alone to give and I give them to my children close to me. Ask and you will receive, seek and you will find, knock and I will open the door to you, for I love you with an everlasting love.

Lift up your eyes to the horizon. Watch in awe, as the new day dawns, with the sun of righteousness shining upon a new purged earth. Lift your voices to praise my name and let your hearts go out to each other in love. Lay down at the foot of the Cross, all the old ways of malice, prejudice, hatred and fear. Leave all your burdens there at the Cross and take my hand. Let us walk bravely together with all my children, into the way that leads to life. I am with you always, even to the end of the age.

Healing and Sin

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

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

I want to speak again about healing. It is my desire to heal all the illnesses and disorders of mankind. I do not want my children to have anything less than the perfection I designed for them. However, sin has entered the equation, and sickness has become a part of human existence, just as sin has. This was not in my plan, and I want to restore mankind to the original model I first created.

Healing comes with a new attitude to sin. Most people just accept their sinful nature as something they cannot do anything about. Though they try not to do wrong, they know they will, and just accept it. Because it has subtly become a fact of life, they believe there is nothing that they can do about it, and that somehow I will accept them in spite of their sin. Thus, subconsciously they are reducing the importance of salvation or deliverance from sin. As sin remains in their lives unchecked, so it eats away like a cancer at who they are, and before long they have disease and sickness taking over. Yes, disease and sickness is directly related to sin. To say it is related to a specific sin is much harder. It is more accurate to say that sickness is part of the fallen state of mankind, and that unchecked it will get worse.

I have changed all that, by sending my Son into the world to deal with sin. This was done through the Cross. By setting man free from sin, the driving force behind sickness is cut off. Once sin is cut off from source, it can be removed.

It is the mission of my Church, to proclaim deliverance from sin, sight to the blind and complete healing for the sick. In other words, to destroy the works of the Evil One, who is the cause of mankind's sin.

How do you heal the sick?
You proclaim the salvation Jesus brings, and set people free. This is the primary work of preaching the Gospel! The next step is to cut the cords that bind mankind to sin. It is like a binding rope around man that restricts his freedom of movement. It's all mixed up in attitude and world views and needs to be cut away. This is done through prayer, and in the name of Jesus, by holding on to the truth, and proclaiming the truth.

I am very deeply saddened by the way my people have so quickly and easily let go of simple truths that give them life. Truths like the plain and simple fact that the Bible is my inspired Word, that Jesus is my beloved Son, and that there is no other way to come to me except through Jesus. Facts like: I care for, and love you all, and I want the best for you.

Proclaim these things, and live them out in your lives, so that all those around you may see clearly that I am at work in your lives. That's the start.

Now to healing!
Many people are kept from me through their own sickness, and the sickness they see in others. Because the world has worked very hard, to detach spiritual truths from science, and to try and explain everything in scientific terms, most people think of doctors and healing in the same breath. But the truth is, that healing and salvation go together. Healing of most diseases and sicknesses is a spiritual matter. My children, the Church, that's you, are the best equipped to deal with this matter.

So come to me, and let me show you how to discern when to pray, how to pray, and how to heal the sick who are all around you. Be open to me and very courageous. Step out in faith and watch me work and you will be amazed. Every one of my saved children, that's all of you, have healing within you, and can be used in this mighty ministry. Allow me to use you. Do not hold back, and do not be deceived by the world, which says it can't be done. Through My Holy Spirit all things are possible, because I love you.

Because I love you, you too can love one another. As you love each other it hurts to see those you love suffering. So in love set them free. Do not just pray for them from afar, but pray with them and reach out and touch them. Making physical contact is a way of showing them that I too am reaching out to them and that all healing flows through me. Do not be woolly in your prayer but speak the command I give you. Be prepared to prophesy and do not be afraid of anything, for I am with you.

Go now into your little world, to the people around you and destroy the works of the devil. Bring salvation to the lost and healing to the sick. Set the captives free and sing me a song of praise, for I am with you and have equipped you. I love you.

Come and See - Come to Me

2010
Thursday, 4 February
04:56:13

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

Lord: Good morning son, welcome and I love you too.

Jesus: My people, you are now entering into "Come and See" times. Come with me, and I will show you all sorts of thing to do with the kingdom of my Father. Ever since the beginning of creation, God the Father has been inviting men and women to enter into a relationship with Him. He has always wanted to share His excitement and thrill, about the wonderful universe he had created. He always says, "Come and See, and I will show you" - "Lift up your eyes and see", or He asks the question, "What do you see?" In those times when Father and I were creating the world, the most common words between us were "Look! see what I have made." I was like any child, watching my Father and trying to do the things he was doing, and as I struggled he helped me. I had lots of ideas, and Father helped me make them reality.

In those early days in the garden we brought all the living creatures we had made to Adam saying, "Come and see what I have made, what shall we call it?" and he named every one. Down all the ages, the Father has kept mankind informed through direct contact, revelation and the prophets. Even those who did not know my Father received visions and dreams. When ever I give visions and dreams, I also give someone to reveal the meaning.

Lord: Yes, and even my plan for the salvation of mankind, was not done in secret. I told the prophets about it before Jesus came. I revealed to shepherds and to wise men the salvation I was planning, and said to them "Come, and see what I have done."

Jesus: Yes, and one day when John, was baptising, some of his followers started to follow after me. They asked me where I lived, and I told them, "Come and see." We had such a good time that day, as I revealed to them just a tiny glimpse of Fathers kingdom. It was enough though, to whet their appetites, and before evening came, they had gone out to their relatives and friends, and said to them, "Come and See".

Lord: The good news about Jesus is an 'open secret'. It has never been shrouded in mystery. It is simple so that the poor or simple-minded can understand, and it is profound in its simplicity, so as to satisfy the learned and wise of the world. The good news is never hidden from men and women. It is always accessible, though some come to it with a film of unbelief over their eyes. The enthusiastic calling of a believer, "Come and see", is the most powerful form of one-to-one evangelism you can use. Tell others your story and invite them to see for themselves. The responsibility of convincing others about Jesus is not yours, but mine. I only want you to tell the story and invite them.

Those of you I anoint to preach and to teach, have a responsibility to tell the truth and to expound the word as I lead you. But the work of conversion is a work of the Holy Spirit. You are to invite people to "Come and see".

Jesus: I was once with my disciples at Sychar in Samaria. The disciples had gone off to buy supplies, and I was sitting at the edge of the town by the well. It was about 3 in the afternoon, and there weren't many people around as it was too hot. A woman came to draw some water from the well and I asked her for a drink. We entered into an interesting conversation, and I helped her to see herself as she was, and as Father wanted her to be. As soon as the boys got back, she slipped off into the town, and started telling everyone she had had an encounter with me. She even recognised that I was the Messiah. The main thrust of her story was, "Come and see for yourselves". Soon the whole town was gathered around us, and pressing us to stay with them. They came to me because she said, "Come and see". After that it was up to me. At first they began to believe because of her story, but as they came to know me they believed because of their relationship with me.

Lord: I want you to tell the story and invite people to, "Come and see". Not all will respond, but those who take up your invitation will meet with me. Do not be discouraged by a few who don't listen or respond. Quietly pray for them, and leave them to me. Some need several invitations before coming. Do not dismiss them as beyond help. For I am prepared to go down into Hell itself, if I can bring even one back from the fire.

Jesus: Throughout history, in every age, the largest number of people come into the kingdom because they have been invited to "Come and see". That doesn't change; a personal invitation is worth more than a thousand posters.

My invitation to you all is, "Come and see. Let me show you how much I love you".

Me: Wow! thank you Lord, I love you.

Come unto Me

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.

Gather around the Throne of God

2010
Tuesday, 26 January
04:49:47 - 59 days to go

Me: Good Morning Lord. Thank you for waking me this morning and for giving me this day. I love you and I worship you this morning for you are great in all the world.

Lord: Thank you son, good morning, I love you too, and I have been looking forward to this time with you. Relax in me for I have things to say.

Jesus: My disciples got confused when I talked about 'a little while' and wanted to pin me down to a calendar date. I don't want you to be confused or to worry about dates and times. The exact timing is in the hands of my Father, who controls all things. However, I can and will tell you this: the time has come for my followers to be mobilised. The time for sitting around in 'holy huddles' is past, and now is the time for each member of the body to draw near to the Father and learn from Him.

No one needs to worry about drawing close to the Father, for you can draw near in my name! What does that mean?

It means that you come to me first, and receive all I am offering you - forgiveness, cleansing, healing  and salvation. You effectively die on the cross with me, by handing over your burdens of sin and self. Acknowledge to me that you are not the centre of the universe, and allow me to sit on the throne in the centre of your heart. Receiving me into your heart and allowing me to sit on the throne, means that when you stand in the throne room of the Father, he sees not your sins, but the righteous cloak I have covered you with, my blood. Sin cannot enter into the throne room of God, which is proof for you, should you need it, that as you enter, all sin has been forgiven and washed away in my blood. So draw near to the Father and learn from Him.

As children, Martin, all five of you, used to gather round your father on a Sunday afternoon, and the little ones would sit on his knee or snuggle up to him, and he would tell you stories about his childhood. They were precious times, and many of the stories and instances he told you, have stayed with you all your life. Your heavenly Father wants all his children to gather round him and let him tell you of things that were, things that are, and of things to come. As you have already begun to discover in these early meetings, he wants to enter into every aspect of you life. He is in the fun, the humour, the joy, the pain, the laughter and the seriousness. He wants you to be aware of him as you work and as you play. He delights in the things you delight in, and he is ready to cry with you.

I said he wants ALL his children to gather round. All means ALL, not just those who think they are in charge, or those with up front ministries. It means all, from the oldest to the youngest even those who have just turned from their evil ways, and walked into the Holy of Holies for the first time. Once you are washed in my blood, the door of the inner room stands open, and there is a warm and enthusiastic welcome. So, I urge all my people to come to the Father and seek him in my name.

When the Father speaks, He speaks plainly, and He opens up the heart to understanding. He unstops the deaf ears and speaks plainly. He opens blind eyes to see sharply. His gifts for his children are many and varied and are handed out in the Spirit to aid and help you, his beloved family, to know and understand, to see and to work as one with Him. Each gift is wrapped in love and should be used in love for the upbuilding of all God's people.

Lord: Keep Jesus as your centre, each day check he is on the throne, and in all your decisions. As I mobilise the Church into action in these days, I need soldiers with a clear personal close relationship with me. Men and women who are able to hear my immediate message and who are ready to drop one thing, and move to be where I want them. I am about to give a new freedom to talk about me and to proclaim the message of salvation. I want my people to be ready to pray, to speak, to listen and to do, as I lead. I invite you, my beloved people, to ask me directly for the souls of the unsaved. Ask me, and I will pour out on you my good pleasure. Enjoy this time I am moving you into. I shall!

Commit all your ways to the Lord your God, bring all those I lay upon your heart to me in prayer and ask for them. Yearn for my Kingdom to come on earth, long for the unsaved to come in out of the cold. Long for and work towards revival in these days. Then, lift your eyes to the hills and see the salvation of God for this nation and be glad.

John 16:23-28 (NIV - UK)

In that day you will no longer ask me anything. I tell you the truth, my Father will give you whatever you ask in my name. Until now you have not asked for anything in my name. Ask and you will receive, and your joy will be complete. Though I have been speaking figuratively, a time is coming when I will no longer use this kind of language but will tell you plainly about my Father. In that day you will ask in my name. I am not saying that I will ask the Father on your behalf. No, the Father himself loves you because you have loved me and have believed that I came from God.

Repent and be saved

2010
Monday, 25 January
04:59:42

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

Lord: I Love you my son, I love all men and women everywhere, and I long with a deep yearning, for them to turn from their wicked ways, and repent before me. Sin is the downfall of all mankind, and sin is anything at all that keeps you from me! No one on the planet can be free of sin until they come to Jesus in true repentance.

The wickedness of people in this land grows daily and each day more evil is brought to light. The hearts of peace loving, God fearing people, are appalled at what they see and hear. Britain is a broken and hurting society, it will continue to crumble into decay, until its people turn back to me, and repent of their sins.

No political system of men will reverse this decay, for politics can only deal with symptoms and there are so many symptoms no man knows where to begin. I do not deal with symptoms! I deal with the root cause of the problem, which is simple: Sin!

All have sinned and have fallen short. All have turned their back on me. They have not consulted me or asked for advice. All men and women in the land, think they have to put things right, or find a solution. There is only one solution: Return to the Lord your God and say to him:

Forgive all our sins and receive us graciously,

that we may offer you praise, the fruit of our lips.

We acknowledge that the strength of armies cannot save us,

human alliances cannot save us.

Laws, rules and restrictions cannot save us.

We have no means of transport fast enough

to save us from destruction

and no hole deep enough to hide us.

You O Lord are our only help.

We turn to you and cry out to you;

forgive us our sins and heal our waywardness.

Turn your anger from us.

Send the Holy Spirit to guide us into the paths of righteousness.

In Jesus' Name we ask it.

If my people who are called by my name will repent and turn to me then I will hear their prayer and come and heal their land.

Light up, once again, the fires of prayer in your midst. Turn to me with your whole heart, and pray from the depths of your soul. Nothing is too hard for me, and the desire of my heart is to bring all men everywhere, into my kingdom. It is always right to pray for salvation and conversion. Pray to see whole communities transformed by My Holy Spirit, whole cities set alight with the glorious gospel of Jesus. I will transform your streets, shopping malls, prisons, hospitals, schools, theatres, politics, laws, banking, armed forces. I will create a new society, if my people will turn to me and repent, and seek my face.

Hosea 14:4-9 (NIV)

I will heal their waywardness and love them freely, for my anger has turned away from them. I will be like the dew to Israel; he will blossom like a lily. Like a cedar of Lebanon he will send down his roots; his young shoots will grow. His splendour will be like an olive tree, his fragrance like a cedar of Lebanon. Men will dwell again in his shade. He will flourish like the corn. He will blossom like a vine, and his fame will be like the wine from Lebanon. O Ephraim, what more have I to do with idols? I will answer him and care for him. I am like a green pine tree; your fruitfulness comes from me.

Who is wise? He will realise these things. Who is discerning? He will understand them. The ways of the LORD are right; the righteous walk in them, but the rebellious stumble in them.

Lord, how Awesome..

Saturday, 23 January
05:00:00

Me: Good Morning Lord, Thank you for a good night's sleep and for waking me this morning. I Love you Lord.

Lord: Good Morning Son, welcome to the club. Thank you for joining us. I love you too, Let's spend a few moments together enjoying each others company.

A time of worship...

The LORD is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in love.
He will not always accuse, nor will he harbour his anger for ever;
he does not treat us as our sins deserve or repay us according to our iniquities.
For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his love for those who fear him;
as far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us.
As a father has compassion on his children, so the LORD has compassion on those who fear him; for he knows how we are formed, he remembers that we are dust.
As for man, his days are like grass, he flourishes like a flower of the field;
the wind blows over it and it is gone, and its place remembers it no more.
But from everlasting to everlasting the LORD's love is with those who fear him, and his righteousness with their children's children? with those who keep his covenant and remember to obey his precepts.


The LORD has established his throne in heaven, and his kingdom rules over all.
Praise the LORD, you his angels, you mighty ones who do his bidding, who obey his word.
Praise the LORD, all his heavenly hosts, you his servants who do his will.
Praise the LORD, all his works everywhere in his dominion.
Praise the LORD, O my soul.
Psalm 103. 8-end

Lord: Fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. As my people begin to realise just how great and awesome I am, and realise that alongside of me they are no more than dust, they will see just how wonderful a salvation I have prepared for them. Who is man that I should be mindful of him? You have cleared the garage and have unearthed the corpses of all kinds of insects and creatures that have been the prey of spiders. I knew when each of these insects met their doom, yet you did not even realise they were there. Each of their lives passed without man even caring, but I cared. If man is but dust on the scales, those tiny insects don't even register! Yet every one is known to me. How much more do I know and care about you, little man, who is made in my image, and possesses a portion of my love! Not one single drop of your blood is spilt without me knowing and measuring it.

Consider the stars in the heavens. I not only number them and name them, but I created them all, and the forces of the universe that cause the stars to move on their heavenly paths. Not one speck of dust in the entire universe is unaccounted for. Man in his own arrogance dares to say God has left his creation to run down. God has not left his creation one instant. Since its creation I have watched over every tiny part of it, and no one has been born or died, that I do not know intimately. I love this creation I have made, I care for it and nurture it, and guide all living things down pathways I have prepared. Yes, you have reason to fear the Lord your God, for he is higher above the heavens than can even be imagined by your tiny mind. My thoughts are so much higher than your thoughts that, all the arguments and thoughts of men, down all the ages of man, do not even disturb one thread of my thoughts. However I know all your thoughts, all your loves and hates, your joys and your fears, your times and your parting. I care about the smallest detail of your lives.

Wisdom, is to begin to know these things, and to understand just how insignificant you are in the whole, and yet how much I love you.

Every insect carcass in your garage, passed through its life without being aware of me, and became just a statistic in the record of the universe. You, however, are all precious to me, and I desire that not one, shall pass away unaware of my love. That is why I sent my son, that all men might hear about my love, and find the path I have made to bring them from the darkness of death, into the glorious light of life.

Even in the cycle of life in the garage, the spider itself dies, and a new generation of predators is born and dies. When I created the universe and laid the foundations of the earth, I was old beyond all the imaginings of man, yet since the foundations of the earth to its final destruction, I have not aged, and am as young as I am old! Fear me and love me, and you will find that I care for you, and provide each day for all your needs. Though the earth dry up and the rivers run dry, I will always provide for you the water of life, which flows from me, and gives you life.

What I have given you, is a picture of what things are like. The picture is a picture in your wakefulness and is static and with a single meaning, a description of the facts. I am pouring out visions at this time, and dreams, that tell of things yet to be. I will teach you, and any who are open to my thoughts and my ways, how to both see with your spiritual eyes, and how to interpret the dreams and visions you see. Some will be disturbing, even frightening, but do not be afraid. I do not give them to frighten you, but to warn and to guide. I do not give visions dreams and direct words without giving an interpretation. Wait on me, and I will reveal the meanings.

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of Wisdom. Be wise in me. I Love you.

Spread the Good News

2010
Sunday, 10 January
04:59:55

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.
