Dreams and Visions

Lord: Have you noticed, as you read the scriptures, even the hard passages, how I put pictures into your mind. All scripture is pictures, and your speaking and teaching is most effective when you use pictures. Visions or pictures bring light and colour to your mind as well as understanding. There are several things I want to say about visions.

Wait with them. Expect my word to conjure up pictures for you. As you read the Word or as you listen to me speak, let the pictures form in your mind and be displayed on the screen of your inner eye. Gaze on it, study it and recall it, so that its meaning can dawn on you. Vision and pictures are a common part of the learning process for children, but for some reason it is not thought appropriate for adults, who are encouraged to think in abstract thoughts and words. Adults also think using pictures, and behind every great writing is a picture. Make pictures in your mind's eye part of everyday life. Learn to read the picture, in the same way you take in any scene in life. Ask yourself what is happening in this picture, who is there and what are they doing. Draw your first conclusion from the obvious, then look at the detail, and see if that changes the meaning. If the meaning or the reason for the picture is unclear, then prayerfully ask for clearer vision or clarification. I give visions because I want you to understand something, or to hear what I am saying. If you don't see what it means, I will give you another vision. Those who focus on me and see their visions as coming from me, will learn to read them and understand them.

As you look at the pictures and begin to see what they are about, ask yourself two questions:

Does this picture apply to me? And if so how?

Does this picture apply to others or more generally? If so,to whom, and how?

Visions and pictures are, at some point, to share. When others hear about your vision their mind's eye also catches the light and sees the detail. It is good to share visions and pictures with other believers, so that they, prayerfully, can test out your interpretation and perhaps add to it. When others share their pictures with you, do not dismiss them but treat them as from me, and wait on the meaning until it is fully understood. Write them down or record them in some way.

In the coming months and years I am going to use the visual gifts more and more in revealing truth to my people. It will be both an encouragement to the believer, and a sign for the unbeliever.

The visionary and the dreamer of dreams are as important to the church as any other ministry, and should be prayerfully encouraged and listened to. I am already speaking to others about dreams and visions, as I am speaking to you about prophecy and preaching.

This sort of inspired sight should not be watered down or confused with people who are full of good ideas. Those gifts are good also, but are more a natural gift of seeing possibilities, and are the product of an active alert mind, not necessarily me speaking to the Church.

Where I give vision, I also give understanding. Sometimes it is important that the interpretation and understanding comes from another person, as with the gift of tongues, where one speaks and another interprets. This is not however a rule! Many of my visionaries understand and interpret themselves.

Be always open for the many ways I am speaking and teaching my people in these days, for I am doing a new work in your land. I am mobilising a might army and equipping them for action. Prayer warriors awake, Soldiers of Christ arise, Prophets listen and speak as the Lord leads, Visionaries and Dreamers open the eyes of your spirit and let me show you. My church must be ready to move when they hear My battle cry, Jesus is Lord!

Come to Me

05:01:25

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

Lord: I love you too son, thank you for joining me, I love these times together in the mornings, Please don't feel worried about your thoughts being disjointed or haphazard. that's why these times are so good, so I can help you sort them out, and begin to focus on Jesus.

Jesus: Time to be with me is so important. I invite my people into my dwelling place, near to the very heart of God. This place is a place of radiance, It is filled with the light of my Father. Once you have been into the near presence of the Almighty, once you have come with me into the heart of heaven you will always yearn with a deep longing to return. No worship on earth can fully compare with the worship of heaven,though it comes close at times. To get close and draw near, take my hand and let me lead you. Let me be your strength and the Way. Set your heart on the Way of the Lord, and follow in His pathways, and My Father in heaven will bless your pilgrimage. Though the storm may rage about you, your path will be still and bright and the flowers by the wayside will blossom. Though you walk through a desert where all is dry and hot, I shall make your way like a stream, and you shall cool yourself in the waters of life. Put your hand in my hand and let me lead you and bring you to the Holy place of my Father. As you walk with me, you shall go from strength to strength. I shall be your strength and shield; I shall be the still small voice in your ear. In me you will find salvation and strength.

Me. Blessed is the one who puts his trust in you, O Lord. Help us to focus on you and keep hold of your guiding hand.

Jesus: Those whom the Father has given me, I keep safe that none may be lost.

Come to me, all who find life hard, who feel all things are set against you, come to me and find in me, one who knows your pain and hurt, for I have suffered with you. Come to me and lay your burden down and enjoy the rest I give. Why do you labour so over that which is pointless. Seek first the Kingdom of God, and all the things you need, food and clothing, a place to shelter and rest, will be added to you out of My Fathers bounty.

Come to me, all of you who are burdened by sin and addiction. Sin is anything that comes between us and addiction is that which you cannot let go of. Come to me and cry out to me, acknowledge and confess your sins, and let me deal with them. I the Lord, and I alone have dealt with sin once and for all on the Cross. Here on the Cross I took your sins away and carried them to hell where I cast them in a burning lake of fire. Once I deal with your sin, it is finished; it becomes as though it never was. Turn you back on it and walk to me. Keep me in the centre of your gaze and let me wash you with the water of life, and restore in you the image of my Father, which was placed in you the day He created you.

Come to me, all you, who have grown weary on the road of life, stop for a while and drink of me. Your life has become too busy and your centre has become focused on things of the earth. The voice of mammon has become a background noise that you find hard to switch ff. Pause, stop, listen to me. let me be your focus let me be the way. Lay aside the 'things' you are doing for me and do the things I require of you. These things you will only know when you listen to me. Better to spend one day with me, standing on the threshold of heaven, than to be so busy you miss the door! Stop. Look at me, and wait for me to speak directly to you.

My Father in Heaven will bless all those who trust me and take my name upon them. Come to Him in Jesus' Name.

Meditation: Psalm 84

Like a Bride adorned for her Husband

2010
Sunday, 17 January
04:53:22 - (68 days to go!)

Lord: Your God is a great big God. He is not confined to wood metal or stone, like the thousands of idols most of the world worshipped, and still do. The Bible doesn't always fully express the delight and thrill I, the Lord your God, take in the creation I have made. When I made the earth, formed the land, and filled it with every living thing, I delighted in everything I made. I enjoyed making it perfect, and as I laughed and sang, creation began to sing with me. My breath caused the wind to blow, the trees began to dance in the wind. The birds soared on the thermals, swooping to the earth in the first formation dance ever. The animals of the field looked up from their grazing and joined their voices to the choir, why even the stars sang in their heavenly pathways, rejoicing with me, and sharing in my joy.

Throughout the Bible you will catch glimpses of this delight I feel in my creation, and of the great love I have for all things and all people. In Isaiah 62, I was rejoicing in my people whom I formed. I selected them and drew them apart. To show you the delight I feel in you, I had to use pictures that you can relate to, so I used the intimate picture of, the delight a young man feels in his new bride. That is the delight, I feel in you, when your righteousness shines like a bright light. A bride flourishes and blossoms in the love of her husband, you too can flower like a perfect rose, in the love and adoration I feel for you.

So great is my love for you, that I have allowed my Holy Spirit to dwell in you. My Spirit tunes you into, the things of heaven. He provides you with spiritual gifts beyond any natural human gifts. These are my wedding presents, to my bride, the Church. Wear these gifts that I give you and value them, like a bride values the ring on her finger, the symbol of oneness with her husband. Recognise the gifts I have given to each member of the body, encourage their use and their growth, for these gifts are not for your pleasure alone, but for the Church to grow and be effective. As my bride, the Church, uses the gifts I have given you, and you shall be like a young woman adorning herself with beautiful fragrances, and making herself beautiful for her husband. I laugh, and I shout for joy, when I see my church thus clothed.

When Jesus, my beloved son, visited his mother in Cana, they went together to a family wedding. In the first public miracle he performed, Jesus showed them, how much I care about every detail. Wine is provided as a sign of celebration and joy. It is also a sign of love, and the wine flowing at a wedding helps all the guests to enter into the celebration and joy of the young couple. For the wine to run out when things were in full flood, was not only a disgrace to the family, but would be seen as a disaster for the couples relationship with each other. By turning the water, some 160 gallons of it, into the finest wine available, I showed how much I love and value them, and in turn, how much I value you.

I am the bridegroom, and you my beloved church, are my bride. I love you more than any groom ever loved his bride. I take great delight in you, for you bring joy and laughter into my house, and I want the very best for you. Do not be afraid to explore, use and delight, in the many spiritual gifts I have poured out on you. They are given that you may be used to help heal our broken and hurting family. I came into the world to bring life. I came to heal and to save my broken world. I have defeated the evil one, and we are now doing a mop up operation to bring home our wounded children.

As I delight in you my beloved, delight in me, and in the work we do together.

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.

I will keep you in Perfect Peace

Lord: I want you all to keep your minds and your hearts fixed on me. Trust me, and me alone, the time for putting any trust in the world is past. Those who follow the statutes of the worlds wisdom, will fall by the wayside, and be trampled under foot. Those who follow the way of the Lord will rise up, and shout for joy, and their voice shall be heard in all the earth.

Do not be slow in singing the songs of the Lord, praising the Name of Jesus. Allow your voices to rise in harmony. Let your hearts be quickened by the Holy Spirit, as you proclaim His praises and utter His Name. Let the mighty Name of Jesus become a name that All know and love, for it is in this Name, and this Name alone, that you are saved. Be bold and be very courageous, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.

I the Lord, will keep you in perfect peace, though the storm may rage about you, if your mind is fixed on me.

I, the Lord your God, will accomplish great things in your midst, for it is me that is working among you. Your hands accomplish nothing, you have done nothing at all for the salvation of mankind. That work is a work of grace, and grace comes only from the Cross of Jesus. Hold onto that grace, for it is to you a lifebelt. With the lifebelt of grace firmly around you, and in your grasp, you are saved. I do not let go, and I do not lose, any whom I save.

I want my children to have peace in their hearts, and to show my peace in the manner of their lives. The peace I give, is not like the peace of the world. The world's peace, is governed by outside influences and worldly standards, which change with every wind. My peace comes from within. When we come, the Father, Jesus, and the Spirit, and make our home in your hearts, our peace and perfect harmony rise up within you, to fill every part of you. The peace I give no other can give, and it will be your rock in times of tribulation and change. Keep your eyes fixed on Jesus.

From within the peace and security I shall give you, you will look out and see, the Lord is about to destroy worldly systems, and make 'the marketplace' a wasteland. Isaiah 24.1-3

See, the LORD is going to lay waste the earth and devastate it;

he will ruin its face and scatter its inhabitants?

it will be the same for priest as for people, for master as for servant,

for mistress as for maid, for seller as for buyer,

for borrower as for lender, for debtor as for creditor.

The earth will be completely laid waste and totally plundered.

The LORD has spoken this word.

But, for those who trust in the Lord, He will hold you in the hollow of His hand and cover you . He will keep in perfect peace, all who mind is fixed on Jesus. Isaiah 26.1-9.

A Song of Praise

In that day this song will be sung in the land of Judah:

We have a strong city; God makes salvation its walls and ramparts.

Open the gates that the righteous nation may enter, the nation that keeps faith.

You will keep in perfect peace him whose mind is steadfast, because he trusts in you.

Trust in the LORD for ever, for the LORD, the LORD, is the Rock eternal.

He humbles those who dwell on high, he lays the lofty city low;

he levels it to the ground and casts it down to the dust.

Feet trample it down? the feet of the oppressed, the footsteps of the poor.

The path of the righteous is level;

O upright One, you make the way of the righteous smooth.

Yes, LORD, walking in the way of your laws, we wait for you;

your name and renown are the desire of our hearts.

My soul yearns for you in the night; in the morning my spirit longs for you.

When your judgments come upon the earth,

the people of the world learn righteousness.

In all the devastation of lives, amid the weeping of broken hearts, proclaim with boldness the Name of Jesus. Share the Good News in all its fullness. Do not be like the hypocrites who 'water down' the truth, to make it more acceptable. My truth stands, and is like a strong medicine. It must be taken in its fullness. The truth is like a surgeons knife; a tool of healing in a firm and confident hand, but a weapon of destruction when wielded by those who do not know the Lord. I am the Way, the truth and the Life. In me is all holiness, all truth, and all love, come to me, and drink and live, then together, we will bring the light of truth and healing, to a devastated world.

Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened,

and I will give you rest.

Take my yoke upon you and learn from me,

for I am gentle and humble in heart,

and you will find rest for your souls.

For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.

Matthew 11.28-30

Jesus at the Centre

2010
Monday, 11 January
04:55:07

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

Lord: Good morning Son, Welcome to our session of praise this morning. (Time of praise and worship and a reading from John 6 25-59)

Me: Lord, what must we do, to be doing the works that God requires?

Lord: The work God requires of all of you is the same as it always was, that you believe in the one he has sent. The Gospel of Jesus is the centre. (John 6.21)

Before you can come into the centre of my will, before you can even creep into the corner of my throne room you must have the name of Jesus, my beloved son, written on your heart. In order for the name of Jesus to be written on your heart you need to take the Word, that's Jesus, and take him into yourself. Some simplify that truth in the words, ask Jesus into their lives. It is that simple but the truth of what that simple step does is profound. To receive Jesus into your life is like taking a mouthful of food and chewing on it, with every chew you get more flavour and more nourishment. The symbolism of Jesus as My Word, and the Bread of Life, is not accidental. The Word, my word needs to be listened to, taken in, chewed over and digested. In exactly the same way you take food into your bodies, so you must take, eat and digest the Word of God. As you absorb and digest the Word of God in Jesus, you will find the desire to be more like Jesus. In order to be like Jesus you must take his life into yourself. The life of every living creature is in the blood, so taking the life of Jesus into your being is to have his blood flowing in your veins. When my Son was crucified on the Cross of Calvary, His precious life giving blood was shed. It flowed from his side and He died. It was through this act of dying and shedding his blood that you and all men and women find salvation. Take his Life into you. like drinking a cup of wine helps the food go down, so you need to take the life of Jesus into you to make the Word of God live. DO NOT make the mistake of worshipping the elements of bread and wine. This was never the Lords intention. He wanted, that whenever we shared a meal together with those who believe in Jesus, you remember that every Word He spoke, and every drop of blood he shed, was for you, and to treasure and nurture the Word of salvation in your hearts and lives. It is a sadness to me that this very simple illustration of the truth has in itself become a matter of ritual and even worship. That is not my intention. A ritual looses its potency and soon becomes a stumbling block when those who partake, forget, or do not fully understand the meaning. Yes I know the words of the Communion rite contain all the teaching needed, but because it has become a thing you do, even that washes over people without going in. I want my children to worship Jesus and to believe in him and in what he has done for their salvation, not because they like the ritual of eating a sliver of paste or having a sip of wine.

Martin, when you lead my people in the Eucharist, I want you to share this meal in a new and living way. Let all those who love Jesus partake. For those who don't know him or love him, it is better they do not pretend.

Those who claim that the Eucharist is central to Anglican or Catholic worship, have totally missed the point. It is not to be the centre at all. Jesus is the only centre in the Christian walk, and you should worship Him, not any symbol or rite. The Eucharist is only a symbol to help you understand that truth. The established Churches must re-focus and re-centre if they are to survive. If Jesus is not in the centre, they are lost, and are of no use in this revival.

John 6:53-56 (NIV)

Jesus said to them, "I tell you the truth, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. For my flesh is real food and my blood is real drink. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me, and I in him.

Me: Lord, does that mean we shouldn't have Communion Services?

Lord: No, that is not what I am saying. Jesus instituted Communion to be a help to you, only He intended it to be as the Christian family came together to share a meal together, a remembrance of Him, and all that he achieved on the Cross. He made no rules about children not receiving, or of the elements becoming anything more than a symbol. It is as you receive Jesus and His Word, and as you take His life blood into your system, that you become more like Him. This can just as easily be done without the symbols. The rite of communion is not magic! It is supposed to be an aid, nothing more.

My message to you and to my Church today is simple, Jesus is the Centre.

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.
