Jesus on His chariot 6 March 2020

Tonight, while worshipping, the Lord showed me a picture of Him on a chariot with horses’ reigns in His hand, the horses were all the elements of the universe, the four corners of the world, they were all harnessed to the chariot. Jesus was riding the chariot and having a ball, throwing out lightning and thunder as He travelled across the wings of the wind, traversing the globe, sitting on the circle of the earth, throwing out these lightning bolts with thunder and wherever they hit, there His people would be grabbing that lightning and thunder and sending it onto the souls around them, throwing out, as quickly as they could, but even so, it wasn’t fast enough, for the lightning bolts and thunder from the Lord were coming down faster than the people could pass them out.

As the Lord’s people were throwing out the lightning bolts and thunderous words, they weren’t shouting, but the words moved the earth in people’s hearts as it was straight from the mouth of God, as they were passing out the bolts and thunder that came from the mouth and hand of God, so were the seeds planted, as it was planted almost immediately it was also reaped. God is saying, the harvest is ripe, who will go for Him, who will go with Him, He is traversing the earth, no longer sitting on the circle of the earth but currently riding the clouds with His chariots, harnessing the ends of the earth, the elements of the world, the universe, to accomplish His work. Will you go with Him, will you go for Him, this is the question, where will you be in His traversing? Will you traverse with Him, will you stay out and have nothing to do with it, as it says in Isaiah 63 ‘I’ve been treading the winepress alone. No one was there to help.’ So, the Lord is saying about the harvest, Mat 9:37 ‘the harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few.’ Will you leave Him to do this work alone, because He can, but, if we will allow Him to work with, through, and in us, He will accomplish much, and the rewards are great, we will see Father move heaven and earth if we say ‘Send me, I will go for you, God make me Your hands and feet,’ Father will have His way, where will you be, where will I be, what will we choose, Father has His way, whether the people will move with Him or not, but if we do, He alone will be the strength beneath our wings. He has promised us supernatural power, strength, divine wisdom, insight and supernatural divine wisdom and discernment of spirits of life and death and He will be glorified, He will be exalted high above all other names that at the name of Jesus every knee will bow and every tongue confess, ‘Jesus Christ is Lord’ His banner over me is love, He would have me spread His banner over the world far and wide, if I will allow Him to use me.

If we will believe that His holy Spirit came on that day of Pentecost like a gale force wind… can we fathom it… no, in South Africa we have never had that gale force wind, let’s pray we don’t have to have it before we will listen and hear and go for Him. If we could understand that that gale force wind shook the building to nearly blowing over the walls, shook, the ground beneath them… shook… when the Holy Spirit came, are we expecting this move of God, where He will shake the ground beneath us, He will shake all we know as solid and give us a new understanding of what it means for God to move, for God to be the immovable, moving mountains into the sea, Oh God make us see! We look at buildings, temples (churches and even ourselves, our bodies), mountains as unshakable, but I pray for the day God makes us know… His unshakable… unlike anything this world knows or can see. When we believe that His Holy Spirit came in that Holy fire and shook that building to nearly collapsing, ‘no one could tell where it came from’ and then broke the ‘wild fire’ (Acts 2, the Message) into parts and came to rest on the people, from there they began speaking in tongues in different languages.

Picture this, the entire building is nearly blown over with the 120 disciples inside it, by a gale force wind, these are not silent. Then what looks like a wildfire appears from nowhere and rests on each person and they come out of the building speaking languages they’ve never spoken before. This could hit the local news instantly! Can we believe the Lord for a move like this?

He is working, He is on His chariot, moving cracking lightning and thunder bolts from the heavenlies to the earth enabling us to harvest as we live and move and have our being in Him. ‘Every seed is important, every seed is necessary, don’t miss an opportunity,’ says the Lord, ‘take every moment you can to plant, I will harvest, keep planting, I am harvesting faster than you can imagine, faster than the lightning bolts that I am sending from the heavenlies, I am harvesting, keep sowing, keep reaping, keep harvesting I am working,’ says the Lord, ‘believe me, I will do a great work in the world through this generation of South Africans, if you will only believe. The devil has no say, never mind who has the last say, I am always in control and I will always fulfil my word. My word over South Africa has always been life and Godliness to be spread from here throughout the world, throughout the nations, spread by South Africans through South Africans, bringing the rest of the world back in line, back on track to the family values, family statutes of my word that South Africans, knowingly or unknowingly carry with them in their DNA, I have kept them as a people, hidden in my ways that they may not be corrupted by the world, that they would carry the light of my Kingdom to the rest of the world, and even though they don’t see or know it now, that is why they, South African families have been scattered abroad to share and bring the gospel to the people around them through the loving, caring environment of the family structure.’

Now there will be a backlash, there will be a fight for the family structure, especially in South Africa, that is only natural, the devil always tries to silence the messenger before he can effectively bring the message of the Living God to His people and those around him, but Rom 8:28  ‘and we know that for those who love God all things work together for good.’ Hold on South Africa, hold fast to all I have given you in my word, fight South Africa, with all you have, for the family structure, this is the one place in the world where the sanctity of marriage and family can be seen undestroyed by the enemy and his plan he sees as cunning. He knows nothing of the strategy I, the Living God, have had from the beginning of time, and the very plan the enemy had to silence, destroy and kill this people of strength, of courage and of character that I have raised up in South Africa, is the self-same strategy I have orchestrated to send and separate my people throughout the world, scattering them like nothing before in order to send out, strategically place them, strategically spread them into the world… my silent army. Oh my silent army, you don’t even know who you are, you don’t even know that you have been planted with the strategy of the King of kings on your heart in order to bring my peace, bring my reconciliation of families, family structure, family strength in loving-kindness, in loving-territories back to me like no other weapon can bring in place. The family is my secret weapon to bring society back to it’s feet from having fallen into the mire and destruction the enemy tries to kill, steal and destroy all that I have placed in society, but you, South Africa are placed in such a way that you will silently bring back to me those who have gone astray, into the ways of the world they didn’t know to be traps, I will bring them back with the love they find in all your homes. South Africa, go out amongst those around you, bring the South African culture back to families… relaxing in each others homes where we pick up on culture, nuances and how to love one another as I have taught you from the beginning of time. Bring the world back to it’s knees, remember, when South Africa announced a 1 million strong prayer meeting, no one asked ‘to which god will they pray?’ remember that, there is only one God, the world already knew and knows the God of South Africa is the one true God, they need us to show it to them by our loving testimony. Go forth and multiply in a new way. Stay close to me, I will lead, guide and empower you, mostly when led by Holy Spirit, I will be the one multiplying your efforts and reaping the harvest, keep sowing, I will reap… the time is now! It is Time! the time is now, It Is Time! the time is now, It Is Time! Go South Africa, Go!! Go for Me, go with Me, go in the strength of your heavenly Father! Go, where I will send you, go when I will send you, go without questioning, go without looking back, go without spare sandals, go without a purse, go in my strength, go in my Spirit, I will send you where no one will know where you came from or where you are going, I will send you, will you go for Me? Will you go with Me? South Africa this is your destiny, you were raised up, tried and tested for such a time as this, will you go with Me? The devil tried to kill you for this destiny, will you stand in the face of this destiny, this trial and testing is over, South Africa, will you stand and say, I was raised up for such a time as this?
South Africa, rise and shine for your light has come and the glory of the Lord will shine upon you (Isaiah 60:1)  if you will allow Me, I will go with you, I will go before you, I will go in you, in power in strength you have never encountered before, by the power of the Holy Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead, I will go before you, by the very breath that spoke life into being I will cast out the demons, I will clear the battle ground before you get there, I will be the trap set before the enemy, the enemy will run into it and you will come in behind the souls that felt trapped by the enemy, and you will be the ones to pick up the pieces and catch the harvest for the Kingdom, reaping the harvest where the enemy thought he had a stronghold, you, South Africa, you will be the ones to harvest, you will be picking that harvest and saving the souls for eternity, that they will not be lost, I will not loose one of these that I have apportioned for my Kingdom, they will each be known by Me and be brought to Me before the end of time, says the Lord Almighty! There is none that will snatch them away from Me, or out of My holy hand, says the Lord God Almighty, the One Living, true God.

Black hole in the inner chamber

This week at church the Lord showed me a picture during worship. You need to know that we had about 45min of praying in the Spirit and free worship, this was the most tangible presence of God I have felt in a group of people for sometime.

I asked the Lord, ‘why do I feel as though I’m never totally submitting, allowing You to control my entire being, like when people fall over from the touch of the Holy Spirit. I feel I’ll nearly fall down but then I resist it?’

The Lord showed me a picture of a grey smallish room and I immediately understood it to be the inner chambers of my heart. There in the back left corner was a dark spot, on inspecting it I found that it was a hole in my heart. The Lord said ‘these are the pains, rejections, hurts, neglect and abandonments in your life that you have not let go of. While you’re holding onto them you are allowing that hole to continue to grow or remain active.’

God: ‘Now, the question is what will you do with all that pain?’

Me: ‘but Lord I have forgiven them,’

God: ‘yes, but you haven’t released them of the burden of what they’ve done to you and until you do you will remain with a hole in your heart, that everytime my glory comes it pours through the back door in your heart and I can’t help you, to fill you up, because you have allowed that back door to remain and for it to have full authority to the access of all I am doing in your life, by holding tightly to the reigns of authority of the blame and guilt and shame of what these people have done to you. Let go, let My Spirit in, completely, fully, entirely surrendering can only come once you have released your hold on all the things around you that keep you under the authority of the world and the things around you. The things of this world have no authority over you unless you give them the reigns. Those reigns you are holding, let them go into My Presence and I will continue to deal with those as I see fit. Give your full surrender to me and I will close the hole in your heart, as you have now given me permission to do and I will fill your cup to overflowing!’

Prayer I prayed now, today as I was writing this:

‘Please God, help me to relinquish into your hands every person that has ever hurt, neglected, abandoned, rejected, abused or in anyway wronged me and help me to release them, the memory of all they’ve done and the deep hurt, pain, shame and rejection to you. Amen’

Thank You Lord, I receive,

I trust this will help someone else as well! God Bless!

Valentine’s Day Stretch

14 February, 2020

So, today I had to give my 7year old some elastics to wrap around his chair at school to fiddle with using his feet to keep him from rocking his chair.

Watching him playing with the elastics got me to thinking about love, since it’s Valentine’s day, I got to thinking about how this love stretches you.

You see, my daughter who just turned 11 was invited to a camp where we know none of the adults, we know only the parents of the girl who invited her, and, they won’t be on the camp… haha… classic.

I have been asking the Lord for an opportunity for my daughter to stretch her ‘social wings’ without the family ‘tagging on her tail’. Now, here is the perfect opportunity, Christian youth camp, but… we have not allowed sleep overs yet, these can be complicated, she has been on camp, but you know they all know each other. So she says to me, I just realised I’m going on a camp where I know no one…ugh …

So the helicopter parents who allow our children little to no time apart from us, now have a decision to make, we allow this small break away, trusting the Lord has provided the opportunity I’ve been praying for or… do the classic hoarder mentality, helicopter parent stint and deny her all opportunity for growth outside of the home…

This is what that elastic reminds me of… love is good for me  because it causes me to hold on as tightly as humanly possible to this precious gift from God, who inexplicably changed my world, turning it upside down in the most indescribably wonderful ways. Almost like when you’ve been looking at the wrong side of a tapestry all the time and then someone comes along and tells you to turn it around and the full vista will never be the same again… the best turn around that could ever be expected.

We’ve held on as tightly as humanly possible for 10years, now, suddenly, slowly, serendipitously we are letting go… do we have a choice… yes, let go or loose the growth potential… we opt for growth… that elastic that’s been wound so tightly around our hearts and hers, it’s not used to the stretch…it’s uncomfortable… we all know it’s for the best.

How does God relate to this stretch… as I was reading this morning…

Romans 5:6-11

6 You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. (God knowing only purity and perfection elected to take us from our mire and bring us towards Him, but this sacrifice was greater than we will ever know, giving part of Himself, perfect perfection to come down and become imperfect sin that we may know Him? A stretch we will never be able to relate to from eternity past, present and perfect to earth full of sin and shame.)

 7 Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous person, though for a good person someone might possibly dare to die. 8 But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. (stretched to His death…)

(He didn’t leave it there, He didn’t leave us or Himself in earthly death and humiliation) 9 Since we have now been justified by his blood, how much more shall we be saved from God’s wrath through him! 10 For if, while we were God’s enemies, we were reconciled to him through the death of his Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through his life! 11 Not only is this so, but we also boast in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation.

You see, while we were dead, the Lord saved us, not only to live but to live fully reconciled with Him in order for us to live in right standing with Him through His Holy Spirit.

He stretched Himself to the point where He transcended heaven and earth through His Son, our wonderful Lord Jesus Christ, to bringing Him back to heaven and introducing and remaining here in the form of His Holy Spirit sanctioning us with all authority in heaven and on earth given to us through our Lord Jesus Christ, by the power of the all-encompassing Holy Spirit to carry out His will.

What is His will, that “at the name of Jesus every knee will bow, every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord.”

Is this a stretch for us, you betya! As much as the Lord did for us… never…

It’s a valentine’s day stretch… Luke 9:24 ‘If you try to hang on to your life, you will lose it. But if you give up your life for my sake, you will save it.’ (NLT)
