Unity

Right now, we’re “having fun” with the anointing and I’m not saying this is a bad thing - (Personally I have benefited greatly from this time) but it’s the best way to describe the “season” we’re in. (Except from 29 April 2023) ~~~ In the civil war movie Glory, the newly formed 54th Massachusetts regiment have just received their new rifles; They are naturally very excited and are having fun, “playing war”, taking potshots with the rifles and “playing dead”. As Colonel Shaw, the Company Commander approaches and sees them, his mind is taken back to his last battle (The battle of Antietam - another civil war bloodbath) and the horrors that he endured; the blood that flowed; the comrades in arms who fell right beside him: Now as he watches his men “play acting” he immediately takes action. Another bloody battle is on the horizon; his men must be ready - and right now they are not.

The “Office” of a Bond Servant - The Prophet Part II

 “If anyone thinks he is a prophet, let him acknowledge that what I say to you is the Lord’s command.” ( 1Corinthians 14:37 ) Why does Paul say this? Because written scripture (including Paul’s own writings) always trumps spontaneous prophecy. According to the New Testament , the “office” of a prophet (if we have to word it like that), is exactly as the other four listed ministries - a position of Servanthood , for the building up of the Church, for the glory of God: Being a prophet is to serve the Body of Christ , in the House of the Lord, like a Pastor or a Teacher , etc. We are not celebrities…We are bond-servants. We’re merely serving in the Body; I don’t have a more spiritual walk than you…I’m likely not more mature than you…I certainly didn’t earn the ministry of prophet. I’m just serving in the Body, in the capacity that the Lord decided to give me, like every other faithful believer. (Maybe if we stopped using the term “office of prophet” and “ office of apostle ” it wou...

“Revival”

 “Revival” Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for thereby some have entertained angels unawares. (Hebrews 13:2) Sometimes I believe that, in charismatic circles, we are looking to “experience the glory”, without proper understanding of where and how God’s glory manifests itself.  As I have learned in my own life, God will bring signs and wonders right when and where they are needed. These supernatural gifts are for the Glory of God and the Service of His people. Therefore, to put those who operate in them…those who have conversations with angels, “trips to the third heaven” - to name but a few examples - on a pedestal…without considering their character or maturity as a Christian (and without actually TESTING their claims) is extremely unwise. If all our emphasis is on the claims of signs, wonders and physical miracles, we are walking down a dangerous road, which if unchecked will ultimately end here: Revelation 13:11-17 For Satan himself masquerades as an angel ...

Through Heaven’s Eyes

  Written 20th April 2021 This clip from Moses Prince of Egypt and the accompanying prophesy is a word from God, to the Church in any nation that reads it...to all of us...now...and especially the church in the U.S.A.... and the UK: Whenever I looked, I saw these nations...through Heaven’s eyes !... “Look At Your Life Through Heaven’s Eyes” “Pray My people...humble yourselves and pray. For I Am birthing a culture of HONOR in My Body:  Not an honor for big ministries and big names...not the Tower of Babel that this world is building...but honor for one another...from the least to the greatest... That you would see yourselves and one another through MY EYES...One Body...many MANY diverse parts...no one more important in MY EYES than the other...each one essential to the health and effectiveness of the Whole.  Because through MY EYES, Church is not a pedigree...Church is a UNITY...an Ecclesia...a miraculous and (sometimes messy) but always beautiful, coming together...of E...

“A man after my own heart”

Trump shall be a Trumpet I agree with much of this prophetic word, but should we not first be humbled and utterly broken…?   Why? Because we are trying to build on the wrong foundations:  God will not entrust such an outpouring of wealth and resources to His Church in the West, until we first surrender and repent of the love of it. When we understand that what has been prophesied here - what He is doing - is not for us…Not for our wealth and prosperity! But rather “restore the fortunes of Zion: rebuild the alter of sacrifice - let the cross be lifted high over the land again…that those who are penitent can come…and receive forgiveness…and know Me” says the Lord. For much of what is prophesied in the video clip is still future…it has yet to happen.  “A man (in the White House) who is after My own Heart: This means that like David, everything else…every pleasure, security and desire that is of this world must be forsaken! This person’s desire…their hope…their strength…their...

“Exiled”

    Psalm 42:7 “Deep cries unto deep at the sound of your waters” : Written during the time of the exile, the Psalmist finds himself far from the Place of the Temple, the House of the Lord …the Place where he can worship God freely…and he cries out to God:  “I am far from home and troubles overwhelm me…” (Read Psalm 42) Likewise the prophet Jonah , from the depths of the sea, at the gates of death itself…also in a place of “exile” far from the House of the Lord, cries out to God: “I called out to the Lord, out of my distress, and he answered me; out of the belly of Sheol I cried, and you heard my voice.  For you cast me into the deep, into the heart of the seas, and the flood surrounded me; all your waves and your billows passed over me. (Psalm 42:7)  Then I said, ‘I am driven away from your sight; yet I shall again look upon your holy temple.’ (Psalm 27:13)  The waters closed in over me to take my life; the deep surrounded me; weeds were wrapped about my ...

The Time of Testing is Coming…

“We do hereby dedicate this Land, and ourselves, to reach the People within these shores with the Gospel of Jesus Christ , and to raise up Godly generations after us, and with these generations take the Kingdom of God to all the earth. May this Covenant of Dedication remain to all generations, as long as this earth remains, and may this Land, along with England, be Evangelist to the World. May all who see this Cross, remember what we have done here, and may those who come here to inhabit, join us in this Covenant and in this most noble work that the Holy Scriptures may be fulfilled.” that… "…from these very shores the Gospel shall go forth to not only this New World but the entire world." The Rev. Robert Hunt : 1607 Just as Israel’s mandate was to bring the light of Messiah to the nations, so we in America must return to our original foundations. The procuration of the Gospel to the ends of the earth.  Beneath the swamp of the Modern day, seeker-sensitive, celebrity-style c...
