THE ARMY OF GOD IS ADVANCING 23/03/2018
There is an army of God rising up in this hour, to run into battle and to win. The army is rising up and aligning in this hour, God says to align, it’s time to rise forward and advance! Declare and decree with me “The army of God will advance – they will not stand still, they will move forward!” God is going to strategically use leaders in this season to arrange the troops into groups, to be in position so that each can play their part. All those who are in the army of God, who are advancing forward, wear a badge of honour which the Lord bestows upon them. When you go into battle – put on your armour – Ephesians 6.

WHERE THERE HAS BEEN AN ABHORRING THERE WILL BE A HARVEST ~ 29/01/2018
There will be a harvest this year, especially of those who seemingly regard Christianity with extreme aversion, those who regard God and/or the church with complete hatred and disgust, the Lord is going to be on their case this year! For those of you who have been praying for a lost son or daughter or grandchild or friend or parent – take hold of this word and declare it over your situation, that this will be a time you’ll see the reward of your labour where you have been praying and interceding for the salvation of a lost one! Be encouraged, don’t look at the natural circumstances, God is calling home the lost and even the worst of the worst are going to be supernaturally saved by the grace of God as they receive our Lord Jesus as their saviour. Just like Saul persecuted Christians at any given opportunity he had, when the Lord met with him he was radically transformed in a moment.

BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES IN 2018 ~ 28/01/2018
The Lord says I am releasing business opportunities this year. Be not surprised if opportunities arise for you within your workplace or within your own business. Be not surprised if business proposals come your way.
This will be a time and a season when we see the entrepreneurs arise. This will be a time when we see some of those who have been working on projects and inventions in their basements and in their garages coming out of small beginnings and move into bigger things. The Lord’s favour is coming out in the realm of business.
Some people might say ‘oh yet another word about business I have heard it all before” but I believe the Lord says if you partner with me and trust me to see the word come to pass, you will be abundantly blessed and I will pour out my rich blessings from heaven to you. The Lord wants to release creative ideas and strategies for the business minded, for those in professional jobs and for those that are called to be entrepreneurs and He wants to teach them to listen to the voice of the holy spirit, to be guided to the avenues where provision is going to be released.

THE LORD IS RELEASING A CALL TO PURITY 18/01/2018

1 John 3:2-3 “Dear friends, we are already God’s children, but he has not yet shown us what we will be like when Christ appears. But we do know that we will be like him, for we will see him as he really is. All who have this eager expectation will keep themselves pure, just as he is pure.”

I sense that purity is flowing like a fountain in the spirit, yet it’s not a release of purity – it is a call to purity.
The Lord is calling His church up to a higher place of purity, His heart cry is that we would purify ourselves before Him and discard all that would defile us.

I see the lord moving on hearts with his fire, burning his love intricately into hearts, gazing deeply into the eyes of those that He loves. He is looking for a people that have single vision – those that have the eyes and mind of a dove. Dove’s eyes have a fixed field focus, the fix their gaze on only one thing at a time. God is calling us to purify our hearts and gaze our vision on the things that are pure, lovely, admirable and right. (Philippians 4:8)

I hear the lord say, Keep your eyes on me and me alone, I am a jealous God and I am jealous for you. Leave your impurities behind, take off that which would blemish you, draw yourself near to me and I will draw near to you. Wash your hands and purify your hearts.
Purify your hearts before me, get rid of all that would block you from having communion with me today, get rid of all that would impurify you. Have eyes for only me, don’t be double minded, have single vision. I want to move in your life, I want to be closer to you and form a greater bond of intimacy, make room for me, circumcise your heart so that it is set apart for me.

God is cleansing us and he’s inviting us to come into agreement with what He is doing by taking action steps of faith to say YES Lord – we want to be a pure people! We want to be set apart for you and you alone! The Lord says in Psalm 103:12 “I will remove your sin as far as the east is from the west”, yet we also have a part to play in setting ourselves apart for Him by removing ourselves from sin and leading a life of purity.  Let’s partake in letting go of all that would hinder us!

The lord is inviting us to a banquet table to dine with him, to commune and break bread with him, yet to do this we must purify our hearts.

God is in the business of raising up a people of purity – He is calling leaders to come on a journey and take up greater levels of purity in their lives. He is wanting to form an army of men and woman that would give it all for him, nothing more and nothing less but ALL that they are. He’s raising up a generation of those who are pure in heart for him.

What does it look like to live in purity? Leave behind all that would defile you. Have nothing to do with such things! Things that would defile us include:
Jealousy, Anger, Rage, Harsh words, Slander, Envy, Evil behaviour, Sexual immorality, Lustful pleasures, Idolatry, Sorcery, Hostility, Quarrelling, Selfish ambition, Conflict, Division, Wild parties, Drunkenness, Lying, Stealing, Foul and abusive language, Bitterness

Mark 7:20
It is what comes from inside that defiles you. For from within, out of a person’s heart come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery, greed, wickedness, deceit, lustful desires, envy, slander,  pride and foolishness. All these vile things come from within; they are what defile you.

Galatians 5:19-21
The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God.

Ephesians 4:23 – 32
Instead, let the Spirit renew your thoughts and attitudes. Put on your new nature, created to be like God—truly righteous and holy.
So stop telling lies. Let us tell our neighbours the truth, for we are all parts of the same body. And don’t sin by letting anger control you. Don’t let the sun go down while you are still angry, for anger gives a foothold to the devil.
If you are a thief, quit stealing. Instead, use your hands for good hard work, and then give generously to others in need. Don’t use foul or abusive language. Let everything you say be good and helpful, so that your words will be an encouragement to those who hear them.
And do not bring sorrow to God’s Holy Spirit by the way you live. Remember, he has identified you as his own, guaranteeing that you will be saved on the day of redemption.
Get rid of all bitterness, rage, anger, harsh words, and slander, as well as all types of evil behaviour.
Instead, be kind to each other, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God through Christ has forgiven you.

Jesus is coming back for a pure bride that has made herself ready, a white bride that’s unblemished (Revelation 19:7-8)

Pray this prayer with me:
Create in me a clean heart, O God;
and renew a right spirit within me.
Psalm 51:10

Titus 1:15
Everything is pure to those whose hearts are pure. But nothing is pure to those who are corrupt and unbelieving, because their minds and consciences are corrupted.

Matthew 5:8
Blessed are the pure in heart for they will see God.

Ephesians 4:22-24
throw off your old sinful nature and your former way of life, which is corrupted by list and deception. Instead let the spirit renew your thoughts and attitudes. Put on your new nature, created to be like God – truly righteous and holy.

 

 

 

THERE IS DOUBLE GRACE AVAILABLE FOR YOU RIGHT NOW

Instead of your shame you will have a double portion, And instead of humiliation they will shout for joy over their portion. Therefore they will possess a double portion in their land, Everlasting joy will be theirs. (Isaiah 61:7 NASB)

I feel the father pouring out double grace over his people in this season.
In areas where some have been hit hard with shame from perceived failure, in the areas of your life where there has been a contention, there is an invitation to draw near to Jesus and to yield to the father to allow him into those areas of your life. As you do, the double grace will be poured out into your spirit to bring new life again.

So what is grace?

I like to describe it as the feeling of ‘being given wings’ that you do not naturally possess.
As an example I’ll use the idea that angels are created with wings to fly. Humans on the other hand, are given 2 legs and a pair of shoes! However, when we receive God’s grace as a human, it’s as if he attaches heavenly wings to our back, defying gravity which allows us to soar higher than ‘humanly’ possible. It is the ability to do what you cannot do in your own strength, grace gives you the ability to do the impossible.

‘With people this is impossible, but with God all things are possible’ Matthew 19:26
We cannot control God’s grace, it’s undeserved and unearned. We can only allow the grace of God to work in our lives to do the supernatural. The ‘wings’ that we receive are operated by the Holy Spirit. Although they might be on our back, we are not given the ability to make the wings work. We do not flap the wings – that is God’s job, He is the power that makes them flap; either slow and gently or strong and fast. He decides when the wings will fly and when they will simply glide. We cannot work to make grace work for us.
So what part do we have to play in grace? Our job is to do the best that we can in our own strength and ability, remembering that we are created as powerful, creative and talented individuals simply by being made in His image. Then His job is to meet us where our abilities end and can go no further.

We do our part by stewarding our talents well and using the earthly resources and gifts that God has given us. Then He deposits grace to us beyond our natural abilities, to move us into breakthrough!

We need grace to walk in supernatural ways, to perform miracles and achieve those things which we cannot do in our own strength because grace is the thing that allows you to ‘fly’ when you thought you did not have wings. It empowers you to overcome what you thought you could not.

When the grace of God hits your life, it gives you access to be more than you can be naturally and instead gives you the open door into a new realm where ‘all things are possible for those who believe’ Mark 9:23

When you receive His grace, you are no longer contained by the law of gravity or the rules of what man can do in his own strength.

If you want to move in power and shift seemingly impossible circumstances, you need the grace of God for lift off. I want to encourage you today that there is hope for your situation in the exact area where you need the impossible to become the possible. In the area where you cannot see light at the end of the tunnel, where you feel confined or trapped – our God is able to do above and beyond all we can think and imagine and He is working in you and through you to accomplish His good will for your life.

I encourage you to partner with the grace of God that is being released right now in double portion. Receive it in faith and He will not let you down. His grace will empower you to step into the world where all things are possible. And when He sends the grace, I encourage you to make a conscious effort to be a good receiver and simply open your heart to accept what He gives – He knows exactly what you need.
Yield into your heavenly father, draw closer to Him into the secret place. Resurrect your prayer closet and receive your grace ‘wings’ today.

I release God’s love over you today, the empowerment to see yourself in the way He sees you; sons and daughters of grace, beauty and freedom. God’s double portion of grace is here and available for you.
