The Lord put it on my heart as I got to Auckland Airport this morning (early flight) to blog on this…

Since posting that post nearly four years ago I have seen how that light is shining forth…

I’ve reconnected with the Prophetic Intercessors group here in Christchurch and I can see clearly how through that group and an Indigenous Prayer Network over in Australia His light is shining forth – the unity between these two groups and other alliances which are occurring in prayer – is of the Lord…

The Lord is using this – and a light is shining forth to the ends of the earth from the ends of the earth…

I have been privileged to see this developing – I’ve also been privileged in these nearly four years to see an incredible deepening of His work in my heart – the picture He gave me last year at our Prayer Conference at Arthur’s Pass of the Lantern/Bier has been coming true in the nearly year since He gave it to me – without me doing anything to assist Him…

It has been messy at times but it is occurring…

And I’ve seen changes in my wife and in our children and their families…

We are blessed…

I also see a deepening in faith…

Those who come to Him have ceased from their work…

That scripture leapt out and hit me in the face the other night as I read a post which someone had stumbled across which I wrote quite some time back – it always blesses me to re-read a post that someone stumbles upon – when the Lord puts that on my heart…

My mind – my mind has been a battleground but I’m seeing that it is either Him or me…

Meaning either Him or me in my flesh…

My new self always supports, submits to and gives room and place to Him…

He is always offered the remaining seat by my new self…

He is the servant through me…

When I see that He – Eternal Life – wants to live through me – I am blessed…

Life becomes easy…

In the surrender to let Him – that is easy – once He’s got me to that place…

It’s messy before that – the flesh is fighting – the Holy Spirit fights back so that I can’t do what I want to in my flesh as His word says…

The light is shining forth – if God can bring order in my life He can bring order anywhere…

If He is beginning to bring order and submission in my family then He can bring order and submission anywhere – and I mean anywhere…

The light is shining forth in prayer and in the partnerships which God is creating here in Australasia – and wider afield…

The darkness seems dark but as His word says the light is shining – and the darkness cannot overpower the light…

The Lord shall arise – and already has – He has arisen and He will not sit down again – He will arise and He will complete the work which was on His Heart from the creation of the world – to have every tongue confessing and every knee bowing to Him – confessing Him as Lord and saying, “Only in the Lord are righteousness and strength” and “all my/our streams are in You”…

Praise Your Wonderful Name…
