a house of prayer for the nations

I’ve been doing quite a lot of thinking…

I suppose we all do… 🙂

Anyway, I’ve been doing quite a lot of thinking…

I like winning…

Paul did too… 🙂

But thanks be to God, who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and manifests through us the sweet aroma of the knowledge of Him in every place. (2 Corinthians 2:14 NASB)

I suppose all these thoughts subconsciously “came together” the other night when I was waiting in line at our shopping mall for my youngest daughter to buy a present for her friend…

In fact it was actually the Lord – so I suppose I really didn’t do any great thinking of my own after all… 🙂

Anyway…

As I stood there waiting I suddenly realized that to win all I had to do was find something that no one could compete with me in (if you have a sense of humour hopefully you’re laughing right now)… 🙂

If I wanted to do something and make something happen for myself, i.e. go out there and “make something happen”, then I’d always have opposition – I’ve seen so many times in my family that when I want “the last remaining food in the house” – even if I’ve been without food all day or whatever – as soon as I get it out of the cupboard – usually my youngest son will be “all over it” – even if I make it for myself he will ask for it – and it just seems that the Lord is “resisting” me – even if it seems that I have “a right”…

So I’ve realized or did that night – that the only way to win is to “come underneath” others – in every single way – and have no rights of my own and make my satisfaction or my goal to fulfil others purposes on this planet – not my own…

So I realised that God’s will for my life is to serve others purposes and fulfilment…

God has given others things which He wants them to accomplish – a call on their lives – and I am to “come underneath” – I already knew this in prayer – but didn’t realise that it needed to replace my own call and purpose – to “make it happen” for them…

Then there is no opposition…

For I have no one else of kindred spirit who will genuinely be concerned for your welfare. For they all seek after their own interests, not those of Christ Jesus. (Philippians 2:20-21 NASB)

Even in the Lord we all – most of us – seek after our own interests, i.e. “what’s God’s will for my life? what’s going to make me feel ‘all good’ inside?” – and I think this is normal as we grow in the Lord – we are excited that He has a ‘special plan’ ‘individually wrapped’ (which is true – don’t get me wrong) for our lives – and we focus on this and we are quite ‘self absorbed’ – and yet there is more (maturity begins to come as we see that there is more)…

Selfishness always leads to control and blocked selfishness always leads to anger – I’ve seen this in my little ‘role plays’ with my son over “the last remaining food in the house” (even when I’m hungry and he’s not – or doesn’t appear to be to me – maybe he was after all)… 🙂

When we come to that place – in joy – as the Lord gave me the other night – where we see that to serve and “come underneath” others in our family – in our immediate sphere of influence and support them – even if it’s not recognised – even if it’s not welcomed – even if it’s not acknowledged – but to do it anyway – this is serving the Lord – and there is no selfishness opposing it – no one is opposing it – and we are happy because we’ve “let go” of any other “call” on our lives other than to fulfil theirs…

Yes, the Lord can tell us to do things – that’s different – when He calls us to “get up” and “get out there” and do something we do that because He’s commanded/instructed – but while we’re waiting – as I have been – I can serve my family – my immediate family and like Jesus who loved us and laid His life down for us while we were still enemies – even if my family act like “enemies” at times I am to continue to show them Christ – to serve them – to be available to pray with them when they want to pray – to pray for them when they want me to pray for them – to help them practically when the Lord gives me a peace to do this – and to serve them and their vision in whatever way possible…

It’s hard – in fact its impossible – in families when the Lord has given you a vision and hasn’t given it to the rest of your family – to “make that vision happen”…

When He’s specifically told you not to share that vision with your family but to “hold on to it” and just to “be there” to agree with them in their prayers as He releases portions of that vision to them – it is the death of control – you want to “blurt it all out” but can’t…

It’s hard – but the Lord is with us and greater than that vision being known to them is that they see that we care about them and their vision – their wellbeing – for this reflects the Lord to them…

When we “let go” of “looking after” ourselves we start to see the Lord “coming through” to look after us – I had an experience of this the other night and it was quite powerful in the area of healing…

I’d been to Fiji – late October/early November – on a work conference and got some coral stuck in the bottom of my right foot which over time turned “toxic”…

I had one small operation to remove one piece and then another part nearby on my foot went “toxic” – I had a red line starting to “run” up my leg, etc, I had this both times…

The Lord had told me that He would heal me – and yet I still went to the doctor’s etc, and got antibiotics – He didn’t tell me not to so I went with my faith level (or lack of it)…

Anyway, we ran out of money a week before being paid just at the time when it came back and the antibiotics were giving me eczema so late one night knowing I wouldn’t be able to continue taking the pills as we didn’t really have any food I wanted to eat in the house or even any clean water (as I don’t drink Christchurch water after the earthquakes any more) in the house I lay awake there with the Lord and had one of those “deaths” – it was like – “oh well, what have I got to lose” and then He said to me never to take pills again and that again, He had healed me…

He’d told me He’d healed me as the first one was “blowing up” and now there was a second and this one could have been quite serious – but I believed Him and He worked faith in my heart as I submitted to Him – “by His stripes I was healed” – to be able to resist the devil and tell him to be gone…

Which I did without feeling like I had to “overextend” myself or go into “hype” or some other thing which never works…

Anyway, sure enough the foot started to heal – no antibiotics – He told me to soak it in salt water the next evening (I think it was) – then a whole lot of eczema like puss dripped out for a couple of days – and as of today – my wounds are pretty much healed up on the arch of my foot…

Praise the Lord…

He showed me that I “overstretched” myself in praying against some demonic stuff over in Fiji which is why that had “latched” onto my foot and it wasn’t healing – I let that go…

Anyway, all that to say – that as I let go of my “hopeless” situation and trusted Him – He came through…

My wife and I prayed about our “moneyless” situation also and the Lord gave us some money – unsolicited – through my parents and then the next day my Mum even randomly dropped in some food to me at work – Praise the Lord…

I was quite impressed… 🙂

Let go and the Lord starts “coming through”…

Thank You Jesus… 🙂

I see three stages or phases remaining in the life of the Church before our Lord, Jesus Christ, returns to reign from Jerusalem…

Establishment / Re-establishment

The Foundation – re-establishing the Foundation… The Prophetic… The roots – removing the debris… The Foundation is still there – weeds and debris and overgrowth have obscured the Foundation… The Foundation was laid by the Prophets and Apostles – the original Prophets and Apostles – and needs to be re-established… Perception and depth… Prophetic Vision needed to remove the roots – the demonic… The Foundation is Jesus Christ Himself – our Soon and Coming King and Overcomer of all on our, His Church’s, behalf…

Reconciliation / Restoration

The Church will be reconciled to each other – all over the world the Spirit will move in the spirit and power of Elijah to bring this reconciliation on the true Foundation of the Prophets and the Apostles – Jesus Christ Himself – His Sufficiency in all things in our lives – once this Foundation is re-established then reconciliation will occur – the world will be saved – not in condemnation – not in striving – not in fear – not in competition but in reconciliation and servanthood – and this restoration – this unity in the Church will create the peace – the environment – for the world to be saved… There is peace and friendship and unity and equality and intimacy in the Church and this “rubs off” on the world – showing them the love which Jesus showed us – leading them to salvation – mass salvation… The Holy Spirit will achieve all this in His – Jesus’ – Church…

Consummation / Endurance

The final phase is one of purity… The Church will be all that she has ever been meant to be… She will be Glorious and She will be Awesome – Awesome in Holiness and in Devotion to Her Lord… The falling away will take place where those will be born who do not know the Lord… Those who do know the Lord will be Refined and Pure in Virginal Purity – in Virginal Virility towards their Bridegroom the Lord Jesus Christ – they will be a Surrendered, Submissive, Overcoming Bride – and will not love their lives unto death – out of the abundance of His Love expressed in the Reconciliation / Restoration phase they will come out Strong and Simple and Pure in their love for the Lord and even in the presence of the man of lawlessness they will be Pure and Abandoned in their love for their Lord – they will stand as the Woman protected in the desert and they will stand in Purity and Endure until the end and be saved – a demonstration of the Purity of their love for their Lord – they will be caught up to be with Jesus as He descends to the air and then ride with Him as He comes down to stand on the Mount of Olives to Rule and Reign on earth for a thousand years… King of kings and Lord of lords – our Lord, Jesus Christ – the Humblest Man alive – and we, His Church, will be with Him – forever…

David had a system set up whereby God would be praised continuously from Jerusalem…

The Lord sits enthroned upon the praises of Israel…

I believe that the praise which David instigated was the cause of the Solomonic era – the reign of peace in that region and the prosperity which accompanied it…

Praise and worship towards the Lord dispels darkness…

It retrenches the darkness…

I have seen this…

And it will happen again…

“In that day I will raise up the fallen booth of David, And wall up its breaches; I will also raise up its ruins And rebuild it as in the days of old; That they may possess the remnant of Edom And all the nations who are called by My name,” Declares the LORD who does this. “Behold, days are coming,” declares the LORD, “When the plowman will overtake the reaper And the treader of grapes him who sows seed; When the mountains will drip sweet wine And all the hills will be dissolved. “Also I will restore the captivity of My people Israel, And they will rebuild the ruined cities and live in them; They will also plant vineyards and drink their wine, And make gardens and eat their fruit. “I will also plant them on their land, And they will not again be rooted out from their land Which I have given them,” Says the LORD your God. (Amos 9:11-15 NASB)

The Lord has been putting this phrase “Restoring David’s Fallen Tent” on my mind during this year…

He’s shown me that He wants this to happen from Jerusalem – right from the centre or heart of Jerusalem – He wants His Praise to be lifted up and I believe as it is that He will draw all men to Himself…

I really do…

“With this the words of the Prophets agree, just as it is written, ‘AFTER THESE THINGS I will return, AND I WILL REBUILD THE TABERNACLE OF DAVID WHICH HAS FALLEN, AND I WILL REBUILD ITS RUINS, AND I WILL RESTORE IT, SO THAT THE REST OF MANKIND MAY SEEK THE LORD, AND ALL THE GENTILES WHO ARE CALLED BY MY NAME,’ SAYS THE LORD, WHO MAKES THESE THINGS KNOWN FROM LONG AGO. (Acts 15:15-18 NASB)

The plan was that at some point in time David’s Fallen Tent would be restored – to the best of my knowledge this has not yet happened…

The Praise of God continuing steadfastly from Jerusalem…

Day and night without ceasing…

His Heart is there – He has told me this – His Heart and His Eyes are continually there…

“Now My eyes will be open and My ears attentive to the prayer offered in this place. “For now I have chosen and consecrated this house that My name may be there forever, and My eyes and My heart will be there perpetually. (2 Chronicles 7:15-16 NASB)

He is still in Jerusalem and He is still waiting for this praise to arise to His Name – He is waiting and He has been waiting…

And when it occurs “all the nations who are called by My Name” will be saved…

The plowman will overtake the reaper, the treader of grapes him who sows seed, the mountains will drip sweet wine – World Wide Revival – and all the hills will be dissolved – all the injustice of men – especially authority structures – will be annulled during this time of World Wide Revival…

I will be a part of this – this last move – to restore David’s Fallen Tent – and I sense that those of you who read this will be also…

We are not trying to restore the Physical Temple in Jerusalem – that is not what this is about – but we are restoring A House of Prayer for the Nations in Jerusalem…

He said that He would be attentive to “the prayer offered in this place” to Solomon and He will again be attentive to the prayer offered in this place – A House of Prayer for the Nations – in Jerusalem…

That was always His Plan – and He will achieve this plan in this final and chosen generation…

Last night at our Prophetic Intercessors group here in Christchurch the Lord got me to pray a prayer regarding David’s Fallen Tent and it’s restoration – I saw people coming from all over the world – like a core – a select core I’m getting now – to be involved with this – it’s establishment in Jerusalem…

Anointed Praise and Worship and Intercession continually arising to the Lord in Heaven – but He is there – He is right there and He has been waiting…

I prayed that the Lord would establish this and that the Presence of this worship would give those in the Knesset the wisdom and knowledge they needed to know how to respond to all that is occurring around them – even though they don’t know the Lord and I know – I sense – that this will happen…

Another lady prayed that the Lord would make up the breach around Jerusalem of Intercessors, that Intercessors would be raised up to make up the breach around Jerusalem – I agree and agreed with this prayer…

One New Man – this must be done in unity by all who know the Lord from all around the world – I believe there will be representatives present there from every nation under heaven – as on the Day of Pentecost – and that God will bless the unity of His People…

Father, establish Your Will – Your Will be done on earth as it is in Heaven – we agree with You for the establishment of Your will – You began something on the Day of Pentecost and they were praising You continually in the Temple but then it was “discontinued” and now it needs to be “restored” – and it will be in this chosen generation – You choose the “temple” which You want Lord – the physical locality which You want for this “gathering” to take place – You know that I’ve had the Mount of Olives on my heart – I don’t know if this is the “location” which You have in Mind – but I know You have something in Mind and I pray that it would be established in Your Time – that You would “make it happen” in Your Time and for Your Glory – I give all my ideas to You – and pray that You would establish Your own – Love You Lord – Glorify Your Name in all the earth – and release revelation on this to all Your People who You have chosen to be involved with this vision – in Jesus Name I pray, Amen – Glorify Your Name in all the earth…

Establish Your Plan and let us marvel – not by might, nor by power but by Your Spirit – establish Your Plan – the treasures of darkness released to us – and let us all marvel…

“I will give you the treasures of darkness And hidden wealth of secret places, So that you may know that it is I, The LORD, the God of Israel, who calls you by your name. (Isaiah 45:3 NASB)

I have a lot of pain in my heart…

The Lord is judging the spirit of control – or witchcraft – and I am feeling the pain…

He hates the spirit of control – there is a spirit which has been in operation in His Church – which has tried to control the finances of the people of God…

This is an abomination to the Lord…

He hates this…

God loves a cheerful giver…

He does not put pressure on us to give – there is not a ‘secret agenda’ – no ‘gun at our head’ – but this spirit does…

It ‘twists’ things to make us feel ‘second class’ if we are not giving towards ‘its’ agenda – ‘its’ agenda because it is not the Lord’s agenda – it is the agenda of that spirit exercising control over that Church – ruling in that area of the Churches life – and if another spirit is ruling in an area of the Churches life and not the Holy Spirit then there is a death in the spirit in this area in the life of that Church…

As leaders of the Church of God we must ‘stand clear’ of this spirit…

We must ‘stand clear’ of all control with respect to finances – unless the Lord builds the house – anything else is the spirit of control and what is controlled is not free – the gun is pointed at our heads – and the Lord doesn’t like this…

If the Lord has not worked generosity in your heart – for whatever reason – or He has not called you to give (financially) – for whatever reason – at this point in time to your local congregation please – in the Name of the Lord – do not take on guilt from this spirit – for this is what it is – a ‘guilt producing’ – ‘expectation producing’ – ‘striving producing’ – spirit…

Do not take on guilt…

That is what is in control…

Do not be blind to that – but see it for what it is…

There is so much of this in the Church of God…

We are awaiting the true miraculous…

“What is the true miraculous Andrew?”, you might ask…

The true miraculous is when God gives money without us asking anyone for money…

When God sets His seal over a vision or a ministry and people are directed directly by God to give to that ministry or to that vision without being ‘asked’ or ‘guilt-tripped’ or ‘manipulated’ by man to give in any way, shape or form…

It doesn’t have to be verbal – it can be an unspoken expectation – if this spirit is ruling over a Church or a ministry or a vision – then you will feel compelled – not a godly compelling – to give out of ‘duty’ and out of ‘guilt’ – and if you don’t you will be ‘pushed away’ by this spirit and made to feel ‘outside the club’ – ‘excluded’ – ‘expelled’ – ‘second-class citizen’ – and like you don’t belong – that spirit doesn’t want you there because it wants ‘clones’ there – those who will do and say exactly what it wants them to do and say – and you cannot ‘buy into’ that…

You cannot…

Flee…

Get out…

Uphold them – that Church – in prayer but do not ‘come under’ that spirit – flee…

If the presence of that spirit – the spirit of witchcraft or control – is necessary to ‘run’ that Church then that Church is being ‘choked’ – whether they realise it or not – by that spirit and if you can see it – and feel it in your spirit (the Prophetic among us will see it and feel it – they will be the first to “see”) – then you need to ‘get out’…

Pray from the outside…

Pray from the outside…

Pray from the outside and complete the burden which the Lord has given you…

Once you see that a spirit other than the Holy Spirit is ‘ruling’ over a Church and if the Lord is not giving you authority in that place, i.e. the authority in that place cannot see it and does not want to change, i.e. are happy with the way things are, then you have to leave, you have done the best that you can and you need to continue to pray ‘from the outside’…

Distance yourself so as not to ‘come under’ that control – you cannot agree with it – you cannot otherwise you will ‘come under’ it…

But continue to pray for the Lord’s will to be done and continue to wait for the true Supernatural to be released…

The Supernatural which needs nothing from any man but which trusts solely in the Lord…

What is ‘built’ by that spirit – the spirit of control or witchcraft – will not stand – and is not enduring – it is not being built by the Lord as it has to be ‘propped up’ with control…

What the Lord builds has ‘no regrets’ – ‘no pressure’ – no ‘gun at your head’ – no ‘unspoken expectations’ – set us free Lord from the spirit of control – the spirit of witchcraft – and let us find our fulfilment in You Alone…

Whatever You want to do in this world Lord – fund it from Your abundant supply of riches – give us the hidden treasures of darkness as Your word says – let the wealth of the wicked be stored up for the Righteous – we are seeking You to do Your work in Your way with ‘no strings attached’ – ‘no strings attached’ – You are aware what I am talking about Lord – set us free so that we truly have ‘no strings attached’ in all our dealings in Your House in Jesus Name…

Set us free so that we see Your Abundant, Supernatural Provision flowing in our lives…

I want this Lord – this is what I want – Your Abundant, Supernatural Provision flowing in my life – Thank You Jesus – I feel the Joy – Thank You Jesus that You are ‘all over this’ and that You will provide in Jesus Name…

In our marriages Lord and in our families and in our Churches and in our employment and in our extended families Lord – break all the ties to the spirit of control or witchcraft – and set us free – break these ties Lord – cut them and remove them forever – in the Mighty Name of Jesus – I am feeling the Joy – so that we can walk blameless before You – blameless before You – Holiness – Speak the Blood over our lives and let all the results of witchcraft in our lives ‘fall off’ in the Mighty Name of Jesus – ‘fall off’ forever and stay ‘off’ in the Mighty Name of Jesus…

Praise You Jesus…

I am ‘feeling the Joy’…

Hallelujah!!!

🙂

The heavens are the heavens of the Lord, But the earth He has given to the sons of men.  The dead do not praise the Lord, Nor do any who go down into silence; But as for us, we will bless the Lord From this time forth and forever. Praise the Lord! (Psalm 115:16-18 NASB)

I will not die, but live, And tell of the works of the Lord. The Lord has disciplined me severely, But He has not given me over to death. Open to me the gates of righteousness; I shall enter through them, I shall give thanks to the Lord. (Psalm 118:17-19 NASB)

The heavens are the heavens of the Lord but the earth He gave to the sons of men…

And the dead will not praise You…

But we – those who have been blessed by the Lord – are not given over to death but instead we shall praise Him and He will inhabit our praises and our praises will release Him to do His will in this earth – which belongs to us – as He has given it to us – and we are to present it back to Him – to allow and welcome His Presence here – in His earth – which He has committed to us – to welcome His Presence – so that – in the spirit – He can come here and reign…

The Lord says to my Lord: “Sit at My right hand Until I make Your enemies a footstool for Your feet.” The Lord will stretch forth Your strong scepter from Zion, saying, “Rule in the midst of Your enemies.” Your people will volunteer freely in the day of Your power; In holy array, from the womb of the dawn, Your youth are to You as the dew. (Psalm 110:1-3 NASB)

Sit at My Right Hand until…

The Lord will extend His Strong Scepter from Zion…

His people will volunteer freely in the day of His Power…

This is the day in which we are entering…

The day of His Power…

And from the womb of the dawn we are volunteering to go back to the daughter of Zion and proclaim to her, “Your God Reigns”…

Father now, in Jesus Name, I pray that You would release Your angels over this house and over our dwelling – I pray that You would release Your angels over all who will read this – all who You draw to this website to read this – and also Father I pray for Your covering over this website and every other related website – like Youtube to which I post videos – and I pray for an entrance of Your word to bring truth – I pray for a ‘clear channel’ to the hearts and souls of all who come here to see and hear truth and I pray for the Fire of God to be present here to consume all darkness – all darkness in me – all darkness in any who comment or read here and all darkness in any who come here for any other reason other than to be edified in Jesus Christ…

Father, establish the Blood over us all – all those who have ‘lined themselves up’ under You – cover us all with the Blood and let the exploits of God begin to be practiced by us in the power of Your Holy Spirit as You speak into our hearts and reveal Your truth to our spirits and to our souls and to our very hearts – the core of our beings – our very ‘insides’ – our innermost beings…

Speak now Father – and I welcome You – Your truth right to the centre – to the core of the earth – as I saw that picture of You going to the very core of the earth and speaking Your Fire – speak Your Fire now Father to the very core of the earth – to the very core of this earth – speak Your Fire and let Your Fire burn right to the very core of this earth…

Let Your Fire burn…

Let Your Fire burn…

Let Your Fire burn…

I speak release to Your Fire to burn right to the very core of this earth – and let this earth – let this earth burn with Your Fire Lord – and let all within it burn Lord with Your Fire – let our land be healed – be healed with Your Fire – in Jesus Mighty Name…

Healed by Your Fire – burn away wickedness from this earth Lord – burn away unrighteousness from this earth – let this earth be filled with Your Glory – filled with Your Glory and let no presence of evil remain in this earth – wherever evil is dwelling Lord in any presence or form anywhere in this earth – right to the core – let it be burned away…

Burnt away…

Let it dwell here no longer – all the angelic host Lord – release them to fight and remove the demonic host from this earth – wherever they are hiding – right to the core of the earth – let them be removed…

The earth is the Lord’s and the fullness thereof…

Let it be so…

I welcome You Father, Jesus, Lord Holy Spirit, all the angels of God – the elect angels – to make it so…

Go Lord…

Go Lord…

Go Lord…

Make it so…

Make it so…

Make it so…

We have nothing else to live for but You – and besides You there in nothing on earth which we desire – so fill this earth Father – fill this earth with Your Glory as the waters cover the sea – fill this earth with Your Glory…

Worship You Lord – fill this earth with Your Glory – worship You Lord – fill this earth with Your Glory – fill it – saturate it with Your Glory…

You are a great and mighty God and Your Name is the Lord…

We have given ourselves to You – come Lord Jesus and take Your Place…

Take Your Place Lord Jesus – take Your Place – Your Place at the Head of Your Army as we march to take the land – in surrender to You – in surrender to You – what can we do? – nothing – but we can surrender to You and release You to go before us with Your drawn Sword and take the authority over the works of darkness which You have already won – You have already won – take the supremacy Lord – take the supremacy and reign – let the ruling spirits and powers and authorities which have already been dethroned and de-powered and de-authorized now be removed – practically – from their positions over territories and people groups and cities and family groups and generational iniquities and any other pattern of evil or any other curse which has not been spoken in the Name of the Lord by the Lord Himself…

Let the curses be broken and now let Righteousness exalt our nations…

Let our nations be exalted in Righteousness Lord…

In Your Righteousness alone…

Yours Alone…

Come Lord Jesus and take Your Place right to the centre – to the core – of this earth and let there be an explosion of Your Fire – from the core – right from the core and let it spread throughout this earth – let all the plans of the enemy be destroyed – all the ‘resting places’ of the enemy be destroyed and let him be removed – practically – from his presence in this earth – and let the heavens pour down salvation – let the heavens pour down salvation and let Your righteousness ‘spring up’ from the earth – from the earth which Your Fire has consecrated to Your Name…

Your earth responded when righteous blood – from Abel – was spilt on it – let it now respond as Righteousness permeates it from Your Fire – poured out in the centre – to the very core – of this earth – and let the whole world be destroyed in the Fire of Your Jealousy – and when I say destroyed I mean ‘cleansed’ – I mean ‘purified’ – I mean ‘made holy’ in the Name of Jesus to receive her coming King – Jesus will reign on this present earth – not the new heavens and new earth – for a thousand years and that time is very nearly upon us…

He must reign in heaven unto his enemies are made a footstool for His feet – when Your Feet Lord Jesus touch down on the Mount of Olives – let them be clean – and let them – the Mount of Olives – be consecrated to You – along with the entire earth – even though the man of lawlessness will have just been on earth – let this earth still be clean – in Jesus Mighty Name – still be clean to receive her ‘Soon and Coming King’ – Jesus…

Let salvation fall from heaven – let the earth spring forth righteousness and let nothing – no demonic entity – be hidden from Your Sight or remain in or on earth in this chosen generation as Your Salvation spreads to the ends of the earth and all the enemies of the Lord are made a footstool for Your Feet…

All Your enemies Lord – all of them – remove them from this earth – in Jesus Mighty Name…

And let this earth be filled with the Righteousness of God…

Alone…

In purity and in justice and without striving let us be filled with all the Righteousness of God…

Amen Lord…

Do it…

Thank You Jesus…

Do it Lord…

Thank You Lord…

You are a Wonderful Father and we worship You…

Alone…

And we desire nothing but You and Your Presence with us on this earth…

If I sharpen My flashing sword, And My hand takes hold on justice, I will render vengeance on My adversaries, And I will repay those who hate Me. (Deuteronomy 32:41 NASB)

The face of the LORD is against evildoers, To cut off the memory of them from the earth. (Psalm 34:16 NASB)

I have a heavy heart…

I have seen the Sword of the Lord in His Hand against the spirit of witchcraft…

He is presently judging this spirit right across this earth…

This morning as I prayed before Him I also saw the spirit of religion and the anti-Christ spirit being judged and the bath emptied of them – I saw the water level in the bath lowering and these spirits swirling down towards the plughole…

The reason I have a heavy heart is that I know that there will be collateral damage amongst the people of God – I know there will be…

But it is His time…

He has decided to judge this spirit – the spirit of witchcraft – and along with it the spirit of religion – the religious spirit – and the spirit of anti-Christ – the anti-Christ spirit – they will be removed from this earth…

There is a time coming where the earth will know the Salvation of God – there is – it is right on the doorstep – and He is preparing the way with the removal of these spirits from this earth…

Earlier on this week as I lay in bed one night after work I saw the enemy in a picture – he looked ugly – and he was standing staring at me from a distance – I was protected with the dome of the Lord’s Presence – and he – the enemy – knew that he could not touch me – I’d never seen this before – he hated me – his eyes were a deep but steady (not out of control) hatred – a simmering hatred – but he knew he couldn’t touch me but he was just waiting for an opportunity – and that was when the Lord showed me that he would always hate me – he would never love me and I knew that he was just waiting for me to strive or trust myself or take some glory to myself so he could ‘trip me up’…

The Lord is serious about the removal of these spirits from this earth – He is asking us who’s side we are on – it is time to ‘line up’ – who’s side are we on?

I have been ‘going through this’ with the Lord…

He is the God of all flesh and our very life breath is in His Hands…

but you have exalted yourself against the Lord of heaven; and they have brought the vessels of His house before you, and you and your nobles, your wives and your concubines have been drinking wine from them; and you have praised the gods of silver and gold, of bronze, iron, wood and stone, which do not see, hear or understand. But the God in whose hand are your life-breath and your ways, you have not glorified. (Daniel 5:23 NASB)

I saw the Sword in His Hand and He told me that it is now judging the spirit of witchcraft in this earth – people are going to be judged also if they are not ‘free’ (‘standing clear’) of this spirit – people especially in places of authority in either His Church or in society as a whole – it is the authority structures which He is wanting to purge so that all under these authority structures will be ‘protected’ and be able to flourish in this world in His Hand…

He has been patient…

He has been very patient but now it is time for Him to act…

It was an attack against my little son Zechariah from this spirit which alerted me to the fact that He is now going to judge this spirit – of witchcraft – in this world…

I love my son – He is a Prophet – the Lord has told me this – and he is young and can not defend himself – and something in me ‘rose up’ as I saw that he was being attacked by this spirit and I defended him in the Lord and then the Lord showed me that His Sword was in His Hand and He was now going to judge this spirit in this world – He is a Father to us who do not want any part of this spirit – a much Greater Father than I am to my little son Zechariah…

And then He reminded me of the meaning of our little son’s name – Zechariah means, “The Lord has remembered” and He showed me the significance of this and also my favourite verse from that book, “‘Not by might, nor by power but by My Spirit’, saith the Lord”…

This is the antidote to the spirit of witchcraft – everything done in the power and timing of the Holy Spirit…

We can do nothing – we just wait for Him to act – and when He does – we just ‘follow along’ and watch what He is doing and agree with Him – releasing Him to perform His Judgements on earth…

The god of this earth has been judged (through the life, death, resurrection and ascension of Jesus to the Father’s Right Hand) and now the Spirit is ‘mopping up’ his activity so that we can experience His Salvation – the dome of His Presence needs to be established over our earth – and it presently is being established over our earth (it is established in the spirit but is being established in the natural) – in this place we will know and understand the truth and experience the liberty which He brings – Praise You Lord Jesus – and the gods of this earth will be starved as His word says…

There is a harvest so great that no one can number it – so great that it is unimaginable – but so great that all the Church will need to be in unity to harvest it – it is the harvest of the ages and the Fullness of the Gentiles will be reaped through it – and it is coming – after this judgement – this spiritual judgement – is complete it will come – it will be ‘evidenced’ on this earth – it will be – I know this…

Praise You Jesus…

Set Your Banner High…

The Lovingkindness of God…

The Justice of God and the Righteousness of God…

These three things which You exercise on this earth and in which You delight…

but let him who boasts boast of this, that he understands and knows Me, that I am the LORD who exercises lovingkindness, justice and righteousness on earth; for I delight in these things,” declares the LORD. (Jeremiah 9:24 NASB)

Exercise Lovingkindness, Justice and Righteousness on earth Lord – exercise them – I give You permission – go for it Lord – release Your Powerful Presence on this earth to exercise the things in which You delight…

We know that You don’t just delight in Lovingkindness – even though we know “love does not delight in evil” but we welcome Your Justice, we welcome Your Righteousness – Your Gift of Righteousness has saved us but let us become practically Righteous in Your Name – let Your Power be upon us to abandon all effort to be Righteous but just to relax, ‘hang limp’, cease striving in You to know Your Power made perfect in our weakness… 🙂

Yes Lord…

Come through for us Lord – for all of us waiting for You in this way – bowed down in this way – waiting for You to ‘come through’ – ‘come through’ for us Lord…

Praise You…

Many Prophets have prophesied of this day – there is Fire coming – we must walk in Your Fire – allowing Your Fire to have its way in us – we do not control Your Fire – You do – just like surfing a wave we are to remain effortlessly in Your Fire and let it take us wherever You want it to go…

We are just ‘going along for the ride’ – our desire is to see You – we just want to be where You are…

That’s it, Praise You Jesus… 🙂

And we will be – I see this – I know this – we will be… 🙂

The Joy is Coming – we are protected – those of us who have run to You to be our Everything in this world – in this life – we are being protected by Your Fire – we are on the ‘inside’ and being protected and transformed by Your Fire – by Your Refining Fire – we are protected – but we are not to return to folly…

I will hear what God the LORD will speak: for he will speak peace unto his people, and to his saints: but let them not turn again to folly. (Psalm 85:8 NASB)

Folly is self effort…

Those who trust in flesh are cursed by the Lord…

Thus says the LORD, “Cursed is the man who trusts in mankind And makes flesh his strength, And whose heart turns away from the LORD. (Jeremiah 17:5 NASB)

We must stay in our trust in the Lord – He is our Righteousness and our Redemption – all of our hope is in Him – none in ourselves or in our own performance – we cannot protect ourselves – only He can – this is where our rest is – this is where our peace is – an absence of anxiety or fear – this is where we are safe and secure…

Only He holds us here…

We are in His Hands…

Judge this spirit Lord – the spirit of witchcraft – judge the spirit of religion and the anti-Christ spirit after this Lord – begin to judge them when Your time comes – and it’s already begun as I saw this morning – it’s already begun…

The pride that has hidden behind these spirits – the pride of the enemy – judge him Lord in this earth…

The Son of God appeared for this purpose, to destroy the works of the devil. (1 John 3:8b NASB)

Judge pride Lord and remove it from this earth – judge the enemy and remove him from this earth – remove his influence and destroy his works…

Now Lord – destroy his works…

He cannot ‘touch us’…

As we are sheltering in Your Blood – yes, we know ‘overall’ he can’t touch us at all in terms of our new creation but as we are sheltering in the Blood – knowing our position in Christ – he can’t ‘touch us’ practically either – we are ‘free’ of his works and can worship You as You practically transform us without condemnation or fear…

Thank You Lord – let Your Blood – Your Righteousness – cover us all and remove all wickedness from us in Jesus Name – let us be pure for You – a pure Bride – in Jesus Name – let us delight Your Heart in the Mighty Name of Jesus – Thank You Lord… 🙂

The deep things of the heart…

I feel to blog on this today…

There are deep things of the heart – so deep that we don’t even dare to mention them even to ourselves – they have a sort of mystique or fear about them – a false sort of reverence which we hold them in which makes us “hushed” as we think about them…

These are the idols of our heart…

They need to be exposed and they need to be dislodged…

These are the things which hold us back from “taking” our destiny in God – they are…

We don’t even realise how we “shrink back” from what God is really calling us to achieve…

We blame God and say our lives are boring and without meaning and we’re wandering aimlessly around not going anywhere or getting anywhere – no progress – and yet we fail to realise that these deep things – the deep things of the heart – are the reason that this is happening – God wants to deal with these deep things – the deep things of the heart…

As you’ve read so far I believe the Lord has told me that you’ll know what I’m talking about – it will be different things for different people – no two people are exactly the same or have exactly the same struggles – this is the way it is – God has made us each uniquely – we are each precious to Him and He has a plan – a perfect plan – for our lives – if we are willing to yield them to Him…

This is the “catch” – are we willing to yield them to Him?

I am talking to those who don’t yet know Him but I am also talking to those who already know Him – are we willing to yield these deep things – deep things of the heart – to Him?

Are we?

For if we aren’t we are limiting ourselves and our fulfilment in God…

We are limiting Him and thus we are limiting others for He has a plan for us to impact others – whom He places us in contact with – with our love for Him…

If we don’t Love Him enough to let Him be the Surgeon in our lives – then we have limited Him and we will die of our wounds…

They will become infected, “puss out” and eventually kill us…

Remove us from this earth…

There is no other Surgeon on this earth like our Surgeon – He is Perfect and His Scalpel is true…

He never makes a mistake – His surgery might hurt but it is worthwhile – it is not worth hiding from Him – He will find us and He will offer us His Surgery – He will not force it on us – He will give us the choice…

Are we willing to choose Him?

His operation in our lives?

It might be painful – most likely it will be – it won’t be pleasant but afterward there will be great joy – great rejoicing and great freedom – are we willing for this?

Are we willing?

The Lord has been going to the heart with me – He has been “going after” the deep things in my heart – I’m sure there are still some left – but He has been “going after” them and what He has shown me is that He is always willing for me to be honest with Him…

He will never chastise me for being honest – never…

In my honesty He shows me His tenderness and His Gentleness and His Patience…

His Tenderness..

Beautiful…

“You thought I was a hard man”…

That speaks volumes…

We can have that attitude towards God…

Thinking Him a hard man…

“Gotta watch out what you say to God”…

No you don’t…

Just be honest with Him and He will woo you in…

He will – He’s done this with me…

Wooed me in – it doesn’t surprise Him when we tell Him our “dark secrets” – He knows them all anyway – He can handle it – but what He can’t handle is us lying to Him or lying in His Presence – He doesn’t like this – at all (I feel His displeasure towards lying as I type this) – He hates lying…

He wants us to “face up” and “come clean” before Him…

Before we “come clean” before anyone else He calls us to “come clean” before we must have first “come clean” before Him – admitted to Him our deep “fantasies” and “longings” and “desires” and all other things which we keep “bottled down there” somewhere in the deep recesses of our hearts…

We are a triune being – spirit, soul and body and these things dwell in the depth of our hearts – our souls – not our righteous souls if we know the Lord – but in what used to be us before we died and our lives were hidden with Christ in God – the residual of what we used to be – “sin which dwells in me”…

These things reside down there and they have demonic support – that’s where the mystique or “reverence” towards them come from – we know if we “upset that apple cart” there will be repercussions and because we’re afraid of those these issues stay “off the radar” in our subconscious mind until the Surgeon arrives to operate…

Once He arrives we can’t get rid of facing these realities – He brings circumstances to bear – He brings His word to bear – He brings our brothers and sisters in the Lord to bear – we just can’t escape these realities but if we resist Him when He comes – when He comes to “sort out” these realities then we will miss His will for our lives…

How do we not resist Him?

We yield…

We admit that we can’t do anything but resist Him…

We admit defeat…

We hold up our “white flag”…

And we don’t do this “case by case” – once we’re aware of this we do it “hollis bollis” – all at once – we commit it all to the Lord like Paul did, “I know that He is able to keep that which I’ve committed unto Him against that day” – and we let Him “go to it” – a bit like a patient signing off before an operation giving the doctor permission to do whatever He needs to do – you’re or we’re signing away our lives…

That’s what we need to do – then when we hear all kinds of insanities coming out of us – or profanities – or whatever – we see that He is at work removing these deep, murky, “foundational” lies and structures from our lives so we can see Him and breathe His clean air of freedom…

For His air is clean and it is free – His oxygen – His oxygen mask is clean and free and we’re “out” for the operation so to speak – yes it might still hurt – but comparatively we’re “out” for the operation and He takes over…

Praise You Jesus…

You never cease to amaze me – and I’m only just beginning in my knowledge of You…

Love You…

Love to all who read,

Andrew

I was on the way in to work this morning and I saw that Authority flows through Submission…

I saw the Father and that the Father was the Greatest Authority there was – and that Jesus was submitted to the Father – so the Authority of the Father was flowing through Jesus…

And then I saw myself submitted to Jesus and so Jesus’ Authority – which is the Authority of the Father – was flowing through me…

And then I saw my wife submitted to me and so my Authority – which is the Authority of Jesus – which is the Authority of the Father – is flowing through her…

My wife has submitted to my authority…

She has taken her place…

We are lined up…

We are moving…

It is exciting…

There is real peace and expectancy in this place – everybody “lined up” as they are meant to be…

It has been free – she has done this of her own accord…

The Lord has done this in her heart…

I have chosen her above every other female on the planet to be my wife…

She knows my love for her…

She is protected…

There is unity in this place…

This happened yesterday…

There is a similar principle with the Apostle, Prophet, Evangelist, Pastor & Teacher – as we line ourselves up under these giftings then their authority flows through us also – in exactly the same way as the principle of the Father, Jesus, me and my wife…

These giftings are blessings for the Church and as we line ourselves up underneath them – receiving the Anointing of God through them – then we are released to operate in these giftings as the Holy Spirit releases to each one…

So we see that impartation comes through a decision to line up under – we make that decision – so as we line up under we find the Anointing flowing through us…

Beautiful principle…

Submission to authority…

Being in the flow of the Anointing…

The Lord has told my wife and I that He wants us to move out of our present accommodation – we are renting – and this will occur at the beginning of next year – we’ve just let our landlord know today – and there’s a release of expectation that the Lord will provide as we wait before Him in unity and in submission – it’s a beautiful thing… 🙂

Worship is the antidote for the anti-Christ spirit…

The very thing which the enemy was responsible for before he fell…

He fell into pride…

Jezebel, the Religious spirit, the anti-Christ spirit…

I see them as Jezebel then above Jezebel the Religious spirit and then above the Religious spirit the anti-Christ spirit…

At the heart of it all is our worship – our focus…

I’m defining worship as focus…

What we look at…

What we think about…

Who we are focused on…

My eyes are towards You continually…

I believe that’s a scripture…

My eyes are continually toward the LORD, For He will pluck my feet out of the net. (Psalm 25:15 NASB)

The degree to which this is true in our lives is the degree to which we are free from the anti-Christ spirit…

I have been walking through this with the Lord…

There’s a scripture from Psalm 91 which shows us that if we dwell in the Shadow of the Most High we are protected…

The Lord has been giving me Psalm 84 over and over and over for the last month or more…

This is where He wants me to live…

I have been resisting – I am being honest – I’ve been aware that there’s been resistance in me as it means death for me to live in His Presence…

“That’s strange”, you may say…

Well not really as that’s the core of the resistance which caused Lucifer to fall – and that’s the core of the resistance which has reigned in Adam since he disobeyed God and chose to live in the presence of his fallen wife – the Jezebel spirit – rather than in the Presence of God…

We do all manner of “good” things – the Religious spirit – as a substitute for focusing on God – we “bag” others to make ourselves feel better about ourselves but we still feel this void – this void – this aching void – which is a lack of the worship of God in our lives…

The worship of God is what we were created for – I’m not just talking about singing here – I’m talking about our focus – what goes on in our minds – what goes on in our thoughts – what we dream about – what we see ourselves daydreaming about – what we wish for – what we keep “locked down there” somewhere where we hope no one will ever see it – we don’t even want to see it ourselves but we know we’ve got it “in reserve” just in case anything really tragic happens – our “plan b” so to speak…

Well, whatever we’re focusing on which isn’t the Lord is worshipping or being controlled by the anti-Christ spirit – including a whole lot of what we do – and say – in the Name of God…

Any focus which is not Christ Himself – with us and Him standing alone with no one in between in unbroken fellowship, with Him telling us what He wants us to do and with us responding without leaving that Presence – that Glory Cloud of His Presence – but going and doing what He has said still in that cocoon of His Presence and still carrying His Fragrance with us – anything we do outside of that is under the control of the anti-Christ spirit…

Even though we will take our part in the Body and encourage the whole Body to enter this Glory Cloud – and even though they will – it will always be about a unique relationship with the Lord in our spirit from which He’ll tell us how He wants us to interact with the Body and with the world – still in that Glory Cloud of His Presence…

Jesus did this – He was always beholding the Lord in His Presence…

Jesus lived in the Glory Cloud of His Presence…

Moses spent a lot of time there and Joshua even more…

He has been calling me to enter this Glory Cloud – nothing mystical – just communing with Him in unbroken fellowship – His fellowship with me is unbroken but mine with Him not so much…

He is calling for unbroken fellowship with me on my side – His side is fine…

And He’s told me that He’s willing to wait…

That really broke me when He told me that last week…

He told me that I could come as close to Him as I wanted – that really encouraged me to reach out and set me free from striving…

Feeling time pressure has always been a problem to me – He is waiting for me and I am coming…

I am – again this morning He reminded me and I admitted the resistance – the resistance I’ve always felt and He has taken it – He’s told me that He’s taken it – He’s heard my heart – I want to come – and that’s enough for Him – He’ll do the rest – I don’t have strive…

There is no other focus once we enter this place – it is Him alone…

And we will find – learn – that He is Enough…

Thank You Jesus…

So there remains a Sabbath rest for the people of God. (Hebrews 4:9 NASB)

I’ve put the above quotation in green as it reminds me of growth… 🙂

There remains a Sabbath rest for the people of God…

Who are the people of God which the writer – Paul I believe – is referring to?

It is us – those who know Jesus Christ and have surrendered to Him to make our lives what He wants them to be…

Jesus is the Lord of the Sabbath…

And He also defined what was OK to do on the Sabbath when the Scribes and Pharisees had a crack at His disciples for eating grain as they walked through the fields on the Sabbath…

Man is not for the Sabbath but the Sabbath is for man…

Jesus fulfilled the Sabbath…

That is why it does not practically remain to this day – He fulfilled the Law of the Sabbath…

We fulfil the Law of the Sabbath by resting in Jesus – not one day a week but every second of every minute of every hour of every day of every week of every month of every year of our lives…

As we rest in Jesus we fulfil the Sabbath…

And the promise of Isaiah 56 is then for us…

The Lord gave me Isaiah 56 a month or so ago and showed me this and I just haven’t had the chance to share it yet…

http://biblesuite.com/hebrew/7676.htm

Thus says the LORD, “Preserve justice and do righteousness, For My salvation is about to come And My righteousness to be revealed. “How blessed is the man who does this, And the son of man who takes hold of it; Who keeps from profaning the sabbath, And keeps his hand from doing any evil.” Let not the foreigner who has joined himself to the LORD say, “The LORD will surely separate me from His people.” Nor let the eunuch say, “Behold, I am a dry tree.” For thus says the LORD, “To the eunuchs who keep My sabbaths, And choose what pleases Me, And hold fast My covenant, To them I will give in My house and within My walls a memorial, And a name better than that of sons and daughters; I will give them an everlasting name which will not be cut off. “Also the foreigners who join themselves to the LORD, To minister to Him, and to love the name of the LORD, To be His servants, every one who keeps from profaning the Sabbath And holds fast My covenant; Even those I will bring to My holy mountain And make them joyful in My house of prayer. Their burnt offerings and their sacrifices will be acceptable on My altar; For My house will be called a house of prayer for all the peoples.” The Lord GOD, who gathers the dispersed of Israel, declares, “Yet others I will gather to them, to those already gathered.” (Isaiah 56:1-8 NASB)

There remains a Sabbath rest for the people of God and we – those of us who believe in Jesus – are now – and always have been in the spirit – the people of God…

I am a eunuch…

And so are you if you are devoted to the Lord…

What?

Yes, even if you are married – you are a eunuch if you are devoted to the Lord – surrendered to the Lord…

You are…

We are the ones – those of us who are surrendered to the Lord – who are being talked about in this passage – our burnt offerings – our lives on the altar – and our sacrifices – our daily surrender to His will as He leads us – are acceptable to the Lord in His House – in His temple…

There is a day coming when from Jerusalem literally His House will be called a House of Prayer for all nations…

For all the peoples – as He says…

Literally this will happen…

The Lord will gather Intercessors – eunuchs – for that is what an Intercessor is – someone devoted to the Lord in all things – an offering on the altar – their own lives over – to go to Jerusalem to be a part of this House which He is forming…

Literally His House – His Temple – and I’m not speaking of another temple like Solomon’s here although that will be rebuilt at some stage right near the end – but a Living Temple of Intercessors – yes, they will meet in one place – there will be a meeting place – will “come together” from all around the world – those who have “joined themselves to the Lord” and His House will be called a House of Prayer for all the peoples…

Why?

Because He is going to save the world…

From Jerusalem the call will go forth – the Intercession will be made – He – Jesus – made the Intercession from the cross – His Blood was shed – His Heart pled for forgiveness – and now in this chosen generation He will raise up Intercessors who will cry out with their very lives – to see this prophetic reality come to pass…

His House will be called a House of Prayer for all the peoples – from Jerusalem we will see it and from Jerusalem we will see it in this chosen generation…

He is gathered it together – He is gathering us together…

He is putting this on our hearts…

Giving us a desire to fulfil His word…

His word in scripture…

And we will…

Because He will do it…

He will make it happen…

Yet others will I gather to them to those already gathered…

Yes He will, He has been gathering them – the people of Israel back to their land – stage one…

Now He will open their eyes to see their Messiah – stage two…

Then they will offer themselves as Intercessors for the world – stage three…

Then we – those from the nations – will join with them and intercede together – as one new man – in unity – complete unity – for the salvation of the world…

This is His Plan and in this chosen generation He will fulfil it…

I love to hear what the Lord is saying through others…

It really delights my heart to read of what He is saying through others…

The manifold wisdom of God…

Everyone gets insights which we do not get and yet our spirit knows as we read them that they are insights from the Lord and are expressing to us some of – part of – God’s character…

Beautiful…

We are – God’s children – truly a family – we are not divorced from one another…

We are one…

Even though we don’t know it and even though we don’t act like it…

We are one…

And we will be one…

Thanks Lord for the unity which You are bringing in Your family here on earth – thanks for the unity which You will bring – thanks for Your Fire to remove and destroy all stumbling blocks and hindrances to unity in Your Body…

You are Lord and we love You…

We don’t love anyone else but we do love each other – we are one with You and one with each other…

As we line up under You we also line up under each other…

We love You Lord and we allow You to give us our portions at the allotted times through our brothers and sisters and also directly through Yourself…

You are the Lord and we are Your servants…

We love You Lord…

We love You…

Exalt Your Name and let us be the caring and loving family – building up ourselves in love – which You have chosen to demonstrate Your Name and Your Nature on earth…

Not anymore in schisms – not anymore in fragments – but in unity – You have forgiven us and we are forgiving each other – every one Lord who does not belong to Your family but who are pretending to but have no desire to in reality – please remove them from our midst Lord – let us live without stumbling blocks in our midst…

Let us live in peace…

In tranquillity amongst ourselves…

Dwelling together in unity…

Not in striving…

But in acceptance…

Acceptance of one another in Christ…

Knowing in our spirits who are our brothers and sisters in Christ and who are not…

Show us the difference between the seekers who are coming to know You and the abusers who are trying to disrupt our peace and our unity – give us strength to drive them out as Jesus did with the moneychangers…

Give us this strength Lord to drive out the wolves and protect the sheep that we may all grow together in mutual acceptance and respect – in peace with each other and also with You…

Give us Your humility to put the needs of the Body before our own – in joy – not in some false form of sacrifice…

Love You Lord…

Only You can do this but I know You will – I see it as I type…

Let others share – let everyone in Your Body share – share – testify – as You lead them – let their mouth and their fingers be opened to speak and to type for Your Glory and let us all grow up into the fullness which is in Christ – and let us enjoy learning from each other – remove the rebellious from amongst us Lord – who would bring division and discord among the brethren and let us be one in peace – in love – as a brother has been sharing recently on another blog – and build ourselves up in our most holy faith – that they may be perfected in unity – Jesus’ definition of perfection – not an individual pursuit but a group destiny for the entire Body – come Lord Jesus amongst us as the Good Shepherd and through the power of Your Holy Spirit enable us to accept one another for the Glory of God and allow ourselves to grow together into His likeness – into His perfection – the perfection of His patience and the perfection of His Love amongst us…

My heart rejoices as I type this for I see it and on this other blog I see brothers who see it and it delights my heart…

Love to you all in Christ,

Andrew
