Refiners Fire

Standing outside in the cool rain as I prayed I knew God was moving. God is moving, prayers are reaching his ears like never before. First comes the rain, My blood over the nations, My Holy Spirit striking through the hearts of many. I saw a multitude of intercessors, some experiencing this for the first time. Believers hand in hand in the Spirit, praying along the shores from coast to coast and the standard was raised against the enemy. Then comes the fire. A refining fire, and we will stand through the furnace. From it we rise up on wings like eagles! And I heard the roaring of the great Lion, and saw the Eagle rise up aflame.

It is coming says the Lord, DO NOT DOUBT IT and do not be afraid, Jesus is near.

Stay in the city until you are clothed with the Holy Spirit.

Luke 24:49, Isaiah 59:19, Isaiah 40:31.

Lets welcome our new editor

Hello, I’m Joanna.  I’ve been a born again Christian for 15 years. My crazy sister prayed for my salvation and what I thought was crazy actually was the truth of Jesus. I was at the end of my tether and asked my sister to pray for me and it sounds cliche but the light literally came on. I just new it was all true and- me being me -within an hour I wanted to go out and do miracles! For the first and only time God spoke audibly to me and said, “My child I’m not going to send you out naked!“

 I now understand the meaning of this so well. Because of Jesus my husband is alive and we’re still married ( although he’s not given his life to Christ yet) Because of Jesus we have a beautiful son, because of Jesus I was able to become a nurse. 

I was baptised in 2008 in the river Jordan and have had many amazing testimonies of His faithfulness and grace. I also have testimonies of the suffering and the refiners fire that come with being a disciple of Christ. Sometimes I’ve been holding on by my fingernails convinced I’m finished, not good enough etc. But I am still learning now how to battle in spiritual warfare against the lies of the enemy and how to wear my armour well and daily take up my cross. 

The Christian life is not an easy one, but I would not change one day because I asked God to build my character and yes that’s exactly what he’s doing!

That’s it for now, thanks for taking the time to read. Be blessed.

I have asked her to introduce herself to the readership, this will be her first post. She will then give her take on some of my posts hopefully this will add some interest and dynamic to the blog.

On the institutions of men

There are those who claim to be the church but are not.

They have grown in influence and number

They misrepresent me and my interests.

They have joined that institution called the church but they are not members of my body

Do you not know there is power available to you to bring down the might ones those who have gotten influence over my body through corruption and wealth and manouvering

I will say to them, away from me I never knew you.

They seek to undermine the plans of my body,  I shall bring them to ruin

You who govern the church and are not mine I shall lay you to waste

I will frustrate your plans

I will cut off your influence

Those that  know me shall receive from my hand everything they need to advance my church

Those who claim to be church, but are  not, yet hold unmerited influence over the affairs of men shall be brought low.

Even mere babes shall bring you to your knees for in their weakness my strength is made perfect.

Live your life in front of all men

Let your gift of Love speak to all men, corrupt or not, powerful or not.

Allow me to show myself through you

Become less that I might become more

I shall speak to you

I shall guide you

Learn to depend on my Holy Spirit

Seek Him constantly

Let  Him empower you.

Be on your guard for in the last days even the elect shall be fooled

Amen.

Foxes little foxes

The foxes, the little foxes spoil the vineyard.

There is new wine coming but first the harvest has to be gathered and the winepress put to use

Go into the fields and gather the foxes you have rendered harmless, ensnared in the trap that you have laid.

Then you will be able to celebrate the feast with  fresh new wine.

 New wine for a big party is being prepared.

There shall be celebrations

There will be dancing and singing

There will be music and melody

There will be happiness and joyfulness

The streets will leap and dance

Amen

10 things God can't do

You have heard that nothing is impossible with God.

Get ready to be surprised and amazed.

What can I do ?

He is an Awesome God

He sits in the throne room of the temple in heaven

listening to our prayers

His desire is that none should perish

He rejoices over everyone who comes to Him

He seeks the best outcome for all men whether they worship Him or not

For He loves His creation, He is Abba Father

He seeks to reveal His plan to you

Ask Him what he is doing

Ask Him what you can do to help him for you are not a slave or servant but a son

You should share the same vision for He is your Father

Learn to commune with Him

You should possess His mind

Learn about His interaction with man throughout  history as recorded in the scriptures

Pray for the sick they shall recover.

Your spirit lives in heaven only your soul and mortal body is here on earth.

You passed from death to life when you came to me.

Amen.

God never said to any of his angels 'Today I have become your father'

But God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in His begotten Son

And when He that is Christ overcame death by being raised was granted the right hand seat in the throne room of the One true living God.

It was He the Word made flesh which made His earth His dwelling

His name is Higher than any other name either in heaven or earth or under the earth.

He has power and authority over all creation whether seen or unseen.

And yet he desires to know you as  friend.

Seek him and you will find Him

He is not far away or difficult to reach

Open the eyes of your heart

Wake up and smell His sweet aroma

The aroma of forgiveness and mercy,  pleasant and calming on the nostrils.

It removes the pungent smell of death and decay.

A life giving affirming  aroma

I am patient says the lord
I have carried you and eased your burden
Yet you have spurned me because you think I have deserted you

Have I not told you I would never leave you
Have you not read my word's to you

Are you slow of mind ?

Far be it from you to spurn my leading
You have journeyed far
Just a little farther and you will reach the goal

Might I remind you

Of your great successes
Of your wonderous achievements

Yet you are not satisfied

Let greed be far from you
Let gluttony be removed
Be careful you might fail to digest your food.

I am not talking about your stomach

Let your sustainance be to do my will

Obey as you ought

And all will go well with you

Disobey me and feel my wrath for I delight in showing you my Love!

Come let us rebuild our city (part 2)

I called the elders of the city to meet me under the great tree in the outer court.

They came and met with me, grumbling about the walls of the city

So I said to them, 'Do not be dismayed for I have the favor of my king!

See he has already sent supplies and provisions and everything we need to rebuild the city'.

I took them to the harbour and they saw ships I had brought.

They marveled at the generosity of my king.

So they called the people of the city and gathered labourers and skilled men of all kinds.

They began to rebuild their city with each clan, tribe and house given a section to rebuild

So the elders set about rebuilding the city.

Soon word spread about what we were doing and a cheer went up and the people marveled at the things we were doing.

I looked and saw childern dancing in the street and musicians playing the harp and the lyre.

The people marveled at the sight and were greatly encouraged

Our bitter enemy looked and saw what we were beginning to accomplish and they were terrified 'If we can destroy their city and ruin its people and yet they have begun to do this. What have they planned for us ? They were greatly discouraged, many of them fled, just a handful remained.

When the elders saw the enemy fleeing they were greatly encouraged and sent word to the skilled fighting men and present themselves to those of our enemy that remain. So it was done, When our bitter enemy saw us coming they to fled so they gave chase. They chased them shouting and waving their spears as far as the cities outer limits. They sent word to the city elders and a great cry wentout from the people of the city. And so the enemy was routed on that day. 

The gates of the city were set in place and its towers and walls rebuilt.

People flocked from all the land to see the works we had achieved.

They marveled at the wonders of the city.

Jehovah Jireh provides and has given his angels charge over you.

Amen

Rebuild the city walls

My Lord

The walls of my city stand in ruins and its people are desolate 

There is no protection for the people of the city.

Go! said the king you have found favour in my sight

Rebuild your city take anything from my kingdom that you need!

So I built ships and sailed to my city 

From oak and cedar I built them.

When I got to my city its people were discouraged

So I said to them, come I have ships and everything we need let us rebuild our city and make it a sight to behold once more. 

No longer will the jackel nest in its walls and the crow find comfort there 

Let us build a city fit for children to play in the streets and let singers and dancers celebrate how we have triumped over advercity

The enemy will be routed from our land and its people live in health and vitality once more

Let lepers be cleansed and the lame walk.

Let blind eyes be opened and deaf ears be unstopped. 

Let the city prosper once more  

let visitors come from the surrounding nations and marvel at everything we have done.

Do not be dismayed for you have the favour of your king!

Do not fear! Your enemy is under your feet.

You have been given victory.

Amen.
