Statement of faith

Rough seas and the lions den

I am Almighty God.

I created all things.

By mere speach, out of nothing, I created the seen and the unseen.

I created time and space and matter.

It is my desire to lavish my Love upon you

I am already at work in all things wether you perceive it or not, believe it or not, I am working everything out for your good

You shall be safe even in the midst of the lions den

You will go through dark times

Beleive me when I tell you, you are not alone !

I cannot break my promise to be with you !

Fear not!  I have sent my angels ahead of you!

Be encouraged I am everywhere at all times

I see your pain and your heartache and it grieves me

Therefore I am sending a comforter fit for your circumstances

Be of good cheer and do not be disheartened for I am Holy

There is none like me !

Have you not read of Daniel of old whom I love.

It was he who defied the king and was placed amidst lions yet came out unharmed

So I tell you these present times shall not overwhelm you

You will sail into port, through rough seas, in good order.

Nothing shall be lost.

Amen

Awesome God

You are good oh my God

Your mercy never fails

I will sing of your faithfulness

With every breath

You are my Father and Friend

You are my Lord and King

Lord your goodness is chasing me

All my life you have been faithful

He is faithful God

He is Awesome God

He is Loving God

He has proven worthy and honourable

More that any other

I will sing of your greatness

Amen

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.
