What In The Heavens Is Going On? PLEASE PRAY!!

It's an epic battle!
A titanic struggle!
A gigantic clash!

And these are not just movie theatre terms...

It is the battle for the United States of America!!

Since 2007 I have sensed the need to follow the movements of American politics, and we have always had a heart for this nation; its land and its people.
In the early hours of this morning I was awakened by the Lord and he said this to me:
"What is happening right now is not about flesh and blood; about politics and economics and finance. Its about a 'heavenly' clash of proportions you are not even able to comprehend right now. I want you to call my people to prayer, to intercession, supplications and petitions as they have never prayed before!"

I was reminded of Daniel praying and the angel revealing to him the 'shift' that was taking place in the nation he found himself in. I was also reminded of how a 'shift' took place in South Africa in 1994.
Everytime goverments change, authorities and prominenet positions are exchanged huge momentus spiritual dynamics take place.
War in the heavenlies!

We have all heard it before, but are we convinced?
Are we devoting ourselves really to this battle?
Do we realise that right now there is a battle taking place for the nation of the USA?
For the church?
For the generation yet to be born?
For the nations of the world?

Whenever there is a shift of principalities, powers and rulers of the darkness and wickedness in high places, there is also a shift of values, an influence of culture, an openeing or closing of the spiritual heavens, an influence of decisions and choices,- society, - economics, - politics, families, peoples view and perspectives. I have studied these things over the years and been very aware of the changes that take place, on a smaller or larger scale.

The sad thing is we mostly carry on our merry way not realising how our thinking, lives and activities are affected by what has been allowed and permited in the heavelies and in our nations.

In 1994 I remember how we as a church prayed and sought the Lord in fasting and prayer before the elections that were to take place that year. From all over the world we received notice, as the church, that churches and groups and individuals were praying for us as a nation.
A blood-bath was avoided and free and fair elections took place.

With all my heart tonight I wish to request your earnest prayers for the USA!
I know that the Lord has impressed this upon my heart today.

You may not live there, but you will be affected by what takes place there, in whatever nation you live.
If you do, please realise the seriousness of what is taking place right now.
Gather some friends and PRAY.

(You maybe out of fellowship with the Lord at present, but He loves you and will hear your prayers, too.)

Please do not discount what is happening right now, nor your ability to 'see' the Spirit of the Lord come in like a flood against the enemy.

Resist the works of darkness in faith.
Declare by faith the grace and mercy of God over the nation.
Confess boldly, to the North, South, East and West that Jesus is Lord of that nation.


We cannot walk away from this crisis moment/season for this nation, because of our indifference and disobedience and unbelief. The simple fact that we are prepared to not sense the urgency of the hour ,shows how much we have already been influenced by 'forces' that seek to dominate and set up kingdoms against our Christ's and Kings Kingdom.

Your greatest enemy right now will be to be too busy.

Please pray URGENTLY!!!

GOD BLESS AMERICA!

Eph 6:10  Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.
Eph 6:11  Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
Eph 6:12  For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
Eph 6:13  Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
Eph 6:14  Stand therefore
Eph 6:18  Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;

Dan 10:12  Then he said to me, Have no fear, Daniel; for from the first day when you gave your heart to getting wisdom and making yourself poor in spirit before your God, your words have come to his ears: and I have come because of your words.
Dan 10:13  But the angel of the kingdom of Persia put himself against me for twenty-one days; but Michael, one of the chief angels, came to my help; and when I came he was still there with the angel of the kings of Persia.
Dan 10:14  Now I have come to give you knowledge of the fate of your people in the later days; for there is still a vision for the days.

Changing Your Thinking; Changing Your Paradigm Part1


I apologise for the delay in vlogging, but if I'm not inspired and moved by the Spirit to bring something I don't, and it has also been circumstantial.

But here we are again, and this is a message that has been bouncing around my spirit for awhile now.
Over the years I have discovered that its not just another message that changes us; its not just talking about the Kingdom and gospel that manifests it, but a definite process has been revealed by the Spirit of God for us to manifest the principles and values of the Kingdom.

In a time when man and Satan is visibly and feverishly attempting to set up kingdoms against Our King and God, we the church, need to be deeply involved in the Kings work of revealing, and establishing His kingdom.

God's Word & You V : The Word in Action


We should spend our time having the Word fixed in our hearts, and then out of the abundance of hearts our mouth will speak. When our hearts are full of the Word that is what the world will hear. What are we filling our hearts with? What comes out of our mouths? Where is our focus and attention?
The book of Acts reveals that they spoke the WORD boldly, that they spread the Word wherever they went.
We should too. This is our duty, our commission, to preach the Word. Spend time in it, meditate on it, speak it, make it the centre of everything, the first place in your life.
