Jesus the King is coming soon. Word Received 29.7.2023

 Jesus the King is coming soon and His reward is with Him. He is looking for the humble in heart to fulfil His purposes on the Earth for He will not share His glory with another. He looks for those who will serve others as they serve Him in righteousness and holiness hating iniquity in all its forms. He is looking for a people brave and bold that will not be ashamed of Him before their generation but will gladly share His good news with any who will listen. He is looking for His Bride to make herself ready for His return and to eagerly await it. Do not be distracted by the things of this world for they will shortly fade away. Keep your focus on the Bridegroom and His great love for you.

Destinations and Departures

 As I wait to go

from this room to the next,

from this country to the next,

from this life to the next,

I want to connect 

with my correct destination.

Jesus said

I am the Way, the Truth and the Life,

and He meant it to give hope

to lost generations

and lost individuals

looking for a compass

that has been mislaid.

Jesus said

I am the door,

for us to enter through

into the presence of His glory and everlasting life.

In this so broken world

we can hardly imagine such a place exists,

but Scripture points to it

and with confidence we can reply to this invitation so graciously given.

We are not a collection of atoms

aimlessly floating through the universe.

We are precious,

created by God for purpose and blessing.

We make sure of our destination before departure

during this life.

We can also do the same for the next.

There is a time of turbulence coming on the Earth. Word Received 22.7.2023

 There is a time of turbulence coming on the Earth when people's hearts will fail from fear. There will be contention and war unlike anything that has ever been seen and everyone will be shocked by what they see. There will be a mighty uprising of evil but My people have nothing to fear. Understand that I will hedge you around behind and before and you will walk securely through the midst of chaos. Your heart will remain calm as it is anchored in Me and people will seek the answer that you have in your life. Now is the time for preparation, to draw close to Me and to understand My Word. Everything is foretold in it and I will not tell new things that are not in accordance to My Word. Deception will sweep away many from My purposes and fear will prevent many from taking the opportunities that I give them. Do not be afraid but trust in Me and you will indeed walk securely and safely in the days to come.

My Beloved

 My Beloved

Do not strive

for you are very close to Me.

Wake to My heart beat

and sing My song.

Walk with me 

in the garden of My delight

and soak in My love.

Your steps will not falter

as you move

in time with Me.

I share your journey

and call you onwards.

You are complete

in My completeness

and all else is 

transitory dust

that does not settle

as the wind blows.

Let Me kiss you

with My peace.

Remain close to Me

My Beloved.

I say to My beloved Arise and come with Me. Word Received 15.7.2023

 I say to My beloved Arise and come with Me. I want you to know I delight in you and I see all you can be as you put your hand in Mine and trust Me with your future days. There is much to be done for My Kingdom purposes to prevail and for My truth to be recognized and received. Dullness and stupor is upon the Earth and I want My people to wake others up with My good news. Tell them that I love them and they can know Me as you do. Tell them that I have always been with them and will be faithful to remain. Tell them not to believe the enemy who would tell them such a different story to the one that is true. My people Arise and receive My love and My presence in your lives.

Pressure

 I feel the pressure

of the 

fallen world,

sapping my strength,

rendering me powerless

against the avalanche of information

forcing itself into my head space.

Danger, fear, power, glory

muddled up in the daily news stew.

I can

of course

choose not to partake of the toxic brew,

spewed out through screens big and small.

I could tune out,

switch off,

but the fear of missing out

is a potent force

for fragile human beings

needing to be liked or forwarded.

It seems insane that we are

under

the spell

of the little black mirror,

that can be held in our hands

as it owns our lives.

It does not tell us the truth

about ourselves 

or others

or what really matters. 

Let's turn it off for a while,

but

obviously

not

until

you

have

finished 

reading 

this.

If My people will heed My voice. Word Received 5.7.2023

 If My people will heed My voice and turn from their own ways and turn to My ways and My Word then I will move in your lives and in this land. I will show My glory for My name's sake in this land of the long white cloud and it will be indeed known as the land of the Holy Spirit and a land where My name is exalted. Honor My name and lift it up for at My name all principalities and powers must bow. Recognize your authority because of My name and do not be timid to declare My praises. The enemy will try to silence you with fear and intimidation but do not fear because I have overcome the world and you are My disciples. Fear and honor Me and stand for righteousness and truth and you will walk as My beloved children in this good and pleasant land. My favor is upon you and My delight is towards you as you turn to Me.

Art of Exploration

 Afternoon light on restless water,

shadows cast by small children

investigating this expanse of shell, seaweed and sand.

A young boy diligently carries a spadeful of sand across the beach

depositing it for his own good reason some distance away.

He is of course dreaming of building and conquest,

and rightly so for this is his inheritance

in the wider scheme of things,

and his actions privately comprehended

will move towards more tangible outcomes in later life.

He shows determination to explore,

to cross river boundaries and climb mountains

in his imagination

as he navigates this new found beach.

As adults we often lose the art of exploration

as we settle for our narrow familiar worlds,

and wander not beyond the commonplace

of our own seemingly stable lives.

Seek the peace of Jerusalem. Word Received 20.6.2023

 Seek the peace of Jerusalem for its enemies are surrounding it for its destruction. Pray for the peace of Jerusalem and do not cease to lift this place for it is more significant than you think. The eyes of the world will be upon it in coming days and the enemy will think it has triumphed but I will redeem My people and I will rise up to defend them in the hour of their need. They will turn to Me and see My glory manifest in extraordinary ways. I cannot break My covenant or turn aside from the cries of My people. I will redeem all things and you will be amazed by what you see. Pray for Jerusalem for it will be a pivot point to My purposes on the Earth.

Kindness of the Father

 Kindness of the Father to lead and guide

to love and comfort

to ease the pain of mortal loss.

He has seen His Son in agony

He knows travail.

He has promised not to leave us or forsake us

but we forget so quickly

and get lost in the maze of our own emotions

seeking for solutions that are not in Him.

He has this and He has you

if only you would be still and know.

Thrashing about as one drowning

you would take others under with you.

His strong hand will pull you forth

from the waves of your despair

and sit with you on the Rock of His Word

until your soul finds peace.

This day did not start well but tomorrow can.

His mercies are new every morning

and not just in the lyrics of a song.

He is tangibly present and incredibly kind

having justified you through His Son

there is nothing more to fear.

We tug at the edges of His presence

and feel we are not worthy of crumbs

but He has indeed prepared a banquet

for us in the presence of our enemies

fear, loss, longing, despair,

grief, pain, hurt,

can all watch us from afar

as we dine with Him.
