Forever sums up the realm of our spirit which came from and will return to a place where past and future are all at once. The scriptures make it clear we come from God as a spirit light and enter into a womb to be formed into a breathing human body here on earth. We are first a living spirit, a light orb if you will among a myriad of other light orbs bustling for a chance to be a body on a planet with God. However the influence of dark spirits diminishes our shine in a battle for world domination which has been fought for millennia. Our light spirit knew this but was bustling to enter the fray against the dark ones to regain this planet. When a soul on earth comes into the knowledge of God Most High we call it being born again rather than as it were reborn into our original knowledge. The scriptures say we overcome because we are chosen to be faithful. Being a chosen one means we were destined to shed darkness and glow brighter as we regain eternal knowledge. This rebirth and the sh...

Something I picked up recently from my Holy Spirit teacher and reminder is a lesson in the trials of this Christian way. I felt confident in the implanted word in me over the last few weeks and that confidence was shattered in a few hours by a test and when I inquired about the confusion I was informed I had picked up a bad spirit. I knew the truth of it by the way I felt and so I bound and cast it out. But the feeling hadn't totally gone away and enquiring again I heard "Faith isn't faith until it has been tested." With that I remembered Abraham's call to sacrifice his precious son and the climb it took him to the moment as the knife was poised of God's grace and mercy. My faith message, that inner still quiet voice, came associated with anointing, with tears shared over 15,000kms with my wife who was feeling the same and I assumed the deed mentioned was to be that day. But I was disappointed by a nothingness then "it's not going to happen toda...

Once many years ago I wrote a piece about God being a mountain standing behind me which said "as if ready to explode but to me it is home." It's like many see God as some giant people killer but that's not how I know Him. I know my Heavenly Father because He just keeps pouring love on me which I feel physically as if warm oil flowing over my head and down being. And when I lay my hand on other's they feel that precious agape love and sometimes the fire of His healing touch which is passing through me. People teach from the pulpit words which are ideas that tickle ears but without any changing power. I know it's the best they can do but it isn't the word of God as I know it. The words I hear and see are often parables, stories which when understood unlock closed minds and shatter hardened hearts. Yes the mind can help to bring change but it was never meant to be that snail-like. The finger of God brings pretty instant change because His finger is loaded wi...

Five years ago I heard a word from the Lord that I was to go to South America and that I will teach in a university. This after being told there was a move afoot to get rid of me from my pastoral position. Well they got rid of me within a couple of months so naturally I thought this trip overseas would follow but nothing opened up in the next five years.  However a few months ago the Lord said to me "I am sending you to South America...Brazil. I had money to reroof the house but the Lord said "I will take care of that, you take care of Brazil." My wife suggested I look at the ticket with vision and at the price and there I saw $1467.00 and a few weeks later I was advised by a former parishioner from Brazil there was a sale on at Latam. Low and behold the return ticket was $1467.00 and the roof has not leaked all winter wet. I was also told some other things and felt it was about bringing something powerful back to pass on to others. Well now I'm here in Sao Paulo,...

I asked the question of God recently about how to gain more of the power of God to make more of a real difference in this world. Listening to testimonies of great men who had the experience of great power of God that changed them into who they had become made me hungry for more. I wanted this experience because I have had the feeling for years that there is more than this in the promises of Christ Jesus. My answer to this prayer however has left me pondering seeing a vision in fact of a hammer pounding a coin. My interpretation of this vision is to pound down the effect of mammon (money, riches, wealth) from having any power over me which rightly belongs to God. I have just been through some battles in the financial area in which I was desperate on selling an item to square my accounts. When it wasn't selling and I was anxious I heard the voice of the Spirit say, "You don't need to sell the (item)." As it turned out some money loaned out was returned, someone want...

The earth moved and stirred as life emerged from its womb. A nose pushed its way into the atmosphere, then a hand rose to sweep away the dust from around its nostrils and the earth flexed and heaved below it as air ballooned a chest beneath and rested a while. Twice more the earth heaved and stirred as toes emerged and knees and a shoulder attached to the arm. For a second time a voice stronger than the earth itself, stronger even than the sun and the moon beckoned forth from the earth a living being. “Who is like God,” a voice no one had heard before said among the trees nearby. “Who is like God, come forth and walk with me on the earth.” This was no roll of thunder or whisper of leaves, for this was a raindrop falling on a pond, this was a voice so easily mistaken. Toes wriggled and the shoulder rolled, hips and thighs lifted, a form head low and back arched arose in the dusty mound. Arms supporting the head shook off the soil revealing darkish hair. With a heave and a roll i...

The following word came to me around the turn of the millennium... until the day that Eve was made  and the two could play the game together . The song talked about peace reigning where once there was disorder confusion having lost her grip . Reading those words once again the other day I am quite suddenly gripped with the church made from the rib of Christ and no other rib. Eve in our language means a beginning time but in Genesis the title means to breathe or live. The name is built into our faith as we believe but even though it sounds the same it's not in deceive. God said in the creation account there was a new event which was evening and afterwards morning and this was a new day. But enough of this lets get down to the issue of the bride (Eve) being made from the rib of Christ and our Father put Adam to sleep for the making of Eve. Watchman Nee related Christ's crucifixion to the creation events saying that Adam’s sleep was not for Eve’s redemption; it was so that...
