Let us fix our eyes on Jesus the Author and Perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning it’s shame and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
Consider him who endured such opposition from sinful men, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.
Hebrews 12:2, 3 (N.I.V.)

Who amongst us looks at the Cross, as a joy set before us?
What joy indeed some wonder, can a cross offer, but pain and death and sorrow?

There are many amongst us, in whom God has planted His word and it burns like a fire in your bones.

But you don’t want to run with it do you?

You don’t want to be scorned, you don’t want to be shamed, you can’t face the rejection.
Where did you learn all that?
From the word of God. Right?

You’ve read about what has been done to the messengers God sends. How they suffered. And it’s not very pleasant is it?

And of course you’ve read and had it preached to you, that God is Gracious, He does not condemn. He’s a nice God. He is so Merciful. The Bible is full of God’s eternal Niceness. So you think that if you don’t give that message, He will understand, being that He is such an understanding, Nice God.


Besides, you’ve got your local church, society and family who think so very highly of you.
Yeah sure, if God had Said, take 1000 cheese burgers or sandwiches and feed the poor, you’d have run with it, because you can raise that kind of money through your church, your friends, why even from your own pocket!
Social work kind of boosts your image, makes you look good, even the church looks good, doing nice things like that.

So you’ve decided that you would rather pass the message God gave you, to a more apt person. In fact you’re fervently praying about it already.

You want God, to send the message with a person who has no reputation to lose, that guy down the road, what’s his name? Reads his bible and can quote it backwards. Everyone in the church thinks he’s weird anyway. Now that kind of guy, he’s got nothing to lose. With all the enemies he has, why, being a surrogate messenger might even make him a friend or two.

If they ‘excommunicate’ him from the charismatic church, he’d survive. And who’d miss him? Who wants a guy who knows the bible backwards, when even read forwards, the bible doesn’t make much sense to many folks, in some churches.

But now you, you would not survive the trauma of giving that difficult message would you?
You fear everyone in the church will glare at you, your involvements in the safe places, the Sunday school, the music ministry, the word ministry, etc, will , you suspect, come to an abrupt end, not to mention those seats of honor right there in the front row.
And you’re probably right.
You hate abrupt ends don’t you?

Besides the message you have in your bones, is so simple, not even complicated. Simple messages, do make you look foolish don’t they?
Besides, if you gave the message, people are bound to say, as they do to most prophetic messages, “Oh, I knew that”.
That bothers you doesn’t it?

It’s hard to fix your eyes on Jesus isn’t it?

Yes, Gosh! It does seem like a heck of a lot of giving up, doesn’t it?
You’ve enjoyed fearing man so much, it’s become a habit with you.
Yeah, sure, you’ve had your own ‘crosses’ to bear.
But now,
It’s hard to see the joy set before you isn’t it?
Hard to scorn the shame?
Hard to die?

Hard to fix your eyes on Jesus isn’t it?

But you’ve been given a message, by the Author and Perfecter of your faith. You ate it and now in a moment of regret, you want to vomit it out. You want to cheer other prophets on, as they carry their cross past you, you want to secretly encourage them. But you don’t want to join them in their ‘public humiliation’.
Hey, God is God, you argue back, He’s not short of messengers is He?

Is He?

Besides, you think that the message is bound to go ‘over the heads’ of those to whom it is addressed, and my! Don’t they deserve their come-uppance?

But that message keeps tingling in your bones, what plans have you for it?

Read this.



And having disarmed the powers and authorities, he made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the cross.
Colossians 2;15 (N.I.V.)

Fear not! It’s those powers and principalities of darkness that have been made a public spectacle of!
Fix your eyes on Jesus and see that triumph, see that joy.

In the eyes of God, an obedient child walks triumphantly, what scorn? What shame?
See that joy my beloved sister, see that joy my beloved brother.
See the Triumph, see the Resurrection, see the Life everlasting.

And then there’s those mature messengers.

You’ve delivered many messages before. And you’ve delivered them with accuracy, in the sharpness of your God given skills.
But this one’s causing you great anguish.

Hard to fix your eyes on Jesus ?
Hard to understand ‘the joy set before Him?’


You know how this message , will play out, don’t you?

You know the outcome.

You’ll take the message to those ‘awful’ people. You’ll talk down to them, and say,
“Forty more days and you awful people will be overturned”.
And you’ll watch them, and to your horror and dismay………….they’ll do what you secretly hoped they wouldn’t.

You know the outcome.

These ‘awful people’ will believe the message is from God
And REPENT!
And this is the part that torments you the most.
God will Hear, and relent from sending the disaster you have prophesied.
And you’ll lose that reputation you so cherished……. of being a sharp prophet with a cutting edge.
And folks will say, “ Wasn’t this the guy who prophesied disasters for these ‘awful people’. Well, we don’t see any. Hey you! God can’t be wrong, so it must be you!
You false prophet, you!
You haven’t yet run with ‘the’ message but you’re sulking already.
You’ve got a reputation to maintain.

The frightening thing about “Repent and turn to God” messages, is that the most sinful of people, might just do that, and to your horror and chagrin, be saved.
You’ve read the word of God. You so readily recall , Ahab and Manasseh.
You know God is Good, but you don’t see why though, with the likes of these.

You know your God. You know your bible. You know how it’ll play out. So what’s the use of running with a message like that?
Now the message is not really the problem, but it’s this knowledge of God’s Goodness that’s niggling you.
Please don’t sulk.

So now you’ve decided that you don’t want to rock the boat.
You want to maintain the Status Quo.

Let these ‘awful people’ continue to sin.

Your fear now is, suppose they repent? You want to prolong their agony and help maintain their ignorance of God’s Requirements.


You were secretly hoping for a Cupful of God’s Wrathful Judgment upon them.
And now you fear that it a’int gonna happen the way you’d have envisaged it.

What’s the use?

So it’s real hard to fix your eyes on Jesus, the Author and Perfecter of your faith.

In fact it’s hard to fix your eyes on anything.

Gosh you’re running away fast!

Afraid you’ll miss the boat to Tarshish?
You want to book that cabin, so you can sleep through the journey?

Here’s a prophecy for prophets on the run.

God’s whales are policing the stormy waters. They’ve been sent to take absconders from active duty, into custody.
But for you, this is the time to save your life whilst others perish.

So, Run sister run! Run brother run!

Hey! What’s up? You’ve slowed down!
You don’t want to spend a long week-end in the belly of the whale?

Oh! You know the outcome of this one, too?

What did you just mutter? You just went into your prayer closet, had a chat with God?

And now you’ve got a message to run with?


Oh! Sorry, for taking up so much of your time.

When you get to the crossroads, that road straight ahead? That’s the way to Nineveh.

You know, you kinda look familiar.

It’s Jonah, isn’t it?

There are wolves out there in sheep’s clothing, so warns the word of God.How do we recognize them? In these days of rampant deception, what’s to prevent us in our fanatical zeal, to go on an unwarranted ‘witch-hunt’?Has God left us as orphans to fend for ourselves in this mad bad world?

We, need discernment, we need wisdom.
Nehemiah discerned the ‘warnings’ of man. Neh 6:10-14 :Shemaiah was sent on the behest of Sanballat and Tobiah, to frighten Nehemiah. In fact the prophetess, Noadiah, and the rest of the prophets, all alike, wanted to put Nehemiah in fear.These enemies did not want Nehemiah to build for God.

But Nehemiah was able to discern that these were not sent by God.

If such are trying to frighten you, bring it before God as Nehemiah did.He will stop them.Noah received a warning of the coming days from God. Gen 6:13,14If the warnings before you are of God, He will give you the specifications for building the Ark.God will supply you with the Manifesto of the passenger list and enumerate the exact nature of the cargo you are to carry.Nehemiah did not let the fear, originating from man, deter him.Noah and Nehemiah were men who had the fear of God in them.Neither mockery, nor opinions nor fears of men, deterred them from building.And God was with them.

They recognized the origin of the word that came to them.
Can we?

Message developing since 4.April.06Typed 12.April .06/13.april 06
First sent:13.4.06


To those of us who went astray,HOW DID WE GET HERE?
Exodus 34:10,11 KJV
And he said, Behold, I make a covenant: before all thy people I will do marvels, such as have not been done in all the earth, nor in any nation: and all the people among which thou art shall see the work of the LORD: for it is a terrible thing that I will do with thee. Observe thou that which I command thee this day;
N.I.V.Then the Lord said: I am making a covenant with you. Before all your people I will do wonders never before done in any nation in all the world. The people you live among will see how awesome is the work that I, the Lord, will do for you. Obey what I command you today.

In the hearts of God’s people is a great puzzlement.

Why have we not seen the marvels, the awesome work, why in spite of all the ‘manifestations’, we see strewn on the floors of our fellowships, is this gnawing grief in our hearts, that we’re not really seeing what is promised in these verses.Word Faith ministries and Prosperity Gospel preachers are saying “ This is it”But our hearts cry in horror, “Is this it?The rampant deceptions, the many fake signs and wonders.How did we get here?
Where did we go wrong?It seems it all began in the Garden of Eden.Gen 3:1Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the Lord had made.The N.I.V. uses the word ‘crafty’.

The ‘thought’, the ‘concept’ that the command of God could have a ‘twisted’ interpretation was ‘imported’ by Eve from the serpent.By one act of disobedience, Adam and Eve went from being Edenistic to Hedonistic.The subtle tricks of the serpent can be discerned by studying the condition, the church is in today.Remember, the serpent was subtle. It is he who subtly exports to us the world philosophies, formulas and works. And he uses people. He makes ‘importers’ out of some. He doesn’t need many. Adam was the first man, but Eve was the first importer. And look how quickly she passed on her imports.

The Bible warns us of things ‘imported’ from the nations around us.

God told Moses in Exodus 20:24

An altar of earth thou shalt make unto me, and shalt sacrifice thereon thy burnt offerings, and thy peace offerings, thy sheep, and thine oxen: in all places where I record my name I will come unto thee, and I will bless thee.And if thou wilt make me an altar of stone, thou shalt not build it of hewn stone: for if thou lift up thy tool upon it, thou has polluted it.

Exodus 23:20-30
Behold, I send an Angel before thee, to keep thee in the way, and to bring thee into the place which I have prepared.023:021Beware of him, and obey his voice, provoke him not; for he will not pardon your transgressions: for my name is in him.023:022But if thou shalt indeed obey his voice, and do all that I speak; then I will be an enemy unto thine enemies, and an adversary unto thine adversaries.023:023For mine Angel shall go before thee, and bring thee in unto the Amorites, and the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Canaanites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites: and I will cut them off.023:024Thou shalt not bow down to their gods, nor serve them, nor do after their works: but thou shalt utterly overthrow them, and quite break down their images.023:025And ye shall serve the LORD your God, and he shall bless thy bread, and thy water; and I will take sickness away from the midst of thee.023:026There shall nothing cast their young, nor be barren, in thy land: the number of thy days I will fulfil.023:027I will send my fear before thee, and will destroy all the people to whom thou shalt come, and I will make all thine enemies turn their backs unto thee.023:028And I will send hornets before thee, which shall drive out the Hivite, the Canaanite, and the Hittite, from before thee.

Our God is a Jealous God. Strange, how we all ‘know’ that!He does not want us to go awhoring with other gods. All promises are on the condition that we obey.But church, have we obeyed?Aren’t we doing what Ahaz did?
Look what happened to the earthen altar.Read this:2kg16: 17-20

And Ahaz took the silver and gold that was found in the house of the LORD,and in the treasures of the king's house, and sent it for a present to the king of Assyria.

And the king of Assyria hearkened unto him: for the king of Assyria went upagainst Damascus, and took it, and carried the people of it captive to Kir, and slew Rezin.And king Ahaz went to Damascus to meet Tiglathpileser king of Assyria, andsaw an altar that was at Damascus: and king Ahaz sent to Urijah the priest the fashionof the altar, and the pattern of it, according to all the workmanship thereof.And Urijah the priest built an altar according to all that king Ahaz had sent fromDamascus: so Urijah the priest made it against king Ahaz came from Damascus.And when the king was come from Damascus, the king saw the altar: and the kingapproached to the altar, and offered thereon.And he burnt his burnt offering and his meat offering, and poured his drink offering,and sprinkled the blood of his peace offerings, upon the altar.And he brought also the brasen altar, which was before the LORD, from the forefrontof the house, from between the altar and the house of the LORD, and put it on thenorth side of the altar.And king Ahaz commanded Urijah the priest, saying, Upon the great altar burnthe morning burnt offering, and the evening meat offering, and the king's burntsacrifice, and his meat offering, with the burnt offering of all the people of the land,and their meat offering, and their drink offerings; and sprinkle upon it all the bloodof the burnt offering, and all the blood of the sacrifice: and the brasen altar shall be forme to enquire by.Thus did Urijah the priest, according to all that king Ahaz commanded.And king Ahaz cut off the borders of the bases, and removed the laver from off them;and took down the sea from off the brasen oxen that were under it, andput itupon the pavement of stones.And the covert for the sabbath that theyhad built in the house, and the king's entry without, turned he from the houseof the LORD for the king of Assyria.


When the Altar of God is altered , everything is altered.Ahaz (2 kg 16:10-18 ) saw something in Damascus, that appealed to him, and he ‘imported’ itto the Temple of God, and thereby polluted the Temple.If we’re polluted inside we pollute outside. Not just the surroundings, but the people, too.Spiritual decay sets in.The heart condition of Urijah was so different to that of Phineas, the priest with a zeal for God(Num 25:6-18) who brought true judgment , and turned back the wrath of God. The plague was stayed.We as children of God, see this decay as a plague in our midst. We must understand that,only true and just judgments as according to the Word of God will stay the plague.

Back to AhazAhaz, went to Damascus without a revelation or encounter with God, and cast off all restraint. Onechange led to another. The Temple was no more as God planned it, but was now it was as manplanned it.
Ahaz was blinded by the works of the flesh. He ‘imported’ a worthless altar.

He had the skills of men wasted, in worthless pursuits, in the Temple of God.He led the priests to sin. And the priests seemed to like having it so. They never protested, but rather‘went along’ with Ahaz and became thereby partners in sin.You change just one thing, and the lust to keep on changing things in the House of God, increases.
Church! Put an embargo on all ‘imports’.

Our own ‘church’ history is replete with examples, , of how we’ve corrupted and pollutedthe earthen altar, of how we’ve hewn the stone, and lifted up our tools to it.

Church leaders like Ahaz, have traveled around the world and brought back shopping bags full of‘good’ ideas.
Many amongst us have lusted to ‘import’ philosophies, concepts, logics, from nations.We have lusted to ‘import’, and by the works of the flesh, to fill our lack. Some of us have importedthe music of demons. We are so overawed by the money, success, the size and numbers of ministriesaround the world, or around the corner, that we have lusted, and imported theirformulas. We want to look like them, make ‘bold faith confessions’ like them, we want to shout, screamand thump like them, fall on the floor like them, as if shocked by the ‘electrocution’.We want to be rich like them, we want to have testimonies like them, we want to have ‘deep’revelations like them.We want to join their ‘fellowships’, spiritually, meaning their ‘ME-GENERATION’, Clubs.And sing, ‘It’s all about me, Jesus.’ Choruses.

We know from the Word of God, that God does work miracles, He does heal, He does bless Hispeople.But we, we have gone after the seducers, to worship their god, ‘mammon’, and lusted after and believedIn the lie. The false signs and wonders.Have we obeyed God, then?No. Rather we have provoked Him, with our tolerance of false doctrines. We have silently stood byand - watched the ministers mutilate the word of God.We have not been built up in our faith but we’ve certainly been built up in our greed.We’ve been seduced because we liked to have it so.

Many leaders have preached a strange mixture. Their sermons begin well enough, with a couple ofverses from the Bible. They tell us of some new ‘movement’ of God, and we believe, becausewe like to have it so.They promise us a journey into a ‘new dimension’. They enumerate a list of 10 worthless things to jotdown.And after those couple of verses, thereafter, We never hear Scripture again.

Just personal ramblings, boastings, rib-tickling jokes, inflated numbers that attended their crusades,claims of unverifiable healings, claims of ‘heavenly ‘ encounters, ( most of which reeks of angel-worship)for which we have to exercise the sum total of our faith to believe, and when we just refuse tobelieve, we are told we lack faith.
Nothing they say, has any substance to draw us to God, or cause us to repent, but rather, in theirshallow preaching, suddenly , by their subtle skills and crafty verbal maneuverings, they’ve abductedus, and left us high and dry on the deserted highways , with no spiritual food or shelter, naked andconfused. They tell us we’re in this pitiable condition, because we “just didn’t believe.”

‘Just believe’ is the instruction they give is.You see the corruption of the word JUST BELIEVE?
You who boast of your ‘glory’ being known in all the nations.

We ask you.
Just believe what?That Jesus can be bought by money?Just believe what?That by constantly ‘confessing’ I am not a sinner, the ‘faith’ behind the words will do away with the needfor good old fashioned repentance of my sins?Just believe what?That our gifts of money to your ‘ministries’ will cover the multitude of our sins?Just believe what?Your New Age, ecumenical philosophies?

These ‘greek gods’ speak philosophies, and write ‘How to” books. These are basically manualsand sets of instructions, on How to make them rich.In essence, what they’re preaching is that Jesus is no more our Lord. He’s been made our race horse,on whom we place our money and bets, to double our money. The prosperity gospels seem teach usto treat the Name of Jesus Christ as just another safe listing on the international Stock Exchange.It’s a company run purportedly in His Name, by self-appointed directors, who fleece the ‘investors’,and have all the ‘perks’, and like Eli’s sons, keep the choicest for themselves.
Spiritual pimps have lured us to harlots. Because we liked to have it so.

Whether one suffers or many suffer, the pain is ours, dear Body of Christ.
Is it right that we warn not our own, from dangers that are ensnaring us? Is that love?
In the Book of Judges, Gideon is asking God, (obviously without understanding the gravity of thesins of his people), (Judges 6:13)……and where be all his miracles which our fathers told us of, saying , Did not The Lord bring us up from Egypt?

We too are asking where be all His miracles? For when we came miraculously out of our Egypts,to be born-again, we all believed in this Awesome God. A few years on, the question‘where be all His miracles’, seems like just a ‘hopeless’ sigh in some of our hearts.We are disillusioned.

We don’t see it in this counterfeit . But now the counterfeit has driven many to seek protection in dens and caves.We read of the oppressions of the ”Midianites, Amalekites and the eastern people“ upon the wealth of Israel.How can we war against these raids?It seems, that just as the time of the Book of Judges, we seem to be going through a cycle of ‘robbed and released’, but never totally free.As in the Book of Judges times, (Judges 21:25), we all seem to be doing what is right in our own eyes.

YOU SHALL KNOW THE TRUTH AND THE TRUTH SHALL SET YOU FREE.
God instructs us plainly in: Judges 6. But will we learn?
Vs 25……. Tear down your father’s altar to Baal and cut down the Asherah pole beside it.Vs 26 Then build a proper kind of altar to the Lord your God on the top of this height.
It was such a fearful thing to do in those times, that Gideon took ten men, and did this in the nighttime.
There is fear of man encircling us. We know the ministries that twist our faith and doctrines.We know some of them by their names and others by their works. But now knowing the distortions, yet some are afraid to speak out, or name names, whilst others who are willing to do it, are waiting for nightfall to tear down the altars.
Church!Know that we serve a Jealous God.Tear down the high places.Break down the images. Tear down the places where we all went awhoring.Pray for courage and godly counsel and strategyExpose these ministries and their doctrines, in broad daylight.Declare war on all who would rob us of our inheritance and our loved ones.Speak the Word of God with Boldness, Truth and Love.

The Amalekites, against whom Gideon was to war, look what Ex 17:15, 16 says about them.(Moses held up his arms and Israel won the war against the Amelikites.)

Moses built an altar and called it The Lord is my Banner. He said, “For hands were lifted up to the Throne of the Lord. The Lord will be at war against the Amalekites from generation to generation.”

From generation to generation, the Amalekites, come as locusts, to devour us, to loot us and rob us of our peace. Their horses run over our harvest fields and flatten them.The Lord’s sheep have been taken captive by seducing philosophies, by spiritual whoredoms, by deceptions and poverty.Want to save our harvests? Let’s fight the Devourer.Identify him and fight him.

Zechariah 1:18-21 The Four Craftmen.Then the Lord showed me four craftsmen. I asked, ‘What are they coming to do?”He answered “ These are the horns that scattered Judah so that no one could raise his head, but the craftsmen have come to terrify them and throw down these horns of the nations who lifted up their horns against the land of Judah to scatter it’s people.”

Church, you need not hang your head in shame.God is commissioning the craftsmen, those skilled and honed in the Word of God, to tear down the altars these deceivers have built in high places. Tear them down in broad daylight.

David was robbed by the Amalekites, at Ziklag. Read 1 Sam 30

David inquired of the Lord, and God assured him that he would surely overtake the Amalekites, and rescue those who had been taken captive, the young and the old, that belonged to the camp of David.David believed in God’s promise, he went after the Amalekites in hot pursuit and brought back the captives.Vs 19 : Nothing was missing.Not one was missing. All were accounted for.

All these Scriptures are our keys for the present day war against deception.John 17:12Jesus praying to our Father, said: “ While I was with them, I protected them and kept them safe by the Name that you gave me. None has been lost except the one doomed to destruction so that Scripture Would be fulfilled.”Both David and Jesus cared for their sheep. Because of that love, that care, none were lost, nothing was missing, not one was unaccounted for.God is raising up Davids who have the shepherd heart to understand, that not one ought to be missing.

Brothers and sisters in Christ, let us abide in, and by His Word. Let us be hidden by it, let us be strengthened by it, and let us make war, by the strategies His Word offers us.Speak the Word with boldness.
Don’t hide in caves and dens, out of fear.Set your face as flint, to do the work of God.
God is raising up those with the zeal of Phineas, who will annihilate with their sword of the Word, those that bring ‘strange’ mixture into the House of God.

God is placing His watchmen in His church. To watch and warn.

And this is the strategy, for all the soldiers going to war.Tear down the altars.Let not the covetous alter the Altar.Destroy the imports.Touch not the devoted things. Take care that whilst you war, you yourself are not ensnared by the dazzling and seductive hues and textures of the ‘imports’.

Church, here is our call.Expose, by the Word of God, these polluters of our faith. Let us warn our own.
Where are David’s Mighty Men?
You mighty men, trained by God to war, where are you? Rise up. The trumpet has blown.By the counsel of God, recognize your Davids, and accompany them. Dare to pursue the Amalekites, to Ziklag and rescue all that was taken captive.

Prepare church, to hear the sound of the WHIPS, lashing out at the tradesmen in the Temple.
God is handing out Whips, to some of His children.Merchandisers, watch out, can you hear the whip lash?Your carts of merchandise will be overturned. Your pigeons and doves which you sell for the ‘atonement of sins’, will vanish.

Church here is a warning.Ahaz is still sending drawings and blueprints for yet another change in the form of worship.Priests of God, do not aid and abet such wickedness.To the priests who helped Ahaz meddle with the altar, repent, and import no more.
Tear down the altars in high places, lest the Lord tear you.

Let us humbly repent of our whoredoms and return to the Word of God.

THE TABLE OF THE LORD
To many the Table of the Lord has become ‘routine’. Many have taken it too lightly.Many amongst us found the word of God ‘boring’ and unexciting” , so we spiced it up with ‘imports’,Let us examine our hearts.Repent before you partake of His Table.For remember the Bread and the Wine.Partake in it thoughtfully.Which bread are we eating, the leavened or the unleavened?

We must return to the Word of God, but do not be legalistic. Know the Scriptures and the Power of God. There is no remembrance of the Body without the remembrance of the Blood Sacrifice.Remember the death on the Cross, and rejoice in the Resurrection.Remember the Word cannot Live in us without there being death in our flesh.
For the days to come:Exodus 23:29,30I will not drive them out from before you in one year, lest the land become desolate and the beasts of the field become too numerous for you.Little by little I will drive them out from before you, until you have increased, and you inherit the land.

We, in the meanwhile, must return to the Scripture, encourage and warn each other by the correct and pure interpretation. Forsake all works, Church , and let us enter His rest, which we so foolishly and hurriedly abandoned.Many amongst us have sabotaged the prophecies over our lives, because we committed spiritual whoredoms.Let us return to God, and determine now that we will never ever go back to our vomit. Lest He spew us out. This is the time for godly sorrow.Church we’ve got some corporate vomiting to do.
Having done that, let us not return to the vomit but remain in His Presence, or else something worse will happen to us. And we don’t want that do we?Let us spend our time wisely, not in worthless ‘assemblings’, as if in factories, but in diligently searching the Scriptures. Fervently praying in the spirit.

In the coming days, know that God is going to reveal His plans to us a little at a time, step by obedient step, will we hear from Him, the nature and extent of His Purposes for us in these days.
So if any come to you, saying that God has sent them with the ‘ entire blueprint,’ for these times to come, they are lying.And if you believe them, then you have not been healed of your ‘itching ears’.Ask God if the time you spent with Him, was just ‘ a passing confession’.

Step by obedient step. Obey and hear from God. Obey and hear from God.
At times, though you are obedient, it will ‘appear’ as if all are hearing little odd bits and all sound so conflicting and contradictory. Do not be alarmed. Let all the words you have collected, rest at the Feet of the Lord.In the days ahead, your spirit will smile within, as it is led to divinely ponder on them.God will surely explain the bits that are relevant for you, for these times.Trust Him to do that.Above all, seek always to keep your heart pure before God.

As you do this, you will be as a weaned child, not overly concerned about ‘things too marvelous for you to understand.”The Spirit of God in you will constantly gather words, prophecies, even those you’d long forgotten.He will help you recall visions and dreams of old that confirm and when they are threaded together, these words will be as a beautiful necklace. Divine connections will come. People will suddenly appear just to deliver a timely word and disappear. You will walk by faith and not by sight. God is locking His children into His ‘blessed assurance.’ You will not be deterred, come what may.

JUST REMAIN IN HIS REST

Our obedience to His Word, our tender relationship and communications with Him, will help us see for ourselves and hear for ourselves, what God has planned for us. Prophets will only come to confirm what you have already been prepared for, from what you heard and sensed from Him.As we obey, we will no more say as Gideon did….‘Where be the miracles?’

For our hearts will eagerly await, howsoever painful that waiting be ( for it will be painful but the Grace of God will bring us through the fiery furnace of our trials, and help us overcome)So now, let us read His Word again and meditate on it.EX 34:10,11And He said: Behold I make a covenant. Before all your people I will do marvels such as have not been done in all the earth nor in any nation; and all the people among whom you are shall see the work of the Lord. For it is an awesome thing that I will do with you. Observe what I command you this day.

UNGODLY WARS AND UNHOLY ALLIANCES

Eat this Word:John 7:24 KJV: judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgement.
(N.I.V.)Stop judging by mere appearances, and make a right judgement.

BEWARE WHOM YOU TEAM UP WITHBEWARE MAKING FOOLISH COMITTMENTSBEWARE WHOM YOU ENDORSEBEWARE FIGHTING WARS GOD HAS NOT CALLED YOU TOBEWARE INTERFERING IN THE JUDGEMENTS OF GOD

2kg 3:7 And he went and sent to Jehoshaphat the king of Judah, saying, The king of Moab hath rebelled against me: wilt thou go with me against Moab to battle? And he said, I will go up: I am as thou art, my people as thy people, and my horses as thy horses.

Jehoshaphat was totally unequally yoked with the likes of Jehoram, the son of Ahab, King of Israel, and no doubt at Jehoram’s invitation, along went the King of Edom.Jehoshaphat very rashly committed his war machinery to fight a war he did not seek God about.Beware also about whose help you will seek in going to your own wars. The covering of Favor that was upon many of those ministries/persons you readily called on for help in the past, is lifted. It is no more.

2 kings 257 But there came a man of God to him, saying, O king, let not the army of Israel go with thee; for the LORD is not with Israel, to wit, with all the children of Ephraim.
8 But if thou wilt go, do it; be strong for the battle: God shall make thee fall before the enemy: for God hath power to help, and to cast down.
9 And Amaziah said to the man of God, But what shall we do for the hundred talents which I have given to the army of Israel? And the man of God answered, The LORD is able to give thee much more than this.

Like Amaziah, you may already have committed a great deal of resources, financial and spiritual, to yoking with those with whom God is not. Do not lament that loss, let it go.THE LORD IS ABLE TO GIVE THEE MUCH MORE THAN THIS.

In the coming days many Christian leaders will have to prayerfully, rethink on the alliances and affiliations they have made, either for their ministry or their work place.It will be crucial that they do not rashly commit their resources and assets.Do not seek a word from God, after you are halfway to the impending loss, but adhere ever so closely to God’s Principles and do not align yourself with strange mixtures. Pray for guidance in all matters.
As the false teachers, prophets, fellowships are exposed, leaders who are genuine about ‘tearing down false altars’, will look in horror around them. It will seem there’s few they can associate with. In that case, in the absence of specific instructions from God, rather remain alone or silent, till God so otherwise specifies.
Leaders, if you will trust God, spend more time in prayer than on phone calls, worthless ‘assemblings’, and fruitless travels, and seek the Lord earnestly, for if you seek Him, you will surely find Him. He will give you the wisdom and discernment for the times.


In the coming days, situations will arise such as you could not have fathomed, in all your years of ministry. All your God-Given skills need to be sharpened.Many, many leaders have been used as the ‘gate that was ajar’ to usher in the doctrines of demons. Constant onslaught of unchecked flows of ‘guest speakers’ have weakened our defenses. Sickness, lethargy, harlotry, seductions, poverty of the spirit, has crept in undetected through our gates.Leaders, repent. Before God and before the congregations.Having done that, call for a corporate repentance and deliverance.Also, rebuke of disorders at the Lord’s Supper. Let us eat and drink in a worthy manner, let us judge ourselves, that we may be chastened by the Lord, that we may not be condemned with the world. (read 1 Cor. 11:31,32)The message of the Cross is all we have and all we need, let it not be diluted or polluted.As we participate in a worthy manner, many deliverances will take place.

God did warn that even the very elect would be deceived if that were possible.God wants to deliver you and the sheep placed under your stewardship. He wants to pull out from the root, and cleanse from you the very dregs of seduction.Let the shadow of His wings hide you from these spiritual pimps.

In the days ahead…..On the one hand, those who are serious about walking right with God will be hidden in the Wisdom of God. On the other, an unprecedented manifestation of absolute foolishness will be on ‘public display’ in those who are loathe to walk the godly and righteous path. A spirit of recklessness and sheer stupidity will manifest, particularly amongst those who were once considered ‘mature Christians.’‘How could he do such a foolish thing? He’s a leader/mature Christian/ he worked miracles!” This is a question many baby Christians, amongst others, will ask. ‘Even I, as a one-day old Christian know that is wrong,’ is what the new borns will say. Prepare to be astounded by the foolishness that will abound.

In some matters that are visible, God-serving leaders will make a clean breakaway from ungodly persons/works/ministries, though even that will prove heart-wrenching, due to the equations involved.In matters where your spirit has not understood the nature of surgery required, in the malaise before you, God will help you postpone it, but not put it off indefinitely.Beware, postponement does not mean that the dilemma has left you, only that God will give you ‘specifics’, with a revelatory knowledge of your problem, and the appropriate solution.So continue asking God in prayer, about those pending matters, don’t burn the file. The matter has to, and will be dealt with by God, through you. There’s no escaping that.If you are genuine about walking right with God, He will help you overcome.Ministries you once looked up to will come crashing down. That will not be a pretty sight. You will incur criticisms and the wrath of men. So determine now that you will die to self, that Jesus Christ be glorified.Determine now that you will not look back longingly to times gone by.Remember Lot’s wife.BEWARE INTERFERING IN THE JUDGEMENTS OF GOD


2 Chronicles 35:20-24
20 After all this, when Josiah had prepared the temple, Necho king of Egypt came up to fight against Charchemish by Euphrates: and Josiah went out against him.
21 But he sent ambassadors to him, saying, What have I to do with thee, thou king of Judah? I come not against thee this day, but against the house wherewith I have war: for God commanded me to make haste: forbear thee from meddling with God, who is with me, that he destroy thee not.
22 Nevertheless Josiah would not turn his face from him, but disguised himself, that he might fight with him, and hearkened not unto the words of Necho from the mouth of God, and came to fight in the valley of Megiddo.
23 And the archers shot at king Josiah; and the king said to his servants, Have me away; for I am sore wounded.
24 His servants therefore took him out of that chariot, and put him in the second chariot that he had; and they brought him to Jerusalem, and he died, and was buried in one of the sepulchres of his fathers. And all Judah and Jerusalem mourned for Josiah.

Here was Josiah, who had cleansed and prepared the Temple.But he lacked sorely in wisdom, at a most crucial hour in his life. He rashly and most foolishly wanted to ‘meddle with God’s judgments.’Judgment of God was upon Charchemish, and Necho was the instrument God was using.Josiah could not rein in his rash spirit. He died. His disobedience killed him.Leaders/ Ministries/work could come to a ‘sudden’ and seemingly premature death due to meddling with God’s judgments.

Leaders in the coming days be prepared for all manner of communications. Many will approach you to ally with them to fight certain situations. Seek God.Let your spirit be in harmony with God’s Word and discern wisely whom you are running to ‘save’.God is surely judging many at this time. Some of His instruments are the hands of the ‘world system’ (King Necho)

Tax Authorities, the Police, the Law of the Land, such will be used to bring appropriate justice upon those who have provoked God.You may not see the ‘Hand’ of God in it, and rush to their aid, in the presumption that a great injustice is being meted out to them.A ’multitude’ of Christians (all over the world) who have broken the law of the land are coming to the fore. They will be exposed.Do not operate beyond your God given strength. For the majority will be guilty of the crimes they are accused of, (only a very rare few will be falsely implicated, or more harshly judged than is merited under the law. God will surround the innocent with angelic helps.) Pray for discernment for yourself in such matters.Let the authorities in whose hands they have fallen deal with it. Waste not your time, resources, money and reputation to be even linked to such as are getting their long over-due justice. Such will tug at your emotions, and divert your attention to Scriptures taken out of context.Those who run uninvited to ‘meddle in God’s affairs”, will themselves get implicated in those wrangles. Beware, for now you have been forewarned.

The devil is using some in your circle of influence to appeal to your emotions.Choose this day. Will you be a man pleaser or God pleaser?Many will misunderstand you when you choose the counsel of God. So be it.

2 Chr 19:2-3
2 And Jehu the son of Hanani the seer went out to meet him, and said to king Jehoshaphat, Shouldest thou help the ungodly, and love them that hate the LORD? Therefore is wrath upon thee from before the LORD.
3 Nevertheless there are good things found in thee, in that thou hast taken away the groves out of the land, and hast prepared thine heart to seek God.
We know from God’s Word, that both Josiah and Jehoshaphat were godly men. But their foolish allegiances cost them their lives.
Jehoshaphat just carried on doing his own thing.

In 2 Chronicles 20: 35-37 Eliezar prophesied against Jehoshaphat’s allegiance with Ahaziah who acted wickedly.37b Because you have allied yourself with Ahaziah, the Lord has destroyed your works.Then the ships were wrecked so that they were not able to go to Tarshish.

So though you may have made your peace with God, restored the right order in your fellowships in the days and years to come, ( for the corporate cleansing is surely a mammoth task) , yet, you could ‘miss’ God’s best for you by endorsing the false ministries, and allying and seeking help from those with whom God is not.
Many ministries you knew did for a season have a great anointing, but discern carefully, for the Glory of God has departed from many. They are simply going through the fleshly ‘motions, now. Go on, check carefully. Let your spirit discern.

But you, you who believe that you have made your peace with God, know that you have a long journey ahead of you. Many pitfalls still lie ahead, so therefore:Do not judge by mere appearances, make ye a good judgment.
Beware whose war you fight, and beware whom you recruit to help fight yours.Beware whom you endorse. Thoroughly check every ministry/person/s you support.Leaders are to serve choice food and help protect the sheep from eating trash. Don’t you usher in the ‘trash’ vendors.Do not think that by inviting false ministries, and ‘leaving it to the good judgment of the sheep’ to decide whether they accept the false teachings or not, gets you as leaders off the hook. There is no ‘democracy of doctrines’, where the most popular wins. You are to follow only the undiluted Word of God.

Be warned, for you will not escape by such deplorable attempts to ‘transfer’ the liability.So then what is the responsibility of Christian leaders?Yes, the sheep have their own God-given discernment skills, but you leaders cannot escape liability.Did the congregations ‘import’ the false ministries or did you?Did they not ‘enter in’ through your gates, under your ‘banner’?Did you not endorse them, encouraging all to attend and ally?
Leaders are trusted by congregations to know better. To check thoroughly the antecedents of those who bring in false doctrines.SHEEP TRUST YOU TO DO YOUR BASIC HOMEWORK.

Sheep come to you expecting that you will teach them the true word of God. Is this not a breach of trust?Lives are at stake here. You work so hard, to bring each sheep carefully into the fold, and false teachers you’ve invited, bring sin and confusion into the camp.Repent. Don’t justify. God will help you set things right if you’re truly sincere about walking in obedience to His Commands.

And if you haven’t yet eaten this Word, eat it and digest it now.

Stop judging by mere appearances, and make a right judgment. (N.I.V.)

BEWARE FALSE REVIVALSGod in these days is raising up a multitude of prophets, that He may train them for the task ahead, since what is to come has not been before. Absolute obedience is required devoid of emotionalism. God is honing and testing the listening skills of His prophets.
On the other hand, one of the ploys of deception will be to subtly ‘impress’ young and exuberant prophets to grandly announce a ‘revival’. There is a true revival coming.

Prophets Beware! Check carefully the contents of the words entrusted to you. Seek God’s Face for the right interpretation. The message, dreams, visions, may themselves be right in the recall of them, but due to inadequate experience, a wrong interpretation, and lack of the knowledge of God’s ways and Word, unfamiliarity with ‘signs and symbols’ employed by God to warn, to teach you and others, will deprive you of ‘learning skills, on the job’.
Young Prophets, know that the ‘Weary Eyed Eagles’ (See “ Vision of Eagles. in a Hurry” …posting on the Forum) will discern the truth, but you yourselves may miss out on vital life- saving corrections. In western countries, certain symbols appear innocent, but some far-flung countries worship them as deities.

So please carefully examine before God, their demonic significance, if any, in your messages, dreams, visions, and take seriously any warnings, contained therein for you. Do not run with messages you have not fully understood. Wait. God is good, ask, and He will give you the wisdom.

In the future, the ‘false revival’ will be spearheaded by the same group of false apostles, prophets teachers. Being ‘media savvy’, these leaders will package themselves as a ‘New Improved Version’. Do take the time to examine the inside of the package, you’ll find it as desolate and barren as the old one.There will be a great ‘stage-managed’ but (subdued ) show of repentance, (false) humility and the deft application of flattery towards those true prophets who had once warned them. They will ‘freely’ confess,” You were right brother!”Beware they love money too much to ‘just let it go’.

A few of the adult true prophets will fall for it, hook line and sinker, if they check it with their emotions rather than with God. Because it will all look ‘so real.’ Beware, for these false leaders will have only dusted the surface, but not pulled down their high places, ( just as the majority of the Kings in the Bible). Prophets, take great care whose ministries you endorse, you may be in danger of losing your own credibility.

The ‘false’ revival could almost fool us into forsaking the wait and final preparation for the TRUE REVIVAL, which is on it’s way. Beware, don’t presuppose what it’s going to look like.

God is cleansing by fire in these days those who are called to him. Those who genuinely repent, and walk with God, and don’t go awhoring, worship not man, but rather pull down the man-made altars in their lives, those who return not to the vomit------for such, the days ahead are glorious. He will help you overcome. Divine protection and Provision and relationships of God will await you, wheresoever you are.

But here’s a warning for you- Beware self-righteousness.

21.4.06I received this word a couple of weeks ago.

WARNING FOR PROPHETS
Prophets should take care. Many among you are copying words of prophecies that were originally given by God, to individuals, He Chose for that specific dream/vision/ message.
Now the Eaglets (you may be grown up, but you are eaglets when you do such things!) may think it does not matter as it’s God’s message, not man’s.

Right! But when God Gives a message to His prophets, they go into painful labor, before the message is birthed. The child ( i.e. the message/dream/vision ) takes on the characteristics of the prophet, which God has given him/her, and it has God’s Fingerprint throughout.
Read Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel or any of the other prophets. Each was given his own style and peculiar method of delivery by signs, symbols, startling vocabulary, odd assignments etc.
Even today, all prophets have a ‘particular dream/ vision/ message delivery pattern,’ that God has made unique to them. It’s as distinctive as DNA or fingerprints.

The message God Gives, always contains key prophetic words/signs/symbols and impressions for specific reader/s or listener/s. So prophets when you copy words from other prophets the essence is lost. The key words that were meant to convict the targeted listeners/readers are removed in the process of copying, because you are kidnapping that ‘baby’.

Not being the authentic messengers, the worst possible thing is that you who copy, are thereby delivering the words either too early, or too late, to an audience God may not have targeted for this time. You may well be sending some seekers, on a wild goose chase. You may also possibly, be laying pearls before swine. In this way, you create confusion and disorder.

Well, you think, if that is so, God in His Grace can cover your errors. Of course He can.
We know that we serve a Loving and Amazing God. But God does not condone theft. You know what a tough life it is for prophets, God won’t let you off easily. You know that the standard of discipline for Eagles is far greater than that for chickens!

The prophet from whom you stole the message, has had to go through a grueling spiritual journey to reach the Mountain. He has been trained by the Holy Spirit. He has sighed, he has groaned. He has travailed hard in prayer, intercession, repentance, surmounting great heights to reach the Mount, that He may hear from His Master.

He has journeyed through his own Kidron Valley, he has drunk from the Brook- Jesus. He has had to die multiple times, to the flesh, because he heard His Master call him. ‘Come My son/daughter, come I want to talk to you. Take My yoke upon you. I have a fire to lock in your bones. I want to ‘impregnate you with My Word.’ Come up and record this message that I want you to deliver to My Beloved children.’
And then what do some of you do? You steal, it from places, where God may have ordained it to be resting and waiting for a time.
You make false claims. You want people to think that the baby is yours.
Not nice, prophets, not nice! Many among you don’t realize the gravity of what you are doing. This is serious, Eagles.
Repent.
If you stubbornly persist, remember that Jesus, the One Greater than Solomon, is watching. The real ‘mother’ of the baby, will get justice, from His Court, but you yourself will be severely dealt with by the Lord, so get serious.

FALSE PROPHETS2 Cor 11:13-15
For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.
True prophets do see the angels of God, and authentic dreams and visions, and many have experienced being ‘caught away’ by the Spirit, as was Philip in Acts 8:39,40

But this message is about that breed of prophets whose lusts have trapped them in the realms of the angel of light. They boast not of Lord Jesus, but of the angels they secretly love to worship. Their words sound like an astrologer’s forecast. They sell their wares of dreams and interpretations. They fool the people by their tall tales of transliterations into realms, which are essentially the hideouts of demons. And their listeners like to have it so. But let none covet their ‘skills’, nor waste time and money listening at their gates. KNOW YE ALL, that their end shall be according to their works.

Now, you Eagles, who love the Lord, here’s a warning! Some among you are flying extremely low, and you know it. This is most unbecoming. Rise up. Soar.

24th APRIL 06
ON GODLY COUNSEL
( King Rehoboam)1 Kings 12:8 But he rejected the counsel which the elders gave him, and consulted the young men who had grown up with him, who stood before him.

Rehoboam chose the younger and the inexperienced to guide him on such vital matters. He rejected the counsel given to him by the elders. The result was that his kingdom was then divided.

Beware, many amongst us would rather listen to ‘youthful exuberance ‘, because they speak words that tickle our fancy. They spell to us the easy way out. They feed our egos and our arrogance. They enhance and reinforce our philosophies and doctrines. Many today are rejecting godly counsel because they think it ‘sounds negative’, and requires them to humble themselves, and even look ‘powerless’ to some extent.

Those such as Rehoboam, turn not away from the advice you have received through elders, for if you reject it, division is lurking at your door.

Pastors/leaders in church and in your work place, there are those ‘elders’ giving you godly counsel. You are rejecting their godly counsel, because these elders look ‘fuddy duddy ‘ and old fashioned. To you they seem ‘out of touch’ with the realities of the times. They ‘look boring’. What they say appears boring. You are looking for the radical, the unconventional. You are on the verge of causing a major split, a great division, due to your lack of insight.

The ‘youth’ you are listening to are of your own immature stature. Hearken, hearken to the voice of those who have long walked this path. You are in danger of being solely responsible for divisions.

Jeremiah chapters 40 and 42, we read that the remnant left behind from the least even unto the greatest came near to Jeremiah seeking that the prophet go before the Lord on their behalf that they get godly counsel/direction.
But as we read these chapters we realize that they had no intention of following the directions of God. They wanted to go to Egypt inspite of the severe warnings of God against it, through His prophet Jeremiah.
Godly counsel was eagerly sought , but none wanted to obey it.

Today, many believers want to read prophecies, surf the nets for them, run to the front in churches hoping that the Guest prophet will say ” you, yes you brother in that gray shirt”. “You sister in the pink dress.” This tickles many.

In these times,’ hearing’ what God is Saying is more fashionable than doing what He’s Asking.
Beware those who lust after prophecies, but obey not, what God is Saying through them.

Many reject godly counsel because it sounds so ‘simple’ so akin to commonsense.
There seems nothing exciting or glamorous about commonsense.

Such, are looking for counsel that will fall like a ‘bolt of lightening’ from the skies. They are diligently searching for the complicated, and listening for ‘intellectual’ sounds in the contents, so as to be seduced further.
There are a ‘remnant’, who have been separated from a larger group, due to the dealings of God upon the latter. You have received counsel to do nothing, just maintain the status quo. You are ambitious to move on to greater things. Do not despise this simple instruction. DO NOTHING UNTIL GOD SO OTHERWISE SPECIFIES. Beware, moving in the flesh could land you in grave trouble.

Be warned children of God, the time has come to give account of godly counsels received thus far. This is the time to quickly review the choices made in these past few years, check where we rejected such divine advise, that came to us through older family members, elders, leaders, friends, prophets, strangers, well-wishers. What did we reject? What did we disobey? The time has come to repent.

There are some among you, upon whom is the call and anointing such as David. God has hidden you. For your sakes God is making foolish the counsel received by your ‘Absoloms’. Those who are looking to usurp your God-Given authority, will not succeed, though at this present time, it very nearly looks like they will.
Many are waiting, struggling and writhing in pain and suffering, still looking for directions. Please sit before God and let Him show you the various instances that He sent you messages, ages ago, but you hearkened them not.

Repent.

Believe and you will be established.

To those among you who are sincerely and truthfully waiting before God, the word is, ’do not make haste’. Continue to wait. Encourage yourself in the Lord. There is no delay with God. You are being prepared for a work such as you have not done before. Your flesh will resist such extreme change, so the waiting in faith is in essence a preparation for the ‘new you’. If you act hastily, you will miss these joyful times of seeing how God helps you make that transition.
