Look Up Your Redemption is Near

The Sky is NOT Falling …… It is declaring His Glory!

I’ll be honest, I don’t remember the full story of the falling sky, but almost every week, I hear some dooms-day reporter, retelling the devils plans and the possibility of big trouble on the way and it makes me think of the chicken in this story.

Seeing the giants in the land and just how easily they could rip us limb from limb does not make us prophetic. Your natural eyes give you information and even your spirit man can inform you of activity in the spirit realm that is at odds with the purposes and promises of God.

This should not surprise any of us. Jesus already told us that the thief comes to steal, kill and destroy.

“BUT I HAVE COME THAT THEY MAY HAVE LIFE AND HAVE IT TO ITS FULLEST MEASURE”.

When you can hear these words of Jesus, and they resonate deep within you as a personal and a national promise, then you are beginning to understand how much God loves you.

For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, and whoever believes in Him will NOT DIE but have everlasting LIFE!

This is what we, the prophetic generation must ‘see’. How is God going to perform this great work on the planet? Through us! And it begins with seeing and saying what God is seeing and saying.
Get this clear, God has no problems. He has answers and we have them in our mouth. In the beginning was the Word and everything was made by Him and Nothing was made without Him. Say the Word, Pray the Word, Believe the Word and Do the Word.

Jesus said, The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is upon me to preach the Good News to the Poor. Here is a good place to start. Become a preacher / prophet of Good News, to the poor, the undeserving, the sinner and the tax collector and the Church. Begin to see God’s great love for them, which He shed abroad in YOUR heart for them. His plan is to use the Church to display His manifold wisdom to the principalities and powers. This is Grace in all its beauty!

I am not discounting the burden that God gives us as people who stand in the gap. There is a time for everything. But, Jesus said, His yoke is easy and His burden is light. God’s wrath has been poured out on the body of His Son and He is forever more inviting us into His inheritance.
The earth groans and satans power is still at work on the planet therefore the Church must arise to shine, announcing that the time of the Lord’s favour has come. Let us be the ones who declare the goodness of God and prepare the way for Him to come.

One way we prepare the way is to go up on a high mountain and shout it out that God has made a way for everyone to have eternal life and to know the righteousness, joy and peace He offers.
The way of the upright is like the new dawn, it grows brighter and brighter until the whole earth is under the dominion of the King of Kings.
As the Holy Spirit shows you ‘things to come’, see God’s desire shining through it, to call people to himself.

SO Let me tell you here, what I ‘see; whoever we are, we only see in part. This is my part, born out of the presence of God.

I see this nation, even now, being positioned for an outpouring of the Holy Spirit like it has never been seen before. I see the Church being turned up-side-down by the grace of God, because of Jesus’ finished work on the cross. Every leader that is truly called of God will be included even if they have been hard at hearing up until this point, because God does not revoke His gifts and His mercy is everlasting.
However, some prophetic servants will emerge and give leadership because they have been guarding their heart and being an ambassador of unity and love. Satan has not been able to use them to prophesy his intentions but they have been set apart as heralds of God’s love.
People who have faithfully been praying, ‘Your Kingdom Come’ and ‘Your Will be Done’, will be rewarded like the prophet in the temple who saw Jesus as a baby and recognized Him as Messiah.

I see the demonic, new age spirituality backfiring on the devil and the Harry Potter generation becoming warriors in the army of God, who understand that their wrestle is not against flesh and blood but against the darkness itself. They will ‘get it’ and carry forward the promises of God.

This is The Great South Land of the Holy Spirit and the time is getting near for this Word to mature and the ripples are already being felt in prayer rooms and closets even now. I see stadiums filled with Warriors. Worship Warriors, who are not distracted by the goings on of the lesser beings, but who are captivated by the Presence of God and crying out to Him for justice on the earth and announcing it as they see it forming in the heavens, calling things as if they already are. How lovely are the feet of Him who bring Good News. The age of the prophets who have visions and dreams, previews of the manifest goodness of God, is now. I see Australia as a hungry nation, a sending nation, a Revival Nation. The restoration of the First Nation People to places of prominence and influence is a sign of the restoration of all things as God has promised.

This gospel of grace and hope, will be preached openly and zealously and in increasing frequency in the future. Those who judge will become irrelevant as those who can ‘see’ are given a voice. To all who want to participate in this move of God, repentance is required. Whether you are a sinner or a saint, change, in the attitude of your mind, is necessary. New wine cannot be poured into old wineskins. Something has shifted, it is time to shout. There is a cloud, it may only be the size of a man’s hand and it may still be on the horizon, but now is the time to do what you must to get ready for rain.

Please be encouraged and become a carrier of Good News. Forward this to a friend. Remember, your commitment to this regiment requires you to pray for 10 minutes daily, sowing the Word into the future and unlocking the destiny of our nation. I am praying the ‘Crossing Over’ prayer, at 10000warriors.com as I move into a new decade.

Merry Christmas. Do not despise the day of small beginnings, this all started with a tiny baby in an obscure manger and will end with every eye ‘seeing’ and every ear ‘hearing’. Be Blessed,

Humbly yours,
Julie & the 10W team

Bad News is Boring

I am soooo over Bad News Prophets. You know anyone can read the paper, watch the news and come to the conclusion that Australia and in fact the World is in trouble. You need not be overly prophetic to 'see' what is wrong with your neighbours, the government, the schools and XMAS. I know it is meant to be Christmas and the world is trying to rub Jesus out of our experience.

HOWEVER, we are not people who bring an evil report. When we, the people of God, survey the land we return with the Good News, 'We can surely take it". When I read my Bible, I see that God says that the Whole Earth will be filled with his Glory, Hallelujah! Therefore I prophesy and 'SEE' things according to what God has said.

With my natural eyes I see scattered, dead bones, dry, disconnected and saying, all hope is gone. But with my Eyes of Faith, I 'see' a vast army, strong in battle, standing on their feet, full of the Spirit of God and ready to march. Nothing is created without the Power of the Word. It was in the beginning, and is still in the beginning of every new thing. So join with me and say, "Come breath of God, from the four winds and breathe in us.

Stop being a reporter, someone who reports from this realm. And become a prophet of the Living God, whose plans for us are for good and not for evil, to give us a future and a hope!

When a Stranger Calls

Often, when a stranger calls, they are either trying to sell something to you or ask you questions that are none of their business and of no benefit to you, now or ever. HOWEVER, we have a God who wants to talk to us and He will sometimes use strangers, angels or otherwise, to encourage you and bolster you on your journey as you trust in Him. Let me share this testimony of God's goodness to me today.

I live in Logan, and I believe with all my heart that God is wanting to unleash the Church in this city in unprecendented ways as we join TOGETHER in this common goal of agreeing in prayer. I already hear good reports about the stirrings of God as people are praying. Churches and leaders are again feeling the hunger pangs of eternity rumbling in their spirit. The Spirit and the Bride are getting in sync for the promises of God to manifest in exciting and liberating ways. But it is just the beginning and to the natural eye we have a way to go.

There is a crusade planned for our city in the new year. Dr Bill Newman, (evangelist) will preach over a couple of nights and we hope to see a harvest of disciples born into the kingdom. A friend of his was praying in this regard when God spoke to him and showed him something with which he could encourage Ps Bill. On hearing the Prophetic Word, Bill Newman said to him, "I have someone I want you to tell this to". This stranger, not from Logan, unknown to me and to the dream I carry for this city, called.

"Father, I thank you for your voice and for faithful people who speak life into the dreams of others".

He called me, introduced himself to me and simply said, that Dr Bill had asked him to pass on a message to me. Then he said, 'In prayer I felt this strongly in my heart', "God has set aside 10000 scrappers, (fighters, warriors) in this city who will contend for the Kingdom". And that was it. God wants to talk to you today!

10W has a presence in many cities but I live here, in Logan, so I took this word, stuck it straight in my quiver and will use it many times to eradicate every thought that stands contrary to the commission and calling of God in me. I believe that God can save a nation in a day and I will do what I can to inherit that testimony in my city. So Warriors, 'be strong and VERY COURAGEOUS!

And work for the Peace & Prosperity of the city where I sent you into exile. Pray to the Lord for it, for it's welfare will determine your welfare. Jer 29 v 7

Picture This!

The night at the Logan Entertainment Centre was fantastic. Seeing people who didn't even know each other, stand side by side and cry out to God was BEAUTIFUL. I can only imagine how that must bless God. It is true, the Bible says over and over again in the Psalms, that we bless the Lord in many ways. So last Sunday, I am sure God was blessed, we were totally blessed and I believe that the spiritual climate was changed over many cities and towns.

Several Churches contacted me with reports of God's spirit stirring up the Warrior in their Church and initiating repentance, worship, warfare and VICTORY SHOUTS!

My heart is overwhelmed with a sense of anticipation as we are moving toward the purposes of God more and more. Can I ask you all to read and reread, the vision given to Ezekiel in chapter 37. This is the dream, an army, on their feet, ready to prophesy. Just at the time the 'whole house of Israel' is saying, 'all hope is gone', that is the time to prophesy and see the manifestation of power throught the Church, which is His body.

You will find pictures of our Logan event at the link above or at 10000warriors.com

Grace and Peace to you and yours as you continue to believe and pray,
Julie

cliche's can be extrodinary in content

We are an army. That is the cliche. We sometimes bore of ideas of which we are very familiar. But ask yourself, am I a soldier? If 'we are an army' blows over your head with a might ho-hum, then you may just be dangerously accountable for a revelation you do not manifest.

Yes, we are a bride, we are His beloved and He is ours. Yes we are a family where we find nurture and companionship for this journey of life. We are His house, where God dwells by His Spirit, NOW THAT SHOULD BLOW OUR SOCKS OFF.

But we are also an army. Paul admonished Timothy to 'fight the GOOD fight'. When we pray, we fight. But we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but principalities and powers, hosts of wickedness in high places. Not something we should address at our leisure.

So tomorrow, the troops have been rallied, and we are ready to fight for the King and His cause. To administer justice and grace to a scared world we must stand together and defeat these hosts of wickedness that are trespassing on our inheritance. 2 Sam 14, the story of Jonathon. Famous words, he says to his armour bearer, "Come on, let's go"

Waking Up!

This is how I have come to understand the state of the Church in this nation.
In Acts 12, Peter is in prison. Herod had an intention to kill him but was politely waiting for the Passover to pass-over. In the meantime, the church was fervently praying for him at the home of some followers. Rhoda, the domestic help, was looking out for people who may arrive late at the prayer meeting, to let them in. Peter, in the jail, was pretty relaxed about his fate because he was asleep.

Let me interrupt here, to say that God has shown me this is a prophetic parable of the state of the Church in this nation. In regards to her collective potential, she is sleepy. Peter carried in him, all the potential and destiny of the glorious church, as do we. Peter was chosen to be a mouthpiece for this Good News and to unlock the supernatural power of God upon the earth, as are we. Circumstance sees him in prison, guarded by 4 squads of 4 soldiers, designed and determined to keep him locked up and they were happy he was asleep because it made their job to contain him, easy.

We pull down strongholds, (squads of soldiers), when we speak life and declare the intentions of God over the Church, which is His body. We see then, as the Church prays, that something amazing takes place in that cell, Peter wakes up. Then we read of miracles; visiting angels, opened prison doors, powerless guards and CITY GATES OPENING. Hallelujah!

You must see though, that when Peter arrives at the house they don’t even want to admit him because they thing that Rhoda is confused. No angels at the prayer meeting, no breaking chains or doors miraculously opening. When we pray, things change in another realm. I would love to see the manifest glory of God in all my prayer meetings but I will pray anyway, because God says that the weapons we engage with are mighty to pull down strongholds, so we pray!

I was asked recently, “What is the one thing you hang on to?” I thought about it for a minute, because there are so many promises I hold dear, but then I remembered something very special. In Ps 144 it begins, Blessed be God, who trains me to fight and to do battle… The Psalm finishes with a promise which holds the destiny of the Church and the Call of God for us as a nation in good stead. It is what I am believing for, a thriving, life-giving Church with all the potential for world changing inside her. The promise is;

“May your sons flourish in their youth, may your daughters be pillars in the house of God, may you be loaded down with goods and overflowing blessing” (my paraphrase)

This is what we need to carry this Good News forward and extend the Kingdom in His name. Hold on to this promise so that we can grow stronger from generation to generation and see the Goodness of God and the Power of His presence cover this land like water covers the sea.

Yours,
for an awakening of Biblical proportions.

CHARGE!

I re-watched ‘The Lighthorsemen’ this week. If you have not seen the movie, please as your duty to know your spiritual history, watch it, in fact buy it. It demonstrates an aspect of the anzac spirit which I believe exists in the heart of every one of us, waiting for a cause, a risk and an adventure. On the DVD it reads;
‘They did what they were told, they didn’t know it was impossible’.

It is a prophetic parable for Australians to read.
In a nutshell, Beersheba, the gateway to Jerusalem was occupied by the Turks. The British army, which included 800 Australian Lighthorsemen, needed to take the city by nightfall or suffer defeat by the desert. The Australian Officer put up his hand to lead the challenge and cross the 3km plain, charge into the town and secure the wells for the sake of the allies. In so doing, a prophetic moment was created by pulling down an enemy stronghold and restoring the Well of the Oath, and opening up the territory, for the Jews.

I believe that as we stir up the warrior in our own heart and collectively call up the warrior spirit in the heart of the Church, such prophetic moments will present themselves to us and we will put up our hand and say, Yes, here am I.

10 / 10 / 10 - is just such a moment. Please don’t miss it!

ONLY 10 DAYS TO GO!

They did not know at that moment they were affecting the balance of power in the midst of a greater war. They just heard the call, mounted up and charged into history and became symbolic of a true warrior, fearless, brave and free.


It is your honour and duty to gather people to this moment. God says in Ezekiel 36 v 36 that He is ready to hear our prayers. He is faithful and anticipates our ‘asking’.
No -body can say, ‘I am not useful to the Kingdom cause’, if they will only pray. We do not wrestle against flesh and blood but against principalities and powers. Note; wrestling is a given. What we fail to attend to today, will demand our attention at a later time. So here we go - gather your friends, your family and your church. Get everybody geared up, full of faith and ready, then declare the promises of God over everything.

He has given us the power to call things that do not yet exist as though they already do. So we prophesy the favour and peace of God over our cities. We unlock the prosperity of Heaven over our Churches and ask for the unleashed power of God to flow through His body, so that many will be saved.

Contact me at info@10000warriors.com if you have any questions. Go to tenthousandwarriors.blogspot.com and be inspired towards this great mandate to pull down the Great South Land of the Holy Spirit in your region. Read Judges 4 to find out what happened to those who ignored the calling up.

I thank you for your diligence in being one who sees and hears. May your faith reward you and may His face shine upon you in a very special way during this campaign.

Humbly Yours
Julie Blasé & 10W team

10 / 10 / 10

In your home, your Church or somewhere in your town or city ... on this day ...PRAY!

I went to a conference with some very respected speakers at it and I was both encouraged and challenged by their words. But a sadness settled over me because the things they spoke were not foreign to me or probably you. It is a dream that thousands of people in our land, carry in their heart.

They spoke of God's desire to pour out His Spirit in an unprecendented way in this nation. They spoke of the great need for prayer to rise from the heart of the Church and of unity and a great gathering of kindred hearts to the feet of Jesus.

I take nothing away from what they said and am grateful for their visit but my australian comrades, where is your voice. Speak to your mountains of indifference and fear, do not apologize for your passion, or for your great expectations of a glorious Church who bears His image and His name. We are a people who defy the status quo and do what's right. And what is right is that our sons would flourish in their youth and our daughters be pillars in God's house.

It is not OK with me, for them to stray from His love and mercy. He wants to fill them, bless them, give them the desires of their heart but we must pray and see His Kingdom Come in this way. What we ignore today, will demand our attention on a later date. But we are not of those who draw back but pressing on, we will see Him.

On the 10/10/10 all over our nation people will gather in groups small and large and Ask for our Nation. Let's be the movers and shakers of this moment and gather others in His name and for this cause.

When I think of all this I fall to my knees and pray...

Asking for Nations

If you want personal revival, you spend time with God in personal prayer. Personal problem, personal prayer. Corporate need, corporate prayer. Regional issues, require regional prayer.

Who is asking for Nations? Joel chapter 2 is full of promises but is preceded with an admonition to CALL everyone out to pray. A gathering the prophet calls, 'A solemn Assembly"

What we face if we don't pray could be a far greater inconvenience than taking the trouble now to get in the presence of God and allow him to share a burden with you. Asking for Nations is on God's agenda. Ps 2 v 8 reminds us that the earth has been given to man, only ask.

Please gather others to this idea and we will move ever closer to the Church of our dreams. It is in God's heart and it is in our mouth. Only ASK!

I'm not busy, I'm living!

When I ask how people are they say, "busy" as if they were some sort of slave. Are you busy or are you living. When you are fully living, you will be busy, so be busy - living! 10000warriors.com has been encouraging you to gather your friends, organize a prayer moment, and be a part of the biggest prayer event ever. So stop cleaning the house and make some phone calls. Put off the new floor this month and print some flyers, gather the Body of Christ TOGETHER and LIVE. Eph 2 v 20 - 22

In the Judges story from where we get our mandate to call up warriors in defence of His Kingdom, there are some people, tribes, who opt to stay out of the battle and therefore out of the victory. Strangely enough they are not directly asked to participate and yet are scolded by the prophet after the fact for not responding to the call for solidarity. Their fate ends up worse that the fight would have cost them.

There is a certain effort and maybe even risk involved in pursuing the High call to be a worship warrior and one who takes it upon themself to pray. However, it is nothing compared to the great sense of satisfaction that comes from being there when the Victory is announced in the earth realm. What an absolute JOY it is for those who put their hand up and VOLUNTEER to participate.

Excuse me - Just then I was interupted by a down-pour and I raced out to cover the boat. Peter does not like it when his boat fills up with water, go figure. While at first it seemed a real annoyance to have to go out there, after getting quite wet and laughing alot with my daughter, (it was harder than it sounds and involved, ladders, tarps and some yelling) I came back in feeling just that much more alive than when I left. Choose to fully experience this moment in history, for the Kingdoms sake and the sake of our children.

Read Psalm 144 and believe the promise of its final verses. Yours for Revival, Julie

Only sleeping.

Is the Church known as a praying people? Does the building where you fellowship become the 'House of Prayer' when people are there. Is it often filled with people who give their time to the cause of calling down the Kingdom? Do you ever go there, or anywhere, for no other reason that to be in His Presence and Pray. Do you have a place to pray? A place where you easily settle into the mood that quietens your spirit ready to enjoy the Kings attention?

I was in a waiting room once, when a muslim man stood up quietly, took out his prayer mat and kneeled in a space over to one side, began to bow and nod in the tradition of his religion. While I understand his motivation is not love from grace but is rather driven by other factors, I could not help but be moved by his devotion to an idea and his indifference to the rest of us in the room.

Power is released when we Praise, when we pray and when we believe, 'out loud'. The same mighty power that raised Jesus from the dead and seated Him high above ... everything. He is enthroned, crowned when we Worship. Call it worship, praise or prayer - these disciplines are our expression of trust in our beautiful, wonderful Saviour.

I believe that a widespread move of God is our only hope in regards to seeing the future of the Church, the Bride of Christ, flourish in our lifetime. I know that she, as the Body, has many great attributes and there are many things she is doing well. But she must begin to court the presence of God like her life depends on it - BECAUSE IT DOES!

Logan Entertainment Centre

Calling all Logan residents and leaders. God is doing something wonderful among us, do you not perceive it? What an amazing God we serve. In 2008 I was doing my annual prayer walk across the city when the Holy Spirit whispered several things to me. A dream was born. In the past week, all I can say here is that a divine appointment has been realised giving me great confidence in all that God promised me, on and since that day. Like a down payment on a dream.

On Sunday, October 10, we as the Church in Logan City, (and other cities too) have 3 options. 1. Lets bring our whole church to the Entertainment Centre at 5pm and lift our Voice in triumph, believing that He is faithful who promised. 2. Send a delegation from your church to join with us there. and / or 3. Take 10 minutes aside from your Sunday Service and pray with the focus of 10W which is easily ascertained from our website, in a nutshell - ASK OF ME AND I WILL GIVE THE NATIONS AS YOUR INHERITANCE.

From the east coast to the west I am believing that the Church will stand and pray for these Holy, (set apart) 10 minutes and send a chill down the spine of our enemy and deliver a breath of Holy Ghost fresh air to the dreams and destiny of our nation. AMEN Lets do this thing!

It time to be proud to be praying

At the beginning of the year I heard the Holy Spirit tell me to follow the template of Esther and He would show me how to keep 10W on track. I have no intention of starting something in the Spirit and continuing it in the flesh. That does not sound like fun. To be honest I have had to take authority over my members to stave off anxiety and rest in peace as we draw closer to the day when the Church roars. I will work as hard as I can to make the day a success but I am just a dim reflection of how much Jesus desires for us to ASK OF HIM Ps 2 v 8. We have this treasure in earthen vessels. The treasure is the point so I put my body under, and declare that I will seek His Kingdom and rest in His peace as I cast all my cares upon Him. We serve a wonderful Saviour. God has faithfully led me through the story of this brave woman as she stood up for a nation and redeemed an inheritance in the process. If I perish I perish! Now that is a liberating way to live. I was driving along the other day and in my daydream I realised that with just one small degree of difference I could be in the Presence of God, instantly. It seemed like a comfort to me and delivered me from all fear. Dying is not the worst thing that can happen. Our eternity is secure so LIVE. And they did not love their lives so much they were afraid to die! So I, like Esther, send my letters to diverse places, both online and snail mail hoping always to find the man of peace and have the call to prayer ripple out exponentially. Let your Kingdom Come

Beginnings of 10W - Biography

BIO on 10W – Who are we. Founded May 2009
We are a group of people who believe that ‘With God all things are Possible’.

I, Julie Blasé, founded 10W after a specific call from the heart of God.
As I was reading my Bible in my ‘closet’ one morning, the words in a particular passage lifted off the page and took on life as they burned into me;

“Call up 10000 warriors … and I will give you victory”.

As I sat back, amazed at this feeling, I said, YES, Yes! I really in that moment had no idea what or how I was going to do this. I had not previously been involved in the prayer movement, although I did love to pray. I had also, already become what I now call a
‘10 minute warrior’. This was because in my busy life I had been seizing these bite-sized pieces of time to engage with Heaven on behalf of my family, church and city.

As I felt the Holy Ghost excitement mount, a series of brilliant thoughts came to me in less than 5 minutes. I will list them as they came to me.
1. Invite others to become ’10 minute warriors’
2. Pray for Peace, Prosperity and the Power of God to come. (Binding up strife & violence, greed & poverty and indifference & jealousy).
3. Get people involved in prayer campaigns like the 52 days taken for Nehemiah’s to rebuild the wall, or Esthers 3 days of prayer and fasting)
4. Gather people for the Victory Shout at the end of the campaign.

This was freshly breathed to me from Heaven and I was not going to miss this opportunity to partner with Jesus to see His Kingdom Come in this land. What followed was the miracle favour of God on our endeavours to ‘call up’ and to ‘cry out’. We have prayer walked and worshipped long, we have prayed and cried and seen miracles and met amazing people who all have a common heart to see this land restored to her Destiny. JOIN US and become a part of this VAST ARMY that is rising up. Ezekiel 37

Choosing Life

People everywhere are saying the same thing. Actually they have been saying this for a couple of decades now, like they have no control over it. You ask, ‘How are you?’ But what they seem to hear is; ‘please whine about your lack of time?’ Busy, busy, busy, that is the mark of true success. Or is it? Of course it is not.

If you are busy then that is how you have chosen to live your life. It’s true. Who makes your decisions if it isn’t you? But I have to do this and do that, you say. Not true. You do have to eat, you must show kindness and love others, worship and pray without ceasing, rejoice always and tell others about Jesus, which are all liberating and life-giving things to do. Otherwise you are free. Absolutely free to discover and enjoy the abundant life that Jesus bought for us at His death. Sound too simplistic? Write it out, your priorities and your purpose. Do you need all the things that tie you down and use up your life. Do they add to you or take away. Nice things are only that, nice THINGS.

The Bible exhorts us to Choose Life. So that is our responsibility to choose those priorities that bring life and add to others lives. I find that people who are tired often decide to simplify so they start culling activities to try to get more time. More time to … ? People cut off the easiest things to see, often wrongly thinking it is these things that are consuming them. Then they live smaller lives with less contact with others but are surrounded by NICE THINGS. Maybe the answer to your ‘busy problem’ is not the night out you spend investing in the lives of others but it is the constant nagging feeling that you are overcommitted financially. Maybe it is the expectations of others to perform in having everything just ‘so’.

You know I have proved a couple of things that I want to share with you. Kids do not fade away if they do not have a cooked meal every night. Grown ups also survive fine with a weekly evening meal of ‘Toast’. Why do we give some things such a high priority and others like prayer and meditation none. We often hear people say, they struggle to have a devotional time with God, but no-one really struggles to have a nightly shower or to eat. It is normal to think that organizing your kids, lunches and homework and transport to school is of paramount importance but regularly neglect to teach them the scriptures or to nourish their souls with the concepts of God’s Love. Do we really need all those channels and all that stuff in the shed? Is it going to eternity with you in the end? Then it is negotiable. I didn’t say it is wrong, but it is optional, and it is your choice.

Determine what God requires of you; your calling, your loved ones and your gifts to the Body of Christ, and do that first. IF you have time and you want to, pick and choose what else you want to pick up. It is all negotiable. Fear God, love righteousness and justice. Love one another. Examine the life of Jesus. He gave every waking moment to His Father in Heaven and to the people around Him. No encumbrances, no debt, no need to impress. He is the way, the truth and the life. If that seems undoable to you, then ask yourself; who or what is influencing me? Don’t take your cues from your culture, take them from the Word and then you will be like a tree planted by the river of Water, bearing fruit in every season. Ask God, He will help you to know what to hold and what to let go, and do not be afraid, because He is with you, even to the end of the age.

Most recent letter sent

Last Saturday, JULY 10 – 10000 Warriors Walking for Peace.

This day was a wonderful success because people were praying and believing together for Peace and Prosperity for our cities. Together we asked for the Power of God to be poured out in our Land. I heard reports from around the country of people who gathered together in groups small and large to pray. Here in Logan, we gathered at the council for a Holy Ghost time of fervent prayer and some worship. God graciously gave me a sign that He was with us as we met.

NOW … let’s talk about our nation. Do not let your heart be troubled … believe in me. Jesus

There will always be a lot of noise generated by fear. Voices that give us reasons to be afraid must be filtered through the words of Jesus, who says; “Take Courage”

Almost every day I hear reports about how God is stirring people to pray, which is very good. This tells me that God is calling us to build a highway in the Spirit so that He can come. However, we must be diligent to discern the message in these voices and determine to hear only those that agree with Heaven. God is good, He knows the plans He has for His people, plans for good and not for evil, to give us a future and a HOPE.

When the prophet Ezekiel, was in the Lord’s presence one day, he was carried away, in the Spirit, to a valley. In the valley were bones. They were human bones, dry bones, useless, dead, and long time since they were alive, bones. These bones were good for nothing to the prophet. He wandered among them and confirmed that they were dead men’s bones, in answer to the angels questioning. (Ezekiel 37)

In verse 11, the interpretation begins. These bones are the whole house of Israel, (the people of God). They are saying, “We are doomed, all hope is gone”.

This is the underlying message in some of the voices you may hear. Voices that confirm our inadequacy, remind us of our deadness, our dryness and our history of being so for a long time. But this is stating the obvious and only half of the story and the solution is found in this same vision given to the prophet as a lesson to us today.

The prophetic voice, here from the Word is clear. No amount of talking about the bones will help. We can discern our deadness and diagnose the danger of lying for centuries in a valley, if we enjoy wasting time. We can stay up late worrying about how to dispose of all those bones. We can talk about the valley, the bones or even try to move some of them to make some space for some really ‘alive’ folk, BUT in verse 12 it gives us the solution, do you not perceive it?

… THEREFORE PROPHESY …

Whether the dry bones lie in the valley of your marriage or in the heartland on our nation the answer comes when we give voice to the declarations that come from His Presence. Here are some.

I will make breath enter you and you will come to life.

I will pour out my Spirit. Your sons and daughters will prophesy.

I will restore the years the locusts have eaten. I will multiply your seed. I will give you whatever you ask, in my name. I will be jealous for my land and take pity on my people. I will answer you when you call on me.

When we read in the Word;

If my people who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray, turn from their sin, and seek my face, then I will hear from Heaven, forgive their sin and heal their land.

2 Chron 7 v 14

The onus here, is on you and me. Not them, not their sin, their deadness, but mine. Come on people, practice humility, turn away from self righteousness and accept the righteousness of Jesus’ blood as the only antidote for death and prophesy like He taught us;

Your Kingdom Come, Your will be done, on earth, as it is in Heaven.

PLEASE GO TO 10000warriors.com and download the new 10 minute prayer, ‘Speaking to the Bones’ . And begin to announce change over your life and together over our nation.

Join with others and begin to prophesy. At 10W, we are worship warriors. This is how I do it. I put on some music that glorifies Him and ushers me into the secret place. I worship Him and empty myself of all anxiety by thanking Him . I bring my personal needs before Him and rest in His love. …THEN, I strap on my armour, Eph 6, and I take out my weapon, (all our 10 minute prayers are based solidly on the Word). Or I just go freestyle and begin to prophesy the intentions of God over my city, over His Bride and into the life of our nation.

Then I thank Him for allowing me to participate in His redemptive plan for the planet. I smile to myself at the wonder of His grace that allows me to co-work with the Holy Spirit, who makes all things new.

Rejoice in the Miracle. What we are now doing is the manifestation of a word that God gave me both privately and publicly. In April of 2009, I was at a conference. I had told no-one but Peter, about my personal encounter with His Spirit, 3 days prior. 3000 people were in the meeting and one of the preachers laid their hand on me and Peter and said, GATHER, GATHER, GATHER, GATHER, GATHER and went on to describe what we now see. This was a wonderful confirmation. First the spiritual, then the natural. Therefore Prophesy!

So, Warriors, well done. We are now heading toward the 10th of the 10th in 2010. Mark your calendar now and begin to inspire those around you, so that on the 10th day of October, all across this nation we will have the biggest prayer meeting ever, spread out like a Holy Spirit blanket over our nation.

Your sons and daughters

These are 'those' days where the ear-mark of the Church is the flow of the Spirit through our sons and daughters, men and women alike. They shall dream dreams, see visions and prophesy. In your praying, expect the God who speaks, to give you understanding through dreams and visions. Early this year I was taking a few days out to pray and fast. I had felt an inner urge to get away from my 'life' for the express purpose of spending time with my Heavenly Father. From the first moment I drove out my driveway till the last, I did not feel alone. The Holy Spirit was with me in the same way you would be with a longtime friend. No bored moments or awkwardness. Just a wonderful sense of peace in His presence. He shared many things with me over those few days and I felt nourished on every level of my life but I want to share with you, one specific picture that I saw vividly.

I was wide awake, in prayer, singing I think, and this moving picture began, its details unfolded as I merely watched it play out. I submit it to you.

I was in a large auditorium filled with hundreds of people, laughing, chatting and interacting. They were well dressed and all seemed to be in a good spirits. Conversations were flowing about kids and work and the stuff of life. I was a silent observer somewhat enjoying the vibe and the life that was being experienced. It appeared to be a well organized event where people were enjoying each other with a sense of comradship. No one was in a hurry to go anywhere but rather content to be in this atmosphere that was humming and full of energy.

After taking it all in, I became curious and began to look around. Something inside me begged me to cast my eyes over the scene as if I was being 'watched' from some vantage point. I then noticed that behind the stage there was a thick curtain, like you might find at a theatre to accommodate a backstage area. Seeing this intensified my curiosity and I felt like a secret agent as I looked around and began to make my way to the stage area. I walked to the back of the stage and glanced back across the room, noticing that my movement had not disturbed anyone, in fact no one even seemed to be aware of my presence.

I stepped through the curtain and was immediately in a completely different atmosphere. Firstly, I noticed it was bathed in a soft blue glowing, similar to being underwater in a crystal clear sea. The light danced slightly and the noise from the first room could no longer be heard. The room was an open space that was almost as big as the original room but much fewer people, maybe 20. It was calm yet brimming with a quite energy. People were getting dressed, in various spots and most people were being attended by another person. I looked and saw someone being prepared in a 'fantastic' type of battle attire, well fitted, aesthetically bold and yet inobstrusive. With one leg up on a chair a weapon was being strapped to their leg by the helper. All over the room, quiet conversations were taking place as people were being equipped and getting ready for their role. As my eyes moved around the room, these people noticed me, looked at me with smiling eyes but kept doing what they were doing with intention and focus. I instantly knew that the people in the first room were there because of what was going on in this room. I took it all in, this sparcely occupied room. These fierce people with a bigness of heart expressed on faces that emanated a rare confidence. They were being fully prepared, armoured, unstressed, almost serene and bathed in this glorious light. Each one clearly knew their task, including their attendants and was ready to perform it.

My understanding of the picture is this. The big populated room is the Church. Many people are blessed and function in the context of relationship as they come together to glean and participate in the Life that flows from the Grace of God to its members. It was filled with activity and talk and a certain momentum carried it along. The people were happy in this room but mostly oblivious of what was happening in a parallel room.

The second room was like the place of prayer. It had a whole lot less people but they understood their place and went about their 'work' in a way that needed no introduction, no fussing. The light was the presence of God and the Power that is found in Him. Both armour bearers and warriors were backstage and were not concerned so much with the 'stuff' of the other room, but had a keen sense of purpose for the sake of the greater good of the Church, which is Jesus' body. God is calling people to come and be equipped, get prepared and carry the work of the Kingdom forward in a parallel place. There, you will experience a peace and a purpose that will ripple into the realms of reality, moving us all toward victory and maturity in Jesus. Our precious Holy Spirit beckons us, "Come backstage, get in My presence, feel the anointing and empowerment that comes from being fully equipped and see His Kingdom Come!

July 10 - Dream with me!

Can you imagine the Church in the city having a public prayer meet. What if she stood up and took her place as the voice of God declaring His intentions over your region. David prophetically sings; "Ask of me and I will give you the nations..." So come on let's ask. And he who asks, receives! On July 10th, 10 thousand warriors will take to the street to arrive at their city's HQ, local council chambers to stand in the gap for its members. Gather your friends and family, your small group or your entire congregation for this cause and see what happens when the people of God pray.

I envisage that in many towns and cities of this nation there will be individuals and groups of various sizes, taking the initiative to go down town and PRAY. Try to arrive around 11, encourage each other and then, armed with your 10 minute 'Prayer for our Cities', 10000warriors.com , walk around the building and pray for 10 minutes at 11.30am, believing for change in the spiritual climate of your locale.

I have heard it said that the Church is the biggest people group in the world, and I believe if we can establish some solidarity of vision we can confidently pray, Your Kingdom Come ... This vision is an Australia who is a beacon of hope to the nations of the world. Think its far fetched? With man this is impossible, but with God, ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE! See ya there.

Come and See

Hello Church, I want to share a dream I recently had. I believe it is an exhortation to 'stir up the prophetic' and to honour the Voice of God and the insight by which He leads us. It is too easy to trivialize the things we hear, but remember the words of Jesus, "be careful how you hear, more will be given to the one who hears". Here is the dream.

I drove up to a mountain top lookout with some friends. On arrival I got out the car and immediately started to slide over the edge of the ridge. I fell only about a metre and landed on a ledge where a dog was chained. I climbed back up, dusted myself off and began to look around. As I did, I noticed a large bald eagle walking around, injured and unable to fly. No one seemed bothered by it so I said to the others, 'that eagle is battered, we should get help for it". They seemed disinterested and warned me that I would just get hurt if I tried to attend to it. I reluctantly agreed and reasoned that there was nothing I could do and turned my back to enjoy the view. As I did the eagle crashed into me as it tried to take off, grabbing on to me on its failed mission to fly. This stirred up my resolve to help it. I held it in my arms and went in search of help.

I entered a nearby shop and asked if they knew the phone number of somewhere I could get help for this large, majestic, rare, endangered, visionary eagle. The attendant woman showed me a number to call some people who were dedicatd to helping injured wildlife. The number to call was written on the wall but I just could not read it. It seems the area was too dark and the reflections all wrong and I just could not read it. I asked to woman to read it out to me and after getting help to dial the number, a man answered the phone and I told him about the bird and its plight. He was disinterested and said that such an animal was not worth his trip.

Eventually he agreed to come and pick up the eagle, which, all the while looked desperately in need of attention and beckoned with its eyes for help. I then left the bird with the woman but I noticed another dog, the same as the one on the edge of the lookout, in the room and asked if she would chain it up to keep the eagle safe till help arrived. I left the room and the dream ended.

I understand the eagle to represent the Vision and discernment that the prophetic gifts are to the Church. As I stood on the lookout, the place to see, as in Christendom, little or no attention is given to the fact that this aspect of our calling is not functioning but rather wounded and ineffective. While there are dangers (the dog on the ledge and the possibility of slipping of such a ridge), it is our responsibility to take care of each other, function as a Body and nurture the prophet's calling and the prophetic gifts, which have become endangered. The power of the eagle is to 'see' to evaluate from a higher perspective. Our job as the Body is to protect this gifting from the inherant dangers that comes with the calling and to disciple the dedication required for the prophetic to function. Our churches have been 'led' by great principles and great leadership qualities sometimes to the detriment of the Supernatural ability to 'see' and 'go'.

Two last points, when trying to find help for the eagle, support for this necessary gift, I struggled to find anybody who was concerned and then when I found the number to call the one who was meant to be a source of healing and restoration was nonchalant at best. This is a cry from the Father's heart that we who are mature must nurture the prophetic in those around us, looking for leadership and wholeness in this prophetic generation that God is raising up. We must prepare the way of the Lord and restoration of the prophetic in our families and churches, nurturing it and bringing it to full health in the context of the Body is essential if we will be the Body of Christ in all her beautry and authority. Thank you Father for leading us, help us to hear and follow.

Passover Me!

My mind cannot contain the immensity of the ideas that Jesus delivered to us in His death and resurrection. It rolls off the tongue with so much ease that, at times, the magnitude and its implications are obviously outside the realm of our understanding. I do not mean to sound pedantic, but I just cannot seem to be able to express how totally different the world is and my experience as a child of God is, in the light of the cross. Every verse in the Bible is loaded with the message of this Amazing Grace and I pray, like the great apostle, that our hearts will be flooded with light, and that light is Jesus and the BRILLIANCE of His life. This is the LIFE that He delivered to us via His sacrifice, once and for all for our sin. Thank you Lord that death now Passes Over Me, and instead the life that I now live I live in the Son of God. Yes and Amen, Happy Easter!

'time - irreplaceable

Hello people, today is the day that God our Father ordained. Since the beginning of Time, this day was on His agenda. People will be born today and who knows who they may become. Be nice to children, you know not to whom you talk. People will die today and others will mourn their loss. The truth is you, reading this, may not be alive this Time next week, where then will you be. HOWEVER, this is the day that our gracious Lord has given to us, 24 hours of Life, a gift to each of us. What will you do with it. If you were a visitor to this planet for just 24 hours what would you do. Run, laugh, enjoy, meet people, breathe deeply of the love from those around you. Oh how God must be so patient with us when we don't realize what a Gift each day is.

Today I am at a very close friends home. I come here every week, just to be with her. She is young and beautiful. She has 2 beautiful daughters and Cancer. Her body carries multiple tumours, all inoperable. Hopeless in physical terms. Each day a gift. Cherishing conversations, remembering beauty, relishing laughter and love. This is the Day that the Lord has made let us REJOICE AND BE GLAD IN IT! We use up our lives in 'day sized compartments' or we live each one fully for others and for His pleasure. Teach me Lord to number and name my days, to choose to fully live in each one, letting go of stuff that binds me to yesterday and blurs my vision of the spectacular beauty of TODAY! If I have questions Lord let them first be filtered through this knowledge that sufficient for the day is the trouble therein.

Thank you for leading me into all Truth, by Your Holy Spirit, Your daughter, Julie

Love, Power and What!

Talk, talk, talk, that’s what we do. We are good at it, especially if we are preachers by calling. But if we ever shut up, we hear a sound. Be still for long enough and it is undeniable. The voice of the Holy Spirit. Ever ready and graciously persistent, reminding us of God’s love and of the grand purpose of our lives, which is to know Him and release the power of His resurrection into our world manifesting our ‘sonship’ and demonstrating His love.

On a recent reading of Paul’s admonition to Timothy to stir up the gift of God in him, he reminds this spiritual son of his; “For God has not given you a spirit of fear, but of love, power and a sound mind” (one translation renders sound mind as self discipline). As I meditated on this idea I thought about you and me. We all have plans and goals and dreams. We want to do more for the Kingdom and lose weight and be a better spouse and read more or less or whatever, right. The great obstacle to the manifestation of these desired realities is ... lazy! We sometimes call it ‘self’ or ‘the flesh’. But call it what you will, basically we are lazy.

See I like to be fit, but Christmas has me not exactly in my prime. I went and bought a German Shepherd dog to be my running partner. I am equipped. I like running so I have desire. I definitely value my health, so I have motivation ... do I run? No. The dog is now 2 years old and has never run with me. This same attitude can leak into our good intentions and our God dreams.

You see, Love and Power as spectacular as they sound, are absolutely worthless with out self discipline. Do not spiritualize these and think that your faith won’t need some serious work to accomplish what God intends. The Church must find her will to be and do all that God has hardwired her to be. We must gather up our cloak like Elijah and run. The prophet Isaiah wrote it like this, “Arise, shine, your light has come ... the glory of the Lord is risen”.

God is not reluctant to release His promises. His power and His love reside in us, so overcoming first the fear and then the overwhelming inclination to remain comfortable, daily.

We have the ball, so some offensive moves are necessary to extend His rule. The gates of hell are buckling, and I am going for a run.

Your Kingdom come and Your will be done, on earth as it its in heaven,

Yours for Revival,

Julie Blase

From Covenant to Kingdom

God of creation approached a man whom He had made and initiated a Covenant with Him. Offered life and blessing, protection, inheritance, sons and honour IF he would participate in the Covenant. This is an image of what Jesus reclaimed for humanity through the work he did on the cross. Yes that was His work, to obey His Father, He went to the cross. No one forced Him, He gave up His life that we might have life and experience it to the full.

In the same way that Abraham entered into Covenant with God through blood sacrifice, we enter the Kingdom through Jesus' blood, through his love demonstrated at the cross.

In the Kingdom of which Jesus spoke, there is a people rising up, reclaiming the covenant relationship we have with The Father. There is life and power and freedom in the Kingdom IF we will participate through surrender. Paul wrote, I want to know Him and the Power of the resurrection... My only goal this year, this ONE THING I do, forgetting what is behind I press on ... to become one with Him so that I can experience the power of the Kingdom in me.

The Barbarian Way E. R. McManus

Because Jesus did not suffer and die so that we could build for ourselves havens but so that we might expand the Kingdom of His love. Because invisible kingdoms are at war for the hearts and lives of every human being that walks on the face of the earth. And times of war require barbarians who are willing to risk life itself for the freedom of others. The irony of course is that barbarians are driven away in times of peace. They only disrupt our communities, traditions and sensibilities. It is only in the most desperate of times - times of war and conflict that these outcasts are welcome or even invited to return.

Jephthah, the son of a harlot was despised by his people and dispelled from his tribe. Those who chose to join him were considered a band of worthless men, yet his story reminds us that the very ones who are unwanted and driven from among us are the ones we most need to lead in times of war. Barbarians can be counted as worthless when all is safe and secure but dangerous times suddenly make them invaluable. We live in such times and we are not ready for the great challenges that are set before us. We have not been prepared to take on any great quest, to battle any great enemy or even to pursue the great dream for which we have been born.

Instead, Christianity has become our Shawshank and our redemption will only come if we find the courage to escape the prison we have created for ourselves. Risking everything to live free is our only hope - humanities only hope. Jesus has been lost in a religion bearing His name. People are being lost because they cannot reconcile Jesus' association with Christianity. Christianity has become docile, domesticated, civilized. We have forgotten that there is a kingdom of darkness stealing the hopes, dreams and souls of a humanity without God. It is time to hear the barbarian call, to form a barbarian tribe, and to unleash the barbarian revolt. Let the invasion begin.
