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.

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

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.
