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
