In My Love…

by Ruth Paddon

My child,

Why are you dismayed and fearful when trouble comes into your life? Death is all around you but you carry life. I have overcome the world! Therefore you will overcome also if I am your Lord.

When you fear you go into a state of anxiety, disease, and confusion. The side effects of fear being death. Death to your dreams, health, your call, and life itself.

Only those who know my perfect love will overcome fear. When you start fearing it’s because you are not sure that I will still love you and am there for you. I am not like your earthly parents who are human and let you down. I am your heavenly Father who remains constant and never stops loving you and will never withdraw my love from you. No matter what mistake and sin you make I will never take my perfect love away from you.

When you get a revelation of my love as you wait in my presence, you will get your peace back. All fear will have to go! Fear cannot remain when you know and feel my love. It is warm, constant, and nurturing. Wrap yourself in it in these perilous times, and when an evil report comes to you you will be hidden, wrapped in my arms of love. Fear will not be able to penetrate the love and peace in your heart. Meditate on Psalm 91 and know it in your heart. The secret place of protection is in my love and knowing your position in me. You are seated in heavenly places with me on a throne of love. You will overcome fear and unbelief as you change your focus. I am your source of love, life, and freedom from fear.

I AM LOVE!

This love creates a security in you heart and your FAITH can rise up and you will overcome the enemy and his plans for you. As you meditate on my love, your faith will grow and you will be able to move mountains in prayer. Faith is the right expectation of my love for you. Fear is a negative expectation of my love. You can choose life or death.

I love you,

Jesus Christ

Stay Vigilant, Aware and Diligent

by Patsy Grubb

I walked the beach this morning for the first time in several weeks, and as I did the changes that I noticed really blew me away.

Due to the weather which has been extreme this winter, there was an incredible amount of erosion. Whole banks of vegetation had collapsed and the sand had been blown and swept away to reveal foundations of steps and pathways which have not been evident for years.

I felt the Holy Spirit begin to convict me that this is indeed an illustration of what has happened to some degree in my life, and is at risk of happening to individual lives within the body of Christ.

I sense that the next wave of God to hit the church will expose everything both good and ungodly. It is not this exposure though that I find unnerving. The exposure is necessary and is the grace of God to us because we have an opportunity to set our lives in order before we are exposed, and even afterwards, if we do not let our pride, shame, etc overcome us but rather humble ourselves and submit to the dealings of God, we shall survive and be made to be further along in the process of being conformed to His image.

This same wave will breakdown and wash away any foundations that are not of God, therefore as people of God we need to be 100% sure that, that which we build our beliefs on (the foundations on which we have built our faith, etc), that which grounds us is rock solid and cannot be shaken. Because if our footing is not secure we will be swept away and we will not survive this wave. It is imperative that you have your own personal faith, your own personal foundation, you cannot ride this wave on the back of others. Your leader’s faith will not get you through…. your leaders relationship with God will not be enough to get you over the line!!!!

What do you personally believe? Why do you believe? What do you found those beliefs on? Why is God showing me this now? I believe that God is showing us this in His kindness and His mercy because the things that come to break down our faith and to wash away the foundations and our beliefs and practices are so very subtle. With the beach it is the winds and the tides that come in and out daily, it’s a definite… it will come and it will go and things will be shifted with it. In our lives the things that shift our focus and shift our faith and wear down our beliefs are those things that go unnoticed, and yet on a daily basis slowly erode our relationship with God. Whether it is T.V, internet, family, or work is not important. What is important is that we remain aware and vigilant. These shifts are subtle and may not be noticed by us day by day, but over time will result in a huge erosion of our spiritual lives. As I said, it is some time since I have been to the beach and the sand which has been swept away here will realistically not be dumped back here for probably two years or more, which is a natural phenomenon….. in our lives we don’t have that luxury. Complacency, tiredness, jobs, relationships, and just life in general are the things that will wear down what we think we have stored up in God, and while much of what we do daily is necessary, it is not always of benefit to us.

We need deposits from God daily to ensure that things are not stolen away, the only way we can be built up in God is to pursue His presence, to actively lay hold of God, to spend time in His presence daily, in His Word, in prayer and fasting. We need to be active and diligent in building up those things that have eternal value in His kingdom. Ensure that daily we gird ourselves, we prepare ourselves for battle, we assume the position in order to receive, we give God every opportunity to have access to us to build those things into our lives that He wants to build into us. We need to to take responsibility for ensuring that we spend time in prayer, worship, the Word, and that we actively spend time with the Holy Spirit. We have to actively seek the habitation of God for ourselves as a body as well as individuals because when it comes down to it, in times to come, His presence is the only thing that will hold back the onslaught of the enemy, that will hold back the natural erosion of time.

I used to hear people from the persecuted church say that they felt so sorry for those of us in the western churches, that they pray for us diligently and earnestly because our walk is so difficult and I never really understood that until now. God has shown me that it is often because of a lack of persecution that we get lost in the subtle deceptions that we face. We allow the enemy to steal our time by engaging in time wasting pursuits that are presented to us as good harmless fun. Many traps of the enemy are not blatant, they are very very subtle and it is the subtlety that makes it so very dangerous.

We have been given a window of time and opportunity to partner with God, to repair the breaches in the walls of our lives. We need to do this while we still have God’s grace and mercy upon us to do so. At the moment we have His anointing and enabling and blessing, and we need to use that very wisely. We need to position ourselves, to assume the position to receive, however that looks for us individually…. we need to ensure that we are really plugged into God and that we are in His presence more often than not!!! How else are we going to hear the heartbeat of God and know His will, to hear His warnings if we are not close to Him????? Don’t let your daily life be your undoing, make it work for you. It’s like a diet…. you are what you eat. Well spiritually you are what you ingest as well. What you behold you become. You cannot give out of what you do not have and you can’t live, you cannot be sustained, on anything that is not God given. Only that which is God given has eternal value. It is time for us to repair those breaches in the walls of our lives, and to do this effectively and safely we need to have trusted peers along side us in this process. Just as Nehemiah had those who stood with him as he rebuilt the wall, we also need those who will keep watch as we work. Those who will warn us of the plans of the enemy, those who will watch our backs, those who will bear arms with us.

Place yourself alongside trusted peers who have your best at heart, who will speak the truth to you in love, those who won’t tell you what you want to hear or give you false reports on your progress out of fear of rejection, etc, but will acknowledge our blind spots and lovingly correct us. Ensure you have trusted mature people who you remain accountable to in a very serious manner throughout this process. Remain in right relationship and remain vigilant.

Bless you…

A Thought from God…

by Belinda Jabore

The analogy the Lord brought to mind was that of my dog “Jasper”, a rather large English Springer Spaniel.

He waits expectantly and patiently all day long, that I or my husband would spend time with him or take him for a walk, or just sit and pat him, talk to him and love on him. We go past the front door where his bed is many times throughout the day and he is always looking for us. When we stop to say hello he gets so excited by our presence, his tail nearly wagging off, but unfortunately we continually just have a few words to him on our way to work and the busyness of the day. As we pass him he becomes very sad, his face long and eyes droopy with a look on his face that I believe says, “Please would you talk to me some more, LOVE on me and take me for a walk PLEEASSSSEE..?”, then he realises that we are not going to. He then lies down on his bed with a very sad droopy face. He knows deep down that we do not have the time for him. We are either too busy with other things, or maybe we just can’t be bothered and are too lazy. All he wants is for us to sit down with him, talk with him, and tell him how much we LOVE him and just hang with him.

So in the end he gets fed up with waiting for us and decides to go around the back of the house and jump this really high fence to get across the road to get some love and affection.

It takes TIME to LOVE someone: We have to sacrifice things and time.

I believe the Holy Spirit of God is so desperate for us!! For our time, our love, our intimacy, and our affection from/for us. But if we do not take or MAKE time for Him we will lose Him. He will jump the back fence to go and spend time with someone WHO WILL LOVE and SPEND TIME WITH HIM.

He is waiting for you every second, every minute, every hour of the day and night.

Which one will you choose?

1) Your computer, your phones, your TV, your time, or just working so hard you just haven’t the time and are too tired?

or

2) Spending loving quality intimate time with the LOVER of your soul. Loving on Him, talking with Him, and just hanging with Him?

“HE WILL BE SO EXCITED WHEN YOU CHOOSE HIM’

Guard your time with Him.

To Australia…

by Helen Warburton

To Australia…

I am raising up a company of ‘Deborahs’ in the earth and in this nation. Women who are not only prophets but are also called to governance and apostleship.

Older Deborahs will disciple, mentor, admonish and train the younger women who are called to this place in His body. God will give strategies on how to win the battles that they are called to fight. The Lord will give Captains of the enemy’s army into the hands of these women. It is My time to release and commission My women.

For this is the season for My end time army to be raised up with men, women, and children standing together in unity - the army of the obedient ones. Women will be unveiled in a way that My body has never seen, as the true warriors and leaders that I have made them. Their words will hit the mark and the enemy’s works will be destroyed. Where women have walked in the shadow of their mates, I have called them forward to stand shoulder to shoulder with them, to march in their rank. These must be places in their true position for this is critical to this hour in history.

These ‘Deborahs’ are part of My army that will overcome the darkest hour in history by the blood of the Lamb and the word of their testimony.

Poem - Syrup of Figs

by David Robinson
(February 2001)

’Hair-Piece be with you.’
‘And also with you.’

Note: See Genesis 3:7
"Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they realised they were naked; so they sewed fig leaves together and made coverings for themselves."

Poem - Touch the Stars

by Moya Boardman
(April 2006)

If I could touch the stars
But not touch your heart
How empty that would be

If I could reach the sky
But never reach your love
How pointless life would be

What a surprise - you live in me
The sky and stars have come down

You live on high
You’re in my heart
Heaven invades
Every part

I’ve touched heaven
& heaven’s touched me
I’ve reached your heart
’cause you live in me

I have reached the stars
And I have reached your love
Because you reached out first
And you touched me

Poem - Horror Scope

David Robinson
(October 2001)

Twelve liars overlay the night sky
Not really existing
Put there by wreckers - native of a dark shore
Beckoning, with many lanterns, trusting and well meaning vessels
Onto coastal teeth

Mascots of the demons, to make lives cold
A house of cards, all fold, all grow old
No such thing as luck, but deception takes hold
Zeroing the naive, life becomes mould
Scam of a ’secret knowledge’, sold
A chart - mapping death, for a soul untold

The Greek tragedy
The Roman ruin

To perpetuate the lost by diversions
Create a satanic caste-system by subversions

The true stars of Heaven, prophecy of their King
The true bodies of Heaven, for the Lord, they spin
The true lighthouse gives a warning of ripping rock
The true lifeboat rescues those whom regret not taking stock

Note: See Acts 19:18-20
"Many of those who believed now came and openly confessed their evil deeds. A number who had practised sorcery brought their scrolls together and burned them publicly. When they calculated the value of the scrolls, the total came to fifty thousand drachmas. In this way the word of the Lord spread widely and grew in power."

Poem - Skinny Dipping

by Moya Boardman
(August 2008)

I think we should all go naked
And let it all hang out
That which doesn’t see the sun
Never gets a tan

I’m not saying we should strip off all our clothes
We should be kinder to each other than that
But we should expose the stuff within
If we want to clean out all the crap

Poem - No Worries Mate

by David Robinson
(September 2001)

High on the trapeze wire
You will catch me
For you are sure;

And if I should fall
You’re the net that stops me
Hitting the floor.


Note: See Philippians 1:20-21 -
"I eagerly expect and hope that I will in no way be ashamed, but will have sufficient courage so that now as always Christ will be exalted in my body, whether by life or by death. For me, to live is Christ and to die is gain."

Changing of the Guard…

by Toni Gordon

I see a changing of the guard. A deeper, mature group stepping up to the plate (like in basball to bat) and they are ready equipped and fully dressed in every spiritual weapon that is needed. They are not afraid. There is no fear in them. Their faces are set looking straight ahead - they have determination written all over their faces. They are young, some very young, but powerful with a gentleness and humility about them that the world does not expect who they are. They look like pussy cats (gentle, kind, non-threatening) on the outside but are roaring devouring lions on the inside.

They are a secret weapon of God. These will go into places that would never suspect them and there they do damage to, and defeat the spiritual realm. They will go into regions and not be suspected. They are hidden guerillas (like Superman - mild mannered Clark Kent and then Superman when the situation needs it). These are like this (Superman), always on the alert with their ears finely tuned to the Holy Spirit and what their next “mission” is to be.

They are ready ALWAYS in season and out. A powerful army God is building. It will start small (in fact it has started already) and grow to a gigantic moving mass of people spreading and devouring demonic regions all over the earth.

I see them standing around government officials, politicians, money deciders, and many others - some in protection mode to protect and save this person (like the blood on the doorposts Hebrews put there for God’s protection against the angel of death), while others go through and “remove” the ones that should not be there. We will hear of many “suddenly” becoming ill or dying. For these this is their last chance for salvation - they will have a choice - believe their encounter with Jesus and be saved or literally die.

The underbelly of Australia’s systems will be exposed and the sores and cancers that are there will literally be healed or removed depending on the decisions these men and women make.

Australia will stand up and lead the world in areas never suspected before.

Poem - This Is Your Time

By Moya Boardman
(5th June 2007)

In Your presence I am changed
As I sit at Your feet
Resting my head upon Your knee Lord
All comes into line.

This is Your time, Lord - This is Your place
Holy is this moment - Beautiful Your face
So precious this hour - So special here
Beyond all words You reach me - Silence speaking loud

My heart is refreshed
As I sit and gaze at You
There is healing for the deepest fear
As You reveal that You are true

Sitting at Your feet I rest
Letting go of striving
Like perfume Your love surrounds me
Soaking every part
