I see Melbourne coming into a Breakthrough Year. This will be marked with heavy rainfall. I see the River of God rising in and around the city of Melbourne, breaking down the walls and the barriers that have restricted any move of the Holy Spirit.
The time is NOW to jump into the river of what God is doing and about to do; the wind of God’s Spirit will be so powerful it will be hard not to notice the effects of this wind.
“And suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as a mighty rushing wind and it filled the whole house where they were all sitting.” Acts 2:2
I also see this will be marked by powerful winds in and around the Melbourne area. I see tradition as a stronghold over Melbourne bowing to the Lordship of Jesus Christ and with tradition also false religions will bow and begin to be exposed for what they truly are.
I see a strong unity forming in the Body of Christ for the future of Melbourne. The leaders of the Body of Christ will begin to have the same vision for this great city, leaders from all denominations and non-denominations. This is where the Lord will command his blessing. Psalm 133: 1-3
I see Melbourne will draw attention from other states and from around the world for what God is about to do. I see many being healed and delivered and coming to the Knowledge of Jesus as Lord.
This is an exciting year for Melbourne, however there will be those who oppose what God is doing and call it a false move of God, but the fruit will speak for itself. Jesus said signs and wonders will follow wherever the Gospel is being preached. I believe this will be a sign of the breakthrough coming to Melbourne, because the people will not follow the signs and wonders but the signs and wonders will follow them.
It is time for the Body of Christ to rise and move in their calling and start walking and acting as true sons and daughters of God, walking in the authority given to us at the great commission.
The enemy will attempt to counteract any breakout of God’s Spirit in Melbourne with increased crime, even causing fear to some of the people of Melbourne through various methods. Please pray for the protection of Melbourne and its city leaders for wisdom as to how to deal with any threats from extremists.
Melbourne is a city which can have four seasons in one day. I see many quick seasons of breakthrough coming to Melbourne.

A Word for Australia (Part One): “God’s Sign To Australia”
by Glenice Mills
I started to write this word a week ago and how things have changed in this very short time! When I began writing this word there were storms and flooding in Central Queensland, and I was particularly addressing the damage done there and then. However we are now witnessing terrible destruction and havoc being wreaked on Brisbane, the capital city of Queensland. I am so mindful even as I write this that there has been loss of life with the toll growing daily. This is a time when we must be sensitive to people and the grief and despair many are feeling. Many have lost everything and it is easy for us as sideline spectators to speak out. However, we need to be seriously asking the Lord why is this happening here and now at this time?
I am concerned that many are saying this is the judgment of God. Immaturity says this, however if we are growing into Him we would be seriously seeking the Lord as to what He is saying and what is His heart toward what is happening. It is easy to pass judgment and speak opinion, however the danger is: we cross a fine line becoming judgmental rather than seeking the Lord as to His heart toward us at this time.
Circumstances can have us quickly jump to conclusions as to what we think the Lord is saying, and this has done and is doing damage to the Lord and His name. Yes He is a God who judges, however, He doesn’t judge to condemn but rather to bring us back to Him and His ways. There is a big difference. One motivation is the perception that God is a harsh punishing God, the other is the understanding that He is a God of mercy and grace. It is actually knowing His character and ways. It is about balance.
God sends the rain and we associate floods with judgment, however it is a lot more profound than that.
We are in fact seeing a sign by the hand of God right now and those with eyes to see will know the Lord is speaking to us. Right at this moment we are seeing the destruction and devastation of a capital city, prime farming land and mining areas, in the heart of the state of Queensland as flooding destroys these vital infrastructures. Queensland is being KING HIT by the hand of God and we need to ask why? It is actually about ‘hitting at the heart of Australia.’ It is about Australia, though the impact at this time is occurring in Queensland. So what is the Lord saying to us? Why is He doing it now? Andrew Fraser, the Treasurer for the state of Queensland described the flood as being ‘of Biblical proportions.’
(It is interesting to note later in the day he changed his wording to the floods being of epic proportions). These floods are beyond what has ever taken place before. Seventy five percent of Queensland has sustained severe flooding and this is now on flowing to other states of Australia. The volume of water is so great it is beyond our understanding. Heavy rainfall and the soil unable to absorb the water therefore it is flowing at extremely fast rates causing overflowing of all the river and creek systems in the west of Queensland. The volume is so great it is wreaking havoc in every town and city where the river systems have broken their banks and flowed over and into areas that have never encountered flooding before. Queensland has been in drought for many years, and now we are subject to the worst flooding in recent history. Prime farming land has been ruined, right when fruit and vegetables were ripe ready for picking. The other problem is some fruit that has been picked cannot be transported to markets as towns are isolated by the flooding. The fruit is rotting. This is causing a financial on flow as fruit and vegetables are in shorter supply and therefore the cost of purchasing them is higher.
Everyday the mines are not operating it is costing millions of dollars. Again the coal cannot get to the wharves as the train lines have been wrecked. Ships are waiting in the harbours unable to transport the vital coal being sent to other countries for manufacturing of many products. This flooding has devastated the land but more seriously it has king hit the economy of Queensland. In the bigger picture will be its impact on Australia as a nation as it hits the economy because of the fall out of the damage done in Queensland. So what is the Lord saying and why is this happening? Firstly I sense the Lord’s grief and heart ache as He sees ones hurting as they deal with their losses. However, as I have been seeking the Lord on this He reminded me of something I have been sharing over recent times that has been causing me much concern.
Since the global financial crisis Australia has withstood the fall out from it well. In fact we have often boasted how our economy is strong and nothing will cause it to fail. I have spoken and written my concern at the pride expressed, and the complete disregard of the Lord and His grace and mercy upon us. It is because of favour upon Australia that we have not succumbed to the problems America and other nations have because of this crisis. Sadly there has never been any acknowledgment of God, of His blessings upon this nation that have kept us protected until now. In our pride we have gone along in our comfort and selfishness, thinking we are above and better than others.
We are now seeing the cost of this pride as God sovereignly moves bringing the rain and resulting floods. How quickly things change!!! It shows how vulnerable we truly are, that we are nothing and have nothing but by the hand of God. In a short time and with a change of circumstances we now find ourselves in a precarious position. We are in fact completely reliant on the Lord as to how much more rain will fall, and how much more damage will result. We are completely in the hands of God as to the economic fall out of this flooding. He can restore and redeem what has happened, but only if we return to Him in prayer, repentance and intercession. That is the opportunity now available to us: if God will restrain His hand and bring restoration to Australia. There is much more the Lord is saying about what is happening in Queensland and in the bigger picture of Australia.
This morning He showed me that He has a lot He wants to share about His heart toward Australia. We as a nation are on His heart!!! We always have been, however what He is saying at this time warrants more detail. As a prophet called to this nation I know the Lord has much to say. He is ‘downloading’ some clear insight as to what He is doing and what is ahead for us as a nation. The depth of what He is showing requires a series over the next few weeks. The Lord has given me an outline of what He is saying and doing however He has made it clear to me that it must unfold over a period of time and I must be obedient to this.
This is also about the body of Christ and this is an opportunity for it to be a true expression of the Lord Jesus Christ as His children bring love, care, compassion, comfort and practical help to ones in need over coming days, weeks, months and years. It is opportunity for the church’s finest hour.
Our prayers are critical at this time, and for those of us not impacted by the floods it is vital we give thanks that we have not been touched by these floods.
I want to finish this first part with a Scripture that is for such a time as this.
1 Corinthians 1:3-7
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any trouble, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.
For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also abounds through Christ.
Now if we are afflicted, it is for your consolation and salvation, which is effective for enduring the same suffering which we also suffer. Or if we are comforted, it is for your consolation and salvation.
And our hope for you is steadfast, because we know that as you are partakers of the sufferings, so also you will partake of the consolation.
To all who are reading this and have been impacted by the flooding may you truly know the comfort of the Lord and His strength as you endure the hardships and trials during this time. May you know the power of the prayers being offered up and a true knowledge that the Lord is your ever present help in times of trouble.
Bless you.

The Passion of the Christ
by Tony Clark
The Passion of the Christ
Blood was spilt
Flesh was torn
Death clung to His sullen form
Waiting to claim it’s prey
Cries came from the watching crowd
Wails from the hearts of those He loved
He was born to pay this price
Here was shown the passion of the Christ
Savage blows, tore skin from His face
Poured on Him the world’s disgrace
Fallen humanity together scorned
The day this saint was ever born
With one last breath, the breath of Life
His face turned faithfully to His Father’s grace
He cried the life from out of His bones
IT IS FINISHED, he cried, and made for us a home
Why would one so pure choose to die
For that which I had done in life?
For my iniquities, my disgrace, my shame
These lies I always used to blame
And why would He forsake Himself
For those who hate and abuse?
For me it’s summed up in a word
LOVE, for me, for you.
So now it’s your turn - to choose.
Amen

Fear
by Patricia Bellchambers
There is an old African proverb that states….. "Do not flee from a roaring lion towards a crouching lion. ”
It is a natural reaction to run from the things we fear, however, when we give into this desire to run it is almost always that we are running into a greater danger than the one we are running from. Fear tends to blind us and so we run the very real risk of falling and becoming entangled in all sorts of things which can then bind us and/or cause us to be lost. We then often begin to self protect, become independent , often we also take on personas and engage other coping mechanisms such as rituals. We can often become distrustful, suspicious and paranoid.
Fear, once described as False Evidence Appearing Real, is most often based in deception and imaginations. Yes we can of course face real threats which can impute fear but most of the time our fear begins with a thought or a perception that is false and yet grows continually as we focus on it.
Courage is not the absence of fear but rather holding your ground or moving forward in the face of fear.
In a battle situation when the warriors have their shields locked together and the enemy is advancing, it is imperative that everyone holds their position until the orders are given. If one soldier moves out of place then the enemy has an access point. There is ground given.
We have all heard many times the saying that “a chain is only as strong as its weakest link.” This is true of any chain including human chains.
The truth is as a church we are all connected, we impact in some way (negatively or positively) on everyone in our church family whether we try or want to or not.
We are in a season in which it is imperative that we hold our positions, that we hold our ground until given the next command.
We must not let fear dictate our next move. We must not run blindly from the unknown back to the familiar or into the enemy’s camp.
We must lock shields, determine in our hearts to advance the kingdom in God’s strength and resolve to move forward together as one.
Fear will bring confusion but faith will bring clarity.
Let’s enter into the year ahead with clarity and focus and a single-minded determination to be willing and obedient to those things God requires of us .
Don’t be fooled by fear into leaving your post ………you may not find your way back.

A Devine Weighing
by Glenice Mills
We are in serious times in God. There is a weight being placed upon God’s prophets at this time as many things are being held in balance. I see a set of scales, like the scales seen in courts. The scales are balanced: one side holds God’s judgement, the other side holds God’s mercy. However the scales are finely balanced but slightly tipping toward judgement. The church must be concerned, for this is a sign of what is to come if we do not repent and put some things right in the body of Christ.
‘As is the church, so is the government’ is something we should be considering very seriously. This is about governments worldwide, not only in Australia. Again like the balanced scales, there is a move trying to bring unbalance and unrest. Unrest is going to increase in many nations, particularly wealthy nations such as Australia and America. There is a contending for position in governance in many nations right now.
In Australia, we are at a very defining pivotal point. Our government has a very fragile balance of power. It only takes one slight movement and the scale will tip. There is an interesting dynamic occurring right now that is the most concerning thing I have seen thus far. It is a sign, and we the church must be watchful as to what is happening and what this sign is saying, for it is about the church too.
We have a labour government in an alliance with the greens. It is being said by many: ‘labour is the government, but the greens have the power.’ The power is in the hands of a few extremists pushing for many unrighteous laws to be actioned. Suddenly a small group, in a position of power, is pushing for euthanasia, and same sex marriage to be accepted and passed into law. It is happening subtly on the sidelines. The greens are often spoken as green on the outside and red on the inside. The greens do have a socialist agenda that stops business growth, that kills any development plans in the name of conservation. It wants everyone to be equal, killing all entrepreneurial skills and creative ideas. This is happening on our watch and the church must be the voice it was always meant to be to speak out against these unrighteous laws. It is concerning that many small groups are increasing in power and influence and being a voice that does not truly reflect the numbers of people supporting it. It is power in the hands of a very small minority, very concerning!! This corrupt power will be exposed. Corruption in high place of government will be confronted as the church prays, and as this agenda of man becomes known. We have seen it in local and state government, but not so much at a federal level of government.
The corrupt practices by unrighteous men and women will be confronted and the voices of many will rise up and say ‘enough’. People will no longer sit quietly and see unjust practices continue, that erode the peace, free will and the right to speak out being ripped out from under them. Truth must prevail even in our government. They are not above the law and this false authority and all it stands for, will be exposed.
There is a false rulership over this nation!!! There is a contending for power that is vicious and it will do anything to gain its authority and position at whatever cost to the people of this nation. It is self serving, pushing a selfish agenda, that has no consideration for the effects of its policies on the whole nation. God places those in authority and it is by His hand that we have the government we have. It is an unstable government and we should not be naïve in thinking it is God’s divine will for us. It is in fact a sign of judgment being released upon us and we need God’s mercy like never before. This is a sign of the balance of the scale tilting toward judgment and away from mercy. We see an example in Daniel where God confronted the ungodly leadership of King Balshezzar where in his pride he rose up against the Lord of Heaven.
Daniel 5:24 - 27
Then the fingers of the hand were sent from Him, and this writing was written.
And this is the inscription that was written:
MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN.
This is the interpretation of each word. MENE: God has numbered your kingdom, and finished it, TEKEL: You have been weighed in the balances, and found wanting.
Have we by our ungodliness both as a nation and the church been weighed in the balances and found wanting? That is the question we must ask ourselves as we see unrighteousness and idolatry increasing.
God will not strive with man and his ways, particularly in the church, any longer. He will not stand for compromise, for unrighteousness and any unholy alliances among and between His people. So why is this happening at this time now? What is this saying about what is happening in the body of Christ? What can we do about it? Can the wrongs be made right?
Apostolic leadership is about rulership. It is about a divine positioning of ones called to influence and bring change not only in the church but in society. The true apostle has paid a personal cost. They, like Apostle Paul, had a divine, life changing encounter with the Lord, that has defined them in such a powerful way, they will never knowingly do or say anything that would bring down or compromise the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ in any way shape or form. They have been placed in a divine rulership position because they are ones the Lord can trust. They have passed many tests in God and He has put His seal of approval upon them. There is however a contending by ones who are self appointed, with an unholy agenda contending for position as one of God’s apostles. They are false, and they are arising at this time. The church needs the gift of discernment like never before. We must be awake and alert to the devices of the enemy, for satan appears as an angel of light and will manifest in ways very close to the Spirit of God. It is not by the Spirit of God, but by man’s hand and there will be no fruit, only destruction and devastation to God’s people. We must be on guard for the false. The tragedy is many cults are arising that appear to have a godly message but Scripture is taken out of context and distorted to fit in with man’s agenda. It is not by the Spirit of God for if it were, there would be freedom to God’s people. In these unsettling times fear is arising both in the church and to those who don’t know the Lord. This is opportunity for unrighteous, ungodly men/woman to take vulnerable, desperate people and use them for their own ends. The greatest blasphemy is when they attach the Lord’s name to the works they are doing. That is the false that is arising and we all need to be on guard. It is taking an authority position they are never meant to have. It is a wrong authority position because it is rooted in power. Power corrupts!!
2 Corinthians 11:12 - 15
But what I do, I will also continue to do, that I may cut off the opportunity from those who desire an opportunity to be regarded just as we are in the things of which they boast. For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into apostles of Christ. And no wonder! For satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also transform themselves into ministers of righteousness, whose end will be according to their works.
So what can we do about it? Firstly we need to acknowledge that this is happening by taking our head out of the sand in denial, instead rise up and pray for the leadership of this nation and the church. Repentance must come. The past few days I have had a sense of foreboding. Sometimes it is difficult to separate what is from self and what is from God. However at church the other night the Holy Spirit was alerting me to this, what I have written, and He had me declaring some things so that harm will not come to this nation. This is not to alarm, but rather to alert. When we have been given an alert it is then up to us to cry out to the Lord to avert what may happen. It is about bringing balance to the scales of justice. This is some of what He had me cry out for. It is up to us to seek the Lord and His heart for Australia and His church. We are individual and the Lord shows in part but this is what He had me cry out and declare.
Lord, I lift up the name of Jesus over this nation!!! Lord I cry out to You to stop us from going down the road of destruction, down a way that seems right to a man!!
Have mercy upon me, have mercy upon us, have mercy upon this nation!!! Help us Lord, help us, we need You, we need You like never before!!! Pour out Your mercy on Australia, rain Your grace and mercy upon us!!! With hold Your hand Lord, spare this nation for we have a deep need of You!!! We are far from Your ways and Your truth.
Let Your justice, Your mercy reign, let Your grace and favour be upon Your church!!!
We declare Your truth Lord to be spoken, to be revealed, to bring us to a greater place of conviction and repentance. Teach us Your ways Lord that we might walk in them and be ALL that You require us to be in these days and times. Your Kingdom come here in Australia, Your will be done, Lord we ask in Your Mighty Name!!!
Amen,
So Be It!!!

‘As is the church, so is the government’ is something we should be considering very seriously. This is about governments worldwide, not only in Australia. Again like the balanced scales, there is a move trying to bring unbalance and unrest. Unrest is going to increase in many nations, particularly wealthy nations such as Australia and America. There is a contending for position in governance in many nations right now.
In Australia, we are at a very defining pivotal point. Our government has a very fragile balance of power. It only takes one slight movement and the scale will tip. There is an interesting dynamic occurring right now that is the most concerning thing I have seen thus far. It is a sign, and we the church must be watchful as to what is happening and what this sign is saying, for it is about the church too.
We have a labour government in an alliance with the greens. It is being said by many: ‘labour is the government, but the greens have the power.’ The power is in the hands of a few extremists pushing for many unrighteous laws to be actioned. Suddenly a small group, in a position of power, is pushing for euthanasia, and same sex marriage to be accepted and passed into law. It is happening subtly on the sidelines. The greens are often spoken as green on the outside and red on the inside. The greens do have a socialist agenda that stops business growth, that kills any development plans in the name of conservation. It wants everyone to be equal, killing all entrepreneurial skills and creative ideas. This is happening on our watch and the church must be the voice it was always meant to be to speak out against these unrighteous laws. It is concerning that many small groups are increasing in power and influence and being a voice that does not truly reflect the numbers of people supporting it. It is power in the hands of a very small minority, very concerning!! This corrupt power will be exposed. Corruption in high place of government will be confronted as the church prays, and as this agenda of man becomes known. We have seen it in local and state government, but not so much at a federal level of government.
The corrupt practices by unrighteous men and women will be confronted and the voices of many will rise up and say ‘enough’. People will no longer sit quietly and see unjust practices continue, that erode the peace, free will and the right to speak out being ripped out from under them. Truth must prevail even in our government. They are not above the law and this false authority and all it stands for, will be exposed.
There is a false rulership over this nation!!! There is a contending for power that is vicious and it will do anything to gain its authority and position at whatever cost to the people of this nation. It is self serving, pushing a selfish agenda, that has no consideration for the effects of its policies on the whole nation. God places those in authority and it is by His hand that we have the government we have. It is an unstable government and we should not be naïve in thinking it is God’s divine will for us. It is in fact a sign of judgment being released upon us and we need God’s mercy like never before. This is a sign of the balance of the scale tilting toward judgment and away from mercy. We see an example in Daniel where God confronted the ungodly leadership of King Balshezzar where in his pride he rose up against the Lord of Heaven.
Daniel 5:24 - 27
Then the fingers of the hand were sent from Him, and this writing was written.
And this is the inscription that was written:
MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN.
This is the interpretation of each word. MENE: God has numbered your kingdom, and finished it, TEKEL: You have been weighed in the balances, and found wanting.
Have we by our ungodliness both as a nation and the church been weighed in the balances and found wanting? That is the question we must ask ourselves as we see unrighteousness and idolatry increasing.
God will not strive with man and his ways, particularly in the church, any longer. He will not stand for compromise, for unrighteousness and any unholy alliances among and between His people. So why is this happening at this time now? What is this saying about what is happening in the body of Christ? What can we do about it? Can the wrongs be made right?
Apostolic leadership is about rulership. It is about a divine positioning of ones called to influence and bring change not only in the church but in society. The true apostle has paid a personal cost. They, like Apostle Paul, had a divine, life changing encounter with the Lord, that has defined them in such a powerful way, they will never knowingly do or say anything that would bring down or compromise the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ in any way shape or form. They have been placed in a divine rulership position because they are ones the Lord can trust. They have passed many tests in God and He has put His seal of approval upon them. There is however a contending by ones who are self appointed, with an unholy agenda contending for position as one of God’s apostles. They are false, and they are arising at this time. The church needs the gift of discernment like never before. We must be awake and alert to the devices of the enemy, for satan appears as an angel of light and will manifest in ways very close to the Spirit of God. It is not by the Spirit of God, but by man’s hand and there will be no fruit, only destruction and devastation to God’s people. We must be on guard for the false. The tragedy is many cults are arising that appear to have a godly message but Scripture is taken out of context and distorted to fit in with man’s agenda. It is not by the Spirit of God for if it were, there would be freedom to God’s people. In these unsettling times fear is arising both in the church and to those who don’t know the Lord. This is opportunity for unrighteous, ungodly men/woman to take vulnerable, desperate people and use them for their own ends. The greatest blasphemy is when they attach the Lord’s name to the works they are doing. That is the false that is arising and we all need to be on guard. It is taking an authority position they are never meant to have. It is a wrong authority position because it is rooted in power. Power corrupts!!
2 Corinthians 11:12 - 15
But what I do, I will also continue to do, that I may cut off the opportunity from those who desire an opportunity to be regarded just as we are in the things of which they boast. For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into apostles of Christ. And no wonder! For satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also transform themselves into ministers of righteousness, whose end will be according to their works.
So what can we do about it? Firstly we need to acknowledge that this is happening by taking our head out of the sand in denial, instead rise up and pray for the leadership of this nation and the church. Repentance must come. The past few days I have had a sense of foreboding. Sometimes it is difficult to separate what is from self and what is from God. However at church the other night the Holy Spirit was alerting me to this, what I have written, and He had me declaring some things so that harm will not come to this nation. This is not to alarm, but rather to alert. When we have been given an alert it is then up to us to cry out to the Lord to avert what may happen. It is about bringing balance to the scales of justice. This is some of what He had me cry out for. It is up to us to seek the Lord and His heart for Australia and His church. We are individual and the Lord shows in part but this is what He had me cry out and declare.
Lord, I lift up the name of Jesus over this nation!!! Lord I cry out to You to stop us from going down the road of destruction, down a way that seems right to a man!!
Have mercy upon me, have mercy upon us, have mercy upon this nation!!! Help us Lord, help us, we need You, we need You like never before!!! Pour out Your mercy on Australia, rain Your grace and mercy upon us!!! With hold Your hand Lord, spare this nation for we have a deep need of You!!! We are far from Your ways and Your truth.
Let Your justice, Your mercy reign, let Your grace and favour be upon Your church!!!
We declare Your truth Lord to be spoken, to be revealed, to bring us to a greater place of conviction and repentance. Teach us Your ways Lord that we might walk in them and be ALL that You require us to be in these days and times. Your Kingdom come here in Australia, Your will be done, Lord we ask in Your Mighty Name!!!
Amen,
So Be It!!!

A Word for India
by Belinda Jabore
Oh, India, my beloved diamond, what a splendid colourful jewel you are and you will be a spectacular array of Truth, Righteousness and My love unstoppable. As I look at the ocean with the waves tossing to and fro, out of it I see a people that are beautiful to look at - colourful, vibrant but being taken under the waves and being lost under the waves of things that have lied to them and taken hold of them.
I see a beautiful vine that seems like it is ok to weave amongst the people. This vine, a beautiful purple flowered vine, that is beautiful to the eye, but My children take note of this vine, as it will overtake you, strangle you, destroy and suck the life out of you. The vine and the waves of the sea eventually overtake and destroy you, just as the sea eventually swallows you up, so shall this vine and sea be. Isaiah 63
As I look at the ocean not too far out - this mass of people are going under the waves and the vine is strangling them as they have followed false idols and all sorts of false gods that are not of Me. These gods are beautiful to look at and seem lovely to the eye just like the beautiful vine, but they are poisonous and obnoxious vines that will kill and destroy My people if they keep allowing it to move amongst them.
Looking at the colourful mass of people and this vine entangling them I then saw a huge hand spreading seed across these people and certain ones started to grow and sprout in the Truth of God (Exodus 23:20-33; Deuteronomy 12:29-32; Deuteronomy 13:1-8) repenting of the past, walking away and cutting away from the vine that so entangled them. Walking into the Way, the Truth and the Life. The ones that would not listen would be lost and overtaken by the vine and the sea. Isaiah 64, 65 and 66.
As I continue to look further out in the ocean, past the people that are going under the waves, there is another group of people, from the middle of the ocean to the horizon, that overtook in number the people at the front of them. The mass of people, in the middle of the ocean, were strong and an array of colours, moving together in the Love of God. They were unified in the tasks of God, transforming the masses of humanity - the ruins, despair, poverty, lies, injustices and deception into the glorifying of Me and making a way. Making a way for My Godly kingdom plans and purpose to be accomplished.
Out of these masses of people, I saw other nations going in to help and gird the Indian people. I saw different buds, new ones, young ones and other grafts being grafted in, coming together, coming out all over the people and asking the Lord what these were? He said they are the young children that will and are coming forth to implement change and new hope. They will be in Government, Justice, Education, Housing, Agricultural, and Business. They will be establishing and changing the economy into Godly rulership and stewardship. Young, mature and old will agree to My kingdom plans and purposes in India. Kingdom plans and purposes of God.
All Mighty. All Powerful.
To transform India into the True Nature of Me and My son Jesus Christ.
