THE ARISING OF THE VOICE OF INDIGENOUS WOMEN

by Glenice Mills


Recently many women from Women’s Apostolic Alliance attended the Indigenous Women’s conference held in Ipswich. This was not a WAA event however the Lord had shown us that it was going to be a very strategic.  Apostle Dr. Lynne Hamilton was the main speaker and she taught on the apostolic and I spoke about the prophetic. The Lord moved very powerfully and we know that victory and freedom came to all women who attended. It was a defining time for all of us. There was incredible unity, and we were truly of one heart, one mind and in one accord. There was time of repentance, declarations and a coming together in communion and prayer.

It was such an honour to be a part of this epoch time where we are seeing the rising of women, particularly the indigenous women of Australia. Many have done much in secret; they are doing amazing exploits in their communities, often alone. They spoke of being the door to their families, particularly their men. There was a powerful time of prayer for their men and for God to move to bring breakthrough for them.

There is a sound coming out from many Indigenous women, a sound of war. There has been a wrong perception of the Aboriginal people as being passive, and quiet however this is a lie of the enemy. This warrior sound, birthed out of brokenness and injustice will break strongholds of prejudice, division and misunderstanding.

We dare not shut the mouths of those who are called to speak in this hour; they have a cry that must be heard. God is raising His five-fold Indigenous women – His apostles, prophets, pastors, teachers and evangelists, and they will speak and declare God’s truth. The enemy is trembling as it loses ground because a victorious group of His women take their position as His voice in this land.

Revival won’t come to the church in Australia until God’s men and WOMEN, alongside our Indigenous men and WOMEN come together in unity. All walls of division – prejudice, judgments and wrong attitudes towards one another are repented and renounced and choosing to embrace our diversity, in love and honour toward one another. We must come in the opposite spirit of division because of prejudice and misunderstanding between one another. We dare not try and make the indigenous become like us non-indigenous by trying to get them to be ‘more like us’. That is pride, arrogance and superiority on our part!

Acts 10:34-35
Then Peter opened his mouth and said: “In truth I perceive that God shows no partiality.
But in every nation whoever fears Him and works righteousness is accepted by Him.

God does not have favorites.  He loves us all. Let’s get His perspective!

SHAKING THE OLD FOUNDATIONS

by Glenice Mills


During worship on the 20th June 2015 the Lord spoke to me. This is what He said:

“Open your eyes – see what is happening! The seasons, the times – don’t be numb! Don’t go to sleep – wake up – open your eyes – see what I am doing.
I am doing a new thing, there’s a stirring, a stirring, a rumbling – things are shaky. Why do you fear? I am shaking the old – foundations are crumbling.
They have to crumble – have to crumble – so I can build – build on the new foundations. Many are falling – churches are falling – My plans – so I can build the new!”

When the Lord first spoke this word to me I was unsure what old foundations He was shaking. There are so many areas that the Lord could shake however He showed me it was in His body of believers. There is coming a time that the true fullness of the Bride will begin to come forth. In order for this to happen old foundations have to crumble. It will be by the hand of God, and many will be shocked at the brutality of the fallout of some well known leaders, ones deemed of high reputation. The Lord sees and He is going to reveal some things that have been done in secret. Corrupt practices within the church will be exposed.

We know the Scripture about the wise man building his house upon the Rock, but we have to remember he is wise only because it was built on the Lordship of Jesus Christ. This is where the Lord is drawing a line between what is true and what is false. The opinions of man, the teachings of false doctrines, and the holding onto tradition are stumbling blocks to the fullness of Jesus Christ coming into His church.

Deception has come and blinded many of God’s precious ones. He is going to bring the shaking of man made human endeavors and bring His standards of truth, justice and righteousness. Some false religious teachings have to be exposed so the true can come forth. That which is crumbling, built on sand will not be able to stand in the day of God’s judgment. He will pull down those false doctrines and practices built by the hands of man.

Many churches started out being built on the Rock, the Lord Jesus Christ, however the problem arose with the structure – that is what holds everything together. Because traditions and idolatrous practices have crept in, this has made the church impotent. That which was supposed to be a light, a place of refuge and love has slowly eroded to being a club with fun programmes.

The truth is the Lord is coming with a sword to bring a dividing line between what is His church and what is by man’s design.

Matthew 16:18 “And I say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it.

The church will be victorious! However, it will only be victorious when it is built on the rock.  The tragedy is many well meaning people who love the Lord have subtly been seduced to believing lies that have blinded and deceived.

If God is raising up His apostles and prophets then issues such as tradition and idolatrous practices have to be exposed. This will make them unpopular, however it will bring a separation between the true and the false. As they speak and declare God’s truth you will see the Lord judge and bring a falling down of that which is not built on the Rock. The old must crumble for the new to arise.
Man has put his systems in place and added the Lord’s name to it thinking He endorses what man has put his hand to. It is delusion, and in no way can be called Christianity. Anything with man’s agenda as its core will not stand it cannot stand.

So what does the new look like? It will have the five-fold ministry in position with the apostles and prophets confronting, and setting in place true Biblical foundations, so growth and maturity will come to the saints. The saints will be empowered to go out into the world and be effective and influential to bring change in society. Strongholds, principalities and powers will be confronted by a fearless army of men and women, of all tribes and tongues, coming together in unity to expose darkness and speak and declare God’s light. 

This will be the victorious church!

BELOVED SAINTS - pt3

by Belinda Jabore

Beloved Saints,

If you listen to any God appointed apostles, they speak of the mature saints training and equipping the ones that are young in the Lord and maturing them. Then they will specialize in different areas and when they have matured sufficiently (when that time is right) then they will train others also and be able to help in the different areas they are called to. Ephesians 4:11-16

There is enough room for every one, don’t think that you will miss out, just be who you are meant to be in the body. Be a servant until you find out where you fit, it will become clear, don’t give up, be patient, your time will come if you position yourself to be ready. Even if you are working behind the scenes we will still get the same reward as the ones that are seen and up front as we are working as a team to get the job done. In that process you will see where you fit. We must be seen and accounted for and not hide.

We cannot be lone rangers and isolate ourselves. If we move away from the church we are antichrist.
The body of Christ must unite together in right order.

We have enlisted and given our hearts and lives to follow Jesus-Y’shua, not our own agendas. We must die to our own agendas.

Jesus Y’shua is an action person and He led by showing His disciples what to do and how to do it. He stayed with them to the end of His time here on earth. His blood sweat and tears went into them and those of the Way, the Truth, and the Life followed Him. They knew truth and followed the Truth. They had failures but they did not compromise. They did not do it alone, they went in groups and supported each other…. they were in relationship with each other, accountable to each other. They didn’t always agree with each other but they loved each other, laying down their lives for each other.

Unite!

OPEN YOUR EYES

by Glenice Mills


During worship on the 20th June 2015 the Lord spoke to me. This is what He said:

“Open your eyes – see what is happening! The seasons, the times – don’t be numb! Don’t go to sleep – wake up – open your eyes – see what I am doing.
I am doing a new thing, there’s a stirring, a stirring, a rumbling – things are shaky. Why do you fear? I am shaking the old – foundations are crumbling.
They have to crumble – have to crumble – so I can build – build on the new foundations. Many are falling – churches are falling – My plans – so I can build the new!”

When you write a word under the anointing of worship it can take time to consider and seek the Lord for understanding. You dare not take this word and try and put your own understanding on it. There are some statements the Lord wants to expand on so as I endeavor to do this, it is His word, His truth, not my opinion or my own understanding.

OPEN YOUR EYES!: When the Lord spoke this to me it was with a firm voice. He wanted to get my attention! The Lord wants to open our spiritual eyes to things He is doing at this time. He wants to show us greater understanding, not from the perspective of what we see happening in the natural – around and about us, but from His heavenly perspective. He is the higher way – He sees what is now and what is ahead for us. We must know the seasons and times both for ourselves individually but also for what is happening in the world around us.

Our eyes are about vision – seeing the way forward. So why is the Lord instructing us to open our eyes? Clearly we have had them shut whether that is by personal choice or because it was not time for us to see.  It is about His timing - a time to remove the blinkers off our eyes so we see with fresh vision and greater understanding.

It is easy to become numb and unaware of what is truly going on. When our eyes are opened we become aware of our environment all that is happening around and about us. We see things with clarity. We need clarity of vision like never before. Information is coming at us from all angles and if we bow to the overload we will lose our way. That is one of the problems of modern technology. If we hear or see something often enough we will become numb.

Critically the eyes of the five-fold ministry are the prophets. They are the one’s who see what is to come. Many prophets feel an urgency and a burden for the body of Christ, for what they are seeing happening at this time. We know evil is increasing, however, many are seeing where the Word of God is being weakened to appease man’s flesh, his sin and his wrong choices. Sadly the world is coming into the church and we are blind to it. Many add Jesus to what they want to happen in their lives, and follow their man made desires, rather than what the Lord wants. The truth is there is no easy way – the true walk in God will be difficult. We will have struggles, we will be different – and so we should be. We cannot bow to the idolatrous practices out there. We have to come back to yielding our lives fully to the Lord no matter what the cost.

The Lord wants us to open our eyes to the enemy’s strategies at this time. There are lots of prophetic words that are encouraging and comforting and yes we need these words but we don’t see too many words of warning or correction. Is it because God is not warning or correcting? The God I know warns but sadly we have become a bit au fait about His prophetic words. The more challenging words are put in the ‘too hard’ basket. Any words that are deemed not encouraging or comforting are often cast aside. This is a concern. For us in the body of Christ we must also be willing to speak and hear words from the throne room of God that would challenge, and have us come in humility and repent. This is where the true, mature prophet needs to wake up and open their eyes to the enemies’ ploys. Now is the time for us to be sharp, not blunt!

Open your eyes! See what is happening! Let’s get away from a ‘my narrow world’ thinking and ask the Lord to show us the bigger picture of what is happening in our cities, our regions, our nation, the nations of the world.

The truth is things aren’t going well. Evil is increasing. The Lord wants His prophets to speak, to confront the evil that is deceiving many, and have us bring the ‘difficult words’.

I know this is a first part of what the Lord is saying from the revelation He gave and the next part will look at what areas are going to be shaken and what are going to crumble. Some things have to fall so they can be rebuilt on a firm foundation.
  
Galatians 5:11-14 And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose them.
For it is shameful even to speak of those things which are done by them in secret.
But all things that are exposed are made manifest by the light, for whatever makes manifest is light.
Therefore He says:
Awake, you who sleep,
Arise from the dead,
And Christ will give you light.
