UNITE US!

by Belinda Jabore


We must take the risk to unite in the church no matter what it takes. Unite in “The Faith”. Unite us oh God in a right spirit towards You and each other.

The Holy Spirit highlighted a scene in Braveheart, which I think was around the 7th time I have seen this movie, and He impacted me in the scene when Robert the Bruce so wanted to be like Braveheart's Mel Gibson. Robert the Bruce saw how fearless and couragess Braveheart was to stand for the truth and freedom of others and fight for it, and yet regardless of how he admired and wanted to be like Braveheart, he betrayed him when it was his chance to stand for what was right at that hour. This was an opportunity for him, but Robert the Bruce succumbed to mans tradition and what was thought to be right, therefore betraying the true move….

This is for all of us, but I feel to say and alert the Indigenous First Nation people, as they need to be aware of this as white people have tried, and still will try, to take the reins and power and then think they are leading the move of God in Australia. The Indigenous First nation people however must be at the forefront and leading this battle, and lead and unite with the right ones God has connected their hearts with. Even though there is risk to unite together we must be brave just as Braveheart was for the battle of unity and freedom in the right Godly order. So this is where this word is coming from and what I see in the future, and is happening now, and will come against carriers of the truth and freedom of the church especially the Indigenous First Nation people. We must unite together and get behind them to unite to be the Apostolic prophetic five fold ministers in their own right, and we must bring the church into true freedom of what she needs to be and to stay that way - “Her true call uniting together as one”. 

Look out Australia, the Indigenous First Nation people will take their place and position, uniting together for God’s plans and purpose and the religious spirit will not like it.

Betrayers and betrayals will come saying they are for truth and freedom of the apostles doctrine and unity, but they will betray, saying they want to fight the good fight with you but then turn and side with the more accepted move, even when they have the ability to help you they will just leave you in a vulnerable position when that is the time they could shine in God to help wherever they could, but they will turn their backs on the true move of God. Leaders in prominent positions who say they are friends of God and know Him. Religious power hungry prideful men and woman who bow down to traditions of men who love religion more than Jesus who will try to stop what Jesus and the Father wants to accomplish for His kingdom purposes. They love to be in power drawing attention to themselves without the Holy Spirit, having a religious form of power but no Holy Spirit true power; therefore controlling what people think is the Holy Spirit. This is happening now.

But God will prevail and His truth will bring freedom and the gates of hell shall not prevail over His church. God will have His way. Women and Men apostles at the helm together with prophets with the rest of the five fold ministers together will identify and remove these spirits so others can live to stand in their rightful place and authority. Godly order to bring truth and freedom in the church as it is meant to be. It will not matter what color you are or what culture you have come from, regardless of these things all of us will “unite’ with God’s kingdom plans and purpose at the forefront of our heart and minds. Kingdom overrules culture. Hebrews 4:12-13 “For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.”

Apostles get to the heart of the matter and their love for each other and love of the truth will be evident. Their unity and peace will bring Godly order.

Footnotes from Aramaic New Testament say -
The burden of change is upon mankind to nurture the spiritual man according to the image of Elohim, but false religion puts the burden of change on Heaven, demanding that heaven conform to man’s religion.

It is so true of what has been and is and is coming in a greater way to the body of Christ.
Just as Jesus Christ died so must the mighty apostles and men and women of “the faith” in the spirit and the natural, to every thing that they have had or known? Loving their life unto death for Jesus Yeshua. Just like those who have fought for freedom before- there is a great price to pay. These mighty saints are instruments and carriers of truth to change the direction of where the truth has been twisted; it can only be done by those authorized by the Holy Spirit, Jesus and Father God and their order.

All colors and people groups will unite together. Cultures or traditions of men will not compromise the truth and only God’s Kingdom plans and purposes will prevail, as cultures will unite. Kingdom Rule overrides cultural rule.

Lovers of the truth, apostles with prophets uniting together with the evangelists, pastors, teachers. Five fold, as one, they all will unite then with other truth bearers and carriers of the same heart as Jesus and the Father and their Holy right spirit.

A remnant together as one, doing the work of the Kingdom of heaven.

Unite our hearts oh God - Unite us!

WARNING - WHAT IS 'MODERATE' AND WHAT IS 'RADICAL'?

by Glenice Mills

“We need to find a way of making it ‘us’, all moderates, against them, all radicals of all religions.” Australian Prime Minister, Mr. Malcolm Turnbull.

This would have to be the most serious statement a person has ever made that is a challenge to the Church right now and in particular the Church in Australia. This is our political leader speaking. For many of us who have known that there is a move to undermine the freedom of the church it is now been spoken and acknowledged. There are many dangers on a number of levels.

We can take this statement as addressing the Muslims and those who hold to their extremist views however there is much more behind it. We, the body of Christ need to ask ourselves some serious questions right now.

How is ‘radical religions’ defined? Is a Pentecostal, Charismatic church classed as a radical because it believes in Baptism of the Holy Spirit? Is an apostolic/prophetic church defined as a ‘radical’ because they speak out and address unrighteousness, injustices and ungodliness? Is a church that meets on a Sunday who is not threatening to what is deemed ‘politically correct’ defined as radical or is it what is called a ‘moderate’?

The Dictionary meaning of moderate is: avoiding extremes, one who holds moderate views, make less violent, intense, to becomes less vehement.

The Dictionary meaning of radical is: fundamental, far-reaching, holding extreme views, revolutionary, advocating radical reforms.

How do you define ‘a way of making it ‘us’? Is this saying we all need to agree by compromising, accepting the opinions of the loud minority, or ‘let’s all be friends no matter our religious, political, financial, social beliefs?’ If this is so, then we are heading down a road of increasing unrest, intolerances, prejudices, divisions and factions. It is the very opposite of ‘us’. It is the beginning of fascism, the mouths of the people shut up and the rising up of ungodly dictatorships.

Is there a political agenda here? Is there a push to silence the mouths of those who would make a stand for what is right and true? Undoubtedly!

The church is on the cusp of serious choices whether they choose to bow to what is politically correct by joining with and aligning ourselves with other religions to ‘keep the peace’ or are we going to stand out, stand apart, and not compromise, appease and agree with what we know is against God and His ways. Will we be the remnants who do not bow the knee to all that is idolatrous or will we be prepared to count the cost by being different with its associated persecutions, ostracism and isolation?

Does this mean that when we Christians speak out against social issues such as abortion, homosexuality, same sex marriage and euthanasia that we are deemed radicals and therefore we need to change so we become more ‘us’? What say some of say, “no, we won’t be quiet on these issues?” What happens to us? We will be viewed as the same as a murderous jihadi?

We are already seeing examples where church leaders have been challenged because of their stance of some of these issues. This is happening in America and we are not and will not be immune either if we are truly going to make a stand for what is right and true.

Church wake up!!! This is not the hour to stay comfortable, safe and secure in our little bubble of ‘false peace’. The greatest test is coming on the Church and it is happening now on our watch. What legacy do we want to leave our children and grandchildren? Let’s not fall for what appears to be right and open the door for deception. It’s time to be on the alert like never before!

THE DANGER OF TOKENISM

by Glenice Mills

We live in a world of slogans, sayings and catchy themes. Language is a subtle way the enemy can numb us to believe lies and say things that have no foundation on fact, truth or wisdom. We say things not realizing the power of the words we speak.

I want to address something that is being blithely spoken at this time, which is a part of our language, but is a very serious thing to speak.

Everywhere at the moment after the Paris bombings, leaders, Christians and peoples from all nations are saying, “My thoughts and prayers are with those in Paris”. Words are cheap. If we are truly honest we are probably thinking of other things and our prayers may be a quick ‘Help the people in Paris Lord’ and then we get on with our own thoughts and prayers for our own needs and wants.

Many who don’t know the Lord as Saviour still pray and that is the marvel of mankind that has this deep innate seed on the inside of all to reach out to God in prayer.

I am not being critical or judgmental because the truth is the Lord hears our prayers, He knows our hearts and I know He is grieved about what is happening in Paris and in the world. Rather I am challenging the heart intent behind the words we speak or more importantly what we don’t speak.

I fear tokenism is behind a lot of things and our religiousness will have us speak things that we have absolutely no intention of actually carrying out. I wonder how many people who have said the words ‘my thoughts and prayers are with Paris’ have actually sat down, sought the Lord for His heart for Paris, or whatever is on His heart in France or other nations that are also experience devastating things.

Tokenism means granting minimum concessions, making a token effort. I think we are all guilty of this in some measure, however we need to be very careful particularly as Christians when we give our word to someone that we carry it out. So perhaps we need to be more mindful of what we commit to saying and doing?

My question is: from what heart intent is these prayers for Paris being offered up? Emotion is powerful but the foundation of the emotion is critical. Sadly many are praying for Paris out of fear and anger. What ‘religion’ is the base from which these prayers are being said? What false foundation are these prayers based on? Man’s opinions? False peace? Do the people really care or they only doing ‘the right thing’ from pretense?

Many prayers are to a god, but not to Father God, through Jesus Christ our intercessor. Does God hear these prayers?

I have no doubt that many Christians are burdened with Paris and France right now and this is rightly so. Others have burdens for other nations, people or situations. The Lord reveals His heart to His people and we all have a responsibility to stand with, pray, love and support those who need us. Prayer is not just words it is actions. Prayer is a free will choice, not an obligation.

Let’s seek God for His perspective on some things. Yes He is a God of love, compassion and mercy, however let’s be on target and pray what He wants us individually to pray, not from wrong emotions, obligation or because it’s the right thing to do. Let’s not say, “I’ll pray for you” and go on our merry way with no intention of doing what we just said. Watch out for tokenism – it is subtly in our culture and speech. Let’s come back to what God says.

Let’s not forget this:

James 5:16
Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The EFFECTIVE prayer of a righteous man avails much.

LAZARUS

by Jesse-John Jabore

Have you experienced the amazing saving grace of God similar to Lazarus being raised from the dead?

Beware...... the religious spirit of this age that resides in the ‘powers that think they be’ is prowling like a hungry lion. Its intent is to devour not only the ‘Son of God’ in you, but the testimony of His miracle working power......that is YOU!

John Chapter 12 v 9 – 11 ‘Now a great many of the Jews knew that He was there; and they came, not for Jesus sake only, but that they might also see Lazarus, whom He had raised from the dead. But the chief priests plotted to put Lazarus to death also, because ON ACCOUNT OF HIM many went away and believed in Jesus’.

When the reality of Jesus’ power is displayed, the recoil effect upon the doctrine of people under the control of a religious spirit is massive. There is false doctrine and true doctrine. In this instance true/correct doctrine is that Jesus is the Son of God, with the miracle Lazarus being raised from the dead. False doctrine finds its origins in unbelief. As Barnes once said “unbelief stops at no crime”.........’but the chief priests plotted to put Lazarus to death also’. So, the weapon may be formed but it won’t prosper. Be encouraged. You will not die you will live......He’s a GREAT God!

GOD SPEAKS - REACT OR RESPOND

by Glenice Mills

It is interesting as you read the Word of God to see how different people react when God reveals Himself and speaks to them. There are many and varied reactions that we can learn from. I love the way God speaks to the potential, when the very opposite is happening. That is how He is with us. We can, however learn some things from the wrong reactions.

Gideon: In Judges 6:12 And the Angel of the Lord appeared to him, and said to him, “The Lord is with you, you mighty man of valor!”

We then see Gideon’s reaction in the following verse: Judges 6:13 Gideon said to Him, “O my lord if the Lord is with us, why has all this happened to us? And where are all His miracles that our fathers told us about, saying, “Did not the Lord bring us up from Egypt?” But now the Lord has forsaken us and delivered us into the hands of the Midianites.”

Just like Gideon our unbelief and the bowing to our circumstances going on around and about us override what the Lord has just spoken.
Gideon did not react like a man of valor but rather a frightened, overwhelmed man who did not show any leadership skills. As we see further in Scripture Gideon did become a man of valor with a few tests a long the way.

God speaks to us, and we then quickly become overwhelmed by the circumstances we find ourselves in. We negate what God has just spoken.
Like Gideon we are no different!

Another example is Moses who after God had shown him many miraculous signs he still doubted that he could lead the children of Israel to the Promised land.

Exodus 4:10,11 Then Moses said to the Lord, “O my Lord, I am not eloquent, neither before nor since You have spoken to Your servant; but I am slow of speech and slow of tongue.”
So the Lord said to him, “Who has made man’s mouth? Or who makes the mute, the deaf, the seeing or the blind? Have not I, the Lord?’

We see Moses still contended with God about his ability to speak and was not happy until God gave him Aaron to speak for him.
How often after the Lord has spoken to us and asked us to do something for Him do we then look at our inadequacies, making excuses for all the things we are not, rather all that we are?

Like Moses, we are no different!

Another interesting example is when Elisha stayed with Elijah until he ascended to heaven. The sons of the prophets saw this, yet they still had to go and search for three days to see if they could find Elijah, even after seeing the miracle.

Again it is easy to fall into the trap of ‘maybe just maybe what I had will come back.’ It is easy to want to go back to what we had, what we knew, and therefore resist the new that has come. We don’t see and appreciate the ‘now moment’.

We have to be very careful as even experiencing miracles does not necessarily increase our faith. There are many seeking the signs, wanting to feel and know ‘the glory’ but again change doesn’t necessarily come. People search out the next feel good occasion, the next conference to get the ‘high’, but things don’t change in people’s lives, they still go on with the same bad attitudes and habits. The high is not sustained, life is maintained, but growth is not evident.

The exciting thing is that Moses and Gideon grew as men of God and became all that He said they would become. The reality is the negative reactions also caused ongoing problems for them. Aaron, Moses brother who Moses asked to speak his words for him, also became a problem to him.

We have to be constantly flexible to what the Lord is saying and doing or we will miss a very strategic opportunity.

It is interesting to see what happened when Jesus called His disciples.

Matthew 4:18-20
And Jesus, walking by the Sea of Galilee, saw two brothers; Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother casting a net into the sea; for they were fishermen.
Then He said to them, “Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men.”
They immediately left their nets and followed Him.

The same happened with the other disciples. Jesus called them and they immediately stopped what they were doing and followed Jesus.

So what made these men instantly obey? They all had to give up something they knew, a job, and a lifestyle to follow Jesus. God had prepared these men’s hearts so when Jesus came to them, they without hesitation followed Him.

The Lord is requiring it of His people right now – one’s that He has earmarked for a specific job to do to advance His Kingdom in this hour. God’s heart cry remains – ‘FOLLOW ME!” It will mean giving up some things, there will be a personal cost, and there will be persecution. Let’s not fall into the trap of one’s who react but rather respond with “Yes Lord I choose to follow You no matter what.” The choice is mine the choice is yours. We have free will. Let’s not hesitate, time is short, there is a work to be done!

GENERATIONAL CHANGE

by Glenice Mills

A number of years ago I wrote a word about the ‘generation gap’. It was a saying that came about during the 60’s and 70’s when there was a cultural shift in morals, and life values. It was the beginning of a greater rebellion against God and His ways. It was a defining time in history. It was the beginning of pitting one generation against another. The good news was, it also saw the birth of the Jesus movement.

The words ‘generation gap’ have brought consequences that to this day have defined groups according to age. It has locked people into what man says are a particular group people should belong too. It has shaped culture since. The truth is the enemy has lied and bondage has resulted.

The dictionary meaning of gap is a breach in hedge, fence or wall; empty space, interval, deficiency, and wide divergence in views.
The result of a gap is a chasm, a divide that has to be filled.  Guess who fills the gap? The enemy! He has promoted the mindset of the wide divergence of views of misunderstanding between the generations.
Instead of us embracing the differences we have succumbed to the great age divide.

A gap brings separation, a divide, division, a ‘them and us’. This ‘them and us’ leads to isolation, which results in a superiority and pride. It creates a social and cultural divide. It breeds inclusiveness and exclusiveness.

It is interesting to note in most churches there are group divisions such as youth, married, young mothers, and elderly. There is nothing wrong with these groups getting together meeting their individual needs. However the problem arises when there is no cross-pollination among the different groups. The danger is a fragmentation – a breaking off, casting out because of a hidden prejudice.

It is such a fine line and the lie is subtle. It distorts what God truly represents, and that is family – all ages, sexes, and nations meeting together as one in true unity in diversity. It is where there is mutual honour and respect. The walls of division come down and the building of true oneness in God, each gleaning the unique aspects of the different groups begins to form.

The Lord reminded me where over twenty years ago I foreran a programme in the kindergarten I led where the elderly from a neighbouring old people’s home would come visit us for a short time once a fortnight. It was interesting to watch the children’s reaction and also the way the elderly responded. We used to bake something for morning tea and prepare a musical item. The elderly came alive, were excited and willingly joined in our activities.

We also used to regularly go and visit them at the old people’s home where they would entertain us with an item and provide morning tea. Friendships and bonds were made and the walls of division came down.

Of interest was the Asian children were so much freer in relating to the elderly and most other children struggled to connect.
It is interesting to note that in recent times they are planning both old age facilities and childcare/preschools in the same grounds. There is a mutual benefit for all.

The truth is God created us to need one another. We dare not fall into the trap of favouring one particular group over another. The Lord’s heart is about legacy. It is about us all embracing our differences and drawing what we need from one another. The young need the wisdom of the older ones and the older ones need the zeal of the young. Together we are an expression of the fullness of God.

The Lord has burdened me with the importance and how crucial it is that we encourage, promote, and allow the expression of the young to have a voice. That is not just an occasional opportunity to preach, or share, but to provide a platform for them to be who they are truly called to be. It is drawing out the gifts, anointing and unique ways they have so we will also be fired up. The Lord is rising up some young ones with maturity beyond their years, with a social conscience, and there is a quickening of positioning for them so they can be most effective. Time is short and we dare not hold them back as we need them to forge ahead to bring about His Kingdom purposes.

This word may appear to encourage the generation gap by singling out one particular group, - the young, however God is highlighting some and we need to know who He is speaking and revealing His truth too. Inclusivity encourages all to be all they are called to be no matter the age, sex or culture.

Joel 2:28,29
“And it shall come to pass afterward
that I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh;
Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,
Your old men shall dream dreams,
Your young men shall see visions.
And also on My menservants and on My maidservants
I will pour out My Spirit in those days.

God is and will pour out His Spirit on all flesh – that is the young, the old, male and female. There will be no exclusive groups, but all loving, supporting, in unity being and doing all God has anointed them too.

We must be aware where we break into our groups according to age, but rather draw from one another the unique expressions of God, so together we can begin to display the fullness of Jesus Christ in His body of believers. Let’s recognize where we have believed and accepted the lie about the generation gap, repent of the division and move toward one another, encouraging, standing with and wanting the best. Be quick to repent of comparisons, jealousies and making judgments that encourage division. Watch what we say – “The young have it so easy, they don’t have to go through decades of hardship like we did.” I often hear the older ones say this. We don’t know and see the big picture of what God is doing in this hour, but what I have noticed is He is doing a quick work in the young because time is short and He needs them to mature in Him because evil is increasing. We need one another like never before. Let’s embrace the different expressions and move forward together. We are on an exciting journey!

MANY LEADERS, MANY WORDS

by Glenice Mills


Last night (Monday 14th September 2015) we saw the demise of another leader of this nation of Australia by the hands of an ambitious man. We saw the end of true democracy where the votes of the people were no longer truly upheld and instead the political party room fears of self -promoting won out.  This is a sad day for Australia and for democracy.

Australians would say they live in a land of abundance, freedom and blessings. However there is a deep discontent that drives the people to always want change to the leadership in this nation. The issue with Australia is a LEADERSHIP issue. There is a deep cry that says: “give me a leader who will make the hard decisions” but whenever a leader tries to lead they are then vilified, made a joke of, mocked and derided. The very thing the people want is quickly shot down in flames. The venom and vitriol associated is vile and vulgar. It reflects poorly on the people and is a disgraceful display viewed by other nations as unusual. Other world leaders look at Australia and wonder what we are so ungrateful for. They are envious of our economy, lifestyle, and all the good this nation has to offer – particularly its people. But we CAN’T SEE IT!!!

New Zealand’s Prime Minister, the Honorable Mr. John Key was heard to say: “what is wrong with Australian politics that they have so many leaders when the strength of the economy and other key indicators would not warrant regular leadership spills.”

What is wrong that we have had so many leadership changes in a short time? Why is this happening and what can be done to rectify this? We need to come back to the Word of God and what it says.

So what does Scripture say about a nation that has many leaders?

Proverbs 28:2
When a land transgresses, it has many rulers, but when the ruler is a man of discernment, understanding and knowledge, its stability will long continue.

When you think of Australia you would not think it is an unstable nation. The truth and reality is: it is an UNSTABLE NATION! And yes perhaps we could say it is in fact God’s judgment. We must come back to the words, when a land transgresses, in other words, when there is sin there are many rulers. There are some things that the Lord is judging right now.

We have seen through out history where many third world nations have had many leaders overthrown bringing political instability. Have we considered that perhaps we also have political instability? It would certainly seem that way!
The voice of the people has been shut, and the value of a vote has been cut down so you could say the foundation of our governance is not good.
This word could seem extreme, however we need to stop and consider what is happening here, right now.

We have seen throughout the Bible and history where God has put in place both Godly and ungodly leaders depending on the state of His people. God puts the leaders in place to bring about His greater Kingdom purposes. It is no different today.

There are some observations I would like to make that are important to note at this time.

Malcolm Turnbull, our new Prime Minister is known to speak many words. He is described as verbose, however it will be what will trip him up. Scripture says in Proverbs 10:19

In the multitude of words sin is not lacking,
But he who restrains his lips is wise.

When many words are spoken it is easy to forget what one has said and promised. The heart of the message gets lost and it causes a stumbling and tripping up. It is a trap for the foolish. This will happen to our new leader.

We have seen in the past where those leaders who have overthrown a sitting Prime Minister have not remained. They have been spoken of as a traitor who ousted a sitting Prime Minister. No matter if they were a good leader or not these words were later used as an accusation against them. The same will happen with Mr. Turnbull. Why? It is the law of reaping and sowing.

Galatians 6:7
Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.

So what are the deep issues that keep Australia stuck in this leadership battle?

LEADERSHIP: I think we need to ask ourselves where are the true leaders, that is one’s who have a genuine heart for the betterment of Australia rather than their personal agenda. Why is it that when a leader tries to lead they are quickly ousted? It seems that true Godly leadership is pulled down for an unrighteous agenda of power and self-interest.

THANKSGIVING: We as a nation have forgotten we are blessed. There is ungratefulness and a sense of entitlement that is founded on self and what is in it for me. There is a constant rumbling of discontent that fuels ungratefulness. Unless and until we are truly thankful for what we have in this nation we will continue in the cycle of the revolving door leadership.

MOCKERY: There is a mocking stronghold principality over Australia that verbally pulls down leaders and the way they do things. People are quick to sneer at and speak against any leaders who try to take a stand for what is right. We have seen this with the way Mr. Abbott has been treated. It is unbecoming and in no way is edifying of leadership.

DISHONOUR: I have to say it is embarrassing to witness the dishonor that is given to those in leadership positions. There is a dumbing down of the position with an overfamiliarity that keeps everyone on the same level. The truth is all leaders are worthy of honour because of the position they hold. Our Prime Minister is the leader of this nation, they represent all that we are and for us to dishonor them is rude and crass.

DISRESPECT: All people are worthy of respect and to demean anyone, particularly a nation’s leader is uncalled for. There is an overfamiliarity that keeps everyone on the same level.

IT STARTS WITH THE CHURCH!
I know many have been praying for Mr. Abbott to remain as Prime Minister as he has made a stand for righteousness. He has been a vocal opponent of same sex marriage. The Lord sees the big picture and He knows what is ahead for Australia. As a church we need to recognize the battles we are in and rise up and speak out for what is right and true. I have no doubt God’s heart is for Australia to be a sheep nation. The End Time church is arising in Australia and we will be a voice for righteousness and justice. God will have His way! He does see and hear our prayers! We will be able to declare: what the enemy meant for evil God WILL turn around for good!

Job 12:23
He makes nations great, and destroys them;
He enlarges nations and guides them.

We must never forget this nation of Australia is God’s nation. He is God!
