GOD FOR US OR AGAINST US?


"When Joshua was by Jericho, he lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold, a man was standing before him with his drawn sword in his hand. And Joshua went to him and said to him, Are you for us, or for our adversaries? 14 And he said, No; but I am the commander of the army of the Lord. Now I have come. And Joshua fell on his face to the earth and worshiped and said to him, What does my lord say to his servant? 15 And the commander of the Lord's army said to Joshua, Take off your sandals from your feet, for the place where you are standing is holy." 
Joshua 5:13-1


Greetings to you, Beloved of the King!


At the end of 2013 I sent out a letter with the word for 2014 that spoke about "Deliverance from Captivity" and the doors that are opening up for us to walk through ... out of captivity and into the freedom Jesus purchased for us through a complete work on the cross.

We are in March now(Hebrew month Adar which spans over February and March) which was the time that Esther petitioned the king for the salvation of her nation.  In a month's time we will celebrate Passover as well, when the Israelites were led out of captivity and where they had to enter through a door that had the marks of the blood of the lamb on it.  As it is written in the Talmud, "When Adar comes, joy is increased", because of the freedom it brought them!

Jesus says 'I am the Door' and it is through the blood of Jesus that we could enter into the Kingdom of God!  As we entered into the Kingdom of God, we became ambassadors of the Kingdom of God and a gateway through whom God can release His love, His word and His power to this world.  

Therefore, 'Lift up your heads, o you gates, so that the King of Glory can come in!"(Ps 24).  Set your mind on the things above and not on the things of this world, so that the King of Glory can release His Word, His intercession, His love and His grace to a world that cries out for His intervention!

There is an outcry rising from the nations as the enemy breathes his fire of destruction and division over the nations of the earth!



BRIDE OF CHRIST RISE UP AND LET YOUR VOICE BE HEARD IN THE NATIONS AS WE SPEAK GOD'S END-TIME PLANS AND PURPOSES OVER THE NATIONS!

END-TIME WAR IS A MEDIA WAR
"The Spirit and the Bride say 'COME!"  Rev 22:17

God sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to reconcile all nations to Him.  He loves every nation and there is a dream in His heart for every nation!

The enemy hates God and his strategy is to bring division and chaos wherever he can.  He sends his spirit of racism into the hearts of people so that they can reject everything that is different to them, causing division, hatred and loss of lives!

The enemy uses the media to release lies and propaganda that brings confusion and fear to people causing them to react in self-protection against an enemy that is not really an enemy.



RUSSIA VS UKRAINE



The conflict is mainly fueled by lies of genocide, false propaganda and a threat to the Russian people living in the Ukraine - all the time using the power of media.  God is not against the Ukraine nor against Russia.  He is the Lord of Hosts and He loves both nations!


We, the believers, are the heavenly media, as we hear and read God's Word and proclaim and speak it into the earthly atmosphere over our nations!

As believers, let's rise up and stand by God's side to release His plans and purposes for both nations through prayer and worship.  Make sure that you are not intimidated by the media and allow racism into your heart.  Make sure your prayers are void of racism.  Every nation is a treasure in God's heart!  When you pray, Russians and Ukrainians, pray as ambassadors of the Kingdom of God, not as Russians and Ukrainians!

"All the ends of the earth shall remember and turn to the Lord, and all the families of the nations shall worship before you.  For kingship belongs to the the Lord, and He rules over the nations." Ps 22:27

Let us proclaim that the Kingdom of God will come in Russia and Ukraine as it is in heaven!
Let us proclaim that church in Russia and Ukraine will rise up in unity as the powerful Bride of Christ, in a spirit of LOVE, POWER and a SOUND MIND to speak God's purposes into their nations!
Let us pray that the VOICE OF THE BRIDE of RUSSIA and UKRAINE will drown out the voice of the world! 
Let us pray that the relationship that God wants to form between Russia and Ukraine will be a relationship that will empower the advancement of the Kingdom of God.
Let us pray that the counsel of the Lord, that will stand forever, will be released in the hearts and minds of the leaders of both nations!

"The Lord brings the counsel of the nations to nothing; He frustrates the plans of the peoples.  The counsel of the Lord stands forever, the plans of His heart to all generations.  Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, the people whom He has chosen as His heritage!"  Ps. 33:9

PETITIONING GOD FOR OUR NATION


We had a 'Fragrance and Sound' Camp at the beautiful 'Heaven's Mountain View' Resort in the Galgeberg close to Robertson.  We could never imagine what God had in store for us!  We were overwhelmed by Him!

We positioned the people in their God-given position for a time such as this, in the gateway of this year where we prophetically walked out of our captivity into the freedom of Christ.  We CHOSE LIFE and NOT DEATH!  We proclaimed God's blessing and His Word over the territories He entrusted to us.

Eunice unpacked the truths about us being the aroma of Christ to God.

"But thanks be to God, who in Christ always leads us in triumphal procession, and through us spreads the fragrance of the knowledge of him everywhere. 15 For we are the aroma of Christ to God among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing, 16 to one a fragrance from death to death, to the other a fragrance from life to life." 2 Cor 2:14



I spoke about the power of sound and the necessity of retaining our testimony in order to overcome (Rev 12:11).  In the practical session we discovered each one's own, unique sound, which is the sound of Christ that you carry in you and that has authority over the sound of the enemy.  It is always glorious to see the freedom and boldness that comes to people when they realize how powerfully and beautifully God works in and through them and their uniqueness.  

On Sunday we came as the corporate Bride of Christ of SA before the King of all Kings to petition the Lord for our nation.  As people came forward with their petitions, asking for the wind of the Holy Spirit to come upon SA, strong winds starting blowing around and through the hall where we were gathering.  Everyone realized that it was supernatural and started shouting praises to the Lord with loud voices!  As the petitioning went on, it happened a second time!  After we brought our corporate petition before the Lord, we went outside to release a sound of victory with singing, dancing, tambourines and shofars, worshipping the King of Kings and thanking Him for hearing our petition.
A single, white cloud formed above us which looked like the thumbprint of God!  Once again, we knew that the Lord was with us!



Thank You!

I commend you before God for your faithfulness and your love and deep desire for more of God!  I bless you to be a voice for God in the nations to release His love and end-time purposes in prayer over the nations!  Lift up your head, o you Gate, so that the King of Glory can come into your situation, your city and your nation!



I bless you in the mighty Name of Jesus, our Saviour and King!
