THE REALM OF FAITH
“And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who approaches Him must believe that He exists and that He rewards those who earnestly seek Him.” (Hebrews 11:6, BSB)
I believe anything is possible when you are Spirit-led to move in the realm of faith. To accomplish kingdom works in these challenging times requires belief in the sovereign rule of our Lord in the universe. “Moses said to him, “When I have left the city, I will spread out my hands to the LORD. The thunder will cease, and there will be no more hail, so that you may know that the earth is the LORD’s” (Exodus 9:29, BSB. I believe one can be transported to assignments in the earth that by-passes national security restrictions. That is my faith, “And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who approaches Him must believe that He exists and that He rewards those who earnestly seek Him.” (Hebrews 11:6, BSB).
In Acts 8, we see Phillip on assignment to minister the Testament of Jesus to the Ethiopian eunuch, a man of diplomatic eminence in Queen Candace’s government. As the eunuch read the portion of scripture in Isaiah, he was left wondering who the writer spoke of. Isaiah had written about the Testimony of Jesus. Directed by the Spirit, Phillip was sent to assist this man who was sitting in his chariot, homeward bound. Phillip was Spirit-ushered into the presence of an earnest seeker. After accomplishing his Spirit-assignment and baptising the eunuch, Phillip was supernaturally transported from his presence and whipped away to Azotus, approximately 20 miles away. “When they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord carried Philip away, and the eunuch saw him no more, but went on his way rejoicing.” (40) But Philip appeared at Azotus and traveled through that region, preaching the gospel in all the towns until he came to Caesarea. (Acts 8:39-40, BSB)
I believe in the signs, miracles and wonders that will accompany those who will draw on the virtue of Jesus our Lord.
Finding My Identity
It was an immense journey of faith that has led me to this leg of my spiritual journey. In 2015 I received in my spirit that I would receive an ‘out of Egypt’ deliverance to assist me to break into my purpose. At that time every avenue available to me to rebuild myself was closed to me. I was shutdown by the leadership. I was ‘up the creek without a paddle’. I could not make the necessary changes to accommodate the advancement of the call. it would require divine intervention to give me an opening. The collective Church was infected by a lie the enemy made them entertain. Righteous in their own eyes they stood in judgement against me. From my position of brokenness I had to silently watch the charade as church life continued. The emergence of a New Order was Spirit-revealed to me in 2015. It would be an indiscriminate virus affecting the entire globe that would make it possible for a new season to emerge out of the worldwide chaos..
Scribing My Way Out
During the lockdown in Easter 2020 I had a dream that the Church community was on a break and during that break I found my handbag that I had lost. The bag I found was a bright pink one. The dream indicated I had lost my identity. It would be when everything was shutdown that I found my identity. After Pentecost 2020 the Lord urged me to start the Prophetic Blog. The time had come for me to start writing again as the gift in me was provoked in that season. I have never looked back. The Spirit, compelling me to write has ensured I write my way out of spiritual captivity as this Blog continues to open doors for me.
It was plagues destroying Egypt that gave Israel the deliverance out of Egypt. The Egyptians, eager to see the back of Israel was even hurrying them out with silver and gold. In 2011 at the commencement of my spiritual journey this Word was spoken loudly into my spirit as I woke from sleep, “Who has believed our message? And to whom has the arm of the LORD been revealed?’ (Isaiah 53:1, BSB). There is no doubt this prophetic call could not gain traction in a church environment. Coursing my way through the realm of faith would be the means by which i would come forth by a phenomenal ‘out of Egypt’ move of God.
Destroying The Religious Spirit
It was a stirring mantle that would disturb the deep recesses of the heart to reveal the true nature of individuals. The leadership fraternity across the Body of Christ withstood my progress bringing distress and isolation. I am not about to spare the leadership across the collective Church. I have no qualms writing about the change needed in leadership because I am urged to write by the Spirit. Church leaders are not untouchables when God begins to disrupt the order. Thankfully, I can now see why it had to be so. A 7-fold level of rejection and mistreatment would endow me with the 7-fold healing mantle.
In this end season the Spirit of God is moving against the obnoxious religious spirit. This objectionable spirit is against real change that shifts the church order. It is against the healing of the people in the fashion that God desires. This spirit hated Jesus and His Reconciliation Ministry. The revealing of the mighty outstretched arm of God will bring back godly fear into the people and even the watching nations. It will be a very public deliverance because what was done to me was not done in a corner. God has been watching over my night and I will be given escorted passage through the mighty deep. The deliverance for this end time’s 7-fold healing mantle will cut a path for many others coming behind to cross over into their destiny. It has been an unbearably long spiritual night but faith and divine peace has kept me moving.
I pour forth these words breathed into my spirit in the dark night of the soul. “He will bring forth your righteousness like the dawn, your justice like the noonday sun.“ (Psalms 37:6, BSB). “But Moses told the people, “Do not be afraid. Stand firm and you will see the LORD’s salvation, which He will accomplish for you today; for the Egyptians you see today, you will never see again.” Exodus 154:13, BSB).
