FOCUSSING THE VISION
“Join one another in following my example, brothers, and carefully observe those who walk according to the pattern we set for you. (18) For as I have often told you before, and now say again even with tears: Many live as enemies of the cross of Christ.” Philippians 3:17-18, BSB)
This site will provide opportunities for inspiration, spiritual enlightenment, directional leads, emotional strength and prayer support in difficult challenging times. The mandate I have been given is a strategic one. Therefore, there is a strong leaning in my writings towards systems of operation, infrastructural issues, cross-sector entities, leadership responsibility and stewarding in organisational/national/global settings. Now, let me just outline briefly some of the key notices you may want to participate in or just to be aware of:
1. The ‘Come With Me’ Invitation provides an opportunity to participate in our Prayer Plans, a sacred time of consecration, contrition, forgiveness and where possibly reconciling broken relationships.
2. Another Prayer Plan has now ended as we went through Elul, this 12th month of the Civil Jewish Calendar into Rosh Hashanah 2021 (5781). The Prayer Plan then continued into Yom Kippor and through into Sukkot, ending in early October. After these spiritually searching times of sacrifices, we can expect to see a shift in the directional lead of the Spirit towards the next phase of achieving the vision for Mission Borders.
3. It was in the winter of 2012 when I was woken from sleep in the very wee hours of the morning by the Spirit and instructed to write down what was being given to me. I hastily scribbled it in the dark and in the light of the morning it said:- ‘I want you to establish it in a conference in the place of the 7-fold churches’.
4. Since that day I have pursued with fervour the vision by researching, visiting Turkey a couple of times and also the Patmos Isles where Apostle John had his spiritual encounter. Through obedience, I was brought into the community of the people whom the Spirit would reveal to be connected to the revelation given in 2012. The subject group are known as the Alevi community. They are a group of ardent believers, many convinced of their spiritual roots being from the early apostles’ work in Asia Minor. My relationship with members of this Turkish community in the UK has led to divine connections in Northern Cyprus, Turkey and Bulgaria. As urged by the Spirit I have written a book on the vision to make this awesome God-breathed mandate crystal clear. I have continued to follow the signposts of an amazing prophetic journey of faith through dreams and visions, witness accounts and divine connections that have transpired since the winter of 2012. The Spirit has left me in no doubt, whatsoever as to the remarkable ways in which God is directing this end chapter of the church age for nations that are awaiting a full Spirit penetration of the Good News.
5. Based on the abnormal struggles, spiritual challenges and demonic levels of activities that I have encountered for this call, I believe the Spirit is aligning the true end-time Spirit-led church (body of Christ) as a strategic entity to assist the vision. The spiritually streamlined body of Christ will mind the same things. ‘Every Soul Matter’ is the tagline of Mission Borders, and the time has come for the in-gathering of the other sheeps that are not yet part of the fold, who will flow into this great harvest-season phenomena.
6. The spirit of division is a spirit of immaturity. The efforts of the collective-elect church, with one mind in the Spirit can achieve the culminating work of grace. The sum of who we are as a spiritual entity is greater than our various parts. As a collective force for good, it can only be galvanised in the Spirit because of the factious entities that exists through denominationalism. This is the season and the time as the Spirit brings me to my global God-ordained platform, so long denied me. It is most exciting to be at the centre of what God is doing in this time. The healing and restoration of the apostles’ work in Asia Minor is part of the end time move of God amongst the Alevi community. I believe this one divine opening into the Alevi community will have a ricochet effect into many nations with diverse religious beliefs as the end time healing rains split the spiritually cloudy dark skies. The hearts of the in-coming saints are already being prepared by the Spirit. They love Jesus but need to be recipients of the signs, miracles and wonders outpouring, be in fellowship with the elect-christian community, be taught the pure Word and the false religious beliefs stripped away from their psyche.
I love the Turkish nation and it is a love that has been imparted by the Spirit considering I did not know the Alevi community before the divine-connection with them in a building I was prompted by the Spirit to purchase. It has all been intentional for divine purpose to give God the glory. My time for occupancy, after a long ferocious spiritual battle, now draws near with the completion of setting up the ministry as God directed. I will now be suddenly restored back to this building to commence an amazing Spirit-led community project. I believe, according to my dreams that God whipped me away from that building, securing it until this season. By faith I see the many legal issues resolved, absent of me being present and the legal rights passed to me from the hands of an evil group of conspirators who God said, violently took a building off me. God told me to be still and know that He is God. I have faithfully followed the prophetic signs leading me back into my God-given property. This one move of God, back into my building will be the convincing proof to this community of the God that I serve. I truly believe that all I have gone through was as a witness to them of who God is. The spiritual doors are opening to the Alevi people for restoration, healing, salvation and their rightful heritage in Christ Jesus. We welcome into the rapture-readying body of Christ all those sheep that are not yet of this fold. Jesus is still pleading, today, ‘If you are thirsty, Come and Drink of Me’.
7. It was at the Feast of Tabernacle (Sukkot) that Jesus stood up and boldly announced an invitation to the thirsty. “On the last and greatest day of the feast, Jesus stood up and called out in a loud voice, “If anyone is thirsty, let him come to Me and drink. (John 7:37). This is the mission’s signature verse for this end time season. Preparation is in hand in the sprit realm for the imminent fresh living flow. “Then the man brought me back to the entrance of the temple, and I saw water flowing from under the threshold of the temple toward the east (for the temple faced east). The water was coming down from under the south side of the temple, south of the altar.” (Ezekiel 47:1, BSB) (8) “He said to me, “This water flows toward the eastern region and goes down into the Arabah, where it enters the Dead Sea. When it empties into the sea, the salty water there becomes fresh. (Ezekiel 47:8, NIV). As seen in Ezekiel’s vision, the trickling from under the threshold of the temple is flowing out to the salt basins of nations, for the healing of the thirsty, broken, hurting and languishing world. This move of God will not be like anything the end time church will have seen or experienced. Scepticism and indifference to this move of God and the servants chosen from the mass in the body of Christ will not stop God’s outstretched arm to restore oneness and a strategic Spirit-led leading to trawl in the fish nets of souls. “He told them, “Cast the net on the right side of the boat, and you will find some.” So they cast it there, and they were unable to haul it in because of the great number of fish. The nets of those of the remnant, faithful, longing, searching, spiritually thirsty saints have now been cast on the right side. It is the other side away from organisational religion, being weary from the long night, frustration of organisational toiling and achieving little despite one’s efforts. In obedience to the Spirit’s bidding, the nets cast by faith on the other side will trawl in a bumper catch in this season.
