‘COME WITH ME’ INVITATION

‘COME WITH ME’ INVITATION

Blow the ram’s horn in Zion; sound the alarm on My holy mountain! Let all who dwell in the land tremble, for the Day of the LORD is coming; indeed, it is near ( Joel 2:1,BSB)

’Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ.’ (1 Corinthians 11:1, KJB)

You are cordially invited to come along with me on a unique spiritual journey. I welcome you with explicit assurances of the Spirit-joy, dawning upon our world in a measure of fullness for the closing of the church age. A season of the completeness of the outpouring of the end time #NewPentecost promise of the Resurrection power. It will be a rapturous season of unfettered unceasing expressions of euphoric outpouring.

Join me in this season of the perfecting of the end time church. The call to salvation, healing, restoration and deliverance is being poured out by the end time #NewPentecost power. Under a strategic 7-fold releasing mantle we will begin to see the stirring move of the Spirit for this end season. Previous generations of worshippers will not have experienced this dimension of outpouring of Holy Spirit power. Come with me people, together let us herald in this new season’s phenomenon of the Spirit-led signs, miracles and wonders of our Lord.

A #NEW PENTECOST season is upon our world. A New Order is here.
Take up this ‘Come With Me’ Invitation and follow this Spirit-breathed end time call into a new global spiritual awakening. A time of healing, restoration and renewal, after a long night of plagues sickness and death, is now being ushered in. Do not miss where the awakening, refreshing and incessant flow of the Spirit is coursing. A new spiritual awakening of unending joy from yet untapped Spirit-power source. It will flow from under the threshold of the tabernacle of receptive grateful hearts.

Pentecost 2021

In the early biblical accounts, the Holy Spirit descended upon those ardent followers of Jesus, praying in the upper room. It was 10 days after Jesus’ Ascension that the promise of the Father was fulfilled before the watching community of visiting Rabbis into Jerusalem. The Holy Spirit descended with power upon the faithful seekers.  (Acts 1 and 2)

As I write with joyous anticipation, many are now awaiting a new and fresh manifestation of the Resurrection power in this season of Pentecost 2021.  This ‘Come With Me’ Invitation may seem simple and not usual in methodology to galvanise christians, particularly as the author is from a relatively unknown source.  But it is a credible source.  A God-chosen servant,  announcing yet another update of the first invite, Spirit-breathed in Passover 2020 during the height of the new wave of the pandemic.

A year on, I now sense in my spirit that there is a shift, as the Spirit urges that the flow of water from under the threshold of the tabernacle will not now flow out of what is the current body of Christ.  Yes, indeed it will be so!   A bold statement, I hear you say, but nonetheless one that I will not retract.  It is so in the Name of Jesus.  The end time flow spoken of by Ezekiel the prophet, (Ezekiel 47), will trickle out towards the Arabah basins, (Gentile nations). The trickle will become a deluge of the #NEWPENTECOST flow cascading in a torrent into the dry dusty plains of the thirsty nations.  I am hearing in my spirit that just as the invitation-message of Jesus was held in contempt, not received amongst the leaders and worshippers, the new mandate for this end time will be slighted as the church reinvents itself from its own mindset. “The apostles and brothers throughout Judea soon heard that the Gentiles also had received the word of God.” (Acts 11:1, BSB)  

It will be the people outside of the city gates that will herald the #NewPentecost outpouring.  They will be grateful recipients, empowered, vivified and healed by the Testimony of our Lord.  The body of Christ, being too preoccupied with works, will not be able to sense the Spirit shift to morph and transform in the manner required for this time.  Sadly it appears many will likely miss where the Spirit is working from and through whom the Spirit is revealing strategic intelligence. They will hear of the atmospheric spiritual change as the people of the nations rush into the kingdom with expectant joy.

As a lone voice outside of the walled city gates, I have continued, as led of the Spirit to fearfully and diligently warn, pouring forth from the rooftop of the spiritual house.  That season of warning, blowing the shofar word is coming to an end as the ‘Come With Me’ Invitation has now Spirit-shifted into Jesus’ invitation to the preoccupied worshippers at the Feast of Tabernacle in  Jerusalem.  “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, BSB).   Undeterred, resisting the rebuffs for the Testimony of our Lord, I have single-mindedly forged a spiritual platform, mandated to me, from which I will not be toppled.  When God establishes your path no one can interfere with or resist His favour towards His beloved servants.

I am confident in the Spirit-led next move for mankind.  I have no doubt that the new forceful releasing end time mantle, endowed and robed upon me has been stirred.  Graciously excited, I humbly go through this 2021 season of a new Pentecost to shift into my Spirit-led strategic end time positioning.

GWENDOLYN SMITH. #NEWPENTECOST. 11th APRIL 2021

A #NEWPENTECOST 2021

A #NEWPENTECOST 2021

“The Spirit of the Lord is on Me, because He has anointed Me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent Me to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to release the oppressed, ” (Luke 4:18, BSB)

It is said that the ecclesiastic timing, when Moses led the children of Israel out of Egypt is the calendar that God works from. I believe it because I am usually given new instructions for this end time strategic prophetic healing and restoration call during these biblical periods of history. It was during Nisan that the passover lambs were slaughtered in Egypt. The doorposts of their homes were marked with the covering of the blood. “Then they took some of the blood and put it on the sides and tops of the doorframes of the houses where they ate the lambs.” (Exodus 12:7). This act of obedience would save their lives as the Death Angel would only look for the blood covering on the houses. The month of Nisan was significantly about celebrating the memorable passing over from slavery, plagues and death into a miraculous deliverance out of Egypt. Nisan is also one of the months associated with the counting of the Omer. Omer is a unit of measure for dry goods and grain commodities.

Festivals and Holy Days were always an important part of Jewish life. Pentecost is a Greek word for 50 and was one of the Jewish Festivals. Shavuot is the Hebrew equivalent for 50. The day after Easter Sunday when Jesus rose from the grave, the countdown to Pentecost would begin. For 7 weeks the people would verbally count down to the 49th day and celebrate on the 50th day. Shavuot is called the Festival of Weeks as it falls 7 weeks after Passover. It is an agricultural feast to celebrate the harvest. Shavuot celebrations commemorates the time when the Torah was revealed to Moses on Mount Sinai. The Torah (Law) was given by God to establish a legally binding covenant relationship with His people, Israel.

Since the Feast of Unleavened Bread and Passover are closely timed, the two together are often called Passover. This Festival commemorates the wilderness journey where the children of Israel were given daily provisions and protection by God . According to Exodus 15:23-25, it was not long after leaving Egypt when Israel, thirsty and tired came to a well springing bitter water. At the request of God, Moses proceeded to throw a log into the water and miraculously it became sweet for them to drink. God was demonstrating to His people that He would be everything to them. ‘I am God, Yahweh Nissi, your provider and Yahweh Rapha, your Healer’. He was faithful to His people. A covenant relationship requires both parties to adhere to the legal agreement. Now obedience and faithfulness to the law was required of Israel to elicit the blessings. These endearing qualities would guarantee their healing and protection and define their character as His chosen people. The Word from God in preparation to leave Egypt stipulated how they prepare themselves to make a sacrifice for the exodus. Israel commenced their sacrifice by eating bitter herbs with matzo. “That same night they are to eat the meat roasted over the fire, along with bitter herbs, and bread made without yeast.” (Exodus 12:8). The eating of bitter herbs is a type of purging of self . It is symbolic of a sacrificial consecration. The bread is symbolic of the Word.

As in the time of preparation for Israel to escape from Egypt’s oppression, God is drawing His world into preparation for a miraculous outpouring of an end time magnitude of His Pentecost Spirit-power. We are leaving Egypt’s sufferings, plagues and death. God will use His chosen strategic servants for this time to give His lead and directives for protection against the deepening evil of the day. This ‘out of Egypt’ deliverance will restore Godly fear in the nations and reveal God’s chosen servants for this end time. (Exodus 4:31) It is imperative for our salvation that we engage in this sacred time of chastening. The spiritual cleansing of our vessels must be done in this sacred biblical timeframe being presented. The mark of the blood over the entrance of our hearts is the only covering we have in this end time. “Above all else , guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.” (Proverbs 4:23). Take care that you be spared the wrath to be poured out on the nations. For God’s Word is as a refiner’s fire to burn into the hearts of the people. His sword will be drawn to execute righteousness. (Revelation 2:16, Isaiah 11:4)

A New Order

I announce unequivocally, that Pentecost 2021 will not be the same as previous years when this sacred season would come and go without any meaningful significance of what the Pentecost power is really all about. 2021 will not be different because of the easing down of lockdowns in the nations as the new vaccines against COVID19 brings the people a measure of hope, to reopen societies, economies and national borders. It will be because God’s intervention in His world will be noticeably made known in this end time. By virtue of the healing and restoration mantle, the flow from under the threshold of the tabernacle will transform the spiritual atmosphere. It will be a new kingdom order.

Jesus our Paschal Lamb was slain for the sins of the world and His sacrifice was not done in vain. Recently, I heard in my spirit that all that was violently taken from me, denied me or limited my progress will be restored to me in an equally violent manner. In the spiritual realm I see a bloody scene reminiscent of Israel leaving Egypt. This victory will be for all those waiting on God’s deliverance. It is a sight to behold as did King Jehoshaphat on the slopes of the Valley of Beracah. A scene of utter devastation and ruin as God vindicates His people. Our guarding angels have engaged in a spiritual standoff against evil to give us the spoils from the long fight.

The Resurrection power is working for our good to release us from every captivity, bondage, oppression and evil strongholds. I was being Spirit-fed over this Passover season that when Jesus went into the realms of the dead He was not silent nor broken from the experiences at the cross. To the contrary, He eminently strode into the domains of evil and announced His Sovereign rule, power and authority by confiscating the keys over hell, death and the grave. These demonic forces would have writhed in anguish at the brilliant presence of our Lord. Uncomfortable and fearful they would have scattered 7 different ways. The demonic forces were laid bare, their powers taken and rendered subjugated to the power of our Lord. “And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.” (Matthew 28:18, KJV). He walked and traversed the corridors of the dead, casting down every portal and pillars of systemic evil and overturning every hidden works. He searched out the labyrinth of evil for the souls of vulnerable men to redeem them from the pit and give them a hope in His Resurrection power.

After Jesus’ glorious resurrection from the abode of the grave and hell, for about 40 days there were confirmed reports of Him being seen in many places. (Mark 16 9-11, Matthew 24:4-8, Luke 24:13-35) (Acts 2:1-47) He instructed His beloved disciples to prayerfully wait in the Upper Room for the Promise of His Father. That Promise today is of a #NEWPENTECOST, an end time magnitude of the Spirit power. It will reverberate across global borders into dispirited communities broken by sin. The efficacious power of the Spirit will transform, ignite, empower and mobilise the people into kingdom readiness. In this #NEWPENTECOST season of expectancy, our time, finances, abilities, gifts and resources will be ploughed willingly into the kingdom work to prepare our world for our Lord’s imminent return. Just as Israel willingly gave their silver, gold and fine tapestries, obtained from Egypt to the building of the new Mosaic tabernacle, so in this season of God’s power His people will be willing.

I am being fed in my spirit that those chosen servants, commissioned to nations will speak and pour forth under the influence of the Spirit in the mother-tongue of the people, so that they become recipients of the Testimony of Jesus. They shall hear the Good News of salvation in their native tongue from humble, chosen, unqualified servants with the heart of the Father. They shall pour forth from the high places of the earth that belongs to God. Every territory will come under the sway of the power of a #NEWPENTECOST outpouring, changing the spiritual atmosphere in the body of Christ and in every tribe and nation. It is the Lord’s doing and it is marvellous to behold. (19) “Behold, I am about to do something new; even now it is coming. Do you not see it? Indeed, I will make a way in the wilderness and streams in the desert. (20)The beasts of the field will honour Me, the jackals and the ostriches, because I provide water in the wilderness and rivers in the desert, to give drink to My chosen people. (21) The people I formed for Myself will declare My praise.” (Isaiah 43:19-21, BSB)

GWENDOLYN SMITH : #NEWPENTECOST.

PROPHECY – A TESTIMONY OF JESUS

PROPHECY – A TESTIMONY OF JESUS

Then John testified, “I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove and resting on Him. (John 1:32, BSB)

(8) “Be indebted to no one, except to one another in love. For he who loves his neighbour has fulfilled the law. (9) The commandments “Do not commit adultery,” “Do not murder,” “Do not steal,” “Do not covet,” and any other commandments ,are summed up in this one decree: “Love your neighbour as yourself.” (10) Love does no wrong to its neighbour. Therefore love is the fulfilment of the law. (Romans 13:8-10, BSB)

Throughout the scriptures the true servants of our Lord Jesus were lovers of the Word. Adherence to the Word set them apart, to be hated, mocked, cruelly treated and even killed for declaring the Testimony of Jesus. The apostles were faithful servants who would declare the Testimony of our Lord Jesus under persecution and reproach. The Testimony of Jesus is a message that will not be well received. It is a message that causes discomfort in the ears of those who despise our Lord. His servants are often alienated from the unbelieving people. It will even irritate and strengthen rebellion in those who profess themselves to be christians. One only needs to draw parallels with the experiences of our Lord amongst those who knew the law, being religious leaders serving in the temple in Jerusalem.

Revelation 11 – The Testimony of Jesus is the Spirit of Prophecy and the Spirit of Prophecy is the Testimony of Jesus. The two statements are by far the same. The prophecies recorded in the bible speaks of the Revelation of Jesus who was to come. Jesus is the written Word and He came, stood in the temple and declared Himself, the fulfilment of those early prophecies concerning His mandate. (16) “Then Jesus came to Nazareth, where He had been brought up. As was His custom, He entered the synagogue on the Sabbath. And when He stood up to read, (17) the scroll of the prophet Isaiah was handed to Him. Unrolling it, He found the place where it was written: (18) “The Spirit of the Lord is on Me, because He has anointed Me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent Me to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to release the oppressed,” (Luke 4:16-18, BSB. The proclamation was that the appointed time in God’s calendar had synchronised with earth’s timing of the Promise, the favour to mankind had come to fulfilment. The Saviour of the world was now standing in their midst in the temple, ready to begin the Commission upon His earthly life.

In this active prophetic season we are seeing many move into their God-given purposes. Yet, there are many more not understanding the prophetic ministry. Firstly, prophetic understanding comes through obedience to what the Spirit is revealing. The Spirit and the Word gives us eternal life to be joint-heirs with Jesus in the kingdom of God. The Spirit and the Word are in agreement with God because they are one in the Godhead. Now, in order to understand the Spirit of Prophecy you need to know Jesus. If you are having difficulty understanding the prophetic ministry or opposing the prophets, then it simply means that your understanding of Jesus is somewhat ambivalent. Like the religious leaders in Jerusalem you may be pouring scorn on the work of the prophetic remit by rejecting the servants being called to their prophetic office. You cannot slight this ministry without first slighting Jesus. The two are inextricably one in God. Also you cannot slight the prophets, mantled with the end time message without first slighting the Testimony of our Lord. The divine synergy of the Godhead is unequivocally Oneness. Jesus told the unbelieving Jews that no one can come to the Father except through Him. Therefore, you cannot negotiate and understand the prophetic ministry after rejecting the prophets. You will have missed the opportunity to know Jesus in His prophetic remit for this end time.

Where do we look for clarity on understanding the Spirit of Prophecy? Firstly, you look into the Word that is the face of the Person Jesus. To behold His laws and to measure your life against the Word, underpinned by His love is the key that gives access to prophetic understanding. Now you will say that you do all those things. Well, there is yet more required of you in the higher order in Jesus. Ask the Spirit! Go on, ask and He will reveal the shortfall in your works so that you can make heaven.

Love Underpins the Righteous Law

Relationships are at the heart of Jesus’ Ministry for fallen sinners to be reconciled back to the Father. In our relationship with Jesus we learn to be in a right relationship, first with God and then with our fellowmen. Love, obedience, forgiveness and repentance are therefore the all-essential kingdom qualities, integral to hearing from the Spirit of God. Yet love stands out as the beacon of light in the fulfilment of the law. The love of God, so amazing, so divine makes a demand upon us to encapsulate the entirety of our being, to be all we can spiritually be according to the Word. You cannot work against the Spirit that corrects and directs, be without love, flawed in your treatment of others and claim to be an advocate of the prophetic ministry. You will find that you are blocked from understanding this essential ministry. The prophecies of our Lord Jesus, the preaching of the Word and the prophesying of His Word are all testaments of Jesus’ Reconciliation Ministry. The reconciling attributes of grace are love, joy, peace, forgiveness etc. The opposing evil force in contrast is the dividing works of the adversary. This spirit is divisive to scatter the people of God, sowing seeds of discord. It is destructive rebellious and without love and compassion. Disobedience to what the Spirit is speaking is a heretic spirit since one is speaking of their own accord. They act without authority to speak on God’s behalf. Being dismissive of the ones God chooses is therefore a false spirit. It is a spirit that loves religion and form, the very spirit that Jesus loathed and warned His disciples against. “Therefore thus saith the LORD concerning the prophets that prophesy in my name, and I sent them not, yet they say, Sword and famine shall not be in this land; by sword and famine shall those prophets be consumed.” (Jeremiah 14:15).

The roots of dissent and discordance runs deeply in the systems of organisations. These strongholds strengthen when relational issues are not dealt with. Throughout the scriptures God shows Himself to be a relational Being. His love for His people was unconditional. Yet, they never failed to reveal themselves as serial adulterers to false gods.

It is now with a heavy heart that I announce that it appears the body of Christ has missed a strategic opportunity to align to the Spirit-led end time prophetic remit for this season. Clearly it was not packaged or presented in a manner the body of Christ has been accustomed to. The rejection of the end time prophets, now ready to emerge to their God-given platforms will be evident in this #NEWPENTECOST season. It would seem the body of Christ is not ready to take up the ‘Come With Me’ Invitation, aligned to Jesus’ call to be refreshed at the Festival of Booths in Jerusalem. “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, BSB). The Spirit-urged ‘Come With Me’ Invitation that I have been posting throughout 2020 in preparation for this #NEWPENTECOST season is now shifting into the fullness of the strategic healing mandate.

The Healing Flow

We are entering into the end time manifestations of our Lord’s miracles, signs and wonders. As the vivified state of the end time church becomes gloriously visible to the unbelieving world, the nations will flow effortlessly into the beautiful Elect body of Christ, as she makes herself ready for our Lord’s return. There will be a strategic and unified approach to the culminating of the kingdom work, unlike anything the current body of Christ will have ever seen or known. The ‘healing call’ to the fresh end time flow of the Water of Life is for those who will come and drink. The Water of Life trickling under the threshold of the temple has begun to flow out to the Arabah basins, oxygenating and refreshing the stagnant spiritual pools of water in the nations. “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. (8) And he said to me, “This water flows out to the eastern region and goes down into the Arabah. When it empties into the Sea, the water there becomes fresh. (9) Wherever the river flows, there will be swarms of living creatures and a great number of fish, because it flows there and makes the waters fresh; so wherever the river flows, everything will flourish.” (Ezekiel 47:1,8-9, BSB)

I am in no doubt that we are in the final 7 years of the Rapture taking place. How do I know this? By virtue of this strategic prophetic call I have painful birthed for this season. It has been a no. 7 mandate. Throughout the last 10 years of the wilderness testings, preparing and establishing the call, the Spirit has revealed everything in the numeral 7. There has been so many revealings of this number as I went through my journey. The number 7 is completion and one of the perfect sets of numbers. Since 2019, along with the number 7, the numbers 111 have been Spirit-given to me as my number in preparation of the call. 111 is a substantial presence of the Godhead. The Spirit made it known to me that a substantial presence of the Godhead abides with me for this end time call to the nations.

I am now waiting in the wings, ready to execute this strategic global call when the green light is given.

GWENDOLYN SMITH : #NEWPENTECOST : 4 JANUARY 2021

A NEW PENTECOST

#NEWPENTECOST

(17) “In the last days, God says, I will pour out My Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams. (18) Even on My menservants and maidservants I will pour out My Spirit in those days, and they will prophesy.(19) I will show wonders in the heavens above and signs on the earth below, blood and fire and billows of smoke. (20)The sun will be turned to darkness, and the moon to blood, before the coming of the great and glorious Day of the Lord. (21) And everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” (Acts 2:17-21, BSB)

Jesus our Paschal Lamb was slain for the sins of the world. After His resurrection for about 40 days there were confirmed reports of Him being seen in many places around Jerusalem. “After His suffering, He presented Himself to them with many convincing proofs that He was alive. He appeared to them over a span of forty days and spoke about the kingdom of God.” (Acts 1:4-5, BSB). (Jesus’ sightings are further recorded in Mark 16 9-11, Matthew 24:4-8, Luke 24:13-35) The buzz of excitement amongst His followers would have been electric, no doubt pervading the heightened post-resurrection atmosphere. On the Emmaus road, two disciples discoursed about the unfolding rapturous events occurring in Jerusalem that our Lord had risen from the dead. Jesus’ self-revelation as He drew near them caused them to later exclaim, ‘Did not our hearts burn within us’, as the hope of His resurrecting power rose in their yet anxiously troubled hearts. (Luke 24:32).

On one of those eye witness appearances, Jesus told His faithful disciples to remain in Jerusalem and await the promise of the Father. “And while they were gathered together, He commanded them: “Do not leave Jerusalem, but wait for the gift the Father promised, which you have heard Me discuss. (Acts 1:4). It was promised that the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of Truth would come from above and settle upon them. (Luke 24:49). The disciples earnestly kept faith as they prayed in the Upper Room, anticipating the miraculous occurrence of the Spirit coming upon them, as instructed by their Lord. (Acts 1:12-13). The Pentecost phenomena would happen at a ‘kairos’ moment when God’s eternal calendar met with earth’s calendar. God’s timing of the prophecy spoken by Joel, some 800 years early was now imminent to come into timely fulfilment. The outpouring of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost would be a significant prophetic juncture, marking the cessation of the Old Mosaic Order that was weak in that it could not keep the Israelites from sinning. The power released under the New Covenant of Jesus superseded that which served as a signpost to Him.

The yearly Feast of Unleavened Bread would therefore bring the many visiting religious Jews into witnessing the first outpouring of the New Pentecost experience. These scholars of the Rabbinical law would have known about the prophet Joel’s word, written in the Torah. However, as regular festival worshippers, since Israel was delivered out of Egypt, they would most certainly not have connected the prophecy of Joel with the unfolding events. Observance of this New Pentecost outpouring was intentional. It was intended as a Testimony of Jesus to persuade those who had travelled into Jerusalem for the annual festive season.

Annually, Jerusalem at the time of Pentecost would be teeming with many Jews. These are religiously devout men who would converge in this central location from different nations. It was therefore no coincidence that they should be present in Jerusalem to have first-hand experience, witnessing the Pentecost occurrence under the New Covenant of our Lord. When the Spirit came down on the believers I believe they would lave left the Upper Room chamber, under a compelling urge moving out into the cobbled dusty streets to proclaim the Testimony of Jesus. Under the influence of the ‘dunamis’ power they spoke in the diverse languages of the visiting Jewish Rabbis. These learnt men were amazed that these humble Galileans were speaking in their respective native tongue. It was a phenomenal outpouring of power and empowerment to spread the Good News to the unbelieving world outside of Jerusalem. (Acts 2:1-47)

The disciples were speaking in the native tongues of the visiting rabbis to bring edification. They were prophesying, a Spirit-urged narrative to bring exhortation and understanding to those unbelievers captivated by the spiritual phenomena. The disciples, ordinary folks would be empowered, authorised with the infilling power of the Holy Spirit to boldly bear witness of the Testimony of Jesus, the Risen Lord. The Testimony of Jesus would always arouse fear and disdain for truth in the corrupt hearts of fallen men. The spirit against the Testimony of Jesus seeks to muzzle the servants commissioned and empowered to speak what the Spirit is revealing. The mantle upon them will always be releasing, healing, delivering and restoring bringing broken lives back to wholeness. The Word that comes under attack is the word that can break the resisting and oppressive works of the adversary. The audacious rebellious spirits against the release of the healing Word are ancient scornful divergent forces intent on moving vulnerable souls out of God’s will. But, those empowered with the Pentecost power will declare the Testimony of Jesus under a forceful uncompromising mantle of grace. It was this Pentecost power that infused the apostles as they eventually left Jerusalem, the city that kills the prophets to evangelise the Gentile nations after Jesus’ glorious departure from the earth. “O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, who kills the prophets and stones those sent to her, how often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were unwilling!” (Matthews 23:37, BSB)

The disbelief of the Jews and their refusal of Jesus’ Reconciliation Ministry would serve to disperse and scatter the apostles in the Gentile nations. (4) “Every Sabbath he reasoned in the synagogue, trying to persuade Jews and Greeks alike. “ (5) And when Silas and Timothy came down from Macedonia, Paul devoted himself fully to the word, testifying to the Jews that Jesus is the Christ. (6) But when they opposed and insulted him, he shook out his garments and told them, “Your blood be on your own heads! I am innocent of it. From now on I will go to the Gentiles.” (Acts 18:4-6, BSB). Clearly, at every opportunity the eager religious leaders sought to put a stop to the spreading of the Word. It was Gamaliel, a well respected authority within the Sanhedrian Council who cited the historical outcomes of those who proceeded to kill God’s servants for preaching the Testimony of Truth. Gamaliel’s word of caution and wisdom staved off the destruction of Paul and Silas as the Pharisees sought to kill them. “At this, they yielded to Gamaliel. They called the apostles in and had them flogged. Then they ordered them not to speak in the name of Jesus, and released them.” (Acts 5:40, BSB). Paul and Silas on their missionary journeys, passing through Greece visited Thessalonica, and as was customary they entered the synagogue to discourse the Word, the Testimony of Jesus. “Some of the Jews were persuaded and joined Paul and Silas, along with a large number of God-fearing Greeks and quite a few leading women.” (Acts 17:4. BSB).

Clearly the Word is forceful to ejaculate into the receptive hearts of men. For the role of the Spirit is to woo men into an intimate and loving relationship with the Lord Jesus. The Spirit moves over the face of our inner spiritual deep to prepare the heart for the Word. The Spirit and the Word are one to give new spiritual life. Hence why the Word is sometimes referred to as the ‘spermatic’ Word. “The Spirit gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words I have spoken to you are spirit and they are life.” (John 6:63), BSB)

A #NEWPENTECOST

The time is set for a repeat of that phenomenal occurrence that took place about 1,992 years ago. The watching world will be seeing what is reminiscent of Jerusalem at that momentous time of Jesus’ departure to heaven. In the ascension of our Lord, the Holy Spirit would descend upon His disciples in the most intimately convincing manner. The internet has made it possible that we can witness this end time phenomenal outpouring just as the visiting Jews observed in those early days in Jerusalem. Whatever God will do now will reach into earnestly seeking, longing hearts. It will be awesome and fearful. “Be silent before the LORD, all people, for He has roused Himself from His holy dwelling.” (Zechariah 2:13)

It was in 2015 whilst under a strong prophetic anointing to write that I was Spirit-urged that a New Pentecost was coming to the world. In 2020 after Pentecost/Shavuot I began to witness the prophetic mantle beginning to align things to a New Pentecost season. This year 2021, I truly believe we will see the fulness of that word given in 2015 taking place. Since going through this awesome timely and compelling prophetic journey, I have observed over a few years that God always gives me new instructions during Passover week through to Pentecost /Shavuot, This year 2021 will be no exception. I await my new instructions as we approach Holy Week.

OH GETHSEMANE, GETHSEMANE!

OH GETHSEMANE , GETHSEMANE! ©️

Oh Gethsemane, Gethsemane – place of our healing, deliverance and breakthroughs
Beautiful scenic garden, lush with olive groves, paths of tranquility and peace;

In our fragile humanity the purpose of Our Lord’s suffering is revealed.

Oh Gethsemane, Gethsemane – place of our blessings where Jesus in His sorrowing state
travailed over our healing. Suffering Servant – a pitiful figure of a man. In His love
and compassion He raised up marred broken vessels, discarded rejects on life’s dump heap.
Oh Gethsemane, Gethsemane – scented garden abundant in olives, symbolic of Our Lord
profusely burdened on His knees pressing through the veil of sorrow.


.
Oh Gethsemane, Gethsemane, beautiful garden – The tears of Our Lord, poured out
in your nooks and crannies. He broke the strength of evil designed to destroy vulnerable souls;
Our Lord pressed into the spiritual deep and prevailed over the works of evil.
Oh Gethsemane, Gethsemane! – verdant groves of olives trees –
a dichotomy of joy, peace, pain and suffering.
Gethsemane, the place where the ‘Balm of Gilead’ pressed through the veil for our healing.

Please note:  This Communion Plan will help you to approach a personal and intimate time of Communion.  It must only be partaken of through a confession of faith.  It is not for those who are not born again.  “So then, whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of sinning against the body and blood of the Lord.” (1 Corinthians 11:27)


There are no set ways to do this Communion.  This is how I would approach a personal or small group observance.  It works for me.  Just follow Jesus’ example from the above Plan, it is very clear. The most important thing is the condition of the heart. “Everyone ought to examine themselves before they eat of the bread and drink from the cup.” (1 Corinthians 11:28)

WEALTH TRANSFERENCE IS HERE!

WEALTH TRANSFERENCE IS HERE

It is important for the people of God to have a spiritual understanding of the ways in which God works to bring about His divine purposes. As I busily prepare for the approaching Passover Week 2021 leading into Pentecost Shavuot, in anticipation I am sensing and feeling the stirring of the healing mantle. So much so that I breakdown in tears at the joy to unfold in a longing hurting world. Sadly, I have come to realise that the body of Christ is oblivious to the next impending move of God. It would seem that these timely Spirit-urged announcements have gone forth, unheeded as religion continues to block the spiritual eyes of many. It appears that the timely Spirit-led announcements have not come ‘packaged’ in a manner that is recognised, so they are slighted, overlooked and rejected.

Under the strategic leader of Moses God’s chosen servant, the children of Israel would be led out of slavery. God-directed instructions were given how to leave Egypt’s broken system. It was a pivotal moment in the history of this displaced nation. A dispirited people fatigued and fractured under oppression. They humbly prepared to make the timely move under the auspices of a loving God. Divine favour would be afforded them. God made a distinction between His people and the Egyptians by protecting them from the destroying Angel that would move through the land with terrifying consequences. The blood covering was the mark of distinction. Without the blood mark over a house even the Israelites were subject to being destroyed. Obedience to the timely God-given strategic instructions issued by Moses to leave Egypt, was the key to mitigate the unfolding events. “Surely the Sovereign LORD does nothing without revealing his plan to his servants the prophets.” (Amos 3:7, NIV).

Like Israel the desert church, in this end time obedience to God-given instructions to the strategic chosen servant of God will bring protection and save the contemporary church from the impending destruction. I implore that we are ‘coming out of Egypt’. I call on the people of God to obey the designated end time chosen servants of God. Reminiscent to the biblical exodus, we are moving out from one system into another system, a New Order is coming. Take heed not to miss heaven’s ‘window of opportunity’ now being presented to take the wealth from the corrupt system that unleashed injustice, financial discrimination upon the children of the generation of slaves and many others, globally living their lives rooted in abject poverty. The back of systemic oppressive evil, perpetrated through the stigmata of slavery is being crushed, broken and decimated in the spirit realm. God’s reparative means of justice to His beloved people is now being played out before our very eyes. The gold and silver of Egypt is being transferred to the poor and needy through a New Order of working and doing business on blockchain trading platforms. Do not miss this moment of divine favour given to leave this place of poverty and wealth denial by a biased unjust system.

‘Come With Me’ Invitation

During Passover Week 2020 I was Spirit-led to put out a ‘Come With Me’ Invitation urging the people of God to follow me as I follow Christ. “Imitate me, just as I also imitate Christ.” (1 Corinthians 11:1, KJV). As I followed through with the demands being made of me into Pentecost, in prayerful contrition I interceded for the failure in the body of Christ to recognise where the Spirit is leading in this end time. I continued with the prayer vigil into Yom Kippor and then into Sukkot observance later that year. I was then given further instructions over that season of prayer, regarding the Invitation of Jesus at the Feast of Tabernacle when He stood up at the great feast and cried out to the religious worshippers to ‘Come and Drink of Me’. “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, BSB). I was fed in my spirit that the invitation I received earlier in the year during Passover week had now shifted into an end time call to the nations to receive the Living Water as stated in John 7:37.

Again, during Pentecost/Shavuot 2020, at the heights of the global woes of the raging pandemic, I was Spirit-led to put out a Prayer Plan with 7 Keys to obtaining the blessings of favour in departing the system of Egypt. Those who have participated in the timely Spirit revealing directions being given me, were instructed to pray for wealth transference. (35) “The people of Israel had also done as Moses told them, for they had asked the Egyptians for silver and gold jewellery and for clothing. (36) And the LORD had given the people favour in the sight of the Egyptians, so that they let them have what they asked. Thus they plundered the Egyptians.” (Exodus 12:35-36, ESV). I hereby announce that the time is NOW to align to this wealth transference call as we leave the world’s broken system. It will be obedience to follow the Spirit-leading of the servant that God has chosen and instructed to speak as His oracle in this end time that will secure the spoils from the long fight. The continuation of the ‘Come With Me’ Invitation is here given to escape the destruction of Egypt by obeying the instructions to receive the provisions made available to exist beyond Egypt. I reiterate that obedience is the key to your deliverance out of this place of captivity, chaos and ruin.

Since Passover 2020, the timely developments to the initial ‘Come With Me’ Invitation have continued to reveal unfolding scriptural directives to where the Spirit is leading. These Spirit-urged updates have been aligned to the Jewish festivals over the 2020 year. I hereby warn the body of Christ to take heed as we are now approaching Passover 2021. Since Sukkot 2021 (October 2020) the ‘Come With Me’ Invitation has now been aligned to the imminent healing flow to the nations. “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). This end time healing and restoration call is now aligned to flow from under the threshold of the tabernacle. (8) “And he said to me, “This water flows out to the eastern region and goes down into the Arabah. When it empties into the Sea, the water there becomes fresh.” (9) “Wherever the river flows, there will be swarms of living creatures and a great number of fish, because it flows there and makes the waters fresh; so wherever the river flows, everything will flourish.” (Ezekiel 47:8-9, BSB). The release of this end time healing mantle will become evident as we approach a #New Pentecost 2021.

As we now approach Passover 2021, this is the time when our dear Lord imparts new instructions to me. Based on the Ecclesiastes calendar I see God’s unfolding power as He continues to lead me into the fullness of the end time call to the nations. This weighty healing mantle will bring restoration of the apostle’s work in Asia Minor and the healing of the persecuted christians in the nations. It is also for the current body of Christ to align to the Spirit-move of a unified strategic approach to culminating the end time work.

RESTORATION AND HEALING IN THE LAND

A MANTLE FOR RESTORATION AND HEALING IN THE NATIONS

(1) “When Solomon had finished praying, fire came down from heaven and consumed the burnt offering and the sacrifices, and the glory of the LORD filled the temple. (16) For I have now chosen and consecrated this temple so that My Name may be there forever. My eyes and My heart will be there for all time.” (2 Chronicles 7:1,16, BSB)

I woke this morning being led by the Spirit to issue a declaration announcing the imminent destruction of the old order. The old order represents all that has existed to this current time. There is atmospheric shift as our world is ushered into God’s New Order. It was in 2015 when the Spirit revealed to me, in a season of a strong prophetic anointing to write, that a New Order was coming. I did not know when the process to this New Order would take place but during that year, under that compelling mantling of writing I was fed by the Spirit of a New Pentecost coming to the world. What I did not understand, until 2020, was the scale of the changes and shifts that would occur in our world to bring about the will of God. Indeed, it escaped me that the word of a New Order was integral to the word the Spirit fed me also in 2015 of God giving me an ‘out of Egypt’ deliverance. The salient question is, ‘Why would God give me such an epic deliverance before the watching world?’

For sure, the journey I have come has been painfully public, isolating and misunderstood. Yet, in the presence of my Lord it has been awesome, and fearfully humbling. God has personally revealed aspects of His determinate will to release His sheep that are not yet in His fold. This strategic healing and restoration vision for nations that He has call me too will be the jewel in His crown. The remnant from the early apostles’ work, having continued to push through the hard soil of religious persecution and spiritual isolation have suffered because they love Jesus. Not fully understanding the word of God they have continued to belief that they are the spiritual descendants of the apostle’s work in Asian Minor. From what God has revealed to me over time, coupled with the word given to me in the winter of 2011, ‘I want you to establish it in a conference in the place of the 7-fold churches’, I believe it too.

My mandate is to release God’s people in the nations through an end time anointing potent to destroy and bring to ruin every demonic interference. The Spirit is leading many out of the clutches of spiritual captivity from non-traditional christian entities who have been under religious and ethnic persecution. I am assured of the substantial presence of the Godhead that moves with me. God’s protection has been endearing, reassuring and demonstrably potent to keep me from the evil intent to destroy me. His peace has been next to none and the quiet nurturing love displayed by a loving Father can only be likened to a young child being fed on the warm breast of a doting mother in tender love and quietness. Such love to inspire confidence and affirm approval of His servant, even when disgraced, abandoned, rejected and slighted by the mass. The negative behavioural traits portrayed by those consumed by religion, pride and self righteousness have not moved me from pursuing this strategic vision, carrying nations in my womb.

I announce, let God be true and all men be liars because a prophetic call takes time to come to fruition. Religion says get it out quick, do it in the way things have always been done so we can understand what you are doing and align to it. The things that gives God the glory are a long time in the fire, not appreciated and approved by men. Isolation for a prophet’s mantle is an inevitable consequence of the process of training under the auspices of God who calls you to service. You are left in no doubt about your call. I can now seen why everyone including my loved ones were removed from me. The enemy used anyone made available to take a ‘chunk’ out of me. It was an experiential journey that revealed the inner most thoughts, intent and motives of every one.

Setting aside the disappointment I have felt towards many of God’s people and the inconveniences experienced on this long and exhausting journey, I see by faith, the victory. This 7-fold mantle that exposes and disturbs the entities of life has been at work, I first witnessed the dismantling of the church I left after the leadership rose up against me. In a dream it was revealed that the prophetic mantle stirred that church and continued to move across the entities of life. It is a serious strategic prophetic mantle that leaves no stones unturned. I can confirm this day that God has watched over my pain and the prayers for my enemies. The shabby treatment from a church community that lied on me and after 10 years cannot say sorry has not gone unnoticed by God. His timing of the vindication promised is imminent and it will be witnessed by the sons of men. This word given to me in 2013 is about to come to pass “Thy righteous shall be as light and they justice as the noonday” (Psalms 37:6).

The fire of God descended upon the national sacrifice that King Solomon prepared. It caused the people to bow with their faces to the ground. The glory of God filled the tabernacle and would have lingered heavily in the atmosphere. The dedication of the temple was pleasing to the Lord and His glory came down impressively. The temple was the place that God chose to dwell with man at that time in Israel’s history. God now chooses to dwell in the temple of the heart, made possible through our Lord Jesus. God requires His people to be true to the covenant relationship He has established with them. There are spiritual conditions to be met in order that the land be healed and the glory is given to God. The spiritual keys to unlock the favour of God to act on our behalf is guaranteed if we will but humble ourselves and do right by God’s people. The fire of God will come down and consume the pleasing sacrifice of a penitent devoted heart, in a manner and time that gives glory to His name.

111 IS MY NUMBER

111 IS MY NUMBER

What I tell you in the dark, speak in the daylight; what is whispered in your ear, proclaim from the housetops. (Matthew 10:27, BSB)

I was given a prophetic word sometime ago that 111 is written all over me. In time the Spirit would confirm this word in a scriptural or convincing manner that supports the key aspects of this extraordinary strategic prophetic healing call.. The number 1 represents the Godhead. The number 3 is one of the perfect groups of numbers and indicates a substantial measure. In this case, the Spirit revealed that 111 is a substantial presence of the Godhead abiding with me for the call. I have no doubt concerning this as I have witnessed first hand God’s protective presence in great measure when heaven’s assistance is required. It is indeed reassuring and yet humbling.

These are the Spirit-breathed scriptural references that have been impressed upon me concerning this prophetic call and 111 being my number:-

A PROPHETIC CALL TO THE NATIONS

(Jeremiah 1:11) “The word of the LORD came to me: “What do you see, Jeremiah?” “I see the branch of an almond tree,” I replied.’
My number 111 came up in the book of Jeremiah in the very early years of my call as I entered a dark period of the wilderness journey. God instructed me that He had called me as a prophet to the nations to cast down, root up, pull down and destroy; to establish and build. I had no idea how demanding the word given would bear out in my life. The hardy almond plant is likened to the Word of God that hasten to bring forth fruit. Like Aaron’s rod, the hasten Word will bud, blossom, flower and fruit with rapidity to execute the will of God. It would be an extenuating experience waiting on God that would challenge and test every aspect of my being and life. To hold onto a word from God evokes a response from the realm of evil, with merciless intent. Dependency on the durable cogent word, in time, would built confidence in hearing and knowing the voice of God, above all other well intentioned voices. What seems like delay is an intentional move of God to get the glory as the enemy is given time to make a real ‘pig’s ear’ of a situation. After a season of demonic confusion, chaos and ruin no one can doubt the next move of God concerning the prophetic word given.

FAITH: “Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen’ (Hebrews 11:1)
One morning I woke from sleep declaring this verse. When I checked the scripture it was Hebrews 11:1. My 111 number had come up for FAITH. This word came after I learnt of a situation pertaining to the call that reached a deadlock, seeming hopeless. The way I received that word characterised the manner in which God met my needs at those low moments of the journey. His beautiful gestures, fatherly love and timely reassurances are incredibly amazing. Really! The entirety of my prophetic journey has been the substance of faith. I have had to endure painful testings in isolation as I wait on God for the evidence of my faith becoming sight. My experiential walk has required me, in a very conspicuous manner to stand on life’s precarious cliff face of faith. Like the surefooted mountain goat, I have had to endure the stormy variables of life, gripping the harsh rocky terrains of faith on an exposed slope of intense public recriminations. This level of testing can be seen in the likes of Noah and patriots of the faith. It is always for the salvation of nations, even if the message goes unheeded. ‘Surely the Lord GOD does nothing without revealing His plan to His servants the prophets’ (Amos 3:7, BSB)

‘COME WITH ME’ INVITATION: 1 Corinthians 1:11

‘Follow me as I follow Christ’ (1 Corinthians 1:11.)
111 came up yet again when I was instructed to prepare a ‘Come With Me’ Invitation during Passover week 2020. As I worked on it I heard in my spirit, ‘Follow me as I follow Christ’. I knew immediately that it was the scripture given for the invitation. I checked the scripture and it was 1 Corinthians 1:11. Amazing! Really! Immediately the Spirit brought back to me the vision I had as a child on a few occasions of me flying through the sky over mountains and hills playing a flute. As I moved through the atmosphere, looking behind me I witnessed a great throng of people from all nations following me. They were singing, praising and laughing with joy as we soared through the cloudless skies above the earth. Every time I looked back they just kept coming, coming, coming over the distant horizon. It was electric! From those early childhood memories, I often referred to it as ‘The Pied Piper of Hamlin’ vision. The Spirit further linked the ‘Come With Me’ Invitation to Jesus’ call to those who are longing for a refreshing of the Living Water in John 7:37. “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.”.

7-FOLD CHURCHES OF ASIA MINOR REVELATION:
(Revelation 1:11) “Write on a scroll what you see and send it to the seven churches: to Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia, and Laodicea”
During my time of prayer and contrition over the season of Rosh Hashanah (2021) and Yom Kippor, I felt led in my spirit to read Revelation 1. I lingered over the reference made of the ‘Revelation of Jesus’ in verse 1. As I continued reading, I was halted at verse 11. My spirit received that this verse, Revelation 1:11 was integral to my prophetic call. “Write on a scroll what you see and send it to the seven churches: to Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia, and Laodicea.” I knew immediately what the Spirit was conveying to me. My number 111 had surfaced again. A reference was being Spirit-fed to me. It was linked to the revelation given to me in the winter of 2012, ‘I want you to establish it in a conference in the place of the 7-fold churches’. I was struck with awe as the Spirit brought the vision for Turkey back to me and linked it to my number 111.

NHS HOTLINE 111: Finally, recently I was watching the news regarding the government’s updated response in the UK to the pandemic. NHS 111 was the new hotline number. The reference to the 111 National Health Service number is no coincidence as 111 is my number for the prophetic end time healing ministry.

A Beautiful Soul

A VIGNETTE OF A BEAUTIFUL SOUL ©️

Hidden behind facial expressions the telling journey of a human life is unmasked.
An experiential footprint of joy and sadness, hope and despair, love and hate. Pain and healing, fear and stoicism, loss and recovery. An inner archive of indelibly rich emotions. Every tear of triumph and failure is etched deeply in facial expressions.Emotions perfectly fused to harmonise with deepening facial lines and creases. An unread life-journal of a beautiful soul.

Soft folds of aged-loosening skin, gracefully harmonised with time, giving credence to a life lived. An experiential life-journey – often fraught with facets of competing emotions, challenges coupled with reservoirs of inner strength. An epitome of courage and hope rises against all the unfair odds. The deeper the contorting lines and creases, the more poignant the polarity of emotions on the spectrum of life. A nuanced look, a searching stare, a meditative posture, a deep sigh, unspoken mental narratives? They all give voice, penning the inner life journal. Noting an intrinsic record of the emotionally steep learning curves, of personal struggles and triumphs. An intrinsic worth of a beautiful soul.

Yet, the enduring mercies of God shines through age-old facial expressions. His mercies speaks of love, joy and forgiveness released through His faithful promises. His divine comfort and peace softens the deeply furrowed lines and scars. A forgiving heart removes the pains and hurts imprinted on life’s memory file. In the face of our Lord, His radiance lifts those contours of deep negative expressions. Lightening the intensity of inner focus to reveal the resolute character of the hidden being. An enigma of a beautiful soul.
