The gospel is to be followed and obeyed — at any expense!

If you first want comfort and personal security before following Jesus, go and re-read the story of the rich young man and understand that God calls us out of our own position of strength and security, so we may rest squarely and entirety upon Him and upon His ability to provide, sponsor and undergird that which He calls us to.

If you rely on money to enable the preaching of The Gospel, you have failed the test before you ever took the exam!

*+++*+++*+++*+++*++*+++*

God’s school calls us to be formed for ministry through the tests we will endure.

Money, comfort and security is Satan’s ‘bail-out’ plan to offer ease and with it comes the sacrifice of laying what we could only be taught in the school of hardship and faith, on the altar of security and ease.

Read Luke 4 attentively!

The greatest lie that has ever been told by Satan is the lie he confronted Jesus with on the mountain.

The lie that you need more than God to be successful in seeing His Will established through you on earth!

*+++*+++*+++*+++*++*+++*

There is no ‘arm of flesh’ that will ever be able to assist my God in performing His Will on earth!

He is self sufficient and sustains His Servants through humble willing hearts and through miracles!

*+++*+++*+++*+++*++*+++*

Share your story – never teach it!

Each one has their own unique journey which they have to travel along with Christ. We learn from Jesus and we follow His Spirit as He leads us in our own unique way.

We never teach anything He did not teach.

We live our lives extended from the foundation of His Teaching, both in person and by His Spirit through the foundation laid by the apostles.

Teaching your life story to others and guiding them to believe that it is the way for them to follow also, is misleading them.

We point all men to Christ as the standard and we hold to His Teachings as faithful stewards of His Kingdom.

Peter was kept in the heart of the prison to ensure that he did not escape — he was kept in deep prison.

This morning I heard the Holy Spirit speak these words to my ears … “Deep Prison!”

I hear The LORD saying that there are many of His sons who are presently kept in the grip of a deep religious prison — a place where they were never meant to be at home, a place that, as with the belly of fish that swallowed Jonah, was not made to keep them — who are about to be released by the Angel of God and spewed out by the keepers of the religious guard!

“Many of My sons are coming forth from their state of imprisonment.

Many will be Supernaturally released!

Some will not even realise what is happening, thinking that they must be dreaming, and yet will discover themselves knocking on the doors of new seasons where others have been joined together to worship, and there will be great joy among their brothers in receiving them!”

*+++*+++*+++*+++*++*+++*

A season for the ‘hearing‘.

A time for the ‘seeing‘!

“Let him who have ears hear what The Spirit is saying…”
