A Prayer

Dear Father, we thank you for Your Amazing Grace, for Your Love and for choosing that we could have a relationship with You.

Thank You for sending Jesus. Thank You for opening the Door through Him that we could enter into a living relationship and walk with You.

Thank you for sharing Your precious Spirit with us. Thank You Dear Holy Spirit for being in us and being One with us.

May each one in this group grow to Love You more deeply every day.

May we come to know You more intimately and come to understand you more clearly, may we see through enlightened eyes and may we constantly be changed and transformed by what we behold.

We live to Love and to know You, keep us firmly and deeply rooted in You and guide our footsteps as you secure us in Your Truth.

The Presence

Over the years that I have spent with God, and also in times during my ministry, there have been several occasions when the Divine Energy and Presence of God would be so overwhelming within me, that it would feel as though I was literally on fire.

The reality of these times would be so intense that I would break out in perspiration and when being in my room, would need to remove most of my clothing (many times in the heart of winter), to cool my body down.

During times of ministry I would be so soaking wet that it would seem as I had taken a shower with my clothes on.

Today this same fire still burns with similar intensity, and I find it more so in the passion of my life’s pursuit and destiny, that is to bring people into a Living Experience with God where they would experience His reality in a meaningful living way, in being united with His Spirit.

Destiny and Position

Without knowing — and boldly affirming —our destiny, we cannot walk in it.

It takes courage. The kind of courage that dares to say what others may find offensive.

That refuses to leave sacred truth buried in silence simply because it makes others uncomfortable.

No, we cannot remain silent. We must rise, take ownership of our calling, and declare it without apology.

Even Jesus, fully aware of His destiny and position, had to speak it aloud.

He declared His Sonship publicly, fully embracing the offence it caused. He did not whisper it. He owned it — and with that, He drank the cup of rejection.

This is how we die to ourselves. This is how we give ourselves completely to the purpose seeded in us by the Divine.

This is how we sell out to God — knowing that offence may be the cup we are handed, and yet choosing to drink it anyway.

In the end, we are not sent to conform. We are sent to ignite. To disrupt. To bring radical transformation and shine unrelenting Light into darkened realms.

“Blessed is the one who is not offended because of Me.” Matthew 11:6.

— That is where we leave it…..

When You Stand in Your Calling With God

When you stand in your calling with God, you do not stand as two — but as One.

It is not you and God. It is God in you.

You do not speak as a second voice — you speak as the Voice, the expression of His Spirit.

You no longer identify with the flesh.

You are one with the Spirit.

This is why Jesus, the Son — the Firstborn among many brethren — could say, “I and the Father are One.”

And this is why we, His brethren, the Sons who have been redeemed, are also One with the Father.

Not as natural men trying to equal Jesus, but as Spiritual Sons, in perfect Union and alignment with the Father and the Son — by being One with the Spirit.

We are One with God.

We are family.

There is no more separation. Only Union remains.

Now let the Spirit within you renew your understanding — and bring deep Peace to your heart.
