our battle

12 For we are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places. Ephesians 6:12 NLT https://bible.com/bible/116/eph.6.12.NLT I am watching my country at war with COVID and preparing for war with China.  I can see why the US and Australia may not be there for Israel in its coming war with Iran, Russia and co. We will be kept occupied. (Just my opinion) In 1987 the Lord gave me a vision and a prophetic word for The Australian Church. Because of complacency and unwillingness to come to the Lord to be made ready for Him, our country would be attacked from the north. I remember st the time of the vision we were having problems with Indonesia. Now a bigger bully has arisen. I sense in my Spirit that things are coming to a head. I pray daily for the kingdom of God to come to earth. I believe the Lord is coming soon. Come Lord Jesus! Amen!

who is the enemy?

12 For we are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places. Ephesians 6:12 NLT https://bible.com/bible/116/eph.6.12.NLT We spend too much time fighting those we can see, to not see the troublemakers at work who are laughing at us. In the process we continue to walk in the flesh and fail to produce the fruit of the spirit in our lives. I listened to a good message by Kris Valloten yesterday. Now, even mentioning his name will bring out the knives? Why? Because people are fighting flesh and blood. What does God want? His bride who is pure and walking in the Spirit.  I would not return for a nasty, spiteful, contentious bride who hates her brothers and sisters. I would look for one who knows my heart, and exhibits my love . Have mercy Lord!

word power

11 It is the same with my word. I send it out, and it always produces fruit. It will accomplish all I want it to, and it will prosper everywhere I send it. Isaiah 55:11 NLT https://bible.com/bible/116/isa.55.11.NLT Words are powerful. We can lift up and destroy with them. We can release power with words of prayer. Intercession is the heart of Christ. He sits at the right had of God the Father making intercession for us.  If He sees them powerful, surely we can.  Prayers asking for opportunities to share Christ are answered quickly. Today I prayed such a prayer and was answered, yesterday I prayed such a prayer and was answered. God wants us to speak His word so He can add His power to it. Speaking positive, godly and uplifting words are honoured with life. Choose to be a powerful word speaker. Amen! Speak Life!

11 It is the same with my word. I send it out, and it always produces fruit. It will accomplish all I want it to, and it will prosper everywhere I send it. Isaiah 55:11 NLT https://bible.com/bible/116/isa.55.11.NLT Daily I share a scripture on my Facebook page, praying it will touch the right person. This passage encourages me. God's word never returns empty, we just don't know it's intended fruit. Yesterday I was praying for an opportunity in my uni groups, and the Lord provided. We can trust Him to open the right doors. The power of the word is immense, by faith in it many come to Christ, are healed and delivered. We need to live in the word, immerse ourselves in it and be changed by it. Amen All scripture is powerful.

work hard

15 Work hard so you can present yourself to God and receive his approval. Be a good worker, one who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly explains the word of truth. 2 Timothy 2:15 NLT https://bible.com/bible/116/2ti.2.15.NLT Today I received an email from a friend who is studying an Indian language so that he can go to India as a missionary. He was describing the battle he constantly has in learning the language. There is also a woman in our church at uni in Western Sydney learning Arabic so that she can go to Egypt as a missionary. I have an Arabic speaking man in my uni class and he tells of the difficulties present in the Arabic language. I can imagine she is also being stretched. My friend Bruce said he must diligently apply himself daily or he slips back. I would agree with him. As a Christian we cannot take a holiday from following Christ. What we read, watch and do are important in maintaining our spirits. We have to present outselves to God. What would He say if He tur...

wash your garments

15 Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who doesn’t need to be ashamed, correctly teaching the word of truth. 2 Timothy 2:15 HCSB https://bible.com/bible/72/2ti.2.15.HCSB One of Paul's biggest problems in the New Testament Church was the abundance of false teachers. Whilst he was away the wolves would prey. We know they were real because in the book of Revelation Jesus addresses heresies in the churches in Asia. As we prepared for the retun of Christ we cannot afford to be waylaid by false doctrines. The false doctrines we see addressed in the bible are usually carnal in nature, often sexual. When in ministry in the 90s we were told the three biggest problems were: power, prosperity and pretty girls. Nothing much has changed there, however I see a large group of people standing up to our Prime Minister, disrespectfully telling him where to go, over vaccines. I have never seen such disrespect from the church. I took one friend of mine to task for his negative an...

57 But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ! 1 Corinthians 15:57 HCSB https://bible.com/bible/72/1co.15.57.HCSB I have been watching the Paralympics and loving it. Dear, sweet, brave men and women who the world would not look at twice,  are doing great things. They encourage me! Today I sat another exam and I know I passed. Why? I did the preparation! Tonight I watched  u-tube video in which Benny Hinn shared a dream in which the Lord showed him being raptured. I know personally this is coming soon. Therefore everything I do is with this in mind. Our ultimate victory is the retun of Christ. Oh how I am looking forward to this happening.  May Your kingdom come Lord! Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Amen! He will come in the clouds!
