Christmas Greetings!

Image
“Christmas”!  Is here again!  Christmas is a very special time, when the world stops to remember Jesus. Jesus is the reason for the season, the reason behind the giving, generosity and love.  All over the world people from different countries and family backgrounds, know there is something special about this time of the year. Let’s make this a Christmas to remember, by focusing on the most precious and important things that we have in life.   Sometimes, due to the way Christmas has been commercialized, we can forget the true meaning of Christmas and what it is really about.  Two thousand years ago, God the Father, sent His only Son into the world.  He came to save the world (us) from our sins and give the greatest Christmas present ever.   This is the present that we s

Prayer Alert | Victory November

Image
Hope you have all had a great week!   Christmas is approaching fast and it will soon be 2018.  We have called this VICTORY NOVEMBER! After our Daniel fast, we can sense a new excitement in the spirit. Our God is a faithful God Who keeps His promises .  When I speak to people, I know that many of you have faced and are facing challenging times.  This is why we need to stick together in prayer , upholding one another and encouraging each other. There are pastors that have called me as the Holy Spirit has promoted them and given me an encouraging word.  It is wonderful to know, that God calls people to pray for us, to encourage us and to support us. We want to encourage, pray and support you.   We are praying for our partners, family and friends, daily.  We want to see a performance of all God's good word manifested in your life!  Please continue to send i

Prayer Update | Testimonies

We continue to pray for you, through this month of October.  Many great things have taken place as a result of our prayer and fasting .  One lady has let us know, she has been given a car! She received this blessing the day after we finished the fast.  Her car was due for expensive, major repairs, to which she did not have the finances.  Well praise God, an obedient family heard God speak to them and instruct them, to give to this lady their car.  WHAT A BREAKTHROUGH!  WHAT A BLESSING!  Other people have testified, to have been given sums of money .   Another lady, believing for part time work, to help her family budget and give to the ministry, has received a part time position .  One other lady, was able to sell her house and purchase another house, suitable to start a home fellowship.  These great testimonies, are just the beginning!   Look at the rain Queensland has received, bre

Prayer Update | Breakout October

We are continuing to push into God, lifting you up before the Lord and asking our God to manifest His very best blessings , in your life.  We need to rejoice together that God has given our city and state, the much needed rain that we asked for.  We praise God for this rain that has been filling our dams, blessing farmers and watering the land.  We continue to pray that the volcano in Bali settles down and no lives are lost or destroyed in the event of an eruption. We also continue to pray for peace on the Korean Peninsula, we want to see both North and South Korea united as one and prospering as a country.  We pray God's love, peace and blessing upon that land and its people.  Continue to pray for peace through this whole region and all of Korea's neighbours. Let's continue in prayer for Australia, that God would bless and protect families and the family values we hold dear.  Uphold and

October Prayer Breakout - Part 2

Image
Thank you for your prayer requests, that you have been sending in.  We are praying for you!   We are pleading the blood of our Lord Jesus Christ over your situations, circumstances and family.  Decreeing and declaring all that His blood represents.  We have been partaking of communion together.   I hope that you have been able to join with us in your homes, churches or gathering places.  During the course of this month we will be sharing testimonies of different breakthroughs that are happening.  Please send in your testimonies that we can share with others.  The following are two testimonies, that I am sharing so that you can rejoice along with us! On Thursday our Harvest Food Assist workers were given some bags of clothes to give out to people in need.  A lady, in very difficult circumstances with a large family, came in to receive a free food parcel.  Our care workers asked her if sh

October Prayer Breakout

Thank you to all those that are joining with us in this month of prayer and fasting .  We are doing a " Daniel's Fast " during the first 21 days of October and as promised I will be sending out each week, prayer points and updates. Once again, I encourage you to journal these times of prayer and write down what you believe God is saying to you.  A Daniel's fast is not a complete fast, but a fasting of certain food types and amounts.  There is a lot of information on the internet about Daniel's type fast and how beneficial they can also be for your health.  I will leave that to you, what and how you choose to fast, during this time, is between yourself and God. Some people for health or other reasons may not be able to fast at all, but maybe you can fast other things like TV or other forms of entertainment, to give that time to prayer for your Nation, your Family and the Church. Psalm 133 says, " Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren

A CALL TO PRAYER

Image
I am writing this blog, as I believe we all need to be praying for our world right now. Millions of people are living in areas that are threatened by both natural calamities and the threat of war. I am sure you have seen the news and the devastation from hurricane Harvey and the floods it left in its wake.  Now there is hurricane Irma that has just gone through the islands of the Caribbean and heading towards Florida.  At present there are three hurricanes in the Atlantic Ocean, that hurricane scientists say , " they've never seen anything like this in the modern record ". These are reported to be the largest storms they have ever witnessed.  On top of this, there is many out of control bush-fires raging through different parts of America. We know it is the last days and Jesus has spoken about the signs of the times in His word.  But we are here as the church, in this age of grace, to reign and rule in life through Him.  Let's all especially pray for peace

What Does It Mean to Praise?

Image
The dictionary meaning of praise is: to laud the glory of God, as in song, glorify, commendation, glorification, to praise someone highly, to commend their worth, express admiration. ‘Laud’ means to loudly proclaim or declare. Be ‘vocal’ – using the words of your mouth. Hebrews 13:15  “By Him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to His name.” As we offer the sacrifice of praise (which under this covenant is the sacrifice that God requires), giving thanks unto His name for what He has done for us, we are offering the fruit of our lips. John 15:8 tells us “Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples.” Our Father is glorified as we, His disciples, bear much fruit.  The more we praise, the more fruit we bear.  Little praise = little fruit. No praise = no fruit.  Much Praise = Much Fruit. Job 6:25  “How forcible are right words!  But what doth your arguing repro

PRAISE OPENS THE GATES TO BLESSING

Image
Praise needs to be put literally first in prayer.  It is significant that in the future prophesied glory, when our walls are “Salvation”, our gates will be “Praise” (Isaiah 60:18).  “Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, and into His courts with praise” Psalm 100:4. There is no more worthy entrance into the presence of God than the entrance of praise.  Praise opens the gates to blessing.  Praise opens the way to the very heart of God. “Oh that men would praise the Lord for His goodness and for His wonderful works to the children of men!  And let them sacrifice the sacrifices of thanksgiving, and declare His works with rejoicing.”  Psalm 107:21-22. Excerpt taken from Dr. Shaun's book ' Praise Power '. Dr Shaun Marler – “Empowering you to win in life through Jesus Christ”

Samoa Outreach Testimonies

Image
Thank you for your prayers and support for the Samoan Outreach.  God moved in powerful demonstrations of His Presence and Power. Pastor Viliamu Mafoe, Senior Pastor/Apostle of Worship Centre Christian Church in Samoa , had declared it the 'Holy Spirit Conference' .  This conference ran in Apia, the capital of Western Samoa for two weeks.  Apostle Mafoe was led by the Holy Spirit to change the Saturday nights, to youth outreaches. These outreaches would see thousands of young people in attendance and over 4000 youth gave their lives to Christ. The day time sessions were for teaching, while the evening was preaching and demonstrations of the Spirit's presence and power.  God moved in great power during this fortnight, of which, I was there for a week.  During this conference between 4000 - 5000 people gave their hearts to Jesus.  During the evening services more than a thousand people were baptized with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues.   Many peop

Season of Breakthrough

Image
Don't quit!   This is the season of breakthrough .  Continue to press in, continue to stand to see what God has promised you, fully manifested in your lives.  Many of God's prophets are seeing and saying the same thing.  The best days are still to come, the Lord has seen how you have continued to stand, He has seen your faithfulness even though the fire has been hot and the enemy has continued to rage.  The Lord has seen how you have continued to fight the good fight of faith and how you have continued to be faithful in your prayers and giving. We need each other and we need each other's prayers.  God has promised that the glory of the last house, will be greater than any former house.  The reason why the enemy has fought so hard, is because he knows his time is short.  God is a covenant keeping and promise keeping God. Numbers 23:19 God is not human, that he should lie,     not a human being, that he should change his mind. Does he speak and then not act?    

PRAISE POWER

Image
Let us praise Him, no matter what God asks or expects of us; let us praise Him in every situation of life. Let us praise Him no matter what He appoints or calls us to do. Let us take great joy in Him , reverence Him and respect Him in everything that concerns Him . Let Him be ‘God’ to us, our exceeding joy (Psalm 34:4). Do you know what it is to delight yourself in God? Learn to enjoy God, enjoy His love, enjoy His presence. As you enjoy Him, offer Him continued praise. Life is no longer to be sorrowful, even amid sorrow, when you know Him and invite Him through praise to be part of your life. No matter how strained, trying or hopeless your circumstances, no matter how afflicted your life, life is worth the living when you honour God. We just need to taste His life in us and experience the joy of the Lord, which God guarantees will be our strength. Remember ‘God’ the Lord God, allows you to call Him ‘Father’. He is your answer, your deliverance, your ‘Daddy’ God and He loves
