  The Joy of the Lord Dear Partners, Friends & Family, "Do not sorrow, for the joy of the Lord is your strength.” - Nehemiah 8:10b The Hebrew word 'Joy' here means gladness  and comes from another Hebrew word with the meaning 'rejoicing' with gladness and joy . We have been looking at the force of joy  for the last couple of weeks. Remember , 'joy' is a force of the re-born or re-created human spirit. In  2 Corinthians 5:17 - " Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new." It says, "if any man be in Christ, he is a new creation," or we could say, a species of being that never existed before. When you are in Christ, you are a new creation, a child of the Most-High God. You have been baptized or immersed into the Body of Christ by the Holy Spirit and the Holy Spirit has taken up residence in your heart. When born-again you have become one w...

  The King's Kingdom Is Coming Dear Partners, Family & Friends,  I remember many years ago when a man by the name of Marvin Ford spoke at one of our ministry's conventions. Marvin had been in an accident, died and went to Heaven and David Wilkerson had raised him from the dead. While in Heaven, in an audience with King Jesus , he was told by the Lord, that he was being sent back to the earth. It wasn't his time and there was a message that He needed Marvin to deliver. Jesus said, "Go tell My people, that before I come with My church (at the second coming), I am coming for My church, but before I come for My church at the great catching up (rapture), I am coming to My church in a great out-pouring of glory, signs, wonders and miracles." Here I believe, and so did Marvin, that Jesus was referring to the last great outpouring that would result in over a billion souls coming into the Kingdom of God from all over the world.  Revival is breaking out now all over ...

  The Spirit of Might Dear Partners, Family & Friends,  I have just been at Celebration X on the Sunshine Coast with Pastors Daniel & Chelsea Hagen. I had the privilege and the honour of sharing on the topic of Joy . When Ps. Daniel asked me to share a word, I sought the Lord as to what He wanted me to speak on. He dropped one word into my spirit, " Joy ". As I mediated on this word, God gave me fresh insight and understanding to the power of joy and the necessity of it manifesting in the life of the Believer. I've always liked the quote from Jerry Savelle, "If the devil can't take your joy, he can't steal your goods." Immediately, God dropped the scripture Nehemiah 8:10b into my spirit. "...for this day is holy to our Lord. Do not sorrow, for the joy of the Lord is your strength.” The Joy of the Lord is our strength. From the word in Psalm 8:2 , the Psalmist speaks of 'strength' coming out of babies and children. In the book of ...

  Faith Cometh Dear Partners, Family & Friends,  So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. - Romans 10:17 The Word says, "faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God", notice the word is 'hearing', it's not 'heard'. There is a scripture (in 2 Peter 1:12) that says, though you know certain truths, you need to be established in these truths. We can't just hear the word once! To live a strong Christian life out of the spirit man, we need to feed our spirit-man daily. In the natural, to have a well-functioning body we need to feed our physical person good nutritious food, in the right quantities.  I believe it was Smith Wigglesworth who said that God said to him, "My people feed their body 3 square meals a day and their spirit 1 quick snack a week. Then they wonder why the Word is not working for them."  God gave me a saying once, and it went like this, "The Word works, when you work the Word". Th...

  Faith It Till You Make It Dear Partners, Family & Friends,  Faith it till you make it. - Shaun Marler Yesterday, as I was meditating on faith and seeking the Lord as to what to write about this week, the above thought, "Faith it till you make it" dropped into my mind and spirit.  I felt God say to me, "Shaun, write a message on 'Faith it Until You Make it". As these words were heard in my spirit, I immediately thought of the saying, "Fake it till you make it". I believe the Lord spoke to me and said Shaun, "c hange the word fake for the word faith!" Faith is the most crucial subject in the Bible, because faith gives us access to all the promises of God, including salvation. The Bible tells us in the book of Habakkuk 2:4b , 'the just shall live by faith'. 'The just shall live by faith', were part of the words of a consolatory answer to prayer from God which the prophet Habakkuk received, in a time of great stress when th...
