| | | #### The Power of Prayer
Prayer is powerful! When we offer our prayers to God in faith and according to His Word, the Scriptures teach us that He will hear and that He will answer:
1 John 5:14-15, "And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us: And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him" (KJV)
A prayer that is offered in faith pleases God and this is where the Power of Prayer truly becomes evident:
Hebrews 11:6 "But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him" (KJV)
#### Your Prayer Request
Your request for prayer will receive the personal attention of [Jan & Annika van Rooyen](https://www.raininternational.com/about-us/ "More information about Jan & Annika van Rooyen"). They will bring your request before the Throne of God.
Jan & Annika are the Senior Elders of RAIN International SA, and for more than forty-eight years they have dedicated their lives to the [teaching of God's Word.](https://www.raininternational.com/audio/ "Learn how to do Prayer & Intercession from Jan & Annika van Rooyen")

|  |  Ministry Vision, Mission & Values |  | |
| | | RAIN International SA was originally founded by Jan van Rooyen under the name Mansion Builder Ministries (1 Peter 2:4-8). This was done in obedience to the vision God had given that the ministry is an instrument involved in building the House of the Lord.
As time progressed God started to expand the vision saying He will use the ministry to pour out His Spirit like rain (Joel 2:23-24) in order to bring about transformation and reformation - thus the name change to RAIN International SA.
##### RAIN International SA Vision, Mission & Value Statement
| | | |
| --- | --- | --- |
| |  Vision: | To exhort the Household of Faith (Galatians 6:10) into becoming a strong, relevant and [Christlike](https://www.raininternational.com/teaching/pursuing-the-presence-of-god/) Covenantal Community of People capable of effecting positive and lasting change within their sphere of grace & influence, families, communities, regions and nations. |
| |  Mission: | To bring about the process of reformation and conformity into the fullness of the Image of Christ through fathering, [mentoring](https://www.raininternational.com/networks/), [coaching](https://www.raininternational.com/networks/), equipping and development of the Household of Faith using accurate Word Based Life Strategies and Principles, and thereby through obedience fulfil the call of God and manifest & demonstrate His Glory and Grace upon the earth. |
| |  Values: | To ensure the expression of a Christocentric Culture at all times through our love for Him and one another; Christlike integrity, honesty, transparency and excellence in ministry; compassion, grace and mercy for all people. |
As the Leaders and Senior Elders of RAIN International SA, Jan and Annika van Rooyen interact and are in relationship with a number of Ministers and Ministries on a personal basis. For the sake of accountability and doctrinal accuracy, these relationships play an important role in God's mandate for their lives.
This "answerability" ensures the accuracy of teaching, fathering, and mentoring of those under their spiritual care or oversight. For more information about these relationships, visit: [Leaders we relate to](https://www.raininternational.com/networks/ "Leaders we relate to")....

| | | ## Why Apostolic and Prophetic Teaching, Guidance & Word Studies?
God's Church is presently experiencing a tremendous paradigmshift regarding her true calling and function in the world. This is now more true than at any other time in history.
The need for Biblical and Foundational Apostolic and Prophetic Teaching as well as Word Studies & Lessons with equipping materials have increased in proportion to the radical changes happening around us daily.
Our expectation & hope is therefore that any Teaching, Word studies, Lessons, or Guidance made available on these pages will serve for the perfecting of the Saints for the work of the Ministry. Also, we trust the Church will come into a Mature Position of Governmental Authority in Christ!

|  | Prophetic Words, Prophecy & Prophecies |  | |
| | | # Prophetic Words given to Us & Others by the Lord
During our years of ministry the Lord has been faithful to entrust us with Prophetic Words for His Church.
In releasing these words we have undertaken to be accurate in what we sensed the Lord said to us. We have also submitted Words from the Lord to our Pastoral Leadership before making them public.
For your edification included are Prophetic words from other Ministries with a track record of hearing from the Spirit of God in an accurate way.
We trust these Words will encourage you and serve as confirmation of what God is doing in the earth.

|  |  RAIN International SA Statement of Faith |  | |
| | | The Programmes and Activities governing the form of Worship of Rain International SA shall be based upon and at all times be consistent with the following Creed and Beliefs:
1. We believe in the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments in their original writing as fully inspired of God and accept them as the supreme and final authority for faith and life.
2. We believe in one God, eternally existing in three Persons - Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
3. We believe that Jesus Christ was begotten of the Father, conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary and is true God and true man.
4. We believe that God created man in His own image; that man sinned and thereby incurred the penalty of sin which is death, physical and spiritual; that all human beings inherit a sinful nature which issues (in the case of those who reach moral responsibility) in actual transgression involving personal guilt.
5. We believe in the principle of heterosexual relationships between a natural man and a natural woman within the confines of lawful matrimony.
6. We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ died for our sins a substitutionary sacrifice according to the Scriptures and that all who believe in Him are justified on the grounds of His shed blood.
7. We believe in the bodily resurrection of the Lord Jesus, His ascension into Heaven, and His present life as our High Priest and Advocate.
8. We believe in the personal return of the Lord Jesus Christ.
9. We believe that all who repent of their sin and receive the Lord Jesus Christ by faith are born again of the Holy Spirit and thereby become children of God.
10. We believe in the Baptism in the Holy Spirit, empowering and equipping believers for service, with the accompanying supernatural gifts of the Holy Spirit; and in fellowship with the Holy Spirit. We believe in the divinely ordained ministries of Apostle, Prophet, Evangelist, Pastor, and Teacher.
11. We believe in the resurrection of both the just and the unjust, the eternal blessedness of the redeemed and the eternal banishment of those who have rejected the offer of salvation.
12. We believe that elders carry the responsibility for oversight and care of the staff and members. Where necessary elders must carry out Biblical discipline for the protection of the Local Ministry.
13. We believe that the one true Ministry is the whole company of those who have been redeemed by Jesus Christ and regenerated by the Holy Spirit; that the Local Ministry on earth should take its character from this and that the new birth and personal confession of Christ are essentials of Ministry membership.
14. We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ appointed two ordinances - Baptism in Water and The Lord's Supper - to be observed as acts of obedience and as perpetual witnesses to the cardinal facts of the Christian Faith; That Baptism is the immersion of the believer in water as a confession of identification with Christ in burial and resurrection and that the Lord's Supper is the partaking of the emblems symbolic of the Saviour's broken body and shed blood, in remembrance of His sacrificial death, till He comes.
15. We believe that divine healing was provided for in the Old Testament and is an integral part of the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ.
16. We believe the Bible teaches that without holiness no man can see the Lord. We believe in the doctrine of sanctification as a definite yet progressive work of Grace, commencing at the time of the new birth and continuing until the consummation of salvation.
17. The Ministry is open to any further truth, which the Holy Spirit may illuminate from the Scriptures.

|  |  Financial Support & Strategic Biblical Partnership |  | |
| | | Why Financial Partnership?
Because it is a Biblical Concept
The financial partnership of our ministry friends over the years have borne much fruit not only in our work and ministry, also many have shared testimonies of the goodness of our Heavenly Father in individual lives, ministries, and churches. These individuals, ministries and churches have come to realize the importance of Biblical Partnership as the Apostle Paul explains it in Philippians 4:10, 15-19;
> "But I rejoiced in the Lord greatly, that now at the last your care of me hath flourished again; wherein ye were also careful, but ye lacked opportunity. Now ye Philippians know also, that in the beginning of the gospel, when I departed from Macedonia, no church communicated with me as concerning giving and receiving, but ye only. For even in Thessalonica ye sent once and again unto my necessity. Not because I desire a gift: but I desire fruit that may abound to your account. But I have all, and abound: I am full, having received of Epaphroditus the things which were sent from you, an odour of a sweet smell, a sacrifice acceptable, wellpleasing to God. But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus." KJV
As a Financial Partner you may draw from the Grace upon this Ministry
Paul says in Philippians 1:3,5,7,
> "I thank my God upon every remembrance of you... For your fellowship (partnership) in the gospel from the first day until now ...because I have you in my heart; inasmuch as both in my bonds, and in the defence and confirmation of the gospel, ye all are partakers of my grace." KJV
Many of our Financial Partners understand the principle of partaking of the "grace" on this ministry and have subsequently enjoyed God's blessings upon their lives.
God Blesses Oneness
As we unite our efforts as co-laborers with Christ, He will reward us, and command His blessing (Psalm 133:1-3). Your financial support enables us to go and preach the Word of God where you yourself cannot go, and, as a result the seed you sow into the lives of many whom you don't know, will be multiplied back to you (Galatians 6:7; Philippians 4:19).

|  | # Pursuing the Presence of God |  | |
| | | Word Study:
## Pursuing the Presence of God
Seek God and Draw Close to Him
James 4:8; 2 Chronicles 15:2; Genesis 32:24,25; Psalm 51:17
Our scriptures in James and Chronicles tell us that if we seek God and draw close to Him, He will seek us out and draw close to us. The words used in the original languages are identical.
This means that as we seek Him with all our heart, He will go all out to have a relationship with us. In fact, He has already gone so far as to give Himself in His Son, even to the point of death upon the cross.
This means in our drawing close to Him there must of necessity be a dying to ourselves and our own agendas.
Lay down your Agenda
As we see from our word study, these concepts of "dying" and "laying down of our own agendas", are all included in the original meanings. (see Word Study [HERE](https://www.raininternational.com/teaching/near-wrestle-contrite/)...)
We also learn from the study that, 'near', 'wrestle', and 'contrite' have many similar and overlapping meanings.
Although they are not the same words, generally in the contexts they are used in, and especially in the scriptures quoted above, we see that in some instances the root meanings are similar.
For instance, to draw near, could also mean to forcefully take hold of. This is almost like wrestling.
Wrestling again, in one of its root forms, could also mean, to be crushed to powder, which is similar to contrite.
Deliberately draw close to Him
Putting it all together could mean that we should deliberately draw close to God, with perseverance, yet with a humble and tender heart towards Him.
This can be further explained in the following manner:
To successfully draw close to Him and seek His Face, we need to make a deliberate decision to move closer to Him in the Spirit.
Moving closer to something or Someone means to shorten the distance, to not be far away. We need to seek Him in a way that would almost bring us to a point of physical contact with Him.
In other words, we must seek His touch (compare the parable of the woman suffering from the issue of blood - Matthew 9:20).
This drawing closer to Him denotes a sense of urgency to be near Him. A sense of intimacy with Him. A sharing of our lives with Him and His life with us.
Desire Christlikeness
As we draw close to Him there should be a desire on our part to attain His Standard of Christlikeness. We should desire to be more like Him, and be conformed to His image.
Our desire must be to draw close to Him frequently, to "tread" or walk before Him often, regularly and habitually.
To draw near to Him means to follow Him and move in the same direction as He is. It implies our compliance with His will and desires, our obedience in accordance with His will, and that we closely watch and observe Him.
As we attentively observe, and show an active interest in Him, we will speak and do the same as He does (see John 5:19,20,30; 8:28; 9:4).
A Childlike Attitude
We often see how small children observe their parents carefully, and copy their speech, their mannerisms, and their habits (even the bad ones).
To pursue the Lord is to "examine" Him, "scrutinize" Him, "investigate" Him, and in so doing finding out who He really is. It is a discovery of what pleases or displeases Him, and His will for us, etc..
Like an "inquisition" our actions deliberately try to discover, examine, and thoroughly question Him. During our time of "inquisition" our motive always remains our love for Him.
A truly genuine and seeking heart will desire to keep up with Him, to understand Him more, and will allow Him to be our model, our guide, our leader.
We will want to comply with Him fully, and pursue Him to the end and final outcome of our faith, which should be nothing less than our Christlikeness.
Pursue Intimacy - "in - to - me - see"
To pursue Him means striving for a more intimate relationship with Him. It implies a continuous following through until we have attained the desired result, which in this case, is not only to be close to Him but also one with Him in all we are and all we do (see John 15).
Pursuing the presence of the Lord is to seek knowledge and information about Him. This we find in His Word, His love-letter to us.
It is up to us to make the time to inquire, investigate, and examine His Word. Too often we busy ourselves with a superficial "glancing" through the Word, but from Scripture it is clear that meditation of the Word is important.
To meditate means to think upon, consider thoughtfully, give serious attention to, read or speak over and over, murmur or mutter under the breath with pleasure, ponder, imagine, study.
Our life's quest should be to search Him out. The focus of this quest must be on the One objective and goal - to be conformed to the image of the Son.
Desire One Thing only...
> Psalm 27:4 reads, "One thing have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after... to behold the beauty of the LORD..." Verse 8 reads, "When thou saidst, Seek ye my face; my heart said unto thee, Thy face, LORD, will I seek" (also read Philippians 3).
Looking at our foundation scriptures again, we see pressing in to God involves a wrestling, a "forceful taking hold of."
At the same time we are to be contrite, or finely crushed like powder. Many meanings could be attached to being "contrite" or "broken", but I am particularly touched by what the Lord showed me concerning the properties of fine powder.
Many of us have undoubtedly at some time or another worked with or used fine powder, such as deodorized talcum powder.
The Lord reminded me that with powder this fine, it is easy to make an "impression" or picture in it. Let me explain.
If one would take the container with the powder in one hand, and with the other hand take a coin or object with an image embellished upon it, and press it gently into the powder and then remove it carefully, one would see a perfect mirror image of the object in the powder.
How does this apply to Us?
When we seek the Lord, and remain soft and pliable before Him, just as the powder would be, His image will be perfectly imprinted upon our spirit.
As long as we maintain our relationship with Him, His image will be seen in us.
The moment we neglect our relationship with Him, we will lose our gentleness and pliableness, with the result that the "powder" of our hearts will be disturbed, and the image will become distorted.
Don't let His Image become Distorted
Continue to press into Him with an attitude of humility, worship, and tenderness towards Him. Let us do so with a determination in our hearts, like Jacob, not to let Him go until He blesses us.
In His Love and Anointing

|  | # The Outpouring of the Holy Spirit |  | |
| | | Communiqué - December 1991
by Jan van Rooyen
The outpouring of the Holy Spirit on a small group of believers in Topeka, Kansas, on January 1, 1901, gave birth to the modern Pentecostal movement.
Many similar revivals have taken place all over the world since then, but never before has it been so apparent that we need a great spiritual awakening and "revival," that would stem the tide of sin and wickedness that we see all around us.
The lukewarmness in our churches and the fallen state of our nation, causes one to realise that something drastic has to happen to change the course of events.
Revival, (or more accurately, reformation), will only take place when people realise that they are sinful and they then turn to Jesus Christ who is the Lifegiver, and the only One who has any lasting solutions and answers to the problems of life.
The crucible or matrix from which revival is born, is prayer. Of necessity this involves someone who prays and Someone who answers that petition and request. Prayer is a major part of the answer, yet not many are willing to lay down their lives for others in this way; to see them set free and delivered from their sin.
Through supplication and intercession we enter by faith into the Throne room of God, and we ask Him to set people free from bondage and tradition.
We ask that their hearts be made free so that they will cry out to Jesus Who is the only Saviour of mankind. This is all done by the Power of the Holy Spirit Who speaks to men and women and tells them that they need Jesus.
God is looking for men and women who are willing to pray for revival. He is looking for people who want to be obedient to His call.
Are you willing to obey the call of the Holy Spirit?
Yours in His Love and Anointing

|  | # Come, let us Return to the Lord... |  | |
| | | Communiqué - 1 October 1994
by Jan van Rooyen
With many reports of the wonderful way that God has started moving across our nation and abroad, we read in Hosea 6:1-3 the following;
> "Come, and let us return to the Lord; for He has torn so that He may heal us; He has stricken so that He may bind us up. After two days He will revive us -- quicken us, give us life; on the third day He will raise us up, that we may live before Him. Yes, let us know -- recognise, be acquainted with and understand Him; let us be zealous to know the Lord -- to appreciate, give heed to and cherish Him. His going forth is prepared and certain as the dawn, and He will come to us as the heavy rain, as the latter rain that waters the earth."
The move of God's Spirit that is becoming apparent, is happening purely because God is doing it. We cannot create revival, BUT, there is one thing that we can do, and it is to humble ourselves before the Lord. God responds to those that will humble themselves before Him as we read in the following scriptures;
> Matthew 5:8, "Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God."
>
> Psalm 24:3-4, "Who shall go up into the mountain of the Lord? Or who shall stand in His holy place? He who has clean hands and a pure heart, who has not lifted himself up to falsehood, or to what is false, nor sworn deceitfully."
>
> James 4:8, "Come close to God and He will come close to you. Recognise that you are sinners, get your soiled hands clean; realise that you have been disloyal wavering individuals with divided interests, and purify your hearts."
>
> Isaiah 66:2, "...But this is the man to whom I will look and have regard, he who is humble and of a broken or wounded spirit, and who trembles at My word and reveres My commands."
I would like to encourage you to continue to take your stand as an intercessor at this time. Although God is moving mightily, there is much work that has to be done in the hearts of God's people before the revival can come in its fullness. The reason for this is found in Luke 5:37-39;
> "And no one pours new wine into old wineskins; if he does, the fresh wine will burst the skins and it will be spilled, and the skins will be ruined (destroyed). But new wine must be put in fresh wineskins; And no one after drinking old wine immediately desires new wine, for he says, The old is good or better."
This verse of scripture is a complete teaching on its own, but it suffices to say that the wineskins refer to our souls and the renewing of our minds, Romans 12:1,2. We need to seek the face of God in order for Him to prepare our hearts for His glory. We are the carriers of His glory, and if we allow ourselves to be purified (2 Tim 2:20,21) we will be ready and available when He starts manifesting His glory in and through us.
I agree with the Apostle Paul and say;
> "Be earnest and unwearied and steadfast in your prayer life, being both alert and intent in (your praying) with thanksgiving. And at the same time pray for us also, that God may open a door to us for the Word (the Gospel), to proclaim the mystery concerning Christ, the Messiah,..." (Colossians 4:2,3)
In conclusion, may "the Lord bless you, and watch, guard and keep you; the Lord make His face to shine upon and enlighten you and be gracious, kind, merciful, and giving favour to you. The Lord lift up His approving countenance upon you, and give you peace continually" (Numbers 6:24-26.)
Yours in His Love and Anointing

|  | # God desires Intimacy... |  | |
| | | Communiqué - 19 October 1994
by Jan van Rooyen
> "Enlarge the place of your tent, and let the curtains of your habitations be stretched out; spare not, lengthen your cords and strengthen your stakes, For you shall spread abroad to the right hand and to the left, and your offspring will possess the nations, and make the desolate cities to be inhabited" Isaiah 54:2,3.
The moving of the Holy Spirit in one's life always necessitates the removal of the old and accepting and flowing with the new. It is always easier for you and I to remain in a rut and with the familiar than it is to get out of the rut and do something that is totally new.
However, in Christ nothing is ever really new because He never changes. However, when we look at what He is doing through the Word and the Spirit, it sometimes appears completely foreign to us. The reason for this is because He is revealing a facet of Himself that we as individuals were not aware of previously because our revelation and vision of whom He is, is so limited.
Right now, in South Africa, the Spirit is revealing a facet of God's character which is totally foreign to the religious and carnal mind. For anyone to know what is happening at this time, they need to walk closely with the Lord because "the natural, nonspiritual man does not accept or welcome or admit into his heart the gifts and teachings and revelations of the Spirit of God, for they are folly to him; and he is incapable of knowing them because they are spiritually discerned and estimated and appreciated". (1 Cor. 2:14)
Our Heavenly Father is desiring an intimacy with His people that will exceed anything we have known before. This intimacy will transcend everything that has its roots and origins in the flesh. To know Him intimately in this way will require that we count the cost of our walk with Him. We have no option but to lay down that which is carnal and fleshly and seek His Face in earnest.
Whatever it is that hinders us in our walk with God, this needs to be laid aside, because the longer we wait, the more difficult it will be to change our hearts and become obedient to the promptings of the Holy Spirit.
> "Come, and let us return to the Lord; for He has torn so that He may heal us; He has stricken so that He may bind us up. After two days He will revive us -- quicken us, give us life; on the third day He will raise us up, that we may live before Him. Yes, let us know -- recognise, be acquainted with and understand Him; let us be zealous to know the Lord -- to appreciate, give heed to and cherish Him. His going forth is prepared and certain as the dawn, and He will come to us as the (heavy) rain, as the latter rain that waters the earth" (Hosea 6:1-3).
>
> "Therefore also now, says the Lord, turn and keep on coming to Me with all your heart, with fasting, with weeping, and with mourning until every hindrance is removed and the broken fellowship is restored. Rend your hearts and not your garments, and return to the Lord your God, for He is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and abounding in lovingkindness, and He revokes His sentence of evil when His conditions are met" (Joel 2:12,13).
God's message is clear. He is ready to pour out of His Spirit. Are we ready? Are we ready for the glory to manifest and follow through us to touch broken humanity, or will we be destroyed by that very same glory? It is up to us! Let us humble ourselves before our God and prepare our hearts. When we draw close to Him, He WILL draw close to us.
Pray with me:
Heavenly Father, as a Christian I am the true circumcision, and I worship You in spirit and by the Holy Spirit, and I exult and glory and pride myself in Jesus Christ, and put no confidence or dependence on what I am in the flesh and on outward privileges and physical advantages and external appearances.
Whatever former things I had that might have been gains to me, I have come to consider as one combined loss for Christ's sake. Yes, furthermore I count everything as loss compared to the possession of the priceless privilege -- the overwhelming preciousness, the surpassing worth and supreme advantage -- of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, and of progressively becoming more deeply and intimately acquainted with Him, of perceiving and recognising and understanding Him more fully and clearly. For His sake I have lost everything and consider it all to be mere rubbish (refuse, dregs), in order that I may win and gain Christ, the Anointed One.
I pray that I may actually be found and known as in Him, not having any self-achieved righteousness that can be called my own, based on my obedience to the Law's demands, but possessing that genuine righteousness which comes through faith in Christ, the Anointed One, the truly right standing with God, which comes from God by saving faith.
For my determined purpose is that I may know Him -- that I may progressively become more deeply and intimately acquainted with Him, perceiving and recognising and understanding the wonders of His Person more strongly and more clearly. And that I may in the same way come to know the power outflowing from His resurrection; and that I may so share His sufferings as to be continually transformed in spirit into His likeness even to His death, in the hope that if possible I may attain to the spiritual and moral resurrection that lifts me out from among the dead even while in the body.
I know that I have not attained this ideal or am already made perfect yet, but I press on to lay hold of and grasp and make my own, that for which Christ Jesus, the Messiah, has laid hold of me and made me His own.
I do not consider that I have captured and made it my own yet; but one thing I do -- it is my one aspiration: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the supreme and heavenly prize to which God in Christ Jesus is calling me upward.
I pray this, in the Name of Jesus, Amen!
In conclusion I want to thank you for standing with us as a ministry. Annika and I really appreciate you. Only eternity will reveal the effect of your prayers and support in the lives of those whom we have the privilege of ministering to.
Yours in His Love and Anointing

|  | # Pray, Pray, Pray... |  | |
| | | Communiqué - May 1997
by Jan van Rooyen
God is moving mightily by His Spirit and it is a great privilege to be alive at this time.
At present we are not only making provision in the natural to withstand the effects of the typical South African winter, but we are also preparing ourselves to move deeper into the flow of the fire of God's Spirit.
Over the past months we have witnessed the increase of the Anointing as God continues to pour out of His Spirit, and we see revival fires beginning to burn in many churches, both locally and internationally.
Our own lives have not gone untouched by this present moving of the Holy Spirit, and we have had to do some significant adjustments to our vision in order to keep up with the Lord. In fact, the word He spoke to us on the 19th of October 1994 is coming into being;
"Enlarge the place of your tent, and let the curtains of your habitations be stretched out; spare not, lengthen your cords and strengthen your stakes, For you shall spread abroad to the right hand and to the left, and your offspring will possess the nations, and make the desolate cities to be inhabited" (Isaiah 54:2,3).
When God speaks to us as believers, we are not always aware of the full impact and implications of His Word to us, and it certainly has been the case here.
The full meaning of these verses only became clearer as we were waiting upon Him in prayer, and He confirmed that we needed to implement the full vision for our lives.
Ministry Background
First founded as "Mansion-Builder Ministries," this ministry has been equipping believers in the area of the prophetic, prayer, intercession, spiritual-warfare, and finances.
Over the years God has broadened the sphere of the ministry to include the Apostolic Reformation and the teaching of leadership.
During an extensive period of waiting on the Lord in 1996 the Lord spoke clearly about redefining the vision, and the subsequent name change to RAIN International.
Essentially RAIN serves as facilitator of a network of ministries desiring to remain on the cutting edge of the flow of God's Spirit.
This necessitates direct assistance to local churches in equipping believers and congregations for the coming harvest of souls.
Fire From Heaven!!!
The recent "Catch the Fire" conference hosted by Pastor Ed Roebert of Hatfield Church, Pretoria, changed the lives of thousands of Christians.
Guest speakers John and Carol Arnott of the Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship in Canada, ministered the Word and the Spirit in great power and humility. Our own lives were deeply touched and God has once again drawn us closer to His heart.
The goodness of God was evident at all times during the conference. The Holy Spirit was continually ministering to men and women, and testimonies about God's healing and deliverance in lives were shared at regular intervals.
Pastor Roebert believes that this conference has brought a watershed in the history of the Church in South Africa, and we are in absolute agreement with him.
During a recent meeting of pastors in Centurion, all unanimously agreed that God has definitely started something fresh in His Church, and they also sense a mighty release in the spiritual realm.
Many shared that the conference has acted as a "catalyst" for a significantly greater release of the Spirit in their respective ministries, and congregations are being touched by God's Fire in an ongoing way.
Pray, Pray, Pray!!!
As we continue to travel between churches and ministries, there is one theme on the lips of everyone - PRAYER. Deeper probing and questioning reveals that Christians everywhere agree that we need REVIVAL!!!
Some leaders are saying that the Church must cease praying for revival because they believe we are already in the middle of a fully-fledged revival.
However, past revivals died out because of this very issue, the lack of continued prayer. Prayer keeps us in touch with God's heart and ensures we continually flow with His programme, not ours.
Lack of prayer causes a "boxing in" of the Spirit and, as with previous revivals, error will come in and stop-up the flow.
Continued intimacy with God through prayer and intercession will ensure that we do not lose our spiritual "momentum."
We believe that as the Body of Christ continues to come into agreement concerning an even mightier outpouring of God's Spirit, we will yet see Joel 2:23 fulfilled.
The former and latter rain of the Spirit falling together and creating a "momentum" that will usher in the return of King Jesus!!!
We pray that God will continue to pour out His Spirit upon you at this time!
Yours in His Love and Anointing

|  | # Don't Miss the River... |  | |
| | | Communiqué - February 1998
by Jan van Rooyen
> "Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me: and the Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in, he shall come, saith the LORD of hosts" (Malachi 3:1).
Swiftly Preparing the Lord's Way
We previously examined the suddenlies of God, seeing how they herald powerful moves of God. "Suddenly" also implies a sense of speed or swiftness. Since January 1998, our hearts have detected an urgency to "swiftly" hasten the preparation of the way of the Lord, with a definite sense that God is about to pour out His Spirit in an unprecedented way!
The Spirit and Power of Elijah
Malachi 3:1 also points to the ministry of John the Baptist. In Luke 1:17 Jesus explains that he was flowing in the "spirit & power" of Elijah, a prophetic anointing preparing the hearts of people for the Messiah. Unlike an Evangelist pointing The Way for unbelievers, the Prophet points The Way for BELIEVERS.
Now, in 1998, this same "spirit & power" of Elijah is being poured out, readying hearts to receive Jesus afresh (Hos 10:12; Rev 2:4). At this hour, however, there is an added dimension to this anointing. It is laced with pure and untainted love of Jesus!
The Love of God is the Key
We read of another John in the Bible. John the Apostle. He walked and talked with Jesus, he saw Him heal, heard Him teach, watched Him die, met Him arisen, and saw Him ascend. He definitely knew God.
He had lived with Him and had seen Him work. John writes and explains in simple and practical terms what it means to have fellowship with God. He is also known as the disciple whom Jesus loved (Jn. 13:25; 21:20). He was included in the "inner circle" and leaned his head on Jesus' breast. He not only listened to the words of Jesus, but he heard His "heartbeat" of Love.
Real Love, an Enigma?
Our world is filled with its words.
Songs, greeting cards, the media, counselors, and romantic novels shower us with notions and dreams of ethereal, idyllic relationships and feelings. Real love, however, is scarce. Caring, selfless giving, sharing, and even dying if need be, seem foreign, almost inappropriate and unattainable entities.
Yet, we unceasingly yearn to love and be loved, but see few living examples of real love. The Apostle John had seen Truth and Love firsthand - he had been with Jesus Who is the embodiment of Love. John became an Apostle of love.
The River of God - a River of Love
The New Testament begins with the Gospels recounting of John the Baptist and the "spirit & power" of Elijah, and closes with the End-Time Revelation given to John, the Apostle of love. It is no coincidence that the Spirit gave it to John - a sign that this age will come to an end with a mighty outpouring of God's Love. The spirit and power of Elijah cradled in the crucible of God's Love.
The River of Renewal presently flowing across the world has one main aim; to expand our capacity to be overflowing "containers" of His love. Restoring our first love for our Bridegroom, this is undoubtedly the most vital groundwork we as believers need in order to accommodate the great end-time harvest of souls.
Don't Miss the River!!
This River of God's Spirit is there to prepare and mature us for God's Love. Let us not miss God and make this move an end in itself, but let us rather flow with it until it reaches its full conclusion and purpose in our lives, which is to have the love of Christ formed within our very beings (Gal 4:19).
Yours in His Love and Anointing

|  | # There is a Shifting of the Wind... |  | |
| | | Communiqué - April 1998
by Jan van Rooyen
There is the smell of Rain approaching...
> "God will pour out His Spirit in an even Greater Measure in response to the cries of His children!! How must we "cry" unto the Lord? With our Praises, our Worship and our Intercession." (Jan van Rooyen)
>
> "And it came to pass at the seventh time, that he said, Behold, there ariseth a little cloud out of the sea, like a man's hand. And he said, Go up, say unto Ahab, Prepare thy chariot, and get thee down, that the rain stop thee not. And it came to pass in the mean while, that the heaven was black with clouds and wind, and there was a great rain. And Ahab rode, and went to Jezreel. And the hand of the LORD was on Elijah; and he girded up his loins, and ran before Ahab to the entrance of Jezreel" (1 Kings 18:44-46).
How to Challenge the prophets of Baal
This story tells of how Elijah summoned God's people and the prophets of Baal to Carmel. There he built an altar to the Lord and his sacrifice was consumed by God's fire that flashed from heaven.
In reaction to this the people of God fell on their faces and worshipped Him. Then Elijah captured the prophets of Baal and had them killed! He also told Ahab to go home and enjoy a good meal because he heard the sound of a mighty storm approaching.
While Ahab was feasting, Elijah climbed to the top of mount Carmel, knelt down with his face between his knees and started praying. (This position is the classical position in which Oriental women give birth and it is no coincidence that Elijah was assuming this very same posture - the posture for giving birth). We must co-operate with and yield to the Holy Spirit in giving birth to the move of God.
Look out towards the sea...
Every now and then Elijah instructed his servant to look out towards the sea. Six times he returned without seeing anything, but the seventh time he reported, "I saw a little cloud about the size of a man's hand rising from the sea" (verse 44).
Reviewing this wonderful story, we see that God responded with two major supernatural miracles, the fire and the rain, and both were in response to something Elijah did.
What is the significance of these signs?
Firstly, the fire consumed Elijah's sacrifice. This represents God's response to sin and carnality. When we come to God through Jesus Christ in genuine repentance, He not only washes our sins away, but He removes every vestige and stronghold of that sin. Elijah's sacrifice represents not only our sins but also our old carnal nature or flesh. When God's judgment falls on flesh, that flesh will be consumed.
Like the fire, the purpose of the cross of Jesus Christ is for our flesh (old nature) to be annihilated. 1 Peter 4:17 tells us that judgment begins at the house of God. We are the house of God, individually as well as corporately.
1 Peter 5:5,6 informs us that we must humble ourselves before God, not exalt ourselves. We have to do the humbling and He will do the exalting! If God has to humble us, we find ourselves in a serious situation because it is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God (Hebrews 10:31).
True Humility destroys Idols
Humility also softens our hearts so that those things we have set up as idols (Baal) in our lives may be destroyed. Once the fire of the Holy Spirit has dealt with us in this way, we are ready to advance to the next step, which is to pray for the outpouring (Acts 3:19).
Elijah went to the top of the mountain to pray. It is necessary for us to separate ourselves from our normal mundane existence and climb the heights of the Spirit.
There where we can breathe the freshness of heaven. There where we can see so far into the spirit realm that we can see the coming rain. But, a word of caution here! If we don't persevere, we might be tempted to give up before we see the end result of our prayers.
Elijah's servant went to look seven times before he actually saw anything.
When Elijah spoke to Ahab, he said that he heard the sound of an advancing storm. He saw this in his heart and he held fast to that vision from God until he saw the manifestation of it in the natural. He saw this even before he started to pray on the mountain.
Persevere!
Be encouraged! Hold fast to the promises of God for revival! Persevere in prayer and intercession. Continue to look for the rain, even if it may appear as small as a man's hand on the horizon. As we continue to pray and give birth in the Spirit, the cloud will turn into a storm and a mighty outpouring of the Spirit.
Yours in His Love and Anointing

|  | # It is Harvest Time! |  | |
| | | Communiqué - December 1999
by Jan van Rooyen
> "Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that the plowman shall overtake the reaper, and the treader of grapes him that soweth seed; and the mountains shall drop sweet wine, and all the hills shall melt.
>
> And I will bring again the captivity of my people of Israel, and they shall build the waste cities, and inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, and drink the wine thereof; they shall also make gardens, and eat the fruit of them.
>
> And I will plant them upon their land, and they shall no more be pulled up out of their land which I have given them, saith the LORD thy God." (Amos 9:13-15)
>
> "...this is the year, of the favour of the Lord..."
Above is a paraphrase of Luke 4:19. Together with the preceding verse it reads as follows:
> "18 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, 19 To preach the acceptable year of the Lord" (Luke 4:18 & 19).
Whilst waiting upon the Lord concerning the new year, we sensed Him saying that 2000 will be "the year of My favour". We sensed that God was saying in the midst of all the millennium propaganda and Y2K fears, that in spite of all we hear and see, He is still in control.
Wars and Rumours of Wars
> Matthew 24:6a reads, "And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled..."
>
> We also read in Luke 18:8b where Jesus asks the question, "...Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?"
We must continue to hold on to Him and His Word in faith and not allow doubts and fears to overrun our lives. 2 Timothy 1:7 clearly states that we have a spirit of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
A simple definition of fear is; False Evidence Appearing Real.
Never before has the Church been challenged in the way we see at the present time! Will we continue to allow circumstances and rumours to create doubts and fears concerning the favourable future of the Church, or will we rise above our fears and misconceptions and take up the inheritance we have in the Lord Jesus Christ?
Take up the Challenge!
Will we take up this challenge to not only stand up and defend our territory, but actually go on the offensive and take back that which the Church has lost through the ages due to the lies of the evil one.
The word "acceptable" in Luke 4:19 has a much deeper meaning than what we see at first glance. A quick word study will reveal some of the wonderful truths locked up in the original languages:
In the Hebrew language it means: to be pleased with, to satisfy a debt, to set affection upon, approve, consent with, delight oneself in, enjoy, to have favour, to be favourable, to like, to be pleased with, have pleasure in, to delight oneself in, good pleasure.
The Greek meanings are: approved, propitious (attended by favourable or suitable conditions). The word "propitious" in Latin is "propitius" and it literally means to fly forward.
Fly on the Wings of the Spirit
We believe that God wants us to fly forward in this new year and new millennium on the wings of His Spirit.
No longer do we have to doubt that His favour is upon us!! God is calling His Church into a place where we can actually experience His favour. A place where we actually experience the fulfilment of the promises given in the Lord Jesus Christ.
For us to get to the place where we are in a position to enjoy all Jesus has provided, will take effort from our side in the sense that we need to place the focus of our entire existence upon Jesus.
It means we will have to count everything else apart from Him as rubbish. It means we must let go of a dualistic mindset with a viewpoint of "God against the devil" to one of God who destroyed all the power of the devil (Heb 2:14; Col 2:14-15).
A study of the Tabernacle of Moses reveals that in the Holy of Holies the Ark of the Covenant was found with the Shekinah glory of God hovering over it. That's all. No one else. Not even the devil. The only person allowed there, and that only once a year, was the Highpriest who came to make Atonement for the sins of the people.
The Way has been Opened
For us who have Jesus, the way has once and for all been opened into the Holiest of all by the perfect sacrifice of Jesus. This means that we, through His shed Blood have free access into the throne room of God. The accuser of the brethren is not there, because he is not welcome and has been defeated.
The scripture does say that the devil accuses us before God's throne, but the only way he can do so is through the lips of Christians who stand before the Throne and give him the right to accuse by us accusing one another.
Let us refrain from speaking against one another simply because we don't understand what God is doing in someone else's life. Let us refrain from speaking death because we don't agree with someone else.
Instead let us intercede for those we have differences with and trust God to move us into unity by His Spirit. Let us trust Him to answer the Prayer of Jesus in John 17.
We believe that this new year the Church has stepped into another level of Gods glory, and that the Lord wants us to enter into the fulfilment of every promise He has given us. The Holy of Holies represents to us the complete fulfilment of every promise that has been given to Jesus and the completion and fulfilment thereof in and through us as the Body of Christ.
Let us believe Him and get rid of everything that would hold us back from entering into His promised Land!
Yours in His Love and Anointing

|  | # The Prophets of Old anticipated this Time |  | |
| | | Communiqué - April 02, 2000
by Jan van Rooyen
We are living in exciting times! Never before in the history of the Church has there been so much activity, anticipation and excitement as at present. The Prophets of old anticipated this time and we read in 1 Peter 1:10;
> "Of which salvation the prophets have enquired and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that should come unto you."
We are certainly living in the time of the Father's Grace where we see that "where sin abounded, grace did much more abound" (Romans 5:20).
Presently we are pressing even further into the calling and the will of the Lord for our lives. One of the challenges that He has placed before us is to trust Him for the transformation of our city.
Transformations Video
Recently we watched a video called "Transformations" by George Otis Jr. In this video he tells of four cities in the world that have been transformed by the Power of the Spirit. Whole cities and communities coming to salvation.
Crime in these cities is shown to come to a stop, with prisons closing down. Drug lords are arrested and alcohol and drug abuse is virtually non-existent. George Otis Jr. says that the video does not even tell the whole story of what the Lord is doing. He says that there are at least another 36 cities in the world that are experiencing the same kind of transformation and revival.
This video is recommended to anyone serious enough about seeing and experiencing transformation. Any believer that wants to renew their vision and passion for the work of the Lord in the earth should see this outstanding video.
For information about this video or to place an order, visit [Transformations DVD](https://www.amazon.com/Transformations-Documentary-n/dp/1930612087/ref=sr_1_1?_encoding=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.-xpMrRd0cYwiWiRFz1-johKJIQm82YIN6RP8b_n9tnE.pVesIJdtq6hIU1AqnyUqVh6iG8lCjFZj7_wLqTnCyVg&dib_tag=se&keywords=transformations+documentary+george+otis&_encoding=UTF8&tag=raininternati-20&linkCode=ur2&linkId=893dcdc4281a39ae0f592f85d1e73e86&qid=1753792696&s=books&sr=1-1-catcorr "Transformations DVD")...
Relaying the Foundations
Supporting Scriptures: Isaiah 28:9-13; Ephesians 2:20; Ephesians 4:11; Isaiah 61:1-4; Hebrews 11:8-10; Luke 3:4-5; Hebrews 12:6-13.
I find in recent times many Believers giving in and succumbing to the pressures of life. Many even fall back to the point of committing sins previously committed when unsaved.
Speaking to Leaders during my travels I hear them say they cannot understand what is wrong with some of their people. Men and women who, having been Christians for many years fall back into sins they were previously set free from.
Annika and I have counseled and prayed. We've instructed hurting Believers to pray more and seek the Face of our heavenly Father. We've given all kinds of counsel, but more often than not, this seems to have aggravated their problems more than anything else.
Prayer and Word study is Important
Please don't misunderstand me here. I am not saying prayer and Word study, etc. is wrong, or does not help. I am saying at times it appears not to have the desired result.
I spoke to the Lord about this and He told me to change my approach. He further explained that this kind of problem comes about when proper groundwork was not laid in a believer's life.
According to the Word, the function of the Five-fold ministry is to equip the saints for the work of the ministry. Too often leaders fail to lay the proper substructure in the lives of new converts.
The converse is also true. Often new believers don't submit to their leaders and are therefore not guided and disciplined or discipled properly.
Lay proper Foundations
Luke 6:46-49 says when a foundation is not laid properly, storms and floods can easily destroy a house. Jesus says those who act in faith on His words will survive the storm.
Many believers in the world today think because they've heard the Word, they have faith. Not realizing that practical application of the Word in every day life is what matters most, they often come close to making shipwreck of their faith as well as their Christian testimony. (see 1 Timothy 1:19 as well as Luke 8:5-15).
Isaiah 28:9-12 tells us that the Lord teaches us precept upon precept, line upon line, here a little and there a little. This speaks of repetition. It speaks of a continuous hearing and obeying. We all know the saying that "repetition is the mother of all learning."
An example from my own life
After leaving school, I trained in the South African Air Force as a Fighter Pilot. Had I known beforehand what was in store for me, I would have thought twice about joining, especially as a Military Pilot.
To make a long story very short, however, I was taught using the principle outlined in Isaiah 28:9-12. The training was literally drilled into us. We repeated the same flight exercises and emergency procedures over and over and over.
Flight Instructors mercilessly let us do the same procedures over and over again. When we thought we had had enough, it seemed that they had only warmed up!
Why did they do this? It was so that flying would become first nature to us. Notice I did not say second nature, I said first nature.
The principle for Victory
This basic principle has brought me through many a trial in my Christian life unscathed. This principle underlies all mentoring and discipling. What am I saying?
The moment my life started to go haywire, I did not have to think about the next step, I reacted to the situation almost instinctively in line with the God's Word. Most of us don't react this way, however. Why?
Simply because our spiritual "joints" are still out of place and have never been corrected. We have not been properly equipped for the task ahead of us. The foundation has not been laid properly. (Also see Word Study [HERE](https://www.raininternational.com/teaching/perfecting-the-church/)...)
We have been the way Hebrews 5:12-14 explains;
> "For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat. For every one that useth milk is unskillful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe. But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil."
Notice carefully what it says here. By reason of use our senses should be exercised to discern both good and evil. How many Christians after many years still struggle to know the will of God for their lives? We meet many of them almost on a daily basis.
Why have the foundations in so many lives not been laid properly? There is no easy answer to this, but it suffices to say the following:
> "What we have at times called love and concern for the new believer has in fact been plain over-protection."
New Believers must be Disicipled and Disciplined
Read Hebrews 12:6-13 again. It is clear that true love would administer equipping and discipline, even when there is pain involved. Those of us who have come to some level of maturity in Christ know, without a shadow of a doubt, that "there is no gain without pain." (Also see 1 Peter 1:6-9).
Another aspect of "foundation laying" is found in the first few verses of Hebrews 6. Verse one gives us the most important requirements for the laying of a good foundation; repentance and faith.
Here I would like to simply share a few thoughts on repentance seeing that we are all pretty well acquainted with the principles of faith.
Repentance - a change of Heart
In its essence, repentance means to have a change of heart (attitude) and mind.
Repentance consists of a true sense of one's own guilt and sinfulness, an apprehension of God's mercy in Christ, an actual hatred of sin (Ps. 119: 28; Job 42:5, 6; 2 Cor. 7:10) and turning from it to God, and a persistent endeavour after a holy life in a walking with God in the way of his commandments.
Romans 12:1-2 gives a good explanation of true repentance. We see here that you and I are transformed by giving our lives (and hearts) fully over to God, and then to be transformed through the renewing of our minds.
The word "renew" in this verse means "to renovate". "Renovate" means to make new or like new by extensive repair or alteration.
Imagine an old lounge suite being renovated. Usually to do a proper job of renovation, the suite is pulled completely apart, so that one eventually only sees just the bare frame sitting there.
It is only then, after the frame has been carefully inspected, and possibly structurally strengthened, that the padding and covers, new cushions and material are replaced.
Labour to enter His rest
This sounds like a lot of work, doesn't it? Well, no-one ever said it was easy to be a Christian. It is important for us to walk in the rest of God (Hebrews 4:11), but this verse tells us that there is a labour involved in entering into that rest.
Every believer must strive to come to the place where they will not give up under any circumstances. If necessary, the old foundations must be ripped up and replaced.
Christian leaders must of necessity be intimately involved in this relaying of the foundations. We must encourage every believer to reach the stage where they will stop at nothing but the best that God has for them.
This comes only through right handling of the Word of Righteousness, which in turn only comes through constant practice!
Prepare the way of the Lord
Luke 3:4-5 says there must be a "straightening" of the paths to prepare the way of the Lord (in our hearts). To straighten the paths, fill up the valleys, and the bringing low of the mountains sounds to me like the relaying of the foundations of our hearts and lives (also see Hosea 10:12).
The way of the Lord must be prepared in our hearts. He must become our foundation! If needs be we must dig deep until we find the Rock who is our only Foundation! (Luke 6:46-49).
Pray with me now:
> "Heavenly Father, I thank you that Jesus came to prepare Your way in my life and relay Your foundations. I ask you to forgive me for every area in my life where I have not allowed Your Spirit to break up the fallow ground. Open my eyes so I can see these fallow areas of my life, so the foundation of Your Son, the Rock, can be laid down properly. Anoint me now to help others who do not have proper foundations.
>
> I ask this in the Name of Your Son Jesus. Amen!!!"
May you walk in His ways and experience His presence.
Yours in His Love and Anointing

|  | # Do you also Experience "dry" Seasons? |  | |
| | | Communiqué - April 09, 2000
From time to time we experience what I term, "dry" seasons in our walk with the Lord. Those times where it seems as if God is far away from us.
During those times it appears we cannot "sense" God's presence and this often leads to us having thoughts and feelings of condemnation.
Most of the time these feelings of condemnation come because we convince ourselves that we have committed some kind of sin, causing the presence of the Spirit to leave us.
Simply draw closer to Him
Now, even though it is quite possible that sin could be the cause, chances are that it is not, and all that is needed is that we simply draw closer to the Lord.
During these dry times you and I tend to forget that in Scripture there is no promise telling us that we will continually "sense" His presence.
In fact, the Bible teaches that we walk by faith and not according to the senses or feelings. We also forget that He has promised never to leave us or forsake us (Heb 13:5).
These "dry" times are more often than not a result of our own prayers, asking our Heavenly Father to increase our hunger for Him.
By the time the "hunger" arrives, we have forgotten our prayers, and we misinterpret what we sense in our spirit with the Lord being "far away."
In reality it is not God that is far away from us, but we sense the increase in our hunger for Him.
Be filled with the Word and Spirit continually
To quench our "hunger" and "thirst" for the Lord, we need to be filled with His Word and Spirit continually.
Over the years I have seen that as Christians grow in spiritual stature, their hunger increases proportionately, and the "milk" of the Word which satisfied them previously, does not do so any longer (Heb 5:12-14; 1 Peter 2:2).
This means that as believers you and I need to delve deeper into the Word, "digging" for God's hidden treasures.
As a service to you, I am now providing Word teachings on this Website that will help you increase in spiritual stature, and will quench your "hunger" for the "meat" of the Word.
Follow this link where [You can Study these Teachings](https://www.raininternational.com/teaching/perfecting-the-church/ "Study these Teachings")...
May our Heavenly Father bless you and cause you to grow as you eat the Bread of Life!!
Yours in His Love and Anointing

|  | # It Pays to Commit Our Ways |  | |
| | | Communiqué - April 16, 2000
It pays to commit our ways...
Praise the Lord! It always pays off when we commit our ways to Him and trust that He brings His will to pass in our lives.
The past 6 months have been times of tremendous change for us, and as we have travelled, we've spoken to ministers and lay-people all over, and one thing has stood out clearly:
God is getting His Church ready and into place to pour out His Spirit once again and in even greater measure than before.
An unprecedented Outpouring
During the past four years we've seen the Spirit being poured out over our nation (South Africa) in unprecedented ways. However, we've come to realize that this has been but a drop in the ocean.
We sense the Spirit saying, as He's said to us before:
> "Enlarge the place of thy tent, and let them stretch forth the curtains of thine habitations: spare not, lengthen thy cords, and strengthen thy stakes" Isaiah 54:2.
During these times of "enlarging the place of thy tent" it sometimes feels as if we are completely exposed to the spiritual "elements" and that God is going on without us. The truth is in fact the He is aligning our lives even more into His perfect will.
Become a burden "caster"
It is during these times that we learn to:
> "Cast thy burden upon the LORD, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved" Psalm 55:22.
We also learn to:
> "Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass" (Psalm 37:5), as well as to, "Commit thy works unto the LORD, and thy thoughts shall be established" Proverbs 16:3.
Presently the Spirit has unctioned us to re-focus and "re-group" as far as our calling is concerned, and as a result we have sensed a fresh anointing and renewed vision to follow Him.
He wants to do it for you
We know that if He is doing this with us, He also wants to do it with you. So, if you sense in your heart a renewed call from the Spirit to follow Him and do what He has called you to do, please pray the following with me:
> "Heavenly Father, Your Word tells me that if I draw close to you, you will draw close to me. I am drawing close to you, right now, Lord, and I release my faith and expect a fresh impartation of your Grace, your Anointing and your Vision into my life. I believe that every yoke of bondage that has tried to hold me back from entering into the fullness you have for me, now simply falls away because of your Anointing. I believe that the Spirit of Grace now thrusts me forward into a new dimension for my life and ministry. I believe I receive, in the Name of Jesus. Amen!!!
Enjoy what God is doing in your life!
Yours in His Love and Anointing

|  | # Salvation for Our Mind |  | |
| | | Dear Friends
As Believers we are required by the Lord to live excellent lives and to live life excellently, not only spiritually but also in the natural.
For many Christians the transition between what we believe spiritually and the way we are supposed to live out our lives from day to day is a constant struggle.
We have all heard the expression, "he/she is so heavenly minded they are no earthly good". This is usually said of someone whose Christian stand and daily lifestyle do not match.
I believe we must be both heavenly minded and of earthly good. The way we accomplish this is through renewing our minds to the Word of God and acting out the Word in our everyday lives.
[Dr. Undrai Fizer](https://fizerinterglobal.org/dr-undrai-fizer "Dr. Undrai Fizer") ( [www.fizerinterglobal.org](https://fizerinterglobal.org/dr-undrai-fizer "Dr. Undrai & Bridget Fizer")) recently published the excellent article "Salvation for Our Mind!" which I am sharing with you today and I believe will be a great blessing in your Christian walk.

##### Salvation for Our Mind! by Dr. Undrai Fizer
(Visit Dr. Fizer on the web at [www.fizerinterglobal.org](https://fizerinterglobal.org/dr-undrai-fizer "Dr. Undrai & Bridget Fizer"))
The Salvation of the Kingdom, brought forth as a result of Christ' obedience of death on the cross, did not come to simply take away our sins, but to also transform our minds. There are many who feel that salvation is merely the eradication of one's sins, but have not yet comprehended the fact that it is also "the leading cause of highly intense transitions of the mind!"
Our "acts of sin" is not God's biggest problem. The "way we think consistently serves as an enemy to the Will and Purposes of God." Unless the way we perceive everything, and I do mean everything, is changed by the [Divine](https://www.raininternational.com/teaching/salvation-for-our-mind/#divine "Divine Life") Life of God, we will forever find ourselves "warring against the Purposes, Intentions, and Directives of God!"
We are not "free" because acts of fornication, adultery, idolatry, and such like, have been removed. We are free as a result of experiencing a transformed and reconciled [mind](https://www.raininternational.com/teaching/salvation-for-our-mind/#mind "Reconciled Mind"). When our minds have been renewed, we will suddenly begin to see ourselves as God sees us... as His very own sons and expressions of His Glorious and Divine Image. If I am free from lust, but yet my mind has not "ascended" into the very Dimensions of the Father and His Son Jesus, I am only "obligating myself to be free from a thing that yet resides in me!" I am warring against my own desire and secret passion. If my mind has not experienced the fearlessness that comes as a result of truly knowing who and what I am, I will forever find myself "competing against the sins that Christ died to free me from!"
##### A "dead mind" thrives in "dead works!"
If my mind has not experienced freedom, I will find myself empowering rituals that were established from the religion of dead works. A "dead mind" will always find itself thriving in "dead works!" Freedom is too much for the "dead mind!" Many have not yet comprehended the fact that being deprived of the experience that comes in possessing the Mind of Christ, "will indeed leave us as a pawn in the enemy's hand!" When we have not become "one with the Truth" of who we are, what we are, and why we are, "we are powerless against the will of the flesh!" The flesh will have it's way with us "simply because ignorance causes us to be one with the flesh." And if we are one with the flesh, "we naturally have power in the flesh."
The "powers of the flesh" are considered "weaknesses in the flesh" according to the Mind of God. He sees the flesh's power "as weakness," while the flesh sees the Power of God "as irrelevant, weak, and unable to save!" This is why the carnal mind is hostile against the law of the God and cannot, and will not, subject itself to Him.
When we are "empowered in our flesh, we are totally deprived of the power of the Spirit." We become too weak in belief, too weak to learn, as well as too weak to comprehend the Divine Principles of the Truth. When the flesh is in power, we are residing in personal failure. As a matter of fact, disobedience is the "father of the flesh." And whoever your "father" is will empower you indeed. Jesus said to the Pharisees "that the lust of their father will be carried out by them!" Fallen men are "the children of disobedience!" Didn't you know that disobedience "has an offspring?" Well, if disobedience has children, how much more are the children of Obedience? Just asking...
##### He awaits to see His Mind in us
Just because "sinful acts" have been eradicated from our D.N.A. does not mean we have experienced the Full Expression of the Father's Divine Mentality. We see the Mind of Christ in action as it relates to His pursuit towards us, His brethren. But now, He awaits to see His Mind in us, as well pursue Him, Our Lord, Saviour, and Brother. Salvation cannot be fully realized until we see the fullness of the reconciliation of our mind. And as long as our minds are imprisoned by a dead work, Salvation will continue to be seen as a "decision card, frustrating obligations, and acts of religion." It will continue to be a "form of godliness while yet denying the power of the Kingdom!"
Salvation will be seen "when the Mind of Christ becomes the mind of those who are reading this!" (smile). We must realize that sin "is not just an act, but the manifestations of a mind that is deprived of the total awakening of the Kingdom and the Authority that is given to it." We may all possess an "intellectual understanding" of the Divine Principle of God, but may lack it's fullness as it relates to our daily life practices, decision making and discernment, and cultural experiences. We may possess an intellectual understanding of the Mentality of Holiness, but it may be the result of "religious perspectives that are based from our personal heritage, history, and sincere ignorance."
This is why many people are "frustrated when it comes to submitting themselves to teaching, counsel, and correction." We feel that the only problem that needed fixing "was our acts of sin." We didn't realize that the way we "think and perceive" was in need of salvation as well. This is why many "good people" are frustrated with God, His Will, and His Intentions. They feel that possessing "a good heart, good intentions, and an honest respect towards humanity" is an expression of the Father's Divine Mind "when in fact, it is not!" They become sore and vexed in spirit when the Father subjects them to a Breaking of the Spirit.
##### What the flesh can't control, it can't understand!
You see, the fallen mind "feasts itself off of good works of the flesh," but it fails miserably in the Comprehension of the Father's Mind. Whatever the flesh cannot control "it will not be able to understand!" The fallen mind desires the power to control it's own destiny. The fallen mind "perverts and manipulates the Truth of God into a thing that accommodates it's own desires, weakness, and ignorance." The fallen mind will never give itself over to die. Whatever it cannot control "it will not be able to comprehend!" The fallen mind seeks to be "good," but it cannot endure the Process that would produce "the Mind of God within!"
There is a Truth from God "that will totally disturb and shake every truth that we previously thought were truths." You see, the Experience of the Reconciliation of the Mind, comes as a result of "living, time, seasons, and choices." As we live, we will find ourselves being introduced to seasons and transitions that will compel us to make definite choices in order to continue effectively in life. And from the severity of the decisions we must make, the Intentions of the Kingdom will become more and more revealed.

|  | # Binding and Loosing: Key Principles |  | |
| | | Prayer and Intercession:
## Binding and Loosing
I. Foundation Scripture: Matthew. 16:18-19, KJV;
> "And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven."
Kenneth S. Wuest Expanded Translation:
> "But as for you, who do you say that I am? And answering, Simon Peter said, As for you, you are the Christ, the Son of God, the living God. And answering, Jesus said to him, Spiritually prosperous are you, Simon Barjona, because flesh and blood did not reveal this to you but my Father who is in heaven. Moreover, as for myself, I also am saying to you, You are Rock \[petros, masculine in gender, a detached but large fragment of rock\], and upon this massive rock \[petra, feminine in gender, feminine demonstrative pro-noun cannot go back to masculine petros; petra, a rocky peak, a massive rock\] I will build my Church. And the councils of the unseen world shall not overpower it. I shall give to you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; and whatever you bind on earth \[forbid to be done\], shall have been already bound \[forbidden to be done\] in heaven; and whatever you loose on earth \[permit to be done\], shall have already been loosed in heaven \[permitted to be done\]. Then He admonished the disciples sharply that they should tell not even one person that He himself is the Christ."
II. Word Definitions:
A. "Bind" = Strong's #1210 = "Deo" = "a primary verb; to bind (in bind, to put under obligation, used of the law, duty; to be bound to one, a wife, a husband" - this speaks of Marriage and Covenant, of that which has been Bound together by the Lord.
B. This is the same as in Matthew 18: 18-19 where it states;
> "Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven."
III. The Key Principle is this:
A. Both of these references in Matthew originally refer to the authority given to the disciples by Jesus so they could apply discipline in the Church.
The disciples had authority to "bind" believers to the Church and authority to exclude or "loose" from the Church those that did not believe.
Being "bound" to the Church means to be in covenant with God through Jesus and with those who are Believers in Jesus Christ. The inference here is the same as the binding together in covenant of a husband and wife in marriage.
B. What you bind (declare legally binding) is what you are!
We are either bound to the Church through Jesus Christ and Christlikeness, or we are bound to the world through the Adamic and fleshly nature.
This binding together defines who we are as spiritual entities. Being bound together in this way gives us our spiritual identity. It shows whether we are allied with the Kingdom of Light or the kingdom of darkness.
Either Christ is bound to us or Adam is bound to us. Adam was killed at the Cross, which means we have been loosed from the Adamic nature, and having accepted Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour, we are now bound to Christ and His nature.
Everything therefore now depends on how we think - how we think determines how we act.
Do we have a Resurrection (victorious) mindset? Are we attacking hell or is hell attacking us?
An excellent example illustrating this point in Scripture is found in Acts 19: 13-16;
> "Then certain of the vagabond Jews, exorcists, took upon them to call over them which had evil spirits the name of the Lord Jesus, saying, We adjure you by Jesus whom Paul preacheth. And there were seven sons of one Sceva, a Jew, and chief of the priests, which did so. And the evil spirit answered and said, Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are ye? And the man in whom the evil spirit was leaped on them, and overcame them, and prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded."
It is clear from these verses that demonic powers recognize who we are in the spiritual realm. Paul was bound to Christ and this identified him clearly.
However, the same could not be said of the seven sons of one Sceva. Their identity was not found in Christ because they were not bound to Him, and this cost them dearly.
This means that if anyone is not bound to Christ, they have no authority over the flesh or the enemy, and it does not matter how much we try to drive to drive out the enemy, if we ourselves are not bound to Christ we are wasting our time.
There is more than just our words
The power of "binding and loosing" is therefore not in saying the words, but through the imparted authority we receive by being bound to Christ.
This then leads us to the place where we can surmise that as Christ was the Light of the world, we are also the light of the world and it is His Light in us that will drive out darkness (Matthew 5:14; John 8:12; John 1:5).
We can conclude from this that even our very presence as Christian Believers in any physical place or situation can put the enemy to flight because the Light within us is greater than the darkness in the world (also see 1 John 4:4).
C. In Matthew 16:18 the Church is Aggressive against the Gates (the access or entrance to any state) of Hell ("Hades" = the "unseen" realm).
In the same way that the "rock" and "church" referred to in this verse does not refer to a physical rock made from stone or a church building made from bricks and mortar, but to Jesus the Rock and the Church made up from living stones or people, so we can surmise that the "gates" of hell possibly does not mean physical gates.
It is clear from Scripture and the world we live in that the unseen spiritual realm influences the natural seen realm by influencing people that are alive on the earth.
Therefore, whoever dictates and controls our thinking influences the way we think about things and this directly influences the way we act and try to influence the people around us, including our circumstances.
People are Gates
We can safely say that people are "gates" through which the spiritual world can allow spiritual ideas and concepts to come into the natural world in order to shape this natural world.
The strategies and schemes that originate in Death and Hell can therefore come into the earth through people who are Gates, just as the Mind of Christ that originates in the Heavens comes into the earth through people who are the Windows (Sluicegates or Floodgates) of Heaven (Malachi 3:10)!
> Matthew 6:10, KJV, "Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven." (Who is supposed to do the will of God?)
Those "gates" who are "bound" to death and hell will produce the fruits of death and hell in the earth, whereas those "sluicegates" who are "bound" to Heaven will produce Christ and His Kingdom in the earth.
Christians are the Floodgates
As Christians we are the floodgates that must "flood" the enemy out of his stronghold.
> In Isaiah 59:19 we read, "So shall they fear the name of the LORD from the west, and his glory from the rising of the sun. When the enemy shall come in, like a flood the Spirit of the LORD shall lift up a standard against him."
In the original language there are no punctuation marks in the way we would use commas, etc.. In the verse above I have taken the liberty to move the comma in order to change the meaning of the sentence.
I do not believe that the enemy is a flood. Scripturally the Spirit of God is compared to water, wind, fire, and oil, so in Isaiah 59:19 the flood comes from the Lord raising His standard against the enemy.
D. Presently the Church is being Directionally Challenged!
It is time for us to discern which Gates are being used by the enemy and attack the Spirits behind these gates and certain situations and circumstances. Once these gates are "shut", and the "sluicegates" of God's people are opened, the glory of God will be brought into the earth.
The Breaker Company must lead the way, drive out the darkness and release His Kingdom by manifesting the character and Light of Christ.
We must be bound to the Most Holy Place and take the Life we receive from there out into the earth.
Remember, we have no veil over our face, and because we are filled with Him, His glory raises up and out of His nature in us! (2 Corinthians 3:13-18).
E. We are Bound to Christ and His Finished Work!
We must agree in the earth with what has already been found covenantally in the Heavens.
(Amos 3:3, "Can two walk together, except they be agreed?")
We are not binding the enemy, but rather with our life and lip binding ourselves to the Person and work of Christ. By not being in agreement with Him we tear ourselves loose from His loving embrace!
In His loving embrace we are filled with His Light and His Glory and it is His presence that nullifies the works of the enemy.
F. God has bound Himself to us:
> 1. Genesis 50:24, "And Joseph said unto his brethren, I die: and God will surely visit you, and bring you out of this land unto the land which he swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob."
>
> 2. "Swore" or "swear" \- Heb; shaba - Eng; shaw-bah: A primitive root; properly to be complete, but used only as a denominative from H7651; to seven oneself, that is, swear (as if by repeating a declaration seven times): - adjure, charge (by an oath, with an oath), feed to the full \[by mistake for H7646\], take an oath, X straightly, (cause to, make to) swear.
>
> 3. What this is saying is that God has "sevened" Himself to us - it is as good as if God spoke out an oath seven times.
IV. How do we apply this in our lives and ministries?
We must bind ourselves to all that which is binding in Christ:
A. "Can two walk together, except they be agreed?" (Amos 3:3).
We cannot say we are walking with the Lord if we do not agree with what He says. This means a laying down of our own agendas and programs. It means we implicitly obey Him and do what he tells us to do.
B. This means you agree with God about:
> 1. Yourself
>
> 2. Your family.
>
> 3. Your Church and Ministry.
>
> 4. Your specific country and the nations.
>
> "For with God nothing shall be impossible. And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her" (Luke 1:37-38).
Mary simply accepted God's Word about her life and acted accordingly. She changed her thinking about herself immediately and her actions followed suit.
It is imperative that you and I do the same!
In His Love and Grace

|  | # Corporate Prayer is Powerful |  | |
| | | Prayer and Intercession:
## Corporate Prayer: Principles
I. Foundation Scripture:
> Matthew 18:19 - 20, "Again I Tell you, if two of you on earth agree (harmonize together, together make a symphony) about - anything and everything - whatever they shall ask, it will come to pass and be done for them by My Father in heaven. For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them." (Amplified Bible)
>
> Matthew 18:19 - 20, "Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven. For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them." (KJV)
>
> Matthew 18:19 - 20, "When two of you get together on anything at all on earth and make a prayer of it, my Father in heaven goes into action. And when two or three of you are together because of me, you can be sure that I'll be there." (Message)
>
> Matthew 18:19 - 20, "Again I say to you, that if two of you shall agree on the earth concerning any matter, whatsoever it may be that they shall ask, it shall come to them from my Father who is in the heavens. For where two or three are gathered together unto my name, there am I in the midst of them." (1889 Darby Bible)
A. The importance of Corporate Prayer cannot be underestimated and is probably one of the most neglected and misunderstood forms of prayer we find described in the Bible. Usually when Christians get together to pray, a whole array of prayers are offered by each individual instead of the group simply bringing a few focused prayers in complete unison before the Lord.
Despite some of the misconceptions that exist, proper corporate prayer is extremely powerful when we truly appreciate its value and perform it correctly. This teaching will explain the principles of Corporate Prayer.
In Acts 2:1 - 2 we read a very famous account of corporate prayer and its powerful result, "And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting." This is just one of the great benefits of Corporate Prayer.
The term "one accord" carries the meaning of having the same mind, or being in agreement mentally about the same thing. It also means to be of "one passion".
(Acts 4:24 - 32 gives another compelling account of the power of corporate prayer)
B. The word "agree" in Matthew 18:19 not only carries the meaning of being in one accord, but goes further; Strong's #G4856 sumphõneõ - soom-fo-neh'-o from Strong's #G4859; to be harmonious, agree (together, with)
The word sumphõneõ is the root of our modern English word, symphony. Symphony carries the meaning of "harmony of sound" such as one would experience when a Symphony Orchestra plays a symphony of music or symphonic musical composition.
On their own, each individual musical instrument may make a wonderful sound, however, when all the instruments play or symphonize together, they form one beautiful harmonious sound carrying with it much deeper emotion and meaning.
The same happens when we agree or symphonize together in corporate prayer. When we all pray together at the same time for the same thing, the power of the Holy Spirit is released in a much greater way, bringing swift breakthroughs and answers to prayer.
> Psalm 133:1 - 3, "A Song of degrees of David - Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity! It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, even Aaron's beard: that went down to the skirts of his garments; As the dew of Hermon, and as the dew that descended upon the mountains of Zion: for there the LORD commanded the blessing, even life for evermore."
C. Towards the end of Matthew 18:19 we read, "... whatever they shall ask, it will come to pass and be done for them by My Father in heaven."
The word "done" is defined by the Strong's Concordance as follows: Strong's #G1096 ginomai - ghin'-om-ahee \- means to generate, to become or come into being, to come into existence, begin to be, receive being, be assembled, come to pass, be finished, be fulfilled, be made, ordained to be, be performed, be wrought.
The meaning conveyed here strongly suggests something which had not yet taken place will take place. I think it even goes further in that it implies something which had not existed before will come into being or into existence.
I believe this not only denotes that a recreative miracle may take place such as when a person has lost a limb, but also in areas where God's people may need breakthroughs, where a breakthrough situation did not exist before, God will bring a breakthrough into being. Areas in our lives where provision is required will also fall into this category.
Recalling when I was still an employee in the secular world, I remember my desire to work for a specific company. Initially when applying for a position with this company, they informed me that the specific position I required did not exist, but that I needed to contact them again in future.
The problem was that I needed to work soon as I needed the income, so I continued to pray and trust the Lord in corporate agreement with other Believers. Not long afterwards when I contacted the company again, they informed me that they now had the exact position I wanted.
I believe God intervened in answer to corporate prayer and "created" the position for me.
D. To conclude my exegesis of Matthew 18:19 - 20, I summarize as follows:
What is Corporate Prayer? Corporate Prayer takes place when at least two or three Believers are present in one place, their unity of faith and prayer being of such a degree that when they harmonize or symphonize together in agreement with God's Will and His Word, God intervenes and brings to pass the specific request. Matthew 18:19 - 20 states Believers may ask for anything and He will command His blessing!
Verse 20 affirms when we gather together in this manner, Jesus is in our midst, and I believe He is in our midst not only to fellowship with us, and we with Him, but He is in our midst to personally bring into being and manifestation the answer and result of our prayer request.
The following points illustrate how we should pray corporately and what we should pray for. These are simply Corporate Prayer Guidelines:
II. According to God's Will 1 John 5:14-15 (also Proverbs 10:24; Psalm 37:4-5)
> "And this is the confidence - the assurance, the \[privilege of\] boldness - which we have in Him: \[we are sure\] that if we ask anything (make any request) according to His will (in agreement with His own plan) He listens to and hears us, And if (since) we \[positively\] know that He listens to us in whatever we ask, we also know \[with settled and absolute knowledge\] that we have \[granted us as our present possessions\] the requests made of Him." (Amplified)
>
> "And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us: And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him." (KJV)
>
> "And this is the confidence which we have before Him, that if we are asking anything according to His will, He hears us. And if we know that He hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the requests which we have requested from Him." (Analytical-Literal Translation)
>
> "And we have an assured confidence that whenever we ask anything in accordance with His will, He listens to us. And since we know that He listens to us, then whatever we ask, we know that we have the things which we have asked from Him."
>
> (1912 Weymouth New Testament)
## III. Pray with all kinds of prayer Ephesians 6:18 (also read Luke 1:1-8)
> "Pray at all times - on every occasion, in every season - in the Spirit, with all \[manner of\] prayer and entreaty ..." (Amplified)
>
> "Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit ..." (KJV)
>
> "Pray in the Spirit at all times with every kind of prayer and request there is ..." (International Standard Version)
>
> "Pray in the Spirit in every situation. Use every kind of prayer and request there is ..." (God's Word Translation)
### IV. Pray with our spirit and our understanding; 1 Corinthians 14:12-15
> "... Then what am I to do? I will pray with my spirit \- by the Holy Spirit that is within me; but I will also pray intelligently - with my mind and understanding; I will sing with my spirit - by the Holy Spirit that is within me; but I will sing (intelligently) with my mind and understanding also." (Amplified)
>
> "... What is it then? I will pray with the spirit, and I will pray with the understanding also: I will sing with the spirit, and I will sing with the understanding also." (KJV)
>
> "... Then what should I do? There are times when I should pray with my spirit, and times when I should pray with my mind." (Contemporary English Version)
V. Pray for all men 1 Timothy 2:1-5 (also see Psalm 33:12)
> "First of all, then, I admonish and urge that petitions, prayers, intercessions and thanksgivings be offered on behalf of all men ..." (Amplified)
>
> "I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men ..." (KJV)
>
> "The first thing I want you to do is pray. Pray every way you know how, for everyone you know ..." (Message)
>
> "Therefore, I urge first of all \[for\] petition to be continually made, prayers, intercessions, \[and\] thanksgivings, on behalf of all people ..."
>
> (Analytical-Literal Translation)
VI. In Conclusion
As Christian Believers we must seek the Lord corporately and apply the principles of corporate prayer diligently and accurately.
Corporate prayer for all people will bring the Presence of God into manifestation on the earth and bring change and revival where religious and demonic strongholds have held cities, nations and continents captive for thousands of years.
Jesus paid the price in full, so let us come into agreement with Him:
> Colossians 2:15, "And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it ..."
In His Love and Anointing

|  | # Ask of the Lord Rain... |  | |
| | | Prayer and Intercession:
## Ask of the Lord Rain in the Time of the Latter Rain
"But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel; And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh" Acts 2:16-17
Notice that it says "shall come to pass". This means a definite occurrence of God's Spirit being poured out. I believe according to Zechariah 10:1 this will happen in answer to the prayers of God's people earnestly asking to be used as vessels from whom God will "pour out of" His Spirit.
We are the containers of His Spirit and a life of continuous close fellowship with Him will cause us to "overflow" and His Glory and Anointing will be "poured out of" our inner most beings.
Take a look at John 7:38-39:
"He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water. (But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive...)"
### The Last Days
The last days referred to in Acts 2:16-17 may be explained as follows:
Scripture teaches us in 2 Peter 3:8, "But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day."
A thousand years is known as a millennium, and presently this world and humanity is entering into the seventh millennium since Creation. We can also say according to 2 Peter 3:8 above we are approaching the seventh day of God's "week" which is the last day(s).
You and I are therefore living in the time of the "last days" as referred to in these verses. However, we are not yet seeing the fullness of this mighty outpouring of the Spirit as prophesied by Joel.
I agree, there are pockets all over the world where the Spirit is being poured out, but generally there is not yet an outpouring on the scale we read about in the Book of Acts.
#### His Glory over All the Earth
A number of verses in Scripture refer to God's Glory covering the earth:
Psalm 72:19, "And blessed be his glorious name for ever: and let the whole earth be filled with his glory; Amen, and Amen."
Isaiah 6:3, "And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is the LORD of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory."
Numbers 14:21, "But as truly as I live, all the earth shall be filled with the glory of the LORD."
Habakkuk 2:14, "For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea."
There is definitely a time and season where the Glory of God will be manifested all over the earth. I believe we are now entering this time where the Glory of God will cover the whole earth.
##### How will this happen?
As I stated previously, you and I as His children are the containers of the Glory. We are filled with His Spirit and His Presence dwells within us. Take note of the following verses:
Romans 8:18, "For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us."
Colossians 1:27, "To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory"
2 Thessalonians 2:14, "Whereunto he called you by our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ."
1 Peter 4:14, "If ye be reproached for the name of Christ, happy are ye; for the spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you: on their part he is evil spoken of, but on your part he is glorified."
The James Murdock translation of the New Testament renders the last portion of Romans 8:18 as, "the glory which is to be developed in us".
The 1912 Weymouth New Testament renders it as, "the glory which is soon to be manifested in us."
###### It is Time to Ask!
We are at a phase in God's dealings with mankind where we must spend more time with Him so His Glory may be developed and manifested in us. You and I have to ask Him to reveal in us anything or any sin which may be a hindrance to the manifestation of His Glory in and through us.
"Ask ye of the LORD rain in the time of the latter rain; so the LORD shall make bright clouds, and give them showers of rain, to every one grass in the field" (Zechariah 10:1).
It is time to ask without giving in to the negative reports you and I hear daily from the voices of negative people, the media and religion. It is time to "...Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you" (Luke 11:9).
When we ask He will give, "...how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?" Matthew 7:11.
###### Ask According to His Will
I believe that asking in this way is in line with the will of God for Us, our Families, our Communities, our Churches and our Nation. The problem we have had is not in the asking, but asking in faith with all our hearts and beings.
"And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us: And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him" (1 John 5:14-15).
"Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much. 17 Elias was a man subject to like passions as we are, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain: and it rained not on the earth by the space of three years and six months. 18 And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth brought forth her fruit" (James 5:16)
NOTE: The word fervent is Gr. energeõ \- which when translated means; with energy, with passion and great burning zeal - almost with righteous anger.
May the Lord grant us to pray and hunger after Him with this kind of energy and fervour!
###### The Testimony of Rev. Frank Bartleman
As you may know, God used the Rev. Frank Bartleman as a powerful intercessor during the time of the Azusa Street Revival of 1906. In his book, "Another Wave of Revival - the keys to revival", he writes the following:
"Only the man who lives in fellowship with divine reality can be used to call the people to God" (page 14).
"I found most Christians did not wait to take on a burden of prayer. It was too hard on the flesh. I was carrying the burden now in ever increasing volume, night and day. The ministry was intense. It was 'the fellowship of His sufferings,' a 'travail' of soul, with 'groanings that could not be uttered' (Romans 8:26-27). Most believers find it easier to criticise than to pray" (page 14-15).
"We may cut ourselves off from God by our spiritual pride, while He may cause the weakest to repent, and go through to victory. The work in our hearts must go deeper than we have ever experienced, deep enough to destroy sectarian prejudice, party spirit, etc., on all sides. God can perfect those whom He chooses... The depth of revival will be determined exactly by the depth of the spirit of repentance. And this will hold true for all people, at all times" (page 19).
"At Pastor Smale's church one day, I was groaning in prayer at the altar. The spirit of intercession was upon me. A brother rebuked me severely. He did not understand it. The flesh naturally shrinks from such ordeals. The 'groans' are no more popular in most churches than is a woman in birth-pangs in the home. Soul-travail does not make pleasant company for selfish worldlings. But we cannot have souls born without it. Child bearing is anything but a popular exercise, and so with a real revival of new born souls in the churches. Modern society has little place for a childbearing mother. They prefer society 'flappers.' And so with the churches regarding soul-travail. There is little burden for souls. Men run from the groans of a woman in travail of birth. And so the church desires no 'groans' today. She is too busy enjoying herself" (page 23-24).
"I found my soul crying out for God far beyond the seeming aspirations of most of the Holiness people. I wanted to go deeper, beneath the mere emotional realm to something more substantial and lasting that would put a rock in my soul. I was tired of so much froth and foam, so much religious ranting and pretension. And the Lord did not long disappoint me" (page 25).
"Dr. Dumble wrote again, for the same paper: 'At Pastor Bartleman's church, meetings are held every night, all day Sundays, and all night every Friday. There is no order of services, they are expected to run in the divine order. The blessed Holy Spirit is the executive in charge. The leaders, or pastors, will be seen most of the time on their faces on the floor, or kneeling in the place where the pulpit commonly is, but there is neither pulpit, nor organ, nor choir. A young lady, for the first time in one of these meetings, came under the power of the Spirit, and lay for half an hour with beaming face lost to all about her, beholding visions unutterable. Soon she began to say, Glory! Glory to Jesus! and spoke fluently in a strange tongue. On the last Sabbath, the meeting continued from early morning to midnight. There was no preaching, but prayer, testimony, praise, and exhortation."
###### We are facing a Dilemma
It is clear to me when I read these passages from Frank Bartleman's book that I have some way to go in order to get back to the place where I am so hungry for the Lord that I will do anything to please Him and to believe Him for His Presence to manifest as described in the book.
What about you? How are you positioned with the Lord at this point in time?
You and I must make a quality decision to spend more quality time in Prayer and the Word if we want to see any outpouring of the Spirit which will remotely resemble what happened at Azusa Street and in Wales.
###### I have seen Glimpses of the Glory
Over the years of ministry I have had the privilege to experience a number of manifestations of the Glory of God. However, these outpourings only happened in our meetings because I had spent weeks and months in Prayer and Fellowship with the Lord.
Most days I spent five to six hours in prayer, aside from the time I would read the Word. By the time I had to preach, the Presence of the Lord was so strong in the meetings that people would be touched by the Spirit even before a note was sung or a Word was preached.
Reading the Gospels I realised that Jesus spent many hours and nights on the mountain by Himself praying to His Father. When He came down, He would meet with the multitudes, and He would heal them and set them free.
John 4:34 reads, "Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work."
John 5:19, "Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise."
John 12:50, "And I know that his commandment is life everlasting: whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto me, so I speak."
In the time Jesus spent with our Heavenly Father, He heard what He had to say to the multitudes and He saw what He had to do for them.
Looking at these simple principles we can clearly see why Jesus was so effective in His ministry and everything else He did.
###### Are we desperate for an Outpouring of His Spirit?
Are we really desperate? All we have to do is to draw close to Him and He will draw close to us:
Hebrews 10:22, "Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water."
James 4:8, "Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded."
Let us get rid of doubt, unbelief and double-mindedness and seek Him in earnest.
###### Let us Pray:
Heavenly Father, I thank You for giving me Jesus. I thank You Lord Jesus for laying Your Life down for me and allowing Yourself to be sacrificed for my sins. Lord, You died for me so I don't have to live for me but for You and the people You allow me to minister to.
Father, I confess I have not sought You with all my heart. I confess I have allowed my first love to grow cold by letting the cares of this world influence me more than Your Spirit. I confess as sin the fact that I have not been praying and spending enough time with You.
Please forgive me! I ask You to not only wash me clean with the Blood of Jesus, but also to give me a hunger and thirst for You like never before. I receive Your forgiveness now and I receive a new hunger and passion for You by faith.
In the Name of Jesus. Amen!
In His Love and Grace

|  | # About Prayer Requests & Prophetic Words! |  | |
| | | Prayer Requests & Prophetic Words!
by Jan van Rooyen 2017.02.09
Can & Should we Pray for every Prayer Request?
> Recently I received a question from someone asking me about the validity of many of the "prophetic words" & "prayer requests" doing the rounds via eMail, WhatsApp™, FaceBook™ & other Social Media, etc.. My response follows below:
We Must use the Discernment the Holy Spirit gave Us:
> There are many "prophecies" & "prayer requests" regarding various political and economic situations in our nation and the world, doing the rounds. In many of them, the Body of Christ is asked to rally together in prayer and intercession. Because of the speed of the Internet, these "words" quickly spread, and many of them are not discerned or checked for accuracy and/or legitimacy.
>
> Firstly, I am not saying that we don't need prophecies, or that these words are wrong. Certainly, in the times we find ourselves in we need every Word from God we can get! However, I am simply saying that before we run with something, we must discern what God's the Heart truly is!
>
> Many of these "words" are also very fear based, and I believe that fear should not be misconstrued as the Word of the Lord!
>
> Now, even though these "words" give prayer as the answer to situations, I don't believe that prayer is the complete solution to it. By saying this, I am also not mitigating prayer, as prayer is definitely important in the Grand Scheme of things.
Regarding Present Political Situations:
> Also, regarding the present situation with politics and politicians, I believe much of the following to be true:
>
> > "24 He takes away understanding from the leaders of the people of the land and of the earth, and causes them to wander in a wilderness where there is no path. 25 They grope in the dark without light, and He makes them to stagger and wander like a drunken man."
> >
> > Job 12:24-25 (KJV)
>
> Where God is not honoured and given His correct place of Authority in a people or nation, the above will be true.
>
> I am convinced that this disregard for God is, and will only be TEMPORARY! However, for this shift to take place, it is imperative that the Church will arise and take Her rightful place as God's Authority in the earth!
Is this God's "final" Word on these Issues?
> Although I do not claim at all that what I am presenting here is God's "final" Word about the issues we are facing as a nation and the world, I do believe this forms at least part of His Word to the Body of Christ at this time.
I Spoke to the Lord about this...
> As mentioned, I have noticed that many of the "prophetic" words being released in recent times have had an emphasis on rallying God's people together to pray.
>
> My enquiry about this revealed that even though prayer is an important part of our walk with God, it must be done in conjunction with other stipulations from the Word. It must "speak forth" and release God's Will!
>
> > "And they continued stedfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers." Acts 2:42 (KJV)
>
> In this very foundational verse, we see that prayer comes at the end - after teaching and doctrine, fellowship with God and the saints, the breaking of bread and sharing of the Word.
Also, the Spirit spoke the following to me recently:
> > "11 Behold, the days come, saith the Lord GOD, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the LORD: 12 And they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east, they shall run to and fro to seek the word of the LORD, and shall not find it. 13 In that day shall the fair virgins and young men faint for thirst." Amos 8:11-13 (KJV)
>
> What I believe He is saying is that even though the Word is being preached across this nation and the world, God's people are not hearing what He is saying. There is not a lack of preaching and teaching. There is a lack of hearing and obviously, implementation of the Word (obedience). This implementation includes accurate Governmental Prayers which declare forth the present Proceeding Word of the Lord.
>
> The way I understand it, before we even dare open our mouths to declare His Will and Purposes in prayer, we must first "become" the very Word we want to pray. We must be so "one" with Christ and His Word that our very physical presence (because of the Presence of the Spirit in us) in any given geographical place or sphere, will shift spiritual atmospheres and dimensions. The Presence of Christ will bring them into alignment with the Heavenlies! A Spiritual Convergence will take place.
>
> This is the way we see Christ operating when He was physically walking the face of the earth. He would simply go about His daily task and travels, and wherever and whenever He arrived somewhere, the spiritual atmosphere shifted so much that demons would cry out, and people would get healed, etc..
Christ is God's Gate!
> Christ Himself was the "portable" place of convergence between the spiritual and the natural. He was God's Gate for allowing Heaven into the earth. We, as Christ's Body, must now become that Gate - that place of convergence!
>
> The praying Jesus did mostly took place on the mountain during the night! These times of fellowship and transacting with His Heavenly Father prepared Him for each day ahead of time.
The Greatest Season for the Church has Now Arrived!
> What I am saying with all of this is that the greatest Season for the Church has now arrived. However, before we will enter the full experience of this new season, a migration must take place! A migration from having an "our needs met" attitude towards a posture of "what are the needs of God?"
>
> Does God have needs? Not really!
>
> However, He does "need" to have His Will and Purposes done in the earth. And, the instrument(s) He has chosen for this purpose? The Church, His People.
>
> The "problem" the Father has with this is that as long as His People are "need" oriented, their focus and prayers will be on themselves. Becoming completely "one" with Christ requires, of necessity, that we take the focus off ourselves and completely onto Him.
>
> The result will be that we migrate into a position where we hear and see what the Father is doing and saying, and where we can do likewise. Our motivation should be the same as that of Christ:
>
> > "Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and TO FINISH HIS WORK."
> >
> > John 4:34 (KJV)
> >
> > "1 I will stand upon my watch, and set me upon the tower, and will watch to see what he will say unto me, and what I shall answer when I am reproved. 2 And the LORD answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it. 3 For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry."
> >
> > Habakkuk 2:1-3 (KJV)
> The time is now for the Church to become accurately aligned with the Will and Purposes of the Father, so these may be made manifest in the earth.
>
> Our eyes must be totally focused on Him, and Him alone. When this takes place to its fullest extent, we will become the Gate(s) of God that will overcome and overrun the gates of hell.
>
> The end result will be that God's Glory will be manifested upon the Church, and we WILL ultimately see His Glory cover the earth like never before!
>
> In the Father's Love and Grace

| | | Disqualifying Motives - Why God can Reject our Service
an Article by Martin Anthony \- [www.aphgroup.co.za](https://www.aphgroup.co.za/ "APH Group")
A Definite Caution
In our sincere service and worship to the Lord, there is a definite caution to believers, to ensure that our deeds and service are acceptable by God's required standards.
Whilst many believers assume that God will accept their effortful service, the qualifying issue of acceptance, is our motive. The greatest question, to re-align motive, is why? Why do we attempt the good deeds and generous, charitable acts that make us feel worthy about ourselves?
There is a satisfying adrenalin that feeds our sensory neurons when we commit acts of compassion, generosity, sympathy and good will. This makes us feel dependable and wanted. Someone needed us and we were there for them. We have met the need of someone else and filled the space of their incompetence and failure. The good news is that we have discovered the art of sharing with our fellow human beings. The bad news is that if there is an over-satisfaction derived from our gracious deeds, we can be boastful and become ultimately proud. Pride can be addictive and drive us to attempt more of these seemingly selfless acts while in fact being self-seeking.
Applauders of Our Own Deeds
Without intending to be glorified or praised by others, internally we become applauders of our own deeds, which by now, could be regarded as achievements.
Some, however, will regularly be attracted to the praise of those who appreciate their kindness and the willingness to help those less fortunate than themselves.
The truth remains that if we praise ourselves or are looking to be praised by others, the motive has become self-seeking and ego inflating.
We are aware that true heroes are those who are publicly acknowledged for their acts of bravery and goodwill and though might not have been expecting praise or acknowledgement, they are commended for their selflessness. Up to this point, there is nothing wrong with being recognized by others, but herein again, lies the danger in becoming self-absorbed and the desperate desire for more accolades of human approval.
The Desire to Serve
Jesus addresses the human emotional desire to serve but more importantly, what it is that drives those desires.
I don't think He was assessing the justification of our motives after our deeds are done, but is posing the challenge, to first examine the motives before we attempt our deeds.
It is a preparation of the heart, will and emotions of the person that becomes more important and valuable to God, than the amount of sacrifice offered.
The internal issues of the heart matter more than the outward expressions and so obedience is validated by the response of inner motivation rather than exhaustive, external activity.
> Matthew 6: "1. Take heed that you do not do your merciful deeds before men, to be seen by them. Otherwise you have no reward with your Father in Heaven. 2. Therefore when you do your merciful deeds, do not sound a trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, so that they may have glory from men. Truly I say to you, They have their reward. 3. But when you do merciful deeds, do not let your left hand know what your right hand does, 4. so that your merciful deeds may be in secret. And your Father who sees in secret Himself shall reward you openly."
The Grand Question
The grand question is "which is worth more to YOU?" What will bring you the greater feeling of satisfaction, achievement and fulfillment? Is it the praise of man or the commendation of God? What makes you feel worthwhile and valuable? Does an unseen act of goodness make you feel like no one is watching? Think again!
It almost seems like Jesus is prescribing a method by which He measures and rewards the good deeds of man.
If what we do, is put on display for acknowledgement, then the praises of man nullifies the commendation of God. That is not to say that we must be negative to compliment or the gratitude of people that have been blessed by us, but simply never to increase the level of our expectations, in terms of human praise or reward.
> Hebrews 11:6, "But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him." (MKJV)
The writer of the book of Hebrews speaks of God as being a rewarder. We know God by the multiple ways He expresses Himself to us but do we know Him as a rewarder?
God is no man's Debtor
God never obligates Himself to man, in any way. In fact, He is no man's debtor and will always ensure that what is due to us will come our way. He even rewards for the deeds others have not seen or noticed.
Jesus speaks of those who receive a good reward for their deeds but also speaks of negative rewards (consequences) of those that are self seeking.
Let us search deep into the motives of our passions and ask ourselves whether what we do will bring us the sense of temporary accomplishment or eternal commendation that comes from our Father who sees in secret. It might be helpful to understand that when Jesus speaks of doing our deeds in secret or even when he talks about 'entering into your closet to pray,' that these are not literal acts but refers to the privacy of motives being restraint. It means that we should know how to enter into the silence of our minds as opposed to publicly flaunting.
A Lifestyle of Worship and Obedience
This should not only apply to good deeds and acts of benevolence, but in every single response to God, be it word, deed or thought, which then becomes a lifestyle of worship and obedience.
> Matthew 6: "5. And when you pray, you shall not be like the hypocrites. For they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, so that they may be seen by men. Truly I say to you, They have their reward. 6. But you, when you pray, enter into your room. And shutting your door, pray to your Father in secret; and your Father who sees in secret shall reward you openly. 7. But when you pray, do not babble vain words, as the nations. For they think that in their much speaking they shall be heard. 8. Therefore do not be like them, for your Father knows what things you have need of, before you ask Him."
Jesus rebukes the Pharisees (read Matt.23) more than people who are not in religious circles. He tries to emphasize the importance of sincere, deliberate and honest intentions as opposed to ritualistic and ceremonial worship for public display.
John speaks of Jesus as being the word being made flesh and living amongst them. When Jesus rebukes the Pharisees for their disconnection from God, the Pharisees felt justified in that they were protecting the Holy Scriptures and defending the interests of God.
Pleasing man rather than God
How did it become possible for them to protect the scriptures while rejecting the "word"? It took a process of habitual religious practices that had become ritualistic because the focus had shifted from pleasing God to pleasing man. Now the opinions and approval of human beings had become more important and vital to their operations than simple obedience to God.
By rebuking them, Jesus was trying to bring about reformation in the way they served God, and not merely to embarrass them. Their rituals had, by this time, become so entrenched into their spirits that their failure to change, led them to conspire the death of Jesus.
As He continues to speak, the disciples of Jesus were beginning to understand what the requirements of heaven were, in order that they may aspire to being acceptable to God. This mental adjustment allows the quality of service to override the quantity.
In Matthew 25, Jesus speaks the parable of the talents and advises that the Kingdom of God operates in the same way.
In commending the servants who were profitable He says "well done."
"Well done" is not the same as "Good job"
"Well done" is not the same as saying "Good job". At first it may appear to be the same but if you were asked to go to the shop and buy a loaf of bread and decided to buy a few packets of groceries out of the kindness of your heart, which will be greater?
Well, it depends on whether you bought the bread or not. Many people do good deeds for God and assume that the quantity will make up for what God expected of them. "Well done", is a compliment to someone who has been asked to do something and carried out their assignment or task to completion. Doing everything else for God, except what He requires, will be futile effort.
The Art of Religious Deception
Jesus addresses the art of religious deception, where people learn how to use religious activity to preoccupy themselves, so that they have no time to obey Him, whilst making it seem to others that they are.
Just as in the time of Jesus, we too can fall into the trap of the Pharisees, when we become more concerned of the impression we make on society rather than responding to the expectations of God.
How often do we declare that "Jesus is Lord of our lives" when in truth, we are the Lord of our lives because He does not control anything in us and nothing we do might be for His glory and not ours.
In Conclusion
We have to remind ourselves, constantly, that our motives are the determining factor when it comes to acceptance or rejection of our service to God. He is constantly assessing us.

|  | # The Benefits of Spirit Led Financial Giving |  | |
| | | Finances and Business - Lesson One
1\. Foundation Scriptures:
> Luke 6:38, "Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again."
>
> 2 Corinthians 9:6, "But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully."
>
> Galatians 6:6 - 10, "Let him that is taught in the word communicate unto him that teacheth in all good things. Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting. And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith."
2\. Introduction
A. Our Heavenly Father wants us to Prosper
> 3 John:2, "Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth."
It is clear from Scripture that it is hte Father's will for His people to prosper. He not only wants us to be spiritually and emotionally prosperous, but He wants us to prosper financially so we can take care of our families as well as spread the Gospel.
> Psalm 35:27, "...Let the LORD be magnified, which hath pleasure in the prosperity of his servant."
>
> Joshua 1:8, "This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way
> prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success."
>
> Job 36:11, "If they obey and serve him, they shall spend their days in prosperity, and their years in pleasures."
>
> Zechariah 1:17, "...Thus saith the LORD of hosts; My cities through prosperity shall yet be spread abroad; and the LORD shall yet comfort Zion, and shall yet choose Jerusalem."
>
> Deuteronomy 8:18, "But thou shalt remember the LORD thy God: for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day."
B. The Lord is raising up His Church as a Generous Giving Church
> Philippians 4:15, "Now ye Philippians know also, that in the beginning of the gospel, when I departed from Macedonia, no church communicated with me as concerning giving and receiving, but ye only. For even in Thessalonica ye sent once and again unto my necessity. Not because I desire a gift: but I desire fruit that may abound to your account. But I have all, and abound: I am full, having received of Epaphroditus the things which were sent from you, an odour of a sweet smell, a sacrifice acceptable, wellpleasing to God."
2 Corinthians 9:1 - 15 ( [Read the entire chapter](https://biblia.com/bible/esv/2-corinthians/9 "Read 2 Corinthians 9:1 - 15"))
It always amazes me how Christians expect their Pastor or Local Church to do the work of the ministry with no finances. When someone says they live by faith believing God to supply their needs, somehow in the minds of Christians they are now exempt from supporting the Lord's work with their substance.
In our own situation we have rentals to pay for our offices, we have to pay the staff who work for us, the vehicles used to do the work of the ministry need fuel in their tanks and their engines need to be serviced regularly. We have office equipment that need maintenance, stationery needs to be printed, etc.
None of the above will be possible if we did not have finances. It costs money to preach the Gospel, even though the Gospel itself is free.
In South Africa where I live, water is free. However, I have to pay a monthly fee to our local civil authorities for the maintenance of the pipes that bring the water to my home, and the maintenance of the water purification plant.
The Gospel is free, but to bring it to people who are in need costs money. It is the job of the Church of Jesus Christ to fund the preaching of the Gospel.
C. The Spirit is raising up Ministries of Finance within the Church
Many Christians in the Church today do not realize what they are called to do. Not everyone is called into the ministry as a Five-fold pulpit ministry (1 Cor 12:29; Eph 4:11). Some are called to pray, some are deacons and elders, others serve in the Church through the ministry of helps, and yet others are raised up as
ministries of finance.
The ministries of finance I am speaking of are people called by the Lord to raise finances for the Kingdom. Men and women who are not satisfied to just place an offering in the basket on Sunday morning, but people who want to raise millions so the Gospel can be preached across their nations and the world.
These men and women are the ones who will generate the resources to start Christian Radio and Television Stations, Christian Banks and Finance Houses, Chritian owned Malls and much more. These are the men and women who will finance the planting of Churches, Bible Schools and Teaching Centers.
Maybe you are one of those?
D. Financial Giving must be done in accordance with Scripture and the Spirit
Financial Giving must be done in accordance with the Word. Believers must give their Tithes to their Local Church as well as give offerings according to the leading of the Lord to those whom He points out.
Jesus is very interested in our financial giving. In Luke 21:2 we read how Jesus was watching people bringing their offerings. It is significant because many of us simply put our money in the offering basket as if no-one is watching us. Jesus is!
In Acts 10:1-4 we see how an unbeliever (Cornelius) continues to honour God with his finances and in verse four it says that these offerings came up as a "memorial" before the Lord.
If God attaches so much value to the offerings of an unbeliever, how much more does He value the giving and offerings of His children?
When we know that God is watching our giving, we must of necessity do it Scripturally and to the best of our ability!
3\. How do we allow the Holy Spirit to lead us in our Giving?
A. His Word cannot fail. It cannot return unfulfilled. We must accept it as infallible!
(Isaiah 55:8 - 11; 2 Timothy 3:15-16)
The first way we are led by the Holy Spirit in our giving is to obey the Scriptures. The Word tells us to give. Therefore we obey His Commandments and we give.
A thundering voice from heaven to tell us to give is not necessary, although the way some Christians live it will probably take a thundering voice from heaven to get them to do something.
B. There are three witnesses that agree (1 John 5:7; John 14:21; John 15:14; John 17:14)
God and His Word are One. He tells us that when we obey His Word, we love Him and He calls us His friends. Jesus goes so far as to say that when we obey Him He will manifest Himself to us.
This means that by simply obeying Him in our giving, we are His friends and he will manifest Himself to us.
C. Jesus is the Living Word (John 1:1, 14)
Jesus is the Living Word and when we walk in His Word we are manifesting Him and we bring His power into manifestation on the earth.
This is even more true when we yield our finances to Him because Luke 16:11 says that He will entrust us with the true riches of the Kingdom.
D. We are His Friends if we Do what He says (John 15:14)
4\. We must be Willing and Obedient
A. If you have received Him, you have the power to become a son of God (John 1:12)
When you are born again by the Holy Spirit, you receive the power to grow into a mature son and daughter of our Father. This does not take place automatically but happens as we walk with Him in faith and obedience.
> Heb 5:13 - 14 tells us that, "For every one that useth milk is unskillful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe. But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil."
One of the ways we become a "son" of the Most High is by obeying Him in our giving.
B. Sons of God are Spirit led (Romans 8:14)
Part of the process of growing into mature sons is to be led by God's Spirit. When the Spirit leads us in our giving, he is grooming us as sons.
We must learn how to follow the leading of the Spirit so we can grow spiritually and in our giving.
C. We must be Willing and Obedient (Isaiah 1:19)
One of the most basic conditions to enjoy God's prosperity in our lives and finances is to be obedient to His instructions. He says in this verse we will "eat the good of the land" if we obey (Isaiah 1:19).
Obedience with our finances will unlock His blessing.
D. We must put the Word into Action (Luke 6:46)
We should not even attempt to call Him our Lord if we are not prepared to do what He says, especially when it comes to our material substance and finances.
To put the Word into action is to act it out in faith. In other words, the Bible tells us to lay hands on the sick so they can be healed, we do it. When tthe Bible tells us to give our finances, we do it because God and His Word are One.
5\. Principles of Spirit led Giving in the Lives of Believers
A. We must work hard; (Romans 12:11; Eph 4:28; 6:5-8; Col 3:22-24; 1 Thes 2:9; 4:11, 12; 2 Thes 3:8-12)
Lazy Christians cannot expect to be blessed by the Lord. God will reward faith that is coupled with hard work. It is also important that we not only work hard, but we must work smart so we do not waste God's time and resources.
To work smart we need to trust Him for His Wisdom to manifest in our lives. Wisdom is the God given ability to apply our knowledge practically at any specific time when a specific situation or need arises.
Many Christians are "jealous" of unbelievers because many of them are exceptionally prosperous.
When we look closely at the way many unbelievers conduct their lives, we find that they work extremely hard and apply the wisdom and knowledge they have gleaned through study and from listening to experienced businessmen and women.
B. We must pay our Debts (Romans 13:6-8)
It is important for us to pay our debts. Many believers owe people money and never make any arrangements to settle these debts. This causes strife and bitterness and the Bible tells us that where there is strife there will also be every evil work (James 3:16).
No one should be able to fault us or find any unethical conduct with regards to our finances. This also includes any moneys owed the Revenue Services (Taxes).
C. We have a Duty to Support those who Preach the Gospel (Rom 15:25-27; Gal 6:6)
From my experience over the years and the Preachers I've met, I know that many who are in ministry have suffered and continue to suffer greatly because they cannot make ends meet financially.
I am in contact presently with a minister who has been pastoring for forty years, yet at the age of almost seventy, he and his wife still have to try and hold down jobs as well as pastor those under their care.
Another minister who has a very prominent prophetic ministry both in South Africa and internationally, and who has also been in ministry for close to forty years, also has to keep working at his job because his congregation members have not yet learnt to be faithful in their giving.
What makes this particular situation so shameful to me is that in this man's congregation there are people who earn in one month what my Pastor friend earns in a year, and yet they cannot "afford" to be faithful in their giving.
We must become willing as Christian Believers to support the work of the Gospel financially with joy and cheerfulness;
> 2 Corinthians 9:7, "Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver."
D. Ministers have a right to be supported (1 Cor 9:4-15; 1 Tim 5:17, 18)
> In verse 14 of 1 Corinthians 9 we read, "Even so hath the Lord ordained that they which preach the gospel should live of the gospel".
I do not think we can get it clearer than this.
I have friends who have preached the Gospel in war zones. I myself have had to go into areas where people have no water or electricity, and where they are living on the bread-line.
Ministers not only have to carry the costs of four-wheel-drive vehicles to get to such places, but they also carry the cost for feeding and clothing these people.

E. Giving must be Motivated by Love (1 Cor 13:3)
In all of our giving our motive must be our love for the Lord. 1 Corinthians 13:3 is clear that even though we may be supporting those who are poor, etc., if our motivation is not the Love of the Father, we are wasting our time.
I believe that if our hearts are truly filled with the Love of God, our hearts will automatically compel us to sow financially into the Kingdom of God.
Jesus was always moved with compassion, and I believe if we are filled with Godly compassion we will be moved to action with regards to our finances.
F. Give Consistently and Systematically (1 Cor 16:1, 2)
These verses show us that we must plan our giving carefully. For our faith to work consistently, we must have a Godly plan of giving and storing up in our heavenly bank account.
> Proverbs 30:25 reads, "The ants are a people not strong, yet they prepare their meat in the summer". This means that even the ants prepare in the prosperous times and store up for the lean times.
When we give consistently, we can trust the Lord to provide for us and reap us a harvest on our giving all year round. This means that we should never have to lack.
> Ecclesiastes 11:1, "Cast thy bread upon the waters: for thou shalt find it after many days."
G. All Believers must Give Together (2 Cor 8:14, 15)
When we give together, our combined financial resources make a much greater impact and through our combined giving we can actually make a difference in the lives of people and in society.
> Leviticus 26:8, "And five of you shall chase an hundred, and an hundred of you shall put ten thousand to flight: and your enemies shall fall before you by the sword."
H. The Bible teaches the Law of Sowing and Reaping
(2 Cor 9:6-8; Phil 4:14-19)
In Genesis 1:11 - 12 the principle of seed producing after its own kind is illustrated. This is also true when we sow financial seed into the good soil of the Kingdom of God.
Financial seeds will produce a financial harvest.
I. We must give to the poor (2 Cor 8:9, 10; Prov 19:17)
In 2 Corinthians 8:9 the words "rich" and "poor" refer particularly to material wealth.
Yes, we can say that Jesus became spiritually poor so we could be spiritually prosperous, yet, He ministered as someone who was spiritually prosperous. He had to be spiritually prosperous to meet the needs of the people whom He ministered to.
However, compared to heaven and what He had before coming to earth, Jesus became "poor" materially. He gave up His wealth and riches in order for our material needs to be met.
Many people say that Jesus was poor when he ministered on earth. Yes, compared to heaven's riches he may have been, but a man does not need a treasurer (Judas) to conduct the financial affairs of a ministry when there is a severe lack.
> John 13:29 reads, "For some of them thought, because Judas had the bag, that Jesus had said unto him, Buy those things that we have need of against the feast; or, that he should give something to the poor."
This verse illustrates that Jesus had such a reputation for giving they thought when Judas left the building late that night he was going to feed the poor!
If these disciples thought that Judas was going out to give to the poor, then there must have been something in the bag to give because poor people do not pay for their goods.
What a reputation! May we have the same in our own lives and ministries.
Yours in His Love and Anointing

| | | Introduction to Kingdom Economics - Lesson One
Foundation Scripture:
> 2 Corinthians 8:5, "They exceeded our expectations by **first dedicating themselves fully to the Lord** and then to us, according to God's pleasure." (TPT)
The Subject of Money
When it comes to the subject of money, wealth, economics, and prosperity, opinions are sometimes varied and discussions may become very heated. Nonetheless, even though the Church of Jesus Christ has "ducked and dived" around this topic for centuries, it is necessary for Christian Leaders and Christians themselves to open up and speak out about it. Why is this so essential?
Firstly, there is one aspect which Jesus spoke about more than many others. **_Money!_** We read in the Scriptures how He often and directly probed into the attitudes and mindsets of His followers regarding wealth and money. So, since this is undoubtedly true, we have a duty to ensure our hearts and minds are aligned with God's will and purposes for our lives. This is especially true when it comes to finances and how the spirit of mammon actually uses the power of money against the Church.
Our Heart Attitude
The introductory title and the verse at the top of this page give us a good indication of where and how God requires us to begin this journey. Our starting point must be our personal relationship and dedication to the Lord. Without our emphatic commitment and devotion to Him, our efforts to make any headway economically will be insubstantial and not of any great magnitude at all.
Christocentric Perspective
In this series of teachings I will discuss with you the Economics of God's Kingdom. His Kingdom and His viewpoint is and will be my point of departure. I will endeavour at all times to maintain a Christocentric posture and perspective.
> Matthew 6:33, "But seek (aim at and strive after) first of all His kingdom and His righteousness (His way of doing and being right), and then all these things taken together will be given you besides..." (AMP) (for your edification read from vv 19-34).
Matthew 6:25-34 refers to the "way" unbelievers (or heathen) conduct themselves with regards to earthly "things." Please notice how often the phrase, "take no thought" is used in this passage. I suggest to you that the _"taking thought"_ is a symptom of fear, anxiety, and worry _(see Luke 21:34; 1 Peter 5:7)_. This is the reason I may from time to time delve into the "operations" of this world's economic system.
(Please note that much of the economics of the world system is based on the principle of "survival of the fittest!" This is a mindset which is based largely on fear, and a fear of lack, with many Christian Believers caught in its trap!)
My intention to investigate the way the world approaches money and economics is purely for informational purposes. This is especially true for us since we as God's sons, live and operate within this system. At the same time, it is also necessary for us to know where and how the enemy may use fear and anxiety to waylay us in our quest to please God economically. Remember, God intends for us to live successfully, yet righteously within the "confines" of the babylonian architecture. Actually, I believe our Heavenly Father "demands" from us that we live far above the systems of babylon!
Furthermore, it is important for us to become aware of the snares and pitfalls the wordly economic system may set for us. We are in this world but not of it. Take a look at a portion of the Lord's prayer for us in John 17:
> John 17:15, "I do not ask that You will take them out of the world, but that You will keep and protect them from the evil one. 16 They are not of the world (worldly, belonging to the world), \[just\] as I am not of the world." (AMP)
The term "world" in these verses DOES NOT refer to the physical world or earth planet we live on. It refers to the system of operation used to "make the world go 'round." This system, as we will discover, is largely of "spiritual" origin and is directly controlled by satan himself. One of the most "powerful" tools or "mechanisms" is his use of entrapment & deception to manipulate the hearts and minds of mankind through the spirit of mammon.
Jesus Destroyed the devil!
It is important for us to remember that the devil was completely and utterly defeated and destroyed by the finished work of the cross. Jesus' horrible death completely annihilated and destroyed any and all "power" satan may have wielded before the crucifixion. Take a look at these authoritative and very conclusive verses:
> 1 Corinthians 2:7, "But rather what we are setting forth is a wisdom of God once hidden \[from the human understanding\] and now revealed to us by God - \[that wisdom\] which God devised and decreed before the ages for our glorification \[to lift us into the glory of His presence\]. 8 None of the rulers of this age or world perceived and recognized and understood this, for if they had, they would never have crucified the Lord of glory." (AMP)
>
> Colossians 2:15, "\[God\] disarmed the principalities and powers that were ranged against us and made a bold display and public example of them, in triumphing over them in Him and in it \[the cross\]." (AMP)
>
> Hebrews 2:14, "Since, therefore, \[these His\] children share in flesh and blood \[in the physical nature of human beings\], He \[Himself\] in a similar manner partook of the same \[nature\], that **by \[going through\] death He might bring to nought and make of no effect him who had the power of death - that is, the devil**..." (AMP)
The BIG Question!
The question which arises now is this: Why does it appear the devil still exerts such "great" influence and dominance in this world? Seemingly it is especially true in the context of economics and money! I will briefly give an answer now, and in the next lesson I will explore the topic in more depth.
A major key for us to grasp is that the devil conducts his "business" in darkness. He is not called the "prince of darkness" for nothing (see Ephesians 6:11-12; Colossians 1:13; John 12:31; 14:30).
Suffice it to say that the "darkness" referred to actually means, "ignorance." In essence it signifies and symbolizes the absence of the knowledge of "light" or the "Light" Himself! When we conduct our lives outside of the knowledge of the Light, or Christ, we actually work, manoeuvre and steer our lives in and "into" darkness... And, in this "twilight gloom" it is very easy to chase phantoms "dreamed" up by satan and the systems of this world (John 3:19; Galatians 3:1; Ephesians 4:17 - 18).

|  | # Kingdom Economics and Biblical Finance |  | |
| | | Introduction to Kingdom Economics - Lesson Two
Foundation Scripture:
> John 14:30, "I will not talk with you much more, for the prince (evil genius, ruler) of the world is coming. And he has no claim on Me. **\[He has nothing in common with Me; there is nothing in Me that belongs to him, and he has no power over Me.\]**" (AMP)
Jesus Destroyed the devil!
In [Lesson One](https://www.raininternational.com/teaching/kingdom-economics-biblical-finance/index.php "Lesson One - The Subject of Money") I concluded with the question, _"Why does it appear the devil still exerts such 'great' influence and dominance in this world?" (Especially when it comes to Economics and Money...)._ To keep our focus on this question and give a fitting and appropriate answer, this lesson will seek to probe and examine it further and on a deeper level.
From the outset it is crucial for us to accept the fact that satan is a defeated foe and ALL his power has been stripped from him. If you and I don't fully accept and come to this conclusion, it leaves the door open for us to think he still has power over us. Having said this, take into account that in spite of his undeniable and total defeat, he will even now attempt to exert influence over our lives. 1 Peter 5:8-9 describes it this way:
> "8 Be well balanced (temperate, sober of mind), be vigilant and cautious at all times; for **that enemy of yours, the devil, roams around like a lion roaring** \[in fierce hunger\], seeking someone to seize upon and devour. 9 **Withstand him; be firm in faith** \[against his onset - rooted, established, strong, immovable, and determined\]..." (AMP)
The devil IS NOT a roaring lion!
Keep this indisputable fact in your mind at all times: the devil IS NOT a roaring lion... Even with maximum effort he can only dream (delusions of grandeur) to imitate the image of a roaring lion! The tactic behind his attempt to _"roam around like a lion roaring"_ is to create an illusion which is in fact a delusion. This misleading notion then deceives the heart of man into submitting to fear (read more about the effects of delusion and deceit in Genesis 3:1-13; Galatians 3:1; Colossians 2:8; 2 Thessalonians 2:11).
Once fear settles into the heart, it's just a matter of time before such a person begins to act on their fears. As a man thinks in his heart, so is he... Proverbs 23:7a(also Numbers 13:33; Matthew 12:34-37; 15:16-20). I have an acronym for fear:
False, Evidence, Appearing, Real
Once the heart reacts and acts on what it perceives to be "reality," the devil's evil battle strategy to take control, is all but won!
Referring to 1 Peter 5:8, notice how Peter begins the verse with, _"...Be well balanced (temperate, sober of mind), be vigilant and cautious at all times..."_ The heart and mind play a crucial role in empowering us to maintain a consistent, even, and peaceful demeanour! This is why it is so important to saturate ourselves in and renew our minds with the Word of God (Romans 12:1-2; Ephesians 4:20-24). It is the hearing of the Word which generates faith in our hearts and displaces fear! (Romans 10:17)(also see Romans 5:5; 1 John 4:18)
"...until Christ is fully formed within you..."
Important! The only way the devil may be able to influence us is in the areas where our hearts and minds are ignorant. Those areas where the Light and knowledge of Christ have not yet fully influenced and transformed our inner man. Remember what Paul says in Galatians 4:19:
> "My little children, for whom I am again suffering birth pangs until Christ is completely and permanently formed (molded) within you." (AMP)
>
> "You are my dear children, but I agonize in spiritual 'labor pains' once again, until the Anointed One will be fully formed in your hearts!" (TPT)
>
> "My children, I feel like a mother who is giving birth to you again. I will continue to feel that kind of pain until you become more completely like Christ." (EasyEnglish Bible)
Also take note of this verse:
> Psalm 91:1, "HE WHO dwells in **the secret place of the Most High** shall remain stable and fixed under the shadow of the Almighty..." (AMP) (I encourage you to read the entire Psalm 91 so you can observe how God protects and watches over us.)
In view of the above verse, I suggest to you that God's "secret place" is in fact Christ! And, furthermore, under the New Covenant we are one with Him:
> 1 Corinthians 6:17, "But the person who is united to the Lord becomes **one spirit with Him**." (AMP) (Also see Ephesians 4:4 & 5:30).
>
> 1 Corinthians 6:17, "But the one who joins himself to the Lord is **mingled into one spirit with him**." (TPT)
Under the New and better Covenant, we are not only seated IN Christ at the Right Hand of the Father, we are ONE with Him. The Passion Translation says we are, "mingled into one spirit with him." Mingle means; _mixed, blended, merged, fused, compounded, and married._ We cannot be more "one" with Him than that! This places us in a definite and indisputable position of rulership and victory with Christ. It is our duty to fully comprehend and embrace this reality. And, when we do, we will truly experience what it means to be hidden from the influence and exploitation of our common enemy!
Now, let us bring these concepts and principles into the context of our foundation Scripture, John 14:30. As with Christ, the devil can find "nothing in us that belongs to him."And, as Christ is, so are we in this world - 1 John 4:17b. Christ is in us and we are in Christ! The devil has nothing in common with us and we no longer have anything in common with him. The finished work of the Lord Jesus Christ completely disconnected and disengaged us from satan and his sham kingdom. And, he (satan) is totally severed and detached from any "relationship" we may have had with him before Christ came into our lives.
Take a look at these awesome verses:
> Exodus 33:21, "And the Lord said, Behold, there is a place beside Me, and you shall stand upon the rock, 22 And while My glory passes by, **I will put you in a cleft of the rock and cover you with My hand** until I have passed by." (AMP) (The rock in this verse clearly refers to our "hiddenness" in Christ, our Rock).
>
> Psalm 83:2, "For, behold, Your enemies are in tumult, and those who hate You have raised their heads. 3 They lay crafty schemes against Your people and consult together against **Your hidden and precious ones.**" (AMP)
>
> Colossians 1:13, "\[The Father\] has delivered and **drawn us to Himself out of** the control and the dominion of darkness and has **transferred us into the kingdom of the Son of His love...**" (AMP)
>
> Colossians 1:13, "...who delivered us from the power of darkness, and **transplanted us into the kingdom** of the Son of his love..." (Godbey New Testament)
Many more verses in confirmation of the above may be quoted. Even so, these provide more than sufficient evidence that our Heavenly Father made generous and plentiful provision for us in and through Christ. He "transplanted" and relocated us unto and into Himself; We are hidden and secured in Him. This special Place (Christ our Rock) shields and protects us from prying and meddlesome demonic eyes and influence! The actual reality is, "they" (the demonic realm) cannot find us because we are hidden away from them. We died with and in Christ and we are DEAD to the realm of darkness!
The "job" which remains for us is to actively and by faith enforce the victory our Heavenly Father has so extensively and lavishly accomplished on our behalf. And, in the context of this series of lessons, our victory must unfold and manifest in the area of economics and finances! In Lesson 3 I will continue to expound how we can practically affirm and manifest the finished work of Christ.

## Kingdom Economics Overview
# Kingdom Economics and Biblical Finance
_by Jan van Rooyen – 2025.10.13_
## Introduction to Kingdom Economics-Lesson One
## Foundation Scripture:
## 2 Corinthians 8:5, "They exceeded our expectations by first dedicating themselves
## fully to the Lord and then to us, according to God's pleasure." (TPT)
## The Subject of Money

The introductory title and the verse at the top of this page give us a good indication of where and how God requires us to begin this journey. Our starting point must be our personal relationship and dedication to the Lord. Without our emphatic commitment and devotion to Him, our efforts to make any headway economically will be insubstantial and not of any great magnitude at all.
## Christocentric Perspective
In this series of teachings I will discuss with you the Economics of God's Kingdom. His Kingdom and His viewpoint is and will be my point of departure. I will endeavour at all times to maintain a Christocentric posture and perspective.

_**Matthew 6:33, "But seek (aim at and strive after) first of all His kingdom and His**_ _righteousness (His way of doing and being right), and then all these things taken_ _together will be given you besides..." (AMP) (for your edification read from vv 19-34)._
Matthew 6:25-34 refers to the "way" unbelievers (or heathen) conduct themselves with regards to earthly "things." Please notice how often the phrase, "take no thought" is used in this passage. I suggest to you that the "taking thought" is a symptom of fear, anxiety, and worry (see Luke 21:34; 1 _Peter 5:7). This is the reason I may from time to time delve into the "operations" of this world's_ economic system.
_(Please note that much of the economics of the world system is based on the principle of_ _"survival of the fittest!" This is a mindset which is based largely on fear, and a fear of lack, with many_ _Christian Believers caught in its trap!)_
My intention to investigate the way the world approaches money and economics is purely for informational purposes. This is especially true for us since we as God's sons, live and operate within this system. At the same time, it is also necessary for us to know where and how the enemy may use fear and anxiety to waylay us in our quest to please God economically. Remember, God intends for us to live successfully, yet righteously within the "confines" of the babylonian architecture. Actually, I believe our Heavenly Father "demands" from us that we live far above the systems of babylon!
Furthermore, it is important for us to become aware of the snares and pitfalls the wordly economic system may set for us. We are in this world but not of it. Take a look at a portion of the Lord's prayer for us in John 17:
_**John 17:15, "I do not ask that You will take them out of the world, but that You will**_ _keep and protect them from the evil one. 16 They are not of the world (worldly,_ _belonging to the world), \[just\] as I am not of the world." (AMP)_
The term "world" in these verses DOES NOT refer to the physical world or earth planet we live on. It refers to the system of operation used to "make the world go 'round." This system, as we will discover, is largely of "spiritual" origin and is directly controlled by satan himself. One of the most _"powerful" tools or "mechanisms" is his use of entrapment & deception to manipulate the hearts and_ minds of mankind through the spirit of mammon.
## Jesus Destroyed the devil!
It is important for us to remember that the devil was completely and utterly defeated and _**destroyed by the finished work of the cross. Jesus' horrible death completely annihilated and**_ _destroyed any and all "power" satan may have wielded before the crucifixion. Take a look at these_ authoritative and very conclusive verses:
_**1 Corinthians 2:7, "But rather what we are setting forth is a wisdom of God once**_ _hidden \[from the human understanding\] and now revealed to us by God - \[that_ _wisdom\] which God devised and decreed before the ages for our glorification \[to lift us_ _into the glory of His presence\]. 8 None of the rulers of this age or world perceived and_ _recognized and understood this, for if they had, they would never have crucified the_ _Lord of glory." (AMP)_
## Colossians 2:15, "\[God\] disarmed the principalities and powers that were ranged
_against us and made a bold display and public example of them, in triumphing over_ _them in Him and in it \[the cross\]." (AMP)_
* * *
## Hebrews 2:14, "Since, therefore, \[these His\] children share in flesh and blood \[in the\
\
_physical nature of human beings\], He \[Himself\] in a similar manner partook of the_ _same \[nature\], that by \[going through\] death He might bring to nought and make_ _**of no effect him who had the power of death-that is, the devil..." (AMP)**_
## The BIG Question!
The question which arises now is this: Why does it appear the devil still exerts such "great" influence and dominance in this world? Seemingly it is especially true in the context of economics and money! I will briefly give an answer now, and in the next lesson I will explore the topic in more depth.
A major key for us to grasp is that the devil conducts his "business" in darkness. He is not called the "prince of darkness" for nothing (see Ephesians 6:11-12; Colossians 1:13; John 12:31; _14:30)._
Suffice it to say that the "darkness" referred to actually means, "ignorance." In essence it signifies and symbolizes the absence of the knowledge of "light" or the "Light" Himself! When we conduct our lives outside of the knowledge of the Light, or Christ, we actually work, manoeuvre and steer our lives in and "into" darkness... And, in this "twilight gloom" it is very easy to chase phantoms "dreamed" up by satan and the systems of this world (John 3:19; Galatians 3:1; Ephesians _4:17 - 18)._
## Proceed to Lesson 2: Jesus Destroyed the devil!
* * *
Introduction to Kingdom Economics - Lesson Two
Foundation Scripture:
John 14:30, "I will not talk with you much more, for the prince (evil genius, ruler) of
the world is coming. And he has no claim on Me. \[He has nothing in common with\
Me; there is nothing in Me that belongs to him, and he has no power over Me.\]"
(AMP)
In Lesson One I concluded with the question, "Why does it appear the devil still exerts such
'great' influence and dominance in this world?" (Especially when it comes to Economics and
Money...). To keep our focus on this question and give a fitting and appropriate answer, this lesson
will seek to probe and examine it further and on a deeper level.
From the outset it is crucial for us to accept the fact that satan is a defeated foe and ALL his
power has been stripped from him. If you and I don't fully accept and come to this conclusion, it
leaves the door open for us to think he still has power over us. Having said this, take into account that
in spite of his undeniable and total defeat, he will even now attempt to exert influence over our lives.
1 Peter 5:8-9 describes it this way:
Once fear settles into the heart, it's just a matter of time before such a person begins to act on
their fears. As a man thinks in his heart, so is he... Proverbs 23:7a (also Numbers 13:33; Matthew
12:34-37; 15:16-20).
The devil IS NOT a roaring lion!

## I have an acronym for fear:
# False, Evidence, Appearing, Real
Once the heart reacts and acts on what it perceives to be "reality," the devil's evil battle strategy to take control, is all but won!
Referring to 1 Peter 5:8, notice how Peter begins the verse with, "...Be well balanced _(temperate, sober of mind), be vigilant and cautious at all times..." The heart and mind play a crucial_ role in empowering us to maintain a consistent, even, and peaceful demeanour! This is why it is so important to saturate ourselves in and renew our minds with the Word of God (Romans 12:1-2; _Ephesians 4:20-24). It is the hearing of the Word which generates faith in our hearts and_ _**displaces fear! (Romans 10:17) (also see Romans 5:5; 1 John 4:18)**_
## "...until Christ is fully formed within you..."
**Important! The only way the devil may be able influence us is in the areas where our hearts** and minds are ignorant. Those areas where the Light and knowledge of Christ have not yet fully influenced and transformed our inner man. Remember what Paul says in Galatians 4:19:
_"My little children, for whom I am again suffering birth pangs until Christ is completely_ _and permanently formed (molded) within you." (AMP)_
_"You are my dear children, but I agonize in spiritual 'labor pains' once again, until the_ _Anointed One will be fully formed in your hearts!" (TPT)_
_"My children, I feel like a mother who is giving birth to you again. I will continue to feel_ _that kind of pain until you become more completely like Christ." (EasyEnglish Bible)_
## Also take note of this verse:
## Psalm 91:1, "HE WHO dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall remain
_stable and fixed under the shadow of the Almighty..." (AMP) (I encourage you to read_ _the entire Psalm 91 so you can observe how God protects and watches over us.)_
In view of the above verse, I suggest to you that God's "secret place" is in fact Christ! And, furthermore, under the New Covenant we are one with Him:
## 1 Corinthians 6:17, "But the person who is united to the Lord becomes one spirit
## with Him." (AMP) (Also see Ephesians 4:4 & 5:30).
_**1 Corinthians 6:17, "But the one who joins himself to the Lord is mingled into one**_ _**spirit with him." (TPT)**_
Under the New and better Covenant, we are not only seated IN Christ at the Right Hand of the Father, we are ONE with Him. The Passion Translation says we are, "mingled into one spirit with _**him." Mingle means; mixed, blended, merged, fused, compounded, and married. We cannot be more**_ **"one" with Him than that! This places us in a definite and indisputable position of rulership and victory** with Christ. It is our duty to fully comprehend and embrace this reality. And, when we do, we will truly experience what it means to be hidden from the influence and exploitation of our common enemy!
* * *
Now, let us bring these concepts and principles into the context of our foundation Scripture, _**John 14:30. As with Christ, the devil can find "nothing in us that belongs to him." And, as Christ is,**_ _**so are we in this world - 1 John 4:17b. Christ is in us and we are in Christ! The devil has nothing in**_ common with us and we no longer have anything in common with him. The finished work of the Lord Jesus Christ completely disconnected and disengaged us from satan and his sham kingdom. And, he _(satan) is totally severed and detached from any "relationship" we may have had with him before_ Christ came into our lives.
## Take a look at these awesome verses:
_**Exodus 33:21, "And the Lord said, Behold, there is a place beside Me, and you shall**_ _stand upon the rock, 22 And while My glory passes by, I will put you in a cleft of the_ _**rock and cover you with My hand until I have passed by." (AMP) (The rock in this**_ _verse clearly refers to our "hiddenness" in Christ, our Rock)._
## Psalm 83:2, "For, behold, Your enemies are in tumult, and those who hate You have
_raised their heads. 3 They lay crafty schemes against Your people and consult_ _together against Your hidden and precious ones." (AMP)_
## Colossians 1:13, "\[The Father\] has delivered and drawn us to Himself out of the
_control and the dominion of darkness and has transferred us into the kingdom of_ _**the Son of His love..." (AMP)**_
## Colossians 1:13, "...who delivered us from the power of darkness, and transplanted
## us into the kingdom of the Son of his love..." (Godbey New Testament)
Many more verses in confirmation of the above may be quoted. Even so, these provide more than sufficient evidence that our Heavenly Father made generous and plentiful provision for us in and through Christ. He "transplanted" and relocated us unto and into Himself; We are hidden and _**secured in Him. This special Place (Christ our Rock) shields and protects us from prying and**_ meddlesome demonic eyes and influence! The actual reality is, "they" (the demonic realm) cannot _**find us because we are hidden away from them. We died with and in Christ and we are DEAD to**_ the realm of darkness!
The "job" which remains for us is to actively and by faith enforce the victory our Heavenly Father has so extensively and lavishly accomplished on our behalf. And, in the context of this series of lessons, our victory must unfold and manifest in the area of economics and finances! In Lesson 3 I will continue to expound how we can practically affirm and manifest the finished work of Christ.
## Go back to Lesson 1: The Subject of Money
## Lesson 3 to follow...

|  | # Apostolic Reformation: An Introduction |  | |
| | | Apostolic Reformation & Restoration
An Introduction
Jesus instructed His disciples in Mark 16 verse 15 to go into all the world and preach the Gospel to every creature.
This was an apostolic command not only to the 12 that were mentored and equipped by Him personally, but also to those who would become disciples in the future. People like you and I.
Jesus ministered as an Old Testament Prophet before His death and resurrection, but after He rose from the dead He spoke and ministered as our Apostle and High Priest (Hebrews 3:1).
As He released and sent His twelve disciples into the world, they were released under His Apostolic Anointing and as such were anointed to function and minister as apostles.
The Initial Sending Forth
The sending forth of the twelve apostles was an apostolic strategy birthed by the Holy Spirit in and through Jesus to reach the world with the Gospel.
This initial sending forth was the beginning of God's thrust to reach the world with His Message of hope. It was the end-time apostolic strategies in embryonic form that would eventually culminate in the greatest revival and harvest of souls this world has ever seen.
There was so much spiritual impetus and anointing released in this sending forth that we are still benefitting today from that release 2000 years ago.
As born-again Spirit-filled believers in the Lord Jesus Christ you and I are the direct result of the apostolic strategy released when Jesus sent His disciples into the world.
As a result of this impartation, the Holy Spirit continues to release apostolic strategies for our day and age, even though the world we live in is vastly different from the time where Jesus lived.
Two Thousand Years of Change
During the past two thousand years there have been many changes in the world.
There have been wars, famines, droughts, etc, but at the same time, God raised up many men and women, churches, ministries and denominations who were prepared to pay the price to follow Him.
These men and women were anointed by the Spirit and He gave them apostolic and prophetic strategies to bring change and deliverance about in the society of their day.
Some of the famous names are, Martin Luther, Count Von Zinzendorf, Rees Howells, Smith Wigglesworth, John Lake, and many, many others.
Foundational Living
Despite the valiant efforts of these wonderful people and many before and after them, their works of faith were only foundational and preparational for the end-time move of God (Hebrews 11).
Their lives were sown as the seeds in the soil of the Spirit that would bring forth the ultimate Apostolic Restoration and Reformation you and I have the privilege of participating in today.
We are once again living in a time where God is releasing apostolic and prophetic strategies on a massive scale. God is not only releasing these strategies, but He is also restoring the ministry of the Apostle and Prophet.
Part and parcel of the vision and mission of RAIN International is to teach, guide and equip Christian Believers utilising the apostolic and prophetic life strategies and skills that God is releasing at this time.
Raising up Breakthrough Believers!
The seminars, schools, and times of ministry we conduct are all geared towards this goal. Raising up breakthrough Christian Believers, churches, ministries, and Christian businesses.
The Church of Jesus Christ is yet to see and experience Her finest hour, and it is our privilege to present you with some of what the Holy Spirit is doing in the Church today.

|  | # Faith comes by Hearing the Word & Faith Moves |  | |
| | | The School of Faith - Lesson One
Faith comes by Hearing the Word & Faith Moves
I. Foundation Scriptures:
> Romans 10:12-17, "For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher? And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things! But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report? So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God."
>
> Galatians 3:22-26, "But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe. But before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed. Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith. But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster. For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus."
II. Faith always comes! Regardless of feelings, etc.
A. From the two passages above it is clear that faith always comes by hearing Scripture. However, the condition for faith to come is that the Word of God is heard. Faith is not a product of human reasoning, but it is a natural outflow of the human spirit when the Word of God is heard.
2 Corinthians 5:7, "for we walk by faith, not by sight". Faith cannot be reasoned out or understood without our spiritual senses. When we rely on our five senses to make sense of faith, we will be misled because the five senses are in the natural realm and not the spiritual.
It is also clear from these passages that there is a time when faith is absent and a time when faith is present.
The element that causes faith to come is the hearing of the Word of God. The moment we switch over from listening to the Word of God with our natural ears to our spiritual ears, faith will come.
We know from Hebrews 11:6 that "without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him".
This means God not only requires faith, but through the hearing of the Word He has provided the means for faith to be generated within the human spirit. As born-again children of God we therefore have no excuse for not having any faith and not walking by faith.
B. Provided we have accepted the Word of God as infallible and we count the Word as the final Authority for life and faith, we do not ever have to doubt again. We can live an overcoming life through faith in the Word of God and the Power of the Holy Spirit.
We can know with a deep assurance that faith will always come to our hearts when we are firmly established in the Word of God (Psalm 112:8; Hebrews 13:9).
Faith will come when we do due diligence to the Word and meditate upon the promises of God (Joshua 1:8; 1 Timothy 4:15).
III. The God kind of Faith comes to Whosoever will
> A. Mark 11:23, "For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith."
From this verse it is seen that not only is faith a product of the heart, but it is released by speaking it forth with the mouth.
When our mouth lines up with the Word of God that is alive in our hearts, and we speak this "alive" Word forth, faith will be released.
This principle is valid for "whosoever" will believe. Any Believer in the Word of God can and will walk in this if they simply apply it.
Are you a "whosoever"? If you are, faith will arise in your heart when you put your trust in the Word of God.
> B. Romans 12:3, "For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith."
Paul says here to the Roman believers that "to every man" that is "among you" the measure of faith has been given. This means amongst the Roman believers in Jesus Christ. He is not referring to non-believers but Christian Believers.
The measure of faith has been given to every person. Through the grace of God this "measure" has "come" to every person who believes in Jesus Christ (Ephesians 2:8). What we do with this "measure" is up to us.
The ability to exercise faith has been built into the human spirit by the Lord, because faith is the means of "exchange" in the spiritual realm. Faith pleases God so He has made full provision for human beings to operate successfully in the "faith" realm.
However, this measure of faith can only come to its full fruition when it is brought into subjection to the Word of God - the first step is to be born-again by the Spirit.
Whosoever therefore submits to the Word of God and exercises their measure of faith, will please God.
> C. Ephesians 2:8, "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God."
Faith as a gift we receive from God when we accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour and we are born-again of the Spirit of God.
In fact, the gift to believe is given the moment we actually hear the Word of Salvation the first time (Romans 10:12-17). This happens because God's Grace is ministered to us by the Holy Spirit (the Spirit of Grace). We are then able to "begin" believing because through grace He has prepared our hearts to receive His Word.
So even the ability to start our walk of faith with the Lord is not something that we initiate, it is entirely initiated by the Lord, so that we cannot boast in our own abilities (Ephesians 2:9).
Galatians 3:22-26 is therefore confirmed in that before God gives us the gift of faith, faith has not yet come, but after we received the gift, faith has come.
So it can be surmised that whenever we are faced with a situation in our lives where we need faith, we can rest assured that faith will always come when we put our trust in the Lord and His Word.
The onus therefore rests entirely upon our shoulders to use this gift for the purpose God designed it for, and this is to please Him by believing Him for the manifestation of His will in our lives.
As a father I expect my children to use the gifts I give them and put them to good use. I do not expect them to pack these gifts away and forget about them.
Two of my children have each received a motorcar from me. I expect them to drive these vehicles and not to leave them parked in the garage all the time. I expect them to take care of these vehicles, service and maintain them, obey the rules of the road, etc.. I want these two vehicles to work for them. These cars must produce for them.
So it is with our faith. God expects us to put this gift of faith we have received from Him to good use! It must work for us and produce God's will and provision in our lives.
> D. Ephesians 2:10, "For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to good works, which God has before ordained that we should walk in them."
God is a God of faith and everything He has created He created by faith. We are His workmanship which means we are the end product of the faith of God.
Not only are we the end product of God's faith, He created us in Christ Jesus "to good works" which means He expects us to produce good works by faith in the same way we have been produced.
In fact it says we are ordained to walk in these good works. Everything we do must of necessity be a result of our faith inspired by the Word of God (James 2:17-20).
> E. 2 Thessalonians 3:2, "...for all men have not faith"
Only those people who have been reborn by the Spirit of God have faith. Those who do not have the Spirit of God dwelling within their spirits, do not have God's faith (Mark 11:22), merely human faith and hope. Refer to [paragraph IIIB](https://www.raininternational.com/teaching/faith-comes-faith-moves/#b3) above.
In Mark 11:22 Jesus says to His disciples "have faith in God". The original rendering actually means, "have the faith of God".
IV. Faith Grows out of the Word, not by Praying for It
> A. Luke 17:5, "And the apostles said unto the Lord, Increase our faith."
>
> The response of Jesus to this request in verse 6 is, "...If ye had faith as a grain of mustard seed..."
He did not say some "magical" words to increase their faith. He did not lay hands on them to increase their faith. He did not tell them to pray for more faith. He did not say, "if you had prayed harder you would have more faith".
He said, "if ye had faith". To me this means that by this particular time Jesus thought they should already have had some measure of faith in their hearts.
We already know from Romans 10:17 that faith comes by hearing the Word of God, which means that had the disciples been listening to Him with their spiritual ears they would at least have faith the size of a mustard seed able to move trees into the sea.
B. Prayer does not cause faith to work; faith causes prayer to work.
One of the worst things we can do is to pray for something before we have an established faith in the Word within our hearts.
The irony is, however, that most Christians do pray in a state of faithlessness and fear. Not an ounce of faith in their prayers, thinking that if they pray more and more, faith will come in their hearts.
Nowhere in scripture are we encouraged to pray for more faith. However, scripture is full of verses where we are encouraged to meditate on the Word, to store up the Word in our hearts, to have faith in the Word, etc..
C. Why pray for something you already have?
I want to use an example to illustrate this point, although the example may be slightly ridiculous;
Many of us have at one time or another worked for a boss. Usually there is an agreement about the amount of salary, as well as when it will be paid (weekly or monthly).
When payday arrives, your boss comes to you and gives you your money, and you go your way.
Won't it be strange if after having received your money you continue to ask your boss to pay you? Or even more ridiculous, we continue to pray to the Lord asking Him to speak to your boss to pay you.
Why pray for something you already have?
From our study so far we have conclusively seen that the Lord has already given us faith - so why ask for it?
God is a Faith God, and because God and His Word are one, His Word is filled with faith. Therefore when we meditate on His Word faith will come in our hearts.
V. Faith moves: it is a Tangible Sspiritual Force (Heb. 11:1).
> A. Hebrews 11:1, "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen."
Not only does faith have substance, but the manifestation of our faith proves the existence of unseen things in the spiritual realm.
B. When we study the Bible it appears as if God created everything out of nothing. However, this is not completely true.
We have seen that God is a Faith God, He does everything by faith, and He has created us to live and move by faith. So faith is the "secret" ingredient that makes it all happen, and it is clear faith comes straight from the heart of God.
The conclusion we can draw is that if God places such a high premium on faith, faith cannot simply be a mental concept or an ideology. We know faith originated with the Spirit of God, that God does everything by and through faith, and faith is a product of the human spirit indwelt by the Holy Spirit when mixed with the Word of God.
The entire creation we see around us has substance which it obtained from the substance of faith when God spoke it all into existence. This tangible manifestation proves the existence of unseen things.
> C. Hebrews 11:3, "Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear."
The creation we see around us was made from something that cannot be seen with the natural eye. If therefore the natural creation has substance, so must the unseen "things" it was created from have substance.
This unseen substance is faith which originated from the heart of God released through the words He spoke in Genesis chapter one.
The Word of God is the "frame" or "container" that shapes the substance of our faith. The word "frame" also means to "fit" something into place, which in our study implicates that the Word causes the substance of our faith (that which we believe for) to be shaped and fitted properly.
Due to the fact that faith has substance, it therefore stands to reason that faith can "move" or exert "pressure" on the natural realm in order for the natural to conform to the Word and Will of God.
> Jesus taught His disciples "When ye pray, say, Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth" (Luke 11:2).
Jesus was saying that it is necessary for us to believe God for the manifestation of His Kingdom and Will on earth as it is in heaven.
Faith is the substance that will move that which is not in line with the Kingdom out of the way and manifest God's will.
Faith will manifest the substance and blessing of Heaven in the earth.
VI. Faith should never be allowed to stand still
A. Because of its dynamic nature, faith should never be allowed to remain static. Faith is filled with the Substance and Life of God and when it is not used, it will grow weak and lose its strength.
Faith was designed by God to be used to manifest His Kingdom in the earth, and when we fail to walk by faith, we do not glorify God (Romans 4:20; 1 Peter 1:7).
B. Before and during the actual creation, God was not resisted by any principality, power or person in fulfilling what He had set out to do.
From this we surmise that it was a much greater act of faith to raise Jesus from the dead, simply because by this time principalities, powers and people were resisting God in every way they could think of.
> Nevertheless, faith always overcomes. 1 John 5:4 reads, "For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith."
Have you been born again by the Spirit of God? If so, you have world overcoming faith dwelling on the inside of your spirit.
With the world overcoming "faith of God" residing inside you, you are able through the leading of the Holy Spirit to manifest the Kingdom of God on the earth.
You can lead people to Christ and get them born again. You can pray for people to be healed. You can believe God to meet all of your physical needs. You can have good relationships. You can be mentally and emotionally sharp.
C. Faith is what pleases God, faith that works through love.
> Galatians 5:6 reads, "For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by love."
Notice that faith "works" through love. Faith is a "doing" word and our faith will only come to fruition when it is allowed to work. However, the driving force behind the working of our faith must be love.
Do you want to be a man or woman of faith? Start filling your heart with the Word of God today and as faith arises in your heart, do the works of faith the Holy Spirit prompts you to do.
In His Love and Grace

|  | # Perfecting the Church |  | |
| | | Word Study:
Perfecting the Church & the Saints
One of the words we study today is the word "perfecting" that comes from Ephesians 4:11,12,13 where we read;
> "And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ."
The Greek is "katartismos" (Strongs #2677 from #2675) meaning, complete furnishing, to equip or complete thoroughly. To repair or adjust, to mend or restore, to prepare or make perfect. To make something complete, or make a complete adjustment. To equip completely.
Latin: "perfectus" from past participle "perficere" meaning to complete or do thoroughly. It also denotes completed and excellent.
It is also used in a Medical way
This word is also used in a medical way, where it has the implication of putting a bone that is out of socket back into place.
Collier's Dictionary defines "perfect" as the following: Free from any defect or imperfection; to have all the proper or essential qualities or characteristics; fully developed or formed. It suggests to correspond exactly to the original; accurate or correct. It means to be highly taught, skilled, accomplished, to be an expert in something.
> In 2 Timothy 2:21 we read, "If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master's use, and prepared unto every good work."
The word "prepared" is the Greek word "hetoimazo" (Strongs #2090, 2092, 2680). It means an internal preparedness and equipping, and it basically has the same meanings as "katartismos" above.
Equip according to Collier's means to "provide or prepare with whatever is necessary for an event or undertaking. According to Old French and Old Norse, it means to build something, or to put a crew in their proper places onboard their ship.
How does it apply to you and I as Christians today?
The Five-fold ministry is called to equip and guide believers for the work of the ministry in such a way that they will not give up, burn out, or fail in whatever endeavour they may embark upon for God.
The Five-fold ministry is also called to put believers back into their "socket" in the Church of Jesus Christ. In other words leadership need to put the Body of Christ back into "joint" as we read in Ephesians 4:16;
> "From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love."
Let us help others in the Body find their place as we find ours.
Yours in His Love and Anointing

|  | # Humility and Meekness |  | |
| | | Word Study:
Humility and Meekness unlock God's Grace
Humility
> Old Testament \- Hebrew - aw-naw (Strong's #6031, 6080); to abase oneself, chasten oneself, submit oneself, gentleness, to weaken oneself.
>
> kaw-nah (Strong's #3665); to bend the knee, to bring down low, to bring into subjection, to be under something.
>
> shaw-fawl (Strong's #8217); depressed (like a hollow in the ground), to be brought to a low point (literally), to lower oneself, to be lowly, to bring/lay/ make/put something lower than its usual place, to debase.
>
> New Testament \- Greek - tap-i-nos (Strong's #5011); depressed (low), humiliated in circumstances or disposition, of low degree (estate), lowly
>
> tap-i-nof-ros-oo'-nay (Strong's #5012); humiliation of mind, modesty, humbleness of mind, humility of mind, lowliness of mind.
>
> tap-i-no-o (Strong's #5013) to depress (low in geographical terms), to humiliate or humble as in the condition of the heart, abase, bring low, humble self.
>
> Latin: humilis - low, base - from humus meaning ground. Innate gentleness and mildness as well as absence of assertiveness and pride, a lack of boastfulness and vanity.
Meekness
A calm temper of mind, not easily provoked (James 3:13). According to the dictionary it means to be; humble, submissive, soft and gentle in nature, patient and mild in disposition and spirit.
Meekness can also be said to be power and authority under control - in our case, submitted to the indwelling Christ.
> Old Testament \- Hebrew - aw-nawv (Strong's #6035); of a humble mind, gentleness, recognizing its own lack and its need of God.
>
> New Testament \- Greek - prah-ooce' (Strong's #4239); mild, gentle, humble.
Galatians 5:22-23 speaks of the fruit of the Spirit. Notice that meekness is mentioned, but not humility. A study of these words will reveal that often in Scripture, and different Bible translations, they are used interchangeably, simply because they have almost identical meanings.
Many examples of humility/meekness exist in the Bible, with the best being Jesus.
Study the following people: Jesus (Matthew 11:29); Abraham (Gen 18:27,32); Job (Job 42:2-6); David (1 Sam 18:18-23); John the Baptist (John 3:29,30); Paul (Acts 20:19); Moses (Ex 3:11); Jacob (Gen 32:10); Joshua (Josh 7:6); Jeremiah (Jer 1:6); Daniel (Dan 2:30); Elizabeth (Luke 1:43).
Humility/meekness is an attitude of the heart and a decision of the mind (will) to follow God and submit to Him out of a desire to please Him. Scripture instructs that we must humble ourselves (1 Peter 5:6), and to "put on" humility like a garment (1 Peter 5:5; Col 3:12). Romans 13:14 says to "put on Christ." This means in submitting to Him, He becomes our humility.
How does this apply to Us Today?
Humble believers willingly submit to God and one another. With Humility as their clothing, their grace to walk before God and the world increases.
It means they always remain in a place where they have a pure heart that sees God (Matt 5:8). They remain utterly dependent upon God, and have a capacity to wait on Him, to separate themselves from self-interest, fame, fortune and recognition. They have a lack and freedom from pride or arrogance, showing a low estimate of their own importance or worth, and are not proud, not pretentious, but courteous and respectful.
The measure of obedience in a person's life is a good yardstick to determine humility. Generally speaking, if a person is disobedient, it also means they are not humble. However, someone may be humble, but disobedient simply because they don't understand God's instruction to them. The opposite of humility is pride.
Being humble has to do with walking in the Truth and Light of Christ. Truth brings submission because it exposes our true self. Realizing what we are really like, produces a humility of mind within us. We see that we can't judge someone else because the capacity for the same sin lies within us, causing us to display God's grace and mercy to those around us.
Isaiah 66:2 tells us that God's eyes are upon those who are humble before Him - He gives attention to them. Humility releases God's grace towards us (James 4:6), with the following consequences;
We follow the Road to honor (1 Kings 3:11-14), it leads to riches (Proverbs 22:4), it brings blessings (2 Chronicles 7:14,15), it guarantees exaltation (James 4:10), it ensures God's presence (Isaiah 57:15), it makes truly great (Matthew 18:4), it unlocks more grace (Prov 3:34; James 4:6).
Yours in His Love and Anointing

|  | # The Humility of Jesus |  | |
| | | Word Study:
The Humility of Jesus
This Word Study comes from one of my spiritual sons in the Lord, Prophet Derek Ward. God has grown this young man into a powerful Prophet and man of God.
I trust you will enjoy this teaching.
Jan van Rooyen
* * *
The Humility of Jesus - by Prophet Derek Ward
Foundation scriptures: Phil 2:5-9; Matt 11:29; 26:63; 27:14
One of the pre-requisites for us to walk in the humility of Jesus, is that we have an intimate walk with Him. To be intimate with Him means that our lives become completely intertwined with His.
Get "mixed up" with Jesus
It means we are "mixed" thoroughly with the Lord. It is out of this intimacy that Christlike character traits are born and developed, and this includes humility.
We can safely say that Jesus was the most humble person to ever walk the face of the earth. He came to this world because He loves us, which means His humility was born out of His love for us.
Because He continually walked in humility before the Father, Jesus enjoyed the favour of God upon His life (Isaiah 66:2; Luke 2:52).
The same can be said of Noah, who "walked with God" and had "found grace" in the eyes of the Lord (Gen 6:8,13,22). We see that Noah did what the Lord expected of him (Gen 7:5).
Was Noah a Humble Man?
Do you think Noah was a humble man? I think he was. His humility caused him to do exactly what God commanded him to do. He trembled at the Word of the Lord. He was not only a hearer of the Word, but also a doer of the Word (James 1:22).
Noah built his house upon the Rock of the Word, and when the flood came, his house (ark) "floated" and was not destroyed.
We see here a beautiful example of the principle where God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble (1 Pet 5:5).
God wanted to destroy the whole earth and all its inhabitants, but because of Noah's humility and reverence for God, God saved Noah and his family.
It can clearly be seen that those who were destroyed by the flood, were proud and arrogant. They did not even recognise that they were displeasing to the Lord, because their lack of obedience to the Word caused them to be deceived (James 1:22).
David pleased the Lord
David was another person who pleased God. He tells us in Psalm 38 of a particularly difficult time in his life. Apart from his troubles, one thing shines through clearly, his humility.
It is clear that in his time of need he did not try to do something on his own, but was fully submitted and humble before the Lord to flow according to His will and purposes.
David's humility caused him to "spill the beans" to the Lord. He told everything, and did not try to hide things from God. He was not wearing a mask or "fig leaves" of his own righteousness (Gen 3:7).
His humility made him speak in total honesty about his sin. In verse 14 we see that he did not even retaliate against his enemies. In this he was the same as Jesus who did not retaliate during His trial before Pilate (Matt 26:63; 27:13-14).
Christlike "retaliation"
What is our reaction when we are wronged? Do we retaliate in defense of ourselves, or do we allow the Spirit of God to work a death in us which will produce a true Christlike character?
A truly humble heart has nothing to defend. It remains unaffected by the actions of those around us.
It will cause love, grace and mercy to flow from us. Humility flows from love in the first place, as we see in Gal 5:22,23.
The first fruit mentioned here is the fruit of love, and it says in verse 23 that there is no law against these fruit.
The Word also tells us that if we walk in love we have fulfilled the law (Rom 13:10; Gal 5:14), which simply means that all the fruit are encompassed and contained in love.
Humility is one of these fruits.
Back to David again
The times and seasons of failure in his life can be traced back directly to his failure to humble himself before the Lord.
The incident with Bathsheba and Uriah (2 Samuel 11:2-17) is an example that we are all familiar with. In 2 Samuel 5:19-25 we see David's army defeat the army of the Philistines.
What was the secret of his success here? Simple, he humbled himself before the Lord by praying and enquiring from Him regarding his warfare strategy.
Can we relate this to us as individuals and a ministry, today? Yes, we can!
We are at present waiting on the Lord concerning strategy on how to bring about transformation in our city. I believe that as we continue to humble ourselves before the Lord, He will give us a definite answer.
Despite the recent setbacks we've experienced, if we continue to bow low before Him and maintain an attitude of humility, He will give us the answers we need!
In His Service

|  | # Near, Wrestle and Contrite |  | |
| | | Word Study:
## Near, Wrestle, Contrite - In Pursuit of Worship
Three words: "nigh" or "near", "wrestle" and "contrite"
To "draw near" or "draw nigh", "to seek" - James 4:8; 2 Chronicles 15:2
Old Testament: "seek" - Heb. darash - daw-rash' - (Strongs #1875); to tread or frequent, to follow, to pursue, to search, to ask, to worship, to seek diligently, to inquire, to make inquisition, to require, to care for, to examine.
New Testament: draw "nigh" or "near" - Gr. eggizo - eng-id'-zo - (Strongs #1448); to make near, to approach, to be close at hand, to come near.
Gr. eggus - eng-goos' (Strongs #1451); to be near as in place or time, to take a hold of (like grabbing someone by the arm, almost forcefully)
To "wrestle" \- Genesis 32:24,25
Old Testament: "wrestle" Heb. abaq - aw-bak' (Strongs #79); to grapple or wrestle, to clasp round. Heb. abaq - aw-bawk (Strongs #80); light particles, dust, powder, small dust.
To be "contrite" \- Psalm 51:17
Old Testament: from Heb. daka - daw-kaw' (Strongs #1792); to crumble, to fall or be beat to pieces, crushed or grounded finely into powder, humble.
How does this apply to us as Christians today?
We must seek Him with all of our hearts, with all of the above attributes applied practically in our seeking. It means a deliberate drawing close to Him and then He will draw close to us.
In His Love and Anointing

|  | # The Cup |  | |
| | | Studies by Francis Frangipane:
## The Cup
When I first came to Christ, the Lord gave me a dream about my future. I thought that everything the Lord said was supposed to occur immediately; I didn't know of the work of preparation and dying to self, of learning patience and maintaining vision through testing that would occur before God's promise would find fulfillment. Consequently, I was filled with ambition. Ambition is the first motive that arises in the spiritually immature. I was like the disciples who, a few days after Jesus' resurrection, were already asking, "Lord, is it at this time You are restoring the kingdom" (Acts 1:6)?
Ambition is very deceptive. It can seem just like obedience, yet because we don't truly know the Lord, the voice we find ourselves obeying is not God's, but our own. Our vision can actually be from God, but our motive be self. Consequently, where there is ambition, James tells us there will soon emerge "disorder and every evil thing" (James 3:16). Why? Because we begin thinking we can accomplish the will of God through the strength of man. We are seeking a breakthrough; God wants to give us brokenness.
The spiritually immature do not recognize their immaturity because they are immature. Thus, they become impatient, fearful and demanding. Because pride blinds the ambitious, we presume we are ready for greater assignments in God. In fact, we become a harder assignment for those who work with us, for our actions continually generate strife.
Ambition seeks to put to death what stands between it and spiritual fulfillment. Yet, it is ambition itself which must die to reach fulfillment. Webster's tells us that ambition is "an earnest desire for some type of achievement or distinction, as wealth or fame, and the willingness to strive for it." The word translated "ambition" in the NAS is rendered "strife" in the King James. Truly, ambition is a major cause for strife, church splits and conflicts within the church.
I thought having a promise from God was the same thing as receiving a command from God. I did not understand what I personally lacked in character nor what I needed to attain concerning faithfulness and thankfulness. These things needed to be worked in me before God would fulfill His promises, miracles and opportunities. What I became for God was more important than what I did for Him.
Today, I am living in the spiritual substance of what was just a dream thirty years ago. My ambitions have suffered greatly, yet my dreams are being fulfilled. While I have not yet arrived at the greatest aspects of my calling, I understand the difference between ambition and true leadership and it is this: Ministry is not a call to lead, but to die.
Every advance that I have made spiritually was preceded by an opportunity to die to self. The power in my life comes from where I have died to self and now live unto Christ.
Do you want to advance spiritually? God will arrange opportunities for you to die to self. You must discern them. Dying to self and its ambition is the means of reaching true spiritual fulfillment. If you react to the opportunity to die with anger or resentment, you will fail to reach fulfillment. However, if you can maintain your vision even while your ambition dies, you will succeed. Death precedes life. Truly, we must die to go to heaven.
We Each Carry Something
A godly vision is not the same thing as a godly motive. Jesus preached that the kingdom of heaven was at hand. This is vision. But He also taught this: If any man would follow Me, let him "take up his cross." If we would follow Him we must pick up our cross. Notice He said we each had a special cross: let him pick up his cross. God has a cross made just for you; it is tailored exactly your size.
En route to your spiritual fulfillment there will inevitably be many opportunities to stumble. I have heard that out of every forty seminary graduates only one retires as a pastor. Few are those who truly carry the cross throughout their lives. But hear me well: If you do not carry your cross, you will undoubtedly carry an offense. Are you carrying offenses now? You will know if you are if, when you look to the past, instead of remembering how God delivered you, you primarily remember how people hurt you.
You see, our definition of success must be transformed. Ambition defines achievement as "A well known name and praise from man." God, however, says success is becoming Christlike. Thus, the Father indeed will allow offenses to come where you will either forgive and become Christlike or become trapped in an offense, a wound or injustice. You ask, "Why would God do that?" Because the goal is not to start churches, take cities or have revivals; the goal is to become Christlike. Christ requires that you forgive offenses and that you use offenses as an opportunity to grow in love.
"Why doesn't the Lord protect me from hardship?" you ask. He does. Your protection is to carry your cross. The cross represents the perfection of love in your life. If you don't carry the cross, you will experience a progressive loss of love, just as Jesus warned, "because iniquity abounds, the love of many grows cold."
The Signs of a True Ministry
On occasion, ministers will approach me and confess they are jealous of how the Lord has used me. They see the outward signs of ministry: churches uniting, large conferences, travel, and book sales. They do not see the cost. I have faced death threats from satanists and persecutions from Christians. For instance, often I see satanic graffiti and vandalism on hosting churches' street signs. I also face the persecution of Christians who have feared the idea of unity. As a result, I've found my name slandered in books and periodicals, even named by misguided Christians as the "antichrist" or a "false prophet."
Once, a host pastor was murdered just before I was to come speak for a conference. So, I brought along our co-pastors Bill and Tim from River of Life. Tim shared with me recently that the first night there he had to search his heart, "Would he step between me and an assailant, would he take a knife for me if I were attacked?"
I appreciated that his answer was "Yes." But in a hundred other conferences, where there has been no one to stand between me and a crazed assailant, I've had to prayerfully consider, "Am I willing to die for the Lord by going to this conference armed only with the gospel?" Additionally, I possessed deep concerns about my children and their safety when I was gone: How do I deal with their vulnerability to potential physical attack?
Any volunteers for my assignment? Like Paul, I've had to say, "I die daily." I have had to die to fears caused by threats and the possibilities of terrible evil, things that most people never think of, not in their worst nightmares. As I said, I have learned that a call to leadership is a call to die. To the degree that we die to self, we lead others. Everything else is just religion without power.
In Matthew 20:17-19 Jesus sought to prepare His disciples for the hardships that awaited them. He warned that a time was coming when He would be mocked, scourged and crucified for the sake of redemption! In the midst of this utterly sober warning, incredibly, the mother of James and John requested of Jesus fulfillment of her family's ambitions! She said, "Command that in Your kingdom these two sons of mine may sit, one on Your right and one on Your left" (vs 21).
She's thinking advancement, position and place; Jesus is thinking scourging, mocking and death. She's looking for the crown; Christ spoke of the cross. Jesus' answer speaks not only to silence her ambitions, He speaks to ours as well:
"You do not know what you are asking for. Are you able to drink the cup that I am about to drink?"
They said to Him, "We are able" (vs 22). In truth, they hadn't the foggiest idea of the price that was to be paid. It was only pride, ignorance and ambition talking. Yet, listen to how Jesus answered them (verse 23): "My cup you shall drink; but to sit on My right and on My left, this is not Mine to give, but it is for those for whom it has been prepared by My Father." Hear this you who desire to lead. Jesus was telling them: I cannot fulfill your ambitions. I can only show you how to die.
"My cup you shall drink," He told them. Yes. And we too shall drink His cup. He described the elements of that cup as He continued, again slaying the dragon of ambition, "...whoever wishes to be first among you shall be your slave; just as the Son of Man did not come to be served but to serve and give Himself as a ransom for many" (verses 27 & 28). If you will advance with Christ, you will drink His cup. What's in the cup? Suffering for the sake of love. Giving yourself "a ransom" for the sake of redemption. This is the cup that leads to destiny: suffering for others.
"But you don't understand Francis, I've been hurt." Excuse me, but I rebuke the spirit of self pity that is tormenting you and I command it to leave. Now, follower of Jesus, grow up! Forgive the offense and let it go. Moreover, not only forgive it, become an intercessor for the one who hurt you. Become one who lays down his life for those who wounded you. This is not a deep truth; it is the basic path of Christ!
Paul wrote of the source of power in his life. He said, "that the surpassing greatness of the power may be of God and not from ourselves; we are afflicted...but not crushed... always carrying about in the body the dying of Jesus that the life of Jesus might be manifested through our mortal flesh" (2 Corinthians 4:7-10). What is this "dying of Jesus"? It is dying the way Jesus died, uttering "Father, forgive them ." The only way ambition can be fulfilled is if we are ambitious to die for the redemption of others.
"For we who live are constantly being delivered over to death for Jesus' sake, that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our mortal flesh. So death works in us, but life in you" (2 Cor 4:11-12). This is the heart of leadership, or true Christian maturity: we are delivered over to death that the very life of Jesus, the actual substance of His character, may be manifested in our mortal flesh. Ambition will fail us, but Paul says, "So death works in us." Death works. Death of self leads to the manifest life of Jesus. This is success; here abides true spiritual fulfillment. Leadership is just a call to die. Spiritual maturity is to drink deeply of the cup of Christ.

|  | # The Jezebel spirit - Part One |  | |
| | | Studies by Francis Frangipane:
## The Jezebel Spirit - Part One
There is a war, a very ancient war, between the spirit of Elijah and the spirit of Jezebel. In this age-old battle, Elijah represents the voice of Heaven: the call to repentance and the return to God. Jezebel, on the other hand, embodies that unique principality whose purpose is to hinder and defeat the work of repentance. Its goal is to silence the prophetic call.
To understand the conflict between the Elijah spirit and the spirit of Jezebel, we must understand these two adversaries as they are seen in the Scriptures. Each is the spiritual counterpart of the other. Is Elijah bold? Jezebel is brazen. Is Elijah ruthless toward evil? Jezebel is vicious toward righteousness. Does Elijah speak of the ways and words of God? Jezebel is full of systems of witchcraft and words of deceit.
Elijah was the spiritual leader of Israel's school of prophets. Under him were the sons of the prophets --- literally hundreds of seers and prophetic minstrels, each of whom proclaimed the word of the Lord. In this war, however, Jezebel had viciously and systematically murdered all of God's servants until only Elijah remained (I Kings 18:22). Elijah, as the last of the prophets, then challenged the 450 prophets of Baal and the 400 prophets of the Asherah to a demonstration of power: their gods against the power of the Lord.
These 850 men were the false prophets, the satanic priests, who ate "at Jezebel's table" (I Kings 18:19). They were the most powerful, demonized individuals that the hosts of darkness could produce. King Ahab, Jezebel's husband, sent a message out to all Israel, and the nation came to witness the conflict between the God of Elijah and the demons of Jezebel.
The terms of the challenge were simple: each was to place an ox upon an altar. Elijah then said, "...you call on the name of your god, and I will call on the name of the Lord, and the God who answers by fire, He is God' (I Kings 18:24). Six hours later the cult priests still could produce no fire; twelve hours passed and Elijah began to mock them, "Call out with a loud voice, for he is a god; either he is occupied or gone aside...perhaps he is asleep and needs to be awakened" (vs 27).
Then, just before evening, Elijah prayed over his sacrifice and, "The fire of the Lord fell, and consumed the burnt offering... And when all the people saw it, they fell on their faces; and they said, 'The Lord, He is God; the Lord, He is God'" (I Kings 18:38-39). Immediately after this powerful witness of the Lord, Elijah instructed the Israelites to gather the prophets of Baal and all of them were put to death.
We would suppose that, at this point, Elijah would have gone into Jezreel and, with the same confidence and power that just accompanied him, destroyed Jezebel, but he did not. In fact---and this may surprise you---Elijah came under spiritual warfare. Jezebel, in a fit of rage, released a flood of witchcraft and demonic power against Elijah that overwhelmed him, swamping his soul with fear and discouragement, causing him to flee.
How could such a mighty prophet turn and run? The answer is not simple. In fact, the situation worsened. We next see Elijah sitting beneath a juniper tree, bewailing that he is no better than his fathers--actually praying that he might die! (I Kings 19:4) What pressure overwhelmed this great man of God that he would fall prey to such fear and discouragement? The spirit of Jezebel.
Now listen, my beloved comrades, and understand. When you take a stand against the principality of Jezebel, even though you resist her temptation and witchcraft, you must guard against the power-demons of Fear and Discouragement, for these will be sent against you to smother your prayer and silence your voice against Jezebel.
The Drama Continues...
The war between Elijah and Jezebel reanimates at peak seasons in the history of man. Remember what the Scriptures speak concerning John the Baptist: he was to be a, "forerunner before \[the Lord\] in the spirit and power of Elijah" (Lk 1:17). Jesus said of John the Baptist, "...he himself is Elijah, who was to come" (Matt 11:14, 17:11-13). John even looked like Elijah.
Like Elijah, John proclaimed the need for repentance wherever he saw sin. One such area was in the adulterous lives of King Herod and his wife, Herodias. When John confronted them, Herodias had him imprisoned (Mk 6:17-19). But who was this manipulating and controlling in the dark, spiritual side of Herodias? As Elijah's spirit ministered through John, so Jezebel had surfaced into this world through Herodias!
What Jezebel did to Elijah in the wilderness, Herodias now released against John: fear and discouragement blanketed the thought life of this mighty servant of God. John the Baptist, who had visibly seen the Spirit descend as a dove upon Christ, who heard the Father's audible voice and beheld the living Son of God, was now asking if what he saw was real (Matt 11:3). The only man alive who had living contact with the Trinity, now doubted the vision.
"And a strategic day came when Herod... gave a banquet" (Mk 6:21)
"Strategic" is the perfect word to describe the timing of this event. For in this war between the spirits of Elijah and Jezebel, Herodias had her daughter dance before Herod, enticing from the king a promise to give whatever she asked. At her mother's request---more truly, at Jezebel's request---she demanded the head of the Baptist be brought to her. Why decapitation? Through John's mouth came the word of God. The audible proclamation of the word of God is the greatest threat to this spirit. To cut off John's head was to silence his mouth and cut off his authority. Thus, temporarily, the confrontation between the spirits of these two eternal enemies subsided.
Elijah Is Coming!
Two thousand years ago, Jesus stated that the ministry of Elijah was not over. He promised, "Elijah is coming and will restore all things..." (Matt 17:11). Malachi the prophet also wrote, "Behold, I am going to send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and terrible day of the Lord" (Mal 4:5). The spirit or influence of Elijah, according to scripture, will return to the affairs of mankind before the great and terrible day of the Lord! His purpose will be to restore all things.
Even as the Lord used the spirit of Elijah, through the Holy Spirit, to empower Elisha and then John the Baptist, so the Lord is raising up an Elijah company of prophets, Spirit-filled men and women sent forth to prepare the way for the return of Christ! Let it also be known that, if Elijah is coming before Jesus returns, so also is Jezebel.
Indeed, do you not see her in our land in the abundance of witchcraft and harlotries? Do you not hear her brazen voice rejecting God's authority and exalting her rebellion in feminism? Have you not beheld her causing even God's "bond-servants" to "commit acts of immorality"? (Rev 2:20) Seeing Jezebel so blatantly manifest herself only confirms that the spirit of Elijah is also here to bring repentance and help prepare God's people for the return of the Lord.
In the Old Testament we see how God destroyed Jezebel. Jehu, the newly crowned king of Israel, was sent by the word of the Lord through Elijah's successor, Elisha, to fulfill God's judgment. As Jehu and his men furiously drove their chariots toward Jezreel, the kings of Israel and Judah came out to meet him, " 'Is it peace, Jehu?' And he answered, 'What peace, so long as the harlotries of your mother Jezebel and her witchcrafts are so many?' '' (II Kings 9:21-22) Jehu slew the two kings. Immediately afterward, he rode into Jezreel to confront Jezebel. The Word tells us that when she saw him, she painted her eyes and adorned her head, and looking out an upper window, she called to him, "'Is it well, Zimri (Jehu), your master's murderer?'
Then he lifted up his face to the window and said, 'Who is on my side? Who?' And two or three eunuchs looked down at him. And he said, 'Throw her down.' So they threw her down, and some of her blood was sprinkled on the wall and on the horses, and he trampled her under foot" (II Kings 9:30-33 NAS/KJ).
There was something in Jehu's spirit that we must possess today in our war against Jezebel. While we must be compassionate toward those captured by Jezebel, Jehu had no mercy, no hope for reform, no compromise or sympathy whatsoever toward this demonic spirit! Jehu "...trampled her under foot.'
While she lay bleeding and near death, he trampled her beneath the feet of his horse!
While we are not called to so physical a demonstration of our resolve, spiritually, like Jehu's heart, we must have no tolerance whatsoever for this spirit! There can be no peace, no relaxing under our "fig tree," until the influence of Jezebel is slain! We must stop living for comfort as long as her harlotries and witchcrafts are so many in our land! We must refuse to settle for a false peace based on compromise and fear, especially when the Spirit of God is calling for "War"!
It is significant that the eunuchs cast her down. Some of you who are reading this have been made eunuchs, slaves to this evil spirit. Today, right now, God is giving you the privilege of participating in the eternal judgment against Jezebel. You cast her down! Side with God, and let the judgments of God come forth!
Remember, this evil spirit desires to silence your spiritual authority by quieting your voice. Thus, even as you repent for any yieldedness toward her seductions, you must learn to speak against jezebel's influence. Use the name of Jesus to command this demon from your children, your family, your church and your soul. Don't let it decapitate you-open your mouth and pray against it!
Pray with us: Spirit of Jezebel, in the authority of Jesus Christ, which He gives us as His servants, we release your captives! We set free your slaves! We speak to the eunuchs, cast down your sympathetic strongholds toward Jezebel! Cast down her evil imaginations from your minds! In the power of Jesus' name, we release you from her psychic grip upon your soul. In the authority of the Living Christ, we proclaim HOLY WAR upon the spirit of Jezebel! Amen.

|  | # The Jezebel spirit - Part Two |  | |
| | | Studies by Francis Frangipane:
## The Jezebel Spirit - Part Two
##### Jezebel's war against Spiritual Authority
The spirit of Jezebel will target, and then seek to divide, the relationship between a pastor and the church intercessors. The antidote? Let the senior leader appreciate, communicate and support his intercessors and esteem their contribution, and let the intercessors set their prayer focus to first seek the spiritual fulfillment of the senior pastor's vision.
Pastors are under siege. At every conference where I speak, various pastors approach and tell of terrible experiences with Jezebel-like battles in their churches. But I don't have to travel to be informed, for not a week passes where I do not hear from pastors from many places via phone, letters or emails; each desperate for specific prayer concerning the conflict in their churches. The war is over one thing: satan seeks to neutralize spiritual authority, and no enemy of hell does this more efficiently than the spirit of Jezebel.
When the Jezebel spirit attacks the church leadership-whether it involves temptation, confusion, witchcraft, fear or discouragement-it will always have as its ultimate purpose to disable the spiritual authority of pastoral leadership. Thus, Jesus promised that the church that overcomes Jezebel will be granted "authority over the nations." (See Rev 2:26-28). The Jezebel spirit seeks to divide, diminish and then displace the spiritual authority God has given church leaders.
Without pastors leading in godly authority, a church simply cannot function: confusion, ambition and chaos reign. True spiritual authority is a source of protection; it is a living shelter that covers and nurtures a home or church. Satan seeks to neutralize the leader in that Christian setting, for if he can strike the shepherd, he can scatter the sheep.
One way in which the Jezebel spirit attacks churches is by dividing intercessors from pastoral authority. We need intercessors, for without them we literally would not move forward. However, when an intercessor assumes that their "prophetic witness" is the guiding light of the church, or when they stand apart from the church leader and offer a different vision than what the leadership presents, it is actually Jezebel infiltrating that church to bring division.
The deception deepens for often those who present a vision different than the pastor's are usually presenting something that could seem godly. It is the spirit or attitude through which they communicate their perceptions that opens the door to Jezebel. The unbending demand that a leader conform to both their prophetic witness and the timing of its implementation is where this spirit gains access and causes division.
Pray The Senior Leader's Vision
The best relationship between a pastor and the church intercessors occurs when intercessors simply pray the vision of the senior church leader. His responsibility is to lead; their responsibility is to intercede. They are not called to try to make their church become like some other church. For to do so becomes a great source of strife and heartache for all.
God has a unique call, or responsibility, that He bestows upon every congregation. That sense of direction and purpose for the local church is usually given to its founding pastor. When he leaves, the vision of the church is passed on to the church elders who, in turn, look for a new pastor who can build upon God's historic call to that congregation.
The senior leader of a church, though he is certainly imperfect, is still appointed by God as the "head of the household" (see Matt 24:45) This senior pastor, working together with his associate leaders, has the responsibility to incorporate into the church structure what the Lord brings to him. This responsibility presents itself through a variety of sources. His "leading" may come personally from the Lord, or it might emerge from counsel with his elders or other peers; it might arise from inspiration from various authors or information gained from conference speakers and other pastors. Not the least of his resources in finding God's heart would be the intercessors in the church. But intercessors must accept that the responsibility to guide the congregational household comes from God to a leader, not to the intercessors. As imperfect as that leader may be, intercessors must learn to not introduce a different vision than that which is currently guiding the congregation through the senior leader.
When one or more intercessors seek to manipulate, pressure or control the church leader with a prophetic witness, beware: the Jezebel spirit is at work. When church members are being disconnected from the senior leader through a whispering campaign and are now following a "prophetic witness," beware: again, the tactic comes from Jezebel. Remember, Jesus said of Jezebel, "She calls herself a prophetess." Beware of self-appointed spiritual authorities in the church that undermine the authority of the senior leader or leadership team.
Instead of following the trail of the discontented prophetic whisperer, pray the vision of the senior pastor. If he does not have a vision, ask him to write one up so you can support his vision and help see it fulfilled. When you have a witness born of prayer, submit it to the senior leader in meekness and let him (or him and his associate ministry team) discern it. But do not be offended if the timing of implementation comes much later or even not at all. Perhaps the word you sensed was not for everyone, but for you.
God Loves Order
One cannot truly know God nor appreciate Him as He is without being awed at the ordered array of His universe. Yes, the Almighty loves life and freedom, but at the substructure of all creation there first had to exist an immutable matrix of order. It was upon this foundation of ordered laws of physics that life emerged. Order is the source of life.
We must remember that the very same eternal mind that created the structured order of the universe, created the church. There is a divine order to the church that begins in being rightly related to Christ and the leadership He gives to the church through people. God is a God of order; order precedes life and freedom. God's mind is ordered; His will is ordered and He gives "orders" to put things in order.
It is important to note that the Lord Himself honors the order He creates. Consider: the Lord appeared to Paul, spoke to him, actually blinded him in His glory, and then said, "rise, and enter the city, and it shall be told you what you must do" (Acts 9:6). Why didn't the Lord just heal Paul? Why didn't He just tell Paul what he had to do? Paul would have to learn that, to reach God, he would have to submit to man. This is God's order and the Lord Himself honored it. Paul had to hear about Jesus from Ananias.
Or consider Cornelius: an angel appeared to this Roman centurion in a dream and told him that a man named Simon Peter would explain to him the way of salvation. Why didn't the angel simply tell Cornelius about Jesus? In the Almighty's universe, God works in an ordered fashion. Before the gentile's could enter the kingdom en masse they would be invited by the Jews, who first accepted Christ. God honored the order He created.
Consider church protocol in the book of Acts. When Philip brought the gospel to Samaria after Pentecost, miracles, conversions and great signs were accomplished. But Philip would not lay his hands upon the Samaritans to receive the Holy Spirit. Why? Because until this time, the Holy Spirit had only spread through the hands of the first apostles. Again, God required His servant to respect the order and authority of the first apostles.
God has an order in your church. However it is established, and in whatever way it is defined, it is a place in order and it should be respected and honored. It does not matter whether you agree or not with the governmental structure within a church; as long as you attend that fellowship you should honor the order. Most congregations are led by a pastor; some, the authority resides in the elder or deacon board; in still others, the authority comes from a bishop or even a prophetic or apostolic ministry. Whatever the structure, honor it and submit to it without dissension. If you feel you cannot grow in that congregation under its present structure, find a church where you can develop spiritually. However, do not cause strife just because you are not familiar or comfortable with the order.
The issue is not the form of government, but the life within the form. Paul wrote of apostles and prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers; John, however, spoke of the church in terms of fathers, young men and children; Peter, on the other hand, taught of elders, shepherds and the flock of God. The issue is not how the order is defined, but to understand that there is an order already established in a church and that order should be honored. It can be changed, but to change a church structure, one must submit to the elders of that church and be in agreement with the senior leader. They will pay the price for change when they are convinced God is leading. But they should not be forced to change just because someone has a problem with a church expression.
When the Jezebel spirit begins to manifest in a church, it immediately seeks to undermine the authority structure. If it cannot directly seduce a leader or cause him to commit immorality (and use that sin to diminish his authority), it will bring strife and division to challenge his authority in the church. Remember, Jezebel was a queen who ruled a king; she assumes a "prophetess" role so she can rule a church. In so doing, she seeks to create a counterfeit authority among groups of individuals in a congregation. The result is that the established order in the church is undermined, true authority is neutralized, leaders are then wearied by endless meetings.
> "And angels who did not keep their own domain, but abandoned their proper abode, He has kept in eternal bonds under darkness for the judgment of the great day." (Jude 1:6).
There is a proper abode for each of us in the order of God. Jesus said that, in the Father's house there were "many dwelling places" and that He was going to prepare a place of each of us. The Father's house is not only a place found in heaven; it is revealed here on earth in the body of Christ. Whenever we seek to break the order of our church, we leave our proper place and enter a realm "kept in eternal bonds under darkness."
My friends, stay loyal to the church order where you worship God. If that order does not fit your temperament, find a church that does. If you cannot find a church, perhaps you are called to start one where your vision of Christianity can be fulfilled. But whatever you do, do not open up to false authority; do not dishonor the authority in your local fellowship through gossip or dissension; rather pray the vision of the senior pastor. For in so doing, you will help bring the church into the destiny of God and serve to fulfill the uniqueness of God's purpose.

|  | # A Word to the Women of God |  | |
| | | Studies by Francis Frangipane:
## A Word to the Women of God
Before I begin this message, let me provide a short disclaimer: although I do encourage women to move freely within the order provided by God in their local churches, my goal is to exalt and release a primary grace that God has placed specifically within women, which the Lord Himself has used in past times to release revival.
The Genesis Distinctions
When the Lord created humankind, He placed unique graces in man and separate, but unique, graces in woman. He told Adam to name the species of life upon earth "and whatever the man called a living creature, that was its name" (Gen 2:19). This "naming" was much more than calling the dog, "Spot." Adam was created with an organizational, administrative capacity which enabled him to identify and define the world around him. By naming the living things, Adam not only brought them into his consciousness, but he introduced order and structure to the human experience. In effect, he defined reality.
Within the genetics of this original man, there also existed the powerful, but dormant, qualities of the woman. While Adam slept the Spirit took from the man a rib. Fashioning it into a woman, the Lord created for Adam a companion who was not only suitable for him, but one who powerfully expanded man's creative capacities. Indeed, the woman brought many new graces into Adam's world that did not formerly exist: the foremost of which was the power to conceive and give birth.
It is important to remember: God created male and female in His image, according to His likeness (Gen 1:26). Of course, in certain ways, both Adam and Eve as individuals possessed reflections of the divine nature. They each could think, speak, dream and create. However, it was in the union of Adam and Eve, in their mutual respect of one another's strengths and graces, that mankind would possess a more perfect expression of the fuller nature of God.
As Adam beheld this first female, he said, "This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man" (Gen 2:23). The term "woman" was a delineation used by Adam, identifying her as a unique variation in the species of man. My wife says, "Think of her as the upgrade." In some ways, she is right, for the nature of the woman was twice refined. Adam was created of earth; the woman, emerged not from the earth, but from the man. She is both more complex and emotionally sophisticated.
Soon Adam began to understand the greatest power of his counterpart, her ability to conceive and bring life into the world. Recognizing this quality, Adam named her "Eve," which meant "life." Eve would play an integral part in the unfolding of life's new beginnings. "She was the mother of all the living" (Gen 3:20).
We Need Revival
The Lord gave Adam a primary ability to name and establish reality; He gave to woman the unique capacity to conceive and then birth reality. The primary strength of each gender is that man establishes, woman births. Remember, these qualities were not merely "human": they were reflections of the divine. Man's ability to bring order to one's world, to take what was random and give it definition and structure is a divine facility; woman's ability to conceive and incubate life, and then deliver life through birth is also an aspect of the divine nature.
Note also that Adam named the woman "Eve" (or "Life") before they had children. God gave the woman an ability not just to have babies, but to release life in a variety of its expressions. In fact, one translation says that Eve means to "enliven." Alone, Adam had been downcast; it was not good that Adam was alone. Eve enlivened Adam in ways no other creature on earth could. Adam could build a house; Eve made it a home. When Adam named Eve "Life," he was not only speaking prophetically of the first mother, but he spoke out of his own experience: Eve brought life into the structure of Adam's world.
While we are speaking in generalities, when we come into the spiritual realm, we see this same divine encoding replicated in the ministries of men and women. Jesus laid the foundation of the church with twelve men, whom He called to be apostles. This didn't mean there would never be women in leadership, but that one of the better skills given man from God was, as stated, the ability to bring order and structure. At the same time, prior to Christ's birth we find Anna, a prophetess, engaged in much prayer and fasting. In my opinion, it is quite possible that this woman was not alone in her intercession, but the leader of a prophetic prayer ministry that lived in anticipation of her times. Women excel in intercession, in spiritual sensitivity and the release of new beginnings. Again, this doesn't excuse men from prayer! For some of the Bible's best examples of intercessors are, indeed, men! We are speaking in generalities in reference to the spiritual tendencies of both gender! s. Neither distinction is more important than the other. Both are absolutely vital for the unfolding of God's will upon the earth.
Today, we are fighting the advance of Satan in many arenas: whether in wars and terrorist attacks or with the ever increasing expansion of iniquity in our world. We need revival. To possess a national awakening, the power God has placed in women must be released. All the efforts of man to establish laws and govern righteously will not truly transform our culture; we need the presence of God poured out. I am talking about something that is greater than government and righteous laws. I am saying that God is raising up and anointing a prayer army of women, who are about to be given even greater power as they intercede before God for their nations.
My Mother's Prayers
I personally know the power of this prayer. In the late sixties, I was a very lost young man living in sin and rebellion. Judging from my appearance, I looked hopeless. Yet, in spite of my outward condition, my dear Catholic mother stood before God for me. Resist as I did, divine power, uniquely born of her prayers, began to hunt me down. Her cries were relentless and unceasing; often she would pray through the night for me. She was pregnant with prayer for her son. In 1970 God finally answered and during the Jesus Movement revival, I came to Christ.
Years later I asked the Lord about this revival. As you may know, it has been part of my assignment to help engender citywide unity and establish prayer, things which precede revival. Yet, to my knowledge, no citywide unity or organized prayer fueled the Jesus Movement. So, I asked the Lord how could a revival occur without a prayer movement at its source? The Lord quickly corrected me saying that there was a great prayer movement: He had heard the prayers of a million praying mothers, each crying to Him for their children.
From all denominations, in a "unity of desperation," God heard the cries of believing mothers. His heart was touched and, as a result, multitudes of sinful kids found repentance and salvation in Jesus Christ. This is the army God desires to release again today, but now with more vision, more power from the Holy Spirit, and with the support of men as well!
Women of God, the fact is, heaven needs you! You have been created by the Almighty to birth breakthroughs on planet earth! God has uniquely designed you with a latent ability to release life through your intercession. Together with you, we men can build and establish, and we are learning to pray, but you have a special grace to release new spiritual beginnings. Whether your prayer focus is for your husband or church leadership, whether you are interceding for your children, city or nation, you possess in your spirit the seed-realities that, through prayer, can release God's life into the world.
Yes, indeed, there is a battle; there still exists "enmity between \[the serpent\] and the woman" (Gen 3:15). Satan especially hates you because it was your seed that bruised the serpent's head. It is amazing to me that God chose to bring His Son into the world, not through the heavens nor even through a woman impregnated by man, but through a woman made pregnant by God! God Himself came to earth through the woman's power to give birth!
Today the Lord is giving women a new grace, a new confidence against the powers of hell. They are not rebelling against men, but praying for them. Through their intercession, these godly women will prayer-birth powerful ministries on earth, both male and female. They will release new beginnings to the body of Christ.
I also want to commend and thank ministries such as Women's Aglow, Lydia Fellowship and other women's prayer groups. There have been many, many times that I have suddenly been divinely protected or spiritual breakthroughs have unexpectedly been released to me. As I questioned the Lord, He's said, "I'm answering the prayers of Women's Aglow" (or, the women from such and such ministry). To each of you, I say a special thank you. May the Lord multiply His grace toward you and give you the desires of your hearts!
Revelations 12 speaks of a "woman clothed with the sun." This word is not only talking about Israel or the church. It also reveals how God sees spiritual women: they are honored and crowned with distinction; pure and clothed with the glory of God. With confidence, they tread upon the powers of night. Dear army of praying women, it is your inherent destiny to birth that which shall rule the nations.
> Heavenly Father, we come in the name of Jesus. Lord, release the women of God. Release the power of prayer, the burden and travail of prayer, to its next levels. Father, Islamic terrorists from without and moral decadence from within seek to destroy our homeland. We need the prayer army to arise. Help us, O God, to pray until Your heavenly purpose is birthed on earth as it is in heaven! Amen!

|  | # Overcoming Discouragement |  | |
| | | Studies by Francis Frangipane:
## Overcoming Discouragement
The Jews had been defeated by Nebuchadnezzar and, because of their long and extended rebellion to God, the Lord allowed them to be exiled to Babylon. Yet, now their appointed time of judgment had passed; it was time for the Lord's promise to be fulfilled. Indeed, He had assured them, "After seventy years...I will visit you, and perform my good word toward you, in causing you to return to this place" (Jeremiah 29:10 KJV).
Initiated by the fasting and prayer of the prophet Daniel, Israel had entered a season of divine visitation: men with both integrity and vision were raised up and financial provisions came. The display of divine grace had created an atmosphere of awe and excitement among the people of God - He was "causing \[them\] to return" to Israel! Yet, how He brought them back was just as miraculous: Israel's God revealed Himself to King Cyrus of Persia, a gentile king, and actually "Appointed \[him\] to build \[the Lord\] a house in Jerusalem" (2 Chronicles 36:23). In fact, Cyrus encouraged a national offering for Israel's journey; he restored the treasures taken by Nebuchadnezzar from Israel, and he issued a royal edict, legally authorizing the return of the Jews to Israel.
It was a time of great miracles, supernatural provision and fulfilled prophecy. Yet even as the exiles resettled in Jerusalem and engaged in the work of restoration, we read:
"Then the people of the land discouraged the people of Judah, and frightened them from building, and hired counselors against them to frustrate their counsel all the days of Cyrus king of Persia, even until the reign of Darius king of Persia" (Ezra 4:4-5).
Incredibly, in spite of the miracles, signs and provisions, simple discouragement neutralized their progress. Unbelievably, scholars say that their work stalled for nearly 20 years! Beloved, discouragement is an enemy that is both subtle in its attack and powerful in its ability to stop us. We must discern it when it comes and refuse to accommodate its influence when it speaks.
How Discouragement Enters
Every person with a vision from God will have serious opportunities to become discouraged as they reach for the fulfillment of their vision. Indeed, just as Israel was given a promise from God and provisions to help their return, so the Almighty has given promises and provisions to us. Your vision may be for your personal transformation, or it may be a God-inspired desire to see your family or church brought into spiritual renewal. You may even possess a citywide vision or a holy passion to see your nation turned toward God. Yet, like the Jews, we can be just as vulnerable to discouragement and its effects.
How does discouragement gain access to our souls? The answer is simple: We start evaluating our lives based upon information compiled by our senses instead of assessing our position based upon the promise and help of God. However, I don't mean we are unaware of the difficulties of our faith assignment, but that God is good and He is not hindered by our present limitations.
Consider: when God promised Abraham a child in his old age, the Bible says he "contemplated his own body, now as good as dead since he was about a hundred years old, and the deadness of Sarah's womb." Abraham didn't deny the facts of life; without growing weak in faith, he "contemplated" his situation. "Yet, with respect to the promise of God, he did not waver in unbelief but grew strong in faith, giving glory to God." He was "fully assured that what God had promised, He was able also to perform" (see Romans 4:19-21). Discouragement comes when we only look at our circumstances without looking to the faithfulness and integrity of what God has promised.
Still, discouragement has infiltrated the minds of many. Knowing mankind's vulnerability to discouragement, Jesus taught His disciples a parable that, "at all times they ought to pray and not to lose heart" (Luke 18:1). The parable concerned a widow desperately seeking legal protection from an adversary, but she received no immediate help from her judge (see Luke 18). In spite of his resistance, however, she refuses to be discouraged from her quest; she persists until she gains her breakthrough.
The goal of Christ's teaching was to immunize His followers from discouragement; to "lose heart" is to become discouraged. Jesus assures us that God will hear us as we turn to Him in persistent prayer.
True Faith Takes Courage
We also need to know Christ is not just our Savior, but He also is the "author and perfecter" of our faith (Hebrews 12:2). In order for faith to mature, it needs situations where faith alone can sustain us. "Faith" is not merely a proper understanding of doctrinal issues; faith is the spiritual "substance of things hoped for; the evidence of things not seen" (Hebrews 11:1 KJV). We must not only possess accurate doctrines about faith; we must live by faith as well.
Indeed, there are times when, for faith to develop, we must trust God in spite of how things appear. Jesus often told people to take courage, for their faith had saved them (see Matthew 9:2; 9:22; etc.). There will always be times when, against the glaring face of a negative reality, true faith arises, appropriates courage and locks into the integrity of God's promise. We must let faith arise in the context of resistance. This is the faith that touches God's heart.
The enemy comes to discourage or remove the courage from our hearts, and thus causes us to withdraw into unbelief. To win our fight of faith, we must not surrender to discouragement. Yes, times will come when we will ask God for greater wisdom; certainly, we will adjust our attitudes and become both flexible and wiser as we process the faith assignment destiny has set before us. But we must not give up: "For yet in a very little while, He who is coming will come, and will not delay. But My righteous one shall live by faith; and if he shrinks back, My soul has no pleasure in him" (Hebrews 10:37-38).
Hall of Faith
The above scripture is part of an introduction to Hebrews, chapter 11, which chronicles the heroic stories of those who pleased God with their faith. All of them had to endure the test of time; often the delays seemed so permanent and the odds against them insurmountable, yet none of these men and women allowed discouragement to dim the brightness of their faith. The persevering quality of their hearts - the fact that they stood in the storms of doubt and circumstances and refused to shrink away from God's promise - filled God's heart with pleasure, and He answered their faith.
Part of the testimony of those with overcoming faith is that they conquered kingdoms, performed acts of righteousness, obtained promises, shut the mouths of lions, quenched the power of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, from weakness were made strong, became mighty in war, put foreign armies to flight" (Hebrews 11:33-34).
I absolutely love this scripture: "they conquered kingdoms...put foreign armies to flight." Beloved, a foreign army with weapons named "perversion," "immorality" and "corruption" has invaded our nation and sought to occupy our culture. It has eroded the conscience of our society, and it seeks to carry off our sons and daughters into captivity. We must fight.
You say, "But Francis, I'm weary."
Yes, there are times when we all get weary. But we have the help of God with us. Consider His promise:
"Behold, My Servant, whom I uphold; My chosen one in whom My soul delights. I have put My Spirit upon Him; He will bring forth justice to the nations...He will not be disheartened or crushed..." (Isaiah 42:1-4).
Christ will be not "disheartened or crushed." Why? The Spirit of God "upholds" Him, and the Spirit of God upholds Christ in us as well. Are you God's servant? Then turn to Him and find new strength. You may be wounded or struck, but as we abide in Christ, we too will be neither "disheartened or crushed."
You say, "I live in Florida (or the Southeastern USA or the Caribbean). I've been discouraged by the destruction from these many storms." Yet, even in the most difficult times, God is there with you. Have you noticed the names and sequence of the hurricanes that roared through Florida: Charley, Frances, Ivan and Jeanne? The meaning of these names reveals a message: Charley- man, Frances- free, Ivan- God is good, Jeanne- gracious and merciful. Together, they say, "Man (is) free; God is good, gracious and merciful." If we look, we will see that, in the midst of these storms, God was good, gracious and merciful to many. Those who see God standing with them in the storms are free indeed.
A number from the USA were discouraged by the first debate between the presidential candidates. I heard folks lamenting that their candidate "did poorly. He could hardly speak in sentences." Remember, dear friend, the Lord has used people who were slow of speech in the past (see Ex 3). The issue is not how clever we are with words, but whether God will back up our stammering with His power. Let us pray for our President, and where he has made mistakes, whether in speech or even in administration of the nation, let us intercede that God will work good out even from mistakes.
Dear one, there is a spiritual war raging, whether it is over the future of our world or the future of our souls, we cannot shrink back into unbelief. Let us be strong and of good courage. Let us seek God and find new strength in prayer. And let us never give in to the voice of discouragement.
SPECIAL THANKS

|  | # Your Appointment Awaits You |  | |
| | | Studies by Francis Frangipane:
## Your Appointment Awaits You
##### Appointed Times
In spite of escalating turmoil in our world, there still remains one last, great outpouring of mercy before the time of the end (Matt 24:14; Acts 2:17). This supernatural season is not something for which we must beg God. No, its coming has been predetermined. It is the "appointed time" of the Lord.
For those unaware, an "appointed time" is, in truth, an open display of the sovereignty and power of God. In it we discover with absolute certainty that nothing is impossible for God. It is a season when God fulfills the hopes and dreams of His people.
> The Psalmist wrote, "But You, O LORD, abide forever, and Your name to all generations. You will arise and have compassion on Zion; for it is time to be gracious to her, for the appointed time has come" (Ps 102:12-13).
During an "appointed time" it's as though the Lord physically rises and moves in unfailing compassion on behalf of His people. It is the time when divine promises, dreams and spiritual hopes are fulfilled. Recall: Abraham and Sarah had waited in faith for a quarter century for the promise of God. Finally, as they neared one hundred years of age, the Lord told Abraham, "At the appointed time I will return to you . . . and Sarah will have a son" (Gen 18:14). One year later, "at the appointed time" (Gen 21:2), Isaac was born to aged parents!
While there are, indeed, appointed times of judgment (Mk 13:33), the phrase most frequently represents a time, preset by God, when He invades mankind with "wonders, plans formed long ago, \[that unfold\] with perfect faithfulness"(Isa 25:1).
Demons may stand arrayed against the Lord; nations may align themselves to fight Him. It does not matter. He who sits in the heavens laughs. For He makes all things His servants (Ps 119:91), even His enemies' plans for evil are reversed and made to serve the purpose of God (Gen 50:20; Rom 8:28; Acts 2:22-24).
If God gave you a vision, a spiritual hope or dream for your future, there will be an appointed time when that which God spoke comes to pass.
> Thus the Lord assures us, "Record the vision and inscribe it on tablets, that the one who reads it may run. For the vision is yet for the appointed time. It hastens toward the goal and it will not fail. Though it tarries, wait for it; for it will certainly come, it will not delay" (Hab 2:2-3).
If you have a vision or promise from God, that vision also has a time of fulfillment. Though it tarries, wait for it. For it will certainly come to pass at the appointed time.
Appointed Servants of God
Prior to the unveiling of an appointed time, God has, of course, been actively working in hiddenness. When He rises and moves, He is moving the power grid He laid in secret. The work manifests suddenly, but the preparation may have taken years. Likewise, the Lord also appoints people. He predestines the time of their breakthrough in advance, even as He works silently within their hearts in preparation.
Consider the Lord's word to His disciples. He said,
> "You did not choose Me but I chose you, and appointed you that you would go and bear fruit, and that your fruit would remain" (Jn 15:16).
I'm sure the disciples felt that they had chosen Christ. Yet, the deeper truth is that God chose us before the foundation of the world and predestined us to come to Christ (Eph 1:3-5). We could not even come to Christ had not the Father drawn us (Jn 6:44). So, let us make no mistake: God chose us. Yet, He who chose us also appointed us to bear fruit. The same power that worked in us surrender and then inspired our faith continues to work in our hearts throughout our days, appointing us to bear fruit.
You may look at your life and feel unfruitful. But God is not done with you yet. Do you believe God has chosen you? Then believe also that He has appointed you to bear fruit. The same power that drew you to Christ is now working to conform you to Him as well.
The Enemy's Work
One may argue, "But I know people who were good Christians who have fallen away." Yes, but in most cases you will find that, at some point, they fell into deep disappointment about some failed spiritual expectation. Disappointment is not just a sad emotional state of mind; deep disappointment actually can sever our hearts from faith. It can "dis-appoint" us from our appointed destiny.
I have known many who were doing well, moving toward their appointed destiny. The future God had for them seemed almost close enough to taste. Then they became disappointed in someone or something. By accepting dis-appointment into their spirits, a bitter cold winter took over their souls and their faith turned dormant.
When one is dis-appointed, he is cut off from his appointment with destiny; the appointment remains in the heart of God, but the individual is isolated. It is here, even in the throes of disappointment, that the righteous must learn to live by faith (see Hab 2:1-4).
I, too, have been through disappointment. Indeed, the promise of God was so distant that it seemed like a foolish spiritual fantasy. For nearly three years I had not been involved in pastoral ministry. No doors would open. God was doing a work in my soul to cause me to trust Him, but I felt abandoned and cut off from my calling. In a moment of abject honesty, I prayed, "Lord, you promised that those who believed in You would not be disappointed. Master, You know all things. Look at my heart. I am full of disappointment."
The Lord simply replied, "Your life is not over." Of course, I knew that. I was a healthy young man not older than forty. Yet, the spell of disappointment had flooded my soul with darkness, causing me to conclude erroneously that God was done with me.
Listen well my friend: Satan can stop our destiny if we accept the power of disappointment into our lives. Once we accept the heaviness of a deep dis-appointment, backsliding is often not far away. You see, dis-appointment cuts us off from our vision and without a vision people perish.
Therefore, let me ask you: are you carrying disappointment in your heart? Renounce it. Forgive those who have let you down. Have you personally or morally failed? Repent deeply and return to your Redeemer. Right now, I ask the Holy Spirit to remove disappointment's paralyzing sting! Beloved, the Spirit of God has come to release you of the effect of the dis-appointment. He reminds you, "Your appointment with your destiny is still set.
> Holy Spirit, I confess that disappointment has crept into my soul. I forgive those who have disappointed me and release them back to You. I also forgive myself for accepting disappointment. I renounce unbelief and submit again to Your call on my life. Lord, prepare me again to move into the future You have appointed for my life. In Jesus' name. Amen.

|  |  Randolph Barnwell Prophecy - 2020.01.01 |  | |
| | | Prophecy released in Durban by Ps. Randolph & Rene Barnwell - 01st January, 2020
DUE SEASON! Happy New Year!
The next decade from 2020 to 2030 promises to be a spiritually significant one of great fulfilment of God's Word, referable to His purposes and plans for corporate Households of Faith and for individuals. This year, 2020, signals the start of this process.
May you ALIGN your life, perception, discernment, desires and commitment with God's Heavenly agenda for you on this Earth. And may you SYNC these into His timetable of heightened MOMENTUM of the PACE of His unfolding will. We anticipate this next year and decade will be one of ACCELERATION of Divine purpose in all its multifaceted dimensions.
The following list of Words are bouncing around in our spirit. May they be all of our experience:
Immediately, Acceleration, Speed, Momentum, Velocity, Rapidity, Fast, Quickening, Expedition, Suddenly, Throttle, Ramp Up, Step Up, Fast-Track, Due Season, Fulfilment, Get Ready, Faith, Hope, Anticipate, Expect.
Consider John 6:16-21 for your meditation today:
John 6:19-21, "They had rowed three or four miles when SUDDENLY they saw Jesus walking on the water toward the boat. They were terrified, but he called out to them, 'Don't be afraid. I am here!' Then they were EAGER to let him in the boat, and IMMEDIATELY they arrived at their destination!" (NLT)
The disciples had been rowing in the dark and gusty winds for approx. 6 km, on storm-tossed sea waters. They feared. Jesus came walking on the waters to them and allayed their fears. THEY EAGERLY RECEIVED HIM into their boat, and ...IMMEDIATELY... they were at their intended destination - Capernaum - no more using personal human sweat and energy to ROW. Just the reception of Jesus into their boat fast-tracked their momentum and SUDDENLY, or IMMEDIATELY, they were on the other side.
May this too be your experience from 2020 to 2030. May you cease from your own ROWING efforts amidst the storms of life and RECEIVE a new ENTRANCE of GRACE represented by the person of CHRIST into YOUR BOAT (life, ministry, calling, marriage, work, etc.).
There is a quicker way to get from WHERE YOU ARE to WHERE YOU DESIRE TO GO in God! It is by GRACE and not HUMAN TOIL. Capernaum means 'comfort' and 'consolation' - may your life 'arrive' here and abide here consistently.
May grace propel your movements in God with increased rapidity.
Have an 'ACCELERATED' 2020
Great Grace and Much Love
Randolph & Rene Barnwell

|  |  South Africa Prophecy Impressions 2016.11.02 |  | |
| | | Prophecy first released by Prophet Shaun Blignaut - 02 November, 2016
The Lord says, "I am not yet done dealing with the political leaders of this nation." As arrogance persists, so will I expose more of what is laying beyond what is apparent.
See, I am stirring up the pot of filth that has been lying dormant for so long, covered under the guise of political expedience. I am digging deep into the muck and filth of decades... What you see and survey as apparent is the movement of My Hand of indignation against years of brutalizing the system of "so-called" democracy.
See, I am giving political leadership one last opportunity to choose that which is JUST AND RIGHT. Let My true church begin to DECREE that the time of My glory is now!
See, I have assigned to RSA a host of powerful angels... watching, waiting to work with My Church. The battle that is raging in the political-democratic arena has a deep spiritual root! - It cannot be won by political persuasion alone!
What you witness is the stirring of My Spirit upon your land! I am getting ready to activate My true Church into action, it will be a holy revolt against the true enemy of this land... Satan, The Accuser, The Prosecutor... that Ancient fallen prince, who now is discerning that his time of blinding the minds of unbelievers has come to an end in RSA. Now I stir a spiritual revolt in the realms of spirit!
See, I have send you My emissaries - yet you have relied upon outdated modes of detecting the enemy ... Now, I intensify My attack upon the onslaught from the demonic realm against this land. Like in the days of Job, Satan has desired to sift you like wheat and he has strategized against My true Church's rising within this nation. The battle has always been a spiritual one, while the land of RSA has become the battlefield, and captured, compromised men his means to reach his ends!
There will be many more casualties in both political and economic/financial spheres. See, I have stirred the pot of filth lying dormant into open manifestation and so to surface long hidden secrets of hearts of those set in agreement with the adversary. The battle is spiritual - we fight in the unseen realm!
Now I have My emissaries ready with battle strategies! I have given you this land, now contend for it... fight the good fight of faith for it!
Greater clouds of opposition is forming on the horizon of time and space, yet so many who call Me "Lord" cannot see, cannot discern the time of My visitation. It is time to look beyond the occurrence of natural reality - lift up your eyes and survey the finish. I have set My Throne in agreement with My True Church... My discerning Church. This is the time of your visitation... mount up on wings of eagles and begin to soar on the wind of My Spirit.
Connect, enjoin, come together, cluster together, form alliances and begin to shout on your walls for the cities of this nation are under the watchful eyes of the Lord's Spirit! One runner should run to another declaring to the king of Babylon that cities of this nation are now under the control of the Spirit of the Lord.
This is a day of rejoicing... I am the "Law-enforcer" and My Throne is reverberating with divine activity in preparation of moving in favour of My remnant! Just like Elisha prayed that the eyes of his servant might be open to see "that those who are for us are more than those who are against us" So also, know that I am with you says the Lord!
Ancient forces have been stirred in revolt against you, but this is My unseen architecture at work... so look not for answers in the seen, visible, natural realm... look beyond physical occurrence... look to Me... look to My emissaries... My authentic sent ones among you. Keep their words and you shall live in a day of crisis!
See, I bare My arm on your behalf... I will work a mighty deliverance in the midst of the crisis for you... just do not fret... look to Me... Connect with true, authentic apostolic/prophetic leaders whom I have prepared for a time such as this. See, I establish a different relational order across your land! I have breathed over your spiritual formations and found some wanting... weighed within My balances says the Lord.
It is time for My people to recognize the true authentic voices I have raised up for a time such as this - the turmoil is nearly over, the shaking nearly concluded!
I seek justice... the function of My Integrity
I seek for Righteousness... the principle of My Integrity
I seek to be held in high esteem among you
I seek My honor in you My true Church
Time has come for Me to unveil My armory... you are My war club... My arm will work mightily for you!
It is time to rise, time to rise into My purpose for your nation!
Time to arise out of slumber into actualizing My prophetic purposes for RSA!
Time to arise in splendor and let My voice sound as a trumpet within your nation!
Arise, shine, for your light has come!
Begin to build, restore and reform... rebuild the ancient ruins within the context of this nation!
The Lord says, "Gather, O, My troops and thresh... see, I give you the former dominion... the dominion of your father David!
Get ready, to enter the battle... it's an ancient battle... a spiritual battle... it's a spiritual revolt from the forces of Jezebel that has been triggered against My holy One! Begin to ask, "Why do the forces of darkness conspire against our land, and why do they plot against the Lord and His Anointed?"
Surely, they plot in vain, for "I have set My King on My Holy Hill"
So, RISE! MY CHURCH WITHIN RSA, RISE!
ARISE FROM FEAR, INDIFFERENCE AND NON-CHALANCE!
I WILL RESTORE THE LOST FORTUNES OF RSA!
I WILL REMOVE THE CURRENT POLITICAL LEADERSHIP - THOSE THAT ARE CORRUPT, THOSE MORALLY AND ETHICALLY CORRUPT!
I am getting ready to shift My chosen leaders into place!
Decree it, pass a law over the cities of this nation, declare the arrival of a new day within RSA, new leadership in formation, and declare it! ...speak it in faith!
REJOICE! ...FOR I WILL RESTORE FOR MY NAME'S SAKE WHAT HAS BEEN LOST IN THIS LAND!
My true Church will be consulted by government in the coming months, for first, I needed to show forth the utter incompetence and spiritual bankruptcy of a fallen religious order within this land that paraded as My divine representative, says the Lord!
Now My true Church and her true leaders will rise... they will be consulted... New directives are coming from the hand of the Lord for this nation... My purpose for RSA will stand!
Just do not fret!
Decree change!
Declare it!
Speak it!
Rejoice for My Holy Arm shall accomplish it!
See, My fire is burning on My Holy Mountain... For surely, "the mountain of the Lord's house shall be established on the top of the mountains, And shall be exalted above the hills: And peoples shall flow to it"
This fire is the Spirit of burning and the Spirit of My holy indignation!
The judgment of My Spirt will burn with unquenchable fire against the futile attempts of your adversary who sought for your land's demise"
Now My Hand will move within this nation to restore... restore!
Lost fortunes and lost time I surely will restore!
This I do for My Name's Sake!

|  |  Jan van Rooyen Prophecy - 2014.12.31 |  | |
| | | As we enter 2015, we do so with great expectation, anticipating the unfolding of God's Plan in the Church and the world!
As we move forward, we must do so with the knowledge that our times and seasons do not coincide with those of God. God spoke to us in February 2014 & indicated the closure of a 20 year season and the beginning of a new cycle. The Holy Spirit revealed this to have commenced in August 2014.
As we look to the future, we can expect major changes and shifts in Church and Governmental Leadership structures to continue happening until at least after June 2015. Also, major shifts in nations, both in Governments and in natural situations will continue to increase. As all this takes place, we must continue to posture ourselves as Lambs before our Father and allow His Word and Spirit to upgrade and conform us to the Image of Christ. This is the only valid posture for the Church if She is to successfully engage and negotiate through the turmoil lying ahead!
While the world tries to accomplish their will and purposes, God is accomplishing His Will & Purposes, and these will override those of the world. This causes tremendous turmoil, however, Christ & His Church are the Ark being lifted up by the storm, again focusing man's attention on God & His Kingdom.
Jesus said, "I came to do the Will of Him Who sent Me... To bear witness to the Truth... To finish the work He gave me to do" (John 4:34; John 18:37 ).
As we go into 2015, let us do so with this same heart & mind, and become the salvation & redemption this world so desperately needs!
In the Father's Love and Grace
Jan van Rooyen

|  |  Jan van Rooyen Prophecy - 2013.01.08 |  | |
| | | 2011, 2012, 2013, and Beyond... Apostolic Authority continues to be released to all who are accurately aligned in Christ. Those who have allowed the Holy Spirit to deal with their hearts. Those who have come to the place of total yieldedness, brokenness, and dependency on Him, so He can live His life in us and through us.
This is the posture and place where He lives as us in this world. Where He is the Light and the Salt in and through us, allowing His Glory to be seen. The place in us where Christ is seen and experienced as the Hope of Glory (Colossians 1:27).
This is necessary since there are even more changes in the world than before and these will continue into the future. The world is being "upgraded" to accomplish their own words, purposes and works - we are constantly being upgraded by the Word and the Spirit to accomplish the Will, Purposes, and Mandate of our Heavenly Father.
Christ came to do "the Will of Him who sent Me...", "to bear witness to the Truth...", and "to finish the work of the Father..." - John 6:38; 18:37; 17:4.
We are now being positioned to do the Will of Him who sent us, to bear witness to the Truth, and to finish the work of the Father.
The Church has been crying for a revival and visitation of the Spirit - God is however doing something greater than that! We are becoming his dwelling place, His place of habitation. The Church is coming to the place where the world will say once they have laid eyes on us, "We have seen the Father..." (John 14:9; Isaiah 66:1-2)
The precious and powerful things of the Spirit are being released by God into and via that remnant of people who are now being carefully hewn and cut out without hands (Daniel 2:34 & 45). This cutting destroys that which is of the flesh and allows this remnant to be the Standard of Christ and His Righteousness in the earth.
As we allow Him to make us into and set us as His Standard of Righteousness (the fullness of the Image of Christ), we will be like a flood, flushing out that which is hidden in darkness and bringing it to the Light (Isaiah 59:19).
In a sense the Church is the cause of all the turmoil and the storms in the earth because God is allowing greater Light to shine through us, in turn exposing and driving out darkness. God is blowing with winds of change on the masses of people (seas) of the earth in order to bring them to a place where they will cry out to Him (John 1:5; Psalm 107:25-30). He is in control!
Isaiah 60:1, "Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee. 2 For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the LORD shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee. 3 And the Gentiles shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising".
As sin abounds, Grace abounds even more (Romans 5:20), and we are God's Grace in the earth since we are the Body of Christ. We bring the balance - we are God's "rescue" plan!
John 4:35, "Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest. 36 And he that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto life eternal: that both he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together. 37 And herein is that saying true, One soweth, and another reapeth. 38 I sent you to reap that whereon ye bestowed no labour: other men laboured, and ye are entered into their labours".
This is our time and our season!!!

|  |  Prophecy for Paarl, Western Cape - 2009.04.17 |  | |
| | | ##### Jan van Rooyen, Prophecy for Paarl, South Africa on 17 April 2009
Annika and I spent 5 days in Paarl during March of this year. We interacted with local leaders in the Body of Christ. During our stay we spent time in prayer as we sensed the Lord birthing something afresh in the Spirit, for the region. The day before we left for home we shared some thoughts with these leaders regarding some of the things we had heard from the Lord.
It was only on the 17th April, 2009, that the Lord released the full Word regarding the Paarl into my spirit. What follows is what I heard the Lord saying to me regarding the fresh move of the Holy Spirit in Paarl and the surrounding areas:
On the 17th April, 2009, I heard the Lord say that Paarl is entering a brand new season. This is a season of new spiritual beginnings that will cast down strongholds in the heavenlies which have held the Paarl and surrounding areas captive for centuries.
This New Beginning will shake the foundations of both spiritual and natural things established long ago, yet these things have now served their purpose and through the Fire of the Holy Spirit God is beginning to purge foundations and will replace them with a Firm Foundation which is the Lord Jesus Christ and His Kingdom.
Everything and everyone that does not place the Lord Jesus Christ and His Kingdom in First-place will be shaken and removed. That which is built from wood, hay and stubble will succumb before the breath of the Lord for He is a Consuming Fire, and every idol, manmade concept and mindset, every religious stronghold, every spiritual structure built in the flesh will be consumed and replaced with that which is truly Eternal.
To accomplish this, the Holy Spirit has chosen to use those who have paid the price and laid their lives down to be true followers of the Lord Jesus Christ. Those who have truly laid their lives down for the sake of the Kingdom will begin to emerge as leaders of this New Move in the Paarl and surrounding areas. God will begin to use those who have been despised and ridiculed for a season, yet in the Spirit they are God's Generals.
These sons of the Kingdom will be Anointed to speak the Word of the Lord in such a way that it will come forth from their mouths like a Flaming Sword and will consume that which is not of the Lord and His Kingdom.
I saw in the Spirit how the Lord started to pour out the purging Fire of the Holy Spirit on every Church & Ministry in Paarl and the surrounding area as well as on the Business Sector.
I saw the Spirit being poured out on Churches and Ministries first as the Corporate Church in any geographic region directly affects the natural, especially the Business sector and all things Financial.
The cleansing of the Church I saw was severe and I saw established Churches and Congregations shaken to the core. What I saw was that in some instances God publicly exposed sin in Church and Ministry Leaders because of their refusal to confess what they had been doing in secret.
In some instances the congregations were forgiving and in others the congregations could not absorb the shock of disbelief and disappointment thereby causing these Churches and Ministries to lose their mandate in the area.
I saw how some churches became stronger and started growing as they dealt with these issues and allowed the Holy Spirit to bring a Refreshing and Renewal to them while other Churches simply dwindled and dissipated into nothingness.
The Churches that started to grow were experiencing supernatural and exponential growth with hungry and thirsty Believers coming to them from wide and far, including people from outside the region. I saw Leaders from other provinces and even other nations coming to Paarl to sit at the feet of those who are at the forefront of this Move of the Holy Spirit.
I saw Government Leaders and those who are Civil Servants coming to receive the Word of the Lord for their lives and counsel regarding their specific offices. Many of them came out of desperation because the humanistic counsel they had received previously was causing destruction instead of bringing life and prosperity to the regions they were overseeing.
Leaders in Business from the region started to come there out of desperation as their businesses were experiencing tremendous downturns in turnovers and they knew it was because they had been dishonest and had been defrauding their clients as well as the Government. I heard these men and women openly confess their sins and I saw God touching them with His Spirit and turning them into Firebrands with a vision and passion to raise finances for the establishing of the Kingdom of God.
Furthermore, I saw how the barriers between denominations and those walls erected by religious dogma and prejudice came tumbling down, and I saw how Church and Ministry Leaders across the board came together to confess their pride and rejection of one another and I saw them washing one another's feet with tears streaming down their faces.
I saw a cloud of the Holy Spirit hovering over these men and women softening their hearts towards one another, bringing a oneness and unity in the Spirit that had never been there before. I saw religious, doctrinal, racial, denominational and every other kind of prejudice being stripped from men and women and I saw them being clothed with Christ and His Humility like it was a Suit of Armour.
As they went from there I saw how this Humility impacted their congregations because of the increased Grace upon their lives and all of them started to minister and preach with a Power and Authority that was unknown before. They started to preach the Kingdom of God and revelation would flow from their lips like Rivers of Living Water. I saw ancient strongholds simply vanishing before them as they would prophesy and declare the Word of the Lord.
I heard how the Gifts of the Spirit would flow from their lips, and not only them, but also the members of their congregations would experience the same flow of the Spirit not only in their Church Services, but also at home, at work and their places of Business.
Leaders in Business who decided to flow with this New Move of the Spirit started to prosper in ways that they could not have imagined before. Many of them had to employ more staff and they had to retrain many of their existing staff in order for them to cope with the added responsibilities placed on them.
God said to me that as this Move of the Spirit progresses, He will raise up Apostles and Prophets who are Fathers in the Body of Christ and who will be Anointed to steer this move correctly and bring God's Order and Authority back to the Church, the Community, the City, the Marketplace and the Region. These Apostles and Prophets will be Leaders of the Church AND Leaders in Business who are handpicked by the Holy Spirit to exercise Godly Authority in the region.
As this takes place, an inflow of God's Blessing and Prosperity will begin in a manner that has never been seen since the founding of the city and the region. God will give Wisdom to the Leaders at that time in order for this Wealth to be distributed in such a way that will bring a total blessing to all the inhabitants of the region. The Fullness of the Kingdom of God will begin to manifest and God will use this as an example to the rest of South Africa, Southern Africa, Africa and the World to show them what it means to manifest the Kingdom of God.
My Prayer for You:
Heavenly Father, I bring my brothers, my sisters who have read and heard this Word before You. I thank you that as they release their faith and receive this Word You will begin a New Move of Your Spirit in their life. I thank you that it is a New Day and a New Season of the Holy Spirit and that it begins deep within their spirit this very moment.
I thank you for an outpouring of Your Spirit upon their life, their family, their Church and Ministry, their Work, their Business, everything they put their hands to.
Father, I believe and know that my brothers and sisters will never be the same again as they step out into this New Season of Your Kingdom and do mighty exploits in Your Name.
I pray this in the Name of Jesus, Amen!
My Final Comments:
I truly believe that as you read this Word, God will begin something new in your life. I also believe that as you share this with others you will see the Move of God's Spirit in their lives.
Surely this is a New Day and a New Season in Paarl!
In the Father's Love and Grace

|  |  Dr. Ron Kussmaul Prophecy - 2006.05.30 |  | |
| | | ##### Prophetic word through Dr. Ron Kussmaul at Wings of Business
For the sands of time are shifting.
There is a change upon the earth.
In many places there is death, famine and dearth.
These are times of destiny.
These are times that My people have to see.
These are times of change of not stability.
These are times when everything is in ebb and flow.
Tide of all time is coming in and going out,
and I am making adjustments on the earth.
For certain things have to take place before I can work a work completely.
I am putting these things in position.
Fear not little flock for as surely as I speak these words to you tonight,
I have you in the cleft of My hand,
no matter where you are in this land.
And understand we shall walk together, completely through.
The river will not overflow you;
the fire will not kindle upon you.
But I have a destiny for you to live.
And understand that in times, your natural sight,
your eyes and your ears pick up things that will cause fright.
But understand Me and understand it well,
this is a time of change.
You'll walk through it, you'll come through...
on the other side and I have much for you to do.
But the key, but the key, but the key, is release your life to Me
so I can give it back to you.
Release your life and I'll can give you My life.
Many of you have tasted just a little.
I have much, much more to show you,
much, much more to teach you,
much, much more to give you and
much, much more to work with you through in this world.
Understand Me and know: Times are changing - I am changing those times.
Don't look at the natural world and say: 'Oh, Technology has ruined this and
technology has ruined that'.
It is my Spirit in the minds of rich and poor.
Good and bad, even in saints, that bring technology to the forefront.
I want My church to be at the forefront of that technology.
But generation after generation, generation after generation, generation after
generation, generation after generation, they have turned their back upon it.
I am looking for a generation who will advance into the world and accomplish
what My Son has said: 'Go ye in all the world; teach them what I commanded
you'.
So the world has been set, the scene has been played out and the curtains have
been pulled back on the greatest performance...
\[Tongues\]
The curtains have been opened
of what will be the greatest triumph of the church.
Pressure comes, but My people shall prevail and walk through unscathed.
\[Tongues\]
Part of My church will go the world's way.
They will turn aside and take a way
that seemeth right unto man but the ways thereof are the ways of death.
And they shall surely die in their decisions.
But they shall turn away and you shall stand and watch them go.
They'll turn because they haven't laid down their lives for Me, as I did for them.
They haven't released their lives so they can pick them up again.
And understand Me, new authority and new boldness will be preached from the
Scripture.
New revelation that has never been seen and heard shall be lifted from the
pages, and My apostles and prophets will finish the assignments that I have
given them.
Prophecy will be fulfilled, much of it in a twinkling of an eye. And new areas...
\[Tongues\]
...New areas of expertise, new areas of belief, new areas of prayer, new areas of
prophecies, new areas...
Fresh, fresh, fresh manna from My Word.
It will be rejected by some;
it will be received with great rejoicing by others.
Separation is coming. Into darkness shall some go,
simply because they are smart and they think they know.
They think they see and know and understand the Scriptures clear,
but they are not, not, not anywhere near
to the kingdom of God.
So do not let the intellect trouble
do not let the natural mind bubble.
But walk by the Spirit; know your God,
and I will be with you everywhere you trod.
For we have much to do,
Yes, Me and you,
we have much to do,
and I have much to do through you.
I must make changes and adjustment here and there,
but I will not ruffle or remove one hair.
You'll remain intact -
you'll not have lack
and every word will come through.
\[Tongues\]
For surely it will happen and surely you will see.
You'll enter into life that's totally free.
You'll enter into a new level much level you'll see,
higher and higher and higher in Me.
The more you turn loose, the higher you will become,
until you and I together we will run.
We'll skip and run right down though this life.
From mountain top to mountain top.
Only on the heights. Yes, you and I will see
Much, much glory and we will be free.
\[Tongues\]
And a great understanding shall surely come to the five-fold ministry.
\[Tongues\]
For apostolic times are about to open.
\[Tongues\]
And I have stationed certain individuals around this earth with apostolic callings
that will carry them and override the death, the famine and the dearth.
They'll call down rain from My very heaven,
because their lives are simple and not filled with leaven.
They're release new life within this earth.
Yes, and false apostles and false prophets namely said:
'We'll see the door closed as I put them to bed'.
They'll fall away because My light is coming.
And things that have been done in darkness,
I shall shine a light, My living light.
And it shall come open for all peoples to see.
Know this: It is a time of total freedom, but make sure you're free.
\[Tongues\]
I unified the Body of Christ I shall now unify My called ones from the four corners
of the earth.
\[Tongues\]
A new generation I will raise.
A new generation will give Me praise.
They will use new concepts shed forth and released by My hand,
and they will go exactly where I say in each and every land.
You will see them in the boardrooms and on the sidewalks too.
They will go every place that I tell them and send them to.
They will carry the fire and the glory of God.
They are not expecting it to come; they reside in it you see.
Yes, yes, yes. All My promises are yes, yes, yes!
Few have seen; some have heard,
but after this season of change,
you will see who walks in the Word.
They will shine as lights in darkness.
Signs and wonders will be
shed forth in the earth openly for all to see.
And before prayer is finished, the answer will come.
Because of that multitudes will run.
And as they come, they will fall at the cross,
they'll pick up life and they'll leave what was lost.
The flood will come in - too many to receive.
So prayer warriors hear me... that's the need.
Pray and plant now, the answer for how.
We can receive the great multitude.
Your system that's used down this earth
lacks creativity and need to be developed and birthed.
You cannot handle the multitudes you see.
Your buildings and your traditions restrict... they restrict Me.
\[Tongues\]
Yip! Yes, see that. Yes Sir, I see it.
For time is a passage-way, both sure and true,
It's a hallway that you go through.
Time and experience down here on this earth
is the season you plant when you have the new birth.
And the harvesters received up in heaven from Me
After the power and My ability is seen in thee.
So release yourself in this time and you shall surely move
and find that My word is true
And when I'm through with you
You'll shine as lights in glory too.
Light is inside in the essence of My Son,
and in this coming season each of you will run.
You'll run and you'll run in this zone called time
and with great, great rejoicing you will find
that My word is true and My power is there.
All you have to do is believe and My power you can share.
The power will begin without ebb or flow
and it will be a floodtide that my servants will know.
So decide this night and begin this way
to open a door to a brand-new day.
In the realm of time
you will find exactly what that power is like -
that power of Mine.
For the sick, the cripple, the weak and the hurting masses are there.
Its about to be your time; it is about to be your season.
It comes because of Me, in no particular reason.
Because My schedule is set - time is moving. This is your time
Begin to find exactly, exactly the doorway I have for you
And then push and push and push your way through.
\[Tongues\]
Many of you sitting here will reach new level of your life.
Many of you will drop off the last vestiges of strife.
You'll quit striving and trying and work and see.
You'll enter into My rest, My peace and you'll see.
All of it is free; it all comes from Me
but enter into My rest is a new quality.
Most never do, only a few try,
but during times of change everyone can fly.
You can fly with Me, and you can see,
and you can understand My Spirit because its free.
Release what you have to, do not be lost.
Understand, understand \[Tongues\]... that nothing is lost.
So release it to Me,
and as you run free,
you and I will run go through this harvest field and see.
Souls multiplied in the kingdom of God
and the chaff blown away by the wind as we trod .
Through the fields of the people who don't have eyes to see.
No, they will not understand...
(Prophecy through Dr. Ron Kussmaul at Wings of Business - 30 May 2006.)

|  |  Dr. Jonathan David Prophecy - September 2005 |  | |
| | | ##### Dr. Jonathan David releases Prophecy over South Africa
Prophetic word through Dr Jonathan David for South Africa - September 2005.
Visit his website here: [www.jonathan-david.org](https://www.jonathan-david.org/).
For thus says the Lord, I will even touch this present government says the Lord, and I will clean that which concerns her, I will remove that which is unclean, I will remove that which is a pose of contention. I will bring peace that they will not rise with a spirit having a vindictive spirit towards other races but there will be an equality that you have never seen before.
I will swing it says the Lord; they will not just be black for blacks against the whites I will cause this proverb to cease. I will cause black for blacks to cease and white for whites to cease, this proverb will cease in this nation says the Lord, this proverb will cease in this nation says the Lord. For they will no longer consider according to black or white but they will begin to consider the development of a whole nation says the Lord. I will turn the heart of man and woman in this nation and I will cause the fear of God to be upon them. Some I will strike them and I will deal with them, some I will touch their children to soften their heart so that they will know that I am a God who is merciful.
They will not have a vindictive spirit, there will be says the Lord, I will raise them up in this government says the Lord, I will raise them up to have tenderness in their heart like Joseph's heart I will give to them so they will not look at their brothers, they will not look at the other races and begin to attack them for the past, for the past is over. What the devil meant for evil God is going to turn it to good, He is going to turn it to good, He is going to turn it to good.
For thus says the Lord that the sound of My voice will be heard in the parliament, the sound of My voice will be heard through men in high places. They will know the fear of God and they will not rise with bitterness in their heart but they will know all this will happen so that when they come into power they must include everybody in and God will give the spirit of Joseph, He will give the spirit of Cyrus so that they will share the resources, so that there will be equality, there will be development in this land.
For thus says the Lord, for this is a purpose for South Africa that out of South Africa will come forth the unity, out of South Africa will come forth the development that is not one sided, that is not just in one race but there will be equality so that there is justice, there is peace, there is righteousness prevailing in this nation.
Therefore the Lord will say even unto the Government of South Africa do not make the same mistakes those above you had made and your forefathers have made and others in the nations of Africa have made. Turn your eyes to Me and let My fear be in your heart for it is only by righteousness declares the Lord that the government of South Africa will be established. Let there be no corruption in your midst says the Lord, let there be no evil in your midst says the Lord, let there be no vindictive spirit inside your heart, but you will know the purpose of this nation, and you will hearken to the purpose of this nation. It was not just to be plundered for a while, it is not just to stay in power and eat up the seed for the next generation.
Therefore the Lord will say unto you, even the people of South Africa and the church of South Africa, do not be afraid for My hand is going to be upon this nation and I will guard the [economy](https://www.raininternational.com/prophetic/ron-kussmaul-prophecy-2006.05.30/), I will guard the people, I will guard the help, I will guard the social system, I will guard the education system, and I will guard your sons and your daughters.
Do not fear in your heart because I will be their protection and I will watch until I bring about what I say to you and prophesied in your midst. Until the day that I will bring it about my hedge will be over your life and I will shield you and guard you and protect you so that no harm will come upon you until you see the salvation of the Lord. In that day your heart will rejoice for the Lord has spoken and He has done it exceedingly.

|  |  Dr. Ron Kussmaul Prophecy - 2005.07.26 |  | |
| | | Dr. Ron Kussmaul Prophecy - The Compression of Time
For surely, says the Lord, I have brought you to this point because time is running out. As time compresses, I will use my people in new ways that you know not of. But harden not your hearts, yield yourselves to Me, open the eyes of your understanding and allow Me to be the God that is in thee.
And know this, I have to use My people. I always work through My people. So I have to use you. Become as clay in My hands and I will mould and fashion new vessels for you and give you new garments that shine as bright as the noonday sun. And you shall use these garments from time to time to do certain things that I have much need to accomplish in the earth.
I must use my body now, more and more, and more and more. I will use as many of My body as will yield themselves to Me. The time is coming and now is... (tongues)
You will see, you will read about and you will hear about fearful sights and damaging things around this earth. Fear thou not! Do not be dismayed! These things must happen to shake loose what I am going to shake loose for My body. It is the time and it is the season, the fulfillment of all things is the reason and one last great harvest must be reaped, and that harvest comes and I will finance that harvest through you. And I will cause you to be receptors to receive what the heathen will loose. I have always overthrown kings and potentates and dictators that have fought against My people and My Word. It is still that way today. And I am removing some, I am also causing some to change the way they live and the way they think and the way they see.
You will be startled at the number of people, ungodly people, who are known across the world, by name, who will come into the kingdom of God, as a child leads a lamb and they will come in and change and shape nations for Me. For I have a need of them, says the Lord. You will see things and understand things that you heretofore have not. But be not afraid and do not be dismayed. These things are happening for a purpose and a reason and it's all about this season that you are in.
I have no choice, I must use you. I must use you because of the lateness of the hour and the greatness of the task. I have to have all My people working and flowing together in this time of harvest. We are harvesting finances. We are harvesting land. We are harvesting buildings. We are harvesting corporations and concepts. And in your lifetime, you will be astounded at the creations, the inventions and the methods that are given birth to on the earth, in your lifetime. Work with Me. Allow Me to use you, always look into My Word, never back away from My Word. But develop a hearing ear. Listen for My voice for I will speak through My Prophets and through the Holy Spirit to you. Those of you who can develop a hearing ear, we shall have great times together. We shall ride on the high places of the earth together and do mighty deeds and when we look back one short decade from today, you will be amazed ... seeing as it were and then lead you into it because it is a perfect position that I have created for your life. Do not fear Me and do not back away but take the challenge, says the Lord.
So the Prophets ministry will increase. And the Prophets will begin to speak and certain things will begin to take shape. Nations will simply open up and blossom and change course. And because of background, because of history, because of the past, it will be difficult for some to adjust to tomorrow. But all of you have a destiny to fulfil. I have given you a destiny and fulfill it you will. Fulfill it you will. For My hand will be mighty on the earth. New creations. New inventions. New technologies. This whole field will blossom and grow. I will use even some of you to birth some ideas and some inventions into your life in time. Do not back away but understand exactly what I am (saying). Always look into the Word, never turn from My Word. But this you must hear. This you must categorize, this you must catalogue. Your words have been stout against Me. Your words have been stout against Me. No, not Me personally. Don't look at Me personally, says the Lord. Against My Word. Guard your lips! Guard your lips! Guard your lips! Guard your lips! If it's not pleasing to Me don't say it. But always speak what you want, not what you have. Always speak what you want not what you have. Never pray and tell Me what you don't have, I already know that. Start confessing what you need and what you want. Start saying your desires. Never tell Me, O God, O God, fix this and fix that. I know that which is broken because of your words. Change your words and change your life. Change your words - change your life!
What you call prayer, is not what I call prayer. Change your words, change your life! I know your heart, I know you have aches and pains. I know you don't have enough money. I know this and I know that. You don't need to tell Me that for I know those things. Pray the future! Pray the future! Pray the future! Say the future! Always confess where you are going, what you want and confess it like you have it now. Like it's there right now and it will be. For generation upon generation have fought and struggled, this generation will cease that, and this generation, My body itself shall rise up from within and set a new standard. In a short decade, a new standard of the Gospel shall be raised... (Tongues)
...set the church that you know not will take place. A brand new concept. It's what I call church. But you will find it out in the days to come. Because I am changing My body and I am changing My church into the church of the Living God, into a church of power. It won't be a church that prays, O God, give us power! It will be a church that walks in My power. That displays the glory of God and tackles problems far bigger than they can imagine ever doing, and those days are upon us now. So understand it is time to gird up the loins of your mind and be all that you can be. And be open to new things and changes. Accept them and flow with them and become part of what I am doing in this earth. I have much to tell you, I have much to give you and I have much to show you.
Open your hearts so that I can do that. Those 3 things I have desired for generations and in this generation I shall do that. And the days grow shorter and shorter till the time that you will walk in it.
Father, we worship you and praise you and love you Lord God. Father, we just give you praise, honour and glory. We worship you Lord, we worship you Lord Jesus. Precious, precious Lord Jesus. Hallelujah, mighty Jesus.
I want you to stand up. The anointing of God is very tangible in this place. Raise your hands and open Your hearts. Miracle power is flowing ...ministry...
And Father from this day forth, I thank you that this group hears your voice and this group obeys your voice. In the midst of incoming turmoil they will always do things your way. And because of that other people will look upon them, Lord God, and come to them for advice. We won't have to seek the lost out, the lost will seek the found out. And once they find us Lord, they will be changed forever. Father I thank you for new businesses. I thank you Lord, for re-posturing, re-structuring old businesses and help them spring into profitability in Jesus name. I thank you for new ways of conducting these businesses, new methods, new concepts and new insights into fulfillment of these businesses. And Father, I thank you from the greatest to the least that prayer is initiated tonight. And Father, by the time that we meet next Tuesday, there will be testimonies spring forth that has already taken place. Father, these are the days of Your glory. These are the days when we live the story. These are the exploits that will be chronicled in heaven. And these are the things that the saints will he excited about. And Father, we love You so much. Thank You for sending Jesus, without that tremendous sacrifice we could not do these things and could not be here tonight. Now Holy Spirit, move like a wind and a fire in this congregation ...(Tongues)
...Purge, teach, touch, change for the battle. Thank You Lord. Thank You Lord Jesus. Thank You mighty God. Hallelujah. Raise your hands, praise the Lord...
Praise God! We thank You for all that You have done in our lives and all that You are doing, and all that You will do. Use us Lord God. We are available. Use us each and everyone, we're available Lord God.
Father, we will never be fearful, we will never be dismayed. We will follow Your Spirit and we will live Your Word each day of our existence in Jesus name. And we will go from existence to divine life, way on the other side of divine health in Jesus name. Amen. Hallelujah.

|  |  Dennis Cramer Prophecy - 2005.02.23 |  | |
| | | Prophetic word through [Dennis Cramer](https://www.denniscramer.com/ "Dennis Cramer") \- 23 February 2005. Visit his website here: [www.denniscramer.com](https://www.denniscramer.com/ "Dennis Cramer")
##### The Sons of Issachar have been Re-Activated!
The Bible tells us little about these prophetic "sons of Issachar" (I Chron. 12:32) except that they apparently possessed an incredible prophetic sensitivity to discern, to distinguish, and to truly know the spiritual "now" seasons of God as He moved upon the earth. They were especially adept at knowing what God's people should do, that is, how God's people should respond to the particular season of God they were in at the moment.
"And of the children of Issachar, which had understanding of the times to know what God's people should do..."
As a prophetic "son of Issachar" I declare by the Spirit of God that a wonderful new seven-year season, a "now" season, a "Jubilee" season is upon you right now. It is time "now" to rejoice, for God has made your enemies His footstool! (Ps. 110:1) Just think of that: He has made YOUR enemies, HIS footstool. Frightening isn't it?
##### Today, Today, Today...
Although true prophetic skills must include the ability to know beforehand what God is doing (prophetic foreknowledge), a true son of Issachar will know TODAY what God is doing right here, right now. I have been impressed of the Lord with just such a "now" word for you, a "word in season," a powerful and liberating prophetic word for you TODAY! With this "now" prophetic word there is no waiting required, there will be no delays, and no futuristic application will be necessary. In this case, today means today! Now means now!
Literally, right now, as you read this prophetic declaration God is at work in your life vindicating you. He is busy "behind the scenes" working on your behalf. A new seven-year period of great spiritual release is upon you! Your years of persecution and suffering "for His name's sake" are about to pay off.
##### The Past Seven Years!
The year 2004 marked the end of a brutal spiritual season for many. At first I did not discern this or the magnitude of this new 2005 supernatural season we are now experiencing. But I now believe it was and is a truly awesome, Church-wide, go-to-the-next-level unprecedented supernatural shift. One supernatural season has ended and a distinctly new and better supernatural season in God has begun!
"One supernatural season has ended and a distinctly new and better supernatural season in God has begun, says the Lord!"
##### Wounded Soldiers
Unnoticed by most, the Holy Spirit began to move around mid-January, setting off a chain reaction of spiritual events for all who have "endured hardship as a soldier of Jesus Christ." If you've been enduring hardship, if you've been wounded, especially by "friendly fire" this new season is just for you! You're about to be healed.
In a word, this new season is all about vindication. It's not about you exacting vengeance or "getting even." Not at all. Instead, it's about vindication from God for the past seven years as you have endured suffering as His faithful soldier.
##### Not Guilty!
Yes, you are about to be rewarded. The truth is about to come out, you are about to be freed from alleged charges against you. You are about to be absolved and acquitted. The Lord is about to announce over you, "Not guilty!" Victims are about to rejoice and your accusers are about to be silenced!
You're not being paroled, you're being acquitted!
##### Back To The Sons of Issachar
This truly invaluable supernatural ability that these prophetic servants possessed to know what God was doing at that precise moment in time in the spirit realm certainly served these "sons" well. This precise prophetic ability is what put them on the prophetic map so to speak. It's what got them noticed, it's what they built their reputation on. They earned the trust of those who listened to them for one simple reason: what they said prophetically was accurate, applicable, beneficial, and most of all very, very timely.
Like a "son of Issachar" I often find myself writing to the church when I discern a new season is upon Her. I believe we have just entered such a season-a very, very exciting season indeed! I also believe I have a very, very timely word of encouragement for the church. And this includes you!
##### Your Day Is At Hand!
I believe that countless believers just like you have lived through a seven-year period of great personal hardship, especially in the area of damaged or even severed personal and ministry relationships. All this is going to change rapidly. If you've been victimized by sinners or saints, get ready. Your day is at hand!
Specifically, you have been waiting for vindication from past injustices, betrayals, and abandonments and the subsequent disillusionment it has created.
"Ding-Dong The Witch Is Dead!"
Frankly, the root problem has been about witchcraft in the church. The spirit of witchcraft that has decimated and dissected you is finally being exposed. You paid a great price for your integrity, your character, and your honesty. Yes, it cost you a great deal to be a true follower of Jesus Christ. You may have even appeared to many to be the "bad guy' when in fact you were actually the victim of a spiritual crime. Again, all that is going to change. The Lord would say to you today,
"The days of your morning are over, your Jubilee year is now upon you. I have begun your vindication. It will come swiftly."
Ezekiel said it this way,
"None of my words will be prolonged any more, but the word which I the Lord have spoken to you shall be done now." (Eze. 12:28)
##### A Word For Leaders
I declare prophetically that a season of great vindication and long overdue justice for you, especially if you are one of His leaders, is upon you right now. God has already begun the necessary process of vindicating you. You have suffered betrayal, false accusation, broken promises, and abandonment long enough.
As a result you've been disillusioned about the call of God upon your life far too long. Be encouraged: The Lord is delivering you from the results of past problems, situations, and circumstances that delayed, or in some extreme cases, actually robbed you of your destiny in God. I hear the Lord saying to you,
"All will be as it was suppose to be, says the Lord. There will be no part of your destiny delayed, and no part of your destiny denied. Is there anything too hard for me?"
##### Vindication, Vindication, Vindication
Indeed, vindication is the key word, the "now" word of the Lord. I hear it in my spirit loud and clear for you. To all His wonderful and wounded warriors, to all who have suffered abuse at the hands of others, the Lord would comfort you with these words in season.
"I am vindicating you now. You are being exonerated now, you are about to experience true justice now."
##### Power, Gifting and Authority
You are now about to experience the promotion in God you have waited patiently for. The seven years of explosive increase of power, gifting, and authority is yours for the taking. Indeed, you are going to the next level. The promises of God in your life are about to be wonderfully and powerfully fulfilled very quickly.
##### Your Response?
Now here's the hard part of this prophetic promise, the part you will really need "ears to hear." Often a prophecy's impact is only as good as the response to it. Whether or not this [prophecy](https://www.raininternational.com/prophetic/dennis-cramer-prophecy-2005.02.23/#prophecy) for the church impacts you personally, depends entirely on your proper and biblical response.
A prophecy's impact is only as good as your response to it.
No doubt you will be asked by God to participate in the healing and restoration of formerly broken relationships, especially with Christians. Please do so graciously and humbly, just as Christ would. Say yes to any and all whom are looking to be reconciled with you.
##### Olive Branches
I predict that people, saved and unsaved, from your past will soon visit you. They will come with olive branches in their hands looking to establish peace with you. I urge you to accept their offering and participate enthusiastically in the peace process.
God's part during this new seven year season will be to vindicate you in incredible ways. Like Joseph you are coming out of your dungeon and are about to experience God's great favor upon your life, a true season of amazing promotion awaits you.
However, your part, and this is critical, is to "...not rejoice when your enemies fall." (Pro. 24:17)
So, welcome to your seven-year Jubilee season!
Blessings,
Denny Cramer

|  |  Dr. Jonathan David Prophecy - 2005.01.07 |  | |
| | | ##### Prophetic Word for 2005 by Dr. Jonathan David
Prophetic word through [Dr. Jonathan David](https://www.jonathan-david.org/) for 2005 - 7th January 2005. Visit his website here: [www.jonathan-david.org](https://www.jonathan-david.org/).
The days ahead of us are a Year of Acceleration towards the destinies that God has ordained for each nation. We are not only in the Kairos of God; the set time and allotted time of favour but we are in acceleration towards bringing all things within that time frame into completion.
##### Church Moving by the Spirit into Kairos Hour of Favour
There is a strong quickening anointing that is hastening the process of fulfilment of His promises and His purposes. God in His mercy and with the present outpouring of the Holy Spirit has moved His church into a new Kairos of His Favour. He has moved them into alignment with His plans and purposes. He has upgraded and updated them with all that He is saying and doing. The church has been freshly baptized with the prophetic grace and revelations (Proverbs 20:12). This has caused the church to become fully aware of the time we are living in and have placed upon them an urgency that we need to keep abreast with His movements here on the earth.
This prophetic awareness has brought about a sober evaluation of where we are spiritually. It has unveiled the spiritual state we are in and has given us His perspectives on all that is happening to us and around us. This has only magnified our need for more of Him and a deep intense cry of passion, love and hunger is rising to meet God.
Like the virgins who have heard the cry of the bridegroom's friend, the church is rising from her slumber. There is an acute awareness that we are living in the final days of time and at the edge of eternity. The church is beginning to trim her lamps and she is shining brighter into her community. There is a greater vibrance and radiance in the churches that have embraced the prophetic voice of the Holy Spirit through His prophets on the earth. There is a sense of freshness and excitement that the final encounter with the bridegroom will happen soon. This anticipation is across the earth in every true church of God that has been revived and refreshed by the spiritual activities of the Holy Spirit in the bride.
Those who had allowed a greater capacity of God to develop in their lives for God, will see a well of water rising from within them. The five wise virgins found that they had oil reserves within them while the foolish ones were only now trying to go to the dealers to buy oil.
For those of us who have been labouring long in His Presence, those who have been praying through with fasting and pressing into God with intense passion, you are in for a surprise! God will breakout from within you like the breakforth of many waters. God will rise within you and His glory shall be seen upon you. Those who have been tirelessly toiling shall see that they have enlarged their spiritual capacity and God has broken up the fallow ground and created more space within them. God is going to graciously reward those who have been making room for Him in their hearts and in their lives. Those who have been removing the obstacles, the hindrances of the flesh and the weights from their hearts are going to see a fresh approval from God, in that He will consume the sacrifice and fill that area of their lives with Himself.
The years ahead of us are times we have been crying and praying for. These are the days of fulfilment of what God had spoken to us in the past. This is the future He has always promised you. These are the days you have seen only as a dream. The day of fulfilment is here. This day of reality is here. This is the beginning of the best days of your life (Ezekiel 12:22- 3; 27- 8).
##### Destiny to be Reached in this Year of Acceleration
This is the Year of Acceleration. You and I are going to move quickly towards our destiny and towards our finish. I want you to be encouraged and motivated to make all efforts abound as you press into this year of God's purposes for your lives.
God has placed upon my heart an awesome sense of destiny. He is releasing me to say things I have waited years for to receive. He has been gracious to touch my lips once again to carry a word that will sustain you and cause you to prevail in the years ahead. Receive this word of Grace which is able to build you up and give you an inheritance among the saints. (Acts 20:32)
The Year 2005 is the Year of Acceleration. This year will speed up and hasten the processes of time moving all things in heaven and on earth toward the consummation of ages. 2005 is the beginning of that move of God to bring all things to a place called finish. (Hebrews 9:26-28)
God is intervening upon the earth, to bring into the consciousness of men that things will not go on as usual. This paradigm is rudely interrupted and challenged. Men will no longer be able to maintain a mind that all things will continue just as it was from the beginning of creation. (2 Peter 3:4-5) He will confront the wise in His wisdom and the arrogant mockers in their folly. God in His mercy do not want the world to perish but come to His saving knowledge.
2005 is the beginning of a New Awakening of God consciousness on the earth. The spiritual awareness of eternity and the frailty of human lives has hit us hard through the tsunami disaster that hit Asia on the 26th December 2004. God's time has clocked in. Men have been arrested in the minds that life is fragile, and the earth is just a temporary dwelling!
##### Power to Save, Heal and Deliver
This year will be arrested with a God consciousness unlike any other years. They kept feeling a sense of Awe in the book of Acts because God was manifesting with signs, wonders, miracles and supernatural healings (Acts 2:43). Not only will we see world events that prove the frailty of men and the need for God but the apostolic and prophetic ministries will be intensely used to bring in the consciousness of God's awesome Presence into the earth and not just the church. There will be a supernatural release of His power to save, heal and deliver His people in this year 2005.
The second most powerful feature of this Year of Acceleration is that God will quicken the Process of maturity in the saints moving them from being a saint into a son. The awesome power of His presence will create a God consciousness that will lead to wisdom. The fear of God is the beginning of wisdom. Men will choose to walk wisely as they sense more and more of Him. The church will become arrested with His Presence not just during times of worship or corporate gathering but also on a personal encounter with God. God will dwell among the candlesticks. He will no longer be an Unseen Guest in your house or a silent listener to your conversations. The God whom you seek in the heavens will manifest suddenly among His people in the temple (Malachi 3:1). The acute consciousness of His Presence and our spiritual state before Him will become an ongoing experience these years ahead of us as we move towards our destiny and eternity!
The church will mature quickly in their lives and character. There will be a sudden explosion of maturity. Even the new believers will mature quickly and rise to leadership responsibilities. Many unlikely candidates will arise in the midst of God's people. Many will come out of their cares to the frontlines of the battle field. Many will come out of their shells and into the days of their manifestation. The maturity of the believers must move from benefits of salvation to become products or fruits of salvation. Most believers enjoy only the benefits of what Christ has done for them. But in this year God will get fruits from His people. Many sons will be brought into glory (Hebrews 2:10).
The quickening grace will speed up the processes of maturity in the believers. There will be a maturing in their thinking patterns thus a permanent change of lifestyles. Metamorphosis is irreversible change not temporary change! There will be a strong maturing in the area of their emotions as thoughts control feelings. There will also be a maturing within the attitudes and motives of the believers. There will be intense revelations of the power of the cross and the price paid for our salvation that will see the pulling down of self and the works of the flesh in our lives. This is not the die to self, self inflicting cult but a people who will volunteer freely in the Day of His Powers (Psalm 110 :3). There will be tremendous joy of knowing the power of the fellowship in His sufferings. God will find a people for Himself who will gladly and willingly give their lives to Him to serve His purpose. There will be yieldedness in the church to present themselves wholly and fully unto God. God does not have to bruise His sons to bring them into obedience.
##### Authority Released
The third significant feature of this Year of Acceleration is that many will find special power in His Presence to be equipped and empowered to do all that God has given us to do in this hour. There will be a tremendous enabling grace as well as the necessary ingredients of wisdom, provision and personal favour to finish God's will on the earth. Those who have been commissioned by God should expect no trouble (Ecclesiastes 8:4-5). When God has called you on a royal commission you will not experience any trouble or resistance as you are covered under His Word of authority.
The Centurion Soldier understood the power of authority and what the words of a man with authority will do. (Matthew 8:8-9) The Word of authority will do what the Person in authority can do! When God has called you to execute His plans do not compromise on your primary assignment. When we compromise on His will, we will destroy our future. Do not compromise on obedience as it will alter your destiny.
##### Kingdom Advancement
There is a new generation of people God is selecting and commissioning who will have an uncommon commitment to finish the course. They will pursue one great decisive aim with force and sheer determination until they have attained the goal. They won't quit the goal short of attainment. Their commitment to God's cause will become legendary. They know that their obedience will be the key to ongoing success and kingdom advancement.
God will show kindness to these choice instruments by opening for them opportunities that cannot come otherwise. They will be in the right places at the right time doing God things while producing God kind of results! Some will be in the area of business while others could be in the areas of someone's salvation, healing or deliverance. God will use these choice instruments to carry out major work for kingdom advancement.
Those who choose to do His will and to finish it will find this special favour of a God who will cause all things to work together for good to those who love God and to those who are called according to His purpose. (Romans 8:28)
##### Righteous will Become More Rrighteous
The fourth significant feature of this Year of Acceleration is that the Righteous will become more righteous and the wicked will become more wicked. The gap between the righteous and the wicked will become wider and wider and you'll be able to discern the true from the false. All grey areas of compromise in lifestyles, doctrines and human personalities will become clearer. You will know the wicked as wicked and the false prophets as a false prophet, God will expose the true nature of the false ministries!
This Year is the Year of Separation. The wicked will be gathered together. The righteous will be gathered together. The Father will remove all stumbling blocks from His kingdom so that the righteous sons will shine in the kingdom of their father. (Matthew 13:40-43)
God has tolerated the wicked and stumbling blocks in His kingdom until now. He is gathering those who are His. (2 Timothy 2:19). The Lord knows those who are His Prophets and His Apostles. Many are operating in His Name but do not carry His nature. Many are trying to speak for Him even though He had not sent them. Many across the earth are going to be exposed as Balaam was.
False ministries, false teachings and doctrines will be exposed by the light of the revelation of the Holy Spirit. So we will AGAIN distinguish between the righteous and the wicked, between one who serves God and one who does not serve Him (Mal. 3:18)
The true conditions of the hearts of people are going to be exposed before God. The Word of God when it is sown exposes the condition of the hearts already present before the sower. (Matthew 13:3-9) The prophetic anointing will help to reveal the quality of hearts even in our congregations. (1 Corinthians 14:24-25)
##### True Apostolic Grace
No heart will be able to hide before His Presence. No false ministries will be able to keep on deceiving the elect and righteous. God is raising up true shepherds and teachers who will teach by revelation and impart insights that will protect the elect from being deceived. God will reveal truth to expose deception and false doctrines. God will reveal true apostles who will model true apostolic grace and lifestyles that we will be able to discern those who are false. (Revelation 2:2)
God will put into the righteous the ability to become better and better but He will remove His grace from the wicked in that they can only become more and more wicked. This will expose them because the grace of repentance is taken away and they are enroute to hell. This is going to be true of saints in the kingdom!
In this year of separation, the righteous will be set on course towards their destiny. They will become better and better and move into greater measures of grace and glory. They can only become better and better. The only way they can go is up. It would to be impossible to curse that which has been blessed. (Numbers 23:11, 24:10)
In Genesis 26:12-16, it reveals that when Isaac sowed himself in obedience to God, he reaped a hundred fold for his obedience. What is stated after that is phenomenal. "The Lord blessed him and the MAN became rich and continued to grow richer until he became very wealthy." When Isaac obeyed God, God put into him an impartation of a prevailing seed so that the man carried within him the power of increase and multiplication! The Bible did not say he became rich rather the man became rich and continues to grow richer until he became very wealthy. There was a dynamics within him that was breaking through from the inside. Out of his inner most being rivers of living water was flowing out. The Philistines acknowledge he was becoming too powerful for them. They recognized that something was flowing into his life and flow out as power which they could not match. (verse 16)
The obvious manifestation of God's grace upon his life became an object of envy among the Philistine. This will set the righteous apart with distinguished features of divine dynamics and nature that makes them favoured before God. The wicked will not be so as the presence of God and the dynamics of the Holy Spirit will not flow through them. The days of separation are here upon us. The day of accountability is also the day of reckoning. God will begin His judgment in His house. He will separate the good fish from the bad and the good hearts from the weak and the tares from the wheat!
The fifth significant feature in this Year of Acceleration is that God will release the power to make wealth and give us the wisdom to administer it. I believe that God has been raising His kingdom government upon choice instruments who will have a portfolio of a finance minister. "They will spend from the pocket of Jehovah" my covenant friend Dr. Tunde Bakare says.
These finance ministers will be positioned to draw resources into the move of God so that God's purposes will be fulfilled and His kingdom government advanced. They will have the grace not only to make wealth but also the power to gather wealth or accumulate wealth. Some will also be given the grace to discover wealth that is hidden but reserved for kingdom use. These generation of finance ministers are more than just givers but governmental ministries that represents the government of heaven. They will finance the harvest and kingdom ventures through aligning themselves to those moving in the Holy Spirit. They will be on site where the move of God is happening. They will be where God is moving to release resources to accelerate what God has begun. They will allocate resource to all the plans of God already approved in the parliament of heaven.
Many of today's kingdom givers will be promoted to governmental authority to distribute what God has in His kingdom. Many of these choice instruments will have quick access to resources and they will be there to finance kingdom advance.
Our mission giving must be re-evaluated as much of our resources are going towards sustaining someone on an administrative job! Many resources are being channel to grounds that have termites and these givers wonder why their seed did not return in blessings towards them! The teachings on kingdom finance need an accurate apostolic interpretation as much of the doctrines in the church are propagated by teachers rather than apostles!
There is a new breed without greed rising on the horizons across the nations of the earth. I believe God will position these ministers of His Kingdom to redistribute His resources toward His purposes. Giving money to sustain a person is an inaccurate way of training someone for financial breakthroughs. That is the reason why so many are looking towards foreign support or support from others to help them finish their cause on the earth. Our faith will make us whole. Our faith must be in God rather than in what others have. We must financially support everyone on the frontlines of ministry who are advancing God's purposes in the region. There are some worthy labourers who deserve double honour and these must be searched and supported. But I am speaking of those who receive honorarium without honour!
During this Year of Acceleration, the Lord has also given warnings about areas that would cause those who are set on course towards destiny to become derailed. The devil will do everything possible to deceive even the elect. In every journey of life there are precautions to take and warnings to heed. This year 2005 is no exception.
The first area of warning is in the area of anxiety, frustration and bitterness caused by strained relationship. God has promised to release PEACE that passes all understanding so that we will crush the serpent under our feet (Rom. 16:20). Isaac moved out from his father's wells and dug his own wells (Gen. 26:19-21). Two of those wells were called Esek (which means contention) and Sitnah (which means enmity). In our journeying this year, be forewarned of any relationship around you that can bring a negative contentions spirit against your life. God will preserve you from everyone who will stand in opposition to you and resist you as you advance towards your destiny. There is a strong provision of Peace to cover your mind in the day of battle from fear and anxiety. The attack of the enemy is to arrest your mind with fear, anxiety and confusion in order to paralyze you in acting and executing God's will and plans for your life. Like Isaac move away from these positions of resistance on your life and turn towards Rehoboth! (Gen. 26:22) The Lord promised that His peace will guard your mind and heart. (Is. 26:3) Do not press the panic button and become reactive. Be still in the strength of His presence upon your life and the Lord who is your shepherd will act on your behalf.
In this year of Acceleration, many events and situation can cause your heart to fret and fear. But keep your heart from anxiety. Keep your emotions from becoming entangled in the mess of the situations. Guard your heart with all diligence for all the issue of life flow from it (Proverbs 4:23). Do not be drawn into strained relationship and become contaminated by an offence. Move away from there and go towards a broader place for expression and fruitfulness!
The second area of the Lord's warning was in the issue of protection from blitz attacks the enemy may launch against the elect. The Lord has promised those who are covered by divine authority and those who walk under submission will be protected by lighting attacks the enemy will launch against those who are journeying towards their destiny. The reason for these attacks is to draw us away from our focus and to derail us. A fast car can get off the road if it does not negotiate accurately to avoid a sudden movement into its pathway. The unexpected remark, the unexpected outburst, the sudden change of heart or events can catch all of us by surprise. Protect yourselves by coming under spiritual authority who will cover you with prayer and godly counsel. Those with information in their head will only give you advice but those with the Word of the Lord in their mouth will give you the counsel of the Lord.
The issue of covering will be a major object of contention as the spirit of lawlessness will be on the rise. Many budding ministries will become target of the spirit of lawlessness and succumb to the temptation of walking alone. These will be singled out for devastation.
Covering is provided by a headship ministry. Seek for someone over your lives who will cover you in prayer, counsel and provide input into your life, so that you grow into greater stature and into your destiny. The importance of receiving apostolic input cannot be diminished.
The issue of fathering will be challenged as confusions of the wrong patterns of control and manipulation will cause reactions of fear and anxiety. History often repeats itself in all restoration moves. People either swing to this side of the pendulum or the other. God will raise up true apostolic models of authority structures that will reveal God's ancient boundaries of government.
God will raise up apostolic fathers who will be able to cover the church as Joseph did Mary and protect the seed that is within her. They will cover them through the power of covenant relationships and legalize the seed God has sown. Joseph did not use his privilege as a husband until the baby was born. A new generation of fathers is rising on the earth that will not destroy what is in their sons. They will not be threatened by what their sons are carrying within their hearts. True fathers will be there for their sons. We will see true apostolic covering that will provide supernatural protection from demonic attacks. The spiritual dimension of an apostolic spirit in the father can give the sons wisdom to act, courage to fight and ability to represent their fathers in true fashion in apostolic succession. The disciples and apostle could do what Jesus did not only because they were connected to Him in relationship on the earth but also by a spiritual dimension in the heavens. Jesus told them not to rejoice because the spirit is subject to them but rejoice that their names are recorded in heaven. Our names are intertwined and woven into His name. We are part of that name and carry equal authority over the power of hell. May God's grace and protection be yours as you pursue towards your destiny.
Be blessed and stay connected.

|  |  Dr. Ron Kussmaul Prophecy - 2004.03.04 |  | |
| | | Prophecy by Dr. Ron & Johanna Kussmaul on 04 March 2004
For surely says the Lord, that which was and that which is will surely be poured out in a greater measure this year than you've seen before and I shall gather My body together and My body will prepare to make great gains in the earth. I shall continue to shake the earth so you shall continue to see things on your television that will tend to shake the normal person. Fearful sights and fearful sounds and things that deter and change nations but do not fear because these things must take place in order for My plan to be fulfilled. As you read your Bible from front to back you've always seen nations fall and nations rise. You've seen people go into captivity and physical bondage 70 years at a time, God's people, because they disobeyed.
Over and over and over I've had to take them on these trips and sojourns to train and get them and prepare and wait for another whole generation. I had to wait for another one to pass away. And I had to wait for another one to grow up, but I tell you, My people, I'm running out of generations. Your generation is very important to Me.
Use My Word and use it well. Step out on My faith and you shall surely be able to tell that you've believed for this and you've surely received it. Use what I have given you and never ever be deceived by the enemy. He knows your weaknesses, blind spots and all and his only exercise is to make you fall.
Never leave My Word, but use it as a sure path, straight and narrow, to walk through this life and danger you'll never see because you trust, have faith and exercise it in Me.
Ron: Speaking in Tongues.
Johanna: For the year that is before you will indeed be a year of more, but the year that is before you will be different than what you have thought, for though there will be more, you will always look to the plenty and the good, and that is all right for My children, but this year will be a year that is different and a year that will have more of the things that will cause others to fear.
So, determine in your hearts the path that you will take. Determine in your hearts to stand, determine in your hearts to withstand that when you arrive at the end of the year you will remain and though what you see around you may be different. It will be more, for you see that is the path I open to you. Choose the path you walk.
Ron: For I have created a sure foundation for you, the rock Christ Jesus, doing, hearing, seeing and operating in His Word. Doing the sayings of Jesus should surely provide for you a solid footing for you to walk through the things that will take place this year. Many things will take place, many things will change, things that we would say, O, God, we didn't want this, we prayed against it, we don't want it.
My Divine will must be exercised in the earth, you can pray all you want to, but when My will is the other direction, My will will take place and precedence over your will. Know this and understand it. I must have certain things put in place, good things and evil. No, I don't place the evil things, but I lift My Hand from a nation and all of a sudden things change. The only reason I lift My Hand is because they disobeyed and disobeyed and disobeyed and disobeyed and disobeyed. I sent warnings, I sent angels and I sent men of God and women of God, I sent My prophets and apostles to point the way back to Me, but they won't come into line with My Word and they begin to hinder My time schedule.
For we're on a great race, you and I and we're headed at a fearful pace and it's faster than you think and it's slipping like grains of sand through the hourglass. It cannot and it will not last forever, but you're a chosen generation, you're a blessed people and I shall use you in the midst of what appears to be turmoil.
Ron: Speaking In Tongues
Johanna: And I will use you in the midst of turmoil because I have heated you and beaten on you as I have prepared you to stretch and to reach out and to touch the areas of Me. I have equipped you and I have unleashed you to be used as the extension of My hand in these coming months and years.
Ron: For many people in many places, will look towards you. Yes, they'll look toward you because they will see something on you that they don't have. They'll see something on you that's worth being in the midst of things that don't work and they'll wonder how My people are so blessed and so strengthened and so safe and so sound in the midst of the turmoil. No, I didn't create the turmoil, it happens all by itself in the earth system.
The earth system destructs and destroys itself over and over and over. The money system destroys itself and moves on, Military systems destroy themselves and move on. False religions destroy themselves and move on. Nothing that happens surprises Me, says God, because I've seen it all before.
This is simply a rerun of an old movie to Me and I understand that and that's the way I look at it. I know exactly where it's going to end and I know exactly where it's going and I know exactly what I need you to do.
There will be more activity (Ron speaking in tongues) of angels in the earth and understand this, that's not My best, that's not My best, that's not My best. But I inject an infusion of angels who'll be seen visibly. They'll talk to people and they'll do certain things, they'll even minister and deliver messages at times, but it's because people have been hardhearted and shallow and hard of hearing and dull of heart that I've had to use them and inject them back into the earth. But they'll be seen in many nations around the earth for the next three years.
Understand it and realize that there will be phenomenon upon phenomenon that is unexplainable, saith the Lord, and no one will understand how it happened, but I have done it through My messengers and I will deliver words over nations.
The power, the power of the Spirit shall intercept the power of the earth and things that did not happen in sequence, in quality and in quantity for a very long time will happen over and over again.
Many dead will be raised. Through that, I will shake many nations, prayers will be answered instantly, translation from one place to another shall take place.
I shall raise up and exalt those who can handle it. I've lost many of My people because they could not handle it, but I know those who can. Those who can keep that cloak of humility, they shall surely excel and exceed in the things of life. But in the midst of it, they shall be of no reputation for I shall keep them totally untarnished, saith the Lord.
They are Mine and they shall do exactly what I shall have them to do and they shall be exactly what I shall have them to be and they shall shine like lights in the darkness. Men will try to exalt them and they shall humble themselves in the midst of it. People shall say great things about them and they shall take it as nought for they shall be a pure, sanctified people before Me. And they shall live lives that are exemplary in the sight of My body and because of that a spirit shall go forth; a spirit of excellence, a spirit of quality and a spirit of strength in the heart of My people that has been missing for centuries and a mighty people should be raised up at this time. A people of integrity that will be drawn one to another and that integrity --- a spirit of honesty and pure heartedness --- will flow from them and it will be like a magnet to draw them, one another, together. They shall recognize one another on the streets by the Spirit.
They should commune with one another in a holy band and I shall use them (Ron speaking in tongues) like a sharp three bladed arrow, Father, Son and Holy Spirit and I shall sharpen this group of people to penetrate through the shallowness and beyond into the pure righteous concepts that I have laid forth in My Word.
It shall cost an awesome price to a few, but they should be examples of glory as in days of old and they shall provide a standard for the others to bear that will never dip its colors in the face of the enemy. And I shall use them in greater measures quietly around the earth to produce the setting for the last days.
Know that I am counting upon you, know that I understand, know that I am compassionate, know that I will strengthen you, know that I am watching you every moment of your day, know that I am with you, My children, not only today, but in every single way.

|  |  Word for the Global Church - 2003.10.11 |  | |
| | | The Voice of the Lord came to me on Saturday morning, saying:
I am initiating a new season of change and uprooting in the Church and the world, in order to set a platform for the revelation of My Glory in the earth.
Changes have come into My Church during the past few years shaking the "established" ways and methods of man, and offending many who have followed after Me in word but not in deed.
These tendencies will continue as this new season of change commences.
Because of these changes and "offences" many will choose to separate themselves from the Body and follow their own agendas and ideas. Be warned, if they do not repent, many will become wolves in sheep's clothing and should you not be careful, you will be led astray not so much by the doctrine you hear them preach, but by the unseen spirit that drives them.
They will look and sound as though they are following the Truth, but the spirit behind them will not be Mine.
Many have and will continue to point to Me and say, "I am the Christ", but their hearts will not be with Me.
Many of the changes that I am releasing into the Body of Christ will start to manifest within the next 12 months, says the Lord.
Therefore be careful which voices you listen to and who's doctrines you allow to influence your lives.
Many of these changes will happen suddenly and unexpectedly.
Firstly, to facilitate change, I have started removing some of My Generals who have run a full race and who have been faithful to me in fulfilling their callings. There will be more of My generals who will be taken out of the earth at this time, but I am not saying that you will hear about it in the media.
Nonetheless, I am removing some of them so others who have been waiting in the "wings" can move into position and into My perfect will for their lives.
However, this is only a sign to you in the natural of what I have already begun in the spiritual.
You will begin to see leadership changes not only in the Church, but also in the leadership of Nations, Companies and Business, as well as changes in the leadership of the Military, Police, and similar organisations.
When I bring changes in Leadership, the principle of a "new broom sweeps clean" comes into operation.
For every mission I call a Man or a Woman to, there is a specific method to bring the vision and mission into manifestation, and this method is what will facilitate many of the changes I am bringing into the earth.
You see, I look for men and women who are prepared to do whatever it takes to accomplish their mission and vision (this also goes for those who do not serve Me), and despite the fact that the method and way they may implement their vision might be offensive to the "establishment" and "status quo" of the day, I will use them to bring change.
I remind you that the "king's heart is in My hand and as rivers of water I turn it whichever way I please".
So, whosoever is pure of heart and is willing to go and flow with the spiritual reformation I am releasing into the earth, that person will be used by Me to accomplish My will and purposes.
Does My Word not say that in the "last days" I will pour out My Spirit on ALL flesh? This means all flesh - both "saved" and "unsaved" flesh.
This means that whenever you come into contact with any person on the face of the earth, My Spirit will already have been "poured" out upon them and they will have been prepared to receive your ministry.
So, when you trust Me to appoint the correct leaders in their respective positions, know that My Spirit has already been working in their lives irrespective of the fact that you may or may not agree with their doctrines, policies, religious or political views.
I will have My way in the earth at this time and I will no longer allow the enemy's strongholds to stand in My way and in the way of the advancement of My Church!
Together with fresh leadership there will come a fresh revelation of My Word. Many of the "new" leaders I am releasing at this time will build on what they have learnt from and were taught by My Generals.
However, this fresh revelation will come at a price (those who have laid their lives down) and will be accompanied by a fresh Anointing not seen before in many parts of My Church.
This Anointing I am releasing upon My Word will manifest the yoke destroying and bondage breaking power of My Spirit in a new way.
Not only will this anointing be released from the "pulpit", but as my people go about their daily tasks, they will find that even in ordinary conversations with friends or strangers, they will see the power of My Spirit moving upon the lives of people.
There will be a manifestation of the Gifts of My Spirit in an unprecedented way and it will be wise of you to make sure that you remain sensitive and in tune with My Spirit at all times.
However, be warned that this fresh fire will be resisted fiercely by those who refuse to change, and as with those who were sinful in the presence of My Glory before the Ark of the Covenant, the fire will consume those who are stiff-necked and hard of heart.
Also note that many of My servants who flow with Me, will be deemed to be proud and arrogant by those who harbour religion in their hearts, as these servants of Mine will be judged according to the flesh and not according to the Spirit.
Because of religious resistance, many churches will close down and be forgotten, their leadership turning to the world and backsliding to the detriment of many of the sheep who follow them.
This will cause a rift in many sections of My Body, but to those who discern correctly after the flesh, the blessing of My spirit will be lavished upon them because they have received the "prophet" in the name of a "prophet".
The second change I am bringing is the way finances will be brought into the Church and handled by My people.
Yes, I am releasing financial prosperity into the Church, but it will only come to those who have proven themselves to be good stewards.
The good stewards are those who have not compromised their integrity in the times of severe lack and chose to continue to honour Me with all of their substance.
Some who are extremely prosperous now, will find their supplies starting to dwindle because of unethical practises they have allowed into their lives and businesses. However, if they humble themselves and pray, and seek My face, I will reveal to them the error of their ways and when they lay down their lives to follow Me in everything they do, I will open the sluice-gates of heaven in a way they have never seen before.
On the other hand, if they do not repent, I will after a season allow them to be publicly exposed, and although this is not My will and way to embarrass My children, the laws of your land have to run the full course.
Remember, where your treasure is, there will your heart be, and if the treasure in your heart is good, you will bring forth good fruit. So, continue to keep your hearts pure and continue to walk in My way so that your fruit may be good and your light may be seen by those around you.
Another change I am bringing into the Church is a change to the structure and method many of My servants have implemented to mobilise the Church to pray.
Yes, it is My will and desire that you pray at all times with all manner of prayer, and, yes, it is My will and desire that you petition Me for an outpouring of My Spirit!
However, much of the prayer initiated in this way is based on doubt and unbelief and reveals a severe lack of Who I Am and what My Word has to say about issues.
It is not the amount of prayer that is important, but the faith and unity that is evident at the time the prayer is prayed.
Does My Word not say that even the heathen think they will be heard because of their "much speaking"? I call this vain repetition and many of you are busy with vain repetition.
I would rather you spend time with Me and get to know Me, but instead you think you are heard because you repeat prayers everyone else is praying.
I prefer to answer one anointed word cried out in intercessory agony and travail from the bottom of your heart than all the words spoken as if by religious rote.
Remember, prayer and intercession is a ministry of helps in My Body, and not a Five-fold ministry as many have made it out to be.
Much of the praying at present is aimed at the symptom of the problem rather than the root of the problem. Many prayers are aimed at the devil instead of the hearts of men and women where the real power for change is seated.
When the hearts of men and women are changed, they will change they way they think and do things, and this will result in lasting spiritual change in the Church and in society.
I am presently "downloading" fresh revelation into the hearts of leaders of prayer movements, and I am raising up proper Apostolic and Prophetic leadership to come in and correct the errors that have been promulgated by many.
Your prayers will change and become more powerful as you listen to My Spirit and obey Him in praying for the root of problems and not simply the symptoms.
Remember, one Word from My Spirit spoken out in prayer and laced with Faith and My Anointing can bring change not only to individuals, but also to cities, geographical territories and nations.
During this time of change and upheaval, find your rest in Me and not in the things which religion and the world have to offer you.
My Word says for you to "strive and labour to enter My rest, so you won't fall by the wayside because of unbelief".
Seek My Face and build relationship with Me and you will see My Glory revealed through earthen vessels.
My Glory shall cover the earth and My Kingdom shall be revealed in the earth.
(This prophecy given to Jan van Rooyen on 11 October 2003 after a season of communing with the Lord and listening to His Spirit)

|  |  Dr. Jonathan David Prophecy - 2003.10.03 |  | |
| | | Prophetic word through Dr Jonathan David for South Africa - 3rd October 2003 in Boksburg, South Africa. Visit his website here: [www.jonathan-david.org](https://www.jonathan-david.org/).
I believe there is a spiritual release. In 1994 when God released this nation from the powers that held you back and the sanctions of the world that has kept you behind. - God gave you a new start.
I want you to know in 2004 there is a fresh wind coming to South Africa. This is what the wind will do: The wind WILL remove the chaff. There is a wind coming 10 years after the first wind of 1994 this is the wind that's coming in 2004. I see it written in the heavens tonight. This wind is coming to blow across South Africa and God is going to remove the chaff, all the stubble, the wood and the hay. God is just going to blow it all across until it is swallowed up in the sea!
You will see a new grain, new seeds, rising all across South Africa. God will begin to take this seed and not just plant it in South Africa but He is going to plant that seed all across Africa, a little here, a little there, a little here, a little there. It shall go all the way up north to Europe. There will be men and women that will rise from South Africa they will go into Europe, go into Russia, they will go right up into the Eastern blocks. God says - I'm going to send the wind in 2004 and I'm going to move the chaff out of the land.
And this time God says I want you to hide in My presence, for a strong wind of my Spirit WILL COME! There will be judgement in My house; there will be dealings in My house. I will disqualify men who hold places and positions that they should not hold. I will remove, I will cleanse, I will put aside and sanctify so that the seed that I have planted in South Africa will not be hidden because of the chaff - it will not be covered because of the chaff! And God says, I'm going to remove everything that is not of ME and reveal that which I have begun in South Africa.
Ten years, ten years that the Lord has been working. In those ten years God has sown seeds in this land. Those seeds are going to be revealed ! His seeds are going to be reveal, His truth is going to be revealed, His ministries are going to be revealed, His churches are going to be revealed, His people are going to be revealed. That which is of Him shall be revealed but that which is not of Him will be removed by the strong wind that is coming.
I see the Lord is saying this word, from now until then, hide in prayer, hide in My Presence, hide in My presence, pray, guard yourself, keep yourself in the presence of the Most Holy God, hide yourself in the secret place of the Almighty. For the strong wind will come and sweep over. God will remove men, God will remove ministries and God will remove even whole churches because that which is not of Him SHALL be removed. The seeds will begin to spread everywhere. God will sow South Africa as a seed into the nations in Africa, into the nations in Europe. Get ready men of God, pastors, leaders get ready for the hour is coming when the strong wind of the Holy Ghost will begin to come and cleanse. Hide yourself in His Presence!
And then he Prayed:
Ask the Lord, "let me remain in Your Presence, let me not be that one that will be removed but I will remain, I will stay, I will abide".
Prophecy Continued:
I see in the spirit that God is looking for fruits in the land. After 10 years He is looking for a harvest. The reason why He wants to do that is because He is going to take the seed and sow. Seed for the Sower! Will you allow your church to be the seed that I can sow into the continent of Africa. One of the reasons why there is so much chaos, so much religious politics, is because everybody is concentrating on the small country of Africa - South Africa. God says I want you to look as far as you can see and I will give it to you. Lift up your eyes and see - have I not set the land before you, have I not set the continent of Africa for you? Then why struggle to keep the few, see beyond these boundaries for I will cause you even to spread to the north, south, the east and west. Far and wide you shall spread.
And then he Prayed:
Holy Spirit we ask of You to send this wind as promised. 2004 - ten years after we have been liberated, sanctions been removed and called to the studying line - ten years have passed. O God, we hear You by Your Spirit that You will cleanse the chaff, remove the chaff so that that which You have begun - will be seen. O God we pray that fruits will glorify You; there will be fruits that will remain by the Power of the Spirit.
Exhortation:
Give yourself completely to God because the years ahead will be years when God will begin to measure our lives. If you are a pastor or a leader, a minister I want you to lift your hearts because God is coming by His Spirit - the winds will blow everything that is not of Him out and that which is of Him will only remain because He is coming to look for fruit, fruit in South Africa. Not talk, not meetings, not religious activities but fruit in the seeds that we have sown. Now the harvest is coming.
Lord we dedicate our lives to You - we give ourselves completely to You. We know You have moved the powers of hell out, but this wind is coming to move everything that is not of You out. Only that which is of You will remain. Lift your hearts to Him, lift your lives to Him. There is no higher call; there is no greater pathway. The year ahead of us is going to be a significant time and we have a couple of months more to hide ourselves in His presence, to get our lives sorted because the wind is coming, strong winds of the Holy Ghost will remove the chaff from the grain, remove the tares from the wheat, remove the wicked from the righteous so that which is of Him will remain. Then He will begin to take that and sow all across as He has promised.

|  |  Dr. Ron Kussmaul Prophecy - 2003.10.02 |  | |
| | | Prophetic Word by Dr. Ron Kussmaul on 02 October 2003
"For the Word of The Lord came unto me Saying:
I shall divide the nations and I shall separate them. I shall divide the people and I shall separate them. I shall divide the sheep from the goats. I shall divide those that follow Me from those that follow darkness.
And I shall surely do a thing in your sight where signs and wonders and miracles abound and you shall see these things and not understand in the natural, but if you follow your spirit, you'll know exactly what you are dealing with and you'll be led by your spirit.
When others are full of great fear, you'll be full of great hope. So, grow the level of your faith and link it to that great Hope and what others lose you shall gain.
I shall do this to nations. I shall do this to provinces. I shall do this to cities. I shall do this to areas of cities. And I shall bring that division.
Did I not tell you when I was on the earth? I did not come to bring peace at that time - I came to bring division. The mother-in-law against the daughter-in-law and the daughter-in-law against the mother-in-law. A son-in-law against the father-in-law.
Did I not say these things? Did they not come to pass then as a small sign to you? They're coming now upon the earth so that I can set My timetable in order.
And through this, I will adjust what needs to be adjusted to put this earth back on My time schedule. For the time grows short and things must be done and you must hear My Spirit and be ready to run. You will run and be productive all the days of your life, if you do not fear and enter into strife. But those that struggle will always have trouble and wind up fighting spiritual warfare both day and night. They'll not see the blessings when they come by for the taking, because they're focused on the defeated enemy and they're fighting him.
It's time for you, now, to see by My Spirit and to look through the periscope of My Word because My Word will literally come to pass in these last days, openly, in the streets and cities will be taken in a matter of days. Nations will be taken in a matter of weeks and My anointing will run heavily through the streets and it shall flow like absolute rivers of living water.
But, beware! For there are those grandstanders, showmen without true signs and wonders and miracles that would lead you astray and stop your momentum and your forward progress and the things of The King.
So focus on the Word of God. Develop the habit of righteousness. Develop the habit of holiness, have intimate fellowship with Me and you'll see exactly that what My Word has said, will be.
It will come to pass, it will surely happen and it will last, saith The Lord. You shall see it and enter into it because you've acknowledged Me and blatantly, openly, you will see and recognize the false from the real and My Word will reveal it to you and My Spirit will show it to you openly.
Father, in Jesus' name, we thank You for this time and, Lord, we praise You and we worship You. Father, I love the moving of Your Spirit. O, Jesus, I love it when You show up and do the things that only You can do. So, Holy Spirit, I pray over every person. By the Spirit, I anoint their eyes with salve. By the Spirit, I open their ears.
If You speak, they will hear and, Father, they will say, "Speak, Lord, for Thy servant heareth." For Father, we're growing servants in this meeting, people who will swear unto their own hurt and not change, just like You. And Father, we'll pay our vows when we vow them. We'll stop when we need to stop, change direction when we need to change direction, and, Father, we will repent rapidly for the errors and mistakes of our lives, not clinging onto them so that we take major detours in this time.
And, Father, I pray for the peace of God on every heart. I touch them now, Lord Jesus, and I fill them with the Spirit of Peace in Jesus' name and, Father, I thank You that we, in this room, will rejoice many times over the great things You will do to us and through us as You open the Greatness of God and the wealth of this nation and the world to us, Lord God.
Father, we're raising students and stewards in the House of God, students who will rightly divide that Word and walk it out daily, Stewards of God who can truthfully say "Not my will, but Yours God."
Ron ( Praying in Tongues).
Mighty God, What a wonder You are !
Father, I pray in Jesus' Name that You will cause that Word to quicken inside each person, change our lives forever, Lord.
Amen.

Prophecy by Dr. Ron Kussmaul at Wings of Business meeting in Pretoria, South Africa on 01 October 2003:
There is a wind blowing and there is spiritual knowing and the time is at hand for God to stalk through the land and He shall purge His body. He shall cleanse His temple and He shall cause a mighty fire to come in the heart of His people.
Know that the wind that blows across you tonight is only a foreshadowing of a mighty wind that is to come. Open your hearts. Holy Spirit, come, flood this building, blow across Your people, in Jesus Name.
Fire of God, fall upon us tonight, burn the dross, oh God, that has held us. In Jesus name, receive the anointing of God for this season on your life. Flow Holy Spirit, touch, release, empower in Jesus name: flow, flow, flow, flow, flow, flow.
The things you've been waiting for will open up to you.
For the Word of the Lord has come to me and you must release the things of the mental realm, that which is natural and led by the senses, the touch, the taste, the natural physical realm. It is not in the hearing, but it is in the Spirit. It's in the receiving and the Lord is opening the door for each of you tonight.
It's a good door and some of you have knocked upon many, but refused to quit and, because of that, you shall have the door that God opens. For He is opening a door tonight. It will take several months for the door to be revealed to you from across the earth, but it will be revealed to you.
There are many things that God is saying tonight, but He wants you to know that He loves you and that around the world He has people just like you: People who are pressing in, people who have a hunger for Him, people who're thirsty and hungry for more of God and He wants you to know He's the answer. He's the answer. He's the answer.
This is your time. It's time now to reap like never before and the harvest and the increase and the abundance that you've looked for will begin to come in great waves and the earth will not understand why certain countries blossom and prosper and certain others wither and die. But iniquity, iniquity is being called to account and God will call it to account.
Righteousness, righteousness will be seen across the earth and the righteous shall reap great rewards and the unrighteous shall be in fear, because of the fear of what they see upon the earth and the inability to walk by the Spirit of God. But understand Me, press in; you're almost there. Press in, push. Just a little more of Me and just a little less of you will swing the door wide.
I desire that with all my heart. Understand Me. The time is now. You'll begin to see things change. Remember this night, because you were there ahead of time and you will see things that look fearful in the natural, but a supernatural peace will flood your being and, in the midst, when everybody is running around, you'll be steady and rock solid.
I have brought you to this point. Do not pull back. Trust Me, trust Me, trust Me, my children. Trust Me.
The things of God are so simple, but I demand obedience. I demand holiness. Shun the wrong and do the right.
Begin to flow in the supernatural from this night. Begin to expect things to turn on your behalf. I speak to you now so you are more prepared.
The time is at hand and I am again going to move through the land and I shall touch every realm. I shall touch into the intellectual realm, those who not understand me or know me. I will touch into the economic world. I will travel the nations at the very presidential levels and you will see a strange thing happen, things that you never, ever thought would happen, will happen. Never, ever and they shall happen (snap) like that, because I deem it to be so. I change men's hearts in a second. I can make the worst man kind in a nano-second and I understand atomic better than the scientists do.
Everything is in the cleft of My hand and tonight you have become different people.
Ron (Speaking in Tongues)
Just raise your hands as high as you can over your head as you are sticking them in the \[glory\] clouds right now. Father, anoint their hands in Jesus Name and, Lord, let them do the things of God and let them be the answer in the natural realm and let them be the vessels, dear God, that You use. Anoint them Jesus in a special way for these days ahead.
Thank you Jesus
We worship You.
Hallelujah.

|  |  Word for the Global Church - 1996.04.19 |  | |
| | | I am at this time pouring out the fire of My Spirit on the earth in a greater measure than ever before says the Lord. A fire that will purge, that will purify, that will bring judgement, that will bring holiness, that will bring unity, that will bring division.
Yes, I say division for it is the time to separate the sheep from the goats. There are those that say they serve Me, yet their hearts are far from Me says the Lord. They are amongst you in My church yet they do not know Me.
They do not know Me because they have chosen to pervert and prostitute themselves with the things of this world and they have decided to follow and teach the defiling doctrines of demons. And because they have chosen to do this, they deny the power and the anointing of My Spirit even though I perform great and mighty signs and wonders right before their eyes.
They also do not know Me because My church as a whole has failed to reveal to them Who I really am. Many of these people carry offenses and hurts in their hearts because of the lovelessness of My people. Remember, love covers a multitude of sin...
Also take note that the Word I gave to the church at Laodicea concerned their lukewarmness. Lukewarmness will never set captives free even though you may think that you have everything you need, lacking nothing. If you lack My Love, you truly have nothing and are only a noisy gong or clanging cymbal.
I hold My church responsible for not showing and revealing My Son....
As time goes by the whore of Babylon will be exposed and become more and more apparent, not only in the world, but also because she is at home and comfortable in My church. It grieves My heart, says the Lord to see her compromise and her hypocrisy, but My timetable is steady and it is sure, and My will and purposes shall be accomplished in the earth and in My church.
I am shaking not only the world but also My church so that those with pure and sincere hearts will become more pure and more consecrated to Me, and those who live a double life will be removed. Know, however, says the Lord, that My Love, grace and mercy transcends My judgement, and anyone who repents and calls upon My name shall be accepted by Me and shall be saved.
Yes, I say division, because My anointing and blessing will fall more and more on those who serve Me from a pure heart, and because of this, jealousy will rise up in those with impure motives, and My remnant will be persecuted by their very own brethren - even the ones from the household of faith.
Does My Word not state that where there is jealousy and envy there is also every other evil work. My Word also states that I have come not to bring peace but a sword. This sword will divide those who are spiritual from those who are carnal. So be aware, be awake, be ready, be on your guard because the accuser of the brethren is walking about looking for those whom he may devour.
Regardless of him, however, I will continue to pour out the fire of My Spirit and the holy will become more holy and the evil will become more evil. I will allow persecution because the fruit of persecution will manifest and become evident as love and unity amongst the true brethren.
This will serve as a testimony to the world when they see your love for one another and many, many, many will repent and come running to you and be born into My kingdom.
I am allowing division and persecution in order to eradicate the manmade divisions that have been apparent in My church because of pride, selfishness and jealousy. I WILL eradicate spiritual racism in My church says the Lord!!!
Also know that it is a time of shaking and changing of leadership in My church. You will see in the days and weeks and months to come that there will be major changes in leadership not only in the church, but also in the world. Be at peace and rest when you see these things happen, because I am doing it says the Lord. I am the one who appoints and removes leaders, so do not be alarmed.
Be ready to love and help the young lambs and sheep of the flock who may still not be properly rooted and founded in Me. Help them to keep their eyes upon Me because ravenous wolves in sheeps clothing will try to devour and scatter My flock while I am removing and replacing leadership.
At this time My true Apostles and Prophets are being raised up and placed in their individual strategic positions. I will use them to bring great and mighty deliverance and victory to the church.
Through their hands I will perform great and mighty signs and wonders. Signs and wonders that will astonish those who propagate the "new age" and "new world order" and think that they have the solution to the worlds problems. Signs and wonders to those in My church who are still doubtful of the present moving of My Spirit.
I will use My Apostles and Prophets to usher in the greatest revival that has ever been seen. So, receive them, love them, surround them with your care and prayers, for if you do so, I will bring mighty deliverance to you, and I will give you the same reward that I give to them.
Know that now is an ordained time of warfare. I have been raising up many as Joshua's and Gideon's to deliver My people. But be warned, DO NOT initiate the warfare until you have heard individually and corporately from My Spirit. If you do respond out of your own flesh and mind, you will bring destruction instead of restoration, and cause yourself and other innocent people to be hurt by the evil one.
Instead, continue to prepare yourself. Continue to wait upon Me. Continue to grow in My Love says the Lord because faith works by Love. My Love is the only solution to the problems that are being faced in the church and the world right now. As you continue to wait upon Me, I will give you my instructions and strategies and reveal to you My time-schedule.
As you wait upon Me, I will release anointings and gifts of My Spirit that will paralyse the strategies and the wiles of the enemy in ways that you did not dream were possible.
I will release such a measure of My Spirit in your lives that strongholds of religion and antichrist will come down in individual lives, in churches, in cities and nations quicker than what the carnal mind could ever devise or accomplish in many years. I will cause strongholds to come down even through a single prophetic word uttered in total surrender and obedience.
In these trying times, know that when evil abounds, My grace abounds even more. Know that My Love for you is an everlasting Love. Know that My heart jumps when I hear your voice calling upon Me. Know that when you look to Me, My Love and compassion wells up from within My heart and gushes like a river of living water towards you. Yes, I truly do Love you....
I love you and I am truly yearning and looking forward to that great day when I will receive you unto Myself... But for now there is still much to be done. Continue steadfastly and faithfully. Stay before My face, seek Me and draw close to Me...
(This prophecy given to Jan van Rooyen on 19 April 1996 during prayer)

|  |  Rick Joyner Prophecy - 1993.05.16 |  | |
| | | Prophecy, Correction & Strategy about Racism in South Africa
Rick Joyner of Morning Star Ministries received this vision about South Africa from the Lord on 16 May 1993. The vision was published in the Morning Star Prophetic Bulletin of September 1993. For more articles and prophetic words you may visit the website of Rick Joyner at [www.morningstarministries.org](https://www.morningstarministries.org/)
The Coming Catastrophe by Rick Joyner
A Vision
On May 16, 1993 I had a vision of racial violence erupting in South Africa on an unprecedented level. Whites were killing blacks and blacks were killing whites by the thousands. The government completely lost its authority and there was anarchy throughout the nation.
I saw a white supremacists group that was as organized as a modern army, and fought with the strategy, discipline and efficiency of an army. They were very confident of victory, and I knew that they would kill as many as it took to prevail. I felt that they would never surrender. They were more powerful than anyone believed that they were. However, the blacks were overcome by a rage that would also never quit, and the conflict grew beyond anyone's expectations. Quickly, the strategy of both sides was reduced to simply killing as many of the other side as possible. The killing was so widespread throughout the country that the United Nations expressed helplessness, confessing that the situation had deteriorated beyond anyone's ability to intervene to bring order and stop the killing. The entire world sat in disbelief day after day as reports of the slaughter came in, each one seemingly surpassing the horrors of the previous day.
Even though the vision only lasted a few minutes, I felt that I had watched the scene for weeks. I was then given a view of the effect that this tragedy had on the rest of the world. World leaders everywhere rose up to address the issue of racism, but it was too late. In a short time much of the trust and interchange between races that had been gained over decades was erased. A deep racial paranoia began to sweep the earth, which worked to exacerbate every racial conflict. This fear was so deep and gripping that men were having heart attacks when they happened unexpectedly upon those of another race. As this vision ended I knew that racial violence and killing was spreading around the world, with a thick darkness sweeping over entire continents.
Interpretation:
I believe that the interpretation to the vision is literal, that what I saw will happen just as I saw it. I was not given any timing for these events, but I did feel that it was eminent, within the next few years. The Scripture that came to me was Matthew 24:7-8:
For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and in various places there will be famines and earthquakes. But all these things are merely the beginning of birth pangs.
The word that is translated "nation" in this text is the Greek word ethnos, from which we derive our English word "ethnic." This discourse was the Lord's response to a question about the signs of the end of the age (see Matthew 24:3). A prominent sign of the end of this age and the return of the Lord is the rise of ethnic conflict. When Luke describes this same discourse in chapter 21, he adds an important element:
And there will be signs in sun and moon and stars, and upon the earth dismay among nations \[this is the same Greek word ethnos\], in perplexity at the roaring of the sea and the waves, men fainting \[expiring\] from fear and the expectation of the things which are coming upon the world; for the powers of the heavens will be shaken (verses 25-26).
The situation in South Africa will not be solved politically, but is destined to degenerate into a blood bath of historic proportions, which will in turn ignite ethnic conflicts on a worldwide basis to unprecedented levels.
What Should We Then Do?
First, we must realize the seriousness of these times. There is no greater judgment than war. There is no greater devastation than when modern armies sweep over a land unleashing their powers of destruction and death. With the collapse of communism the whole world seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, but as the apostle Paul warned,
"While they are saying, Peace and safety!" then destruction will come upon them suddenly like birth pangs upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape" (I Thes. 5:3). At the very time when men begin to think that peace and safety are really possible, the most devastating wars of all are looming in our future - wars that will arise between peoples within every nation, even every city. The Lord further warned in His discourse about the end times in Luke 21:34-36:
Be on guard, that your hearts may not be weighted down with dissipation and drunkenness and the worries of life, and that day come on you suddenly like a trap; it will come upon all those who dwell on the face of all the earth. But keep on the alert at all times, praying in order that you may have strength to escape all these things that are about to take place, and to stand before the Son of Man.
Point #1: His first command was to "be on guard." A person on guard is supposed to remain awake, watching for signs of the enemy. We are in a mortal conflict that will not end until the Lord's return. As Paul further exhorted in I Thes.5:4,6:
"But you, brethren, are not in darkness, that the day should overtake you like a thief... so then let us not sleep as others do, but let us be alert and sober."
Many feel that they do not have to do this because they pay their pastor to do it, or can tune into their favorite televangelist to stay informed, but this a most dangerous presumption. No one is going to make it through the times that are coming just because they know someone who knows the Lord, or who knows His voice.
Point #2: We must not let our hearts be weighted down with "dissipation \[wasting time\], drunkenness and the worries of this life." The Lord also said that
"Where your treasure is there will your heart be also" (Matt.6:21). Many wonder why they cannot hear the Lord's voice or perceive what is happening spiritually, but it is because the "eyes of their heart" are more on the material, temporary world, than on the eternal purposes of God. When our hearts are "weighted down" with the cares of this world, we will not be able to perceive the purposes of the kingdom. It is imperative that Christians get rid of their "excess baggage" or they will soon be caught in a most terrible trap.
Point #3: The Lord clearly states that these things "will come upon all who dwell on the face of the earth." There are many doctrines that have been perpetrated which declare that Christians will escape these times, in direct conflict with this and many other clear statements in Scripture. Such people might be tempted to claim that this statement only relates to unbelievers, but the Lord is clearly talking to His own disciples throughout the text. Why would He warn us to be on the alert... to not let our hearts get weighted down with the things of the world, and to pray at all times, if we are not going to be here?
Point #4: He then exhorts us to "keep on the alert" We might think that this is the same as being "on guard," but it isn't. While in the military I happened upon many sleeping guards. Other guards who stayed awake would daydream to the point where the enemy could slip right up on them. We must stay awake, and discipline ourselves to be completely sensitive to our surroundings.
Point #5: The Lord then warns us to pray that we might have strength to escape these things. Obviously this "escape" does not refer to the rapture because it does not take strength to be raptured. The Greek word translated "escape" here is
ekpheugo, which could have been translated "to flee," or "to depart." So how will we flee or escape these things? One issue is certain - He tells us to "pray that you might have strength to escape." This does not mean to pray for the strength, but that praying
gives the strength.
Christ Is Our Escape
As the apostle explained in I Cor.l0:13: "No temptation has overtaken you but such as is common to man; and God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able (to endure), but with the temptation will provide the way of escape also, that you may be able to endure it." The way of escape that God has provided for all human temptations, or problems, is Christ Jesus. The author of the Book of Hebrews expressed it well:
See to it that you do not refuse Him who is speaking. For if those did not escape when they refused him who warned them on earth, much less shall we escape who turn away from Him who warns from heaven (Heb.l2:25).
We shall not escape if we turn away from Him. On the contrary, our escape is found by turning to Him. The text continues:
And His voice shook the earth then, but now He has promised, saying, "Yet once more I will shake not only the earth, but also the heaven." And this expression, "Yet once more," denotes the removing of those things which can be shaken, as of created things, in order that those things which cannot be shaken may remain (v.26,27).
This is the time that we will soon enter, the time when everything that can be shaken will be shaken. Civil governments are within the realm of what can be shaken, and many are about to utterly disappear. The rule will then be in the hands of those with the most firepower, such as the present situation in Somalia, and the impending situation in South Africa.
The Lord has given civil governments the grace to hold civilization together long enough to keep the world from falling into utter chaos before the time, but no civil government can change the hearts, or nature, of men. Redemption through the cross alone can change men, and truly correct the problems of humanity. During the times that are now coming even the civil governments will not be able to prevail against the onslaught. But we have a kingdom which cannot be shaken. We must be sure that our whole life is built upon that kingdom. Whatever is not built upon it will not withstand the times that are coming. This must become fundamental to our world view - Jesus is the answer to every human problem or need. There is no salvation, and there is no solution, outside of Christ.
Knowing The Weapons Of Our Warfare
As Paul lamented over the Galatians, there is a powerful temptation to begin in the Spirit but to end in the flesh. Laws, institutions, or any other form of human authority simply will not be able to cope with what is coming, but the temptation to turn to such solutions will always exist. When racial conflict pours in like a flood, the Lord will raise up a standard against it, but that standard will not be a piece of legislation - it will be the cross. The cross has already defeated every enemy, including racism. When the church learns to wage war according to the power of the cross, we will see the victory of resurrection power - a life so powerful that it overcomes death.
For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh, for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but are divinely powerful for the destruction of fortresses; We are destroying speculations and every lofty thing raised up against the knowledge of God, and we are taking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ. And we are ready to punish all disobedience, whenever your obedience is complete (II Cor.l0:3-6).
It is imperative that the church come to fully understand the weapons that we have been given, and begin to use them. The truth of God entrusted to the church, when anointed by the Holy Spirit, is the most powerful weapon on earth. There is no fortress or power on earth that can stand before this weapon.
Why do we go on trying to fight according to the flesh when we have no real power there? When we depart from the realm of our authority, we will not only put forth great efforts with little fruit, but we also make ourselves vulnerable to the enemy whose domain is the realm of the flesh.
It is true that we have the responsibility to vote, and to vote with knowledge and wisdom. The Lord may also call some to political activities, for the sake of being salt and light in the government. But when we see from the perspective of eternity, in the realm of the spirit, wherein lies the real power, it is better to be the faithful pastor of a congregation of two hundred than the governor of a state.
As the apostle Paul explained to the Corinthians in the text just quoted, "And we are ready to punish all disobedience whenever your obedience is complete." When the church becomes fully obedient, and able to wield effectively the divinely powerful weapons that we have been given, there is no power on earth that can stand before her. We have been entrusted with the very power of God - the cross!
Paul and his little band, without weapons or political clout, turned the world upside down, shook empires and gave directives to history. Though he has been dead for nearly two thousand years, he is still one of the most powerful voices in the world - he is still shaking empires! What was his great secret? He preached Jesus Christ and Him crucified. He fully understood that the cross was the power of God that had already defeated the enemy and would destroy all of his works. He lamented those who did not understand this, saying:
But I am afraid, lest as the serpent deceived Eve by his craftiness, your minds should be led astray from the simplicity and purity of devotion to Christ (II Cor.ll:3).
If we are going to have any true and lasting impact on world affairs, we must return to the simplicity of devotion to Christ, and the knowledge that the cross is the power of God, and the answer to every human need or problem is found there, period.
Understanding Ethnic Conflict
In keeping with the Lord's teaching in Matthew 24:7, one of the greatest issues now facing the world and the church is ethnic conflict. The world is about to lose control of its racial problems because this is a spiritual problem that no legislation or human authority has been able to heal or will ever again be able to control. Only that which is bound in heaven can truly be bound upon the earth. If the church does not face this problem and overcome it within herself so that she can have authority over it with true spiritual power, the world will soon fall into an abyss of chaos, destruction and suffering of unprecedented proportions.
Racism is not just a demon, or even a principality, but it is a "world ruler." This powerful spirit prepares the way for, and empowers, the spirit of death. This is why the apostle Paul understood that when the ultimate racist barrier, the division between Jew and Gentile, is overcome and they are grafted together in Christ that it would mean "life from the dead" (Romans 11:15), or the overcoming of death.
What is racism? There are two fundamental aspects to racism. The first is pride. Racism is basically pride in the flesh; it is judging others who are different from us as inferior, which is the ultimate form of pride. That is why "God is opposed to the proud, but gives grace to the humble" (James 4:6).
The second basic aspect to racism is fear. Insecurity is a result of the fall and the subsequent separation between God and man. The insecure are afraid of those who are different as well as those whom they cannot control. Racism is a powerful and deeply interwoven combination of both pride and fear.
The power of the cross deals fundamentally with both the pride of man and his insecurity. The Holy Spirit was sent to the world to convict the world of sin, because it is the revelation of our sin that drives us to the cross to find grace and forgiveness. This destroys our pride by establishing our dependency on the cross, which also restores our intimacy with God. The deeper the cross works in us, the more humble we will become, and the more secure in His love. When we, who are now so foreign to God's nature, are grafted back into Him, it profoundly works a tolerance in us for those who are different. Also, those who are becoming spiritual begin to judge from a spiritual perspective, not after the flesh, or externals, as Paul stated:
Therefore from now on we recognize no man according to the flesh; even though we have known Christ according to the flesh yet now we know Him thus no longer. Therefore if any man is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come (II Corinthians 5:16-17).
The church, above all others, should not judge others according to the color of their skin, or their cultural background. We must learn to see by the Spirit and judge only by the Spirit, just as it was said of Jesus:
And the Spirit of the Lord will rest on Him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and strength, the spirit of the knowledge and the fear of the Lord. And He will delight in the fear of the Lord, and He will not judge by what His eyes see, nor make a decision by what His ears hear... (Isaiah 11:2-3)
If we are going to walk as He walked we too must learn to do the same. This is the great lesson of the two men on the road to Emmaus. The resurrected Christ appeared to these disciples and preached to them for quite some time about Himself. This was Christ preaching Christ - it just does not get any more anointed than that! Yet they still could not recognize Him. The reason for this was, "... He appeared in a different form..." (Mark 16:12).
We often miss the Lord when He tries to draw near to us primarily because we tend to know even the Lord by a certain form, through externals, rather than by the Spirit. As the Lord declared: For I say to you, from now on you shall not see Me until you say, "BLESSED IS HE WHO COMES IN THE NAME OF THE LORD" (Matthew 23:39). If we are Charismatics and only know Him according to that form, He will probably come to us in a Baptist, Pentecostal, or in some other form, because He is always seeking for us to know Him after the Spirit, rather than externals. We simply will not see Him until we learn to say "Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord" - regardless of the form!
The church is called to have the answers to the most fundamental human problems. Racism is one of the most basic and deadly. That is why He declared: My house shall be called a house of prayer for all the nations (ethnos... (Mark 11:17). The church has not fulfilled her destiny until she truly becomes a house of prayer for all ethnic cultures and peoples.
Paul said that "Tongues are for a sign" (I Corinthians 14:22). What sign? The sign that the church is to be the anti-thesis to the tower of Babel where men's languages were scattered, and men were separated into different races and cultures. We see the first great demonstration of this on the Day of Pentecost, at the very birth of the church.
Now there were Jews living in Jerusalem, devout men, from every nation (ethnos) under heaven. And when this sound occurred, the multitude came together, and were bewildered, because they were each one hearing them speak in his own language (Acts 2:5-6).
This was the first time since the tower of Babel that men from different cultures had heard and understood in a common language. The church is the place where men will be unified again, regardless of race, culture, language, etc. Is it not interesting that there were "Jews from every ethnos." In Israel, men who converted from any race or culture were considered Jews. Still today, those who convert to Judaism from any other race or culture are considered Jews (i.e. the Ethiopians). As Paul told the Galatians, in the church, every convert, from any cultural background, or sex, has an equal standing before God.
For all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free man, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus (Galatians 3:27-28).
There may be differences in our standing before God in such things as governmental authority, but that has nothing to do with race, sex or cultural background.
The Light of The Church
The church is called to be "the light of the world." That means that the church is supposed to have the ultimate answers to the world's problems. Racism is one of the world's ultimate problems that must be addressed; we must show the world the answer to this problem - NOW! However, we will not have spiritual authority over the world's problems if we have the same strongholds in ourselves; sadly, the church today is one of the bastions of racism.
The church today is one of the most segregated institutions in the world. There are some notable exceptions to this, but generally it is true. Spiritual bigotry is just as prevalent as the natural form. Spiritual racism is when we judge other churches, movements or people as inferior, or to be feared, because they are not a part of our group. This spiritual form of racism is actually a root cause of many of the divisions in the Body of Christ.
Because of this, a fundamental issue by which the Lord will judge the nations concerns their bondage to racism, as he highlighted in His parable of the sheep and the goats. A distinguishing characteristic of the "sheep" was that they took the Lord in when He came to them as a "foreigner" (see Matt. 25:31-46).
When Paul listed the qualifications for elders in the church, he specified that they had to be "hospitable" (Titus 1:8). The original Greek actually identifies this as "one who shows hospitality to aliens or foreigners." Basically he was saying that to be a leader of the church one had to be open to those who were different. This is fundamental to true spiritual leadership. Someone who is not open to those who are different is either too proud or too insecure to be in church leadership.
The Nature Of Our Unity
When the whole world is degenerating into increasing chaos from its ethnic conflicts, the church is going to become increasingly unified. However, we must understand our unity. This does not mean that we all become the same, or that we will submit to the same organizational structure. I will never become one with my wife by trying to make her a man! Our unity is based on the recognition, and appreciation of our differences.
The whole creation reflects the Lord's love for diversity. He makes every snowflake different, every tree, even every person. He desires to make every church different. However, these differences are not meant to conflict, but to compliment one another. It is only through our continued distance from the Lord, and the resulting insecurity, that we construe these differences as threats.
This is not to imply that there are not some doctrinal and procedural differences that do conflict with each other. We must also understand that the true unity of the church does not come through the compromise of our convictions. Even so, most of the differences that have brought conflict and division in the church are not serious enough to divide us, and in very many cases, we are resisting most vehemently those that we need desperately to give us the proper balance and perspective of the truth.
In my twenty plus years in the church I must say that I have never witnessed a single division that was truly based on the commitment to truth. Men may have used doctrine or procedure as an excuse, but the real reason behind every split that I have witnessed was territorial preservation - a most deadly and selfish evil in the church, and a major foundation of our spiritual racism. Racism empowers the spirit of death, and this spirit has probably killed more churches and movements than any other enemy.
Until the church is free of this enemy we will not have authority over it in human affairs. The only answer for the world and for us is the cross. At the cross the dividing walls are taken down and we are free to come into a true unity.
A man will never become the true man that he was created to be until he learns to properly relate to women, recognizing and appreciating their differences as needed if he is to have a true and accurate perspective. Likewise, a woman will never be the lady that she has been created to be without learning to relate to men properly. There are presently deep and terrible wounds on the part of each, but there is healing for all of them at the cross. There is no true healing anywhere else.
No Charismatic, Pentecostal, Baptist, Methodist, or any other will fulfill his own destiny without a proper relationship to the rest of the church. Even though the high priest of Israel was from the Tribe of Levi, he carried the stones of all of the different tribes on his chest. This symbolized that those who would walk in the high calling must carry all of God's people on their hearts.
Only when we have been delivered from our own spiritual ethnic conflicts will we become "a house of prayer for all nations" which is our fundamental calling. The times ahead will press us into the desperation required for this to happen. Let us not waste a day. Those who do not overcome the spirit of the world will be overcome by it. When we begin to truly carry the cross, there is no spirit in this world that will not be subject to us.

|  |  Jan van Rooyen Prophecy - 1988.12.09 |  | |
| | | This Prophecy is about Southern Africa
I saw a vision of the map of Southern Africa. The subcontinent was covered in darkness and I could see the outlines of the coast. My vision was drawn to the most southern tip of Southern Africa towards the area of Cape Town and the surrounding area.
I saw a fire bursting forth and spreading towards the north. At the same time I saw many small specks of light all over the subcontinent, including Botswana, Mozambique, Zimbabwe and Angola. These little lights were small fires that continued to burn brighter and brighter, and it seemed as if somehow all of the fires were linked and burning in concert with one another.
As I continued to pray about the vision, the Lord gave me the following word for South Africa:
South Africa is serving false gods and idols and she is hiding behind religion. She acts as if she is circumcised but she lacks the true circumcision of the heart. Pray and intercede that the Fire of God will strip away these facades and show us the utter sinfulness of our hearts.
The Father says that He will wait for a season, but there will come a time when the intercessors will not be heard and the nation will be forced to turn and listen to Him. God is going to strip away, from the government down to the lowest citizen, and reveal all corruption and evil. All that is hidden in government and business will be revealed. If the nation does not repent soon, things of utter shame and horror will be revealed.
If we turn to God with all of our hearts, and seek Him like a precious treasure, He will restore seven times more and this land will become an example to the rest of the world. This land will be used as a springboard for evangelizing the world. Great missionary effort will go forth from this land and God will reap a great and generous harvest both spiritually and materially on behalf of this nation.
(This prophecy given to Jan van Rooyen on 09 December 1988 during prayer, in Elardus Park, Pretoria, South Africa)

|  |  Jan van Rooyen Prophecy - 1985.12.02 |  | |
| | | Prophecy about South Africa by Jan van Rooyen
South Africa is about to experience the greatest outpouring of the Holy Spirit ever.
God says that He will move out of the way His children who refuse to flow with Him (those in bondage to tradition and religion).
God says that He still loves them, and they still belong to Him, but He wants to do a mighty work in this country and He wants willing people.
God says he is raising up people everywhere who will flow with Him and will be obedient.
(This prophecy given to Jan van Rooyen on 02 December 1985 during evening prayer and intercession)

|  | # Christhood Church Pretoria Ordination Ceremony |  | |
| | | [](https://www.raininternational.com/photos/)
Ministerial Ordination is a serious business in the Kingdom of God, especially in the new season we find ourselves in! Ordination cannot be taken lightly (1 Timothy 5:22).
We believe it is very important that ministers and ministries must come out of and relate to their local church. Once ministers are recognised as having the call of God on their lives, public recognition is vital and must be done in proper Scriptural order.
In the photo above, Jan & Annika, together with Pastor Abraham Ngoy, have the privilege and honour of ordaining a new Pastoral couple into the ministry. This couple are spiritual sons of Pastor Abraham.

|  | Prophetic Ministry at Christhood Church |  | |
| | | [](https://www.raininternational.com/photos/ "Prophetic Ministry at Christhood Church")
Prophetic ministry forms an integral part of the proper functioning of the Body of Christ, especially in everyday Church life.
This Ministry teaches and guides Believers in the correct use of the Prophetic Gifts and also how to discern whether a "word" is from the Lord or not.
Prophetic Schools are conducted at local churches in order to impart the vision for the restoration of the Prophetic Gifts as well as the accurate restoration of the office of the Prophet.

Before Jan van Rooyen entered fulltime ministry he was an Aviator in the South African Airforce.
This photograph depicts two of the aircraft flown by Jan during his career in the Air Force - the Italian built Impala Mark-1 and Mark-2 (Aermacchi MB326M and MB326KC).
Jan applies many of the practical principles and disciplines he learnt as an Aviator in his day to day functioning as a minister of the Gospel and in equipping Believers for active duty.

|  | # Business Seminar in Leondale with Jan van Rooyen |  | |
| | | [](https://www.raininternational.com/photos/)
Pastor Doc Sethole of One on One Ministries in Leondale is an old friend of the ministry. Not only is he a seasoned Pastor, he has also been very successful as a Businessman in the Insurance Industry in South Africa.
Jan and Pastor Doc have collaborated on many occasions with regards to equipping the Marketplace Ministers in his church. This has resulted in many of them experience powerful breakthroughs financially in their businesses and personal lives.
We are convinced that in the next five to ten years a massive shift and emphasis will take place in the Body of Christ as far as Marketplace ministry is concerned.
Acts 20:34, "You yourselves know that these hands of mine have supplied my own needs and the needs of my companions."
1 Corinthians 4:12, "We work hard with our own hands. When we are cursed, we bless; when we are persecuted, we endure it;"
1 Corinthians 9:12, "If others have this right of support from you, shouldn't we have it all the more? But we did not use this right. On the contrary, we put up with anything rather than hinder the gospel of Christ.
14 In the same way, the Lord has commanded that those who preach the gospel should receive their living from the gospel.
15 But I have not used any of these rights. And I am not writing this in the hope that you will do such things for me. I would rather die than have anyone deprive me of this boast.
18 What then is my reward? Just this: that in preaching the gospel I may offer it free of charge, and so not make use of my rights in preaching it."
2 Corinthians 11:7, "Was it a sin for me to lower myself in order to elevate you by preaching the gospel of God to you free of charge?"
2 Corinthians 12:13, "How were you inferior to the other churches, except that I was never a burden to you? Forgive me this wrong!"
1 Thessalonians 2:9, "Surely you remember, brothers, our toil and hardship; we worked night and day in order not to be a burden to anyone while we preached the gospel of God to you."
1 Thessalonians 4:11, "Make it your ambition to lead a quiet life, to mind your own business and to work with your hands, just as we told you,"
2 Thessalonians 3:8, "...nor did we eat anyone's food without paying for it. On the contrary, we worked night and day, laboring and toiling so that we would not be a burden to any of you."

|  | # Business Seminar in Leondale - Kingdom Economics |  | |
| | | [](https://www.raininternational.com/photos/)
As the Church moves forward into the future, the role of Kingdom Economics is steadily becoming more and more important.
All Christian Believers must understand as well as apply the principles of Kingdom Economics in the Church, their personal lives, their businesses and every other aspect or sphere of life where economics play a role.
One of the dimensions where RAIN International SA has been mandated by God is in the area of Kingdom Finances and Economics. For centuries there has been a massive lack of knowledge and understanding of the important role financial support and stewardship play in the work and mission of the Church.
Our aim is to reach, teach and school as many Ministers and Believers in the foundational principles of accurate Kingdom Economics. This will become increasingly important in the day to day life of the Church as the financial systems of the world begin to falter and fail.
Are you interested in learning more about Kingdom Finances and Economics?

|  | # Business Forum in Boksburg with Annika van Rooyen |  | |
| | | [](https://www.raininternational.com/photos/)
An important aspect of the ministry of RAIN International SA is the raising up and mentoring of Kingdom-minded men and women in the Marketplace!
Our Mandate from God includes teaching, guiding and mentoring God's people with regards to the role of the Church in business and commerce, and the establishing of strong foundations in the hearts and minds of God's people as far as the Biblical Principles of Kingdom Economics are concerned.
Economic stength and authority has been lacking in the Church for many generations. We believe the season is upon us where the Church is called to stand up and be counted in the Marketplace! Jan & Annika are leading the RAIN International SA Household by example with the establishing of their [own businesses](https://www.jvronlinemarketing.co.za/ "Business & Marketplace").

|  | # Business Seminar in Leondale |  | |
| | | [](https://www.raininternational.com/photos/)
South Africa is mandated by God to play an important role with regards to world affairs as we move closer to the end of the Age.
Aside from the important Spiritual role our nation will play in the future, South Africa will also set the trend economically and lead the way as far as the economic recovery of many other nations on the African Continent.
The role of the Church with regards to this economic trend cannot be understated, since she is called to be the salt and light in an arena which will otherwise remain subject to the carnality and greed of man.
The Church has a Prophetic Voice which must be heard in all Economic Spheres on the face of the earth - the Church can longer stand quietly on the side in silence!
