Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Several years ago a colleague received a vision from the Lord which showed two weather systems coming upon the Body of Christ. The first was a thin band of rain that brought great joy to all those who received it. Then there was a dry season followed by a great time of rain, an enormous downpour, but only a few people received it.
As we sought the Lord...

Greetings in Jesus Christ!  I want to thank you all for your prayers and faithfulness, and commend you for your patience in waiting on the Lord. It has been a rough and challenging journey, but well worth the sacrifice of our lives in learning a new life in Christ of praise, patience, humility and obedience. 
Over the last 6 years I have experienced many highs and lows; and a great deal of time of waiting. I believe that now is time to...

Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
We are in a battle. Over the past several months the Lord has been leading us through a mighty season of warfare. The enemy has been fighting; using every weapon he can muster to derail us from our destiny in Christ. The plans God has given have been threatened and jeopardized – why? I believe He wants to make us stronger in the Spirit and prepare us for the...

How have you weathered the extreme conditions of 2009? 
Little did I know when I wrote the last Perspective on “Courage to move into the Future” that we would be subject to such challenging conditions so quickly.  The fruit of greed and covetousness, sin, is death; and we have seen many people and things dying. The power of sin has a way of trying to hold on until the very end; praise the Lord that these ways are slowly being...

Merry Christmas and Season’s Greetings!
 
The Lord spoke these words to Joshua, “Be strong and of good courage,” on four occasions as he prepared to enter the Promised Land (Joshua 1:6, 7, 9 &18).   I pray that you are encouraged (that the Lord will stir up the courage within you) to move forward with great boldness to posses your land of promise.
 
The past year has been an intense time of preparation for the “new things.” We have experienced great shocks in...

Therefore rejoice, O heaven, and you who dwell in them! Woe to the inhabitants of the earth and the sea. For the devil has come down to you, having great wrath, because he knows that he has a short time (Revelation 12:12). It is comforting to know that we are citizens of Heaven in Jesus Christ, seated with Him far above all principality and power (Ephesians 1:15-23; 2:6). Father God has called you, tested you and now is sanctifying and...

Greetings! Over the last few weeks God has been addressing pure seed, the seed for planting that will bring the reaping of His purpose and victory.  In Leviticus 19:19, Moses writes about the commandment of the Lord to not mix seed; and warns against the consequences.  God is opposed to mixture and says, “You shall keep My statutes. You shall not let your livestock breed with another kind. You shall not sow your field with mixed seed. Nor shall a...

We are entering the time of greater need for revelation knowledge of the plans and purposes of God.  The past battles have been severe, with some defeats and some victories.  However, that warfare season was required to refine and equip us to walk in a way that we have not walked in before – by complete faith in Jesus Christ and in complete confidence of His gifts of revelation knowledge and instruction.
As we review the past years of preparation, we...

Christmas greetings to you in Jesus Christ!  It has been four months since the Lord has given something to write, and what a four months it has been; very busy and a time of blessings and promises being fulfilled.
 
I have witnessed a great and continual battle to possess God’s promises, personally and in the saints. The spirits of deception and deceit continued their attack; but we overcome them and their cohorts of control, manipulation, depression, fear, rejection and pride in...

In the last ten days we have seen the start of major shakings in the world’s financial markets. I do not take confidence in the news reports that are packaged for the public consumer, but as I watched one of these commentaries the newsreader made an off-the-cuff comment; “We are seeing the wealth shifting before our eyes.” How right she was in her statement!
 
In the book of Haggai, the prophet writes that God will “shake the heavens and the earth,” and that...

Have you noticed that over the past few months God has been revealing hidden treasures that He has assigned to our heavenly account? We have to “see” the things He has prepared in order for them to be transferred from the heavenly realm to earth by faith. As we gain greater clarity and discernment, our faith increases to the point where we can receive. He can then open the floodgates of heaven so that His rains of blessings can descend. Are...

This Jesus God has raised up, of which we are all witnesses. Therefore being exalted to the right hand of God, and having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, He poured out this which you now see and hear.(Acts 2:32-33)
 
Today the church of Jesus Christ celebrates the Day of Ascension. As I was reading the Biblical accounts of the ascension, several things came together in my mind about this season of time. In the last Perspective...

The wind is changing direction. The Lord is bringing the wind to our backs, filling the sails of our boats (enterprises and ministries) with His glory and favor for a run to the finish.
As many of you know, I grew up in New Zealand, a nation known for its sailing. I learned to sail when I was only 7 years old and spent many glorious days sailing in the sunshine and wind while growing up. I remember the sailing...

Happy New Year in Jesus Christ!
But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light; who once were not a people but are now the people of God, who had not obtained mercy but now have obtained mercy. (1 Peter 2:9-10)
God has called you, prepared you and anointed you to be His kings and priests, victorious...

As we come to the close of this year, many expectations have not yet fully materialized; even though strategic intercession and fervent prayers have surrounded us. One intercessor, who knew very little about our activities, gave this word, "What you are asking God to do in the spiritual realm is like the moving of tectonic plates." After the last Financial Perspective, Positioned to Catch the Wave, this word brought a deeper understanding of what will cause the great wave we...
