The Coming Revival I believe in a soon coming revival! 'The Sons of God will be manifested'. We are on the edge of a great move of God greater than ever before. AA Allen really inspires me, his ministry was so miraculously used of God,  that even when He died lies were told about the circumstances as to what happened to him! ( His death certificate says heart failure) It is only natural for the world to talk about Christians, but when christian ministries slander other Christians who operate with The Holy Spirit in The power of God its very unlike Christ to try and tear down what Jesus Christ is building up. My dad spent time with AA Allen in Canada, and He only had good things to say about AA Allen, he was one of Gods great Generals. Many today will never be used the way He was used, with such a bold Faith He knew the God of Abraham, Issac and Jacob, a God of mercy Justice and Power but also a God who loves to 'Bless'. As a baby I was taken to an AA Allen meetin...

Wisdom From God Visiting my brother one day he told me about a video that I much watch! I wondered what was so urgent, its a bit out of his character, usually he's calm's about most things. He took me into his studio and put on a video about a Jewish Rabbi Yitzhak Kaduri. My brother said to me that Jewish people do not accept Jesus so for this Rabbi to say He met Jesus is unbelievable! A person must think when somebody as respected as this Jewish Rabbi, repeats such a thing. Rabbi Yitzhak Kaduri at the age of 108 in 2006 left a letter to the Jewish community about The Messiah not to be opened until a year after his death. I believed that God asked Yitzhak Kaduri  to wait a year because, if the letter was revealed straight away people would    this evidence. This is an update of one of my first post. It truly is a blessing All unbeliever should listen to this!

We Must Be Born Again St John chapter 3, it must be the most famous chapter in the Bible, its where we find 'For God so loved the world that he gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life' (John 3:16) its called the golden text of the bible. Today I would like to state for the record that I believe this statement to be 100% true. Nicodemus a 'Leader of The Jews' came to Jesus at nighttime to ask Him some very serious religious questions, the Bible states. Jesus spoke to Nicodemus about the Holy Spirit (John 3:6) explaining, that He's the one who creates the new birth! You may wonder why I'm focusing on this scripture today? The answer is in Jesus. I did not received it from second hand information, or  from someone who claims to know the secrets of God, but its in the written word of God, and is plain for spiritual Christians to see. Why did Jesus go into such detail about being born again? ...

Faith That Grows,Work That Muscle? I ministered Sunday on the first lesson the Holy Spirit ever taught me it was about faith. In Matt 8:10  there was a Roman Soldier who had what the Bible called a great faith how did it get so grow so big. Lets look into the conversation a little deeper. The Centurion said to Jesus "I am not worthy for you to come under my roof, but speak the word only and my servant will be healed", this shows a humble spirit. He then  said that orders from a commanding officer must be carried out by a lower ranking officer this is still true in any culture even today. Next the centurion explained about his authority, in the high ranking position he had attained too, but still recognizing he had superiors above him who gave himself orders which had to be carried out. He said " I am a man under authority having soldiers under me: and I say to this man, go and he goes; and to another come, and he comes; and to my servant, do this and he does it! That...

To Be An Example This is an update to my other blog Benny and Suzanne Hinn  Re Married on 3 March 2013 at The Holy Land Experience Church Orlando Florida. They were first married by Suzanne Hinn father Roy Harthern, on the 4 Aug 1979, He and his wife were at the ceremony ( married 62 years). This was a great day of rejoicing for Christian all over the world especially the Hinn children. Jack Hayford ( married 58 years) performed the ceremony, Reinhard Bonnke ( married 49 years) also attended among others. Suzanne Hinn mum sung His eye is on the sparrow ( I love when the family works together). The break down of the marriage was said to be Suzanne Hinn addiction to 'prescription drugs' (like Elvis &Michael Jackson) but she got help. Benny Hinn said hes spent too much time away from Suzanne and He cannot function properly without His wife. It would be a blessing if all christian divorcee's would take a leaf out of Benny's book if you cannot live together for what e...

Only In Jesus  Freedom cost everything! Sounds like a contradiction, one thing I know when a man or woman is totally submitted to God, then they are truly free. How is this possible you may ask? Its not true if your not a born again Christian its only real in Jesus.  Kathryn Kuhlman says "God is looking for empty vessels" that's the secret its simply trusting the one, we say we have 'Faith' in. Peter was the only one who stepped out of the boat while his eyes were fixed on Jesus he was unsinkable, but as soon as his focus veered he started to sink. Where is our focus? When we lean on the everlasting arms of Gods and really submit all to Him, our worries will disappear because Jesus will never let us down. We will walk as a spiritual giant and be blessed in all we do, it may not workout the way we expect it but things will prosper the way God wants. Be Blessed Today

Two Become One Man & Woman - (Tricky Topic) We have been married almost 18 years and to be honest its has give me a little insight to divorce! Its not easy at times being with the same person day for such a long time. It healthy to have disagreements I believe every couple argues at some point in their marriage. When we become familiar with people we sometimes take liberties, its the natural progression in a relationships. The key is to always remember why you married the person you are with (love) . This messages is for born again Christians! Don't you know that the Bible says 'God Hate's Divorce' (Malachi 2:6). Our record in church nowadays is not  showing a good example to the world. Paul addressed some issues in the book of Corinthians about the state of the church. Divorced Pastors, Prophets, Evangelist, Teachers etc are teaching the rest of the church to live Holy lives when they are not. I shudder to think about the council they give couple who want to ...

Time To Go Home This is a common saying 'The End Draws Near'. What signs are there, that prove without a shadow of a doubt that this generation is near the end time: Below are a few pointers as recorded in Mat 24 where we have some specific questions about the End Time and Jesus return. This is a  running commentary from Jesus! Jesus spoke to me as He has to many others saying 'He is coming soon Tell My People" Therefor I have added my own interpretation at the end! The first sign mentioned was about The Jewish Temple being destroyed, this happened in 70 AD  The major key was the re-establishment of Israel, its God's Clock (Matt 24:16-20). Many will come claiming to be Jesus, this trend is increasing today, people are still following false messiahs. Jesus said when He returns it will be in the clouds and every eye will see Him (Matt 24:30, Acts 1:11 and Revelation 1:17). Jesus said "the blind lead the blind" so when the false messiahs died peopl...

Not Just By Water By The Holy Spirit Do you know that the devil has his own set of demonic tongues! Its surprising to me  that most minster have no idea about this, therefore whenever they hear tongues they say you have received the baptism in the Spirit. The bible teaches in 1 John 1:4 "to test the spirit". I wonder how many Pastors have any idea abut this principle? Thus Christians are walking around saying that they are baptized with The Holy Spirit but it could be a demonic entity. Ask your self this question how many Christians are walking in victory or power! This is not a condemnation its a fact? Just look at the state of the Church its weak and it operates with very little power. Comparing this to the days of The Apostles we fall short of the mark of the high calling. 'There are times of struggle I'm not trying to mix this from areal baptism experience' The Bible teaches us that we should go from glory to glory. People seemed to start strong then fa...

Where Time Is No More I was a bit upset with a Christian friend, it even made me start to wonder was there any real Christians in this world, kneeling at my bedside praying these words I'm gonna do what I want to do and call myself a Christian like everyone else! That very night Jesus appeared to me.  I was humbled bowing at His feet, all that came from my mouth was I Love You Lord . As He rolled back space and time I saw myself  in ungodly situations in the future. It was me because when there is no time your watching yourself but still you are yourself, this is what I was saying  I love you Lord and I wouldn't act like that! You see my problem was thinking 'I' was a perfect Christian, not really understanding were all human and prone to 'self will'. I understood that its only Christ our creator who called us to be like Him and forgive others as He forgave us. It does not matter who we are,  we all make mistakes the key is to ask for forgiveness from your...

We Want To See Jesus These words were spoken in John 12:20 and the answer is astounding; it is found in John 12:2-25. Here Jesus explains again that we need to "die to our selfish desires and become more like Jesus." It's called discipline!  "Except a kernel of wheat fall into the ground and die it abides alone, but if it dies, it brings forth a lot of fruit." Our children are influenced by the secular world; with  its teachings about evolution and same sex marriage, etc and some still call themselves Christians! I'm not trying to argue. The Bible makes it clear in Matt 7:13-14 'wide is the gate, broad is the road that leads to destruction and narrow is the road that leads to life  and few find it.'  This is a problem for Christians living like the world, because Jesus should be shining through us! My prayer today is, "draw me closer to you lord! I long for a deeper relationship so the world can see you through me.

Two Pennies This word dropped into my spirit today. A person had only two coins He never noticed anything special about the coins except  it was enough to buy the items he needed, so he went to a specific shop to get what was required. Later that day he was watching the news on TV,  what he heard almost caused a heart attack. A vary rare coin was discover in the shop where he brought his items.  When the date of the coin was released he realized it was one of the coins that he used in the shop. The moral of the parable is, we as Christians have treasure inside us. If only we realize the potential  that God has placed in us. We need to operated with the little faith we have and allow it would grow to be a big or even a great faith. It is all about our fellowship with Jesus reading, His word, praying doing the woks while it is day Jesus said. Love with action is real love, to say you love, with no action cannot be real love because God is love, it is His natu...

Thine Is The Glory, Not Mine Who are we to try and take glory for what belongs to God! Did Peter, John, Paul or Mary The Mother of Jesus die for our sins, No! it was Christ and Christ alone who hung on the cross and shed His blood for mine and your sin.  So who are we following, Calvinism or Arminianism ? What a load of rubbish !  But the debate will go on and the real issues are neglected;  which are, "Do you have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, and do you still hear his voice?"  What I am trying to say is 'our' churches belong to God. We are His stewards, and its a privilege to be used by God. "Many are called few are chosen."  By chosen, I mean chosen by our gifting (Apostle, Pastor etc.), to feed the saints of God. Too many ministers are asking for money to satisfy their greed. The bible states How hard it is for a rich man to get into heaven. To have money is not the problem its when money has you! Its not just money; some ministers show ...

The Gifts And Calling Are For Everyone This biblical saying which I paraphrased has to be taken in context. The text is found in Romans 11:25. It simply means that you do not have to be a Christian  to have gifts. The gift of prophecy is used by mediums, tarot cards readers, and psychics, etc., and a lot of money is gained from this industry. The bible states, "freely receive and freely give!" What a sobering thought ! I grew up in a Pentecostal church and met a lot of powerful men and women of God, but the thing to remember is God gives gifts. We are supposed to be administrators of the gift if you have a gift of business where everything you touch turns to gold, but you are not a good speaker then support the ministry. people in business should have money to work in God's field by helping and supporting Gods work; that includes, being honest and walking in integrity. I heard about people who were used mightily by God, but then, when the finances started to come in ...

Total Surrender Many are asking, "where is the God of the old days  when His Spirit was poured out on the land?"  The question we could ask ourselves is; "are we hearing and doing what God requires from us, or are we doing our own thing and using God's name to justify our actions?  I was at an airport with a friend who asked the question, how much is a flight to Ireland ? the person at the desk started to laugh sarcastically, and then they said, it could vary. What they did not take into account was that the person who asked the question had a mental illness and was going through a crisis. The person at the desk was oblivious to the person's situation.  I was very disappointed to know that a representative who had been employed and put in a place to speak to the public was not very courteous or professional that day. I use this example to show how many of us, at times, act in the same way as we travel through this life. As Christians we often separ...

The Fear Of The Lord I will never forget the day that the God who created the heavens and earth revealed Himself to me. It the God who Moses met in the Mount of God! How can this be you may as but in the bible Jesus is seen standing by His Father (Acts 7:55). Jesus wants to give his children food so they can grow properly but milk drinkers are giving milk and meat would be too strong for most of us. The Spirit of God  wants to teach us to be obedient to him but we ourselves get in the way Katherine Kuhlman said it cost all to be used fully by god there is a price to pay but its available to all. When God visited me in this encounter I was given a scripture in Exodus 20:20. I would advise people to read this scripture and ask God to reveal the truth to us after all the Bible says its the truth that makes us free !

Not All Roads Lead To Rome I was talking with a friend about choices in life where I was explaining about walking down a road with two paths, one has to be taken. The one to the left leads to our own selfish ambitions and lust, the one to the right is a path with many roads (its a crisis point), where we want to make a change in our life. Many paths are ahead you may choose a road leading to Buddhism another leads to Islam, Hinduism etc but only one of these roads leads to Christ. All roads are dark with very little light and dead bodies are lined up on all roads, except the one with a bright light which is the road to Christ, which road do you choose! Christ has risen from the dead so you can know him all religions follow dead people but as a Christian we follow The Son  of God who will introduce us to the Father so we can have eternal life with Him. We all have choices to make! Make the right choice? 

Evangelist Travels Home At 85 Another of Gods Generals has gone home to his reward. Shambach use to travel with AA Allan (who was one of the most powerful ministers of the 20th Centenary). I've been in a couple of meetings with R.W. Shambach who was a true Pentecostal preacher full of the fire of God, I remember he told a story of a man who died in his meeting and they put the dead man in the back until the end of the service. When Shambach was at home in bed he said he remembered the dead man at the back of the church. When he was ministering the next day the dead man testified what happened to him explaining his death ordeal. This is how men and women of god should walk in resurrection power. I will miss his charismatic style and anointed messages. We all have the potential to be mighty children of God the more we submit the more we can be used. then. If we allow the seeds that have been sown through their ministries we will grow and prosper in Jesus name.    

Going Home At 104  Years Of Age   On 16 April 2013 Billy Graham's lost one of his best known convention singers  He changed a couple of words in How Great Thou Art  which was one of the most famous songs he sung before it was famous and Elvis Presley used the words in the version he sung. My favourite song  sung by Mr Shea was I'd Rather Have Jesus which he composed the music. A rich bass voice unique and outstanding anointed by God to bring people to know Jesus. Gone are the days of the Billy Graham Crusades even though many of his sermons can be watched on video or purchased from Revived  where they have a great range of music and videos from back in the days of the revivals. There are many anointed voices some well known, some are only known by a small minority  but they are anointed to bring revival to the nation my prayer is that God raises up many more who are hungry to do his will and bring millions to Christ.

T.L. ( Tommy Lee) Osborn I have not been in many church meetings where the minister has not been seen but at a Morris Cerello meeting it was evident that Mr Osborn had learnt to die to self. My mother use to talk about T.L Osborn, she had supported his ministry for over 40 years. He died earlier this year on 14 February 2013 Valentines day He was 89 years of age.  We are loosing a lot of the big name evangelist who were used to pioneer a great move of God in their generation. He was a man who trusted in God with all his heart and finished his race well. When he first travelled to India he did not see any miracles but after attending a meeting and seeing God move in healing, Then he seemed to hear voices say you can do that, the rest is history. Healing The Sick was a best seller book which has been sold all over the world, A true man of God who proved to the world that the God we seve is real. His trips to India transformed the nation so many mir...

Let God Be True Sadly we know the rest of the sentence.... and every man a liar! Its sad to know that many people cannot be trusted it is also true that God spoke through a donkey which is a good story for us because most of the times donkeys seem to be in our pulpits! I don't quite understand why someone who is a christian would lie to such an extent for so long. God never exposed the allegation, then again many ministers live in adultery and  greed without exposure. We serve a God who always gives us time to repent but because he is a God of Justice. A price must eventually be paid no matter who we are or who we think we are, God will not be mocked. I love Avanti Ministries they have done a lot of good work and brought many people to Christ if they keep their eyes on Christ they will stand if they allow their eyes to look to man they will surely fall.  I do not Know if the allegations are true and I like what Tony and the team have done, so I'm not taking any sides, Its ...

If The Church Scarcely Be Saved When Jesus walked this earth he was often correcting the religious leadership because they were pious and hypocritical in their behavior. Today many church leaders are a bad example to their flock. The reason for this is that while we are in the world the devil already has us on his side. It's only when we give our lives to God and surrender to his will that the devil gets mad and attacks as hard as he can to destroy men and women of God. The answer is found in the bible it says resist the devil and he will flee. Today make a commitment to bring all to the cross afresh as we need food daily so we need to draw close to Jesus!

Are You Ready The bible says that God always looking for us! it shows that we serve a God who by nature just love's but not the kind of love we think where anything goes Gods love is different to the way our natural mind thinks or as the bible puts it his ways are higher than ours Jesus said divorce is because people have hard heats and Moses allowed people to get divorced not God don't be mad with me take it up with God his sheep hear his voice. We all want revival but we don't want to pay the price. I've been searching for over 20 years for the answer to that question? All of a sudden the Spirit of God dropped it in my spirit the answer is just Total Submission to the Spirit of God if you want to be angry with someone be angry with the devil he's the Liar!

To All Jews & Gentiles  When the church started, the power of the Holy Spirit was evident. The upper room was probably too small for all the new converts to gather, still all believers had to be fed spiritually so they could grow into their ministries. Paul was chosen by Jesus to be an apostle to the gentiles world not Peter as some denominations teach. It was first to the Jews then to the Gentiles but the bible says we are all one in Christ. It's good to know God loved the whole world and never made hell for any human to go, but when we allow the lust of the flesh to dictate how  live, we need to repent, ask for forgiveness and move on! What a mighty God we serve.

Money Money Money I've seen Benny Hinn a few times like most of us sometimes he seems to flow with The Holy Spirit sometimes he seems to be running on old wine. I wonder what Jesus would think about the way ministers are always asking for money, it is a bit disheartening when most people in this world have mental and physical needs like the woman in the bible with the issue of blood. We need ministers who remember what Christ done for us, and if we really love him, we would trust him more. Freely we receive and freely we give all we have belongs to God!
