In June last year Apostle Aje and the rest of the worship band paid a visit to Birmingham before the Scottish Conference. They led a worship session at the local Baptist church. A young man called George Gwynn, son of the family who hosted Apostle Leigh and his family, was healed that night. He saw completely the new apostolic move and has been an exponent of it ever since. He is often misunderstood and feels frustrated but is convinced this move is God's move. George came to all the meetings with Apostle André last weekend and sent me this prophetic word he received after the meetings.....

Watch how God performs all things for you! He is for you. He delivered your soul from death. He delivered your feet from falling that you may walk before God in the light of the living. He reproaches the one who would swallow you up. Put your trust in God and don't be afraid of what man can do to you. Cast your burden on the Lord and He will sustain you. Let your heart be steadfast. Sing and give praise to God. The merciful God will come to meet you. Put your trust in His Word. It will not return void without accomplishing the thing it was sent to do.

Prophet Nola Pelser

You need the eyes of your understanding to be opened, so you can understand what we are busy with and what the body of Christ is, and what church is. If your eyes are not open, you have to be dragged to church, you have to be pushed, you have to say: “when are you coming to church?”. When you are part of a body, because you understand that Jesus created the church, as a safe haven, and as a place of refuge, as a place, an ecclesia, that is called out. You are chosen, and you are holy.

If you read in the book of Revelation, if your name is not found in the book of Life, you are going to be subject to the plagues that come over the earth. You have to have a spirit of understanding, the eyes of your understanding must be enlightened, because if it's not you walk in darkness, you stumble, and you can't see clearly what is important. Your view is marred, you only see a part of it. It's almost like when you want to look at a panorama, but there are things blocking the view. It's vain imaginations. Things that you think are important. The way you think church is, the way you talk about church, the way you talk about the things of God. These things are barriers, and obstructions, so you can't really see the bigger picture.

The devil would like to keep you bound in the flesh realm, where you see everything with the 5 senses. You need the Spirit of wisdom, and you need to pray for it and ask. You need the Spirit of wisdom and understanding, that the eyes of your understanding may be enlightened, that you may know God, and the hope of His calling. That you may know the power of God that is within you, and that you may know that riches that there are amongst the saints. You need the Spirit of wisdom to see that. There are riches in each child. There are blessings and gifts. Therefore it's so cruel. God hates slander. The slanderer will not enter into the kingdom of heaven. Why? Because the slanderer is seeing by the eyes of the devil, the accuser.

Who are we in Christ? We are chosen, holy, and dearly beloved. We are set apart. It's an awesome thing when your eyes begin to open and you begin to see what you are part of.

That is why God hates slander, because it doesn't say what He says. It means that your eyes are blinded, and that you are just looking in the natural. When we begin to see one another through the eyes of Christ, and we begin to see what church is all about, we'll see that it's the safest place on the face of the earth. It is part of the kingdom of heaven that is already established here on earth. Here, in this place, God wants to send His saints across the earth with good news, and with love. The world doesn't know love. It's full of anger. That is why it swears all the time, but God wants you to love, and say: “Jesus loves you”. Jesus loves, and He has empowered you to be a witness. That is what the Holy Spirit is for. Sin is going to cause death. Do you know that sin causes death and death and death and death? Many times in ministry, we are sitting with the results of sin. People have been destroyed because of lack of knowledge, because of mothers and fathers that didn't do the right thing because they sinned. It causes death, but those who live in Christ, and Christ lives in them produces life. You produce life to your children, you produce life to those around you. Jesus came that you might have life, and it more abundantly. If we understand what this is all about, we will have our priorities right. We won't have our priorities skew. The world is into vanity and pleasure. You can either serve God, or you can serve mammon. When your eyes are open, you know exactly what goes for what. May we walk in this road that Christ has for us. Don't let us turn to the left or to the right, let us walk straight, because it's going to produce life. Let us walk straight so that we will open a way, and so that our obedience will open a way for many others to follow.

In Revelation there is a plague like there has never been, that will shatter cities and mountains. But those whose names are written in the Lamb's Book of Life, those who have washed their robes clean will enter into that new City. It's a reality. To build a church is vitally important, so that people can get saved. It's time again that the earth hears, like in Israel, the heaviness of worship in the Spirit that will shake the earth. It will shake people to fear God again.

Do you know why the crusades never worked? They were fighting for an earthly Jerusalem. They should have read the book of Daniel where it speaks of the abomination of desolation that is going to come, because the Lord said that there is new order that came – the New Testament. There is another new order coming.

Prophet Nola Pelser

You can't go without church. It keeps you connected. It's divine fellowship. Church is divine fellowship. It is essential, because you are living in the world that Jesus loves and has given His life for. Church is His plan for His kingdom, church is His design and place, so that, in the world where there is war, pestilence, plagues, floods, famines,  and wickedness, you and I can have divine fellowship. Church is an awesome thing. It is made for the saints. It is made so that we can get strengthened, and cleansed, to be the light that He has designed us to be.

Jn 9 & 10
The Pharisees were angry because they couldn't understand the supernatural, they only looked in the natural. The hurled insults at the man that Jesus healed.

We can get so bogged down by our lives, and the busyness of life, the worries, anxieties, and the many things that we are bearing with. What is Jesus, the Son of God to you? Who is Jesus to you? Why are we in church, and why are we serving Him? It doesn't matter who, but you are going to worship someone. It is in mankind to worship. There is nothing in this world – nothing – that can compare to the salvation message, the good news of Jesus Christ.

Do you know why people celebrate Christmas? You always see love, joy and peace. That has been pronounced by the angel at the birth of Jesus.

There is no other salvation but through Jesus Christ, and people will begin to tell you that you only need god. They are thieves, and they want to climb into something that is precious. Protection, provision, peace, love, rest, you cannot get it except you come through the door, Jesus.

Young people, you cannot go to worldly parties because you will not hear the Shepherd's voice. You will hear a strange voice, and you will run away, because sheep do not recognize a stranger's voice. Many people will come and say: “this is salvation, and you'll get it through this way”. The cabala is old jewish fables. Jesus says: “I am the door. Whoever enters by Me will be saved”. You will know, if you go into a place, you will recognize His voice. The Holy Spirit will not let an upright heart go astray. Keep in the word of God, it is your discerner. We need to hold to the truth.

The unbeliever cannot believe that Jesus was sent by the Father through the virgin Mary, they can't believe it. Why? People, we are busy with the divine, we are busy with the supernatural, we are busy with the Spirit which you can't see. If men are called gods (people to whom the word of God came: judges, priests, people like Moses, David, and we are sure that there are nowadays gods as well), Jesus is called the Son of God. We are God's creatures. God is in control of the earth and of heaven.

Those who have tasted the powers of the world to come will not backslide easily, and will not easily be thrown off their faith. We are dealing with the supernatural.

Rom 10:3-10
It is time, in these days, that we proclaim Jesus as the Son of God. People need to hear it. How can they believe unless someone is sent? Pray for boldness to proclaim the Son of Man, that Jesus is the Son of God. Our gospel is very simple, but there is an onslaught, a demonic attack against our simple gospel, that Jesus is the Son of God, that Jesus saves, that we all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. Remember, without the law there was no sin. Paganism couldn't be condemned. It is the law that condemned that, and Jesus is the end of the law. He brought salvation. Without salvation, and without the church, the world is going to get worse.

A dream Nola had in August.
“ I dreamt of three colorful frogs coming out of the earth, out of holes in the earth. They were very beautiful, very colorful and big. I stood away, because I knew that this was dangerous, and I told everyone around me that this was dangerous.”

Rev 16:13
In the Old Testament, frogs are unclean animals. The imagery of frogs speaks of deceptive propaganda that will, in the last days, lead people to accept and support the cause of evil.

What does unclean mean? Is stands for: offensive, defiled, nakedness, disgracefulness, impurity, common, profane, and polluted. You need to separate yourself from that.

Eph 5:5
2 Pet 2:10
Heb 9:13
Rom 14:14
1 Cor 7:14
2 Cor 6:14-18
Acts 5:16
Acts 10:28

Television is going to become more naked. We are going to see more and more of it on television. What are we are christians doing? Separate yourself from it. There is a lawlessness that is coming in the earth, and it is preparing itself for God's wrath. God's wrath comes upon wickedness. The Lord says the He will judge the world. We as christians are to judge things amongst ourselves. You can't judge the world, for God so loved the world. We need to get them saved. Don't judge the world, don't judge sinners, they are supposed to sin. You sin too. It is by grace that we are saved. Separate yourself in your heart and in your mind. Ask God to cleanse you, ask God to give you spiritual desires. God has opened our eyes so that we can see His kingdom.

What a privilege. Salvation is such an awesome thing. It is precious. Do you understand how precious your salvation is? It is so precious. You are so precious to God, that He gave His Son so that you will not lack, and so that you will not be unclean. Salvation is so awesome. It is the power of God unto salvation. He translates us out of darkness into His light.

Jesus came for the sick and for the sinful. He took those sins, and He nailed it to the cross. We sing about the power of the blood of Jesus, but His power is present to heal and to deliver us of every shameful thing. Have faith, not in your faith, but in the finished work of Jesus on the cross.

Do you know how much God loves you? Do you know that He calls you holy? He calls you set apart. God views you different than how you view yourself. God has great respect for you, and therefore He wants you to clothe yourself. He clothes us with His salvation. It's a robe, and it's beautiful. God clothes us with beauty. He puts the nicest ring on your finger. Clothe yourself with kindness, compassion, and mercy. It's fitting. He clothes you with robes of righteousness, and He crowns you with salvation.

Do you know how beautiful you are? If you think little of yourself, it's a lie. You must denounce it. That is the enemy trying to steal your son ship. You are a son of the Living God, through faith in Jesus. You are His righteousness in Christ Jesus. You are beautiful, you are awesome, you are wonderful, and that is why God doesn't want us to speak slander to each other, because that comes from the earth. It is not from God. We all fall into that trap because we see with our natural eyes. May God open our eyes so that we may see and recognize the body of Christ. When you discern the body of Christ, it means you are discerning each other to be brothers and sisters in the Lord and that we all are saints. It is that respect that God brings by the Holy Spirit that we will view each other higher. That means that you are already high, because God lifted you up. Esteem each other higher than yourself. Why? Because people are awesome, and precious. We need to treat each other with love and respect. Why? We don't know one another after the flesh anymore, but after the Spirit.

God gave gifts to the church. He gave apostles, prophets, teachers, pastors, and evangelists to lift you into maturity, to help you to mature, to help you to come and stand in your position that God has ordained for you. Nothing more, but nothing less. We always underestimate our own capabilities. That is not to say that you must be proud, but God wants you to have a sane estimation of who you are in the power and in the light of God, and of His word. Don't let anyone despise your youth, because God views you differently.

Do you know why the saints in heaven (according to the book of Revelation) wear linen clothes that are pure, white and clean? It's the righteous acts of the saints. We are called the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus. Because you are the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus, you do righteous acts.

By Apostle Andre Pelser - 9 November 2008

The Lord often warns his people through his servants the prophets and prophetesses. Nola has often been given prophetic warnings which heeded have saved people from situations of trouble but neglected have caused sorrow. She had a prophetic dream about the release of unclean spirits in the world according to the book of Revelation. Read on and take note!

Media getting more naked

Nola had a dream on 20 August 2008 about colourful frogs coming out of holes in the road. Revelation 16:13 warns us of unclean spirits like frogs coming into the earth. It is descriptive of deceptive propaganda that will in the last days lead people to accept and support the cause of evil.

Unclean has the following connotations: offensive, defiled, nakedness, disgracefulness, impurity, and common, profane, polluted.

In Acts 5:16 and Acts 10:28 we read how people were vexed by unclean spirits. The demoniac in Gadara who had a legion of demons and lived among tombs also had a ruling spirit of uncleanness. But thank God Jesus came to set the captives free and delivered him with a word of His power!

On 8 November 2008 the newspaper Headlines (The Cape Argus) read: ‘TV more naked’. This is a fulfilment of the prophetic dream Nola had had.

We need to separate ourselves more and more from the world and the defilement of the world offered through the media and immerse ourselves more and more into the Word and into godly fellowship and prayer.

Scriptures to focus on in this regard:

Zec 13:2 "It shall be in that day," says the LORD of hosts, "that I will cut off the names of the idols from the land, and they shall no longer be remembered. I will also cause the prophets and the unclean spirit to depart from the land.

Eph 5:5 For this you know, that no fornicator, unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God.

2Pe 2:10 and especially those who walk according to the flesh in the lust of uncleanness and despise authority. They are presumptuous, self-willed. They are not afraid to speak evil of dignitaries,

Heb 9:13-14 For if the blood of bulls and goats and the ashes of a heifer, sprinkling the unclean, sanctifies for the purifying of the flesh, (14) how much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without spot to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?

Rom 14:14 I know and am convinced by the Lord Jesus that there is nothing unclean of itself; but to him who considers anything to be unclean, to him it is unclean.

1Co 7:14 For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband; otherwise your children would be unclean, but now they are holy.

2Co 6:17 Therefore "COME OUT FROM AMONG THEM AND BE SEPARATE, SAYS THE LORD. DO NOT TOUCH WHAT IS UNCLEAN, AND I WILL RECEIVE YOU."

 

 

I was reminded of a vision I had.
The devil comes in cunning masquerade to tempt, and in this vision I had,
I saw him for what he really looks like. I saw this demon, and was
wrestling with it. I was really going for him. It looked like a
person, but the more I wrestled with him the more he became like a
small demon. It was very interesting. What I experienced while
wrestling this demon was, I was saying to this person that "you
resist the Holy Spirit, because you know that the Holy Spirit is
keeping you from sinning. And so you want to resist the Holy Spirit
and you want the Holy Spirit to actually leave you so that you can go
out and do what you want to." I wrestled him and really hit him. I
told him : "Yes, you want to push the Holy Spirit away so that you
can go and sin." And I rebuked and wrestled. When I woke up I was
tired, because I had a wrestling match. But I saw, it was like God
revealed it to me the scripture that says that our struggle is not
against flesh and blood. (Ephesians 6:12.)When that sin, that lust, comes in the form of a woman or a man,
it is not them. You cannot stand in your own strength, you have to stand
in the power of the Holy Spirit, because you overcome spiritual
things with the Spirit. Your struggle is not against flesh and blood
but evil spirits. That is how they look like. Jealousy is a spirit,
envy, competitions, they are spirits. The lust of the eyes, the things
that we see.

We were at a wedding on Friday in Neethlingshof, and I saw this
beautiful big tapestry. I remembered how I desired to have a tapestry
in my house, for years. I looked at this tapestry, not deeply and in
depth, I just looked at it and a song came up in my heart. "The
things I used to want, I want them no more." We used to sing: "The
sins I used to do, I do them no more. It was a glad day when I was
born again." But I was singing: "The things I used to want, I want
them no more. The things I used to want, I want them no more. The
things I used to want, I want them no more, it was a glad day, but I
want them no more." I was so free and I said thank you to the Lord.
He says to let patience have its perfect work in you, but you be
entire, wanting nothing. (James 1:4). The day you want nothing, you
are really free. That is freedom.

You can look at things. If you have a desire to shop, I don't
have a desire to shop, I go to the beach and pick up beautiful stones, I
don't have any desire to go to shops and buy rubbish. We waste so
much money on gadgets and unnecessary things. We don't need so much.
Solomon says that there is a time to gather stones and there is a
time to throw stones away. (Ecclesiastes 3:5) Remember in the desert,
they did not have shops or shopping malls. I am not saying that it is
wrong to buy, but sometimes people shop and buy things to satisfy a
deep hunger but only Jesus can satisfy. So I want them no more.

But that is how the enemy comes in. He comes in through cleverly devised fables,
and in cleverly devised packaged things. God has now opened our eyes. You have
to walk in the Spirit. I remember Madame Guyon, a nun came to her saying that
there is a nun who has been tempted with lust and that she had never had this problem.
Madame Guyon said to this nun that she will experience the same things this
other nun is experiencing so that she can have mercy, but this nun
replied that it will never happen to her. Madame Guyon said to her
that before tomorrow she will have had this experience. Then the
devil came and attacked this nun and she came back very humbly saying
sorry and asked for forgiveness. That is why the Bible says "he that
stands, watch that you don't fall." (1 Corinthians 10:12)

When people have fallen is because they have taken that bait.
What
does the Bible say? When you see your brother sin what must you do?
Go and talk about it? No, the Lord says to pray for him. If you see
your brother sin, pray for him, and the Lord will forgive his sins
and help him. Isn't that merciful? It goes on and says for sins that
are not committed unto death. There are sins that are unto death and
that is to blaspheme the Holy Spirit and those kinds of things. But
it says that if it is sins that are not unto death, you can ask God
that he might be forgiven. Isn't that amazing? Isn't prayer powerful?
Lord forgive them that sin. When they go to heaven, that sin is not
going to be there, because of your prayers. It is wonderful to serve
the Lord.

This is the new thing, the new creation Jesus has brought about. But if we do not call our old understanding obsolete, we cannot announce or enjoy the new thing.The Word of the Lord came to me yesterday and spoke to me about the new thing He is doing. We are part of something new. The new creation has already begun. The new world is already in existence. The new world order is already in operation. The Kingdom of God is a present reality althought it is a future fulfilment of all that has been promised.

We are not waiting for the new thing. We are in it. Everyone that truly believes in Jesus is already part of the new nation being established. We are tasting future things today.

The old concept of pining away for something is obsolete. The new world has begun - it is within the hearts of those who have believed to the salvation of their souls.

Preaching and singing that still projects all that is promised into the future and keep the carrot in front of people's noses to keep them running for Jesus are exhausting the spiritual energy of people who eventually want to give up in the race! Such preaching is described by Paul as condemnation: you are never good enough to enjoy what Christ obtained for you on the cross.
It is like owning a sweets shop and the children are not allowed to take any sweets!

Songs which always create nostalgia and longing for something that is already present deceive people and make them miserable, rather than content. Just pay attention to the words of a sermon or a song and ask, 'is this a present reality or is it putting things off into the sweet bye and bye again?'

For instance: most preachers will use the scripture in Matthew 11 that forceful men take the kingdom of God by force to tell you how hard you must work and how determined you should be to grab hold of the kingdom otherwise you will never get it! Self effort pleases ego.

They miss the revealed truth in that chapter where Jesus clearly indicated that the forceful and violent men was only required up to the time of John the Baptist. Because Jesus changed the whole deal when he came. He came and told everyone that the Kingdom of God is within and that it is the Father's good pleasure to give us the kingdom. Now why on earth, should you violently grab the kingdom form the hands of a loving heavenly Father who wants to give it to you? But ego says it wants to earn it!

Jesus changed the entire approach when he said, learn meekness and humility from me. But ego despises those concepts and prefers to carry on being forceful and violent because it pleases the flesh!

Well, there are those who are teachable and those who are not. Those who hear what the spirit is saying will hear and those who only listen to people who think the thoughts of human gospel will not hear. There are different gospels, but only one True Gospel! The results of the real Kingdom will be righteousness, peace and joy that the Holy Spirit gives in the hearts of believers.

The true reformation is not whether we dance in church or allow young people to wear jeans! It is a transformation within: it is discovering the kingdom within, Christ within the hope of glory. But while we are still violently and forcefully grabbing the kingdom by force, we do not understand the change of paradigm Jesus Christ came to bring!

This is the new thing, the new creation Jesus has brought about. But if we do not call our old understanding obsolete, we cannot announce or enjoy the new thing.

If any man is in Christ Jesus he is a new creature. Look how old the old things have become! Everything has become new!

May a new day dawn in your heart today as you meditate on these words!

Prophet Nola, 4 November 2007, 10 AM

What is the Lord saying to us this morning? That without the Word of God in our hearts we cannot make it. I don't understand how we can live without the Word of God. The Word of God is so powerful. It speaks. When I have dropped Andre off at the airport to go to Nigeria for mission work, I really felt that I might not see him again. It was a funny feeling and it was not negative. I did not understand what it was that I was sensing. So I came home and I said to God that He needs to speak to me, to speak to me through His Word. And the Lord gave me Jeremiah 1- I have send you and you must go say what I want you to say. So I know that the apostle is send. Then I said, Lord, I need another word. And He gave me Luke where He said that if you have left wives and children, because I really felt left, because Andre is coming and going a lot. Keep on praying. Don' t just pray for him, yes pray for him, but also pray for Aje and Chantal, who is working very hard in this church. We need prayer.I want to read you something from the Word of God.

2 Kings 22: 8- "And Hilkiah the high priest said to Shaphan the scribe, I have found the book of the law in the house of the LORD.
And Hilkiah gave the book to Shaphan, and he read it. 9 And Shaphan the scribe came to the king, and brought the king word again, and said, Your servants have gathered the money that was found in the house, and have delivered it into the hand of them that do the work, that have the oversight of the house of the LORD. 10 And Shaphan the scribe showed the king, saying, Hilkiah the priest has delivered me a book. And Shaphan read it before the king. 11 And it came to pass, when the king had heard the words of the book of the law, that he rent his clothes. 12 And the king commanded Hilkiah the priest, and Ahikam the son of Shaphan, and Achbor the son of Michaiah, and Shaphan the scribe, and Asahiah a servant of the king's, saying, 13 Go you, inquire of the LORD for me, and for the people, and for all Judah, concerning the words of this book that is found: for great is the wrath of the LORD that is kindled against us, because our fathers have not listened to the words of this book, to do according to all that which is written concerning us. 14 So Hilkiah the priest, and Ahikam, and Achbor, and Shaphan, and Asahiah, went to Huldah the prophetess, the wife of Shallum the son of Tikvah, the son of Harhas, keeper of the wardrobe; (now she dwelled in Jerusalem in the college;) and they communed with her. 15 And she said to them, Thus said the LORD God of Israel, Tell the man that sent you to me, 16 Thus said the LORD, Behold, I will bring evil on this place, and on the inhabitants thereof, even all the words of the book which the king of Judah has read: 17 Because they have forsaken me, and have burned incense to other gods, that they might provoke me to anger with all the works of their hands; therefore my wrath shall be kindled against this place, and shall not be quenched. 18 But to the king of Judah which sent you to inquire of the LORD, thus shall you say to him, Thus said the LORD God of Israel, As touching the words which you have heard; 19 Because your heart was tender, and you have humbled yourself before the LORD, when you heard what I spoke against this place, and against the inhabitants thereof, that they should become a desolation and a curse, and have rent your clothes, and wept before me; I also have heard you, said the LORD. 20 Behold therefore, I will gather you to your fathers, and you shall be gathered into your grave in peace; and your eyes shall not see all the evil which I will bring on this place."

The Lord was pronouncing judgment on Jerusalem, before the reign of Josiah in Judah. Because king after king just forgot about the Word of God. So they were busy restoring the temple when Hilkiah told Shaphan the scribe that he had found a book of the Lord, in the house of the Lord. What a funny statement. Where should you find the book of the Lord? Of course you should find it there, but remember that the Word departed from the house. It was under the rubble. It was destroyed. And this morning if the Word is destroyed in your life, God says it is there. It is founded again.

So Hilkiah the priest ran to the king and said listen we have been in such a mess for all these years, but I have found the book. And then Josiah started reading it. Then the king commanded Hilkiah the priest to go and inquire of the Lord for the people and for all of Judah, because the wrath of the Lord is great against the nation. So what happened then was that the Lord answered them... "because your heart was tender, and you have humbled yourself before the Lord, when you have heard what I have spoken against this place, against its inhabitants, they would become a desolation and a curse. You have torn your clothes and wept before Me, I also have heard you, says the Lord. Surely therefore I will gather you before your fathers and you shall be gathered to your grave in peace. And your eyes shall not see all the calamities which I will bring on this place". So they have bought back word to the king.

What is the Lord saying to us this morning? That without the Word of God in our hearts we cannot make it. I don't understand how we can live without the Word of God. The Word of God is so powerful. It speaks. When I have dropped Andre off at the airport to go to Nigeria for mission work, I really felt that I might not see him again. It was a funny feeling and it was not negative. I did not understand what it was that I was sensing. So I came home and I said to God that He needs to speak to me, to speak to me through His Word. And the Lord gave me Jeremiah 1- I have send you and you must go say what I want you to say. So I know that the apostle is send. Then I said, Lord, I need another word. And He gave me Luke where He said that if you have left wives and children, because I really felt left, because Andre is coming and going a lot. Keep on praying. Don' t just pray for him, yes pray for him, but also pray for Aje and Chantal, who is working very hard in this church. We need prayer.

I said to Andre, that I felt distant, I felt like I had to release him, although I am in the ministry myself, I felt a definite release.
And so last night he said to me, he sms’d me, said that the Lord has put a strong urge on him to separate and to go from city to city. And I knew that was what I have felt on the airport. To release the man of God to do what he needs to do. And it is not easy. People think it is easy, it is a sacrifice, but that is what God wants. Therefore we need to pray.

Later on I spoke to people who said that they want to go to Africa and I kept quiet and thought by myself, they are talking about it but we are doing it. What a privilege. What a privilege to actually be doing something. To lay down your life, really, to make an effort to go sit in the dust, where it is sandy, hot, with no breeze, and sweating. It is different, but it is a sacrifice because there is a calling involved. And I know that God is working with our church, differently. We are a mission church. God is raising up couples for future generations. I know it, it is everywhere. Even in Pretoria, the people says to me "Nola, I believe that God is raising up the couples in this church also." God is busy with something wonderful and we need to just humble ourselves before the Lord.

Lord, Your Word has spoken many things over the earth. It is been written concerning this time we are living in. Daniel prophesied it.
It is written down. This time has been seen by the prophets from of old. We are living in reality time, and just like Josiah we want to humble ourselves, our hearts are tender this morning. God, accomplish what you want to do in our lives today. We need to humble ourselves.

God will reveal anything that is out of order, like that temple was.
There is sometimes rubble in our lives and God wants to remove that.
Why? So that the blessings can come.

I had a dream and the Lord showed me how we need to empower our children in difficult situations. If your child is in a situation where they are between their friends, and they get offered drugs, do you know what your child can do? How do you empower them that way?
Maybe it is an easy situation but the Lord showed me that there is a more difficult situation. It is a difficult situation when that child admires, love and respect that person. That situation becomes a bit more problematic and difficult. Because when you admire someone, you almost become a lesser position, because you admire that person and you would like them to love you and be accepted by them. We need to empower our children in that situation. In a situation like that you cannot always run away, so what will you do?
I have discussed it with Hilton and asked him what he will do in a situation like that and he answered me that he will pray in tongues.
And we explored that answer a bit. The Lord said that the children of God are as bold as a lion. Proverbs 28: 1- "The wicked flee when no man pursues: but the righteous are bold as a lion." So when you pray in tongues you have to pray boldly and loud. A lion roars loudly, and what happens when you hear a bold lion roar loudly? Everybody shivers and flees away. And this is what God says, if you resist the enemy he shall flee. (James 4:7) But how are you going to resist him? Boldly and loudly.

What is tongues? Tongues are our weapons and it is a sign to unbelievers. Speaking in tongues is nesseccary and is vital. It is a powerful tool and apart from that, it is a prayer language from your spirit to God. It is a sign to unbelievers. It might be people that are posing as christians, but when you pray in tongues and people react it shows that there is unbelief. It is a sign to the unbeliever because it is supernatural. Yvette and I were attacked one day in Plettenbergbay, walking from the main beach to the look out beach. We were walking peacefully and all of a sudden this man appeared and you could see he had wrong intentions. Yvette became frightful, she was very young, and we ran away. I hurt my back and that pulled me back and I realized that we cannot just run away. As I fell, this man was with us, and just there my faith kicked in and the Holy Spirit told me to praise Jesus. So I praised loudly, saying "I praise you Jesus!" The next moment this guy was gone, and we've looked but we couldn't find him. You have to be as bold as a lion, for it is a sign.

Why do we come to church? Why are we here in church when we could have done so many other things today?

Ezekiel. 20:5-" And say to them, Thus said the Lord GOD; In the day when I chose Israel, and lifted up my hand to the seed of the house of Jacob, and made myself known to them in the land of Egypt, when I lifted up my hand to them, saying, I am the LORD your God."

God has a land and a place set out for us, out of Egypt, out of Babylon, out of sin. He has a place for us that He has searched out for us, overflowing with milk and honey. He has the best in store for us. "Flow" means to "be without distraction"; to "be totally focussed". That is why we worship. When we flow prophetically we focus on the Lord, so much that flow begins to happen. That is why we often say: " lets focus on the Lord". Focus brings flow.

Ezekiel. 20: 8-"But they rebelled against me, and would not listen to me: they did not every man cast away the abominations of their eyes, neither did they forsake the idols of Egypt: then I said, I will pour out my fury on them, to accomplish my anger against them in the middle of the land of Egypt." An idol is something that takes up preeminence, that shifts your heart away form God.

Ezekiel 20: 9-11-"But I worked for my name's sake, that it should not be polluted before the heathen, among whom they were, in whose sight I made myself known to them, in bringing them forth out of the land of Egypt. Why I caused them to go forth out of the land of Egypt, and brought them into the wilderness. And I gave them my statutes, and showed them my judgments, which if a man do, he shall even live in them."

He showed them His judgements. We live by them because God has already written it in our hearts. That is how wonderful it is. We are not back in the Old Testament, we are not in the law that says that you have to rest on the Sabbath. Jesus said that He is the Sabbath, and that the Sabbath was made for us. (Mark 2:27)

Ezekiel. 20:12- "Moreover also I gave them my sabbaths, to be a sign between me and them, that they might know that I am the LORD that sanctify them." See the word 'sabbaths'. Rest comes by believing and faith, and faith comes by hearing the Word of God. (Rom. 10:17)

Why do we come to church? The Apostle Paul told us not to neglect the gathering of the saints together as some has the habit of doing.
(Heb.10:25-"Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as you see the day approaching.") We come to church to be sanctified. When we get together, the blood of Christ cleanses us.
The fact you made that dissision to be here today, you are keeping a sign. It is a sign, like tongues is a sign, to the unbeliever. In coming to church and being part of a body, shows to the world that you are separated. Church means "eclesia", "to be set apart"; "to be called out". By obeying that instruction you are a sign. If you are just coming to church because you are afraid that people might ask questions, God sees through that. There are times when you need a break when you have been faithful, but it shouldn't become a habit.

Ezekiel. 20:32-" And that which comes into your mind shall not be at all, that you say, We will be as the heathen, as the families of the countries, to serve wood and stone. As I live, said the Lord GOD, surely with a mighty hand, and with a stretched out arm, and with fury poured out, will I rule over you: And I will bring you out from the people, and will gather you out of the countries wherein you are scattered, with a mighty hand, and with a stretched out arm, and with fury poured out." If you think that you are going to run after money, thinking that it will give you joy, God says that it is not going to happen that way. It is not going to work that way. What you have in mind will not actually work, because you do not see all the pitfalls.
Why? If you have given your heart to the Lord, God will search you out. He will put obstacles in your way. God is a God of covenant, and He has blessings, peace and joy, that riches cannot buy. No money can buy inner peace. Contentment is great gain. (1 Timothy 6:6). God says that He will rule us with a mighty and outstretched hand. Even though you are backslidden. Jesus says that no one will pluck you out of His hand, He will fulfill His purpose in your life. You can be saved through grace or through fire. We are important to God and He will get the job done in our lives, either through grace or by fire, but it is best to submit to Him.

Ezekiel. 20:36-38 "And I will bring you into the wilderness of the people, and there will I plead with you face to face. Like as I pleaded with your fathers in the wilderness of the land of Egypt, so will I plead with you, said the Lord GOD. And I will cause you to pass under the rod, and I will bring you into the bond of the
covenant: And I will purge out from among you the rebels, and them that transgress against me: I will bring them forth out of the country where they sojourn, and they shall not enter into the land of
Israel: and you shall know that I am the LORD." It is fearful to see God face to face. He is a God of covenant. We have choices, but He will bring us to the bond of covenant. Therefore we need to come to church, because church is so vital. Our coming to church on a Sunday says that we have our priorities right, that we are set apart. God says that He will take out the rebels from amongst us, they will go out with us but they will not enter with us. Church is an awesome place and it is not for rebels. May God deliver us from every bit of rebellion in us.

People say that the church is dissapearing in today's society, but God is a God of covenant. And Jesus said: " I will build My church and the gates of hell will not prevail against it." (Matt. 16:18) " I will purge the rebels from amongst you." God will not be misrepresented in the earth and He will deal with the rebels and the ones that said and think that church is not important. God is in control, and the church is His, He is the head.

To worship in depth means: "thickness", "densely", "width". It means to "make", "to seek", "to be profound". It means "deeper" and "strange". I have learnt through experience that men who resist me in deep worship, do not want to deal with the sin in their lives. It is a holy place to be in the prophetic. God says that in the prophetic, sin is exposed in people's lives, and they will either run forward, or run out. Deep means: "a deep place", "a surging mash of water", and "a deep water supply". Deep calls unto deep and when we are busy with God we are busy with deep things. God is not shallow! Church is not shallow! We are busy with something profound. We are part of something awesome. That God will allow us to come face to face with Him in worship, with an unveiled face! I thank God that He has taken us deeper, because I have doing the shallow stuff for years, and it frustrated my spirit. The spirit knows that there is something deeper. You want to kiss the Son just like that woman who kissed the feet of Jesus when she poured oil on His feet. It was strange and never have been done in Israel before, to take oil, and smash it. The woman wept, kissing the feet of Jesus. God says that He wants our hearts because He has much in store for us, a land of milk and honey.
He wants us at a place where everything looks like they really are, insignificant in comparison with who He is. That is to be dead to the world. The world does not have any hold on you anymore.

Worship means "bahgash" to "search out by worship and by prayer"; "to strife after"; " to inquire"; "to make inquisition"; "to request", "to require", and "seek" for. He says to seek Him. When you seek Him you will find, depth, riches and understanding. Worship also means "dohrash" to "frequent", "to follow", "to search", "to really question" and "go deeper". "To come higher"," to go hard up".
Your flesh just wants to die, it is the Spirit that brings life. When people don't want to go deep in worship, they don't want to go hard up. They do not understand and want to do things their way. Worship means to set apart. To be sacred and to be consecrated. When we worship, He presents fruit. When we worship the fruits come out. That is what has been fashioned in us, when we worship in depth.
Understanding estabilshes you. When you stand up and worship, you roar like a lion and the enemy shall flee. Shall is a very powerful word. You have not got any question because you shall. Shall comes in when correction has not been taken, and then it becomes commands and rebukes. But the whole purpose for this is that God wants to give a land of milk and honey, a glorious place. Your plan is not good. You plan but God directs. The leading of the Holy Spirit is strong. He guides and leads us daily. And you will be amazed at how many times a day the Holy Spirit speaks to you. Just open your ears and listen to Him. Praise the Lord!
