The Lord says, "Call heaven to earth!"
The Lord has encouraged me lately when He told me this: People are currently experiencing situations on earth that they really can't handle without My help! Therefore, I want to remind them that I have taught them to pray this way: Our Father in heaven, Let your Kingdom come. Let your will be done on earth, as in heaven.
Remember, says the Lord, do not be like those around you, for I, as your Father, already know what you need before you ask Me.
That is why I taught you to pray this way:
"Our Father in Heaven,
Let Your Name remain holy.
Let Your Kingdom come.
Let Your will be done on earth, as in heaven." (Matt. 6:8-10)
Pray this prayer like people who know what it means and mean what they pray!
Begin to cry out that Heaven will also come where you are and live and work here on earth!
"Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may discern well what God's will is, which is good and acceptable and perfect." (Rom. 12:2)
To think and do and speak differently than the people around them, My people, says the Lord, must learn to spend time with Me. They need to come and sit with only My Word, the Bible, on their lap, so that they may hear from My mouth what it really looks like in Heaven, and what My will is in every matter and situation, so that they may know exactly what is to happen around them here on earth.
However, be warned in advance: You don't realize how you've already been influenced and brainwashed by the propaganda machine from hell!
It is only when you have spent long enough time in My presence and have given My Spirit full control to guide you in the whole truth, that you will again experience My peace and literally taste My goodness!
Again, you will have clear pictures of what my Kingdom looks like and will hear the sounds of Heaven again!
"Who may ascend the mountain of the Lord, and who may stand in His holy place?
He who has his hands clean, and whose heart is pure, who avoids all deceit, and takes no false oath.
Such a man shall receive a blessing from the Lord, and God his Savior shall cause justice to be done unto him.
The people who seek His will and serve Him are the descendants of Jacob. Sela
Rejoice, O gates, rejoice, thou old doors of the age: for the mighty King will come in.
Who is this great King? The Lord, strong and mighty, the Lord, Conqueror in every battle.
Rejoice, O gates, rejoice, thou old doors of the age: for the mighty King will come in.
Who is He, this mighty King? The Lord Almighty, He is the mighty King. Sela"
(Ps. 24:3-10)
There in My presence you will see and hear exactly what My will is and what it must look like when My Kingdom comes.
Only when you have seen the detail of this can you, as ambassadors of the Kingdom of heaven, make an explicit difference here on earth! Otherwise, like sheep, you will speak after what you hear and see and think, just as everyone else does.
What no eye has seen until now, and what no ear has heard until now, are the things I have planned for those who have begun to look up and cry out that Heaven will come on earth!
Ask for it and it will be given to you.
Believe, and as I have promised, all things are possible for those who believe what I say and promise!
If you really want it, here it is! Come and take it!
Recently, while I was spending time in the Lord's presence, I heard the Lord say: If you really want it, here it is! Come and take it!
The Lord took me to that passage in 2 Kings 2 where the young prophet Elisha received the robe from his predecessor Elijah.
Let me bring it here to you. Listen to what the Lord himself wants to say to you through this.
"The time came for the Lord to take Elijah up into heaven in a whirlwind. Elijah and Elisha set out from Gilgal, and Elijah said to Elisha, "Stay here, for the Lord is sending me to Bethel." Elisha replied, "As surely as the Lord lives and you live, I will not let you go alone." They went to Bethel.
The prophets who were in Bethel went to Elisha and asked him, "Do you know that the Lord is going to take your teacher away from you today?" He replied, "Yes, I know. Don't talk about it."
Elijah said to Elisha, "Stay here, for the Lord is sending me to Jericho." But Elisha replied, "As surely as the Lord lives and you live, I will not let you go alone." They arrived in Jericho.
The prophets of Jericho came to Elisha and asked him, "Do you know that the Lord is going to take your teacher away from you today?" He replied, "Yes, I know. Don't talk about it."
Elijah said to him, "Stay here, for the Lord is sending me to the Jordan." But Elisha replied, "As surely as the Lord lives and you live, I will not let you go alone." The two of them continued together.
While Elijah and Elisha were standing near the Jordan River, 50 of the prophets’ disciples of that area stood at a distance from them on the other side.
Elijah took his robe, rolled it up, and struck the water with it. The water has divided to the left and to the right, so that the two of them pass through on dry ground.
As they went through, Elijah said to Elisha, "What do you want me to do for you before I'm taken from you?" Elisha replied, "Please let a double portion of your spirit come upon me!"
And Elijah said, "It's a difficult thing you ask. If you see me when I am taken from you, it may happen to you. But if you don't see me, it won't happen."
As they continued chatter, suddenly there was a chariot of fire with horses of fire that separated the two of them, and Elijah went up into heaven in a whirlwind.
When Elisha saw this, he cried out, "My father, my father, you were a chariot for Israel with its horsemen!" When Elisha could no longer see Elijah, he took his own clothes and tore them in two pieces.
He took up the robe that had fallen from Elijah and stood again on the bank of the Jordan.
With this mantle that fell from Elijah, he struck the water and said: "Where is the Lord God of Elijah? Where is He?" When Elisha struck the water, it split to the left and to the right so that he could pass through.
When the prophets of Jericho, standing a short distance away, saw him doing this, they said, "The spirit of Elijah is now resting on Elisha." (2 Ki. 2:1-15)
Friends, I experience the Lord saying that a new season lies ahead of us in which the Lord wants to use each of us as we could never have imagined possible.
The Lord met you somewhere along the way and began to touch and change your life. He used a lot of time and money to equip you for a season like this.
Maybe lately you've felt like you've been in the desert or in a waiting room of some kind. But today the Lord comes and says to you, 'The waiting time is over!' It's time for you, like Elisha, to pick it up for which you were called. It's time to stand up and say, "Enough is enough!" Things are going to change from here. As God has long ago said, "Something from heaven is going to happen from this time on earth, all around you."
Can I ask you a very personal question: What did the Lord ask you to pick up and to do?
Yes, I know that if the Lord has instructed us to do something, it is always something that seems totally impossible and for which we do not have a chance.
That is why the Lord, like Elisha at that time, wants to remind you that as He was the God who could use Elijah to perform 12 supernatural miracles, and as He could use Elisha in 24 situations (twice as much as Elijah) to perform 24 extraordinary, supernatural miracles (because he dared to ask for it). In the same way, Jesus, the Baptizer with the Spirit, can also equip and use you to do supernatural things as ambassador of heaven here on earth.
Many of us have heard so much about the Lord everywhere along the way and already received so many prophetic promises along the way. Perhaps much of this has not yet been fulfilled.
That's why the Lord is telling you today: This is the season in which you can trust Me to make those breakthroughs happen and to trust Me to start doing those things through you.
Come, take it, and hit that water in front of you! Come and see how I will prepare the waters before you, that you may pass through dry foot.
I hear God's Spirit challenging you: Dream big! Ask those great things of Me that have been lying in your spirit for so many years and see how I'm going to give them to you!
If you really want it, here it is! Come and take it!
The Message of the Kingdom Saves Us
Most of us don't even realize how we were lied to and cheated and robbed in the past year or two.
Of course, we have learned to survive in the midst of it. We have learned to accept it as "the new normal"! We have even begun to develop a new system for ourselves so that we can survive in the midst of it.
For that reason, the King of kings wants to talk to you today from at least two passages in Scripture.
Take your Bible and listen to what He wants to say to you from 2 Ki. 4:8-37 (especially verse 16).
Then read Acts 3:1-10 (focus especially on verses 4 and 5).
Please do this and hear what the Lord Himself wants to say to you from His Word. Then come and read what He told me in this regard to tell you.
Notice especially how this beggar became so accustomed to "handouts" and begging that he didn't even look up at the people coming there next to the temple.
Being really poor and believing that you have nothing and that will never have enough, teaches you to develop a system that can help you just to survive from day to day.
It teaches you things that rich and wealthy people will never know.
Like, where to be helped. Where to get what you need. How to get what you need.
It also makes you fall into this total powerless negativity and cynicism. You lose all hope that it might get better tomorrow. That a miracle might happen tomorrow.
It also makes some of us fall into this negative radicalism or extremism. Especially if anyone could convince you that what is happening here between us now, is what was written and prophesied already in the Word of God, in the Bible!
This makes these people dangerous people, because one who has lost all hope and still believes it must be so, yes, that God said it must be so, is like a tiger cat in a corner, with its back against the wall.
Do you know who I empathize with?
It is those people who spent years and years toiling and sweating at what they believe God told them, and now, after so many years, have not yet seen it realized. Yes, whatever their hope for was lost in the process. Yes, they even feel they've lost everything while trying to obey and follow God!
Therefore, in an attempt to survive, they developed a system for themselves.
The tragedy, however, is that they do not realize that they have been lied to and deceived and robbed!
That's why they need radical biblical renewal.
They need to hear from God's Himself what is truly the truth.
They need to be willing to re-examine and re-evaluate what they think, feel, believe, and begin to do, again, what God is telling them.
They, like parts of the Reformed Church family here in South Africa at present, and like all parts of Pentecost and Charismatic "churches" currently, after years of brainwashing with lies and untruths, need to reform and need again to return to the truth of God's Word.
That's why you and I can't put the microphone down now! Therefore, we must buy out the time to teach others the truth that the Lord has taught us! We need to teach our children and the next generation.
We must not allow them to get caught up in a fantasy world and a world of euphoria.
We have to teach them that there are going to be days when it feels as if we're in Disneyland, but then there's also going to be days when we don't want to get out of bed.
The Lord is pleading with you not to try and give your children everything that you didn't have as children, because then they won’t learn that certain things only come and happen if we keep going and keep going, and get stuck, and work hard, and suffer.
We must not allow their heroes to be just the Korean singing groups like BTG and others.
For those that don’t know, the majority of Korean and Japanese populations have a genetic mutation that means they don’t get the bacteria in their arm pits (because less of a certain sweat gland that causes body odour) that the rest of the world gets. So they don’t have to wear deodorant and never ever get that smell.
No, our children and grandchildren, and the so-called "disadvantaged," must learn that certain things, certain good things, are not just going to fall from heaven or be given to them. No, it's going to cost sweet and hard work.
Therefore, the people of our time again need faith heroes like those of Heb. 11. Who stuck to the end. But even then, never got what they were striving for and hoped for.
Yet they never stopped fasting, for in them there was a faith, an expectation, that never ceased. For they knew that what they were hoping for, was going to happen, because God had said so and promised them that. In other words, even if it doesn't happen in their lives, it's going to happen sometime after that, because God said it!
Therefore, teach your children and grandchildren, and the so-called "disadvantaged" around you, obedience!
Teach them that there are certain truths that will keep standing and that will always be the truth! (Oh, and make sure that what you teach them as rules, are sensible rules; are make or break rules!)
Teach them that there is right and wrong.
Teach them what our final test is for right or wrong.
Yes, that it is not what they read on Google or is what some TV star or pop star do or say!
Truth is what the Living God tells us in His Word, the Bible!
Please, dear believing brother or sister, right or wrong is also certainly not what this or that preacher or church is saying!
Please teach your children to start reading the Bible for themselves. The Living God wants to speak to them Himself. They must learn to read the Bible with an expectation and learn to hear God's voice for themselves.
Teach them to distinguish between what is mere religiosity and what is merely rituals or tradition. Teach them that tradition is just a way of doing things. Therefore, they must learn to hear from God's mouth and learn what is really God Himself teaching us what is truth and right and life.
Teach them to just be content with supernatural revelation! Teach them to hear from God and to wait on Him to reveal His will to them.
Nothing else should please them. They must never stop until they hear from Him.
See, if people have become so used to alms and just enough to survive, then they think that if you have enough money, or have enough bread, or have enough money in the bank, that you have enough.
See, if people are struggling, or just surviving, or sick, or truly poor, then they don't even know that there can be more in life than just money or bread.
They don't even know that a person can trust God for more than that. (Like that beggar in Acts 5)
See, that young woman and that young man must learn that no other human being (however attractive or wonderful!) can ever heal or fill the brokenness and the poverty and negativity in your spirit.
People need to learn that no relationship or marriage can ever make it right.
You have to learn to trust God for more than that.
Congregations and churches need to learn that simply getting bigger and bigger, and building bigger buildings, or having better worship groups, or being able to have the best preachers, is not really success in God's eyes.
Rather, He is going to ask you, Have you made disciples of nations? And, have you taught them to obey everything I have taught you unconditionally? Do you love each other as I love you?
You need to teach businessmen and women that life isn't just work-and-work.
That success is more than a thriving, growing and successful business that makes enough money and generates profit.
Yes, that what God describes as success in business, is much more than that.
Yes, if you still tread on the people who work for you and treat them like slaves, then you must learn that there is still so much more that you need to learn about God’s will for you and your business, before God is going to describe it as successful.
Governments need to learn that you can't imagine that if you gave everyone homes, or gave enough allowances to who needed it, and if everyone has equal amounts of money, or has jobs, that you've truly eradicated poverty and that you're a successful government.
There's so much more than that.
See, if you are really beginning to understand the message of the Kingdom of God, and begin to understand who you are and have in Jesus Christ and in His Kingdom, and what authority you have in the name of Jesus Christ, then the world and the people around you, will recognize it and also will start changing!
Then the impact you have on people, is going to start changing!
See, there is something in the Name of Jesus Christ, the King! There's power in that Name! There are things happening when we start acting and praying and speaking in that Name!
For to begin acting in that Name, you must have heard from the One with that Name what His will is for that situation! What He wants to do and wants to say in that situation.
Because nothing is going to happen if you're not exactly aligned with His heart and His will!
After all, He is the King and it is His Kingdom that must break through and realize here! It is His will that must be done here!
See, if the Kingdom breaks through, your life is going to change, your marriage is going to change, your finances are going to change, your business is going to change, what you give your life for and your time for, is going to change.
Get up and start walking!
Yes, I know it's not easy for you to do this if you've gotten used to the "new normal"!
But if you have truly received supernatural revelation, of what God's will and heart are in this situation, if you have heard from God himself, then you will not be content to just remain in this situation or state or relationship which you have accepted as the "new normal" in your attempt to survive.
Then you'll let me grab you by the hand and pull you up and pull you out of that situation!
Then you will take by the hand that one to whom the Lord has given you a word for, that one for whom the Lord has asked you to pray for.
Then, like Jesus, you will begin reading to people from Isaiah 61 and saying, "The Lord has anointed me and commanded me to...
Start ministering the good news and grace to people to whom the Lord has send you to and has anointed you for!
Repent, for the Kingdom of heaven has come...
If you truly believe that My Kingdom came here on earth with the coming of My Son as a human being, everything you think, say, and do, will have changed radically!
Yes, it will have radically converted you and made you turned around 180 degrees and made you live differently every day.
At least four fundamental truths would have gripped your heart and spirit if you had truly begun to believe the words of the Gospel of the Kingdom, says the Lord.
- You would have believed in all circumstances and in all situations what I assured you and every person on earth more than 20 times in My Word of, namely: I, the Lord, am good! I am a good God who can make every thing in your life work together for your good. (e.g. Ps. 25:8; 100:5; 135:3; Jer. 33:11; Nahum 1:7)
If a father in your world today were charged with the things that you and others sometimes attribute to me and hold me accountable for, you would have locked him up and thrown away the key.
If you really want to understand My heart and see what it really looks like and what My real intention is, look at the life of My Son while He was among you here on earth.
He is perfect theology. He illustrates Me in every sense of the word. He never turned anyone away no matter how deeply they were caught up in sin and whether they had much or little faith. My Son always changed their situation for their good and so that something of My Kingdom could break through there as well.
Jesus calmed storms and healed diseases. Yes, He even brought people who were dead to life. Just think about this for a moment: If I really caused that storm or disease, or kill people, then I as Father, and what Jesus did there, was contrary to each other. Do you now understand that Jesus did what He did because He knew satan and His evil forces were behind it!
Didn't My Son Himself say He doesn't do anything he doesn't see Me as His Father is doing?
Therefore, My Son, Jesus, never allowed sickness to remain. In every case of where someone came to him with their distress or illness, he had a willingness to help and change it. So, all who came to him with their needs walked away healed. Therefore, Jesus and what He has done, is the perfect picture for you of what happens when I, as a good God, truly take complete control and reign as King in a situation. Where My Kingdom comes, sickness and demons, yes, even death, must give way.
- You must remind yourselve and others every day, and every minute of the day, that nothing is impossible.
Just listen to the following verses where I have fixed this truth to your hearts, says the Father:
Matt 17:20 And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief; For, assuredly, I say to you, if you have faith as a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move, and nothing will be impossible for you.
10:27 But Jesus looked at them and said, "With men it is impossible, but not with God; For with God all things are possible.
Luk 1:37 - For with God nothing will be impossible.
Luk 18:27 - But he said, "The things which are impossible with men are possible with God."
Job 42:2 Now I know that you are able to do all things, and that you can do whatever you decide.
Phil. 4:13 I can do all things through him who gives me strength.
People so easily say that they believe I can heal them or change their situation. This is the truth and a good place to start. However, they do not realize that the enemy and every demon also know that and believe it.
Faith is but one of the keys that opens the doors and the windows so that My Kingdom can break through with My healing grace.
At least start there. Build, strengthen, and at least exercise your faith to the extent it has been given to you.
- My Son, Jesus' Blood Has Already Paid for Everything
When Jesus hung there on the cross on April 9, 32 A.D., at 15h00 that afternoon, He said only one word in Greek: Tetelestai! This has been done! Everything needed has been done! (John 19:30)
Everything that was needed, which I, as God, had planned before, and before creation, was fulfilled and completed that moment.
Nothing was needed anymore. Anything you as a human being may ever need, even in a hundred million years from now, has already been completed there on the cross.
Listen to how I say this by my Spirit himself in Eph. 2:7 for you: "... that in the times ahead he may give evidence of the surpassing riches of his grace by his goodness to us in Christ Jesus."
The surpassing riches of God's grace, through His goodness to us, all happened there on the cross and everything was completed and completed there. Everything happened there through the suffering and death of Christ Jesus, God the Son, who became man.
There is nothing that can ever happen somewhere in the future at any point that will make it necessary for Me to do anything more beyond what Jesus did and finished there on the cross.
- Every human being is of value and uniquely fits into My plan, says the Lord
Yes, I know it's easy to believe it about people you feel positive about and who have achieved something in this life. But the whole truth is that as God I feel that way about every human being.
Therefore, it is important to remember that day and that very moment that every human being was born. That day there was someone there who looked at that baby in total wonder and with gratitude, even if it was only for the fact that that child was born alive.
Do you know what changes the way you look at yourself and others? When you hear from My mouth as God who I meant you to be and where you fit into My picture and how I look at you. That moment changes a person's life and after that you never want to be someone else again.
One of the most important things for you to remember in this regard is that long before they did anything to earn My favor and grace, I chose people long before they did anything to earn My favor and grace.
That is what I am telling you in Isa. 61.
Remember, this is the passage Jesus quoted there in Luke 4, at the beginning of His ministry.
"The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim release to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to send out the oppressed into freedom, to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor." (Luke 4:18-19)
But then follows a remarkable conclusion there in that prophetic passage in Isaiah.
These are the very people I had to minister to first in My grace, who are sad and was sad; who was broken and sick; who needed release first; whose lives and relationships must first be restored... They are in the end, of whom Isa. 61:3 and 4 is speaking:
"They will be called Trees of Salvation. The Lord planted them to increase His glory.
They will build up the centuries-old ruins, rebuild long-abandoned places, they will rebuild devastated cities, places that lie desolate for generations."
Think about this a little bit.
Those very people in society who are the brokenest, on whom good "church people" look down and who are shunned by most people... These are the people I have chosen as God, and will anoint and equip to become builders, and restorers of a bunch of new cities; A bunch of "cities of light"!
“Show Me the goodies!”
It is so easy for you to say that you believe these four cardinal truths: That I, your God, am truly a good God; that nothing is impossible; that the Blood of My Son, Jesus, has really already paid for everything; and that every person and their life is meaningful.
But it is only when these life-changing truths have become so part of what you think and of what is valuable to you, that they begin to determine your behavior.
When this happens to you, this would be revealed in your actions now and what comes out of your mouth; this would also be clear in your reactions!
- If God Is Really Good; Dream Big!
Yes, I know you're already so used to, if someone says, "God is good," everyone answers, "All the time!"
But if you truly believe that I am good, as your God, it will become evident to all in your ability to dream big.
After all, as ambassador of heaven here on earth, it is your challenge and calling in the service of the King to dream where you live and work, God-sized dreams that only I can make real as a living God.
Those kinds of dreams are born when you are with Me as your Father and Friend, in your intimate times, John says in four passages (14:12-14; 15:7,16; 16:23-24).
For that reason, I, as your Father, invite you into a daily love relationship with Me, in which I can make My heart and dreams known to you so that they too become your dreams and heart.
If you get to know Me there and discover that I am truly as good as you know Me as a holy God, then you no longer will have any excuses to dream God-sized dreams.
Then you become a willing garden hose through which My goodness as a Father can stream through you to people around you.
- Nothing is Impossible — Start Venturing!
When you truly believe what I have said and promised you in My Word and that nothing is impossible for Me to do for those who believe, you will begin to understand what I meant by the words of My Son, Jesus, there in John 14:12-14, namely: "This I tell you, whoever believes in Me, he will also do the things I do. And he will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father.
Whatever you ask in My Name, I will do, so that the Father may be glorified by the Son.
If you ask mM anything in My Name, I will do it."
Do you realize that this means that you are My solution to death, loss, and destruction that so plague mankind! Do you understand that this also means that I want to use you as answers to COVID and similar other situations!
If you begin to believe it, you will begin to dare to rise up in My name and do what is necessary so that those situations begin to change and so that people see something of the reality of My Kingdom becoming visible before their eyes.
After all, this is what My Son gave His life for, in your life, and in the lives of others around you.
Faith is to make room and space for Me to do the Extraordinary and the Impossible.
Make room for Me to come in and to come and do what I want to do where people believe and trust My Word and began to obey it, and you will see My will and My Kingdom come "as in heaven"!
- Jesus' Blood Has Already Paid for Everything — You Just Really Need to Start Believing and Trusting It
Your whole life, how you think and feel about things, talk about them, and what you do will change radically if you truly believe and trust that My Son gave you His life on the cross and so did everything that was needed.
If you allow Me to open your eyes to the depths and implications of this by My Spirit, it will take you to a new dimension of love and confidence that you have not known until now.
You will begin to understand what I really meant there in 1 Cor. 13:13 by: "The greatest of these is love!" Heb. 11:6 says, "Without faith it is impossible to please Him."
Remember what I said to you there in Rom. 8:32?
"He that spared not even his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, will he not give us all things?"
This word can set you free and change your lives!
- Your Lives Have Unique Meaning — Make It Count Every Day!
That is why it is so necessary for My children to discover their true identity in Christ! Nothing changes a person's life as much as when you have truly discovered who you are in Jesus Christ and that you are truly a child of the Heavenly Father and Almighty God.
Yes, that I have appointed you and want to equip you to be an ambassador and representative of the Kingdom of heaven here on earth, where you live, live, work and move.
This is who you are. From the moment you open your eyes in the morning, until you go to bed tonight, but also when you do nothing, or just sit down and relax or sleep.
This is who you are.
The day you discovered it really changed everything. Then you can understand what happened in John 13 when My Son, Jesus, washed the feet of His followers. Do you remember how this is described?
"Jesus knew that the Father had given all things into His hands and that He had come from God and was returning to God.
And he arose from the table, stripped off his outer garment, and took a towel, and fastened it about him.
Then he threw water into a wash basin and began to wash the feet of his disciples and then dry it with the towel he had around."
Do you realize that My Son could do this because He knew exactly who He was in My eyes and that I had given all things, all might, into His hands?
He, as God the Son, was willing to give up everything to become a human being to fulfill Our Plan. But here at the end of His earthly life, in this last week just before His crucifixion, He also knew that as the Father, I had returned everything into His hands. Yes, that He might restore it, an everlasting inheritance, to everyone who follows Him and believes in Him.
When one of you truly understands who you are in My eyes, son of the King, ambassador of heaven here on earth, but also realizes that you are heirs of this abundant heavenly inheritance, nothing is too insignificant or too insignificant to do.
When these four biblical truths have become the foundation of your faith life and of who you are, I can use you to reveal something of My heart to people where you are and live.
Then I can use you to create between you an atmosphere and a culture in which people can become aware of My presence, My hand, and My glory.
People with normal eyes will then see who I am. There people with ordinary ears hear My voice speaking to them.
