Oasis Revival Ministry: Recent Episodes
Oasis Revival Ministry
We are a family church. We love to host and experience the powerful Presence of God as He builds His Church and establishes His Kingdom on earth as it is in heaven.
Revival is the powerful awakening and manifestation of the Gospel in every believer, in and through the Holy Spirit. The good news of the Gospel is that Jesus came to “give life in its fullness until you overflow!”
We gather every Sunday at 9am near Waverley Pretoria to Passionately Worship Him in Praise, Receive a Fresh and Authentic Revelation of the Word and Heal, Strengthen and Encourage one another in Joy.
God’s promise to our fathers is that He will make us a great nation, which means we will have a lasting legacy. God says I will bless you and make your name famous and distinguished, and you will be a blessing. Abraham is the father of faith to those who also receive this promise through Christ in faith, and inheriting this promise is the outcome of our faith!
Does your security come from the processes you have established or your faith in God your Father? Abraham demonstrates his trust in God by letting Lot choose which portion of the land to live in. Being so secure in God’s Promise, he allows someone else to decide a portion of the process.

In this new season, God is establishing new networks of trust marked by people who deeply trust in God. In this message, Daniel highlights three ways to actively cultivate our faith in God, which in turn enables us to trust those around us better, leading to higher levels of freedom.

As we wait for and pray for the outcomes of new agreements post-elections in South Africa, we look at God's New Agreement with His Church, which offers complete freedom, confidence, peace, joy and a whole new and fresh way of doing things! Oh, that men would Praise the Lord!

During this election week in South Africa, we are praying for a renewed government that is not wicked and corrupt but rather one that nurtures growth and freedom, allowing our people to prosper and our economy to develop as it should! God has destined South Africa, and we carry great promise! It’s time for the birthing of South Africa as a powerful nation strong in innovation and development. God desires that every person will see growth in every area of our lives and that we will do so with much peace and joy! May every South African come to know the abundant love of the Father as we worship and praise His Name!

Paul Majwafi blessed us this Sunday with an encouraging message (or flight, as he called it) about the importance of remaining in the Vine to bear good fruit. In Jesus, we have everything we need to grow because He is the Source of our Strength and Wisdom. God’s call to us is to remain in Him!

A message for all women on Mother’s Day in South Africa: Psalm 113:9: “He makes the barren woman to be a homemaker and a joyful mother of children!” This Sunday, we felt the Holy Spirit encouraging every person in the room to be inspired! The poor are lifted from the ashes to sit among princes, and barren women become creative, resourceful homemakers for their children when they give Praise inspired by the Word of God!
The Son’s of Korah and their sons and their sons were the gatekeepers of the temple and sanctuary of God’s Presence. Even though their father led an uprising against Moses and Aron and was consumed along with the 250 men who joined them in rebellion as they sought position instead of responsibility. In this message Daniel calls on us to pray for Generational Redemption first in our personal lives and families and then for South Africa. May we experience the Glory of God as we keep charge of what is Holy.

A powerful way to pray is to prepare, surrender, and give God the different parts of our lives. Then, we pause, listen, and wait for Him to ignite our hearts with the fire of His Love and Promise so that we can declare His Word over our lives, communities, and nations, ending our prayer with a triumphant Amen!

In his first-ever message, Marius teaches us that living in abundance is all about coming to the table that God has prepared for us. We must go through the open door and accept God's invitation to sit at His table. To thrive on earth, we must be sustained by the life God gives us in Spirit.

For those who have been working hard to build what God called you to build and grow up from the ground, take courage and have heart; fulfilment is on the way! Keep building! God gives us strength and makes us strong! Do what you're doing until what you have built gives Glory to God.

Jesus said, "In me, you may have perfect peace and confidence, but be of good cheer, for I have overcome the world!" Within the meaning of the word peace lies a promise of prosperity for those with a cheerful and joyful expectation to see God's goodness in our land! "For the Lord, your God is bringing you into a good land, a land of brooks of water, of fountains and springs, flowing forth in valleys and hills; A land of wheat and barley, and vines and fig trees and pomegranates, a land of olive trees and honey!" Imagine the joy in our nation if we all passionately pursued the prosperity of peace in every part of our lives?

God's Glory is revealed through us when we desire it to appear in every part of our lives. Sometimes, we might be tempted to force an outcome in an attempt to speed things up, but trying to force things can cause us to lose sight of or step out of God's Glory. In this message, Daniel encourages us to seek the Glory and wholeness that God brings rather than trying to force a situation.

Bernadien delivers a powerful message that highlights the sound the Church is called to make in this world. The sound of a trumpet begins as a buzz reflected back and forth within the trumpet, creating a standing wave that amplifies and resonates, ultimately projecting the distinct trumpet sound. Similarly, our sound is amplified and resonated when we interact in agreement with God's word. As believers, we are called to make a distinct sound in the world that reflects our faith and joy, inspiring those around us with the testimony of God's goodness.
The heart of worship is to cultivate reverence and wonder towards God and acknowledge His favour rests upon those who wholeheartedly love Him. While some may seek an intermediary between them and God out of fear or insecurity, God invites us all to confidently enjoy His presence and stand directly in Awe of Him.
According to Matthew, the outcome of the Gospel is the restoration of the Kingdom of God manifest on Earth and in Heaven, and we as Believers need to baptize and teach the world how to live in the Kingdom. This powerful message will give you a better understanding of life in the Kingdom of God. Daniel unpacks challenging concepts like the mind of the flesh vs the mind of the Spirit and how that determines our expectancy in life. We also look at being sons of God and how living 'from the Kingdom' looks very different to living from the world.

In this message, Chélene focuses on the parable in Matthew 13:33, which says the Kingdom is like leaven, covered by 3 measures of flour until all the flour is leavened. Through her passion for baking bread, we get a glimpse into what it takes to make volumes of perfect bread and, through it, the meaning of this parable and its implication for believers in the Kingdom. We might not always see the Spirit at work, but when He has completed His work in us, we become a feast of God’s goodness for those around us.

How often do you pray? How frequently do you prophesy while you pray? In this message, Daniel discusses the importance of praying all the time, on every occasion and season, with prophetic prayer. One characteristic of our nobility as believers is that we understand the importance and authority of inspired faith-filled prayer. Princes pray and prophesy!

In cricket, being a good batsman takes guts, courage, and the ability to get on the front foot, even though a batter could get seriously injured if he or she misses and gets hit by the ball. Self-preservation can often overcome a batter who is more concerned about not getting hurt than scoring runs! In the same way, we usually try to live a life of faith while avoiding the pain that might come from having to step forward, give something up, or do something we’ve never done before! Jesus referred to it when he said that those who love their lives will lose them. He meant that if we’re too concerned about preserving what we have, we’ll miss out on what could be if we confidently overcome the challenges we face every day!

Arriving where God wants us to be is a constant and daily journey of submitting to the rulership and salvation of Jesus Christ and recognising His Presence in every situation. Let’s make it our mission to be fully present in God’s Presence so we don’t miss the opportunity to be blessed, healed, anointed, empowered, encouraged, and saved! Nicky shares a powerful message stirring our faith to live with a renewed mind and heart, capable of recognising the Power of God in every aspect of our lives!
We are refreshed when we spend time in Awe of God! In this message, Daniel talks about Saul's supernatural conversion into Paul and how, through his transformation, he came to know the renewing power of the Holy Spirit! The church is challenged to not only excel in its faith and love, but to be constantly renewed by a spirit of wisdom and revelation.

Upon Abimelech's repentance in Genesis 20, and the subsequent return of Sarah to Abraham, a remarkable restoration of honor unfolded. In a poignant moment, Abimelech not only sought forgiveness but also invited Abraham to intercede for him. Embracing God's will requires a profound willingness to acknowledge our mistakes, a prospect that often induces fear. However, when we grasp the richness of God's grace and the abundance of spiritual blessings within His fullness, the pursuit of self-preservation loses its grip. In this realization, we become agents of peace and catalysts for restoration in every circumstance, effortlessly weaving God's transformative power into the tapestry of our lives.

When four lepers stumbled upon the bounty of a deserted Syrian army, they first dug in! But they realized there was no use keeping the good news all to themselves, so driven by a new purpose, they shared the good news with their hungry town. Similarly, we must be prepared to share the blessing we receive when God opens the sluice gates and suddenly pours out His Blessing!

In 1 Corinthians 9:24, Paul writes that experiencing righteousness is like running: It requires our participation, training, certainty, and discipline! Righteousness is fuelled by a faith that does not make excuses like “it is too difficult, far, or complicated” but instead, with sparkling clarity, speaks and declares good, empowering news so that we can do it and live it!

This powerful message will encourage you to wait with enthusiasm and endurance and help you stay energized without losing your sense of enjoyment! We don’t get to choose the gestation period of God's promises for us! No one prays that their nine-month pregnancy will only last four. The bigger the promise, the longer the wait- make sure your waiting is active!
We wrap up our series on Overcoming Fear with an encouraging message that will urge you to act positively with everything God has entrusted you. God said He takes delight when we prosper, saying that we will be abundantly prosperous with every work of our hands.
Some people don’t believe this for themselves. Like the third servant in the parable of the talent, they hide and protect every good thing from any influence, essentially preventing what they have from growing.
This servant was a good servant when the master was around because he enjoyed the comfort of letting the master make all the decisions. Still, to overcome fear and have courage, we need to learn to trust that we have the internal resources and abilities to handle life’s challenges. When we ask for Wisdom, we must believe we will receive it!

In this second of a three-part series, we talk about the stories we so often make up in our minds that possibly scare us from the good God wants us to experience. Being courageous isn't just about being able to do what scares us; it's about conquering the internal insecurities we carry daily to school or work.
This week, we are targeting the fear of inadequacy and the fear of being insignificant. If you struggle with either of these fears, know that you can overcome them. You are more than able! And your role is significant!
2 Sam 10:12
"Be of good courage; let us play the man for our people and the cities of our God. And may the Lord do what seems good to Him.

World Cups, battles, challenges, all come and go, but how do we consistently win in life? In this first of a three-part series, we talk about what it means to be courageous and how to overcome the deep internal fears that subconsciously influence our decisions. We talk about the fear of being wrong, defective, or corrupted, the fear of being unwanted and unworthy of love, and the fear of being worthless. Behind every fear, there is a man or woman able to pioneer, inspire, encourage, love deeply, and bring renewal and transformation! God says, Be courageous, be the man or woman you are called to be, and do it for the people around you!

If we are sustained by every Word that comes from the Lord, then we must be able to hear every Word. What happens when we struggle to hear God’s voice? Are we hard of hearing, or is God not speaking? There are times when it feels like God has forgotten about us, as David wrote, but what if we’re not recognising His voice because we’re looking for what we’ve heard or seen before? To hear God’s Voice, we must be able to listen out for what has never been heard or seen before; it’s the foundation of faith - to trust Him even when it doesn’t make sense to our natural senses.

Chuck Parry and his team visited the Oasis Revival Ministry, and we had an amazing time of prayer and activation. Thank you for ministering the Love of God with so much peace and gentleness. We are excited to move forward in faith and obedience to the Lord’s voice as we pray and believe for wonders to follow.
Chuck Parry is the Director of Bethel Healing Rooms in Redding, CA. His vision is to encourage and stir up Open Heaven Communities where believers honor the genuine presence of God’s Spirit moving among us and within us.
The spirit of comparison is a predisposed nature with a prevailing lie: you are not good enough. This inclined nature tempts people to seek approval rather than recognise God’s favour in their lives. Those who walk in favour can say, “God favours me!” They realise that they are blessed, and because they are blessed, they have something to give that energises their relationships and enlarges their impact in and on their communities. In this message, a prophetic declaration and action will call out the favour in your life and help you overcome the spirit of comparison. God will release the overcomer to establish new heights and boundaries of love and honour.
Have you ever been offered a significant gift and been hesitant to receive it, consciously aware of your position? You’ll ask, “Are you sure? Or say, “I don’t know how to accept this.” Something in us needs to be surrendered to receive a Blessing. The Bible says we come and buy without money. What does this mean? In this message, we discuss how sometimes we pay with cash or time when we can instead buy with the Promise God has already given us. Like trees planted near and drawing from a stream, we have to be willing to Welcome the Blessing.
A just and righteous man lives by faith. His actions are forward-focused and full of promise! Like flowers in spring, what he carries speaks volumes of the fruit and seed to come. His bread is the voice of God, and in everything he does, he experiences the goodness of God.
God’s love motivates and equips us for a life marked and rewarded by the fruit it bears, the benefits and produce of our labour! Joy and Gladness are key indicators of a life lived in Obedience to His guidance and instruction.
Noah's name means "Rest." In Noah's days, the world was in turmoil, and the people were wicked. But God told Noah to build an ark and then invited Noah to find rest in the ark he had made. Today God is inviting us to come and find rest in the good works He predestined for us, that we should walk in them and live the good life He prearranged for us. Together, like an ark, we are built up to form a place where we can experience the Presence of God and live and work in the freedom He always planned for us to have.
David declared that he would not even nap until he found a resting place for the Presence of God. Regardless of his challenges, he always expressed his devotion and passion to achieve his anointed calling. God inhabited his Praise! David never allowed his humiliations or hardships to affect his ability to endure; he remained strong and active until he could see the blessing and goodness of the Lord all over his land.
This message will encourage anyone afraid to start something new. Creating something new is always hard and will require a lot of energy, be it time, money, and skill. But don’t get stuck in the halls of conservation. Ask God to give you the bread of life that will enable you to activate the faith and the hope you need to kickstart a dream and turn it into something tangible that will be a blessing to you, your family, and your community!
We explore the story of Mary pouring out her expensive perfume at the feet of Jesus, highlighting the importance of serving Him with our best and most valuable offering. When we align our priorities with God's desires and seek His guidance in our careers and workplaces, we can trust God to bring impact and transformation to weak economies, turning them into strong ones. This message emphasises the significance of authority and integrity in building a robust economy, encouraging believers to demonstrate responsible financial stewardship. Together we are called to make a meaningful impact on the world by embracing actual value while serving Jesus wholeheartedly.

Worship holds a profound power, capable of transforming our hearts and giving birth to something new within us. It is through worship that God brings about deep and lasting change. Recall how Hannah's worship and prayer led to God answering her prayer, and the birth of Samuel, the renowned Prophet whose ministry went on to shape the destiny of kings.
In our modern setting, the worship team diligently prepares the offering in advance, so when Sunday arrives, we're invited to partake with great expectation. True worship, however, demands our wholehearted engagement. Let's embrace the idea of pursuing a double portion, immersing ourselves in worship, and presenting our best offerings of praise. Let’s serve the Lord with Gladness!
God created us to have loads of passion and energy, and way too often, the mountains that lie ahead often challenge us even before we start climbing. Sometimes the journey feels like a treadmill set to maximum resistance; this is an excellent time to try soaring instead of climbing.
The thing about flying, though, is that it requires us to let go of any unnecessary weight and drag we try to bring along. To embark on the journey, we need to strip off every weight that so easily entangles us (Hebrews 12:1) and mount up and soar on wings like eagles ourselves. (Is 40:31)
Choose to rise and take flight, to live a buoyant and cheerful life sustained by God's Presence. Thank you, Jesus, for loving us and lifting us up!

When Jesus sent out the seventy ahead of Him to the towns, he told them to enter into homes proclaiming Peace in those households. This Peace would bring freedom from distress caused by sin, heal the sick, and silence the accuser. Similarly, God is calling us out into our communities, schools, next to the sportsfields, to our extended families, and into our workplaces to proclaim Peace. God is enrolling us to be set apart in word and deed, sanctified in every way so that we see the Kingdom at hand manifest in every part of our communities, cities, towns, and nations!
What we focus on determines our level of satisfaction and fulfilment. When we focus on the Kingdom of Heaven and see things from Heaven's perspective, we seek treasure that is formed in heaven. Eternal treasure expresses itself in our lives in the long term, it has a lasting effect and has an eternal outflow in our lives and into generations to come.

God has destined us to be a powerful nation of Praise, but that won’t happen if the church (you and me) chooses not to gather regularly to Praise. Like Abraham, our faith is empowered when we give Praise and Glory to God. Our hearts are strengthened in Praise because Praise prepares our hearts to expect the best that God has for us. So many of us settle for second best because we haven’t learned to live in and experience the Kingdom of God firsthand. “Instead of bronze and iron, I am going to give you gold and silver,” says the Lord (Isaiah 60:17), urging us to arise from the world’s darkness. “Nations will be drawn to your light, lift your eyes and watch as they gather around you to experience the Glory of God.” Our prayer is that our church will become an engine room of Joy and Happiness in our Nation. We need you to be a part of that engine every single week! God has a plan for us!
Mark Sundays as a day of Praise. Make it your priority. Not because we told you to, but because you want to be part of the sound of Joy, Victory, and Celebration that will grow and swell to transform our Nation, to make it one of the happiest places on earth!
God is our Father, and He is the champion of our cause! This weekend He reminded us to find rest and have confidence in His love for us! Through His Son, He told us to ask and to keep asking, and it will be given! There are two ways to rest in His presence. The first is knowing that God will provide everything we need if we keep asking. We never have to run to inferior and less satisfying sources. God only gives the best and at the right time. The second is to appreciate the fact that He values us as children. We are valuable because of who we are to Him. We don’t have to strive for our identity or prove anything; we are children of the most High!
In this message we draw from the Parable of the Sower in Matt 13 and speak about the heart. How ready is your heart to host God’s Word so that it can seed itself, take root and grow to bear fruit in your life? Listen as we talk about three ways to ready your heart so that it can bear fruit in your identity, relationships and purpose. He who tills the land of His heart to receive The Word, lives completely satisfied and fulfilled.
Join us as we embrace our mandate to host the Presence of God and pursue Revival through the power of Praise. At our church, we understand that Praise is not just an act of gratitude but a way to honor God. When challenged and under pressure, it's tempting not to Praise God until we receive breakthroughs or experience joy. However, genuine Praise goes beyond personal gain; it is about giving God the Highest Praise He deserves, simply because He is God! Therefore, when we gather as a church, we choose to dwell in His Presence and invite others to join us in this divine hosting experience. Together, we create a space where the weary, the lost, and the hurting can encounter the goodness of God.

When it comes to our children, have you ever noticed how they never seem to ask, "Dad, what's my purpose in life?" That's because our children are surrounded by love and care, embraced by a father and mother who make them feel special every day. It's like a constant message being whispered in their ears, saying, "You are valuable!" Similarly: God, in all His wisdom, does the same for us. His provision and care speak volumes, reminding us that we are treasured and that He takes delight in us. We don't have to strive for our worth or try to find our place in this world. He has already given us that gift. You are significant, and your valuable purpose is already within you.
God is building into our Identities, Relationships, and Purpose. The outflow of His work in our lives is renewed confidence, freedom from fear, and a boldness that enables us to obey His Word in Faith. But God can't build on counterfeit, so sometimes He needs us to remove what isn't from Him. This is hard if we've created something good on a counterfeit foundation, much like the man who built his house on sand. But, suppose you open up and allow Him to excavate the depth of your heart. In that case, He can underpin what you have built, replacing false foundations with Godly ones. So let God build in every area of your life.

Mothers are superheroes! There’s a promise in Isaiah 54 for the church (that draws on the supernatural power of a mother) that all our children will be disciples taught by the Lord; great shall be their peace in undisturbed composure! These powerful children will set the battle in order because they have grown up nurtured by influential Spiritual mothers who have encouraged, guided, and cared for them! So, mothers, enlarge the place of your tent, spread abroad to the right hand and the left, and your offspring will possess the nations!
The word provision in English comes from the Latin words providere and provisio, which in short means to be in ‘favour of, set apart, to have foresight or vision, and then to attend to. When we ask God to provide for us, we often ask from a place of lack, and very often, that lack results from not having foresight or a vision that guides us. Faith is the ability to see the Kingdom and act on behalf of the Kingdom. Having Faith is like having Pro-Vision; we become Pros (set apart and very good) at what we do because we understand God's heart and have Vision.
The Holy Spirit works through believers when believers believe. Philip (not the apostle) did powerful works in Samaria, proclaiming Christ wherever he went! He demonstrated that God has called every believer to go out and minister in the power and love of the Kingdom. Make this declaration today; “I believe that the Holy Spirit can work through me for my community to bring healing, hope and restoration to my family and community!”
In this week’s message, we break open this verse - “We don’t consider the things that are seen, but we look to what is unseen because the things that are seen are temporal and the things that are invisible are everlasting.” - in the context of the current situation we are experiencing in South Africa. What does it mean to have faith when we as a nation are running on empty, and what does it mean to have authority and dominion? We must rise out of the darkness that has covered our land; it’s time to shine because the Glory of God has risen upon us!

There was significant chaos in an agitated Jerusalem as Jesus was crucified, but to understand the power and influence His Resurrection would have on the world, one would have to look below and underneath all the chaos and noise taking place at ground level. David wrote, “For God alone, my soul waits in silence… My soul waits silently submitted to Him, for my Hope and Expectation are from Him! This Easter, we learn that to ‘Discern the Times,’ we need to learn how to trust God’s voice even when current affairs point away from His Promise. On the surface, all looked hopeless, but down in the depths of Hell, Jesus had already conquered it all.
We were born to taste and see that God is good (Psalm 34:8) and that tasting is the process of growing and learning, of being molded and shaped by the goodness of God that so lavishly fills our earth, waiting for us to come and find it.
It is this innocence and ability to be impressionable that Jesus calls to when He says, “Unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.” (Matt 18:3 NIV) Speaking to the adults in the room, Jesus was saying something along the lines of “unless you travel back in time, to the days of your innocence and youth, and rewire your thoughts and habits perceivably hardwired into your belief system. Unless you change, You will never see the Truth of the Kingdom of God.
God has given every person gifts, and those qualities, abilities, or assets, when not neglected, often open up the door to the victories we have long been praying for. Rest is the state we find ourselves in when we work from the gifts God has given us.
As Believers, we often use analogies of 'servants and kings' to highlight different aspects of our nature in Christ. One misconception is that those who serve can’t be kings and that those who are like kings are better off than servants. But there’s a paradigm shift that God wants us to have, and it’s this. “Only servants who understand royalty get to travel with the King.” These are servants like princes in their own right, people who serve even though they have long stepped out of the stronghold of a poverty mindset. They get to represent the King wherever He sends them, helping with joy and great passion!

How do we handle the disappointment of a 'no'? Bernadien and Daniel discuss the disappointment and frustration of a no. When something doesn't happen as expected, or someone says no, we have to choose how to respond so that many minor negatives don't weigh us down altogether.

Behold, it is a blessing when the Body dwells together in Unity! Unity is a necessary and desired trait of the church! In this message, we discuss how Unity stands on two legs: Commitment and Honour.

God created us to give and receive love from the Father, and our fulfillment is in doing so. This message invites us to say yes and allow God to heal our hearts when broken or threatened. Even though we experience uncomfortable times of transition, pressure, and negativity, it is essential never to let external forces shape our hearts but to be filled by His Love for us.
This Sunday, God blessed us with an experience of His great love for us. In a time of healing, God is bringing back those who have been held captive by their thoughts and past experiences. As Psalm 126 says, when the Lord brought us back, it was like in a dream; our mouths were filled with laughter! This laughter speaks of the great joy that comes when our heart responds freely to the fullness of His Love!

There are modern-day 'watchmen' calling everyone to come into the Presence of the Lord to Praise! Just like in Isaiah's days, the call goes out to every person. "Come! Let us ascend the mountain of the Lord, to the House of God, that He may teach us His ways and that we may walk in His paths." Praise is the ascent; it lifts us higher into His ways of gratitude, peace, and prosperity. And they become our ways.

We have all prayed and waited at some point with seemingly little to no answer from God. But have you ever considered that your prayer requires God’s most profound care and attention as one of the millions in a moment? Daniel waited 21 days before an Angel arrived to say, “God has heard you!” So, even when you don’t see it, God has His full attention on you and has heard you pray! In this message, we discover there is great peace and blessing in waiting earnestly with great expectation.
When it comes to living a fulfilling life, having faith is critical. It helps us conquer challenges, administer justice, and obtain God's promised blessings. However, it's easy to get caught up in trying to have faith on our own. That's why it's important to remember that true confidence comes from allowing God's love to ignite our faith. So let's let that love awaken our faith and bring us to new heights!
Faith and obedience don't always have to be about doing significant and challenging endeavors. Most often, the small things we do daily reflect our commitment to God and our promise to those around us. These can be things like the words we choose to use (or not use) or a commitment to doing little tasks faithfully that bring us great success. With only a little faith, we can move mountains!

The only way to start fresh, renewed, and stay energetic is to live and walk in God’s magnificent ways! So kickstart your year by affirming Jesus as the Lord of every moment, emulate His Nature, and allow Him to work through you every day!

Every event or experience has a beginning and an end, and the start of something new often marks the conclusion of something else. Jesus' arrival marked the end of a significant and well-known era and heralded a new beginning. He brought about significant change, but also brought peace and joy to all people during times of transition.
In the parable of the prodigal son, the second son carried resentment which blinded him from the favour he was currently in. We are not without favour, God's favour shines upon us. In this message, Daniel talks about what it means to ask and keep on asking because of the favour of God in our lives.

Sermon of the Week, November 27 2022

Sermon of the Week, November 20 2022
Pursuing God’s Glory leads to a life of honor and peace! But many have exchanged glory for profit and gained nothing. The challenge is to seek God’s Glory without making excuses for not becoming, doing, or going where God has called us to. Say not (insert your favorite excuse)!

There is a difference between an offering and a sacrifice. If a sacrifice is a singular and painful in-the-moment experience, an offering is precisely the opposite. An offering is a dedicated gift; to consistently bring our best from a place of blessing. It is a permanent celebration of God’s favour in our lives. What is your offering?

God as Father, has promised through a Covenant of Peace to establish every Believer in Confidence, Peace and Increase in the Garden of His Presence. Those who stay in the garden have their time redeemed, hearts restored, and their lives filled with goodness and beauty.
If you will walk in may ways and keep my charge, then also you shall rule in my house and charge of My courts - Zech 3:7
To keep charge means to be entrusted, to have authority, to commit and to be willing to pay the price. Through the love of the Father, we can live powerful and fulfilled lives, excellence and perfection the mark of our lives. But without love, striving for perfection becomes performance and control. Without love, over-commitment leads to unnecessary sacrifice and weariness. Find out how to walk in the Father’s love, taking charge and living a life of certainty and meaning.

Just like the 12 spies who went to spy out the land, there will be times where we have to choose to take the land, or turn back afraid of the risks and difficulties we might encounter. The land in this case, refers to the dreams and visions God has given or promised you. One of the giants in the land is the spirit of poverty. Poverty attacks us at the deepest level of our identity, values and purpose. But God has already given us the Power to get and establish wealth, defeating poverty! It's part of the covenant, it's part of the deal when we receive our salvation! Jesus came to save us from every work and effect of the enemy, including poor self esteem and lack! Our side of the deal is to fear the Lord and walk in obedience. To love the Lord and passionately serve Him. It's all for our good!

The Holy Spirit is preparing our hearts for great things as a Church. He is preparing us to hear His Voice, and have the courage, boldness and ability to act on what He has called us to. God's Timing is very specific and filled with purpose. But for most people, 'God's Timing' means something along the lines of "I didn't get what I expected, when I expected it", a reference to disappointment and delay. That's not God's Timing! His Timing is very sudden, and often, we are left in awe at having received more than we bargained for, a lot sooner than we expected! God's Time cuts through the world's understanding of time, and invites us to take action even when it doesn't make sense, so that we don't miss out on what God is calling us to, in a specific season.

Faith always requires action, and in the same way that you can’t discover that you can run without actually running, you won't discover faith unless you actually live a life of faith. Our Faith in the resurrecting power of Christ helps us run out of uncertainty and disappointment.

God our Father does have his hand on our lives especially when we start our journey of obedience. But like a dad teaching his children to ride their bikes, there comes a day when God has to let go and release us, trusting that we’ll follow Him with all of our heart in obedience. Jeremiah 31:32-33 speaks of this. The fruit of our obedience is then that we are able to take ownership of our own mistakes, move further and with more freedom, and discover that when we do fall we can get back up again, not giving up on what God has promised us.

As Joseph's brothers knelt before him in Egypt, the contrast between those who hear and obey God's voice, and those who don't, could not be clearer. True obedience is rare, it is marked in a person by their extraordinary ability to overcome and lead even in the toughest conditions and circumstances. They are in the minority. The majority however, have to bow to their circumstances, constantly driven by their hunger and fear. Obedience is a gift. It is Grace, and in the end, it leads to great power and authority in the Kingdom.
Jacob’s life was complicated and filled with redundancy. He cheated for his brothers birthright, ran away from home, agreed to stay and work 7 years for the wrong wife, worked another 7 years for the right wife, manipulated the flocks for his gain, ran away from his uncles homestead, and on returning and in fear, sent his family and servants and flocks ahead in groups. There wrestling with God through the night, in a way, Jacob wrestled with his own disobedience, until he could see it. What is your name? What is your testimony?

There is only one way to be completely satisfied, and that is to passionately pursue God's ways. Those who relate to God as a master, who is furious and angry, struggle to follow God's ways.

Obedience is the quickest, easiest and fastest way to experience the best that God has for us. It’s in obedience that God makes a way where there seems to be no way or where He turns intended evil into good. So, likewise, obedience will guide us from habits of defeat into God’s ways of victory.

In Him, there is an abundance of salvation, hope, and confidence.

'"Then" God shook the mountains, but "Now" God comes with a promise.
Whenever we go through an event that threatens to shake us, we know that we don't have to allow the event to shape us and bend us, but we can look to the Promises now that God has given us. Trials do develop maturity but they won't be of any use if we allow the trials to form the basis of our belief and faith. It's important to take our eyes off of the then(event) and focus on the now (promise). Join us as we look into the order of God's Presence, as He first brings Healing, Peace and then Grace to help us grow upward and stronger.
There's a moment in our lives where what we know about God's desire for us becomes very real to us. It's like feeling His Word being pressed into our hearts, becoming one with us, us becoming more and more like Him. This is breaking free! Bernadien shares on what it's like to eat at the table of our cultivated salvation and answers questions like, 'What are we cultivating?' 'What do we get to enjoy in God's feast?'
Pandemics, politics, conspiracy theories… are all part of a great battle for your mind, but the real battle is in our homes - not out there somewhere.
It’s the battle for True Intimacy and Identity and the enemy is stealing love and honour from amongst our husbands and wives, and growing children. Sex is not an identity. Sex is an action that can only be good when it comes from intimacy within a marriage. This week we talk about what is not often spoken about from the pulpit. We talk good sex, the way God designed it, as a celebration of and in Marriage, as a promise of inheritance, a gift of honour and of blessing.
Unbelief will believe in nothing and listen to everything. Belief is the discovery of God's Wisdom at work in our lives, and it brings us great joy and rest, even in the midst of chaos. As believers, we understand that it is the Spirit that acts on the body and that our DNA is shaped, formed and reformed by the Supernatural Power of the Word and our belief and trust in it.
Put down the distractions! Dedicate yourself to the life you have been given! Direct your heart to the Lord and serve Him by praying for, loving and serving those closest to you.
How do we break the cycle of disappointment and pain?
Many of us have had to overcome waves of disappointment this year and have no idea how to heal. The original meaning of disappointment was to to removed from your position. By agreeing with disappointment we run the risk of being isolated from our identity!
God wants to restore those you have been hampered and disappointed. He promises that His Hope will not disappoint!
God is Faithful! He has consistently promised to be our Father and our Judge, meaning He will restore Grace and restore Peace in our lives and in our nations! Listen as we go back to the Promises God has given to us from 2017 to today and on to tomorrow. He is taking us from corruption to correction, from pandemic to provision, from fear to freedom, from helplessness to servanthood and authority in the Kingdom. All of this, while we continue to Praise Him and Exalt our God with great Joy! He is King of Kings, and Lord of Lords!
When it seems too late, and the voices are encouraging you to give up. When many opinions from many sources offer nothing but disappointment, and the waves threaten to overwhelm. It’s time to believe in one Source for one moment. Jesus overheard and ignored the bad report and went to heal Talitha. Do not be seized or alarmed, only keep believing!
Fear of imminent danger is good (like the fear of going too fast), it protects and keeps you alive. But there is a fear that steals - it’s the fear that robs you of your identity, your purpose and your anointing. To fear is to believe in what is false and empty. To believe is to recognise your calling and your anointing and to serve God with authority, never afraid that you won’t be who God created you to be.
When we are dedicated to staying in the Presence of God, under His wings, we will not be distracted from the calling and grace on our lives. We will find out what it means to live from favour instead of 'for approval', and in authority instead of 'for power.'
We can’t live without feeling the tangible Presence of God and similarly we can’t live without being aware of the divine calling that we all have been given. This message is a call to wake up out of self preservation, depression and anxiety and to boldly and courageously step forward and walk in the Power of the Holy Spirit for the Glory of God. To not abandon the promises of God, but to say Yes to His call, because we are blessed in God’s Name.
Obedience to God can only come from a heart of intimacy and worship. It’s our Yes to His Goodness! To be obedient is to cultivate a blessed environment around us, choosing God’s ways always leads to greater freedom and joy.
Too many people are carrying burdens they don't need to carry. They have come to love their burdens and don't want to put them down. Jesus invites us to drop the boulder on our backs and pick up a different kind of burden. When Jesus gives us something to carry, he only gives us what we need to carry for the purpose of refreshing and restoring. His gift to us is rest, and that rest opens up our hearts to experience God's love.

Laura shares an inspiring message on the wellspring of our lives. God wants to restore to us our inspiration and our capacity to imagine in every situation and season. A wellspring is an abundant source! "Keep and guard your heart for it is the wellspring of life."
A refreshing word by Justin vd Berg that builds on and recaps the messages from the past month as we Build the Kingdom together. Allow the Holy Spirit to stir you as you listen to this message as God equips us and has given us the strength to overcome and build.
How deep is you're well? Your life is either moulded by your external experiences, or it is formed and created by what comes from inside. Both are directed by your perspective and expectation, and what you allow to motivate you. Jesus invited the thirsty to come and drink. This drink doesn't just take thirst away, it is a wellspring, a constant inner source of life and activation. Sometimes Jesus would offend the external to reveal what is actually in the heart. Take note of your reactions to things going on around you, what does it reveal about what you carry in your heart?
Stop and feel.
Feel God’s Love.
You are not overlooked.
Work from love, not for love.
There’s a wow moment every day.
When we welcome Jesus, the King of Kings, to reign in our lives, we welcome the Kingdom of God into our hearts. In that moment we become capable, strong and powerful and are no longer tempted to be weak, confused and bitter. It's time to let the King of Glory in, let the light of His Presence flood our hearts.
In this message, Daniel shares a humorous story about buying their first washing just after Daniel & Bernadien got married and how it taught them the importance of following the instructions and listening to the voice of reason. Humility is the door to obedience, and being obedient can prevent you from harming many other people in your life. Have a listen!
This message is an invitation to rediscover God’s Truth by diving into His Presence in Worship.
When the Israelites were being held captive, they said, “On the willow trees in the midst of Babylon, we hung our harps.” But then they encountered the Presence, and the Nature of God, and their hearts were stirred to rekindle their love and yearning of God.
Have you let go of your worship? Are you straining for the Truth?
God is inviting you to come and rest first in His Kindness, and then He will invite you to drink of the Holy Spirit so that you can worship again, in Spirit and Truth.
**Our lives are shaped and formed by the words we choose to say. The Bible tells us that our words are so powerful, they can kill or give life (Proverbs 18:21) and he who controls his tongue is a perfect man (James 3:2) If our words shape our lives, then that means every word we say essentially becomes a type of promise by which we live. (Psalm 61:5)
In this message, we discuss what it means to find life in God’s Presence and speak only what we see formed in God’s Kingdom.**
Life flourishes in the Presence of God. The best way to tap into the flow of His nature is to Pray Earnestly. In this message we discuss 4 ways God answers prayer and how to pray personal prayers of revival.
The best way to start your walk of Faith is to step out and surrender. Listen to this message by Justin vd Berg to discover that it's better to be surrendered than prepared, that you learn more from questions than answers, and that faith is not a knee thing but a heart thing. Faith is all about recognising the voice of God and stepping into the divine approval He has for your life.

How Wisdom is given in the moment, for the moment, in relationship.
God loves it most when we respond to His nature, understand His heart, and even take on His character. Did you know that maturity doesn’t necessarily equal Wisdom?

There is a lot of pain in the world right now, and to deal with that pain, many resort to anger in an attempt to be powerful. But the truth is nothing can steal a person's thunder more than anger. Anger is a false power rooted in fear. In response, God gives us the power to demonstrate His loving Kindness. Kindness does not adapt and break down your values to suit the other. Rather, it invites the other person into your world - the Kingdom of God.

We receive the power to overcome when we can align our thoughts and actions with the ways of the Holy Spirit, when what we do is driven by our Spirit-man and not the flesh, when flesh is obedient to the Spirit. The greatest temptation we face is not sin itself - but the normalisation of sin, failures, mistakes, fear, and the complacency to challenge our flesh to align with the Spirit. Find out how to overcome and experience the freedom God intended us to have.

Urged on by faith Abraham, when he was called, obeyed and went forth to a place which he was destined to receive as an inheritance; and he went, although he did not know or trouble his mind about where he was to go. So often, in an attempt to achieve an outcome, we get too focused and honed in on the processes involved. If God is our protector and provider, the outcome will always be what we are hoping for; we just don’t have as much control of the process as we think we do. You can let go of a process without letting go of the desired outcome. Right now, our processes are being shaken, and that’s completely ok. In the end, God will still do in our lives what He promised He would do. Oasis Revival Ministry https://revivalministry.co.za Bernadien Music: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCGOr...

Covered Music: God of Revival, by Bethel Tremble, by Mosaic
The message of the world says, ‘you are not qualified,’ and it is often the first lie many people choose to believe. In doing so, they disqualify themselves from living whole and fulfilling lives in the Presence of God. There is a compelling choice that qualifies and equips you to live a powerful life; It is to serve God in sincerity and truth. This choice says, ‘Use me, God!’ even when it seems impossible.
In this message we discover that forgiveness is like a door that leads to deeper levels of faith, freedom and joy. To forgive is to choose to believe in the promises God has for you, and to stand firm in the realisation that no one can steal your joy. May you be encouraged to grab hold of God's promises for you regardless of the pain and disappointment you may have experienced.
When Paul prays for the church in Philippians, He prays that their love may abound so that they can sense what is vital, excellent and of real value.This is in invitation to let God’s love transform your knowledge of God into knowing God.
We were all created to live out of the fullness and abundance of Jesus Christ. This message explores the powerful and exciting implications of living out a life where grace and favour and gift upon gift are given without measure to those who believe.
Right from the start, God has given you everything you need to enjoy the work of your hands and excel in your field. Those who receive God’s abundant provision of grace and the gift of righteousness, reign in life! When we reach maturity and dominion, we act as generous benefactors distributing the supernatural abundance of our Father’s Kingdom.
The church (the living breathing committed body of Jesus Christ) should be the start and the centre of all God inspired work carried out on earth, influencing every sphere of government, the corporate world, shaping the respective cultures of our society. The church was not mandated to control all these works, but to find wisdom and inspire these works. It is time to pull up our sleeves and rebuild the church and establish and confirm its place as the shoulder on which society can rest.
There is only one way to be fully satisfied, and that is to pursue the presence of God in your life with all of your heart.Those who earnestly seek Him have lives marked by Godly desire, discipline, dedication and devotion. “Blessed and prosperous are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness for they shall be completely satisfied!”
Love is not just a feeling. It’s a decision to pursue the best for someone else, and it comes from a place of confidence, belief, and victory. Similarly, God’s love for us is not just His way of feeling; God doesn’t love anyone by accident, He is determined to see every person have the confidence and faith to overcome the world. For God so dearly loved and prized the world that He gave up His only begotten Son.
“Through Godly Wisdom is a house built, and by knowledge shall its chambers be filled with precious and pleasant riches." A prosperous life does not come overnight and by chance, it is built up with time as wisdom and maturity lead the way. Find out how you can choose to live a prosperous life by following three steps as set out in Proverbs 24. The first step is to change your way of thinking - killing every lie that causes you to doubt, lack and be intimidated. The second is to put first things first and work in your field before building your home. The the third step is to build your place of rest.
Job said, “Up until now I have only heard… but now I SEE…” His second life differed from his first in that He now had the ability to see the Kingdom of God. Jesus invites us to see the Kingdom and live empowered by a vision rather than just doing what we’re told.
To live without the Holy Spirit is to strive in the physical. This strive manifests itself as effort without reward and the anxiety and stress associated with failure. Find rest and peace by yielding to the Spirit and the purpose that God has given you.
God has made us perfect in every way. Becoming who He has truly made us to be, means getting rid of the outer layers we often cover ourselves with. Sometimes we cover out fear, sometimes as if to project something greater than ourselves or sometimes simply to cover up what’s on the inside. We fear that we’re not enough to meet the expectations of those around us.
The law kills by condemnation and bringing shame. It is consistently falling short of perfection. You will always find something wrong with yourself when you try clothe yourself as the world clothes itself.
But the Spirit which is inside of you - reveals Life - it makes all things new!
The delight that God has in you will feel like the sun’s rays on a cold winter morning. Already we are starting to feel the excited glow of His Presence when we think about the plans that He has for us. Don’t forsake your dreams in this time, but delight in them because God delights in you.
We are all tempted by the same things, no temptation is unique to any man. Some people do however make a bigger demon out of a problem than they should. The temptation is to blame failure on outside influences when really most failures start as a position of the heart. God wants to change all that in your life by changing your identity and understanding of your identity in Christ. Like Abraham, your name is changed when you no longer consider your own impotence but rather have full faith in the promises of God. Grow strong and be empowered by faith as you give praise and glory to God
Gladness is the so often the missing link between hope and joy. To be glad is the heart's position and ability to be content with the process of journeying from expectation to victory. Find how to have peace regardless of circumstance, endurance to hope a little longer, and how to recognise victory when it comes.
Have you ever, in the absence of food, tried to comfort a hungry baby? Maybe you’ve been confronted with the irrationality of a HANGRY adult! Our souls have a built-in hunger, only satisfied by our daily realization that God is with us. God understands this & doesn’t want anything to interfere with His most awesome gift, Him doing life with us! We need to cultivate a consciousness of God's Presence in our lives. God's presence is very real in our lives even though we may not feel His presence as often, He is very near and He calls us His beloved children.
As we work, there is so much that can be established & accomplished. In all that is generated, there is not one product that can see, hear or speak into our souls.
Only a living being can do that. God is alive & that’s why, every day, He is speaking. Can you hear Him?
“The people who know God shall prove themselves strong and stand firm.” The most significant challenge we face as believers is to stand strong and firm with regards to our thought lives. An influential person is aware of the Kingdom of Heaven and can interpret God’s Word clearly for life on earth. God wants to restore to us the years (and thought lives) lost to anxiety, stress, and depression.
God uses His Presence to lead us in a direction. If you can see or sense Him in a situation, it’s safe to follow. One thing we can learn from the Israelites is that God sends His Presence to surround us wherever we go. He frequently instructed the Israelites to do certain things in remembrance of His great and marvelous works. Likewise, God knows that our faith and hope is stirred up when we are reminded to see and feel His presence. Let this inspire you to walk in a way that bears a testament of His great work to your children and your children’s children.
There are two things the church can not afford to do. One, adapt the Gospel to suit the culture of the day. And two, adapt our Faith to suit what we see in the natural. In this message, we highlight how Paul stood up for the Gospel and how Jesus taught us to protect our hearts by behaving in the opposite spirit when provoked to be free of the fear of man
The power you can receive through the love of Christ is far greater than any weapon or attack that might come against you. In Jesus Christ, the battle becomes a mismatch between an enemy that fights blind, and the person encouraged and guided by the supernatural power of the Holy Spirit. Those who are governed by the Holy Spirit have already gained an unfair advantage; darkness can never overpower the light.
You take on the name of your Father when you believe in His son, Jesus Christ. This is the start of continuous breakthrough and growth. The enemy might test you to find your weaknesses, but empowered by the Spirit of God you grow and stand firm until you are victorious. The combined victories of the church collectively reveal the many different aspects and the infinite variety and glory of God.
There are times that at the point of breakthrough we are distracted and tempted by the easy pickings and spoils of war. This happens when our focus is so drawn in on the current battle or challenge that we forget to keep our eyes on the long term vision for our lives. Don’t sit up in premature relief! Only those who have stood the test of time will receive a victors crown!
When we live out of the identity we have in Christ, we find that all our desires and plans are met and fulfilled. We grow from salvation to victory! Find out how God breaks the spirit of comparison and poverty by replacing them with a good name and His loving favour.
Joy is a dynamic and all-powerful source of inspiration, courage, and faith. In a world looking for inspiration, we have a unique opportunity to influence the world by living aspirational lives that demonstrate God’s incredible love for the people of this world.
God created us to be a voice on the earth, ever calling out the wonder and awe-inspiring nature and will of God. Our praise starts with a revelation of who God is, and not what He does (or doesn’t do) - We don’t believe in God because He does things, we believe because He is God. The atmosphere in any room or amongst any group of people can be influenced by what we say or declare in the crowd. We have the power to change and shift the atmospheres in every situation with the sound of joy and praise. In this message, there is an invitation to know God for who Is - as I AM, and there is an invitation to change the sound of the rooms you walk into.
Lift up you eyes and see that God has already opened up the doors for you! We’re not called to wait any longer, but to rise up out of unbelief, and step into the powerful fullness of God in our lives.
The Spirit of God is on the move, healing and restoring the hearts of broken children and breaking the cycle of neglect, pain, and abuse. When we embrace God fully as our Father and allow Him to champion our cause, we step into our role as kings on earth; called to champion the purpose of our own children and lead and empower many more to live full and prosperous lives as children of God.
‘God isn’t offended by your biggest dreams or boldest prayers. He is offended by anything less. If your prayers aren’t impossible to you, they are insulting to God. Why? Because they don’t require divine intervention.’ - Batterson, Mark. The Circle Maker
In this message we highlight four key values that will help you pray powerful prayers that invite God to do the impossible in your life. These values will help you pray big audacious prayers inspired by the prophetic word over your life, instead of small timid prayers in response to every difficult situation you face.
In Psalm 111 & 112, the Church is described as the ‘Council of the Upright,’ and that we (the offspring) shall be mighty upon the earth. The generation of the upright shall be blessed as light arises in the darkness for the upright.
In these times of shaking and heaving, God is reforming and shifting the power and the responsibility of the Kingdom over to the Upright. However, we must not be found complacent! Psalm 82 paints a picture of God who has arrived amongst the Church as the world shakes and trembles - only to find the Church stuck in the darkness of complacent satisfaction.
There is a Fire that both consumes darkness and promotes the righteous to power. Two powerful demonstrations in the Bible depict God appearing as a Fire that does not destroy. That Fire advanced and shifted the power to the righteous and effectively changed the course of history forever. It is time for the Church to step out of complacency into this Fire and be passionately powerful.
Obedience is the most evident fruit in a believer's life. In this second message of our "Believer" series; we take a look at what it means to be quietly confident. Have you ever felt the pressing need to have an answer or make a declaration for every situation? Sometimes it's better to let our words be few when we don't fully understand. When Jacob had to leave Canaan under challenging circumstances, God took him back to Bethel where God had first given him his lifetime prophetic promise. (Gen 35) In the same way, God is reminding us of our lifetime promises. Obeying these promises keep us energised and encouraged regardless of the present trials we might face.
How do I believe? We answer this question by giving a description of what a believer looks like in real life. Believers have a personal relationship with the Word, and they can testify that the Word has stimulated, encouraged, and charged them. Believers can see and hear what others can not. They are always encouraged, never afraid nor anxious. They are wise and full of knowledge.
Our Mother’s day message is a cry for freedom in the home, manifested in two ways. Lady Wisdom demonstrates the first; she stands on the busy street corner calling our Mother’s to take the time out of the hum and drum, steering your families away from panic and whirlwinds of busyness into the peace that only the Holy Spirit can give. (Proverbs 1:20) The second is a cry to our fathers not to abandon our mothers and cover them in words and actions of violence. (Malachi 2:15)
Marriage is the pillar that God has established for the protection and growth of a righteous offspring. The Spirit of God is moving across our nation to bring peace and hope to our mothers and their families to ensure that our families are blessed in this generation and beyond!
It is impossible to describe the beauty of the Lord, but when our spiritual eyes and ears are focused on the Lord’s magnificent Glory it is impossible not to be satisfied and filled with incredible joy! Many have fallen because of their inability to see, hear and feel the love of God, but God wants to awaken your desire to stay in is House. God’s love is not just a feeling, it is a power that gives life and hope to every person and our only desire should be to dwell in the house of the Lord
As believers and South Africans it so important to remember that we are citizens of the State which is in Heaven. (Phil 3:20-21) Which means we think and behave differently to those who do not believe. We should not be affected, shaped and identified by what we see going on around us, but we should be ones who are developing and forming our environment by that which flows out of us. Anyone who lives a Kingdom lifestyle will be identified by the way they rejoice, love and pray with thanksgiving.
What most people don’t fully understand is that Jesus’ mission on earth was to usher in a complete overhaul and redesign of our faith and ultimately our lives. When He rose from the grave, He stood up and handed us a complete victory that to this day empowers us to win battles to live in triumph consistently.
Six hundred years before Jesus came to earth, Daniel had a vision of the risen Christ. Jesus, clothed in the most beautiful linen and gold, His face like lightning, His eyes like flaming torches, his arms and feet, like glowing bronze and His voice like the sound of a multitude of people so large it sounded like the roar of the ocean.
What Daniel saw was a complete picture of the Body of Christ in full victory. The sound of His voice was the victory shout of every nation, church, tribe, race, and generation shouting out a great Hallelujah; it’s roar - in praise and honor - demonstrating the Glory of God.
There is no greater delight to God than our obedience. So often we try and find our way without stopping and listening to the still small voice of God. Today we are bombarded by information that comes from social media and friends and family, but how often do we actually stop and wait for the voice of God to become clear? When not distracted and fully responsive to the voice of God, our obedience grows in increasing measure and so does our favour with both God and man as we prophetically embrace God’s calling on our lives - enabling us to reap a harvest that is superior in every way to the that which is reaped without following the voice of the Holy Spirit.
Austin and his team from the Bethel school of supernatural ministries visited us this Sunday. Austin talks about the great love the Lord has for you. He also talks about the journey that he has been on for the last couple of months, the journey into the simplicity of the Gospel. He shares a simple revelation of the love of God for you.
When you get a ball on top of a ramp they say it has a lot of potential and then as the ball starts to roll the potential turns into kinetic, but the ball has to start rolling first for the potential to turn into kinetic. This means, be okay to respond the way you want to when something is happening, when God is doing something amazing - do not be afraid to shout and be joyful. Be free today to experience what God is doing in you today.
Fall in love all over again with Lord by discovering the simplicity of the gospel and His tender love that He has for you. The love of the Lord becomes a reality and that changes the way we live life.
“O unhappy and pitiable and wretched man that I am! Who will release and deliver me from [the shackles of] this body of death?
O thank God! [He will!] through Jesus Christ (the Anointed One) our Lord! So then indeed I, of myself with the mind and heart, serve the Law of God, but with the flesh the law of sin.”
Romans 7:24&25 AMPC
God does not mind your sin, When Jesus died on the cross for our sin God’s behaviour changed, He does not relate with our sin anymore he relates with us in LOVE. God will never leave you in a place that is unhappy and pitiable.
The greatest moment of the David and Goliath story is when David determined in his heart that no one will defy the armies of the living God. At that moment David proclaimed that Goliath WILL be destroyed just like the lion and the bear. There were no ifs and buts but a determined decision to defend and uphold the Kingdom of God.
Every now and then you have to beat your plowshares into swords and weapons of war. (Joel 3:10) Everyone wants to plant seeds and reap a harvest, but that becomes impossible when there is no land to plant into. We are waging a spiritual war against principalities that need to be beaten back out of their areas of influence. We enlarge our spheres of influence and increase the fertility of our hearts and minds when we drive out the spiritual forces of the kingdom of darkness.
Do you need to make a determined decision to reclaim lost ground and restore your faith, wellbeing and even your belongings? Listen to this message and ask the Holy Spirit to strengthen you and give you the wisdom and courage along with the weapons and tools you need to drive the enemy out.
Jesus healing the blind man by spreading mud on his eyes is a neat metaphor for how God recreates and renewed our vision so that we are not blinded, distracted, and confused by false customs and practices that have no power to restore and redeem.
There are 4 powerful truths that empower us to keep our eyes on God’s vision of his Kingdom established on earth.
Wait patiently, God will hear your cry - don’t be tempted to start looking around for solutions that are not birthed and inspired by God.
God will pull you out of the clay, and then like a potter remolds and reform you. Jesus recreated the blind man’s eyes with clay and then washed his blind history away.
Jesus had no burdens, He could constantly see what the Father was doing and he was always ready to heal and always in a clear state of mind, full of wisdom and power.
God searches the hearts and minds, trying our hearts, He is looking for those who will worship Him in Spirit and in Turht, those who released the sound of praise throughout the world.
You are blessed when you believe in the Lord when your hope and confidence is in Jesus. You will be like a tree planted by living waters, that spreads out its roots by the river, you will not see and fear when the heat comes. Jeremiah 17:7 paraphrased
The Precious Power of God was poured out through the blood of Jesus so that every person for the rest of all time, can live in absolute freedom and hope. His blood has the power to affirm our faith, march ahead of us in conquest, restore our identity, release our hearts and minds and heal our bodies, inspire us creatively, engage us in our purpose and comfort our broken hearts. The Power of God is the story of Jesus Christ, and the definition of Power is the influence the Holy Spirit on our lives.
Two confessions will conquer the power of sin in a person's life. The first confession is that Jesus died for our sins and rose again to offer us a new life, and the second confession is that we have indeed sinned. The latter relies on the power of the first confession, yet for many Christians, it remains hard to do.
Because of His resurrection, we are encouraged to come out into the light so that our works may be plainly shown what they are - inspired by God. In this light, there is no condemnation, but many people still choose however to shrink away from the light in the hopes that their deeds will not be exposed. The problem is that we hide our acts, we hide them from the cross, and we experience the consequences of our sins. These consequences manifest in the form of shame, confusion, hopelessness, unfaithfulness, mistrust, stress, fatigue and even death. David said, “When I kept silence, my bones wasted away through my groaning…” Ps 32:2
The only way to be completely free is to step up into the light and become a child of the light. Our faith in the power of the cross has to be accompanied by the belief that our sins are forgiven when they are brought out into the light. We have to freely admit our wrongs to God and the people we have hurt and take responsibility for our actions. These confessions open up the door to complete forgiveness and freedom in Christ, and healthy relationships in our families and at church.
“Here comes the call for the steadfastness of the saints - those who keep God’s commandments and their faith in Jesus Christ.” Rev 14:12
If you are into the sport of running, you will know that the best way to be successful and enjoy the sport is to build on many small successes, until one day you are able to achieve what had previously been impossible to you. Our character is built in the very same way, we have to learn how to overcome challenges to develop our patience and character until we are able to live a life of maturity in Christ. Maturity is the ability to handle any event or experience without letting those experiences deform our character and nature. Find out how to develop your faith and build your character so that you can have major breakthroughs by staying on the course, consistently having victories along the way.
Two years after leaving Egypt, Joshua and Caleb joined ten others on a journey of discovery into the promised land. Their mission was find evidence of a fertile country flowing with milk and honey and report back to camp with the good news that destiny was around the corner. On return however, they were powerless in their efforts to influence a nation not to buy into a bad report and watched in horror as tribe after tribe turned back towards 40 years of fear in the wilderness, choosing slavery over freedom and death before life. Today God is inviting us to escape the fear of failure and disappointment to go on a journey of our own to explore and discover the breadth and width of His love in the land He has promised us.
The only way we can fully comprehend the power of the resurrection of Jesus Christ is when we stand up out of the ditches and the trenches of fear and respond to the call of God that says, “Arise, Shine! For your light has come, and the Glory of the Lord has risen upon you!
God protects us and covers us in songs of praise and shouts of deliverance. We don’t just gather under the shadow of his wings like scared little chickens, but we gather in a safe place where we can enjoy and celebrate God’s presence, so that our vision and faith can be shaped by a revelation of God’s goodness. He’s throwing a party for us!
It’s time to lift our heads and reclaim the dreams that have been lost and forgotten because they seemed to idealistic or difficult. We have a determine purpose to look forward and not backwards, to press on so that we can know and experience the fullness of Heaven here on earth.
The foundation is set & the building is in process & you, a believer, are participating in this building. What is being built? If the construction site could have a board up, it would read:
Construction of The Body of Christ, the Home of the Holy Spirit.
This is not a ‘hit & run’ scenario but a building that continues, a building that will stop only when it reaches the height, the completeness & the fullness of Christ Himself. This done, it will be the most wonderful of all temples ever built.
David desired to build a temple. Solomon built the temple. Building takes place when there is peace & David purpose was to conquer & thus enforce peace. Solomon inherited peace but did he value the victory that David had handed him?
Like showers of rain in the wilderness, God pours out His Spirit of Wisdom on us. For generations people have been afraid of the true and awesome power of God. He is awakening us, reviving our purpose, and restoring our heritage - saying, “Do not be afraid. Don’t run away. Don’t close your ears - my voice is about to shake the earth!”
