RIBBONS, BUTTONS AND BOWS!

Over the last twenty four hours, I keep seeing the most gorgeous colourful ribbons, bows and beautiful buttons.  Earlier today whilst sharing this with a friend, I sensed the Lord saying that a further upgrade is imminent!   One of my thoughts was, in times gone by only ladies with considerable means, would have worn dresses, jackets, hats and coats with beautiful buttons and bows upon them. But, Our Father, chooses for us, ALL of us, to receive these ribbons, buttons and bows upon our clothing.   And not just the ladies!  He is clothing us, in the most gorgeous apparel.

Then tonight, I'm drawn to read the book of Esther, where she was prepared and made ready to meet her future husband,  King Ahasuerus.  We read in the fifth chapter, that Esther put on her royal apparel and stood in the inner court of the King's palace, there the King notices her; holds out the golden scepter that was in his hand; he is so pleased to see her and goes on to offer her half of his kingdom!

I'm sensing somewhere in all this, ENLARGEMENT is happening!  We have, and are, being prepared for 'such a time as this' just as Esther was, in order to bring about the plans and purposes of heaven.  The transference of wealth is coming and His sons and daughters will not be dressed as paupers scratching around to make ends meet!
Personally, this past week I have seen so many confirming signs and wonders as Father brings about His glorious plans and presence into the hearts of His children.

For those becoming a bit weary in all this process, chin up!  Be open to what He says and how He is leading.  Maybe spend some extra time with Him this week, deepening intimacy......
AND.....enjoy the upgrade of ribbons, bows and buttons!
For some, things will be coming to a close, a buttoning up.  Others, an un buttoning, a release into the NEW that He has been speaking to you about.
I also see many have been prepared to meet with prominent people, both in governmental realms and those with celebrity status too.  Trust Him to fill your mouth with the right things to say at the right time.  He has promised that.  What a thrill to see people receiving the revelation of Father's love and knowing that wonderful assurance that they are truly loved 💕

PALM SUNDAY - THE DONKEYS


Today is Palm Sunday.  Many Churches, Schools and gatherings celebrate this day by re-enacting the time when Jesus rode on a donkey into Jerusalem.   Mark 11
Thinking about that this morning, I was reminded of something I shared at a Prophetic day last year.

Taken from 1 Samuel 9
A man named Kish had lost his donkeys and sent his son, Saul with a servant, to find them.  They travelled three days without finding them and Saul suggests to his servant, about heading back home.
Thinking that his Father would be more concerned about where they are than about the donkeys!

In verse 5 we read the servant says: 'Not so fast, there's a Holy man in this town.  He carries a lot of weight around here.  What he says is always right on the mark.  Maybe he can tell us where to go.'
Saul replies that he has nothing to give to this Holy man but the servant happened to have a silver coin! (Love God's 'happenings')  So, Saul and the servant enter the city; ask a group of women where the Seer is and then in verse 14 we read that they bump into one another!

THE DAY BEFORE God had confided in Samuel, the seer, telling him that 'This time tomorrow I will send you a man from the land of Benjamin, and you shall anoint him Commander over my people Israel, that he may save My people from the hand of the Philistines; for I have looked upon my people, because their cry has come to me.'
When Samuel saw Saul, the Lord said to him, 'There he is, the man of whom I spoke to you. This one shall reign over my people.'
Then.....I love verse 19, Samuel says, 'I'm the Seer, come with me to the Shrine and I will TELL YOU WHATS ON YOUR MIND and send you on your way.  And by the way, YOUR LOST DONKEYS, the ones you have been looking for the last three days, they have been found, so don't worry about them.  At this moment, Israels future is in your hands!'

This morning, my thoughts were Father KNOWS everything that we are concerned about.  He KNOWS all our needs, our anxieties, when we fret!  (Just keeping it real!) and when we are so busy, busy, busy looking for 'LOST DONKEYS' when all the while HE has a much larger plan for us!

Last year when I was sharing this, God showed me that we will see large numbers of Prophetic
Hubs, like the Guild of Prophets mentioned in the book of Samuel where the sons/daughters of God will be sought out, releasing the words, plans and strategies of God to all those that are hungry and particularly to those that have 'lost their way.'

I'm off to walk through those gates I mentioned yesterday.  And remember, that even if we've wandered off looking for the donkeys, in His great love for us, He will see to it that we continually 'stumble' across His divine connections and will keep us on track as He prepares us for what is coming! 💕 💕

GATEWAYS - THE WAY IS OPEN

Whilst having a morning with the Lord yesterday, well, that was my intention, a guy knocked the door to inform me that he would be working in the field the other side of our garage and replacing a style with a new gate.  In fact, he would be erecting FIVE gates across the fields opening up a walking route that should be there.  Interesting.....

Immediately, I sensed the Lord saying that many have felt enclosed, (one interpretation for a gate is: 'an opening permitting passage through an enclosure') even trapped, physically, financially and/or spiritually.  But He, God, is opening up the way.  He is erecting NEW GATES, bringing release, into NEW things!  Isaiah 43 18/19

I could see new properties, buildings, established buildings being enlarged and land being added to land.  All speaks of an enlargement coming! 
For here, FIVE gates being erected speaks of a much greater opening that brings an anointing of ease across the land.  An ease with Him being known.  Or as we might say, heaven invading the earth.  This Year I have already sensed many shifts as I have prayed and interceded over the nations.

 As I was journalling this last night, I was seeing PATHWAYS being opened up across the UK and other nations.  He is SO making a way for His sons and daughters 💕  this also reminded me of a vision I received whilst in Canada in 2010:
I could see golden lines across the nations.  From Canada, the UK, Czech Republic and many other nations, connecting with one another.  At first, I thought they were train tracks, or road ways then realised these were God's PATHWAYS, some are actual roadways and some are connections.  In the vision the lines were almost like a web.  Connecting.....connecting.....connecting bringing together His plans and purposes.  I remember feeling a deep assurance that all is well.  He has got this!  And we weren't to fret or worry (Philippians 4) or to be afraid, rather to LISTEN, to SEE and then to ACT on what He says, on what He shows us and to remain in His peace 💕

WE HAVE THE KEYS!

Last Friday I returned from shopping; drank my free coffee in the jeep and carried a few bags to my front door.  As I turned the key, as usual, the door wouldn't unlock!  I pit everything on the ground and took the key out and tried again.  For the next twenty minutes, I tried everything!?!  Including praying over it, of course.  I decided to collect all the shopping and carried it to the front door.

So.....here I am on a Friday afternoon at the only entrance to the house with ALL my shopping on the ground, the keys in my hand, a door in front of me...that for no reason, right now, has decided not to unlock!
In my life, 'nothing just happens' I believe ALL things happen for a reason after all, it is God who is with me, He is my life.  I thought for a bit.....I have the key - this is the door that it unlocks - so the mechanism in the lock is not lining up.  The frozen bits of shopping are beginning to defrost and I need this door to open.  The thought came to me, SHOUT FREEDOM to the LOCK!

I took a step back, looked at the door and said, 'Here we go door, you ARE coming open!'  Then I shouted 'In the name of Jesus I speak FREEDOM to this lock!'  Turned the key and it opened!  Hallelujah! What a relief!
I carried all the bags of shopping in and decided to spray my cooking oil ( my useful little tool for anything that squeaks!)  into the lock.
Writing this up in my journal later that day, I realised, yet again, the importance of the prayer/words for the moment.  I HAD prayed, rebuked, blessed the door, the lock, the key!?!  I HAD tried leaning in on the door, pulling it out, handle up, handle down!  All of that.  Then, when I stopped all my trying.....heavens instruction came amd the door opened.
I sensed that many of us have felt frustrated as we are holding the keys, and some believing they haven't got the right key,  the door is in front of us but we have seemed unable to go through.

Then when I thought to oil it, I sensed that God was saying that many have old dreams and visions that have become 'rusty' they've believed that maybe that wasn't God and they have become old memories.  No...oil the dreams, speak to the dry bones, bring them back to pray before God and see what happens.  He has given us the keys.....lets use them!

A NEW SEASON - A NEW JACKET

At the beginning of this month I was speaking at one of my Heart to Heart weekends.  On the Sunday morning, I was awake early when the Lord spoke to me from the book of Samuel. I shared this with the women during the morning.
1 Samuel 2:19
As most of us know, Hannah, was barren and desperately wanted a child.  She poured her heart out to God and asked for a son.  God responded to her need and Hannah gave birth to a boy, Samuel.  Later, as a child, Samuel was 'given to the Lord' and ministered in the temple with Eli the priest.
Every year at the yearly sacrifice, Hannah, with her husband Elkanah, would visit Samuel and give him a new jacket, a new coat, which she had made for him.
As I was reading this, Holy Spirit said, 'It is time for a NEW Jacket.  I am releasing new jackets!  Many have outgrown their jackets, they no longer fit!  See, I am giving new jackets so that each one can grow, stretch and enlarge into the NEW that I am bringing.'

I saw many jackets that had been made with several colours of material, rather like Jacobs coat of many colours.   Some with blobs of colour, which to me, (all the different colours) spoke of a multifaceted flow.
Close friends will know that I am not a lover of labels, but I am a lover of God and love to see whatever heaven is releasing, flowing through His sons and daughters.  I could see many prophesying, evangelising, healing the sick etc whilst wearing their new jackets.  It was fun to watch as heaven was breaking out everywhere through His family, His children.
So....lets put on these bigger jackets and see heaven flow!

Any feedback on this is very welcome 😊

MARCH 2015

The last week of February I had been praying about the coming month and gaining some insights and then on the 27th I received a dream.  In the dream I had met with three friends and we were sitting at a table.  One friend is from Scotland (the weather always seems colder up North, than down South) but all three women were wearing Spring/Summer clothes and I was wearing a bobbly thick jumper!
I was dressed for Winter; they were dressed for Summer.
When I awoke relecting on my dream, God said 'The winter has passed. Read Song of Soloman 2'.

'Rise up, my love, my fair one,
And come away,
For lo, the winter is past,
The rain is over and gone,
The flowers appear on the earth;
The time of singing has come,
And the voice of the turtle dove is heard in our land.
The fig tree puts forth her green figs,
And the vines with the tender grapes, give a good smell.
Rise up, my love, my fair one,
And come away.'

Naturally, we are now in this season of spring, where the winter has passed and flowers are appearing on the earth.  But I sensed for many who have been struggling with health, with finance, with direction, that that season has come to an end.  It is time to 'rise up', it is time to sing, as this scripture says, sing of His love, sing of His deliverance, sing of His goodness.  It is time 💕

In a practical response to this, I decided to wear a summer dress for the next couple of days as an outward appearance of what is happening in the spirit realm, as we sing of His deliverances 💕
Also, as my Womens Weekend is coming up next weekend, we have that time to 'come away' without interruption or distractions.  To give HIM our whole time and attention.  To 'come away'. 💕




From Glory to Glory

Unfortunately I am unable to add pictures to this blog (Tim?) but anyone who sees my Facebook page may have seen a picture of a beautiful eagle, stood on Ice, looking at his own reflection.   It's a gorgeous picture! At the same time I stumbled across this pic, I was re-reading my journal and saw that in September 2014 I'd written that the Hebrew new year, 5775 had begun.  Immediately I saw a MIRROR in the centre of the numbers, they are a reflection 57 75.  I sensed the Holy Spirit saying that the glory, the presence of God will be 'MIRRORED' in us.  And that our lives are MIRRORS of what we believe by how we live, act, love, give, our attitudes etc

2 Corinthians 3:18
'But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a MIRROR the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory by the spirit of the Lord.'  
Many of us have been in a season of heart searching, questioning and reflecting on what God has said  and what we currently see.  Waiting, believing, trusting and resting to see the manifestations of His promises, coming about.
All the time He has been at work in us, preparing our hearts for what is to come and training our arms for battle.  Psalm 18:34.
As Jesus only did what He saw His Father doing, John 5:19 then do we think that He wants anything less from us?  Walking in such Intimacy, that we hear the whispers of His heart to ours and lovingly respond to that.  Our strength comes from walking in that wonderful intimacy with Him.  What an honour and an amazing privilege that is. 💕
