God's Plan for your life
Good works are the death of vision. Not that there is anything wrong with doing good. but the devils plan is, if he can’t get you into sin, is to get you so busy doing good things that you miss the fullness of God’s plan for your life.
We serve an amazing God who has placed not a God sized hole in your heart, but a God sized vision; Only He can bring can bring to pass.
It is in the pursuit of God’s plan for your life that you truly begin to enter in to the joy of the Lord.
As you reach out in love to the lost, the broken, the needy Jesus steps in transforming your little, into more than enough.
I believe there is a rise in the prophetic movement, where we are no longer happy to do the miracles of Jesus without the Heart of Jesus. We have begun to go to new levels of maturity seeking to walk in the abundant life of Holiness expressing not just the power of God but the character of Jesus.
As you pursue intimacy with The Father; out of the overflow of a changed life; you enter into the abundant miracle working life Jesus came to bring.
As the sons and daughters of God arise robed in His righteousness we will be like the river in Ezekiel bringing life everywhere we go. We will become that fountain of everlasting life calling that which is not, that which is in the natural past to live again.
God has chosen you to be a river of life in the wilderness of humanity.
Preparing for School
You are His secret weapon.
We often sing the song you are the only Jesus some will ever see. So true. Some will never set foot in the church but they are beside you in the work place. They are next to you in line at the supermarket. The are in the car puling in next to you at the petrol station.
You are their hope, their encounter for eternal life.
You have a unique purpose a unique plan. As you spend time before the King of Kings He will unfold the way, His way for you to walk in.

The administration of Divine Grace
The still small voice, the wisdom beyond eternity has from the moment of your creation been calling your name.
"My beloved, come away with me".
He has welcomed you into the inner circle of His love. In this place of perfect acceptance He unfolds His battle plane for your life. He unveils to you the mystery of His ever flowing love towards you. In this absolutely free expression of His loving kindness, He draws you into the way of abundant living; a life imparted as your focus shifts till He is all you see.
The purpose of the fore-ordination is adoption. Placing those born of God into their proper position. Jesus’ calling is to restore you to your place seated with Him. You have been given the Holy Spirit, your seal of present and future authenticity. You are his living inheritance purposed built for kingdom significance.
It delights the Father to have chosen you as His living testimony, calling you to be a carrier of resurrection power. There are no limits on the greatness of his work in you, as you testify to the finished work of the cross.
From His perspective you are beautiful, fit and acceptable for every good work. Clothed with dignity, given all authority. He declares in you his kindness, transforming an enemy of the cross into a living sacrifice fit and acceptable for every good work. A vessel boasting of the redemption found only in his Son.
Let today be the day that you draw unto Him as never before. As you lose yourself in him those around you will smell the sweet fragrance of His tender mercies. He has secrets, reserved for his friends, for those who would dare to press in, for those who will lean on His breast and hear the heartbeat of heaven.
Beloved this is your season. This is your destiny.

Ask
Prayer filled with doubt are requests for refusal, but this is not so for those born from above. For the seeds of life emended within the renewed nature, bring forth the best things. For these are our Fathers thoughts and His thoughts are not alien to us. For He has given us the mind of Him, who was and is the express image of the Father.
The desires of the gracious are after the most excellent things; things pure and peaceable, courageous and elevating. They long for God’s glory and for this reason their desires spring from higher motives than those which inflame the un-renewed mind.
Heavenly desires birthed of the Spirit, find fullness only when expressed in fervent prayer. For the Godly one will knock till the gates are opened, will not relent till the desire asked is received at the hand of God. This one knows that as she waits upon the Lord, she nor her family shall not want any good thing. For before the asking daughter, all the promises of God are rich and inexhaustible.
If we will but ask He will always give us more than we ask. The sick of the palsy asked to be healed, Jesus response was not to just do what was asked, but forgave the mans sins. The thief on the cross said “Lord remember me when thou comes into thy kingdom. Jesus said “Today shalt thou be with me in paradise”.
Get into the position of an asker and you shall have what you never asked for and never thought to receive. God is willing to give us infinitely more than we ask.
All heaven lies before the grasp of the one that would dare to say “I will not rise till I have my hearts desire” For this daughter knows that true prayer is not a mere mental exercise, nor a vocal performance but is spiritual communion. It is oneness with the Father. To this one He will not withhold any good thing.
Psalm 2:8 Ask of Me, and I will surely give the nations as Your inheritance, And the very ends of the earth as Your possession.

The Lights Are On
When I pulled into my driveway last night I noticed my 21yr old had left the lights of her car on.
I drew this matter to my daughters attention to be told that she was aware of the situation.
She said she couldn't turn her lights off.
She called RACQ. Two patrols had advised her that she needed to take her car to an auto electrician. One of the patrols had been very helpful and loosened one of the battery terminals. He advised her to disconnect the battery terminal so she could start the car in the morning. However when she connected the terminal she couldn't loosen it and so she resigned herself to having to call another patrol in the morning to start the car.
I pick up my tool box and flashlight and headed towards the car; knowing that disconnecting a battery terminal was within even my limited mechanical knowledge.
When I opened the car door to pull the bonnet release I noticed a switch with a little half light symbol on it.
Thinking I had nothing to loose I pressed the switch. To my daughters delight the lights went out.
She cancelled the appointment at the auto electrician.
