Dear Friends of Zimbabwe,

I greatly respect and value your courage through the days that we have been living.  I thank God for you and that you refuse to give up in the face of adversity.  May the favour of our Lord shine upon you! 

God’s glory was meant to be seen upon His people.  We were made as containers of His glory!  God has made a covenant with us through Jesus Christ the righteous.  We were captive, but He set us free through Jesus.  We were formerly enslaved to do the will of the devil and the flesh (which is our selfish desires.)  We hurt people every day, intentionally and unintentionally.  We were destructive in our thoughts, words and actions.  We were corrupted people.  We were people with Adam’s fallen nature.  Now, through Jesus Christ, we have been given extended the hand of grace.  He has commanded us to arise and throw off our robes of unrighteousness and to embrace His righteousness. 

“I took your fallen nature upon Myself, when I died on the cross,” He says, “but My covenant is surpassing all your sins and failures.  If you would, have faith and courage and exchange those things with Me, and I will give you glorious robes of righteousness and truth in the dark world in which you now live.  Live in My promises.  This is the covenant:   I will take your sins and failures and give you Life, and Life abundantly.  Uncloak yourselves of deceit and discouragement.  Arise and Shine, for your light IS come!  No longer should you live under the heel of suffering and pain, I have taken these too upon the cross.  My promise is eternal, and it is of life abundantly.  Come to Me all you who are hurting and wounded and I will give you rest from your labours.  Seek first My kingdom and righteousness and all these other things will be added unto you.

“I give you favour and life abundantly.  This is My covenant and it will never depart from you.  As long as you honour Me and My words, you will abide in the light of My presence.  I give you favour to stand firm in a dark day, and to shine as the lights of My glory to your family and friends.

“Don’t be discouraged.  Arise and shine, and you will see My presence changing the world around you as you live in faith.  Refuse to be discouraged!  Discouragement is the enemy of hope and love.  It is inverted and means you are looking at yourself and your circumstances.  Faith comes from looking at Me and My presence.  How can you be discouraged, when you are gazing into My presence and see all that I Am, and what I Am doing in your lives?  Have faith and you will move the mountains of opposition around you.  Then My glory will be seen in your lives and the truth of My word will now be living in you.” 

A short message for this week, friends.  I believe it is a matter for prayer of the saints.  Lets keep the unity government uplifted.  They are only as strong as our prayers make them.  Pray for support through the power of Jesus Christ.  When you pray in faith, and that faith is in God, you become a nation changer.  Be a nation changer for Zim and realize that your prayers do count.  Jesus said that if you have faith like  grain of a mustard, you will speak to this mountain and it will be removed and cast into the sea.  We are speaking to a mountain in prayer.  We are not to be intimidated by the mountain, but to speak the truth to it, and command it to submit to Christ.  Is there any mountain that the Lord says is too big??? It will never be the case.  You are on the winning side and we are commanded by Christ to excerise our faith and love in this regards.  Take courage and stand in the immovable foundation of Jesus Christ ! King of all kings and Lord of all lords.

I hear the Lord saying: 

“The enemy wants to tear down the peace process and unity process.  Even now, he is planting his plans to bring enmity and strife through the ruling groups.  Mutiny is his plan, and to get the people to revolt.  Pray for peace stability and security.  Pray the Lord will take back the land for His glory (spiritually speaking).”

Read this prayer below, then pray it out loud with strength if you are agreement with it.  It is a confession of our faith and authority in Jesus Christ in Zimbabwe: 

“Lord, we pray for peace in our nation.  We lift it up to You.  We praise and declare you as our Lord.  The First and the Last.  The Author and Finisher!  Please forgive our sins.  We repent for the many sins of our land and for pride and rebellion against You.  We repent and we are sorry. Restore us we pray.  We speak and pray through the name and authority of Jesus Christ and command the powers of darkness to subside and be scattered over our government and peace process.  We bind their work Father, and we release the power of Jesus Christ to create change, peace,holiness and stability within our Powerhouses.  God, You are Lord.  You have given unto us the keys of the kingdom and what we bind on earth will be bound in heaven and what we loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.  We obey you and touch the heart of the Father as we pray this.  We prepare a throne for you Jesus, that you may rule and reign over and among us.  We confess You as Lord of Zimbabwe.   Thank You that a fire goes before You and consumes Your enemies round about!  The enemy may be coming against us 1 way, but you are scattering him 7 ways!!!!  This peace and unity process WILL NOT FAIL.  IT WILL STAND AND BE A TESTIMONY TO THE POWERFUL NAME AND AUTHORITY OF JESUS CHRIST.  We speak Liberation, we speak reconciliation.  We do not look back.  We do not loose heart. We place our hands to the plough and move forward in the face of adversity having great expectation of what You have promised.  We are on the winning side, and we announce to Satan and his minions that he will not win and that his day is DONE.  We glorify You Jesus.  We love You, we adore You and we are thankful that You are our King.  All glory be to Your Name, forever and ever and ever. Amen!”

 Dear Friends,

Greetings in the precious name of Jesus Christ!  We thank God for this week, and for His encouragement to us.  As we look at news and media, it is always easy to be discourged.  There are so many voices speaking in the world, that at times it is very difficult to hear God.  His voice is the only one that really counts.  I feel so encouraged today!  I am so confident in the Lord and in His mighty power.

This week as I was praying for a word to blog this week, I heard God spoke so clearly and consisely.  He is so confident of victory in Zimbabwe that I cannot help feel amazed and bewildered in wondering how He will do it!  I happened to read Isaiah 11 this week.  It talks of the reign of the Messiah.  That will be a glorious kingdom.  Even now, the Lord is preparing the foundation stones for His future kingdom.  His kingdom dwells in us, but is going to start manifesting itself in a political plain throughout the world.  We will see some of it in this time, and ultimately it will be completed when He returns in bodily form to rule and reign out of Jerusalem.  It will be a glorious kindgom!  I cannot wait.  Zimbabwe is no exception.  We will experience that Light too over our land.  God is revealing that He is in the process right now of rebuilding our land.  We may not see it very well with our eyes and ears, but have no fear.  God’s work always begins in the hearts of man, then precipitates out into the physical environment. 

Be blessed this week My friends!  Live in exuberant hope.  Dwell in the word of God (the Bible).  I have started to become more and more consumed in the person of Jesus Christ.  I want to know Jesus.  I want to see Jesus.  I want to know His mind and speak only what I hear Him say.  Take the Word of God, read it aloud and hear it.  I myself have grown to love the book of John more and more.  Initially it was hard to understand, but I have it recorded on media and will play it as I ride to work in the morning.  I will speak it aloud as the recording plays.  You can do this even better just by taking a Bible and reading the word aloud. I literally feel the fire of God as I proclaim the word. I feel that Jesus becomes so alive, just as the Bible says, “the Word became flesh and dwelt among us!”  In the same way, as I speak the scriptures in faith, I feel that those words take on an incredible form to me and I hear the voice of God like a mightly rushing wind.  A voice so full of passion, power and love for His people and the world.  We serve an incredible God.  Know Him and seek to know Him more. 

 ”God, please give me more of you, and grant Me the desire that I will hunger and thirst after you, as a deer pants for the water.  In you is found true life and the water of life. You hold the keys to the kindgom and we embrace You today.  Amen!”

Below are the words the Lord shared with Me today.  Bless His wonderful mighty name!  Of the increase of His government and peace there will be no end!”

  ”The restoring work of change has begun!  There is much to do. I Am moving in the heavenlies and doing a mighty work over the sons and daughters of Zimbabwe.  Many will hear of the work that I Am doing in the country and be amazed.  It shall start at the grass roots and work upwards. I will do things that man thought impossible.  It will be clear that I Am at work and that no hand of man will do it.

“I will renew partnerships that have been broken from old times. I  will restore skills and hard workingness to the workplace.  I will take what has been defrauded from you as a country and restore it again with even greater fullness.  Some have said that the vultures are waiting to collect the final spoil from its decimation.  I Am saying that you will arise and conquer the death that stalks over your nation.  You will capture the voice of the enemy and contain its lies.  You will release a Voice of Hope over this country.  The Voice of Hope is the voice of the children who have food, and who can play happy and healthy. The voice of Hope is the sounds of the men working in the fields and the industries.  It is the sound of the women cooking, because they have food to cook with again.  It is the sound of the young and old praising Me for I will do it in this day!  

“A sound of praise is arising to Me.  For I will conquer every foe in your land.  I will conquering every pestilence.  I will conquer every fear,” says the Lord.  “because greater Am I in you than he that is in the world.  Do not fear what you hear and what you see.  See My son, He did not judge by what He saw or heard.  Rather He judges by the Voice of God, and the Voice of the Holy Spirit.  (see Isaiah 11). Commit judgment to me.  If you embrace the voice of justice, you will not hear clearly My voice in your lives.  My voice is one of truth and righteousness.

“You have said that legs of the country are being cut off.  Do not fear, I will arise and embolden the truth to stand, You will stand and not fall!” says the Lord.  “The enemy means much for harm, but his work will not stand.  In a moment I will clear the table of his projects and establish Mine with a single breath.  The enemy has nothing in Me and of Me.  I will not even use a foundation stone that has belonged to him.  I will start afresh and build a firm lasting foundation back into Zimbabwe.

“Do not continue to point the fingers.  The issues will never be resolved in this way.  All mankind fails dismally compared to My standard.  Stand side by side.  Focus on the future.  Focus on righteousness. Focus on betterment of your fellowman and women.  Encourage each other.  Even the smallest word and prayer are powerfully strong in encouraging your friends and family at this time.

“I have appointed you as children of the light.  Be the light in Zimbabwe.  Be the light without compromise.  Judge your hearts and do not let any false way be found in you.  Bring your hearts into My light and I will do surgery and operate as no surgeon can.  I Am a good Father and know exactly what you need My children.

“I bless you and command you to arise!”

Your God and Father
