The hard hand of religion.

I sat listening deeply to the brokenness and hurting hearts of some of my beautiful Godchildren and watched tears of violation roll down there cheeks as they shared there disillusionment with an establishment what I would term as a religious cult situtated in New South Wales on the south coast not to far from Sydney. This had been there world since childhood , and just like an untimely abortion they were booted out of there nurtured church and dishonoured before the congregation by the then Minister of the Church. There friends they had grown up with were told not to fellowship with them.

The Parents are real family to me I have known for many many years ,were publicly humiliated and lied about in the name of religion. Note: I did not say Jesus I said religion. That sort of behaviour and hatred and mischief was around when Jesus was falsely tried and crucified. In a world where children need to be protected, and supported in there faith, and learning Christ values from the adults in the churches they attend the Religious church is continuing with its assult on the fragile, wether they be children or adults. In my case its my God children. Yes I absolutely love this family, And I am pretty cranky at the moment, but again I am taking this to the Lord in Prayer. I have been addressing this subject of Religious Spirits in past posts these are area's that I have had to personally deal with. As many of you know my background I came from was of abuse and the Lord healed me.But Again I am confronted with abuse of the most demeaning manner to minors. Ironically, the head mischief maker is like an untamed black widow spider who has been spreading her venhom to the loose ears of religious church's enticing them to shut the doors to this beautiful family and to prevent them
from attending there Churches. Which many have. Is it necessary for you to know the label of the Church? No to be honest with you its not. Its a religious spirit that shows its face in many churches and has destroyed many many lives. Its puppets exhibit the fruits of destructive and controlling, greedy and manipulative and liars and thieves. A religious spirit's purpose is to disarm the believer to the truth of the Gospel. If thats you, please consider the ways of God and repent and get back to the Jesus before its to late. Just remember one very important thing! Jesus set your free from bondage and sin for his Glory alone not for the glory of the religious spirit. Run from the religious spirit, and flee from people who continue to exhibit this. You cannot afford them in your life as a christian. Run and hold onto the Lord Jesus Christ for he is Holy and he is righteousness for eternity. Don't just sit down, and back down. Stand firm in the faith. Stand for righteousness. Stand with people who are doing what Jesus said for us todo. Pray for the sick, set the captives free in Jesus name. Testify and glorify the Lord. Run to people who are free and absolutely exude the liberty of freedom that eminates from a heart that has a tangible thankfulness and joy of salvation and who delights in the Lord. Listen to Curry Blake and get real with destiny and the Word. Read the pioneers of faiths testimony,eg William Booth, Charles Finney, search them out. True testimonies of men and women who are for runners in faith who are alight to show us how to keep pressing in there. Who were not daunted by oppressive religious spirits but heard the call of God and pushed forward for the Glory of the Lord alone.

front page from my website

May my words exhort and encourage you as we seek a deeper level of communion with the Lord. The heart that recognizes and wholly honours the Living God is extremely precious and sought after by the Father. Every part of our life is able to reflect our heart, whether it be one of faith and praise to the Lord, one of fear and doubt, one that is hungry to grow, teachable and eager to learn and to know the Lord, eager to be changed by Him, a heart that is generous in its capacity to give, one that is also willing to receive. May we choose to live lives that daily give Him glory.
Music is one of the most amazing emotional and physical vehicles that we have on this earth. True worship leaders are like diamonds extremely rare and those who have submitted their talents and wills to the Lord for His glory are like well cut diamonds of great worth. They are crafted in the Masters hands for His glory alone.
I have an extreme conviction in my spirit about the heart of worship Leaders. They either lead people to uplift the Lord in the midst of the Congregation through the confession of love and faith, through songs of worship, or they are thieves and deceivers stealing this glory from the Lord. The position to lead others into this presence of the Lord is not to be taken lightly. The responsibility is weighty before God. Many covet and gain position without confirming that the appointment was God given.
We as humans know exactly what we like that suits our flesh nature. Pride becomes the greatest stumbling block. But consider this. The chief musician who was cast out of heaven to this earth that we live on was Lucifer. He is expert at sound and emotional manipulation and programming through music on this Earth. His authority was stripped from him by our King through the cross, and though satan masterfully deceives and exploits multitudes he has no dominion over you as you present yourself a living sacrifice, and offering of worship to the Lord of All.
Never be confused. Jesus is Lord of all.
Jesus is the New sound of Music, which very few people can hear because there flesh is caught up in the midst of the new generation sound of worship. God warned that there would be those who would “honor Me with their lips..But their hearts are far from Me.” (ref. )
Jesus revealed “that the Father seeks those who will worship him in spirit and in truth.”
(ref. )
Emotionalism and legalism, bad doctrine, spiritual immaturity, have become hallmarks of this brand of worship. The modern worshipper vibrates to a different drum.
True worship is birthed through the heart of an individual that is repentant of sin, dependent upon the Lord and incredibly thankful one who is determined to change for the glory of the Lord. When this kind of heart is heard through an instrument or a microphone then the Lord Himself gains access to His people in a greater way. This is after all, the entire purpose for the worship leader. Worship is that amazing place of intimacy and exchange.
There are no pop stars in heaven; there are servants to the Most High God Our Heavenly Father. Contrary to current trend and popular belief talent or skill is not the first criteria for selection as a leader of worship. Remember, it is man that looks on the outward, but God looks on the heart.
I exhort you to study the lives of William and Catherine Booth, Finney and John G. Lake and even Charles Parnham and there are many more who were extreme pioneers of the faith in generations past who come from many nations. Their testimonies inspire you to walk more closely to the Lord and to be more yielded to Him. They developed fully committed hearts.
These saints were forged through fire and faithfulness desiring only to up lift the name of the Lord in the hearts of the lost. The songs that were written and sung then were birthed through trials that tested their faith and proved the faithfulness of a loving God to their hearts. Rarely was a song sung that would focus upon the human condition apart from the saving work of Calvary. The worship and magnification of the Lord was paramount to building faith, sustaining hope, focussing the heart, and working consecration. “I must have Jesus!” was the cry of the hungry heart. Vanity gave way to humility and adoration of the King of Glory.
To keep ourselves honest and vessels of honour we must always consider the words we sing in worship. The Lord has told us that we will give an account of every idle word spoken. What we sing and apply our faith to has powerful results to lead and influence others so we must make sure that our hearts are established in the Word of God and we are in agreement with His Holy Spirit when we open our mouths.
Sadly, I have been to all too many churches influenced by worship leaders who lead them to sing songs that are actually in opposition to the truth of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The latest sound and image and look has taken precedence over nurturing hearts that can carry His presence and welcome His glory and hear His voice. This is to our shame Church. Even the Gospel from the so called ‘modern’ church is watered down.
Sin is Sin. There is no ‘I’ factor in worship. It is either all for Jesus or all for satan. “We cannot serve two masters.” Jesus said (ref. ).The result of this influence is a destabilising of the spiritual life. The pathway to intimacy with Christ as a body of believers gets clouded over and restricted. It is dangerous to remove the standards set in the word or to blur the boundaries. People are then more easily led into bondage. Worship is a unique time where the Lord has access to free souls from weights and bondages. Shouldn’t we then allow the Lord who is Lord access to do as He wills? I believe the Lord is calling us back to that wonderful place where our hearts are once again enthralled with Him, our eyes opened lives consecrated, souls yielded, and joy full!
Worship Leaders can only lead people to the Lord in the measure they have determined to surrender to him. It is vital to guard and to check your motivation. Are you yielded to the will of the Lord..is your desire to give Him the reins or is there a measure of need in you that desires the attention the power the accolades the control? In what measure am I surrendered today? This must be the compass question before you open your mouth of take your instrument in hand. This requires discipline and sensitivity and a dying to ‘self’ so that the Lord’s grace is what you rely upon, and the results will be as the Lord determines. Because ‘self’ is allowed to rule the will, few worship leaders take you past the door step into the inner sanctuary. Do not allow yourself to be named among them. Talent does not equal maturity and the Gifts of the Spirit being in operation do not equal strong character in the life. Consider the Church of Corinth in the scriptures. They lacked in no spiritual gift, yet morality and holiness were hard to find. It is absolutely imperative as leaders, as believers who honour the Lord, to grow up! We must grow up spiritually and in the knowledge of the Lord. As leaders of worship we must never allow pride to convince us that we are expert or that we have arrived. On the contrary, the more that we know Him, the more that he reveals to our hearts that there is so very much more to know. This place of humility and awe is the counter weight for our conscience. Stir up your hunger for the Lord. Allow Him to continue His deep work in your life and let the songs flow from the revelation that He brings to you from the midst of this fire. He is with us to lead us. His own Holy Spirit is our teacher and He shall correct us if there be any of us at any time do err.
Let’s keep our hearts soft easily pricked, staying alert that the enemy of the cross and of Our king take no place and gain no advantage over us, thereby stumbling many. The very gates of hell shall not prevail against the Church built upon the rock of the revelation of Jesus the Christ!
I trust this has encouraged and challenged you to be excellent. May the Lord Jesus be glorified in and through your life!
It is time for us to enter in to the abundant life that He has purchased by His blood.

Getting real with Jesus

I have been totally revolutionised by the simplicity and teaching of one particular great brother of extreme faith. Who has through his ability to only speak truth through the word with no expletives or long winded sermons. Had been instrumental in me taking a serious look at what I was when I accepted Christ as my personal Saviour over 26 years ago to who I am today. I was absolutely screwed in the head with an emotional faith, even though I had been raised to be Christ centered in all things I learnt to wait on the Lord in the secret place. Somehow between my talent and my faith I started listening to preachers and beliefs that I knew I could hear the small sweet of the Holyspirit warning me. I still listened and after years of being bombarded by the next new thing I was absolutely in a place of apathetic head change. I have since listening and sitting under the ministry of Reverend Curry Blake of John G Lake Ministries, I am constantly in a place of repentance. I had to apologize to the Holyspirit for being so rude and ignoring the warning signals because it did not suit my undead flesh. The truth sets the captives free, Its not about my ministry or his calling ect. We were all set free from sin and forgiven and healed that we would go out and do the same to others.
Give them the oportunity to know this wonderful beautiful loving saviour that we all know. There is a very very fine line between heaven and hell , Christians are warrior called into battle with the King of Kings. You have to fight to make the right decisions according to what the bible teaches. If you want to walk in obedience follow the word. Dont feed the habits that tie you down. Repent and make peace with the Lord and ask forgiveness where you have wronged another. I would encourage you to take time and listen to Reverend Curry I have opened a page on
the front of Prayer and Testimony Room where you can link directly to his site.

I have such an urgency in my heart and spirit to motivate you all towards the word of God to be hearers and doers not just listening and procrastinating.

You dont know how long you have on this earth, once its over there is no turning back.
Either you believe what Jesus said or you dont.
If sin is evident in your life be man/or women enough to reach out for help and get prayed through, seek out the Lord through his word until you know and have found him.

Dont fool yourself into an emotional mental foofoo state of mind, thinking it will be alright. It wont. Let me say again the defineing line between heaven and hell is
one breath away. Where are your feet planted right now? Is your hard heart from
situations, break the chains and be desperate enough to seek after the lord independantly. The word of God is truth, Jesus does not lie . He is faithful.

Do what I have done if you are in this place, repent and break the religious spirit that stalks to decieve the multitudes.

A letter to a Friend-

What is happening with you brother dear, I have been having you on my heart alot, and praying for you. Please forgive the delayin calling you. Have been going through lots of growing pains much of which I could do with out. But have decided to add it as another page in my already bulging testimony book to help others. I have been doing lots of repenting and renouncing false teachings from my head lol that I knew was incorrect because of the decerning and warning of the Holyspirit but still put up with it as the next new thing. I realize I am fiery for a reason and the clearer my head is becoming the more evident how fine the line is between heaven and hell. The word of God is powerful we just need to learn how to weild it like a sword with faith and release it to do its work. A brother had this amazing vision months back that really stuck to my heart and it is so true of the church today. Its sick. The Lord gave Peter a vision.......... Jesus was standing Next to this glorious box with his hands out stretched and out of this box was coming brilliance and glory ect , millions of people were flocking to the glory and few went to Jesus. I made a commit to the Lord Jesus with a clear head, and again I have returned deeper to the word of GOd and getting a clear head. William Booth had it right so did Finney and Wesley and Pranham and John G Lake. oh guess what? theres another new bible out for women its called the babe bible. More liars and money changers in the kingdom of thieves. I stick to the King james because it belongs to the Lord. Every other version people get paid for copywrite they are the thieves. The most evident of spiritual thieves is and I am not saying who it is. Two people added a verse to Amazing Grace- and get paid for it. The are the big thieves adding a verse to someone else's testimony. And I do not trust a word they say now. Its been going on for years this worldly thievery in the church. This modern day thievery is comon practice by many leading worship leaders or super stars adding a verse to someones song and being paid for it. One thing I know of the Lord as You do. Jesus word is common sense its got nothing to do with emotionalism. Its black and white, I remember Aunt Ella a beautiful Aboriginal women of God who is now with the Lord said at a conference in queensland one time.This was before new age Worldly music became the big claw that it is today, She had a vision of a giant serpent entering the church in Australia weaving its way from the back of the church going over the chairs under the chairs and wrapping its self around the pulpit hissing at the congregation as it did so. Well its a true vision. This is all documented on film. If you think I am kind of cranky, You are right. Our fore fathers with mine included fought for this country as yours did in England for independence and for the USA and for there love of God. The foundation of Hope was built apon the rock of there faith They had a respect and reverence for the King of Kings that is not evident in our generation. If it is its minute. People have more respect for bowing at the feet of sinners and trumped up trolley dolleys proclaiming to love the Lord who in essence have there own selfish self centered agendas.and welcome satanic prophetic words to tickle there ears and selfish egos. Repentance of sin is rarely preached and sadly the modern church dont sing songs about the blood or repentence like our fore fathers did. Its all I orientated. I am off work now completely and I challenged to my heart God is re shaping my head and heart. we allow so much into our ears and yet we hear the still voice of the Holyspirit giving us the warning signals and have been guilty of not turning away and over the years there has been a pile of junk loaded up in our heads and we have become subsurvient to these words. That we can no longer afford. Its either the Word of God in its entirety of its not. We are ultimately are the ones who need to make the choice. Either the Word of God in our lives is true or its not. Choose this day whom you serve. Listen to Andy Walmac and Curry Blake and David Wilkerson
on line and many others I cannot recall just now, but they are trail blazers they are generals of faith through the Word of God. The modern church has not trained people to be free in Jesus and independant in the word but controll with prophesy and manipulation its friend is money.
