An encouraging prophetic message for the body of Christ...keep going Saints 🔥 The Lord of hosts is your rearguard.

"On his robe and on his thigh he has this name written: king of kings and lord of lords"...

‭Revelation 6:1-2, 5-6 NIV‬
I watched as the Lamb opened the first of the seven seals. Then I heard one of the four living creatures say in a voice like thunder, “Come!” I looked, and there before me was a white horse! Its rider held a bow, and he was given a crown, and he rode out as a conqueror bent on conquest.

When the Lamb opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, “Come!” I looked, and there before me was a black horse! Its rider was holding a pair of scales in his hand. Then I heard what sounded like a voice among the four living creatures, saying, “Two pounds of wheat for a day’s wages, and six pounds of barley for a day’s wages, and do not damage the oil and the wine!”

‭Revelation 19:11-16 NIV‬
I saw heaven standing open and there before me was a white horse, whose rider is called Faithful and True. With justice he judges and wages war. His eyes are like blazing fire, and on his head are many crowns. He has a name written on him that no one knows but he himself. He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood, and his name is the Word of God. The armies of heaven were following him, riding on white horses and dressed in fine linen, white and clean. Coming out of his mouth is a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations. “He will rule them with an iron scepter.” He treads the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God Almighty...

An encouraging prophetic message for the body of christ...

Please pray for the lad we are picking up from HMP Bristol today. The Father knows his name. It's the Lord way that when people keep crossing your path, he usually has a plan for their life. We've had the clothes we bought him for the last 2 years, now he can finally have them! 😁

Many Prodigals are stuck in the pig pen, crying out for freedom. We, as carriers of his hope and glory, can lead them to the father, who is patiently waiting for them with open arms.





‭Luke 15:20-24 NIV‬
So he got up and went to his father. “But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion for him; he ran to his son, threw his arms around him and kissed him. “The son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.’ “But the father said to his servants, ‘Quick! Bring the best robe and put it on him. Put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet. Bring the fattened calf and kill it. Let’s have a feast and celebrate. For this son of mine was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.’ So they began to celebrate.

Remembering Evangelist Reinhard Bonnke today, on what would have been his 84th birthday...

Somebody said that I would follow Jesus, “with too much devotion”. But who can prove that my coffee is too sweet for me? It is a matter of personal preference. Not so? As for me I cannot get enough of the Lord. “To me He is so wonderful…because He first loved me!”

Salvation is a miracle of God's grace that takes place in our hearts when we believe in Jesus Christ and what he has done for us in his death, Burial and resurrection. It changes us completely from the inside out. It is what Jesus called 'The Gopel of the Kingdom' Matthew 24.14..

- The kingdom has come. Jesus has provided Salvation, and through faith in him we have been saved, our spirits have been born again...

- The kingdom is here. Jesus dwells within us by the power of his holy spirit to effect all the benefits of salvation in our lives. To comfort, help, heal and guide us, and empower unto testify to the world about him. We are being saved as our souls are restored, our minds renewed, and our bodies offered to him as a living sacrifice...

- The kingom is coming, Jesus is returning, physically, to this earth, and time is short. Every eye will see him; every knee will bow and confess that Jesus Chist is lord. We will recieve resurrection bodies, the living and the dead will both be Judged, and we will reign forever with him...

- Christ has died, Christ has Risen, Christ will come again...

Let's look to the end goal, coming together as the body, to reach the world for Christ.. in an hour of political uncertainty, talk of war and financial hardship for the working class, we need laser focus for the Mission ahead. The Lord Jesus is with us, 'I will never leave you or forsake you, lo I am with you always, even to the end of the age'

Jesus said to him, “If you would be perfect, go, sell what you possess and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me
Matthew 19:21

"We need a hymnology in Arabic, a whole range of topical theological works, and an army of controversial tracts" - Douglas Thornton, Missionary to Egypt.

Speaking to Douglas, Mr bayliss, his senior missionary remarked - Thornton, you are different to anyone else I know, you are always looking at the end of things. Most people, myself included find it better to do the next thing.

'The constant inspiration gained by looking at the goal is the chief thing that helps me to persevere'...Douglas Thornton - Missionary in Egypt.

Praise report!! He is Risen...

1 Corinthians 15 3-5

Myself and a small team from Mission24 helped to equip a church this weekend with power Evangelism in Bournville, Birmingham.

We went to the streets and many seeds were sown, people were ministered to and salvations were noted.

At the miracle & healing service, Justin saw 6 respond to the Gospel, many healings and deliverances. One guy called Derick responded to a word of knowledge around abandonment. He was in his 70's, but did not know God as Father. The HS led me to just hold him. He went out in the Spirit and was led through deliverance from spirits of abandonment & rejection. Thank you Jesus.

2 young lads ( both 18) wandered into the meeting, and again, both had words of knowledge around fatherlessness and physical healing. They gave their lives to Jesus with tears flowing. Rachel saw her first deliverance from words of knowledge, the Jesus model M24 teach. 🙌🏼 We give God all the glory.

Rachel & I went into HMP Exeter this afternoon, a little fatigued, but the Holy Spirit strengthened us in prayer before going. We have been praying for open doors into the prisons since last summer.

The chaplain, Leon, was holding a retreat for the guys - 3 years in the making! I gave testimony, a brief Gospel message, and all, but 1 of the 12 guys responded. Please pray for us as we go in to HMP Dartmoor soon.

The harvest is white.. After Jesus sent out the 72.. He saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven. WE have the keys of Authority, Jesus took them back over the weekend! Amen.

The doors have opened!

After much diligent door pressing and prayer, we will be going in to HMP Exeter this coming Sunday as Urban Acts to give testimony and preach the word.

The chaplaincy are holding a retreat day where the lads can spend the day in the Chapel. I'm believing for freedom for these guys. The long term aim is to house, resettle and equip them with life skills, empowering them to become all that they want to be. Mentoring for some, discipleship for others.

At the tent Revival last year I heard clearly from the Holy spirit - "Come blessed of my father" Matthew 25. We were also encouraged by our leaders at M24 to pray in to reaching the prisoners. Please pray for us, and if you would like to support the mission please do get in touch. As you may know, I spent 12 years behind the door of her majesty's Prisons ( Pic of a wing i spent time on ) Houseblock 1B HMP woodhill. So know what it is like to be hopeless, wrote off, scared and in need of a saviour..

Luke 19.10 - Jesus Christ came to seek, save and restore what was lost..

Isaiah 42.7 - To open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the prison,
Those who sit in darkness from the prison house...

Matthew 25 - I was in prison, and you came to me...

Prayer request!

Please lift us up as we go to help serve, equip and train this church..
Really excited to be on mission over the resurrection weekend! Stay tuned for updates and encouragements and Testimony's!

Apostolic Scriptures..

‭Colossians 4:3-4 Divine appointments.
Pray for us, too, that God will give us many opportunities to speak about his mysterious plan concerning Christ. That is why I am here in chains. Pray that I will proclaim this message as clearly as I should.

‭Ephesians 6:19-20 Boldness...
And pray for me, too. Ask God to give me the right words so I can boldly explain God’s mysterious plan that the Good News is for Jews and Gentiles alike. I am in chains now, still preaching this message as God’s ambassador. So pray that I will keep on speaking boldly for him, as I should.

‭Acts of the Apostles 4:29-30
And now, O Lord, hear their threats, and give us, your servants, great boldness in preaching your word. Stretch out your hand with healing power; may miraculous signs and wonders be done through the name of your holy servant Jesus.”

‭Colossians 1:11
Power & Authority
We also pray that you will be strengthened with all his glorious power so you will have all the endurance and patience you need. May you be filled with joy.

‭Luke 10:19 NLT‬
Look, I have given you authority over all the power of the enemy, and you can walk among snakes and scorpions and crush them. Nothing will injure you.

If you are in the West Midlands please feel free to come along, bringing friends or family that need healing, freedom.

Victorious living...

Keep your eyes on the Lord, encourage the saints - we can so easily take our eyes off of seeking his face and end up accusing the saints...

Encouragement is a powerful weapon in the armoury of the believer. It breaks resentments, creates connection and puts Satan and his lies in their place.
Amen.

I want to encourage you today to be grateful. Gratitude is another overlooked weapon we can wield in the 'take every thought captive' 2 corinthians 10.5 Victorious living mantra we can make our own.

Encourage someone you struggle to get on with, watch what happens. Going low and remaining humble is powerful; its christlikeness.

Romans 8.37 tells us..
Despite all these things, victory is ours through christ!! Claim it, and rest in it.

Hosanna in the highest!

This coming palm Sunday we remember the Lord Jesus's triumphant entry in to Jerusalem - let us reflect on the stories of Redemption, lives changed, the weak made strong, the foolish made wise by the transforming power of the Cross.

When I reflect on what he has done for myself and countless others, I am and will be eternally grateful..John3.16

The light shines in the darkness, and it can not overcome it..John 1.5

‭Mark 11:7-10 NKJV‬
Then they brought the c**t to Jesus and threw their clothes on it, and He sat on it. And many spread their clothes on the road, and others cut down leafy branches from the trees and spread them on the road. Then those who went before and those who followed cried out, saying: “Hosanna! ‘Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!’ Blessed is the kingdom of our father David that comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!”

Praise him for his life..that the word became flesh and dwelt amoung us..John1.1

The ground has been scouted out, the harvest is ripe! Join us either in person or in the spirit in prayer as we proclaim the Gospel in this beautiful city. Look out for a Large black Gazebo.

Last month we led groups of young men to christ, the people of God's own country are so open to the Gospel.

‭II Kings‬ ‭13:18‭-‬19‬ ‭NKJV‬
Then he said, “Take the arrows”; so he took them. And he said to the king of Israel, “Strike the ground”; so he struck three times, and stopped. And the man of God was angry with him, and said, “You should have struck five or six times; “Now pick up the other arrows,” said Elisha. He picked them up. Then he said to the king of Israel, “Strike the ground.”

Let's go! No holding back.
