Hello one and all. So sorry that I have not written in such a long while.
Where has 2011 gone to? Into the distant past would probably be the answer many would give.
Yes its only weeks away before 2011 is over But let us not rush off into 2012 yet, we still have time to end this year well. There is nothing worse than wishing life away.
Maybe it would be good to reflect over the past 12months and just see what all has taken place and the many things we can be grateful for as well as the laughs we have had in this season.
The title of this post is 'Coming out of hybernation' now does that mean I have been in a deep sleep? no let me assure you, definately not but when you are working hard on one area other areas sometimes suffer, that in my case being my blog writting. Sorry guys. I will try be more diligent.
Lionel and I have had a full year of many great things and the hand of God has been amazing upon our lives and the lives of our family and the congregation. We now have 4 beautiful grand daughters the oldest being 7yrs and the youngest one nearly 4 months, how fabulous is that. This has also been the year of Gods grace as Lionel had a silent heart attack and God brought him through and he is doing very well now.
We realy appreciate life when that life is under threat.
I have done 2 trips to Ireland this year and have seen Gods hand move amazingly in many lives and the Holy Spirit has been poured out in so many places. I love South Africa and I love Ireland. I am so aware that the nations are poised for the reviving breathe of God and my hearts cry is for the supernatural working of God in and through the people of God to be evident in everyday life.
Dont cut short now.... pressure must not push you back but rather press you more into Jesus the author and finisher of our faith.
So what all have you encountered this year? pressure and bruising?maybe but I am sure also the goodness of God. Dont listen to the doubt peddlars and the negative report of the newspapers but rather believe the Lords report. He has begun a good work in us and He will take us through into the place of living in His glory. We are not objects of His wrath, we are the apple of His eye, His beloved bride as we make ourselves ready. 2011 is the year of establishment and thats why its been tough because God is establishing us in the mature anointing so that we will know His ways in 2012 as we come into His governmental rule.
Do not faint and do not pull back, the best is yet to come and the Kingdom is at hand. We who were not a people have become a people and we who felt like orphans are His sons ans daughters. Walk in His fullness. take hold of this season. Live in the present furture of God. You will increase in Glory because He has promised you all things pertaining to life and life in abundance. Sing a new song. Shout aloud. Our God reigns in all the earth. Blessings on you all.
Keep the faith.
Rose.

Chatter.
Good morning one and all. Here we are one third into June already. How crazy is that!
How time has flown. it seems like just the other day we were all debating about the soccer world cup and now its in the distant past. The worl cup was not just about soccer though, it was a rebranding of the nation.
For anyone who doesnt know there were some very negative statements put out there about our nation to try and persuade people not to come to South Africa for the soccer world cup. The people that did come, were told that they need to be very vigilent with their possessions and need to get private security as its not a safe place but after the visitors arriving here they found out that this was not true and even sent messages back to their homes letting family and friends know its a safe and beautiful place.
The fan walk in Cape Town was certainly a highlight and I heard a news reporter on one of our local radio programmes sharing that a visitor had said this was by far the best world cup he had ever been to and the people on the fan walk were not only friendly but he had been invited into the homes of Capetonians for meals and he was impressed that we have trained up our children in the word of God and pray over our meals. How fabulous is that!
Let your light so shine that it will make a way for those around you to find the Way of Life.
Be blessed as the weekend unfolds and know Christ in you is the hope of glory.
As Graham Cooke says (a british prophet living in the States) God loves you whether you change or not. He loves you full stop.
Till next tim

THE DAY OF HIS VISITATION.
Hello all my Blog followers. Trust you are well. Im sure you are wrapping up warmer as the weather gets cooler and cooler. Yes, it looks like winter has arrived whether we are ready or not. I sometimes want to be in denial and try get by in summer clothing but it is short lived and I dive back into my wardrobe for something more suitable.
As the season changes so we too adjust to the new season and before long all the past seasons outfits will be packed away until summer comes around once again.
In the Spirit we also have to adjust our lives according to the Spirit. We need to be led by the Spirit and not the lusts of the flesh. The flesh wants to respond to the things of easy gratification and instant answers but the way of the Spirit is to beable to deny the carnal dictates and to follow after the leading of the HolySpirit. The Holy Spirit leads us into truth and He dirrects us to the will of the Father therefore anything less than truth is not of the Spirit but of the carnal nature.
This is a day of visitation and the time of the Supernatural workings of our God. He who began a good work in us will complete that work in us as we allow the Holy Spirit access to our lives.
So let us make ourselves ready and invite the Holy Spirit to teach us the ways of the Spirit.
The word of God says in Jeremiah, Call unto Me and I will answer you and show you great and mighty things. How awesome is that. As we call out for the visitation of God, He promises to show us things that we have not known up until now. Thats the very Father coming to us His children and opening His ways to us in power and might. The Word of God also says, we have not because we do not ask and if we ask the Father anything in Jesus name He will give it to us. Again this is awesome. Do you see it..... We are designed and purposed for the Father to visit us and to speak to us and to show us those things that He wants to reveal to us His children. We are not walking in the dark. We are children of the Light and He reveals to us the ways of truth therefore no man can decieve us as we call unto the Father.
Let us continue to seek the Father and allow the Holy Spirit to lead us into truth. No man comes to the Father other than through the Son Jesus Christ. Father, Son and Holy Spirit bear witness with your spirit that you are saved from sin, forgiven,washed in the blood, filled with the Spirit, equipped and called for a destiny and sure future. Dont get distracted. Dont let the enemy shipwreck you. Hold fast to your calling. Christ in you is the hope of Glory. This is a day of His visitation may your response be Yes Lord!
I trust that you are wrapped in the love of the Father today as you read this knowing that your future is in His hands and that the love of God will never leave you. He who began that good work in you will complete it untill the day of Jesus Christ.
Gods richest blessings now and always

SHIFT.
Hello all you wonderful people. Some of you must think I have dropped of the planet as I havnt blogged for a loooong time. Sorry. It is not easy writting a whole article on my Blackberry and Im so blessed as my wonderful generous huband has given me a laptop and so I am hoping it will get better.
Today I want to talk about shift. Shift is very different to change. Change is what happens when we decide that we no longer want to live a particular way so we embark on a new life style of living by different rules and attitudes as we adjust our learnt ot taught patterns. This is not neccesarily bad but if we are not very disciplined before we know it we can slip back or get frustrated and throw in the towel. On the other hand its good to strive for change as we are not to allow life to shape us as we are called to be self controlled and live by the fruits of the Spirit and not entertain the lusts of the flesh.
most people think the lusts of the flesh are sexual sins but the lusts of the flesh are all those things that are at war with our God nature.
Shift comes from God and as we surrender our lives we will arise to life in Christ. Let us not cry out for change for change in itself comes around again and again in cycles but lets rather call out to God for Him to shift us into our destiny in Him. This is the season of God shifting his people into position to be effective in our lives and call in God. Its the goodness and kindess of God to bring us into our inheritence and release us to walk into those plans and purposes He has ordained for His children.
I want to encourage you to call out to God to shift you into His new season as we are entering into an end time anointing and the supernatural works of our God.. You will be so excited as you realize that you are on time with our God and its his good pleasure to position you for mighty exploits.
Wow! we are such a blessed people. Our God is for us and not against us. The grace of God surrounds us and He rejoices over us with singing. Songs in the day and songs in the night.
May you find yourself in the present place in the call of God and walk free of the lusts of the flesh and hunger after more of the Holy Spirit. If God be for us who can be against us.
Stay strong and be encouraged that you are in the plan and pupose of God as H shifts you into position and you bring glory to His name by living life full of Him, spilling over and overflowing wherever you go. Go for it.

Sustain.
Hello everyone. I am so sorry that I have been a bit slow in writting in the last while.
My time of ministry in Dulin was so special and the Holy spirit broke out in a tremendous way.
Ireland is a beautiful nation of people under the hand of God. In the 6years that I have been visiting Dublin and the surrounding area I can only but say Wow God because Dublin and the church and friends there have crept so deeply into my heart. My cry before God for Ireland is the same as my cry before God for South Africa and that is for God to pour out His Holy Spirit.
This is such a awesome time to be alive and moving with what God is doing in the earth. Yes there is a great shaking and yet in the midst of the shaking the Holy Spirit is moving and the Church of the Living God is advancing and growing and the bride is getting herself ready.
Just before leaving for Dublin several people prayed for me and gave me propetic words and scriptures of encouragement. one friend prayed that God would sustain in as I go. The next day I got a phone call from this same friend to say she thought it was such a simple pray but went to look in the dictionery what this word means and out of that God opened up this little word and Ican see its a huge word. Once we had finished our conversation I went to the word of god and the word sustain unfolded even more.
To Hold Up. Ps 139v8 -10 If I ascend into heaven, You are there, If I make my bed in hell behold You are there. If I take the wings of the morning and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea even there Your hand shall lead me and Your right hand shall hold me.
To Keep From Fainting/ Falling. Is 40v30 Even youths shall faint and be weary and young men shall utterly fall but those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength They shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint.
To Supply with Provision and Favour. Phil 4v18 Paul says "Indeed I have all and aound. I am full, having recieved from Epaphroditus the things which were sent from you, a sweet smelling aroma, an acceptable sacrifice.
To Bare Up against enemy attack. Ps 8v1 Oh Lord our Lord how excellent is your name in all the earth You who set your glory above the heavens out of the mouth of babes and infants You have ordained strength because of Your enemies that You may silence the enemy and the avenger.
What a awesome God. He sustains us.
May we continue to walk in the sustaining love of God as we await His outpoured Glory to cover the earth at this time in history. He is God.
Till next time keep worshipping Him.
