Facilitating a Paradigm Shift from Religion to the Kingdom of God

Helping God's people transition from the Christian religion to a dynamic relationship with Jesus Christ - advancing His kingdom 24/7 as a lifestyle in every area of life.

Helping people change the way they view and experience reality is no easy task. Some call it a "paradigm shift". Thousands of stories describe just how difficult it is to get a large segment of the population to see and do things differently. >> Read More ... >>>

Let my prayer be set before You as incense,

The lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice. - Psalm 141:2

Have you ever wondered about the scriptural tie between incense and prayer? Many of us weren't raised in cultures that use incense on a regular basis, and in fact, for some of us, the only reference point we have for the word might be the thin, rectangular packages we could buy at the local food co-op. When God says that our prayers "rise before Him like incense," many of us have no idea what that actually means. >> Read More ... >>>

Why would God refer to our prayers this way?

By Francis Frangipane www.frangipane.org

As a speaker in citywide and regional prayer conferences, I am often asked to unmask the "spiritual power" opposing the body of Christ in the conference region. City leaders and intercessors have even asked if I knew the "name" of the principle spirit that is resisting the church in their area.

"Do you want to know the name of the most powerful spirit opposing most Christians?" I ask. Eager faces respond affirmatively. >> Read More ... >>>

"It's Yahweh."

My questioners, who suddenly look like a tree full of owls, are always bewildered by my answer. They are sure I misunderstood their question. Then, I explain. I remind them that, according to the Scriptures, "God is opposed to the proud, but gives grace to the humble" (James 4:6). So, if we are divided in our hearts from other churches, if we instinctively look down on other Christians or if we are at all self-promoting in attitude, we are walking in pride. As such, the Spirit that stands to resist our endeavors is not demonic; it's God.

The Room

17-year-old Brian Moore had only a short time to write something for a class.  The subject was what Heaven was like.  "I wowed 'em," he later told his father, Bruce.  "It's a killer.  It's the bomb.  It's the best thing I ever wrote."

 It also was the last.  Brian's parents had forgotten about the essay when a cousin found it while cleaning out the teenager's locker at Teary Valley High School. >> Read More ... >>>

This story started many years ago in a Baptist church in Bournemouth, England. One night the pastor, Dr. Francis Dixon asked a man named Peter to share his testimony. >> Read More ... >>>

Peter got up and said, "This is how I was saved. I was in the Royal Navy. I was walking down George Street in Sydney, Australia and out of nowhere stepped a gentleman and he said to me, 'excuse me, sir, but could I ask you a question? I hope that it won't offend you, but if you were to die today, where would you spend eternity? The Bible says that it will either be in heaven or in hell. Would you think about that, please? Thank you. God bless you!" Then the man left. I had never been confronted with that question - I couldn't get it out of my mind. I got back to England and met someone who took me to a mission and that's where I became a Christian".

“At night my soul longs for You,
Indeed, my spirit within me seeks You diligently;
For when the earth experiences Your judgments
The inhabitants of the world learn righteousness” (Isa. 26:9).

Fear Among the Nations
There is trepidation among the nations, and indeed there should be. Political leaders strike poses of confidence, yet express anxious whispers and dread when they are alone:

What is happening in our world? Will it get worse?

No one really knows the outcome of this time. But here is what is occurring worldwide: Over the past year the veil of deceit and subterfuge that hid the corruption in many nations is being lifted. God is exposing corruption, whether it is rooted in Wall Street or among politicians or leaders in the church. >> Read More ... >>>

The sense of privilege, that one can live without accountability either to God or to the law of man, is being judged by the Lord. There are no special people who are exempt.

	Intro Die storie agter die storie. And then out of the Daniel Conf flows Firecloud

It glides over farms and small settlements and then manoeuvres into towns and cities. it enters houses and office parks; boardrooms and government buildings...even Parliament...like a cloud of fire it covers South Africa!  

Some people fall to their knees proclaiming His Lordship, others watch in awe as He settles Himself in, and there are those that try to avoid His Name...it is not possible...wherever you run, He will find you and you will be covered by His Name.

The gentle breeze of His Name as it moves grows louder and more forceful till eventually it thunders and resounds within the walls...JESUS, JESUS, JESUS...!!! >> Read More ... >>>

The Vision God gave was to rebuild broken walls and gates in South Africa and proclaim the Lordship of Christ over South Africa and praying that the nation will return to God.  The Purpose was to intercede for the nation of South Africa; repenting of our iniquity and sin and ask God to restore and heal our nation.

Extract from Blog:
Why Durban as the point of closure? I have often wondered why myself, and on Saturday all this came together.  Previously Durban was named Port Natal. 'Natal' refers to birth and as the biggest harbour in Africa, with the port basin in a womb-like form and the closure facility at the office of Customs & Excise - the gate keeper to the port - it was all very significant in reflecting the birth of something new and huge. God does not go small!

We invite the local church and community to join millions of Christians around the world in 10 Days of continuous prayer and intercession for the spiritual transformation of our communities, cities and nations.  During these ten days of 24/7 prayer, the focus will be on humbling ourselves before God, dedicating our lives and communities to Him, and declaring His Word and purpose over our cities and nations. People will gather in all kinds of venues and homes, at different times of the day, connecting in various ways of 24/7 prayer.

“And when they had prayed, the place where they were assembled together was shaken;

and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and they spoke the word of God with boldness.”

(Acts 4:31)

This time of continuous prayer from Ascension Day (21^st) will conclude with the Global Day of Prayer on 31 May as a day of prayer and repentance.

"There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. For fear has to do with punishment, and whoever fears has not been perfected in love" (I Jn. 4:18, ESV).

Most of our fears are a consequence of not knowing God well enough. Fear comes from uncertainty. If we are confident, secure, and certain about who we are in Christ, and who Christ is in us, then we won't be worried about what the devil might do, and we won't be worried about what other people might do.

Now folks, that's a lot off your plate. Imagine what a relief it would be to just live your life in friendship with God, unaffected by worries and fears about the devil, unmoved by worries and fears about other people - what they might think, what they might say, what they might do. >> Read More ... >>>

Warrior Bride-( with Sword of God's Word )

Extract: Two statements that Francis Frangipane makes on praying people, hit hard:

(1) "The reality God has planned will always manifest first in the prayer life of His intercessors.

(2) "Prayer warriors are the most frightening, powerful, demon-chasing, world-moving beings on earth."

Now, LET's also GO PRAY TOGETHER at the Global Day of Prayer on 31 ^st of May! >> Read More ... >>>

As I pray for South Africa I am lifted up into the heavenly realms and have an aerial view over the land. I can see gold veins under the earth and these seem to be mines and gold veins that are, as yet, untapped. .....

... I believe God is going to show Joseph-anointed investors how to tap into the hidden veins that I am seeing in this vision to release resources for the Kingdom. The outpouring of God’s glory that is coming to South Africa is going to have both spiritual and physical blessings. >> Read More ... >>>

REVIVAL IN THE TOWNSHIPS – GANG LEADERS COMING TO CHRIST (End of extract  - see original   below)

There are three key transitions that all of us must make in order to realize our full created purpose. Consider each of these transitions and where you may be located in the process. Then, think about what you must believe and do in order to move into the next phase of life.

These three transitions are...

• Moving from Survival to Security: This is achieved by what you GAIN.

• Moving from Security to Success: This is possible by discovering your GIFTS.

• Moving from Success to Significance: This is measured by what you GIVE.

*Written By Regina Brett, 90 years old.*

To celebrate growing older, I once wrote the 45 lessons life taught me.
It is the most-requested column I've ever written. My odometer rolled over to 90 in August, so here goes:

1. Life isn't fair, but it's still good
2. When in doubt, just take the next small step.
3. Life is too short to waste time hating anyone.
4. Don't take yourself so seriously. No one else does.
5. Pay off your credit cards every month.
6. You don't have to win every argument. Agree to disagree.
7. Cry with someone. It's more healing than crying alone. >> Read More ... >>>

The gift is in us, but we have the responsibility to stir it up. The apostle Paul wrote to Timothy, "For this reason I remind you to fan into flame the gift of God, which is in you" (2 Timothy 1:6).

 In the New King James Version of the Bible, the verse is translated, "Stir up the gift of God." 

The gift is not something we learn.

It is something God gave us.

It is something we need to discover and then stir up.

No one else can activate your gift for you.

You have to do it yourself.  >> Read More ... >>>

You stir up your gift by developing, refining, enhancing, and using it.

Comment: This prophetic word does NOT refer to the coming election (2009), it refers to an election in the future, as prophecied by other prophets. The Lords purpose with this word is to encourage >> Read More ... >>>

At the time of writing this, I have been busy preparing for the Easter weekends ministry in Ulundi. I have been trying to get into studying and all and just feel the Lord getting my attention for the weekend.
Once again I hear HIS voice urging me to rely and relax with HIM; sometimes with all the preperation we do; we 'prep' the Lord right out of the picture when HE desires for us to think out of the box.
WOW! what a challenge again and I cry from my heart for HIS mind regarding what HE wants to do. Part of the challenge is to get out of the way so that HIS purposes can be accomplished as we patiently submit to HIS leading and guidance >> Read More ... >>>
