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.

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

18 April 2009 has come and the wall is complete! It is so wide and it reaches to the heavens; it is a wall of fire and it testifies of God's glory. On the inside of these walls the Name of Jesus sweetly and swiftly flows like a gentle breeze, over mountains and hills, graciously moving the savannah with its flow; through valleys and rivers, across the plains of the Kalahari and the Karoo.

 

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!

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."

In the Summer of 2004, with the help of some sponsors, evangelist Peter Sekhonyane put up a 300-seater tent to facilitate a 24-hour prayer watch in one of the 20 extensions and outer villages of Orange Farm. For three weeks he intensively trained Christians of all churches on prayer and the principles of 24-hour prayer. After three weeks, he decided to move the tent to the next extension, to repeat the process there. In October 2004 seven of these 24/7 prayer watches were up and running at an average of 15 hours per day. Then they combined efforts to launch a week of real 24-hour prayer.

At the end of the week of combined prayer Peter went to the police service station to ask how it went crime-wise during that week. According to their statistics something strange happened: in seven of the 20 extensions there was nearly no crime - exactly the seven in which 24-7 prayer was going on!>> Read More ... >>>

DURBAN, KWAZULU NATAL >> Read More ... >>>

The city in which I was born, and continue to live, and move, and have my being, is on the east coast of South Africa. It is the most strategic port on the continent, and probably the most strategic in the southern hemisphere.

The Map is of the "Greater Durban Metro" where Amaoti suburb is the dark blue "key" shape. in the light blue rectangle which is magnified below.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Clearly it shows how under evangelise Amaoti is by showing the little number of "permanent church sites" that exist there(2).

See picture below for the enlargement of the light blue rectangle and the same legends used, where the Key shape is the Amaoti suburb.

This can be an important indication of the "spiritual climate" of the township. >> Read More ... >>>
