Vision by Johan Boot  
I was standing in a beautiful garden when the Lord approached me. I saw that He held a sword and a scroll in his hands. "Come, I will show you things I am about to do in the church." I followed Him along a path in the garden.
There was beautiful music and praise throughout the garden. "This is the place of rest in Me. I desire My people to come and experience My rest. For a long time My people have fought the enemy in the flesh with human wisdom
and understanding. You cannot fight the enemy with human understanding, you can only destroy His works by the power of the Spirit in My Name." The peace in the garden surpassed a person's understanding. It seemed to lift you
above every human imaginations and desire. "In this place of rest, you will find the Sword and the Wisdom needed to overcome the plans and strategies of the enemy." I then understood the purpose of the sword and the scroll which the Lord was carrying.

We came to a place where the Lord showed me a spiritual battle. I could see how believers where fighting against the hosts of darkness. They were proclaiming the Word of the Lord, together with the Name and Blood of Christ. I saw how the hosts of wickedness were afraid of these spiritual attacks. Each time a prayer was prayed in the Name of Jesus, light would be released in the direction of the enemy and it would scramble around in fear.
But strangely it did not destroy the enemy. Neither did it have a lasting destructive effect on the demonic forces. It simply upset the enemy's camp, causing disorganisation and fear. I then turned to the Lord for wisdom.

"When fighting against the enemy through human wisdom and understanding, you will see the enemy simply regrouping for a new attack, as soon as the prayer has stopped. You will always be engaging in warfare against the same enemies, without experiencing an overcoming victory. Overcoming victory only comes when I fight for you. . . . Read More ... >>>

Ek druk,stoot en kap ‘n pad oop na my tuisdorp deur huis-en-kindersverpligtinge op vriendinne en manlief af te skuif.Ek gaan, vir die eerste keer in  17 jaar van getroude lewe, vir ‘n week alleen weg.Ek gaan Mam help pak. Haar huis is verkoop, Hallejula ! Nou lê die opgaarsels so dik soos ‘n Famlie Bybel  en wag vir ons. Die memoirs versteek in elke kas en laai en rak is kosbaar want dis immers 3 generasies se lewensgetuienis. Elke keer as ek Mam bel  is sy besig om in die tuin te werk; haar ontvlugting van die pakwerk. Dus gaan ek so bietjie aanwakker.

So ry ek die langpad want die kortpad is onbegaanbaar vanweë padwerke wat halfpad tot stilstand gekom het oor ‘n bakleiery tussen die kontrakteurs en die Provinsiale regering. Ek maak my boksie Smarties en blikkie Ystee oop . . . Read More ... >>>

Even as [in His love] He chose us [actually picked us out for Himself as His own] in Christ before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy (consecrated and set apart for Him) and blameless in His sight, even above reproach, before Him in love.”

Only the eternal, uncreated, omnipotent and omniscient God has the capacity and willingness to declare a thing to be what it is years before it has even come into being. The Seed is God’s inheritance in the form of the prophetic perfect. God speaks of the future as if it were already in the present and declares something complete because it is anchored in the certainty of God’s intention to bring it to fulfillment. . . .

Luke 22:24-29 ²⁴Also a dispute arose among them as to which of them was considered to be greatest. ²⁵Jesus said to them, "The kings of the Gentiles lord it over them; and those who exercise authority over them call themselves Benefactors. ²⁶But you are not to be like that. Instead, the greatest among you should be like the youngest, and the one who rules like the one who serves. . . . Read More ... >>>

Giants are never alone and they are always armed

They posses the land you are about to enter

They are greedy and always want more

They are strong and full of confidence – but when they hear of the victories of Jehovah they become terrified and there hearts melt with fear

But you chosen one - LISTEN - the time is here to cross the Jordan

Hear the voice of the Lord like Joshua and RISE UP

Be strong and very courageous! . . . Read More ... >>>

 "Restoring the Moravian Fire: The Power of Persistent Prayer"

I want to share some of my thoughts as I have had a lot of time alone over these last few weeks due to my recovery time needed from the intense cancer treatment. I have had time to think, ponder, reflect, pray, rest—oh yes, rest. I have had time to evaluate once again what I want to do with my life and how I can make the greatest impact on this generation. . . . Read More ... >>>

I Have this burden on my heart to share some thoughts on a thorny matter.

If I have to give this ‘matter’ a title, it will have to be long title like William Wilberforce’s book:A Practical view of the prevailing religion system of professed Christians in the higher and middle classes in this country, contrasted with Real Christianity’.   My title will be the following: 

A code of conduct as a helpful aid in protecting Real Christians from the sin of adultery / emotional adultery / marital unfaithfulness and other smaller not-easily recognizable sins relating to Real Christian Marriages and  Friendships.

The essence of this matter I cannot put in better words than those of Frank Peretti  in the introduction to his book, ‘The Oath’

Sin is the monster we love to deny. . . . Read More ... >>>

A Conference on Transformational Discipleship for Church Leaders  

Speaker: Dr. U Obed The Apostolic Discipleship Movement    

1. You inwardly celebrate when a colleague or fellow minister falls.

2. Your spirit of competition causes you to inwardly celebrate when other organizations or ministries in your field aren’t doing as well as you.

3. You are more concerned about your local church or organization than the good of the kingdom of God and cultural transformation.

4. You manipulate people to promote yourself and try to make things happen instead of allowing God to open doors and promote you.

5. You look for opportunities to backstab other leaders in your region or field of work.

6. You are driven to succeed to counter your insecurity, poor self-esteem and a sense of insignificance.

7. You thwart the emergence of other strong leaders in your organization. . . . Read More ... >>>

Matthew strategically wrote his gospel account to show how the Jewish leaders rejected Jesus as their Messiah. Their debates with our Lord increased until it reached a climax in the Twelfth Chapter. This was the turning point. In the first eleven chapters, Jesus spoke openly about the Kingdom of God being offered to national Israel. After chapter twelve, however, He only spoke in dark parables. Explaining Himself to His disciples, He quoted the prophesy of Isaiah,

"And in them the prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled, which says: 'Hearing you will hear and shall not understand, and seeing you will see and not perceive; . . . Read More ... >>>
