God answers prayer!
Today I found out why the call it good news! it is because it's a straight from the halls of heaven to earth today! that's why they do not call it good teaching or good history
I am, so to speak, laying out a fleece.
I know the importance of sharing all with my friends, and supporters, and family, as to what the next steps are in my rehabilitation. This is why I find the first step, telling you how things are going, to be the most important.
While I have been in hospital, my motivation for doing things has somewhat deteriorated, before hand I had no problem being motivated to goto Israel, and the things that are attached to that.
That is why I am making the first step living by faith.
The only thing I can think of which comes to living like this, has been in my constant travelling around this country, relying on God to provide for my stay. I am excited to see that it is being taken up again.
That said, I have come to the realization that this is not the sole first point to be thinking about. What I have need to think about is the extraordinary calling God has placed on my life to prepare the way for the coming Kingdom of Jesus
This is somewhat inspired in the fact I am growing in this area. There is a scripture in Titus which says to the effect that I will grow as I share what I have with others. So that's what I'm doing here!
"Arise and shine, for your light has come" (Isaiah 60:1) The light has been realized and specifically has come to guide you into all truth. He commands you to give all your worship and love to Him

Here I come!
This startles me to say, I am a man of the Heart! I live whole-heartedly!
What does that mean? it means the word is my life, and His judgments, what are His judgments? They are just this, God's righteous law. God says numerous times in the Prophets "Judgment is coming!" the totally startling truth is that they never prepared. You read it! They harden their hearts, and they say in their hearts "That day will never come!" or "I will be fine in that day!" As if you could resist God.
This is obvious in the prophets when they make statements like "I seek to hide my counsel from God" or even more blatant, my idols will deliver me! You read it allowed and are amazed at finding that the Proud are going to RAGE, the IDOL worshippers will be ASHAMED, every thought of man will be humbled, Do I go on? the thoughts of man's hearts will turn to murder, their rebellion will reach to Heaven, and the outcry will come to God's ears.
I looked and I was dumb-struck. What he's saying is this: I am going to reward the thoughts of man's hearts, I am going to bring out their hidden thoughts, and it will startle them, without them even realizing it! What do I mean by that? I mean just that He brings rage out of man's pride just to wipe the earth clean of them! He makes the mouths of men vomit filth out just so that He can judge, convict and sentence them.
If this is not in your theology then you have misunderstood what God was saying. There is coming a Kingdom in which the inhabitants of the earth are subjected to conquering, and conquest. God's judgment will pour out on this kingdom and they will plunge into darkness. I want to show you the light at the end of the tunnel. Jesus Christ! he wants your heart!
What he has shown me he will show to others! what makes me significant, the only reason! is because I say it! Listen! I am His messenger!

What are the objects of your captivity?
When you are led away into exile, into captivity, it is easy to tell - by your clothes, by your appearance.
We have all carried around in ourselves the objects of our captivity, we have all turned aside to the right and to the left - while living here on earth we have been tempted by idols, done what we have wanted,
And now that God has led us away into captivity, the very things that He spoke against are the things that we carry around.
This is the idea behind the verse in Galatians "when you were children you were enslaved to things that were by nature not gods"
He says to us, RISE UP, throw off your prison garments, your captive clothes, and SIT DOWN, next to me. I will cover you in beautiful brooches, and in garments of righteousness, I will wed myself to You.
What makes us go back to the things that were captivity to us? it is because we have not given our hearts to Him, it is because the Spirit of God is grieved by our behaviors, and will not speak to us.
If only you knew the things that he will speak to you, the names by which He will call you!
I have only to give myself whole-heartedly to Him, and approach Him, "my Lord" and His comfort will come, and His truth you will know.
But you will say "What does He judge me for? I have committed unrighteousness, but He will forgive me. How can he turn around and judge me?"
But in that way you speak as one who does not know the severity of all that you have done, thought, or spoken on this earth.
It must be that He is just, and that your enslavement is the reason that you put on clothes that were not becoming of you. You put on things that made you beautiful on the outside but which corrupted your heart. All that you see around you burns up but you say "I will be fine in that day!"

Forerunner following the Leader go
Let me tell you how God has been moving on my heart today.
I will be moving back to YWAM out in Oxford. This sounds very simple, but as I have just shared, this is because while i've been at home, God has been testing my heart, to see where my heart lies. I give glory to God for bringing me back to YWAM.
I've been reading the book of Revelation, in which one of the predominant themes is prophecy. Today I was thinking about it all and recalled a TV program I watched yesterday. It is called "Undercover Boss" - of the importance, to not only say what you do, but do what you do, starting TODAY. Starting today, I am going to be taken an active role in the active prophesying that I've been involved in. I will be taking an active role in giving a conditional prophecy to anyone - Just as Jesus did when He prophesied over Jerusalem in Matthew 23
What kind of a leadership! This is cutting edge!
I am taking a day of fasting every week, where I am also wanting others to join in the practice. Not because of super spirituality but because it's a command, and because I want to love Him more, and I'm willing.
All these behaviors are the behaviors of a Son, because I am willing to learn and put my hand to the plow - I know that I will stuff up, what a word, that He will bring it to pass!

Behold, the Lamb of God!
After 500 years of silence, it was over!
Exploding onto the scene was a man, they came out to Him from everywhere to be baptized by Him in the Jordan.
The chief priests and scribes sent a group to inspect Him, and to find out who He is.
To which he replied,
I am, 'the voice of one crying
in the wilderness:
prepare a highway for God
make straight His paths in the wilderness'
It was finally over, the people knew that Messiah was coming, because here he was,
or was he? "No, I am not the Messiah, I am not Elijah, I am not the Prophet"
but that meant, who are you? why do you baptize?
Actually, the one that I want to focus on is not John, but on whom he proclaims. What erupts in my heart, and causes me to listen will be who He proclaims. John called himself, "the friend of the Bridegroom" that means, He gladly listened for the voice of the Bridegroom.
it was in this Spirit that he spoke, "He must increase, and I must decrease" - his whole ministry, all that he did, everything that He said, was for the sake of Him who He proclaims, and seeing He comes, the natural consequence will be that everything that He has come for in this time will disappear, and the one who will get the glory will be the one whom He was sent for.
Go find the love of the Bridegroom!
