(Sunday: 24th February 2008– First Meeting)

- Had a picture when our plane was landing at the airport. Just as the airplane touched the ground new shoots popped out where there was just barrenness/ dryness. Bursting forth of shoots. Growth, heavy laden with leaves and fruit. God told me, “You are going to a house that I want to lay heavily with fruit

- For a long time prophets have been prophesying, “God is going to do a new thing”. But now we are in this new thing! The new thing is here! You are a people of the next season. There is a revival sweeping through the world - a new movement. It must not be a singular revival but a constant state of revival!

- We need to bring revival wherever we go and whomever we touch. We are called to go into the darkness to be a light. We need to sing in the new dawn!

- God is marrying His cry with our cry. He wants to partner with us.

- We are like a match that needs to be struck and start a fire. It starts with one little spark. Fires leave change whenever it goes. We need to set ourselves alight and let the world see us burn for Jesus, without knowing that they will spontaneously combust.

- There is baggage and wineskins that need to be left behind as they are not for this next season. We need to see what we need for this next season.

- God wants to bring a shaking with His Spirit, where all that is natural will be shaken out for the supernatural. Everything that is natural that is man made, He is going to blow through. He is going to shake individually and corporately. We need to be ready and say God come & shake me. I am ready for this revival, I am ready for you to move in my nation. God I am ready. You know Charles Finney who used walk in a room and people would be touched just by him walking in the room. You carry that same anointing. You carry that same fire. It is time for you to start believing the power of God in you. God wants to bring heaven in this place. Where is heaven? Jesus is in heaven. Where is Jesus? He is in us - therefore heaven is in us. That means there is life here, peace, security, healing here, deliverance here. Everything that is in heaven is here. God wants to light that fire, spark that flame. So that you go out here knowing that you are going to breathe this fire everywhere you go. God wants to impart something to you. He doesn’t just want you to leave here saying, “I have a word to sustain me for the week”. He wants to take you out a different way, with a fire, so that you know you have had a touch from heaven.

- In this place He is going to raise up a river, springs of living water pouring out of you, coming out of your innermost being. Every one of you. Some of us have damned up the rivers, allowed things to block them. God is saying I want to raise up a city, raise up a river here. A place where all the springs come together and make a mighty river. I want unblock the wells. I want to remove the things that have caused the river to be blocked down. People will come onto the property and find life at the river. They will be touched by the River of life. We command in the name of Jesus that the veils will be removed from their eyes. As they step foot onto the property a touch of heaven will enter their soul. Its time for you to walk around your boundary. It’s time for you to mark out your boundary and claim heaven in this place, claim this place as an open heaven, a touch of heaven. He wants us to touch the boundary lines of our property but He also wants us to cross boundaries and take territory. Jesus crossed over so many boundaries. The Boundary-Crosser is resident on the inside of us. Crossing over the boundaries of finances, religion and tradition. Cross over cultural boundaries, age and gender.

- We need to sound the trumpet. It is a gathering call, a warring call. Sound the trumpet so that generations may come together. In this new move I am bringing, the young and the old will walk together - for this is another boundary that will be crossed. Its time to cross boundaries- you need to name your boundary. If you don’t identify it you will never step over it. We need to start praying that God will give us practical things to do to cross these boundaries. The Lord is so clear- “Every place your foot treads I WILL give it to you!” So come on… identify your boundaries.

- We can go to this nation and that nation, but someone needs to be raised up in this nation! We need to be the New South Africa

- God wants us to recognise where we have make an idol of something, where we have become religious about things without even realising it. He wants to open our eyes.

- We have to believe that God is going to do something mighty, we need to raise our expectations. God wants to ask you, “What expectation do you come with?”

- The Lord showed me this: that He would give you angelic assistants, it’s not only what you are doing in the natural but God will send assistants. I saw troops of angels coming in with army clothing, ready to assist you in the battle that is raging. There is a battle raging for this land. “For I am calling you my people to come up to a higher level. I am calling you to stand for me, to know the anointing that is on the inside of you. I am calling you to step into this new anointing. I am calling you to raise the banner, take up the fight in the heavenly realms”. That the spiritual realm will be ruled. The Lord says that there are things that have been locked up until this time and I saw how an angel came and began unlocking. For some of you there have been dreams and hopes that have been locked up and you feel as if they are never going to get released. And these angels came and began to unlock and say be free , He is unlocking the dreams, unlocking the vision. Not only am I setting you free but the Spirit is coming and blowing again to equip you and refresh you that you can go and take the vision.

- Know that in my shaking in my revival all things are going to come up- they are not only going to be good things they are also going to be tough things, because in the revival that carnality is exposed and the Lord is saying “ Be Ready to see all things!”. Have I not told you that when the harvest comes the wheat and the tares some up together. Be ready and prepares to del with the tares and the wheat says the Lord. Do not be afraid, do not be entrenched when the Wind is blowing – what some people do is that they hang on for safety & they dig their heels in, and they just hang on to what they got. The Lord says lay yourself open, lay yourself bare and allow my wind to blow through you, because that which cannot be shaken will that which remains, and what cannot be shaken is the Christ Himself, is the Kingdom, and the ruler of the Kingdom is Christ himself. So you have nothing to fear, nothing to hang on to that is of any worth or value – so open yourselves. Do not entrench yourself but embrace the Wind of the Spirit . Say “Spirit blow through me”

- The way to deal with the tares is to deal with the wheat. Not take them out. God removes the tares. The way to be an army is to focus on the house where He dwells in, with His Bride.

(Centurion Meeting – 24th February 2008)

Sandra Dufty:

The Lord says, “ I want you to know that I have heard your cry for the fire. Have I not already sent my fire. What I want you to do is to ignite that flame inside of you and stop quenching the flame. And as you ignite that flame and let the fire grow inside of you so will a fire come up from earth and a fire down from heaven, because have I not told you says the Lord that it is when heaven & earth work together that My Kingdom is extended and My Kingdom come? Now come on my people I have given you My Spirit, I have put my fire in you already, ignite that flame inside of you & stop saying “I don’t have it”. You have it says the Lord.

Some of you are saying God you need to give each one of us a word & God says I am coming to give each one of you a Word. If you will open your ears & listen, my word to you is this, “ I love you I love you I love you. You are sufficient in Me. You have enough in me says the Lord, your weakness is wiped out as you step into me says the Lord. There are no more blockages that will keep you trapped says the Lord. I have removed them. It’s time for you to walk with Me. You are delivered, set free, there is nothing more that can keep you bound., unless you choose to be bound. Its time to unwrap yourself of the things that have held you bound. Remember when Lazarus came out of the tomb- he had to take off the grave clothes. Some of us have been walking around in grave clothes, but God is saying I have set you free, I have wiped out your history I have wiped out all those things are negative before you. I have wiped out all the things that disqualify you. It’s time for you to set yourself free, doesn’t the Word of God say shake those things off you. You are not going to take the land if you are dwelling in your history, your hurt. The Lord is saying step with me and take off those grave clothes. No more shyness, inferiority. In Him we are enough.

For I want you to know says the Lord that have I not set you free so that you can set other free? How can you set others free when you are still bound? How can you lay hands on the sick when you are walking in sickness? I am calling you to rise to another level, to step into a newness, a freshness, a new hope in me says the Lord. There is nothing about you that disqualifies you – I love you. I have called you, I have put my Spirit upon you, I have equipped you. I have given you everything that it takes now come on. Step with me, Step with me!

You ask for boldness. How much more do you need, I have vanquished the enemy, made an open display of him. Am I not resident on the inside of you- the Lion of the tribe of Judah? There is Holy Ghost boldness to be released in you says the Lord, that will cause you to speak His words, bring deliverance. Some of you say that you don’t have the words to say, you don’t know what to say and God says He has already put the words in your mouth- you need to speak it! Speak it with hope & expectation. For to long we have been a people who have not raised our expectations. God is saying it’s a new season, a new day- raise your expectation.

“What is your expectation for harvest?” says the Lord. What is your expectation for revival? Don’t sit in judgment and say “will this really happen? We will sit back and see if it will happen”. For God says if you are truly hungry you will not sit back in judgement but you will come and feast at what God is pouring out. What is doing will not look like it has in the past, but it will not contradict the Word of God, His life, His nature & character. It’s going to come in a pattern and a form that you may have not expected it. How hungry are you says the Lord? Are you willing to feast on things that do not look familiar? For I have spread a table for you in the midst of your enemies. Are you only going to stick to the food that you know or are to going to taste of the delicacies that I have laid before you? Begin to feast with me. I want you to step outside of your comfort zones. As you feast so you will grow and mature in me. For I am coming back for a Bride without spot or wrinkle. Am I not working in you to produce a mature Bride says the Lord. A bride that will laugh at the future. Many of us are afraid of the future asking “What does the future hold?”
Well the Bride of Christ can laugh at the future, just as the word says Christ sits in the heavens and laughs. Why? Because He is the victorious one. You are part of the bride, He loves you with an everlasting love, He will never turn away from you.

You are just about to enter into a week of prayer and God wants to encounter you like you have never been encountered before. There is a cry in you but there is a cry in God. He is waiting for the sons of God to take their place. We were born for such a time as this. What time a time to be alive when He is winding things up, there is an acceleration in the Spirit. Because of the new things I am doing, I need to come and encounter you again. God is preparing to come an encounter you. So as you gather to pray this week, expect encounters with the Lord. Moses has a fresh encounter with God at the burning bush so he was ready to go and speak to Pharaoh and lead the children of Israel into the land.

The world is waiting to see the Father. How are they going to see the Father? Through you. Jesus showed us who the Father was, but He had to have an encounter with God before He went out and ministered – when he was baptised the heavens opened and the Father spoke to Him. There are some upper room encounters waiting for you, to our down fire. He says, ”I am ready. Are you ready?” I need to encounter you afresh for the new things I am going to do. I need to revive you. Elijah had an upper room encounter and resurrection took place. How many of us need resurrection? We need to live in resurrection, having a resurrection breath every moment, everyday.

The Lord says I am truly set apart for my purposes, I am totally given to my purpose and my plan and my purpose involves you says the Lord. Filling out your destiny, filling out my destiny. For I have called you to fulfill my destiny.

Some of you are saying God I need a word. Gods says I need a word from your lips I need you to speak my word. You say God help me help me, but God says -Seek first the Kingdom of God and all these things shall be added. Will you be my mouthpiece? Will you be my word in the place that I have placed you?
