Jayde’s favourite place…Back on the floor in God‘s presence

I’ve posted these photos not to show case my daughter, Jayde. I’ve posted them to create an awareness amongst believers with regard to God’s presence, and the youth that are hungry for Him.

Jayde has her own “little ministry” that she heads up called “FYI presents…” which is a video devotional for Believers. Originally started for teenagers, it has now become popular across all age groups, averaging 1500 – 2500 views a week on various social networks, (including Youtube, Godtube, Inchristnetwork and Inchrist) depending on how many videos we produce in that week.

I’ve posted these pictures to bring an awareness:

1. God is still moving and there are people hungry for His presence.
2. Some of our youth are still hungry for God! Don’t write all the youth off! Encourage them and pray for the youth you do know to have an encounter with God. Jayde is not the only one. I saw 100′s last week weep before God in His presence.
3. Jayde does not minister from a “head full of correct christianese“; she has had her own encounters with God from a baby and still has regular, if not daily, encounters with God.
4. She ministers from a place of having experienced the Holy Spirit and not from her parents, pastors or friends testimonies. Nothing is secondhand. She gets her own fresh revelation from God.
5. Having these experiences as public as these, God is raising her up publicly so when she steps into her full function, the Body of Christ have already watched the growth over years.
6. When our Youth minister, dont knock them or judge them, many of them have been in the secret place of the most High, and have a very relevant message to share if we open our hearts!

Get hungry for God! Have your own 1-on-1 encounter with Him! It’s Life Changing!

NOT SURE WHAT I DID RIGHT OR IF JESUS DID IT ALL WITHOUT MY HELP!

Hubby and I recently went, by invitation to host a Fire Conference. Well more accurately, hubby does the Fire Conference and I do the video thing….
But, 3 days before the Fire Conference, the Weather Bureau predicted floods in that area for the weekend. Even up to 4 hours before the Fire Conference we were wondering if we should not cancel because of the amount of rain that had already fallen.

Some of the flood damage on the way to the conference

Deciding the pastor of the church that invited us would cancel it if he considered it a problem; we went ahead and travelled to the city.
Travelling to the Fire Conference we rode through water up to the bottom level of the car door to get to the venue. The rain did not just pour, it was cold! And there where not enough people to keep the warmth in the building. So wet and cold was the theme of the weekend.
Because of the downpour, we told our children to stay at home. At the end of the Friday night meeting, I got a bbm from my son “Mommy I’m sick! When you coming home?” Not the message you want to hear when you are ministering, because in the natural, you cannot do anything until the end of the meeting.
Knowing sickness is the devil stealing our health, and in this case, our son’s health and distracting us from ministering effectively through the flood and the sickness, we went home to go pray for him.
Saturday he was fine during the day, so we are back at the Fire conference on Saturday evening.
After prophesying and ministering, we head home after receiving a bbm “Mom, my head is sore!” to find our son passed out in the chair not been able to move without loosing his balance.
But this time he is very upset, as every time he tried to sleep, he would have this reoccurring dream of the devil locking him in a box and he would wake up all panicked.
After praying for him again, and his temperature not subsiding, I put him to bed and sat in the bedroom with him praying in tongues. After about 20min of sitting in the dark praying for him, I left the room to go get some coffee…and all I heard was yells that I was not listening to his dream. Even though I tried to explain to him that I did listen to his dream and that he had fallen asleep, he kept insisting I had walked out half way through him telling me his dream. So I said to him, “You keep having a dream where the devil locks you in a cage, so I’ve been sitting here praying for you”.
“No you didn’t listen to the rest of my dream. When the devil locked me in the cage, Jesus came and unlocked it and said to the devil: “you have no right to put sickness on him. He belongs to Me” and Jesus unlocked the cage and said to me “Come out and Be healed” “

Mom and Son

All I can do is Praise God that He does so much better at teaching my children revelations than we can ever dream of doing it! A revelation or rhema word like that in a child’s life, gives them an understanding and an authority they would never ever doubt or question further down their walk with God!
Thank you Jesus!
(the rest of the story is obvious )

First the Fathers...

We all know the importance of the Father figure. It is regularly preached off the pulpit: "how you related to your earthly Father is how you relate to Father God"

9 years ago my child's play school sent letters home asking Dads to please spend time with their children as the children at school are saying "Dad leaves before I wake up and gets home after I am sleeping" - Logical deduction: they very seldom see their Dads. Conclusion: God is a absent Father/God.

The devil has been successful in removing the Dads with the logical reasoning of "Dad has to bring the money in for us to live". I recently asked 150 people of various ages and population for their favorite Father/Child memory. I was shocked !!! More than half of the ones that replied (and my response to that question was tremendous) told me that they have no memory of their Father! More than two thirds replied their Dads were drunk or abusive towards them and they don't have a happy memory. About 10 people responded with really pleasant memories!

Now we know the devil succeeded....

The next trend I've notices in the last 10 years plus is just as bad as the Father trend. For many years if the Father worked hard or was absent, at least the Mother was at home to love and accept the Children.

Now days Moms are working harder than Dads and by the time they get home, they are too tired and the children are "rejected" again for either a sleep, household chores such as cooking or washing or shopping, a TV program, a social engagement, gym or school sport!

Some questions to think about:

Has the devil managed to succesfully remove the "Wall of protection" that the parents should create for the children?

Are our children been raised as I would classify as "orphaned or abandoned" as neither parent is there for their children?

Is it easier for us as parents to go to a full time job than to raise our own children?

When the Bible says "train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old he will not depart from it", what is "THE WAY" that we as Christian parents are raising our children in? Neglect, abandonement, love deprived?

When do I actually love my children?

Children imitate their parents. Are they learning "people are not important"?

Personally, I think it is easier going to work. Because when I see the challenges my children have had to face, I have never had the right answer to the situations. It has been hard work forcing myself to enquire from God how my child must handle their situations. It has meant I've had to spend time in the Word to find Biblical answers! Hard...because like every parent...I also want an easier life, with more luxuries and less responsibility.
I have had to learn to love my children when I don't want to love anything! When I have felt so empty because of the blows life has dealt me!
I've had to find the strength to tell them tomorrow is going to be ok when I did not know when the light at the end of the tunnel was going to appear.
I have had to learn what ever I say my children process and reproduce...life or death. What was I investing in their futures?

It takes time, patience and deliberate effort to love my children. And sometimes it gets the better of me, but then I remember: Jesus gave us one commandment: "Love one another" and what better place to start than loving my own little people. The reward for me has been I've learnt more about God and me than what I could ever impart into them! They are so rewarding to love!

Our children are amazing...let's love them more!!!
