BREAKTHROUGH - BY CHANGING YOUR SEED

Hi Guys!!!
This is a 20 minute message I shared at a recent Breakthrough Fire Conference we hosted!

Many of us are repeatedly reaping cycles in our lives that we do not enjoy, such as anger, bitterness, resentments, judgments, strife and division. If you do not like what you are reaping, change your seed. If you do not like what you are reaping, change your seed.

I look forward to hearing some positive testimonies from the change of fruit in your life!

much luv

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 :D )

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!!!

Weight loss, Weight loss tips, Fast Weight Loss versus God's perspective on Weight Loss

One of the most searched terms in Google are the phrases: weight loss, weight loss tips, best weight loss program, and our favorite: Fast Weight Loss!!!

In fact: it is searched for an average of 50 000 times a day!!!

There are a lot of unhappy, fat people out there! Been unhappy with ourselves is often expressed in our dissatisfaction with our weight, and that can lead us into a bondage. We often relate our success, acceptance; failures directly to our weight loss, weight gain, cheating.

Weight Loss, Need fast weight loss tips
Most of us feel like this
when we climb on a scale
As someone who has battled with weight problems since my pregnancies, I determined in my heart that there had to be a Godly solution to the problem! I would feel unworthy to minister the gospel because I don't look like Jennifer Aniston, but then again I don't exercise and eat like Jennifer Aniston! I would feel like I've accomplished the world when I loose 10kg's and feel like the world's biggest failure putting it all back again.
God made it very simple for me. He asked me if I thought He had a plan for my life. "Yes" was my automatic reply. Next question was "if the plan for your life is this 100% (Let's say 100% for sake of fullness and perfection), if you fulfill My life's plan for you by 90%, would you be accomplishing all I wanted you to do?"
NO
"What is stopping you from doing it?"
Very careful consideration went into answering this question.
"And what happens if I planned for you to live to 80, but you die of a heart attack at 60 because you are too overweight?". God responded.
Suddenly, I was able to see weight loss through God's eyes. It had nothing to do with what I looked like, what I eat, how much I exercised or what figures the scale threw back at me. It had to do with me been physically capable of doing and executing what God has asked me to do in my life.
So my focus should always be my prize at the end of my race when I get to heaven.
If it is my best friend’s birthday and I want to have a piece of birthday cake with her, I can now do it without feeling guilty. As long as I am able to display the fruits of the spirit after the food I've eaten, I am still in God's plan. What do I mean? Many of us react to sugar, processed wheats, stimulants etc in our food etc and we often become grumpy, irritable or even sick from the types of food we’ve eaten. So, the general rule now becomes, I need to remain a reflection of God’s glory after the food I’ve eaten. No snapping at people, no offish attitudes, no lethargy etc.
Eating in moderation is good. Eating healthy choices are good as it all helps me fulfill God's 100% plan for my life. Not exercising ensures I do not fulfill God's plan for my life.
Excersing
Exercise for the Godly reason
But, excessive exercising replaces my acceptance into God's family and makes me put my acceptance and accomplishments in my looks. We all like pretty and beautiful, but the only perfection we should be striving for, is reflecting God.
If I am an excessive exerciser,dieter or eater, am I fulfilling a void in my life, because both scenarios are sin. The one is not more “right” or “godly” than the other. All scenarios are replacing a void in my life because they are all rooted in an addiction.
So now:
If you are overweight, really be honest with yourself and admit why. Find your answer in the Word of God.
Let's talk straight to God and each one of us get to a place where we can get to a lifestyle where I can reach all God has planned for me.
For some of us it might mean going through a lot of forgiving of others, because in doing that, we also set ourselves free.
Doing it God's way means when I make a mistake, I have not failed.
Rom 8v1: There is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus,who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit
The new me
Can I truelly become the Woman God
wants Me to be?
A simple prayer of repentance gets me on the right path and I keep going with my eyes focussed on My Race, My prize. My eyes won't be focussed on the scale or on the size 00 model in the magazine.
It means, I plan my exercise, I plan my eating habits, and I have the strength to change the bad ones so that I can stand before God one day and He say to me: Well done Good and faithful servant! You have done all I have asked you to do!
For some of us: It means we need to start exercising our NO!
There is a Godly me trying to come out!
Be Blessed!!!

Supernatural (Part 1): THE RICH YOUNG RULER

Luke 18:18-23
18 And a certain ruler asked him, saying, Good Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?
19 And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? none is good, save one, that is, God.
20 Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Honour thy father and thy mother.
21 And he said, All these have I kept from my youth up.
22 Now when Jesus heard these things, he said unto him, Yet lackest thou one thing: sell all that thou hast, and distribute unto the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me.
23 And when he heard this, he was very sorrowful: for he was very rich.
The same story can be found in Matt 19 v 16 - 29; Mark 10 v 17 - 30    

As Part 1 of the Supernatural series, I've chosen this passage of scripture to start prodding your Spirit. Many times when we read the Bible, it is treated as a prescribed reading book at school. I read what I need to enabling me to answer the test /exam questions that follow. Please read the passage with the following intent in your heart: "Holy Spirit, please show me during the next month what my attitude towards money, riches and giving is"

The 1st points I would like you to consider is:
  • If I was the rich young ruler, would I have gone and sold all my possessions and given the money to the poor.
  • How easy would it have been for me to obey Jesus command, or would I have become sorrowful.
Some other points of consideration:
  • How do I feel and respond when someone around me is blessed.
  • When I need something, is my first thought "Oh no, now I have to spend more money"
  • When someone asks for something, what is your first thought.
  • Have you ever looked at something that you have needed and wanted, but in your heart accepted the fact that you will never have it.
  • How do you feel about giving to a beggar, to an orphanage, to a church, to individuals.
  • Have you ever confessed "money does not grow on trees".
  • Do you go to work only so that you can earn a salary at the end of the month.
  • Would you get up in the morning and go to work if no one paid you.
  • Have you ever received any money over and above your paycheck.
  • Are you a cheerful giver.
  • In your heart, if I gave you a million rand cheque today, would your 1st response be that all your problems are now solved.
  • What one thing in your life do you need right now that would solve all or most of your problems.
  • How much seed do I really have in the ground.
  • If I have an unexpected expense, do I trust God to provide.
  • Have I ever done spiritual warfare to claim back what the devil has stolen from me.
  • Do I know what the devil has stolen from me.
These points may seem strange and somehow not connected at all to the supernatural. But I have my perspective on the supernatural which does not include some of the standard "supernatural" ideas. I am going to be posting a couple of thought provoking posts to encourage the beautiful believers reading these posts to just start a different thought pattern. The Holy Spirit takes you on a wonderful journey once you open your spirit for instruction and education by the Holy Spirit. Everybody's journey is different. Revelations are not the same. We all have them at different times regarding different topics resulting in different outcomes. But it is the same Holy Spirit, it is us that are different, not the Holy Spirit.
To me the supernatural is not about finance, but we as people only consider been blessed when we receive money. By the end of the series, I will bring the "money" into context into the supernatural - in the context that I see it. I will be dealing with various issues such as justice, healing, education, government, churches and employment. I will be taking each issue and sharing my supernatural theories.
This part is not part of the Supernatural teaching, but I liked the pictures I found, so I included it for the pictures :-D                                                                       
Luke 18:24-25:
24 And when Jesus saw that he was very sorrowful, he said, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!
25 For it is easier for a camel to go through a needle's eye, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.

Don't Ever Give Up

Watching helplessly as friends and family go through hard times is probably one of the hardest things for a person to do graciously. Every time its happened to me, I've felt very helpless and clueless as I have never known how to deal with it. I've learnt advice never helps and prayer has always felt so hopeless in these difficult predicaments I've found myself facing with people who often mean the world to me. Well, this January was no different.

If I read the Bible correctly, my God is a victorious God, He loves people and only Blessed them! So why are so many of His people taking strain under yokes of bondages. This time I watched a family very dear to me get ripped apart through lies! But in the spirit God had shown me the calling He had on this family about 6 months prior.

So when this onslaught came, I got mad that the devil was going to win again. I did not like that very familiar feeling of helplessness and powerless, because in my heart, I believe in my God!

They say the definition of stupidity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results, so I sat and meditated on the Word and decided the first thing in, is definitely prayer. So I started praying. But that did not change the helplessness. I still felt like I was not changing anything in the spirit.

So I decided to start fasting. My hubby is very familiar with fasting, he's been fasting every second day for 4 years now. Me? I'm not so keen on it! Because of that helpless feeling getting the better of me again, I decided to join him. No lies, no sugar coating, no stories of heroism! ...it was tough!

I had to not just keep my focus on why I was fasting (that's was to break the bondages over my friends lives) but during that time, I was faced with overcoming the greatest challenge of my spiritual walk: witchcraft (not sure if it was all connected in the spirit).

We had 7 weeks of utter chaos and confusion in our home, but I decided we had started on this journey, we had to complete it God's way! In the 1st week of March i felt the 1st signs of release as if the battle for my friends had been won. But the picture in the natural did not line up with the release I felt. By end of March the family where back together praising the Lord once more and I realised the most important lessons ever:
1. I can make a difference to someone by never giving up on them.
2. If I call myself a leader in the christian faith, I need to be prepared to walk the extra mile for someone God loves to break spiritual strongholds over those I relate to.
3. I learnt to keep my mouth shut. Not once did the family know I was praying and fasting for them (they still don't know). Not once did I tell them they were not where God wanted them or that they were sinning. I only confessed the calling that God had shown me earlier.
4. I learnt, if you desperate enough, you'll do it!

I am glad I learnt these lessons. God has restored the peace in my home supernaturally & brought my entire family through victorious. Praise the Lord for His goodness.

But I've also learnt I have the ability to help people if I'm prepared to crucify my own flesh by getting out of my own comfort zones.

I found this scripture in Isaiah 58v6:
6 "Is this not the fast which I choose,
To loosen the bonds of wickedness,
To undo the bands of the yoke,
And to let the oppressed go free
And break every yoke?

I like being in the "yoke destroying, breaking every chain" business because I've seen results, lasting results.

Don't ever give up on a person that God loves! He can use you to make a difference. You do not have to go as severe as what I did, fasting every 2nd day! But start to fight for the ones you love!
