In Jesus' Hands: Day 5

30 Days In Jesus' Hands

Five days ago I threw myself into Jesus' hands and will have no medications or contact with medical people for thirty days. When Trish, my wife, and I were praying about this I had a great sense that God loves me, as Father, as Son, and as Holy Spirit. Both Trish and I had an inner peace that we could trust God's Word, as given to us in the Bible, that Jesus would, in fact, be our rock: (Isaiah 26:4 NIV) Trust in the Lord forever, for the Lord, the Lord, is the Rock eternal.

I am still amazed how full of hope I am. Not the hope of a farmer facing a dry year, but the certain hope of a Christian for whom Jesus has already done everything. Hope from assurance which comes from faith (Hebrews 11:1). Faith which comes from knowing our Lord Jesus Christ, and our Father who sent Him. Faith elicited by the testimony of those who have experienced God's love and power and working for good in their lives.

Today was another busy day with good progress in many things. One new thing, for the first time in two weeks I took Star, our dog, walking. My knee seemed not to mind a bit. We brought flowers home for the kitchen.

The knee is significant because it so affects my testimony.

My Knee
About four years ago my left knee began to ache. It got very painful and I developed an involuntary limp. I saw my doctor who sent me to a specialist orthopaedic surgeon who had x-rays and an MRI scan done. He said "look, you can see that the cartilage is worn like an old blanket . . there is significant arthritis . . your knee is finished . . I'll see you again in six years or so, to fit a plastic knee".

After prayer at a healing meeting the pain left and mobility returned. Hallelujah! Rejoicing! A miracle? I thought so, and testified many, many times. All the swelling never quite left the knee, sometimes it would be hot, sometimes sore, but I had my mobility. I called it a miracle and for me it was.

Six weeks ago the same knee mushroomed in size. I saw my new orthopaedic surgeon. He said that it is common for worn and arthritic joints to be inflamed and sore, then, for no apparent reason, become virtually normal for extended periods before returning to the painful condition. The new x-rays showed clear deterioration, particularly in the cartilage. I believed this to be my "miracle knee". Clearly no doctor would see the changes as a sign or a wonder in the biblical sense. Where does this leave my testimony?

Testimony Is My Work
Whenever I share, or teach, even when I pray, testimony is a mainstay. I speak of what I know in my spirit to be true through my own experience or through direct observation.

Everything I write contains testimony. If my miracle knee is not a miracle then what do I write and publish? Should this web-site be dismantled and deleted. Didn't PsalmsOfJohn.com come from Jesus, our Lord?

This was a huge crisis in my understanding of who I am in Christ, even as that understanding is, at last, becoming firmly established.

So I prayed. We prayed, many of us. Now, here I am, in Jesus' hands.

Favourite Scripture:
(Matthew 7:11) "If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask him!"

Praise Jesus
Amen

In Jesus' Hands: Day 4

Testimony - 30 Days In Jesus' Hands

We just got home from a Friday night "Well" meeting. Our church is host. People come from many local churches; pastors, parish priests, elders, and leaders too. We go to the "well" and get a drink from the Lord. Fabulous. Jesus always shows up. Tonight many found a new assurance and freedom. We sang "I sing because He is good, I dance because He is good, I shout because He is good, He is good to me". Many danced. It was a time of release and freedom in Christ Jesus, particularly freedom from religion.

The Scripture (Luke 11:11) "Which of you fathers, if your son asks for bread, will give him a stone?" was spoken. What a truth! What an affirmation to me for these 30 days with no drugs or doctors! Trish came tonight which is wonderful, usually going out Friday night is too much for her. She was blessed. We all were. Jesus looks after His people. He is good.

Dad, How Do You Feel?
Generally my kids don't ask after my health much, unless I've just come out of hospital. Today I was asked more than once. I was so blessed to be asked, and blessed that I could answer in the positive. I am well. My left hand is a little sore (like arthritis), I think it is tired from the tough weeding I did yesterday.

There are no obvious effects of my not taking my usual prescription medications. (Also, I have had no caffeine for 8 days, no nicotine or alcohol or dope for years!)

There are also no obvious signs of healing, but that's OK. These are early days, healings often take some time. Jesus loves me, His Abba Daddy is my Abba Daddy.

Favourite Scriptures:
(Hebrews 11:1 NIV) Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see. Meditating on this verse is so very rewarding. Am I sure? Yes. Do I see? No.

(Luke 11:11) "Which of you fathers, if your son asks for a fish, will give him a snake instead?"

(Luke 12:22-24) He said to his disciples, "Therefore I tell you, don't be anxious for your life, what you will eat, nor yet for your body, what you will wear. Life is more than food, and the body is more than clothing. Consider the ravens: they don't sow, they don't reap, they have no warehouse or barn, and God feeds them. How much more valuable are you than birds!

Hearing From God
This hearing from God idea is really interesting. Controversial too. Paul talks about it: (1 Corinthians 14:1) "Follow after love, and earnestly desire spiritual gifts, but especially that you may prophesy".

The prophetic gifting is something we can seek. It is real. Paul is talking to the church, to us. Shouldn't prophetic gifting be commonplace? Yes. I even think it is commonplace.

Think about this .. every week, all around the world, millions (yes, millions) of pastors, ministers, Bible college and Bible class teachers, missionaries, parish priests, home group leaders, and others, say: "Lord, what would you have me share with your people this week? What shall I preach or teach on Tuesday/Thursday/Sunday?"

Then they get out their Bible and all the teaching aids they use: Many Scripture translations, Greek and Hebrew Bibles, computers, text books, devotions, notes, CDs, maps. Then they go to work. On Tuesday, or Thursday, or Sunday they share what they have put together. This whole project is God's work. Their appointment into their position is Jesus work. He is Head of the Church. Jesus was asked for help, help surely came! Not a stone. Bread.

Praise Jesus
Amen

In Jesus' Hands: Day 3

30 Days In Jesus' Hands

What a day of progress! Trish and I started the day with a prayer time together, and communion. I don't have to tell you that we talk quite a bit about this 30 day medication free and doctor free project.

We spent some of our time talking about how hard should I work at the spiritual side of this?

Every day should I:
* Read or study Scripture for, say, an hour?
* Have communion?
* Listen to a CD or read a great Christian healing teacher?
* Spend a significant time in prayer? In spiritual warfare prayer?
* Put on the armour of God (Ephesians 6 - each component is Jesus)?
* Do warfare prayer on behalf of our family, houses, cars ..
* Cut off ungodly soul ties?
* Speak to each ailment and body part and system?
* Pray that Jesus will heal each illness, disease, or problem?

Is there stuff I should do that I have not listed? Stuff I don't even know about, that I should be doing?

I have to say that as much as I love Jesus and love being a Christian, I have never been able to do this stuff. I've never had a consistent prayer time, or systematically persued any course of study (except in Bible College). Christianity is relational, it is not propositional, neither is it "do this" and "don't do that".

Jesus gives me thoughts to chew on: I spent a very tough year with Him in Psalm 22. Another year we meditated on John 1 and Genesis 1 and 2, now I am very Christ centred yet totally in awe of God's creation. Right now it is "grace": (John 1:16) From his fullness we all received grace upon grace.

Favourite Scripture:
(Galatians 5:1)  For freedom did Christ set us free: stand fast therefore, and be not entangled again in a yoke of bondage.

I know this to be true; Christians have been set free so that we can be free in Jesus our Lord. We sing a song: "free to sing, free to dance, free to run". All in Him.

When I ponder this and my circumstances I realise that my frustration about time is God inspired. So much time and energy is swallowed up in blood tests, CT scans, X-Rays, clinics, procedures.

Jesus
This is not about me. It is not about my illnesses. It is about Jesus and His Kingdom breaking in on the Earth and on humankind. It is about His glory and all glory going to our Father. We participate with Jesus in bringing glory to Father God. This is why a Christian's whole life is worship!

So my prayer (and Trish's too, and our kids') is this:
"Jesus, my life is for your glory. My time is for your glory. Wash my body, cleanse my systems; redeem my time Lord, I pray. I promise myself for your purposes, for you to glorify yourself. I know you love me, you gave yourself for me, then bought me for your purposes. Do what you will Lord. I am yours".

We had the most wonderful and productive day. We did huge work in the garden, (mostly Trish and Patrick), gorgeous! And I got my little red car ready for sale; when it is sold we will buy something newer and zippier for Trish, and I will take over our trusty family van. Tonight a lovely simple family meal together.

Praise Jesus
Amen

In Jesus' Hands: Day 2

30 Days In Jesus' Hands

At the end of my second day in Jesus' hands, away from medications and the care of medical people, I absolutely believe that Jesus loves me, is with me, and is in process of completely healing me.

My wife, Trish, our younger daughter Becky, and I, went to a healing meeting this morning. People were asked to stand if there was "something impossible" before them, "a chasm too deep to cross"; of all the things to ask me today! Amongst others I stood and was prayed for. No details or circumstances were discussed. The prayers of the people brought forth such deep sobs from me, and tears, and an all encompassing knowledge of Jesus' love. My Saviour. God's Son, my fellow son and fellow heir of Father God. My tears seemed so very, very clean, Jesus used them to wash me inside and out.

Later, during a quiet moment, I received a prophetic picture from the Lord: I was standing perfectly upright with my hands by my sides, but instead of being on the ground I was rising, effortlessly and steadily, into the air. Below me, heaped on the ground, was a pile of what looked to be meat, guts, skin, and bone fragments, it looked disgusting, the whole pile was putrid with puss and slime. I believe that I saw a prophetic picture of all that will be left of my "sixteen distinct medical complaints" by the time these 30 days are done.

More Favourite Scriptures:
God, in His Bible, promises that every one of Jesus' followers, indeed every person, already has their healing paid for by Jesus as He suffered and then died on the Cross:
(Isaiah 53:5) But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities; the punishment that brought our peace was upon him; and by his stripes we are healed.

Jesus' Proximity and Presence
(Deuteronomy 4:29) There you will look for the Lord your God, and if you search for him with all your heart, you will find him.

(Jeremiah 29:13) And you shall seek me, and find me, when you shall search for me with all your heart.

(Proverbs 8:17) I love those who love me. Those who seek me diligently will find me.

(Matthew 5:6) "Blessed are those who hunger and thirst after righteousness, for they shall be filled".

All our righteousness is Jesus Christ Himself, He is our righteousness (2 Corinthians 5:21) God made the One who did not know sin to be sin for us, so that we might become God's righteousness in Him.

(Matthew 28:20) ". . Behold, I am with you always, even to the end of the age".

A Simple Question:
IF Jesus has fully and completely paid for our healing, and
IF God is always there for us when we earnestly seek Him,
then
It has to be a travesty of justice that even one person is sick today, that I am sick today and experiencing illness, (especially after years of the excellent medical care I have received here in Australia).

Tonight
A lovely travelling preacher and his wife, who we have known for many years, are in town tonight at a church near here. I am able to join them for a shared meal and a praise, prayer and preaching meeting. He is seventy seven! I am so looking forward. I am cooking chicken drumsticks to take, I must go now and turn them in the oven.

In Jesus' Hands: Day 1

In Jesus' Hands: Day 1 of 30

I have thrown myself into Jesus' hands. This sounds pretty dramatic but to me it is completely natural; simply the next step in my walk with Jesus.

Over the next 30 days I'm trusting that Jesus will fully heal me of the sixteen distinct medical complaints that I have been seeing 8 medical specialists and 2 GP doctors for, some for over 20 years. I expect to be healthy, rested, alert, mobile and vigorous, with no illnesses, physical complaints or allergies. I even expect to be able to give my reading and distance glasses away, and to have noticeably lost weight!

In these next 30 days I plan to take none of the 6 medications prescribed for me, and will not see any doctor or other health professional. I am asking Jesus to show me that His Word and His promises are true. I'm nearly in tears as I write this, Jesus' love for me is so near.

I know that Jesus can heal, and often does so. There have been medical, emotional and relational miracles in my family and we often see them in other people. God is real. Jesus is real. Eternal salvation is real. Healing is real.

Praise be to Jesus for the healings I have had, particularly in my spirit and my soul, my emotions and will. I am sure that I would be dead if it were not for His work in me.

A favourite Scripture is: (Philippians 1:1,6  Paul writing to Christians) I thank my God whenever I remember you . . being confident of this very thing, that he who began a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ.

Jesus began a good work in me more than a quarter century ago. And He has been faithful in working to complete it . .

But, as I have grown older, my list of physical complaints has steadily grown. After hundreds of healing meetings and many, many, prayers, anointings and laying on of hands, I have only ever been partly healed. Never fully.

Each day I will post a fresh report here to www.PsalmsOfJohn.com.

Praise Jesus
Amen

Bless Jesus.

Father Heart: Intro

I taught "Father Heart of God" over six sessions, then posted my (abbreviated and rather cryptic) teaching notes to Psalms Of John in August 2011. Now I am revising these posts so they will be more meaningful to read. Jesus came to heal us and set us free, bless us all – February 2026.

Part 6:  God Is Love

https://www.psalmsofjohn.com/2011/09/father-heart-of-god-6.html

 

Why The Father’s Heart? Why am I teaching this?

 

Many people have trouble knowing God in a close or personal way.

 

For a very long time I was not able to see Father God as being my heavenly Father. These six posts are my testimony of how His love reached me and overcame the problems of my relationship with my own earthly father. I learned to say "Abba", and to rejoice in Jesus' plans for me, in this life, and in eternity!

 

Our difficulty can be in relating to our earthly father, or step-father, or to a man or men in our life. This can affect all our relationships and our view of the world. Jesus wants to heal this and set us free (Matthew 10:8; Galatians 5:1).

 

Christianity Is Relational

 

Christianity is relational – it is NOT propositional. By this I mean that Christians are brought into a personal and profound relationship with God when we are saved.

 

Our faith is based in our relationship with our triune God: Father, the Son Jesus, and Holy Spirit.

 

The instant that we are saved, we are brought into God’s family as His children, fully included. We come into all the benefits of being God’s sons and daughters. The relationship is intended to be intimate, personal and close. Jesus called our Father "Abba" (Mark 14:36); this is an ancient Jewish name which shows great the love and trust the child has for his or her Daddy.

 

All the benefits won by Jesus on the Cross of Calvary are ours.

 

Father God Becomes Our Father

 

A miracle occurs!

 

"The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God's children" (Romans 8:16).

 

"Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old things have passed away. Behold, all things have become new" (2 Corinthians 5:17).

 

"Behold what manner of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God; and so we are" (1 John 3:1).

 

Christianity Is Not Propositional

 

Many religions are a set of beliefs or propositions which a person can listen to and understand and then agree to. For example:

 

• Praying in certain ways or at certain times

• Offering of food or incense or something in a certain way

• Wearing certain kinds of clothes

• Behaving in certain ways

• Refraining from certain behaviours (eg. drinking alcohol, dancing, playing cards).

 

There is widespread belief that Christianity is like this too. Not true, we have been "set free, to be free" (Galatians 5:1).

 

Christians surely do believe that certain things are true. We believe that Jesus died and rose again so that we can be saved from our sins and enter into eternal life.

 

But we do not have to follow religious procedures or practices. Jesus said "follow me". We are to follow our Lord, Jesus, not religious practices.

 

Early church fathers carefully wrote creeds, statements of faith that summarise the core beliefs of Christianity. The Nicene Creed and the Apostle's Creed are still well known today. They explain our understanding of who our God is, and how He leads and blesses us, His people. You will see that there is nothing in the creeds about how we must respond or behave towards Him.

 

Both creeds are included in full at the end of this post,

 

Jesus Becomes Our Betrothed (our Beloved)

 

Jesus plans to marry me, and to marry you:

 

"I saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, made ready like a bride adorned for her husband" (Revelation 21:2).

 

I cannot explain how both women and men can marry Jesus but I can accept this as true. Jesus is Lord of the whole of Creation:

 

"For by him all things were created, in the heavens and on the earth, things visible and things invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers; all things have been created through him, and for him. He is before all things, and in him all things are held together" (Colossians 1:16-17).

 

This song from Scripture is about me (and you) and Jesus:

"As an apple tree among the trees of the forest, so is my beloved among the young men. With great delight I sat in his shadow, and his fruit was sweet to my taste. He brought me to the banqueting house, and his banner over me was love. Sustain me with raisins; refresh me with apples, for I am sick with love. His left hand is under my head, and his right hand embraces me!" (Song of Solomon 2:3-6).

 

Our Faith and Jesus' Faith

 

It is faith which brought me here, the faith of Jesus (Mark 11:22), His faith in Father God and His faith in me.

 

I trust that you will be as blessed by looking at our Father's heart as I was and am!

 

Remember His promise: "You will look for the Lord your God, and if you search for him with all your heart, you will find him" (Deuteronomy 4:29).

 

And I have often taken much comfort from this verse: "They should seek the Lord, if perhaps they might reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from each one of us" (Acts 17:27).

 

Praise Jesus, Amen.

 

Christian Creeds

 

The Apostles’ Creed

 

I believe in God the Father Almighty,

maker of heaven and earth;

And in Jesus Christ his only Son our Lord:

who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,

born of the Virgin Mary,

suffered under Pontius Pilate,

was crucified, dead, and buried;

the third day he rose from the dead;

he ascended into heaven,

and sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty;

from thence he shall come to judge the living and the dead.

I believe in the Holy Spirit,

the holy catholic** church,

the communion of saints,

the forgiveness of sins,

the resurrection of the body,

and the life everlasting. Amen.

 

** "catholic" refers to the universal scope and nature of Jesus' church, not to a particular denomination. The church exists across the globe, united in its confession of Christ as Lord, and it stretches across the ages, and includes all believers from every era.

 

 

The Nicene Creed was originally formulated at the First Council of Nicaea in 325 AD and later revised at the First Council of Constantinople in 381 AD.

 

    I believe in one God, the Father almighty,

    maker of heaven and earth,

    of all things visible and invisible.

 

    And in one Lord, Jesus Christ,

    the only begotten Son of God,

    begotten of the Father before all worlds;

    Light of Light, true God of true God;

    begotten, not made,

    of one substance with the Father,

    by whom all things were made.

 

    Who, for us men [and women and children]

    and for our salvation,

    came down from heaven,

    and was incarnate by the Holy Spirit of the virgin Mary,

    and became man;

    and was crucified also for us under Pontius Pilate;

    He suffered, died, and was buried;

    and the third day He rose again,

    according to the Scriptures;

    and ascended into heaven,

    and sits on the right hand of the Father.

 

    And He shall come again, with glory,

    to judge the living and the dead;

    whose kingdom shall have no end.

 

    And I believe in the Holy Spirit,

    the Lord, the giver of life,

    who proceeds from the Father and the Son;

    who with the Father and the Son together is worshipped and glorified;

    who spoke by the prophets.

 

    And I believe in one holy catholic** and apostolic Church;

    I acknowledge one baptism for the remission of sins;

    and I look for the resurrection of the dead,

    and the life of the world to come. Amen.

 

** "catholic" refers to the universal scope and nature of Jesus' church, not to a particular denomination. The church exists across the globe, united in its confession of Christ as Lord, and it stretches across the ages, and includes all believers from every era.

 

Praise Jesus. Amen.

Pray Northbridge

Pray Northbridge - 24 hours of prayer and worship from 5 PM Friday, 23 July 2010

We were invited to gather for 24 hours to worship our Lord Jesus and pray for Northbridge and all who go there. Northbridge is a busy and popular part of our city, just across the train tracks from the CBD. It comprises many bars, cafes, restaurants, video arcades, tattoo parlours and places of sin. It is the seedy part of town. Thousands of people go there to eat and drink, party, hitch up, and get high. Some go to fight or do violence. On a weekend night there may be ninety cops on duty in these few blocks, as well as bouncers, emergency medical crews, and many people, including street chaplains, who are there to help the needy and the hurt.

When our 24 hours began with singing to our Lord, He showed me the streets of Northbridge as though I was standing 100 metres in the air just a block away. I could see all the buildings and streets, the busy people and the cars. Laid over the whole area was a pair of lungs, they were a healthy pink colour, translucent; they rose and fell as Northbridge breathed.

I did not understand, I asked: "Jesus, what does this mean? If 'the life is in the blood' (Leviticus 17:11), why do I not see a heart?"

Jesus answered: "The spirit comes on the breath" (Genesis 2:7). "These lungs breathe for the whole city. They breathe in spirits, and these flow out to the whole city through the arteries of the various cultures and lifestyles of the people".

"The spirits over Northbridge are not Godly. As Christians you are to fight against these spirits with the authority I have given you (Luke 9:1, 10:19). This is vital. It is one of the major tasks for My church in these times".

It is true that Godly people minister in Northbridge. The number of Christian ministries and businesses there has about tripled in the past four years. Much Christian prayer pours out over the whole city, some specifically for Northbridge. Yet the moral decline in our city continues. This decline in Australia and all Western countries has been well documented for some decades now.

What I believe the Lord was saying to me was this: "My Spirit, which is poured out over Northbridge, by your devotions and your prayers, is becoming part of the breath entering the lungs of the city. Together you are countering Satan’s legal right to rule in this area. Now My Holy Spirit is being poured out to overcome the evil spirits who have prevailed here for so long. Persevere (Ephesians 6:18). These times of prayer are very good (1 Thessalonians 5:17)".

Amen.

Favourite Bible Verses

(Ephesians 6:18)  .. praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication. To that end, keep alert with all perseverance, making supplication for all the saints.

(1 Thessalonians 5:17)  .. pray without ceasing.

Praise Jesus.

Our Precious Young

A Parable of Today’s Young People as Nebuchadnezzar and Daniel

While I was at prayer for all of our young people, Jesus gave me a "today" picture of the Bible account of King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon and Daniel.

•  Daniel was a captive from ancient Israel and a committed follower of the God of all creation.

•  King Nebuchadnezzar was a "mighty king of kings, powerful and glorious; he dreamed dreams, his spirit was troubled, and he could not sleep" (Daniel 2:1,37). He needed to know the truth.

•  Daniel's friends were also captives in Babylon. They were young men who knew and worshiped the God of heaven (Daniel 2:18), they were from the elite of Israel.

Today the "king" is the young people of our city, many of whom are living out a dream at least as scary as Nebuchadnezzar's. He dreamed about a mighty and awesome statue, made of gold and silver and brass whose feet were of iron and clay. This represented his kingdom and power. The feet were smashed by a rock, the statue toppled, completely ruined.

Many youth today are troubled, uncertain, without clear direction, even though their lives seem to be wonderful. Youth are not “king” just because they are young and vigorous but also because they have greater power than any generation before them. They are educated, they have great disposable wealth, they direct it where-ever they will.

But, like the statue’s feet of iron and clay, our young have a divided kingdom which can be smashed by any crisis they encounter.

Much news has been very bad since they were born. Vast numbers of people throughout the world have been, and are being, over-run, addicted, robbed, ignored, bought and sold, left behind, killed.

The leaders they see, in government, business, crime, sport, law enforcement, entertainment (and sometimes the church) are generally selfish and dishonest. A primary goal in their lives is to seek wealth, influence, and celebrity.

Political correctness appears much more important than truth. Ours is a culture of fear. As a result many young people have no interest in the events of the world. They spend their money on clothes and entertainment.

Our youth are post-modern and millennial; the truth I may tell them is fine, but they see it as my truth, a product of my life and my experience. As a father and grandfather I cannot get to these kids, my love for Jesus, my years of living and learning and experience is irrelevant to them. They do not understand how I think or reason, I believe I am typical of the older generations. These kids are like the feet of the mighty statue, at the same time strong, yet brittle.

King Nebuchadnezzar was troubled and wanted to know his dream. He was desperate to know its interpretation (Daniel 2:9).

Today, many of our youth know that their lives are out of balance, their intense anger and high-risk activities with drugs, promiscuity, cars, violence .. the suicides .. all tell us this. Until our young people know what the dream is: what life means, what is worth living, or even dying, for, the interpretation is worthless to them.

Daniel asked his friends Shadrach, Mesach, and Abednego to "plead for mercy from the God of heaven" (Daniel 2:17-18) to reveal the truth to Daniel who was then able to satisfy the king. This opened the way for Daniel to give the interpretation. King Nebuchadnezzar’s life was changed (Daniel 2:27-47), he said to Daniel, "Surely your God is the God of gods and the Lord of kings and a revealer of mysteries, for you were able to reveal this to me". He immediately accepted our God of heaven and earth as his Lord!

Today’s intercessors and prayer warriors are "Daniel's friends". They are to plead with the God of heaven to reveal His "truth", (John 1:14), to many, many, young Christians who will become today’s "Daniels". These may then bring a clear saving gospel to the "king", the young people of our city, our nation, our world. Our Daniels will show the truth to our young, show them what these truths mean, demonstrate and witness to the saving effect of Jesus on all lives (Isaiah 40:31; Romans 6:4; Ephesians 4:22-24; Philippians 4:6-7), to forgiveness of past sins (Romans 4:5), to sharing the freedom to be free in Christ (Galatians 5:1), to the joy of living in daily relationship with Jesus (Psalm 23:4).

The biblical Daniel was young, committed, knowledgeable about the Lord and lived for Him; he was very able to express truth .. Lord Jesus, raise up many of these!

I pray that our young will soon come into a knowledge that there is a truth beyond this present culture, a truth of love, of forgiveness and salvation (Ephesians 2:8), of hope, of fellowship, of life (John 10:10). Jesus is for every person, for all humankind, for all the universe; He is not beyond reach, but near (Revelation 3:20). "God .. is not far from any one of us" (Acts 17:27).

(The harvest in our city is hundreds of thousands. Is this "marketplace evangelism?")

Amen.

Restoration - T8

Testimony 8: 12th July 2006: My Left Knee
Supernatural Healing and Restoration

Trish, my wife, and I went to a daytime healing meeting, more as an opportunity to fellowship and praise Jesus than for any other reason. We were half way there when I thought: "Healing meeting! I'll ask for my knee!"

Several months previously my left knee had begun to ache. It got very painful and I developed an involuntary limp. I saw my doctor who sent me to an orthopaedic surgeon who had x-rays and an MRI scan done. He said "look, you can see that the cartilage is worn like an old blanket, there are clear signs of arthritis here and here and here; your knee is finished, it will continue to get worse. I will send you back to your GP who will manage the pain for you. I'll see you again in six years or so, to fit a plastic knee". My own doctor said nothing to help this situation, she offered no encouragement, in fact she made it clear that physiotherapy, exercises and taking fish oil and glucosamine from health shops was just wasting time and money.

At the healing meeting we had a wonderful time of worshiping our Father and our Lord Jesus. Then the leader, Pastor Phil, asked for people to stand who had received "bad reports from doctors". I had never heard such a request before. I and four others stood. Phil asked questions and prayed for each one. When it was my turn the meeting would not accept the bad report for me but claimed healing in Jesus' name.

Soon there was a clearly noticeable warmth manifesting in my knee; I could definitely feel something going on inside the knee. Soon after that, a similar sensation occurred within my right knee; there had never been any symptoms for that knee but I knew, "without any doubt" (James 1:6), that the right knee was also very worn and was being repaired before it got bad enough to show symptoms. Both knees were being healed! At the end of the meeting a number of people came up to me to ensure that I understood that this healing was a spiritual victory. I was told to cleave to my healings, to hang on to them with everything I had, because Satan and his demons would try to get them back; I would feel pain and other symptoms in my knees and must immediately tell the demons that I and my knee belonged to Jesus, that Jesus had healed me and that I was going to stay healed.

Many times this has proved true, I might twist my knee or it will become tired and sore, then I will speak to Satan, the symptoms will go and I will have no further trouble for a time. I have clung to the healing in Jesus' name and am still healed, after some years I still have great mobility and vitality. Praise Jesus!

Smoking Healed: T7

Testimony 7: 1988: Smoking Addiction Healed

About thirty years after I started smoking I was still trying to quit. I had succeeded in stopping many times, twice for a year and several times for more than a month. My smoker's cough was an established part of my life and I was sick of the whole business. The office where I worked in New York organised a quit program with professional motivators. My office room-mate was in the program so I joined. I did not have much faith in these motivators, or in myself to stop smoking; I had failed too many times.

At our church prayer meeting I mentioned this program as a prayer point. Here's the advice I got from my prayer group friends:

"Give the whole thing to Jesus; the addiction, the cough, all the smokey smell of your clothes, curtains, car. All the wasted money. All the negative effects on your health, even your enjoyment of a smoke. Give the program to Jesus and your will, give your office mate so that she too will stop and you won't have to share with a smoker, give the whole thing, as a gift, mentally gather everything and pack it into beautiful paper with a ribbon. Give it to Jesus".

So I did. I can still see myself gathering all these aspects together, it is visual to me like a dream, but I was awake and conscious of what I was doing. The parcel I made was beautiful, and the ribbon prettier than those I tie around my family's gifts! I can still see myself giving the parcel to Jesus and His very gracious and loving smile as He received it .. we both knew what ugly things were inside the gift ..

Never was stopping so easy. The addiction fell off me. I kept busy and didn't think much about wanting a smoke. The motivators were full of psychobabble and I do not credit them with helping much except that they kept the group dynamic going. I've never had another smoke. I don't ever want one. I'm healed from smoking. It's nothing like earlier when I stopped and could be tempted and experienced desire until I cracked and started again. Nothing like that. People smoking nearby do not drive me crazy. It is just a nothing thing. I am healed. Jesus healed me. Praise Him!

Jesus’ Faith in Me

Five Visions of Jesus and Me on a Mountain Trek

A wonderful gift of love and confidence from Jesus came to me in a series of visions. Since that time I have known the level of intimacy in His relationships with the Twelve Disciples, with Lazarus, Mary and Martha, with Paul, and many others in Scripture. I received five visions over a period of weeks in mid 2009 and early in 2010. Each is burned into my consciousness and I believe I'll remember them forever.

These visions are particularly poignant to me because as a boy and young man I was a very keen mountain and wilderness trekker and I still love the outdoors.

Vision 1

We are in a clearing, just Jesus and me, high on a mountain at the tree line. It is morning and we have finished packing our camp for the next big push up the mountain. I'm aware that this is a very important mission we are on. I am fastening my backpack and Jesus is a few metres away tying His boots. Jesus glances over His shoulder at me, there is a very soft look on His face, loving. At first I am puzzled - Jesus says nothing, He clearly wants me to follow Him; we are on this walk together. I am part of His team. Then I realise, He doesn't have to say anything, doesn't have to encourage me or give detailed instruction. He knows me so well and loves me so much that He can go about His plan knowing that He can trust me, knowing that in my clumsy imperfect way, I'll be sufficiently prepared and fully willing to follow where-ever He leads. I know that I am His beloved. Then he simply turns and starts walking up the mountain trail.

Vision 2

The second scene is a few minutes later. Jesus stops and waits for me to catch Him up. He steps up to me and hugs me, puts His cheek on mine, leans back so He can see me, smiles. Then He turns and continues to walk up the mountain path.

In none of these five visions does Jesus speak, neither do I; the whole point is that our relationship has reached the point that we no longer have to talk to be with each other or to share our thoughts and hearts.

Vision 3

Jesus gave me this third vision some weeks later. Jesus is leading, I am following. We are walking up the same path up the same mountain. This is simply later on that same day, a little further on our journey together. I remember that Jesus is showing me these things for a reason: I am His, He loves me, He has complete faith in me, He knows me so well that He can trust me completely, He can trust the work He has done in me that I will follow and we will accomplish His goals - I don't even know what these are, neither do I care, for I am with Him and He is leading me.

A gap of several months passed between the 3rd and 4th visions. In that time I was growing in my gifting in the prophetic and in teaching. The Lord lead Trish, my wife, and me into a new work which began in January 2008 and has been a delight to many. Our children are growing in Christ, five of the six belong to Jesus. The sixth, and his wife and kids, have been promised to us.

Vision 4

We are much further up the mountain. Jesus is still leading. Conditions are much harder. The path is steeper, indeed it is almost non-existent, it is comprised of big stones and boulders so each foot must be placed with precision so as not to slip or turn an ankle. The sky is grey, everything is wet, it is cold. Our sense of purpose and direction is unchanged. We press on full of confidence and a certain hope. This journey is immensely satisfying.

Vision 5

At last, we round a bend in the path, we are now very high, we can see the valleys and other lesser mountains around and below us. We are very near to the summit, indeed we can see it, over there, ahead of us, up and to the right. I feel a surge of excitement. Then I realise that between us and the mountaintop is a rock ridge. It is narrow with almost sheer falls to both left and right. We are so high that the sky is pale blue. It is very cold, nearly freezing, but there is no snow or ice for us to cut steps into to climb the ridge. This is much more difficult climbing than I have ever done. This is technical. Dangerous. All I have are my simple trekker's skills and Jesus. Jesus' confidence is unbounded. He knows that we will succeed and reach the goal He set; the summit of this mountain. He knows, so I know. I am ready to follow ..

Praise Jesus.
Amen.

Good Gifts – T6

Testimony 6: 1988: God Gives Good Gifts

Our fourth child, Patrick, was born in March. He had all the normal tests and appeared fine. In July of that year, on the eve of our huge holiday trip, we heard from the New Jersey Health Department that his test for galactosemia showed that Patrick was at high risk of brain degeneration leading to mental retardation; he should be checked immediately and we should be ready to take him to hospital at a moment's notice. Our station wagon was all packed. We were planning to leave at 2:30 the next morning and drive to Rhode Island to house-sit for a lady who was flying to Europe. This had all been planned for months. What should we do?

We called our local doctor who was away. We called the local hospital who immediately went into great lengths about stuff we should do over the next few days, at huge expense. Clearly they were telling us to do every possible thing, so that if a problem arose and we sued them they would be covered. We had no idea where to go for practical advice as we were many thousands of kilometres from our own Australian network of friends who included doctors, midwives and nurses. Meanwhile, we were aware that our Lord Jesus had been teaching us to trust Him in all circumstances.

So we prayed. Lord? Is Patrick at risk? What shall we do? We felt a great peace. Patrick was a wonderful baby boy, a gift from our loving Father. This was the Lord's reality. We were to press on and go on our month-long house-sitting and camping holiday.

We didn't forget about this threat and wondered if we had heard aright from God. Soon we learned that the neighbour of our house-sit was a doctor. After my prayer time next morning I walked over to the doctor's house to speak to him. Praise Jesus, he answered the door with his Bible in his hand; he was Christian! The doctor was part of a "walk-in centre", a new concept in 1988; they have much diagnostic equipment and offer a wide variety of medical services besides simple diagnosis and prescription. 

Our doctor arranged some tests and then saw Patrick immediately the results were in. He was God's man for Patrick, he had the courage to say the truth rather than fudge his answer to be safe from a lawsuit. Beaming, he told us that Patrick was perfectly well and we could ignore the results of the original test. To this day Patrick has been a perfectly normal kid; he's now a young Christian man, at university, studying to be a primary school teacher, he has the most wonderful affinity with little kids and will be a blessing to many.

Amen.

David & Goliath Today

A Vision of the Present Cosmic Battle

Emailed to many from Perth, Western Australia, on 24th January 2009:

At a recent church meeting where many from different Christian congregations were gathered, a visiting pastor was leading. He asked a young local man named David to come and stand in the centre, as representative of all those under thirty, and lead us in prayer in tongues. This David did. The whole meeting was in unity, and, as we prayed, Jesus gave me a vision.

On my right, on a vast field cleared for battle, were legions of huge men, like the family of Goliath. These were warriors, wild eyed, immense in size, with faces like crags, muscles like boulders, legs like oak trees, hands the size of dinner plates and fingers like steel claws. Their clothing was full Bible times military dress as described in Ephesians 6. They were battle hardened. These are Satan’s forces today, demons on the earth, equipped and ready on their chosen battle field.

Across a narrow strip of land were a myriad of young men. No. Young men and young women together. These are the Lord’s army. Jesus’ chosen ones. The ones who have offered themselves. They were standing alert and bright eyed yet relaxed, dressed in the clothes of our own young generation; boardies, tees, jeans, sweats. Clothed with Christ. Each carried a slingshot and a few small stones; these were their weapons, the Words of God himself. Ready. Jesus. Jesus is the Word of God.

As I watched, a clear line appeared in the earth between the two armies. "Lord" I asked, "what is the line?" 

"That line represents the greatest advance Satan will ever make against humankind in all of history, see, his demons have almost reached that far. We will see greater advance but they cannot go beyond the bounds I have set, which you can see". As I continued to watch the Lord went on: “the demonic forces have never been better equipped. You can see no weapons in their hands. They will fight with every weapon from the present age:

* media power of Fairfax and Murdoch and other mammoth conglomerates
* behaviour examples set by celebrities and royalty
* radical attitudes and behaviours espoused in today’s music
* corruption of promiscuity, homosexuality, abortion and sexually transmitted diseases
* loss of purpose and death from drug use
* chemicals and additives in food and drink causing allergies and illnesses
* corporate, executive and government greed for wealth and power
* cultural demands for conformity and "political correctness".

In my spirit I knew that the final battles are now, they will continue long and hard. Many who were represented in this vision will die fighting, as many around the world are dying daily for Jesus and his gospel. My overwhelming emotion was one of gratitude and hope and awe; the church is rising up, Jesus is assembling his forces. Victory, already won in the heavens, is assured on the earth. We can rejoice, even as we commit everything for our Lord. Praise God, Father, Son and Spirit.

Amen.

Smallest Thing – T5

Testimony 5: 1988: Even The Smallest Thing

"He who did not spare His own Son, but gave Him up for us all - how will He not also, along with Him, graciously give us all things?" (Romans 8:32)

During a two year period when we lived in the U.S.A. we went on holiday to Rhode Island. We found a lot of Christian activity there so took advantage, seeing as I didn't have to go to work every day.

One night as we were preparing to go out Trish had a really rotten headache. We battled through and got the kids ready and we were nearly out the door when Trish said that her headache was so bad there was no point going. I was a typical husband. Now? She tells me now? We are all set to go! I said I would ask Jesus to heal her head. I had no faith but was going through the motions, I don't even know why. So I laid my hand on her head, my memory is that we were standing in a doorway upstairs. I prayed quickly. Then I dashed off to do the next thing.

Within minutes we were in the car and heading out. I asked Trish how her head was. Fine. Completely fine. Jesus healed her despite the lack of faith, despite the casual approach, despite the rush. And, as Trish has said, this was really not a very important thing. But He did it. A gift. Because He chose to. He even gives parking places! Jesus our King. 

Hallelujah!

Jesus Calls Me – T4

Testimony 4 - (1985)
Jesus Call Me To Himself

We were expecting our third baby when we attended an Anglican charismatic conference in Manjimup (a country town in the Southwest of Western Australia). This was where I finally gave in to Jesus.

The keynote speaker was Father Terry, then the parish priest at St Paul's, Darien, Connecticut in the USA. Terry talked about John Baptist announcing that Jesus would come and baptise His people with the Holy Spirit and with fire, and what this means in the light of the Book of Acts, the Gospels, the New Covenant and the whole Word of God. He was talking about the charismatic element in Christian life and the life of the Church.

By now Trish, my wife, had been an enthusiastic born again Christian for a few years, but I was not. In truth I was "sitting on the fence", with one foot either side. Really I just went along, I enjoyed the singing and fellowship. We were familiar with "life in the Spirit" that was why we were at this conference.

Terry's teaching was very compelling, it had a certain academic and scriptural rigour, I saw things more clearly than I had previously. On the Saturday night, as we drove to our friend's house where we were staying, I told Trish that for my birthday I wanted one of the new NIV Bibles. She immediately asked "so you are ready to give your heart to Jesus then?" "No", I replied, "not yet", I knew that I would have to bow my knee to Jesus when I became Christian, and I didn't think I was able to do that. "Maybe next year".

Next morning we did Sunday Church at the conference. At one point Terry asked if there were any present who wanted to give their heart to Jesus that day, who wanted to become Christian right then and there. I had thought this through the previous night so stood quietly, a bystander, with my hands clasped behind me. Soon, very clearly, I felt strong fingers encircle my right wrist and tug me backwards. "Very funny", I thought. Trish had gone out to check that our kids were ok; no doubt this was her having fun with me as she returned to her seat. Imagine my surprise when I turned and nobody was there. No Trish. No-one was near enough to have reached out to touch me.

Who held my wrist? Who tugged my arm? In my innermost self I knew that it was Jesus. "Come now", He seemed to be saying, "don't wait till next year, I want you now".

Straight away I went to the front, I did whatever was asked of me, probably I prayed a "sinner's prayer", it was all just "extra"; I already had said "yes", I already knew that I belonged to Jesus, I was in a cloud of love. I was almost forty-three years old.

I have never for a minute doubted that Jesus actually came and took hold of my arm, and drew me to Himself. No matter how tough things have gotten over the years: how my life seemed to be inconsequential, how I was unemployed for long periods, how spiritually I was stuck, how I seemed not to be growing in Christ, not going anywhere for years at a time ..

Trish and I had serious trouble with our marriage for a time. My memory is that neither of us moved out because we both wanted to keep the children. Truth be told, I was more scared of God, who had given me Trish, than I was of Trish herself. After much prayer we decided to link up with Jesus into a three strand cord (Ecclesiastes 4:12). He has kept us together, bonding us ever stronger and closer.

Now, thirty (in July 2010) years later, I see Jesus' plans for me, for Trish, our marriage, our family, our salvation, and His Kingdom, all working out. There was never no progress. But it was always His progress. It is His plan, He equips and makes ready in His own time. Patience and perseverance are fruits of Holy Spirit (Galatians 5:22). We do not grow and become patient by living only in gratification. God is love (1 John 4:16), Jesus is Lord (Romans 10:9).

Amen.

Our Lord Will – T3

Testimony 3 (1983)

Our Lord Will Find A Way

I got this fantastic job where the computer people were located in the countryside near the mine, instead of in the State capital as was the normal practice. We would move south in a few months time.

We wanted to buy a beautiful country place to raise our kids, that was the whole idea! But first we needed our equity from our two city properties . . .

A couple of years previously we had bought this lovely family house when we were expecting Thomas, our firstborn. Because of the market we couldn't sell our apartment, so had bought the house on a bridging loan. We had to sell an apartment and a house in a slow, depressed market. We were very reluctant to lower our prices because we needed their cash equity . . .

Our real estate agents were discouraged and discouraging. . it looked like we would head south leaving two managed properties and having to rent down there with no roots anywhere. The men at Trish's church were sympathetic to the times and the difficulties; "pray", they said, "when there's nothing else to do, all we can do is pray". "How? I don't know how to pray" I replied. So they made it plain: Father God already knows everything, simply talk to him every day, find a quiet place, tell him what you want, talk detail, which houses, how much money, what conditions, what dates. 

As I learned more about our movements, I was to pass these details on to Father God in our daily talks. I found this very hard. I did not have a quiet time in my day where I could give that time to our Father and Jesus. In the event I prayed in the shower; we had a shower with a window looking down from our house, over the trees and roofs of two suburbs to our "ocean glimpses". It was one of my favourite places. At first it felt strange praying while naked and soaping up and shampooing but I got over that. I stumbled over the words. God didn't care, He is our Father, after all! Love and intimacy is what He does!

Soon we found a really dynamic real estate agent, Richard Ridge. We called him "Ridgy Didge"; this is an Australian expression which means "a real straight shooter, a keen, hard working person, a person who can cut through to the essence". This was good. Ridgey Didge went to work.

On the day we moved South for my work, the apartment was finalised, money went into our bank. On the Friday of that same week the house finalised, that money also went into our bank. We got excellent prices for both properties so were able to buy our country acres. Miracles! The Lord gave us rainbows over our land; we called our hobby farm "Rainbow Downs".
