My dearest South Africa. How My
heart longs for you. People have gone astray, even those claiming
to be righteous. The cry to 'turn back' had an impact for a while,
but My people returned to following their own ways. Hatred is
prevalent, and not only amongst those that actually act upon it.
Negative speech is mostly what comes from people's lips; don't you
yet realise that life and death is in the power of the tongue?
Corruption has infiltrated all levels of society and people do not
even think it is wrong anymore. Laws are broken on a daily basis
and not only by criminals, but by many so-called Christians, either
cheating on their tax return or driving over red lights.
The time has come for My children
to stand up and live in the truth about themselves. I came to set
you free from bondage; I came to liberate the captives. I came to
give you My righteousness as a gift to take. I came to create a new
person inside of you. I came to make all things new. Stand up in
the newness of life that is proclaimed over you. This newness of
life is what you are destined for. Come and sit at My right hand,
come and let Me teach you. Give your life over to Me and allow My
love to flow through you. Allow more of Me to fill you, allow My
life to infiltrate every cell of your being. Once I am the One you
focus on and the One you follow, all else will start to fall into
place. You will start to focus your sights on the realities of
heaven; you will start to live in a realm that is above your own.
You will start to look at life through My eyes. My love will start
to flow through you to others. You will shower them with My love
and it won't be hard for you to do, because it will be Me
flowing through you, My mighty power changing lives.
You will obey the laws of the land,
because I am a God of order living inside of you. You will speak
life and not death, because My river of life-giving water is
bubbling on the inside of you. You will not be corrupt, because
money will have no hold over you anymore. You will start to realise
that all I have is yours, and because it is, you are rich without
measure. You will bubble over with My goodness and share My Good
News with your children and family, not as a set of rules and do's
and don'ts, but as a way of life. My love bubbling within you will
cause your children to fall in love with Me as well. There is so
much power in families praying together and when you are filled
with Me, it will flow out of you. You will also radiate Me on the
sports field, whilst talking politics, while at work, whilst doing
homework. I will shine and you will start to glow.
That is what I want for South
Africa. People on fire for Me. People living in My realm. People
filled with Me. People overflowing with My love. Then I see a
river, springing up from sources all around the country, trickling
up, joining one another, flowing into a bigger stream, flowing into
yet another stream, flowing into a river, into a mighty river,
until the dam walls break and deliverance comes to all. Only My
life-giving water can do that. Only My bubbling spring can
accomplish wonders. And it all starts with one soul, ready to give
his life over to Me. There are many more than 10 souls in this
country who are prepared to do that, I know. I wouldn't have
destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah if there were ten righteous people.
And today I proclaim that I will not destroy South Africa, because
there are more than ten. I want to be merciful, but more than that
I want to bless you. But it is in your hands. Are you going to come
to Me? Are you going to drink Me in? Come, I have the life-giving
water, come and drink. Then you will be like trees alongside the
riverbank, always green and always full of life. Take hold of that
life and spread it all around, just there where you are. People
need to see My love in action, and as My hands and feet, you are
the perfect vessel.
Also stand and proclaim victory
over your enemy the Devil. He is in charge of all that is evil and
his plans are filled with strife and hardship. Stand up against him
and proclaim My victory. Be like David that proclaimed victory over
Goliath as he approached him. Proclaim that I am in charge,
proclaim that I am fighting for you and you will see wonders. Stand
somewhere today and proclaim this over 'Goliath' in South
Africa:
"You come to me with sword,
spear, and javelin, but I come to you in the Name of the Lord
Almighty - the God of the armies of Israel (South Africa), whom you
have defied. Today the Lord will conquer you, and I will kill you
and cut off your head (spiritually we have overcome the Devil
because of the work of Christ). And then I will give the dead
bodies of your men to the birds and wild animals, and the whole
world will know that there is a God in Israel (South Africa)! And
everyone will know that the Lord does not need weapons to rescue
His people. It is His battle, not ours. The Lord will give you to
us!" 1 Samuel 17:45-47
Rejoice! I am in charge. Be filled
with wonder at My mighty power. I am the King of kings and the Lord
of lords, the One who loves to love. I am your Bridegroom, eagerly
looking forward to our wedding day. Be filled with anticipation,
look up to Me, and fall in love with Me all over again. Then My
love will change it all. My love will free South Africa from all
bondage, My love flowing through you, will bring healing and
restoration.
"This is what the Lord says: Do
not be afraid! Don't be discouraged by this mighty army, for the
battle is not yours, but God's. You will not even need to fight.
Take your positions; then stand still and watch the Lord's victory.
He is with you, O people of Judah and Jerusalem (South Africa). Do
not be afraid or discouraged. Go out there tomorrow, for the Lord
is with you!" 2 Chronicles 20:15, 17
