Latest Prayer Update


Since writing last –
We continue to pray about the tent meeting but the Lord seems to continue to have that on hold as I believe he has another way of doing the same thing but in a new way where the whole body will be used and so we wait until all the pieces come together.  Please be patient with us in this.

Africa – We continue to have words given to us about Africa and so the Lord is definitely talking about Africa but he seems to be widening the vision with it all, not just Malawi.  It seems more like at this stage visiting a number of African Countries wherever the Lord leads, empowering people – a bit like the last China trip but for longer and more countries and so too we wait for all the pieces to fit together. He has said to have our bags packed ready to go at a moments notice and so we have done that by faith, there are just a few other things that need to come together to make this possible.  

Picton – We were blessed to be part of a team that went to Picton to minister in different ways.  Jim and I spoke at two services in the Anglican Church and then again on the Wednesday night in a special meeting open to all the churches.   The other two ladies that were part of the team, taught on the prophetic/seer anointing and on dreams and interpretation.
This was a wonderful time and the Lord really touched the people he brought.  People were healed again physically and emotionally, God speaking personally to people. 
I have started a blog site where I am putting some of my teachings and thoughts that come up so all can access when they want to and so what the Lord was speaking about there can be accessed now on:

Where we are at right now:
Jim and I have been in quite a frustrating place and I was saying to someone last night, it feels like I am a pregnant mother who is two weeks overdue in the baby being birthed and it’s about time it came out!  But in that the Lord is still teaching me things and continues to remind me to ‘rest’ and just enjoy my relationship with him and not worry about other things, that he is bringing everything together.  So I would ask for your prayer in this.  Frustration in the waiting seems to be the button that gets pushed in me.  And we all know that if a baby is born too early it lacks some developmental area that it needs and I don’t want that.  There have been times of recent that we have nearly bailed out on the vision and dream and gone back to full time work,  but when we are in that place the Lord in some way or through some person speaks to us and keeps us heading toward the goal.   We also see things a certain way but the Lord fulfils his word completely, it may just be in a different way than we see.

Last month we asked you to pray about the release of finances and in that we have been looking for part time work but nothing has come up in this area although there may be some milkings’ for Jim in September.  We have advertised for someone to rent out part of our home, which can be a self-contained unit, but to this point no one has taken it on – so if you know of anyone who needs a bit of space in the country, please put them in contact with us.  But the Lord has given us a breakthrough in this whole area of just trusting in Him.  It has really been a process but coming into the freedom of that which is wonderful, its not my problem, it’s the Lords – my Fathers, and he has never left us without provision.
We have done all that we can do and now the Lord has to do His part.  It’s all how we see the provision and so we look forward to His provisions.  So thank you for praying with us last month to see a break through in this area.  We haven’t seen the finances come in yet (a little has) but we have seen a breakthrough in my peace in trusting the Lord in this area and coming back into the child-like trust that the Lord needs us to be in otherwise I am actually sitting in unbelief and not trust and belief.

The dream
We have these places that are saying, “come” – not churches as such (although there are some new doors opening up in that area), but groups of people or individuals, who are wanting more of the Lord.  The Lord has really put on us a call of ‘fire-lighting’ all over the place, of reopening the wells that have been covered over for whatever reason, wherever that may be, whether its with someone having coffee, whether its with a small group in a home, whether its in larger gatherings or churches, whether its in China or Africa or Siberia, whether its to missionaries who need life in their darkest hour or whether its teaching truth that sets people free or teaching people to walk in the power of God.  Our heart is to see the body of Christ wherever that may be being a people of power in their place, in their world to win the world.

Well the Lord opens the way for this to happen in the right time and the baby I mentioned earlier is about to break forth – the cry to ‘go’ is getting so strong but in order for that to break forth we need to some other provisions come in certain areas and we would ask for your prayer for this.  God’s timing is amazing and he makes everything beautiful in His time that fits with everyone.



So another area of provision that needs prayer: - Kate
She of course is our biggest priority and the Lords and previously the timing was not right for us to go for longer periods of time than we have for her sake but we believe the Lord is releasing us more to be on the move and she too is now ready for us to go.  So whether this is a week here, or a week there, or a month here, or there, or full time boarding, these are the questions we are asking of the Lord.  We need to see a home open up for Kate who loves her and understands the call on us and on her and would be a stable place for her to come and go depending on what the Lord does or………For some reason I feel like where we live now is ‘home’ for the first time ever, and don’t ‘feel’ like we are to leave permanently, but to come and go from this place.  So that being the case we would need someone in the house with Kate whenever we would go or a place she can go to for periods of time that would be a stable place.  She turns 16 on the 13th of this month.:)

Thank you for standing with us in prayer on this.

Dates on calendar for prayer:

·      This coming weekend 4th Sept. we are sharing at the services in Te Awamutu Presbyterian Church

Thank you so much everyone, please check out the blogsite and join on and hopefully be uplifted more in the Lord than what I can write in this also I think we will end up using that from wherever we may be.

With love,
Jim & Sarah

Obedience and Commitment are big things in Gods Kingdom

Reading in Acts 7 this morning the story through Stephen of Abraham being told by God to " Leave your country and your people and go the the land I will show you"   So he left the land of the Chaldeans and settled in Haran. After the death of his father, God sent him to this land where you are now living.  He gave him no inheritance here, not even a foot of ground.  But God promised him that he and his descendants after him would possess the land, even though at that time Abraham had no child." As I reflected on this and the journey of Abraham stepping out in faith into a land that he received no inheritance in but a promise of what was to come for his descendants of which we live in the fruit of that, I thought of todays generations in which often is only doing things that we want to do or that will benefit us personally as we live for 'today' not worrying about tomorrow.  A sense of if it feels good then do it, if it doesn't then we will move on -  perhap

There is an army rising up!

Are you struggling in your family?  Are you struggling with people in the body of Christ?  Keep going in love and you will see the breakthroughs you long for. Over the past few months the Lord has been showing me some scenes where the enemy has been trying to attack and destroy families, and so I believe it is a time where we need to be alert of the devils schemes and counter attack with the truth and the love of God.   Three areas we ourselves as a ministry are currently contenting for breakthrough in are: 1.   the unity of the body of Christ,  2.  for whole families to come to Christ 3.  for mental health issues to be overcome .... and so of course the enemy wants to come and try and destroy in whatever way He can within churches, within families, in individuals and so I/we need to be alert to the schemes of the enemy.   Romans 12:21    "Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good." One vision I share with you I had before Christmas.  I had this vision

6 legged sheep???

In the weekend I saw a vision of a sheep that had six legs. And what I believe the Lord is saying, there are many sheep, (followers of Christ), but they are trusting in their own strength and not in mine.  When we trust in our own strength and abilities we forfeit the grace that can be ours, the enabling that comes from stepping out in faith in the impossible, the testimonies that give God the glory rather than the expectation of what should be because we have put our hand to  something.  God is the God of the impossible and in order for the miracles, the testimonies, we need to be a people that step out in what we can't do and allow God to come in and do the impossible.   That may simply be asking the Lord to help you to forgive someone that has hurt you so much, to getting on a plane with no finances because the Lord has asked you to, to continue to stay in a job/church/marriage/relationship you don't want to because that is where God has placed you, to praying for a

Meerkats may be cute, but they can be dangerous.

This morning I saw in a dream I was in a car with some people travelling along and they saw a bunch of meerkats that they thought were cute and they invited them into the car.  I was trying to tell them not to let them in, but they continued to let them in.  And then shortly after that I saw another very cute animal that people wanted to pick up and cuddle, but it too was a very dangerous animal that would cause harm. As I was asking the Lord about it and I got the scripture; "There is a way that appears to be right, but in the end it leads to death" Prov 14:12 For myself personally I am looking at next year and praying and asking the Lord for the plans for next year as many of you leaders may be doing the same.  We can continue with what seems right and good, and has gone well in the past, but I believe the Lord is saying, be careful as what you think may seem right and good, actually may cause harm. I encourage you, especially Pastors and Leaders, don't necessar

Is the church a cafe? Did you go to be served or to serve?

I had a dream this morning where I saw that I was working in a cafe.   It was busy, there were people coming and going and we didn’t have everything we needed, we still needed a barista, some customers were helping cook the steak for the hamburgers that Jim was cooking as Jim was rushed off his feet. We needed people to serve the people coming in as I was dealing with all the different ones coming and going.   I saw that people were sitting down in a seat but actually weren’t there to get food, they were just using the seats even though they were not using the cafe.   I saw a council officer come in to inspect things and she saw we still needed a barista and she knew people and was going to help us to find one. There was an older man there who was smoking a cigar and I was keen to have a drag off his cigar. People were wandering through our private home at the back of the cafe.   The cafe remained open because people kept coming.   But I was shown that if I didn’t put time limits on t

"A man's enemies will be the members of his own household" Matt 10:36

Recently we have been pondering how to deal with situations in our family that don't line up with the word. What action do we need to take?  Are we being too harsh?  Do we accept the behaviour or be considered by those around us as "too radical" or "too black and white"?  "Where is grace in all of this? How do we love the sinner but hate the sin?  What about forgiveness?  What is the role of discipline?   What makes that sin any worse than lying?  What is true love?  And there are a lot more questions going through the mind in how to work through this and know God's will and desire for the situation and the person. And firstly to say we have not come to any conclusions and are growing and learning day by day in this but I want to throw it out there. In Matt 10:34-39 says "Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth.  I did not come to bring peace, but a sword.  For I have come to turn "a man against his father, a daughter
