The Tide Has Turned

“The Tide Has Turned!”



To my Dear Brothers and Sisters in the Lord,

2007, the Year of Recovery and the Open Door!

Welcome my friends to another awesome year. For many of us in the body of Christ, 2006 was a year of shaking and re-arranging. Our Jobs, ministry positions, houses, and even countries have been re-arranged and moved around in our lives (just as the prophets foretold). Praise God for it! Even though for some of us it was the toughest year of our lives, we can rest in assurance that;

“All things work together for good for those who love God and are called according to His purposes” (Romans 8:28)

The Lord has spoken at the end of last year and decreed that this year, 2007, is the year of the Open Door and the time to Recover all. The time, the money, the peace, the love, the relationships, our health and any thing else that has been stolen from you can be recovered this year. The Lord has sent forth a Royal Decree authorizing His children to recover all. Just as David at Ziklag pursued the enemy at the Word of the Lord and recovered all that was stolen and more besides, so too will all who believe the Word of the Prophets and put their faith towards recovering all. We cannot just sit back and expect this to happen, we need to pursue our enemy and recover all. We don’t do this in using natural means, but rather the ways of the Kingdom of Heaven.

“For our weapons of warfare are not carnal, (natural or earthy) but mighty and powerful through God for the pulling down of strongholds.” (2 Corinthians 10:4)

Our weapon is the Word of Truth, which when we use it to bring every thought into captivity that is contrary to the knowledge of who God is and what He has done for us it brings manifestation of His promises to us. When God decreed that we can recover all, then we CAN recover all. The enemy will try to make your circumstances look like he is in control, this is when we need to start to speak God’s promise to us and stand fast to the truth of His Word and push back the enemy, the ways of natural man and the lies of the world so we can manifest the recovery of all. I tell you the truth, the devil will not give it over without a fight, and therefore we MUST know that we have the victory already. David had to fight to recover all he and his men lost to the Amalekites, he was assured the victory for the Lord told him to pursue and he would surely recover all. So too has he told us to pursue and recover all: THIS IS THE YEAR OF RECOVERY!

SO PURSUE AND RECOVER…..

The Lord says, behold I have placed before you an open door that no man can shut, walk through the door and enter into your rest.

This is truly the year of the open door. The Lord has opened the door of health, wealth and fullness of life to all who believe and will walk through the open door. We the church are positioned at the far side of the Jordan and the Lord is saying to us the same as He said to the Israelites in Deuteronomy 8:1.

“All the commandment I command you this day you shall be watchful to do, that you may live and multiply and GO IN and possess the land which the Lord swore to your fathers.”

God wants us to go in and possess His promises. He wants us to live a life of safety and blessing, but it doesn’t come automatically. Too often Christians expect God to do everything for them. God has done all that He ever needs to do for us. He has wrought the victory over sin, sickness, death and all that the curse brought upon mankind and has sealed it and empowered that victory to us through His Word. It is not God working miracles daily for us, but rather the power of His Word still working even now, day by day bringing forth the miraculous for all who stand and believe on His Word. Jesus said on the cross that it is finished. He completed the work 2,000 years ago and through the power of His Word spoken on the cross; the miraculous is still being brought forth daily. Every time we step out on the Word of God, believing that it shall come to pass, it enables God to do what His Word says, for He watches over His Word to perform it. His Word has not lost any of its power or authority.

It is of vital necessity that we learn to trust in His Word and believe to the very end, not being swayed by what we see, but by what the Word of God says.

The tide has turned for the Church in Australia and the bread that has been thrown on the waters is returning multiplied to those who enter through His opened door. Are you one that will lay hold of the promise of God this year and go through your open door? Don’t let fear and intimidation stop you from possessing all that God has for you this year, go through, go through and recover all.

I encourage you to make it your priority this year to seek the Lord for His leading and guiding, for just as Abraham found, God leads us into places we have never been before. Trust Him completely, don’t let the enemy blind you, he is a defeated foe. Victory is assured through Jesus, so enter through His open door.


May the Lord bless you mightily!



Your Brother in Christ,

John Olsen.

“He has called you by name!”



To my Dear Brothers and Sisters in the Lord,

Rejoice in the Lord and again I say Rejoice!

My friends, God has a wonderful plan and a destiny for your life. Before you were formed in your mother’s womb He knew you. He had fellowship, intimate knowledge and acquaintance with you. You and He were companions, entwined in heart and passions, every desire that was yours came from Him and every thing about you He arranged to show forth His Glory through you.

Some of you reading this are weary, tired of the fighting in ministry, battles over the flesh, the strain of lack and the effort of family life. The end of this long hard year is coming rapidly to a close and the things you thought would happen have not yet materialized. It is time my friend to sit at His feet and listen. Listen to Him as He whispers His Words of life and love over you. Listen to Him singing over you His blessings and peace. He longs to tell you once more of all that you are to be for Him. What we do for God is not important to Him, but rather what we become in Him. Who we are is far greater than what we do for it is only out of the abundance of our hearts (who we are) that we can truly give life to others.
God knows you better then you do. He knows everything you are capable of doing, and He knows the value of who you can become. You are called to be Kings and Queens of the heavenly realm, people of authority reigning with dominion over life and all that it tries to throw at you. He has called you to be over abundantly supplied so that you can supply those around you with good things; Houses, cars, fridges, freezers, Washers, driers, holidays, money, clothes, food and much, much more. He knows what you are capable of handling, the question is not whether He is ready to supply, but rather are you ready to receive? Remember that a delay is not a denial, do not let go of His promise He has given through His Word. Your day is coming, prepare yourself for it.

When the Father called you to walk with Him, He called you by name. This intimate fellowship is what the Father is seeking with you right now.

“He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes I will give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give to him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knows except he who receives it.”
(Rev 2:17)


The Lord not only called you by name, but He also called you by your new name. Just as Jacob the supplanter, the twister became Israel meaning He will rule as God, so too do we have a new name given us by God. Saul became Paul, Simon become Peter, Abram became Abraham and all of them had a change in their lives after receiving their true name from God. All of us have been given names, maybe you have heard some of them; stupid, idiot, slacker, bum, good-for-nothing, embarrassment, short, weak, too loud, clumsy, useless, sinner, adulterer, drunkard, liar, fraud, double-minded, cheat, pauper, sick, lame, blind, hurt. These are just a few that the world has called us all over the years, both our fathers’ and our fathers’ fathers’. Praise be to God who has called us by name; loved, joyful, peaceful, saved, safe, secure, His children, worthy, beautifully and wondrously made, the apple of His eye, My beloved, spotless, pure, Holy, sanctified, wealthy, healed, restored, faithful, redeemed. These are just some of the names He has called us. Allow Him to speak over you and replace your old names with His new names. See ourself as He sees you. Think of yourself as He does and embrace the call on your live that He has given you.

You are beautifully and wonderfully made. Don’t allow any one to rob you of who you are in Him. He has called you by name. Walk tall; confident and assured of your place as a King or Queen of Heaven. Take time to listen, take time to allow Him to sing over you, take time to grow in intimacy with Him, take time to meditate on your new name…


Revive us again oh Lord, speak unto us mysteries and reveal to us things to come….

May the Lord bless you mightily!


Your Brother in Christ,

John Olsen.

“It’s Time for Kingdom Manifestation”



To my Dear Brothers and Sisters in the Lord,


Praise the Lord, for He is good and His mercy endures forever! Our God is a good God and he has wonderful plans in mind for us His children. He wants us to be blessed in all that we say and do. Blessed in our homes, blessed at our workplaces, blessed in our relationships, blessed, blessed, blessed, blessed, blessed! He has got you and me on His mind, and He desires us to come to a deeper understanding of who He is in us, and who we are in Him.


The cry has gone out across throughout the realm of the spirit.


IT’S TIME FOR DEMONSTRATION OF THE KINGDOM!


The coming of our Lord and Christ is dependant on only one thing according to Matthew 24 vs 14; the proclamation of the gospel of the Kingdom unto the entire world for a witness! This word witness means “evidence of “or “as a testimony of”, so when we put that together with the preaching of the good news of the Kingdom of God we see that the Good News of Gods’ Kingdom coming to earth will be demonstrated with evidence to that fact. When we His children, the Royal Priesthood, Ambassadors for the King of Kings start demonstrating how the Kingdom of God is good news to those who are in darkness, we prepare the way for the coming of the Lord.

Many believe that the return of Jesus is not far off. But for this to be a reality, the kingdom of God MUST be preached with the demonstration of Power.


“For the Kingdom of God is not in word, but in POWER” -1 Corinthians 4 vs 11


The apostle Paul understood this power more than any other believer at the time. He demonstrated this wonderful, miracle working power everywhere he went. The demonized were delivered, the sick healed, the blind were able to see and the ways of the Kingdom were preached and taught to all the early church as the Spirit gave revelation. I tell you the truth, eye has not seen nor ear heard the good things that God has laid up for those who love Him and are called according to His purposes, but Praise God for the Holy Spirit and His marvelous word which reveal these mysteries of the Kingdom unto us. God has not hidden these wonderful truths from us, but has laid them up for us.

I tell you the truth, God has a higher way of living for His children and sadly many Christians don’t know the difference between the ways of the Kingdom and the ways of the World. Jesus himself said that the children of this world are wiser than the children of light, for they know how to work their system. The time has come and is now upon us for the ways of the Kingdom to become commonplace in the lives of the believers. We must as a vital necessity transfer our ways out of that of the world, over into the ways of the Kingdom of God. We must start to look to the Word of God for our answers, our wisdom, our guidance and our lifestyle and to depend wholly on the Father for our peace, our healing and our provision. We must take time to build an intimate relationship with the Holy Spirit, learning to hear and understand His voice and His leadings. We must become quick to obey and quick to believe.


Luke 14 vs 33 says very plainly what it means to become a disciple of Jesus;


“So then, every one of you who does not forsake all that he has, he cannot be My disciple.”


Does he mean for us to give away everything that we have? Not unless He tells you directly I think not. Jesus here was not just talking about physical assets, but more so the knowledge and understanding of the ways of this world. If we are to live a life of health and prosperity as God intended it from the beginning in pure unbroken fellowship with the Father, then we must let go of the wisdom that man has taught us. I dare say we even need to throw away some of the things those who have gone before us have taught. If it does not line up with the Word of God, then we must see it as being of human origin and of no spiritual blessing what so-ever. Carnal, earthy things are directly opposite to the things of the Spirit. Where man says it can’t be done, God says that nothing is impossible. Where the doctors pronounce death through sickness and disease, God has already healed the whole earth, forgiven the whole earth and made a way in which the whole earth can step back into the blessing that Adam, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and Jesus walked in.


When we see the Kingdom of God made manifest through our own lives, we will see the blind eyes opened, the deaf ears hearing, the maimed to be made whole, those who are poor to be made rich, those who are weak made strong and those who live in fear and without hope to experience the Love of the Father and be free from fear and living a life of hope. Is this possible? Can the poor become rich, the maimed whole, and so on? What does the Word of God say about it?


Let’s take a look:--

  • The Children of Israel (while under a covenant that was not as glorious as ours) walked out of slavery in a day not only healed and in full health (for there were none feeble among them) but also rich (taking spoil of the Egyptians of all their wealth).
  • King Jehoshaphat came up against the armies of foreign Kings and they were delivered into their hands without a single child of God having to fight, and they took three days to gather the fine jewelry and precious things that the armies where carrying with them. (estimated at over a billion dollars worth)
  • When Jesus came preaching the good news of the Kingdom, he opened the eyes of the blind, opened the ears of the deaf, made the maimed whole again, made the lame to walk again, healed all those oppressed of the devil and even brought a financial multiplication to a group of fishermen like they never experienced before or after.

  • By His wounds you have been healed: Yet for our sake He became poor, so that we might be rich. For all who believe on His name shall be saved.


Have we truly laid hold of all that God has blessed us with? Have we received that which Jesus has already purchased on the cross for us? Are you and I walking in a life that is free from sin, free from all forms of sickness and disease and are we living a life without lack? If we are not then we need to start to find these promises in the Word and start believing them for ourselves. God has a higher life that He wants us to live in. It has already been purchased through the wok of the cross and is available for you and I if we only believe and if we will dare to receive it.


I encourage you to start dreaming again. Take the limitations off your dreams and allow the limitless God to expand your capacity to believe. Nothing is impossible to God. His Kingdom ways are available to all His children. We must of a necessity seek first (make it the highest priority in our lives) His Kingdom and His righteousness, for when we do, all the desires and dreams that God has placed in our hearts will come to pass right before our very eyes.

Now may the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ rest heavily upon you. May favor and blessings walk hand in hand with you as your constant companion and may you experience revival and reformation in your lives like never before.


Your Brother in Christ,

John Olsen.

“The Grace Awakening”



To my Dear Brothers and Sisters in the Lord,


Hallelujah! What a wondrous saviour and glorious heavenly Father we have!. May His joy and peace permeate every area of your lives as you focus on Him.

What a marvelous time we are living in my friends. There has never been a time like it in the history of the world. Never before has mankind stood on the threshold of the greatest manifestation of the Glory of the Lord like we are now. Our heavenly Father, our dearest Daddy is readying His children for the great end time harvest and is preparing the Bride of Christ, His church for the return of the Bridegroom. There is an awakening that is happening across the body of Christ in Australia of the unmerited Grace and Mercy of God.

Many of our brothers and sisters are being awakened in their hearts and minds of God’s wonderful grace towards us. It is not found through our effort, but it is a sovereign move of Grace from the throne toward us His children so that we can understand His heart of love for us. It reveals the very nature of Christianity itself, that no matter what we do to try and earn favour with God, it gains us nothing. His love and mercy toward us is a free gift. No one can add to it, and no one can reduce its power toward us. He loves you and I so much that He takes it upon himself to not only supply us with a way of coming into right relationship with Him, but also empowers us, changes us, moulds us and makes us capable of living for Him. There is not a person on earth who can please the Father on their own. We all must accept His wonderful gift of grace and allow Him to lead and guide our lives within His perfect will.

Far too often we as children try to do things in our own strength. We do exploits for God, without hearing from God as to what, when and how He wants us to do things. There is a way which seems right to a man but only leads to death, and even in the things of God, if we try and go before God into what He wants for our lives, it can add additional burdens to our walk with Him. We may lose some of our peace, or joy, our health or even our harvest when we don’t consult with the Father first. Our Lord and master Jesus only did and said what he heard the Father say and do and as His disciples we must follow in His footsteps and only do and say what we have heard Him do and say. This is also of grace, for it is only by His grace that we can come to know His will and it is only by the empowerment of the Holy Spirit and His living word indwelling us that we can do what we are impressed of Him to do. I urge you my brothers and sisters, allow Him to flood you with His grace. Allow Him to empower you with His Holy Spirit and His divine all powerful Word of Life. It is FREE and it is for all who are weary and heavy laden. All who are hungry and thirsty He will satisfy, all who humble themselves before His throne of Grace will be lifted up. Come before Him with hungry hearts, make your requests known to Him for He longs to satisfy your every desire and need. Lose yourself in His wondrous presence and experience His love and mercy as you seek His face.

Several weeks ago while in the Spirit, I saw a vision of a wave of great magnitude coming steadily towards our city. It was many times the height of our tallest building and as I watched this unfolding before my eyes, the wave swept through the city of Brisbane. It was not like a natural wave however for the surge did no damage to buildings or people, yet it engulfed the lot of them. Nor did it sweep through and then die away. As it moved it seemed to linger in the city and spread out through the suburbs in a steady, unhurried manner. It did not stop moving nor did its pace slacken. Then the vision finished.
To start with, I felt that it was the wave of the Holy Spirit and the revival fire that was prophesied, and I believe that it is indeed that, but more so I believe that it is the Grace of God coming like an unstoppable force to this country. The Grace awakening has begun and the force of His great Grace is coming upon us.

Let us cry out to Him who is faithful to perform His word in our great country and let us see the might harvest of souls come in to the Kingdom to the Glory of God. Let us stand with our faces turned toward Him and expect His grace to flood over us and sweep us away into mighty adventures in Him. Lift up your eyes, from where does your help come? It comes from the Lord. Cry out to Him while there is still time to catch the wave of His grace. Let us be ready for it so we are not overpowered by it when it comes, but rather like a surfer on His board who is paddling towards the wave, be ready to be lifted up and ride it out until the very end.


Now may the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ rest upon you. May His favor and blessings walk with you as your constant companion and may you experience revival and reformation in your lives like never before.

Your Brother in Christ,

John Olsen.

“Arise, shine; for your light has come, and the Glory of the Lord has risen upon you.

“For Behold, darkness will cover the earth, and deep darkness the peoples; but the Lord will rise upon you, and His Glory will appear upon you.

“And nations will come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your rising.”




To my Dear Brothers and Sisters in the Lord,


Grace and peace be unto you more and more as you partake in the grace that is from above. May the light of His glorious countenance shine upon you as you reflect His glory.

God is indeed doing wondrous things in this great land of ours and indeed in this day and hour right across the face of the earth. IT IS THE TIME FOR THE SONS OF GOD TO BE MADE MANIFEST. The whole earth will see the brightness of our rising and will fear the name of the Lord once more. It is His good purpose and pleasure to give us the heathen as our inheritance and for the hidden things to be brought out into the light.

There has never been a generation like the one living in the earth today, none have received such an outpouring of Grace and the Spirit as we are beginning to experience. My friends, we are just starting to experience the vast measure of the Spirit that the Lord is outpouring upon all who worship Him in Spirit and in Truth. This outpouring will continue to increase steadily with or without you or I for even though we will walk in a manner unlike that which was even in the early church, our children to come will have a double portion of the Holy Spirit, they will be unto us a sign and wonder. Even the very young will be raised up by the Spirit with wisdom, insight and understanding far beyond their natural years. The miraculous will be common place for them, and NOTHING will be too difficult for them through God. We will see them win battles that we have struggled in for years, and they will do it without breaking a sweat.

It is truly time my friends for us, the church to awaken from its slumber. Great evil in its fullest maturity is being let loose across the earth in our time, and we will have to stand to the very end with the Light of His Glory shining in the deep darkness that is now coming upon the people of the earth. It is truly time to arise with the Light of His Glory upon us.


I have a fire to cast upon the earth that has now been kindled. Pray for My fire to come. It will purify the earth. Pray for it to consume the chaff and to purify My chosen ones I gave authority over the earth to man, and therefore I must be asked before I will move on the earth. This is the great purpose of those who walk on the earth, to know Me and My will. Then they can ask for My will to be done on earth as it is done here in heaven, and it will be done.”


Hear the Word of the Lord my friends and cry out to Him in faith for His fire that has been kindled to come upon this great nation of ours. Australia needs the Fire of the Holy Spirit to sweep across its borders, igniting the hearts and minds of men and women, boys and girls to turn them from the ways of destruction and to bring them into the Light of His Glorious Love.

Pray my friends, pray like you have never prayed before! It is time for us to forget the things of this world, its entertainments and distractions and it is time to seek His face and to see His Glory poured forth with Power and Might. Pray with your spirit, pray with your understanding, pray without ceasing, pray until you cannot pray anymore and then pray some more. Pray for His fire to come, pray for the manifestation in us of the Holy Spirit, pray that the Word of God will be preached with boldness and clarity in this dark time. Pray as Paul did, that we may be strengthened with might in our inner man; pray for His Kingdom to be made manifest in and through us. Pray for wisdom and understanding of the ways of the Spirit, pray for the eyes of the blind to be opened and the ears of the deaf to hear, that those bound by the devil and his ways be loosed into freedom and liberty that comes only from the Lord Jesus Christ. PRAY!


These are indeed exciting times. Times of His Glorious Majesty revealed to His Bride the church. My friends we must decide to dedicate ourselves to the meditation of His word, the seeking of His presence and the encouragement of the brethren through the Word of God as we meet together. We must strengthen ourselves in our inner man so that we may be able to stand, not only against the very forces of darkness that are surrounding us, but more so in the increased Glory as He pours it out in ever increasing measure. We cannot and we must not allow ourselves to think that in our current state we will be able to stand and minister His love effectively in the days ahead when His Glory is poured out like fire from heaven. Every minister of the Gospel will be required of the Lord to stand and minister through the Holy Spirit even when all those around are getting intoxicated in the Lord, or falling out because of the magnitude of His Presence in the place. He must increase in us so that we can decrease, until all that is left is the perfect reflection of His beautiful face. Then we will be able to stand face to face with our God like many who walked this land before us have. We must honor the work that God has wrought through the Fathers of Faith in this country and even through those He has brought to this land to speak forth His word and to ask God to release the mighty ones on this earth.

Father we thank you for your great plan of redemption. You love this nation of Australia and have planned unique and Glorious things for its people in these last days. We ask of you to send forth your fire upon us, burn up the chaff in our lives and purify us with your presence. Lord hear the cry of this nation, send rain upon this land and raise up by your Spirit the mighty ones who will go forth from this land in greatness of your power and love to work wonders on the earth. Capture our hearts and our minds, our gaze and our thoughts by your wondrous Word of Life. Breath upon your people in this nation Lord, awaken them to who they really are in the mighty name of Jesus. Jesus send your fire upon us, SEND YOUR FIRE UPON US! We yield to your Holy Spirit, your perfect will Lord use us we pray. Send revival & renewal to our churches and our lives.

Amen!

May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ rest upon you. May favor and blessings walk with you as your constant companion and may you experience revival and reformation in your lives like never before.



Your Brother in Christ,
John Olsen.

"Australia, the Great South Land of HOLY FIRE!"


To my Dear Brothers and Sisters in the Lord,


Grace and peace be unto you more and more as you partake in the grace that is from above. May His life flood through you like a raging fire sweeping through the dry parched land.

There is a call been sent forth across this great South Land of the Holy Spirit. A call to be set apart, a call to forsake the world and embrace the ways of the Kingdom of our Lord Jesus Christ. The trumpet has sounded for the church in Australia to awake from its’ slumber and rise in the power of the Spirit to bring forth revival and reformation into the hearts and minds of multitudes across this land. That which has been prophesied by men filled with God is about to come to pass in our time. We dare not miss it. We cannot afford to allow our time to pass without grabbing hold of it with our whole hearts and minds and laying aside all things that have been weighing us down as a church. It is time NOW! Do not delay any longer, seek the Lord while He may be found. Feel His heart beating for the lost and dying souls of this nation; see His compassion reign down on them as He stretches forth His hand to heal.

“Arise and shine for your light has come and the Glory of the Lord has risen upon you.”

On May 14th of this year it was the 400th anniversary of the declaration by the Portuguese explorer Captain Fernandez de Quiros over this nation by the Holy Spirit of our destiny.

“Let the heavens, the earth,.....and all those here present witness that I Captain Pedro Fernandez de Quiros…… in the name of Jesus Christ…. Whereon He gave His life a ransom and remedy of the human race ….. on this day of Pentecost, 14 May 1606 ….. I, take possession of all this part of the South as far as the Pole in the name of Jesus….. Which from now on shall be called the SOUTHEN LAND OF THE HOLY SPIRIT
and this always and forever… to the end that to all natives, in all the said lands, the Holy sacred evangel may be preached zealously and openly.”

Amen.

Four hundred years have passed since that time. Just as the time between the last time God spoke in the Old Testament (Malachi) till when Jesus was born. The Israelites entered into their promised land after four hundred years of slavery in Egypt. Likewise they were made a sovereign state after four hundreds of rule by the Muslim hordes, the victory secured by 2 groups of 400 Australian Light Horsemen.

I tell you the truth. It is time for Australia to come into its promised land of abundance in the Holy Spirit. This nation will see in the next period of time a turning to the Lord like never before. More and more Christians are going to be urged and pressed hard by the Holy Spirit to give up their apathy and to lay a hold of all that God has for them. They will not settle until they are full to overflowing, and even then they will desire more. We will see the greatest outpouring of the Holy Spirit that the world has ever seen in one place. People will not be able to walk down the street without coming under tremendous conviction of the Holy Spirit for their sins. Men, women and children will be running to the alter to cry out for mercy, where they will find it in abundance. The sick will be healed, the blind eyes opened, the deaf will hear, the lame will walk and the poor will have the gospel preached to them. Believers from all walks of life will be walking in the power of God, baptised with the fire of the Holy Spirit. These are the ones who will be ministering unto the lost and hurting souls of this land. These precious saints will be marching in unity and love across all denominations unconcerned for themselves and what rank they hold, but rather more interested in see others go beyond where they themselves are at.


Oh what a Glorious procession across this land it will make, leaving a wake of fire where ever it goes. Can you see it church? Can you here the call of the Spirit to lay aside our entertainments and time wasters and pursue Him with all our heart, mind and strength?
Where we have been comfortable, God will stir up a boiling pot underneath us. We will either choose to get out of the pot and run with Him, or we will stew in the indignation and apathy that many have come to expect from us Aussies. God never wants any to miss out on the calling. He desires all to come into fullness of life. He is limitless in all things except one. YOU! Only you can decide to follow Him or not. I can try and persuade you, but ultimately it is your decision. Decide today that you will stand up and be counted. Make a quality decision right now to lay a hold of all He has for you. Start seeking Him in prayer and through His most blessed word. He moves us through His word and oh how He longs to commune with us through it. Lay aside all the sin that so easily trips you up and give God the rightful place He requires in your heart.


I urge you my Brothers and sisters in the Lord to heed the call of the trumpet and awake from your slumber. Arise and shine for your light has come and the Glory of the Lord has risen upon you. Dare to believe that God wants to use someone like you. He loves you and has many an adventure to take you on in Him. Trust Him explicitly for He is faithful to His word and watches over it to perform it. Allow His perfect love to drive out the fear and insecurities that have bound you these many years.

May His peace flow to you and through you by the Holy Spirit, and may His word have entrance into your heart watered by love and tended by faith.



Your Brother in Christ,
John Olsen.
