“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.
