Our Ministry for the Body of Christ has moved from Edgeworth to the Senior Citizens Hall on the Cnr of Myall and Harrison Streets Cardiff.

Sunday afternoon at 2.20pm the Spirit of the Lord is ready and waiting for our gathering to commence and as we lift our voices the Great Eagle, the Lord rises in our midst! Heaven is open. The Creator draws Creation into the glory of the Inner Court. Awesome.....and available for whomsoever will come.

THESE PAST WEEKS_ Sister Fay Mueck was busy over in the Eastern States and now has returned home safely to find every thing in better order than when she left there. Praising the Lord for the vision to be fulfilled in Mullewa, WA. Amen.

Our friend Monica McClure is defying all the doctors and continuing to live to praise the Lord. We stand with her and her family at this time. She is receiving many visitors and God is giving her encouraging words, gently leading her faith.

Our members also minister and are flowing well in prophetic revelations, being prepared and equipped for greater things and serving the Lord in their various patches of influence, halleluyah!

RECENT GLIMPSES IN THE GLORY .. Psalm 118:19 "Open to me the gates of righteousness: I will go into them and I will praise the Lord:"* *

God is in control of the world and the affairs of men. What a priveledge to come together and corporately discover what the Lord is saying and doing through the praise and worship.

Psalm 20:5 "We will rejoice in your salvation, and in the name of our God we will set up our banners!"

We needed no more prompting to obey the leading from the Holy Spirit and as we rejoiced and held up the colours of the Throne Room the Lord spoke for us to continue to press in as He was opening up many, many doors, like a tunnel of doors opening before us. We marched right through, exercising our God given authority as His children. Later the Lord began to declare revival fire for all who believe. Believe it, then you will receive it and be consumed by that fire. We declared this over the churches in Newcastle. It was very powerful. Prophetic Intercession is in agreement with the Holy Spirit.

Our meeting with visitors John and Mary Lou Palm was so wonderful. The Eagle came again as we praised and was sowing seeds over the nations. He said that He has given us the strength, the tools and the faith to go and to reap what the seeds have produced. It is harvest time, go and harvest!

During the Worship Pastor John was acutely aware of a Japanese Woman in our meeting and kept looking for her when he stood to minister the word. We know that the Lord is restoring to the end time church, all the blessings of the early church and we concluded that this sister was translated into our meeting. Pastor John was obedient to speak out a prophetic word for her. Translation is not a new thing and we are hearing frequent reports, and experienced these things in portion ourselves.

The Palms have been given a Divine Mandate to put together a Praise Conference at the Sydney Opera House early next year. The vision is great and I hope that you all will hear more from your local churches and link up with this event. Pastor John and Mary Lou are attached to the Terrace Christian Church and can be reached on 0411 848167.

They minister in a natural manner with a prophetic word of knowledge anointing that is truly timely and accurate and we have been so encouraged and drawn closer to the Lord through their time with us. More Lord!!

*COMING UP* We are having that "More!"

On Sunday 26th August 2007 we are pleased to announce that Rev Roy & Janet Edmonds will be ministering.

With plans in place for their next mission to the nations in early October, we are honoured to be able to have this time together in the glory and give unto God the glory due His name.

This is another timely meeting. We sense the quickening in the atmosphere for obedience to be about the Father's business with no distractions. What a great opportunity to have some fellowship together, so after the meeting we will be serving soup and rolls.

There will be no meeting in the Cardiff Hall on Father's Day 2nd September

May the Lord bless you with deep and intimate relationship with Bridegroom King Jesus and with His Sanctified, Anointed, Living Church. Amen.

NIGERIA
Waiting, waiting, waiting! Those who travel know the feeling at those luggage carousels. My bag arrived. Normally our bags had come through together, so it was with misgiving that we joined a small cluster of concerned passengers asking questions. Joh's bag was not on the flight. We were told it would come on tomorrow's evening flight? Paperwork would take another hour, meanwhile what would Pastor Madu be
thinking?

The distance between the luggage carousel and outside was around 50 meters at Lagos Airport arrivals, so with approval I decided to find him and ask him to please wait as we had indeed arrived. I approached the exit to see just outside, the biggest smiling face that I've seen in my life. We greeted each other and I explained the problem. Eventually we escaped the Airport into the arms of our overjoyed Nigerian Brethren.
Our hosts from E.E.M.O., the "Outreach" consisting of 3 leaders had made all the arrangements for our visit. Pastors Joe Uka, Felicia Bekee and Obinna Madu the Leader. They were super conscious of our safety in every area we visited and we were never outside of our rooms alone. They dealt with anyone trying to make mischief. Anything we wanted that was available in the way of food or needs, they took care of quickly. They arranged a local mobile (Glo provider) card for Joh's phone so we could be in touch at any time. She became "Joh Glo."

LAGOS
First stop Lagos and our Hotel with a time to get acquainted and news of the planned meetings. They wondered if we'd be up to the schedule. Pastor Obinna assured them all would be well; after all he testified that his life changed after he had prayer with us at Dubai Airport two years ago. On the strength of his testimony, they had spent a great deal of money and masses of time and energy arranging meetings.

Churches coming together, Bishops to meet, Pastors and Leaders hungry and loving toward one another. Exciting congregations, just jumping out of their skins when we appeared. I reminded myself that God had opened this door and He doesn't make mistakes. We were eager to get moving every day, but learned to be patient as time is different in Nigeria.

My journal reminds me of the taste of Lagos. Our first day was our orientation to the crazy pot-holed, dirt roads exhibiting poverty on the left and right. Driving with widows up and doors locked, shopping from the car for a thermos, oranges and bananas. Noise loud noise everywhere! Power failures, heat, humidity, breakdowns, and over-loaded motorbikes weaving in the slow moving traffic snarls.

Traders, beggars, masses of busy people. Piles of garbage, unbelievable power lines, hours to drive a few kilometers, our washing unable to dry because of the humidity. A queen-size bed to share and boom-boom neighbours till 3 am. And, the sewage works! We are in God's perfect will. Praise His Name forever!

We met the Bishop of the area, Rev Humphrey Erumaka with an opportunity to pray for him seeing a mighty release. He gave us his blessing and prayed for the meetings then took us for refreshments to show hospitality. The church for these meetings belonged to S.U.M.A. a ministry to "Rescue the perishing, Care for the Dying," led by Evangelist, Pastor (Mama) Blessing Jibuike. Recently they took a team into Ghana and Ivory Coast, reaching out to refugees with great success.

Our Pastor Brother Joe Uka was our host for the meetings in Lagos. We met many Pastors and Leaders who joined the Program. Different choirs came and sang, all so beautiful. We met his lovely family and I was honoured to dedicate his new baby Victory Uka, on the Sunday morning our last meeting here.

In Lagos the prophetic fire came forth as they were in that place in God, to do something with it for His glory. We felt to bring the Heartbeat song, for Nigeria this time. The people just leapt to their feet and proclaimed this with authority. No need to prompt them or encourage obedience. The dancing was wildly enthusiastic and effective in the spiritual realm. Saturday they had programmed a Pastors and Leaders conference. As they let the Holy Spirit move sovereignly, so many were set free in the anointing service. Pastor Joe received the Holy Ghost joy. We all became closer friends during the meetings in Lagos.

Mama Blessing encouraged the people to give into our anointing and took up double offerings for us. How wonderful! We began to see the reality of the five-fold ministry in truth, operating in this place. I've never witnessed this like I did in Nigeria. I feel that we can learn from these people, how God wants His Church to function.

Believers started to get set free from the works of the Devil, in a mighty powerful way. I encouraged everyone to speak / praise in tongues and more and more children came for deliverance. The Holy Ghost fell so heavily that nothing could hide anymore. The Pastors worked with us, and it was hard work but so rewarding as their people were released so quickly. The church was jumping! Glory to God!

These people won't need 5 years or more to get ready to walk in obedience. I spoke out that some would "go" within 6 months. Pastor Blessing couldn't describe the different things that she saw in us. I felt the Lord was breaking open some new things in the spirit and these will greatly effect the Nations. Sunday we packed to fly out to Port Harcourt after the morning meeting. In our new dresses, a gift from the Ladies, we were ready for a full schedule. After the Dedication of Baby Victory, I was asked to anoint everyone in the meeting. Prophetic waving of scarves over the people continued the move of the Lord. So we prayed and prophesied until 1.20pm, said our good-byes, and actually got to the Airport by 2pm!

What an experience is Lagos Domestic Terminal! It's like buying a bus ticket. Through security and eat our daily rice and chicken meal, before boarding a bus to take us to our aircraft. The driver went to the wrong plane and the passengers told him off and directed him to the right one!

PORT - HARCOURT
They fed us orange juice and cakes on the 40-minute flight. We arrived in Port Harcourt, to be greeted with a colourful, excited welcoming committee. We traveled in Obinna's family car, with two escort vehicles full of happy people, flying flags, advertising posters and flashing hazard lights! Obinna had hired two armed guards, "to make sure that nothing would go wrong for the Program!"

A wonderful time greeting all the family and workers and being fed the best pineapple and paw paw we ever tasted, before being deposited at our hotel near Pastor Felicia's home and church, at 6pm. Time to reflect on Lagos, and prepare for the evening meeting. The road to church reminded me of being on a rolling open sea. Up and down, pitch and toss on the shocking roads, but we made it every time without wrecking the Toyota sedan. These Pastors need 4 wheel drive vehicles in the cities.

Our meetings here had a different thrust. A time for repentance, healing, and renouncing. The inner man being set free, we were able to rejoice together. We brought the new song, "I'm filled filled up with the joy of the Lord." This touched the right cord and the place was jumping for some time. Spontaneous arches were formed, circles in two's and more, everyone was moving and singing.

Pastor Favour Emmanuel was the host Pastor for this series of meetings and he was so thankful and said, "the ministry is to the soul and that was needed. Not just to come and excite the people, they have plenty of that, but there's no change. This is bringing change. Glory to the Lord." We had meetings morning and night and were able to be totally free to move as led by the Holy Spirit. We met Apostle Aloy who would travel with us for the rest of our time here, another wonderful man of God.

Prophets were in the meetings and as I spoke on Nigeria and the Nations, revelations came to bless and confirm. They said that we were putting something new in Nigeria. I spoke again on authority of the Church, we sang again the "Heartbeat of God" then went to a higher level as the anointing came to worship. Johanna was able to carry the anointing that we flow in together, as I laid hands on everyone.

A word had come that the Lord wanted to send out Missionaries from this congregation. During a chorus, "Holy Holy," Pastor Favour asked those to come forward and be anointed. Then things really started to happen as the power of God was poured out on these future ministers. The meeting eventually was done, however Brother Obinna was so charged up it took another 20 minutes of dancing and shouting to close.

That evening Apostle Aloy brought a great message on the Prodigal and an invitation was given for salvation. They asked me to come and bless the people when all this was completed. I felt we should bring the song, "I'm moving on into my destiny." An hour later, we were able to close. Everyone took this prophetic song to heart and responded with vigor!

A new day. What would the Lord do? Apostle Aloy was excited as the Lord showed him in the Spirit that I had "exploits" in my hands. He was waiting for the Lord to enlarge this revelation. In the morning as they turned the meeting over, I felt led to speak on Jerusalem and Israel and the Nations. God calling Nigerians to the Nations. I asked Joh to lead in the glory worship and what a blessing followed as people were receiving peace and such easy releases.

That night the skies opened and we wondered how anyone would be physically able to reach the meeting. We watched from our hotel window, the flooded roads and traffic chaos for a few hours. However this was in God's hands so we had a nap. The weather had almost cleared by 6.30pm. The holes in the road were full and water came up to the doors of the car. It really was like being in a boat. The church was full!

Picture the meetings here. Boom-boom keyboard, drums and guitars, spotlight for the video camera being shoved right in faces, heat, sweat, sand being walked in on the linoleum and carpet pieces; plastic chairs, poles to hold up tents, streamers and little flags decorating the main room. Chiffon drapes behind the platform to cover the concrete wall. The side walls were concrete half way up, which is usual in hot climates. And the most colourfully dressed congregations I've ever seen.

We could see faces being softened over the meetings and the Leaders being really blessed to receive. We were given much honour and respect from everyone. Offerings came to us. Clothing, glassware, fruit, money, materials, handbags, perfume, talc, thankyou cards, and big bundles of love. We were overwhelmed and very humbled by this outpouring of brotherly affection.

"Holy Holy Holy Lord God Almighty." Not new words but a tune from the Lord, which Joh picked up as I ministered, ushered in a most glorious time in worship. Jesus came to heal and deliver as people were exhorted to keep their eyes on Him. Again the Leaders gave free rein to the ministry. The Lord is able to move so powerfully when God's people are in one accord. This is very fulfilling for everyone, glory to the Lamb.

As Wednesday is market day in this area, the numbers were down in the morning meeting, however the Apostles, Prophets, Teachers, Evangelist and Pastors were there. I was led to share the miraculous healing testimony of Pastor Keith Mapperson who imparted so much to me 20 years ago. Their faith lifted sky high. I shared on forgiveness, faith and love and the Lord fed their souls.

This meeting was especially time for Leaders also to receive. Thank the Lord for the prophetic word and ministry that brings such refreshing to God's people. And praise the Lord that all the words were recorded on the video from the platform. We also received a word from one of the Prophets. He said that God has given me a large key to Africa. This confirmed something I was given at home.

The Leaders prayed for us in every centre and we were so blessed in their company. Back in our room, Sister Felicia brought us another new dress each to wear to the last meeting. When we leave the hotel room they turn off the power and switch it back on when we return. The small refrigerator and air conditioner in the room work hard all night. The chicken and chips or chicken and rice was all seasoned with lots of pepper, something I got to enjoy. As this was very filling daily fare we couldn't eat another real meal, preferring to snack on fresh, yummy fruit in our room, while waiting to be picked up.

Johanna sang to establish our anointing and the glory. This always made everything speed up and much was accomplished in a short time. Suddenly, I asked, "who here is called to pray for Jerusalem?" everyone was surprised that a woman came out bowed over and weeping with the Lord's burden. On her knees in prayer, our sister ended up falling flat on her face in loud intercession for Israel. This lady only came to that one meeting. She was truly a surprise to us all.

Our last meeting in Port Harcourt was packed and I was again asked to anoint everyone. In our new outfits to bless those who gave them, we were in high spirits. I saw how the preachers get responses from the congregation. One that really tickled me was when the preacher says "hello?" people respond with, "hi!" I tried it, and it worked! We all had a big laugh together.

This was another great meeting. Praise the Lord as we were all flowing as a team in the glory. With Johanna delivering her ministry of song with such power, bringing and maintaining the glory, the works of Satan were again being destroyed as the anointing service continued for more than 2 hours. The local Pastor, Emmanuel Emmanuel, whose church building we were using for the Program, was on my right and Bishop Favour on my left, with many wonderful Ministers watching and helping where necessary, as the people were being set free. Praise the Name of Jesus!

Then they anointed us. They literally poured the oil all over my head as they prayed with all their hearts and blessed us both so much. And the offerings came in abundance. Bed that night at 1.30am. Most evenings we were late to bed and up early but not out the door on time. Patiently waiting to be picked up, we had time to be well prepared.

We packed our bags again and eventually left by road for Enugu State. We topped up the petrol tank with 17.71 litres of petrol which cost 34.00 Niara per ltr = 6,027 Nra. Bought lunch, chicken and rice from our favourite restaurant, Mr Biggs, and hit the highway north. A station wagon with 4 adults and toddler Eze Madu, and our sedan with Obinna, Florence, 3 month old Precious Madu, and us in the back with time to take in all the most beautiful countryside. This is Africa! Incidentally, I'm glad there are no wild animals roaming around.

ENUGU
Two lanes for north and two for southbound traffic come in handy when one or more lanes are too bad to travel on. Then the cars simply cross the median strip, a hazardous dirt dip, and just continue on their journey. There are no signs, detours or otherwise, yet everyone seems to know what is happening. The highway is littered with trucks that are beyond repair, and for that matter, the airfields are littered with planes in the same condition. A scrap metal business needed.

Booked into our hotel on the main street of Enugu city, dumped our bags and off to the meeting. Another great congregation ready for our arrival, our host Pastor Linus was going to interpret. Always a different flavour in every place, we were ready for anything to happen.

We called for those wanting to go on Mission for Jesus. It was exciting as everyone except those nursing sleeping babies, stood up for this. First the under 25 age group (including many quite young children), then the rest came forward for anointing. We gave them our new song, "I'm moving on, into my destiny." As they picked it up and started to jump and rejoice I said to Pastor Joe to start a type of conga line. Everyone responded and we ended up in a traffic jam until we were able to get two lanes going!

The Heaven's opened and it rained so hard on the tin roof that we had to shout to each other to be heard. We finished around 10pm. Still raining we went home rejoicing. We had to request the power to be put on and please could we have some hot water for a bath? They brought it up in a bucket. We saw people using wells to pump their water up into buckets. Our taps worked but the water had to be pumped from down below. We were told to remember to turn off the taps or the room would be flooded!

Again next morning the Church was well supported by local ministers all designated in the five-fold ministry, loved and respected by one another. Apostle Aloy was in charge and would introduce his wife Pastor Abigail, as "himself." So after introducing all the ministers who stood and gave a Hallelujah greeting to the church, he would say and now I want to introduce to you, Myself. She is my mother, my wife, my best friend, and my self. They were such an example. Their car was a VW Beetle.

The Lord impressed on me to speak about The Holy Spirit and the power of the gift of Tongues. Putting this into practice I asked everyone to stand and speak out loud using this gift for a few minutes. Encouraging them to get louder, I extended the time. What amazing things began to happen before our eyes! We witnessed people getting the joy, getting free of devils, moving into intercession and so forth. The atmosphere was so powerfully charged with the presence of the Lord, that I wondered if we could actually stop doing this "exercise!"

Our fellow Ministers pressed in with us using microphones and the river flowed out the door of the church to all the people in the street. I asked 4 of the ministers to move out and lay hands on people, as some were ready for deliverance. We all sang and danced until around noon. Again the Lord worked so quickly in this glory. Pastor Joe had a prophetic word for Apostle Aloy about the harvest to come. He also had words for Johanna, some others and me. We're so blessed!

In the evening Pastor Joe brought a salvation message and the prophesied new harvest began with around 30 people giving their lives to Jesus. We were functioning as a 5-fold ministry team to bring a greater glory to the Lord. It was great! When they handed over to me I just started jumping with a big "Ho!" This caught on and became a running time, Nigeria to run for Jesus! Everyone ran! I don't know numbers but I guess around 200 plus? It's all on video.

Another Brother Apostle visiting stood up after that anointing lifted and said that he saw flames coming out of me. He told this so that people would be lifted up in their faith. He said that they could believe every word that came out of my mouth! How glorious! Johanna then came and sang, "Behold He comes, riding on the clouds…etc."

Then a time of praying for the Leaders as some would be in their own churches tomorrow being Sunday. The floodlight and video had caught up with us, and the bugs followed in hordes. Lots more happened and we still closed at 9pm! People don't like travelling home in the dark late at night, so it was good to be able to do this. The Lord worked with us powerfully, praise His Name forever!

However it was hard to leave the building and we ended up dancing and rejoicing for another hour with the Leaders. Pastor Madu was so charged that he had two microphones up to his mouth for more volume! Did I mention that Pastor Friday (Pastor Obinna's right hand man in the ministry, honestly!) a real firecracker in the dancing, also blew a whistle when the anointing hit him. Another Pastor was heard with a whistle at one time too. This is very wonderful and noisy to say the least.

Sunday morning we piled into the two vehicles and headed out to a village, Nzukka, for morning Church. We're ministering with people from the Igbo Tribe. Buildings along the way were made with mud bricks and thatch roofs. A noisy welcome at the spick & span, little concrete and tin roof church, packed and overflowing when we arrived. Three drums made up the band. Johanna sang again and the glory came down providing a Holy platform for a short message I brought on salvation. We had a great harvest and spent time praying with all the converts. Pastor Obinna promised to return with Bibles for them all. We had run out of those purchased in Lagos long ago. The people are so hungry. Bibles are welcomed like water in a desert.

After the anointing service we enjoyed fellowship before returning to Enugu City, a stop at Mr Bigg who seemed to follow us around, for our chicken and rice / chips, and then up to our room to prepare for the last meeting there. Arriving around 6pm, the exuberant praise was underway. Tonight was another anointing service and everyone came ready many with their own bottles of oil to be blessed.

This turned out to be a night of powerful deliverance again. We had a production line going for some hours. When the demons were revealed because of the presence of God, I would indicate to Apostle and his workers just with a nod or eye contact, and they would finish off the work. I commented to Pastor Felicia who stood with the oil, that we were in the labour ward and there (indicating Apostle Aloy), was the deliverance room. She laughed with understanding.

Jesus came to destroy the works of the Devil. This is the work of Christ through His people. What a blessing to be part of the church today.

Monday again saw us packed, ready to return to Port Harcourt for a most special meeting in the evening. "An Inauguration of E.E.M.O. (Evangelical Explosive Missionary Outreach) and Commissioning and sending forth of the team for Missions. Anointing and impartation service." Evangelist Obinna's vision is for souls.

This took place at Pastor Felicia's church "Jesus Christ Ministries" near our hotel, so we were able to walk. The only time we didn't need the car. We also took communion together, prayed and prophesied over everyone with another anointing service. We brought them the old favourite song, "Look what the Lord has done" which they quickly caught.

GOING HOME
Our last day in Nigeria. Up early to pack and get organised to fly to Lagos and then a taxi to the International Terminal. Our team was being depleted as we retraced our steps and now we were four. Pastor Joe was returning to his family and church in Lagos, and Pastor Obinna our host would have an overnight in Lagos to get some car parts before heading back to his place in PH. Virgin Airlines also flies these routes. So after lots of photos and farewells, prayers and future visions shared, we departed Rivers State. Another surprise, the domestic flight was on a Yugoslav Airlines 737-300!

Our luggage (67ks plus carry on) filled the Peugeot taxi as we made our way to the South African Airlines Terminal singing "Agam Aturru Chineke Mmama, Onye nwe-anyi Imela." An Igbo song we were taught. "I will thank God for God has done well."

All bags had to be opened for hand searches. How time consuming and messy is that! No lines, just a table and officious workers making unrealistic demands on everyone! Imagine the confusion of people falling over trolleys, luggage with contents going everywhere, and upset, shouting travelers, staff and unhelpful helpers demanding money. Praise the Lord we checked in early before the masses arrived, hot on our heels!

Then quickly through into the "secure" area and with a few final waves to our Brothers in the Lord, we were on our way home. God had shown us His greatness in every way. We were loaded down with many things to think on as we boarded the plane at 11.45pm.

Shall I prepare a group to return to Nigeria, hopefully next year, as they have requested? They asked me to bring a large team to saturate the Rural Areas. Contact me if you hear the Lord calling you to come. Not everyone in the Body of Christ is walking in the anointing and authority to minister in Nigeria, which is a shame. However, the door is open for those who are ready. I am collecting money for Bibles to send to the new converts in Nigeria. The work continues and testimonies keep coming back. Pastor Madu said that all the new believers are attending church and praying for a Bible. Around $7 AUD will buy a Bible.

If you want to sow into these future Nigerian Missionaries please send donations made out to the PLM (above). Or perhaps talk to Carol Clabaugh in PA on cclabaugh@pennswoods.net or 814 6522494.
Thank you for the offerings and donations and prayers and helps that combined to make this trip a reality. Salvation and healing prayers for you and your loved ones. May the call of God upon your life be fulfilled for His Glory! Whatsoever He says for you to do, yield to His will, worship Him with your obedience. Then we can say together, "The Bride has prepared herself. Come Lord Jesus, Come!" God Bless your life and ministry. In all you do, do unto the Lord.

Yours in His service, Fay

Winter 2003

Robyn Knapp visiting minister with husband Tom, brought the following in November 2002...

Hold up the banners, hold them up and do not even let them touch the ground. Do not let the flag, the banner of the Lord, the flag of the Lord is blazoned in every island of the sea, and every place above you and every place beyond you. For I have given it, that it shall be that the flag of the Lord shall be placed high in every single dominion and place and kingdom, that is round about you. I have placed it in your hand. Do not allow the flag of the Lord to touch the ground. Keep it lifted, keep it high, 'til it be placed, deposited, in the place of God. I saw islands and looked at islands of the Philippines and many islands about. God has ordained that the flag or banner of God should even fly to the nations round about. We don't realize the full significance of it, but as we held the flag, the banner high and press in, and believe God, He will give us souls.

Gleanings from praise and prayer times in January and February, 2003 ** I saw two huge eagles. A big brown looking eagle with a huge wing span. He hovered permanently and His eyes could see everything on the earth (God the Father). The second eagle, again with a huge wing span, was white. He flew around (Holy Spirit) beneath the Father God eagle. This eagle was very active. I saw Him rise up and take flight as soon as we came together to pray. On Friday night (17th) as we came into an assurance of victory time, I saw the white eagle circling around and around over the earth saying, "It will be done!" Meaning your prayers are heard. The answers are in progress of accomplishment. ** I saw God as a conductor of a huge orchestra. His hands continually moved in flowing movements like circles. There was no break in the movements and I saw that His purposes and plans flowed throughout history without a pause. He is Alpha and Omega. He was able to raise up or cause to collapse and fall (like a pack of cards), according to His plans and purposes with just a movement of His hand. All was in His orchestra. This was a very uplifting experience of assurance of His power, Grace and Mercy over the whole earth and the whole of history. ** A soft mist of the Holy Spirit falling over the whole earth. It came down, across, under & around. Nothing could escape His presence as He entered every crack and crevice. ** I saw the glory of the Lord being revealed through nature. "I will continue to increase My power, My presence, My beauty in and through nature, so that the whole earth will know that I am who I Am."

** I saw aggressive destruction against the innocent, being made powerless at the voice of God. ** While praying for the Aborigines. I saw a mother with a baby on each hip - the promise of twins, double blessing of the Lord. Then I saw lots of children around the mother all different ages. They seemed to be multiplying before my eyes.

** As soon as we start to pray and lift our voices, I see the Eagle rise up in our midst. ** Praying for the harvest of souls and Kingdom people for leaders. I saw hundreds of butterflies released from their cocoons. They poured out as a continual stream. They were coming into the Kingdom for this time, for God's purpose in leadership in our Nation. ** God's hand of mercy is stretched over the land of Israel. No retaliation or bloodshed for a day and a night. ** I saw blue ribbons of worship rising to Heaven. Black cords of religion cut, descending. ** Last great revival (of peoples to be reached), will be the Moslems. Tide is turning. Holy Spirit beginning to reach them. They'll be hiding, afraid of retribution, but God is sending out His Word to find them. On last night of prayer, I saw Moslem women coming into the meeting, happy, shy, and easily led by Holy Spirit. Knew in their hearts that they would be accepted. ** I saw missiles launched into spiritual realm against the enemy. Holy Spirit Eagle took flight flying around in Heavenly realm above the Earth. ** I saw men lifting holy hands to the Lord in worship. ** A large crowd of men praying at the Western Wall in Jerusalem. ** Jesus heart in and for Jerusalem to shed love on His people. ** I saw that God's got the whole world in His hands. ** He will come, the Light into the world. Saw great glory coming. ** I saw The Lord comforting Israel. Rocking as a baby in His arms. He was singing to Her. ** Ancient wells open in Israel. I saw the water rising from the wells and spilling out. Just gushing up and out. ** I saw our praise intercession prayer going up, up, up in spirals to the heavenlies. It was unbroken spirals, like one solid mass effecting Heaven, as we prayed for the Moslems. ** I saw shallow water covering Australia as far as the eye could see. As we prayed I could see the water coming in waves, growing and continuing on until all the land is covered. ** Dry and barren places. I could see His rain coming and bringing change. New growth. ** Praying for our Judicial system. The ungodly Judges removed. Godly judges replace the wicked. The courts conducted according to God's laws and not man's. I felt a very strong revelation of this. ** The wind blowing. It's the power of the Lord blowing and bringing healing to the people of Israel. People being filled with the wind of the Holy Spirit. ** I saw the world like a globe and on opening in the top. The hand of the Lord with a jug pouring what looked to be water into the world, but it wasn't water, it was the glory. This glory shall be revealed from the inside out. ** I saw the wind of the Spirit blowing across a sandy desert land and the wind began to expose a pyramid. Just the tip to start with, then more and more. Then I saw a man's face being exposed in the sand. Wind exposed him too, a man dressed in a middle eastern garment, with a turban on his head. This man then moved toward Israel. The Lord going to or already is, beginning to expose this man and it seems that he comes out of Egypt with sights on Israel. He was an evil man, some connection to Egypt. ** I saw the army of the Lord very thickly covering the high places surrounding Israel - with His troops exuding the fire of the Lord. God opened the enemies eyes to see His army. ** The Israeli troops being given insight by the Lord to what the enemy was preparing. ** Enemy spies in their midst that stirred up trouble, voluntarily leaving. ** God gave the leaders of Israel divine insight. ** There was a need for fresh water - and God would supply it wherever they dug a well. Then I saw living water gushing down from Heaven into the land and the people reaching out for it, lifting their hands and arms to the Lord. ** Times of great mourning in the earth however the word says that those who mourn shall be comforted. We know that comfort comes from the presence of the Lord, therefore, by His presence souls will receive His love. Hallelujah. ** Mountains of rebellion and Stubbornness being removed. ** Lord's sadness at rejection of own children, long to comfort but would not come. ** Praying for the Church in Newcastle to be stirred up and go ye! Saw people like laying on their beds being covered in layers of brown dust. Very subtle dust, just gently blowing upon them, layer upon layer as they just kept waiting for God to use them. Little zest left. Began to declare to them to shake it off and be doers (and so forth). Then, a great wheel on earth began to turn and gain speed. The centre was rusted and took strength to budge it and get it started. Had to be really stirred up. But it was turning! ** I saw an Angel above a cloud when we started to Praise. He was scribing. I also saw the latter rain coming.

Some of the ladies with Good Shepherd Mission P & P meetings. Left to right - Fay, Johanna, Val, Pam, Dee, Heather. We praise the Lord for meeting with us and revealing the activity. This is so encouraging and stirs us on to keep pressing in together. "What wonderful days these days are before the coming of the Lord!" Quote Sr Ruth Heflin. THAT HE MAY BE GLORIFIED. AMEN

Prophetically we started July with a word about "new beginnings.
" Gleanings from my weekly meetings book follow. I don't always have the name of the person who had the revelation, however these gleanings will jog our memories I'm sure. July. Heather had lots of visions. In the worship it was a focus of the bride being clothed with the glory of the groom. I heard shofars, Josie bells, and a few of us heard the wings of Angels beating as I moved the gold and amber banners, they joined in the sound. Joh rubber ducky! Lord enjoys washing her. Later, Lord at the stove warming some hot milk for _____, we all got the taste! 13th "Hear the Beat" birthed. August. From Donelle, "Give out the love, compassion, glory, what I have given thee." Next week a word came, "Speaking love songs to the new born, Love them in by your song as a mother spends time with new born child." And "Hear O Israel, I have spread a table for you in the midst of your enemies." Song came, "Jerusalem receive this day the comfort of your King." Isa 40. And "Pour blessings on your offspring." Val - all will bow before Israel, silver (redemption) wrapped around Israel. Gen 37:7. Peter, purple, King in Heaven. Warring flags & Angels marveling. September.

Visions for America after 8/11. Heather saw the American flag limp, as we worshiped breath of God unfurled it. Started to be strengthened. Saw America in the crook of His arm being comforted like a baby. Victory march Aust & America together, took battle to the face of the enemy, poured out love of God and mercy. Next week, the Barfoot's visit. Ann's visit, Val & Lloyd on another honeymoon, Pam back from Sri Lanka, Fay visiting from Griffith, Jennifer back from up north. Vision Rev 9:14-15.

Dancing and reverence. 28th Ordinations. November. (Anna Rountree reading for everyone) Pam, "Praise God, don't look at what the Devil is doing.
" Jos - "Lift up hands, we're in the glory, see the blood, worship. Doing something very special in our midst. Think of yourself as a desert. He creates gardens in the desert. Heather - endless stair, mountains around, to ascend with Jesus at the top, keep going, no-one been there before, more in His Spirit, table with golden tassels, illuminated world, Lord waiting for us to come home, world under glass, alive movement, observing us through the glass.
Next week, Fay - "Purposes of God are Infinite!" Bruce Garbutt visiting. On the last Sunday - Pam, sang a prophetic new song for Africa! Lord coming in fire. Heather - Jerusalem deep purple, gold flowers, fine gold dust falling into 2 daisies which in turn tip out onto us. Fay declared. Christmas will be something special this year. We heard and saw golden bells and angels and champagne glass being refilled. Herald "Majesty!" December. "I Am Christmas!" Lights, streamers, bells, silver trumpets, silver leaves in Heaven. More we speak of Him here, the light increases. World being shaken, prophets will bring forth the message to the earth.

Fay - "Restore the borders, courage in the land, enemy routed out and pushed into the sea and desert. Drought and famine, no strength to take up arms against Israel again. Protection upon those in uniform, no fear, courage, one voice, no division in decisions. Expand borders. God's Name exalted in the world, fear of God as in time of Esther, David & Goliath. No hiding, a rising up. People standing with Israel, light to Gentiles. Arabs to route out the evil in their midst, be ashamed, turn around." Joh - Jesus walking through the land, blue and peaceful.

Fay - curtain coming down like on a stage. An end to something. Heather - square Archway, Jesus walking in to amphitheater. Us singing, as He arrives, His gown catches on His legs. Mother comforting her loss of child. Focus on Him not loss. Palestinians bowing to Lord. Ground dry dust, mass of people in raggy clothing, staggering, big shoes worn out. Chariots and more. Golan Heights at peace. Next week, Israel again. Heather - blue blanket over everyone, sleeping peacefully. Christmas Angel with a drum. In line with the military, going forward, alive with the glory of God. An Angel of war but dressed in a beautiful gown. Authority, wisdom and unity. Sun before 25th, Fay - Father seeing His Son born, perfection. Adam restored. The Christ, see Jesus as the Father sees Him. New fresh vision for everyone to see Christ with new eyes. So ended 2001. January. Blood lines, sentinels on the wall, green valleys, climb up the mountain. Solemn assembly, cleanness of our hands, decrees. (Then we had a week of prayer which is recorded elsewhere.)

During Communion, one white and one black baby in the Father's arms, aboriginal and the rest brought into one. The Spirit for the Nation, new wind of the Spirit, blowing south then east, dead branches, chairs overturned. Heather - Indian god, red & yellow bonnet, looking at us very offended, arms moving, legs from waist down sticking out. (This was also the day Pam used authority over strong matriarchal spirit and was victorious!). Fay M has vision of me standing before the throne waiting for instructions, cloak on, wouldn't move until instructed. Next week Heather saw someone stuck in an underground cistern, Lord lowered a pole and drew the person out. Val and others - Captain of the Lord of Hosts, banners, heart of love, sifting fire, people running into the joy of the Lord. February: See the Nations being sown into hearts today (prayed & prophesied for present). Next week full of revelations. Val - Israel flag wrapped between gold and purple. Several times an end slipped down symbolic of the history. Earlier saw sunflower starting to unfold, always bending toward the sun, faces the sun. Saw a butterfly on it's back struggling to get right side up, our intercession was helping it to regain strength. Heather saw the Lord's supper in the distance. Huge river sparkling with gold, came to an earthly stream or river with fish swimming. Had long spines, stagnant in the water, flopped onto side of back because of these long spindly spines. Lord had to pull them all out. The spines had a substance, debris growing out of it. It was like the Body of Christ.

Then the fish could swim freely, darting all around. Joh also saw the river, vibrant, pulsating life as we sang, more rushing, then as Fay directed us to dance upon the Nations of the Middle East, suddenly Joh looked to the north and could see forever, figures all dressed in white, imitating every step she did. Jesus then came with a large loaf of bread and He broke it and was feeding people the bread of life. We heard other instruments, strings, keyboard etc. and many flags. Fred saw flags waving all around, big basin full of gold with 2 Angels who were throwing, spreading the gold all over the place March: A door partly ajar, stairs, Holy, Holy, Holy echoing through chambers of Heaven. Valley, soldiers ready for battle, horses raring to go. Place filled with light as we pressed in for more. Something precious just around the corner. Ann on the floor saw swarm of bees and honey just dripping, like a river. Heather was twirling and saw Joh's hair streaming out she was moving so fast on a horse in the spirit. Swift! Swift!. Saw the Lord playing a guitar with us. And Africa very real, trees and 2 large giraffe walking and looking, also short glimpse of New Zealand. Exhortation from me to press in, prayed fire of God for everyone. Heather saw the Lord walking along the beach on a sunny day came upon a fire with no flame. Lots of wood and smoke but no flame. He crouched down admiring the timber all ready. He picked up the tiniest bit of dry / dead grass and twigs on the ground. Started, one by one to put them on the fire. Then the flames started to grow catching the larger pieces of timber. Soon it was a raging fire and Jesus was so pleased because the fire was being used. Fire kindled by Him. He wants us to start raging with an effective heat to minister to others. Still on this Sunday, Africa for Jesus! Jesus for Africa! Righteousness, river, Zimbabwe. Open wide Aust doors for the persecuted church. Declarations came. Huge fire, some went around (avoiding it), few went through. Run the gauntlet, using the tools of God, walk on that path. Lord's preparation for Mission to Philippines. April: Take us into a Holy place, whispering. Testimonies from Africa. Flames of gold, thick like heavy paint, liquid gold. Flames became one stream flowing, letters "HOLY" going up the narrow river. Then the letters changed to Hebrew still going up the river.
Heather, standing in New York, skyscraper of black marble/granite? Looked up to see that it was all made of this black granite with windows of polished stone, little variegations. A park or public place nearby. She felt like she was right there! Saw a still stream with flat smooth pebbles. lady reading her Bible, the pages became colours like life coming out, flowing off the pages, butterflies and birds, word alive producing life. Another lady worshipping with a very fine cobweb covering her, big beads of gold, very rich gold, different shapes, fine gold dust coming down. May: Heather saw the army covered in a blue flame marching out together, just our faces showing. No competition, different, unique. Came out of the bleaches into an arena. Other Christians watching. Something different about these Christians. Watching them come out, saw us this army. Next week pathway for the Bride to walk up, being made easy with our voices, Notes like flower petals falling - glory - path easier for them to walk upon now. Bride dancing in old church. Eye closed and black, damaged and diseased unable to see clearly, as we praised eye opened and healed and now able to see. Faithful old times churches now being made ready to enter into the new higher pathways. Australia, flag being covered with red banner representing the blood. Washing the nation, glory, Holy Spirit. Lots of prayer.
Fay - Change coming! Declarations over our governments, judiciary and powers, all those in authority...righteous judgment and mercy. The law of God not man, not the Devil. Amen.

Mid May Heather, banner, light came suddenly, like Joan of Arc calling people into battle. Tornado, whirlwind - whoosh! Consuming the banner and people. Val - tree of life, huge with deep roots going down, branches spreading out. Heather, Bride on white horse, sitting with great ease. Joh, horseman. Three of us saw ground heaving and pulsing, a rising up and coming down, making it level. "Hear the Beat" conceived. Next week, Val, People in Aust coming into line, coming into order. Huge cross over our Nation. Blood and tears falling onto sand, became rivers flowing out all over our nation, bringing life. Someone else saw Jesus in Heavens, Angels flying low with trumpets in the front. Cry out for His glory, coming soon!

June: Bob - Large rock with honey coming out, touching him. Go out with the Word, it'll be like honey to them. Val - All we give to Him comes back on us. Stand with Him, endless view. High places waiting for us, He can take us and reveal..Joh - song, "You are the rock, honey in the rock." Then - fire, around us keeping the honey warm and flowing, covered us, anointed with honey, stick to us as it goes out, people will be caught in it. This is just some of the fruit from 12 months of Praise, Worship and Glory in our Sunday gatherings.

Together we are doing something for God just by being faithful in coming together. Thank you! Only the Lord knows what ultimate victories have been won in His Name. This is our bread and butter, our meat is to do the will of the Father. I hope you are as encouraged as I, by this overview. Amen!

May 2002

"HOW MUCH DO I LOVE THEE? LET ME COUNT THE WAYS!"

So begins one of the most famous poems known to lovers the world over. As we reflect upon this past year, I hope we can keep our eyes fixed on the lover of our soul, The Lord Jesus Christ. He is firmly in control and as we stay close to Him, we will reveal to the world, the one whom we love above all others. Our first love waits for us to turn from our busyness and seek Him. It is wise to tune into the systems of the world and find out what is happening, but let's not forget to check everything with the Holy Spirit. He is the One God sent to lead us into all truth. Don't be deceived, don't be distracted from His presence. We live in a most amazing time. It is of God's choosing that you and I are alive right now witnessing some of the most incredible events in the Nations. And whether we like it or not, every Christian is being pressed into a deeper more committed service. Maybe it will take a supernatural visitation to promote us to our rightful place, or perhaps we're almost there? Be sure that it will be uncomfortable for the flesh, but only until we yield. Then we'll be surprisingly content and, happily willing to go the extra miles in the Name of the Lord. p2 Courage to Stand? Yes with great steadfastness we will stand. A glorious Church adorned as a Bride. Be Joyful in all Circumstances? Yes! Sometimes only on the inside, and sometimes inside and outside like little feathers are tickling us (I see as I write). Obedient? Yes! For it is better to obey God rather than man. This Godly fear will permeate every thought and every action, even unto death. Can words even begin to express the number of ways the Lord loves His people? And how can we possibly hope to respond coherently to such a love? Without the help of the Holy Spirit we have trouble even receiving a portion of the incredible depth of His amazing love. It's no use trying to run and hide, keep Jesus at arms length and live in such a shallow existence. It's time to throw ourselves unashamedly into His arms and settle the matter once and for all. We either belong to Him or we don't. We either have chosen Him or denied Him. We either want to be led by Him or sit in our current mess forever. You think the days are getting shorter too do you? And do you find that as you're getting older, you're getting busier? And it doesn't get any easier to prioritize as everything is important? It's a case of HELP ME JESUS, every day, even every hour! Totally dependent p3 upon Him is not a bad thing. We need to learn the ways of contentment through His love. There is a mighty outpouring of the Holy Spirit stored up in Glory and God is getting us ready to receive it and flow in it. It will be an almighty rampaging torrent, gushing with such a volume of living water that could overwhelm us and make us ineffective,if we're not ready. We've only witnessed a trickle in comparison! We can get excited providing we also get ready. We need to take this seriously. It won't be like we imagine, it'll be what God has planned. BIGGER, HIGHER, DEEPER & WIDER than our tiny carnal thinking can conceive. The Nations will know that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. Every soul on earth has been given power to choose their destiny. You and I have made a choice. We've confessed the Risen Christ and Him for life and death. Let us not grow weary waiting for His promise of eternity, where our Father dwells. Thanksgiving 2001. May every tear be wiped away as we rise to greet another day. May all disappointments be forgotten as His presence washes over our soul. May we spend our thoughts endeavoring to express, the love we have for our Lord, while meditating on His love for us, at times too difficult to comprehend. Sending this with warm love and may the Lord continue to bless and strengthen you with His grace. Keep in touch. Yours in Prayer U (Rev) Fay Badgery & Family 80 Ridley Street Edgeworth NSW 2285 Australia 61 2 4958 4292
