INSPIRATION BEHIND THE NAME OF THE BLOG


When an artist decides to make a painting, he "conceives" a picture. He then takes out the canvas, brushes and paint. After getting out all he may need, the artist starts picking out the colours and brushes he wants to use...then; he begins! Now, somewhere during the process of this painting he comes to the point where he decides to use a very fine brush to put in the some detail on the painting, but for some reason that brush just does not want to work...and having to finish the painting, the artist chooses another brush which even though it is not as fine (able) as the previous brush becomes a skilful wand in the hands of the artist, not due to the capabilities of the brush...no, due to the willingness!

Mat 22:14 for many are called, but few are chosen...

I believe this scripture does not refer to God having favourites and therefore does not want to choose some, but rather because some are consistently refusing God's grace and love to shape and mold their hearts.

Do you realize just how much God loves you...? He created the universe with words, yet He took the time to mold, shape and create you...this has to make you wonder; who is this God that thought of me before the foundation of the earth and if He thought of me, that must mean that I am worth so much in His hands...?


South Africa - founded on God's heart but resting on His character!

A Word of Hope for South Africa:  Trusting in God’s Plan for Our Future Last year, in November, we went camping with friends. As we sat and chatted, one of our friends asked everyone what scripture was on their hearts. This question stirred something deep within me. The Holy Spirit repeatedly brought one passage to mind—Ezekiel 34. This passage, a Prophecy Against the Shepherds of Israel, carries a stern warning and a profound message for spiritual leaders, me included. Ezekiel 34: A Call to Shepherds of the Nation Ezekiel 34:1-10 (AMP): "Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel... Woe (judgment is coming) to the [spiritual] shepherds of Israel who have been feeding themselves! Should not the shepherds feed the flock?..." In this scripture, the Lord reprimands the spiritual leaders of a nation, emphasizing that when a nation is in disarray, it often reflects a lack of leaders with true shepherds’ hearts. A true shepherd, as exemplified by David, does not merely se...

AMERICA TURN YOUR HEART WHOLEHEARTEDLY TO GOD.

America, Today I do not have a lot of words except for a call to repentance for the nation of America...in 2014 I had a very vivid vision ( View Vision ) in which I saw the pending judgement of God, yet his hand of grace that was holding back the dragon which was and continues to be so eager to devour the nations and at that stage I could sense that God was holding the dragon back because He was being gracious and giving America time, time to see what He holds in His heart for them and that is to prosper them as a nation in all areas not just financially but primarily spiritually and also mentally and emotionally as He wants the nation of America to step into his calling of being the "older" brother to South Africa but will not be able to do so if the nation continues to be unstable in the way they think and perceive. God wants the nation of America to align with His heart by being humble enough to heed the call instead of trying to step into a position to which you have not ...

THERE IS LIFE IN DEATH IF YOU SEEK IT

I never used to fast...not because I did not believe in it, but because I have never felt the need to do so. However, In the beginning of 2013, I felt the Lord calling me to do an Esther fast [3 days of no food and no liquids, not even water] but at the time, I did not have certainty in my heart about it. So, I asked the Lord that He should guide me and confirm His word spoken in my heart. In January my uncle was here from London and one day as we were all talking, he stopped the conversation and said "Denise, the Lord says you must do an Esther fast, cause He wants to talk to you and give you breakthrough". As you can imagine this shook me but now I knew that God wanted me to fast and do the Esther fast. So, I asked the Lord when should I fast as I know that timing is everything because God does things in specific times for specific purposes...and I felt the Lord saying 1-3 February.  I was nervous and scared to do the fast as I have been getting a...

Is there Hope in your blood?

This evening I am captured by the Spirit of God and what is gripping my soul is that there is HOPE for our nation and the hope is carried in His blood and that hope is now also in my blood, for we are one. The difference between giving a prophetic word and being called to the office of the prophet: Anyone that hears and recognizes God's voice can prophecy according to what he/she has heard but the one called to the office of the Prophet...hears God, then goes through fire so that the heart is purified for he needs to also see God, so that he/she can become the revelation of God (embodiment of the Word) to the nation/s through the Message of Hope he/she carries in their blood... All are called to prophecy often as it is an outflow of your relationship with God but NOT ALL are chosen for the office of the Prophet because not all are willing to commit to Him and His heart's message no matter the cost...This is what it means to be in a covenant relationship with God as Jesus Christ...
