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...?


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 was.

If you call yourself a prophet, my question is:


Does the Message of Hope that you carry in your heart flow in your blood and are you willing to be crucified/die both figuratively and physically (for Whom you carry in you) so that even your last breath of life brings Hope for the one crucifying/killing you e.g. Jesus calling out: Father forgive them, for they know not what the do.

If not, you need to re-evaluate why you have stepped into the office...is it for self gain or is it for His gain...? Do not just swing the title around for self gain because when you step into an office for which you have not been chosen you will not have the backing of the Holy Spirit when the the adversary of the office comes against you for every office has an adversary...However, I do pray that you will not cease to seek God's heart in your life, so that His hope which brings forth life may fill your heart and become a well to all those around you and I also pray that when you do overflow from His living water inside of you that you will continue to only seek Him as your portion and nothing else. May you then continue to lead a disciples life that masters the heart of denying yourself, picking up your cross and following Him into perfect love even unto death for life...
