A solid man of God, with a heart after our King to be glorified, as Jesus truly is worthy... that the Father heart of God would be known... Dennis Glas is his name. A man who fought for me even in some of my most ugliest moments and revealed his love for me to be true & unwavering, not intimidated by any of my mess or my past not even the things that are trying to overshadow me in fear... but he has boldly and confidently proclaimed and revealed his love for me and that together we will walk through ever valley and climb every mountain with God as our strength and shield... Yep you could say I am a VERY happily blessed women who knows our Father in heaven loves us deeply & gives only good gifts... and that this love we have will only grow through the seasons of the soul, as we walk across the unknown and unchartered waters of life, that are set before us....
Yep it's true... I am engaged to an amazing man of God... I have known him for three years, we met through the TAURANGA HOUSE OF PRAYER here in New Zealand... we started dating at the end of last year...
And on March the 13th he got down on one knee and asked me to Marry him... and I said YES... so here we are pretty happy knowing we are going to walk beside one another through every season of the soul and history until death do us part or Jesus splits the sky and we watch an epic ending of this age.

Divine Love
This morning I woke with a deep ache in my heart for more... more of my Beloved One... more of knowing His depths... not shallow weak knowing but a deep knowing of who He is more then I have ever experienced before... my thoughts where lead to the Mothers and Fathers of the faith of old who had fellowship in such a rich way with the Beloved that I long to know... God is birthing a hunger in me to know HIm more even in the place of suffering, to allow Him to reveal His wounds to me, to let me feel the ache in His heart for those who do not know Him for those who are weighed down and bound in a prison by the effect of sin and death... the ones He longs for... the ones He cares deeply for.. the ones He wants to bring freedom to and healing and deliver them from the snare that the enemy has laid for them... In His lovingkindness He has revealed to me areas of my heart and life that compromises just seemingly little ones have entered but how destructive they can be... and how He wants to bring freedom to me His beloved in a deeper way.... I hear my Beloved whisper to me 'I'm taking you deeper... I am doing a greater work within you... trust Me... trust My hand upon your heart'.
To listen to one who went deep with the Beloved, this is what he has to say:
There is a fire of Divine Love.
It is this love which burns the believer and can even cause the believer to suffer. How? Sometimes the absence of the Beloved greatly affects the believer.
Sometimes the believer hears the inward voice of the Beloved calling. It is a gentle whisper and proceeds from out of the believers inmost depths... where the Lord, the Lover, abides. It is this whisper which possesses the believer almost to the point of undoing. The believer realizes how near is his Lord and yet he also realizes how much the soul has not yet been possessed by Him.
This intoxicates the believer and puts an insatiable longing within him to be changed into the likeness of his Lord. Therefore, it can be said of love: Divine love is as strong as death, for it kills just as surely as death kills.
MOLINOS
This is where I find myself this day... both Realizing my Beloved's nearness yet also knowing their is much of this soul to be possessed by Him... a longing and a ache... although at first discouraged someone wise said to me... 'Remember it is God who is doing the work within you, and He is Faithful to bring you into completion. Trust Him. His timing is perfect!'
Lord today I ask would You help me to be patient as You move and work upon this weak heart, would Youcause me to enjoy Your hand upon my heart and the wisdom of Your timing... lift my eyes this day that I am not focusing on that which is in need of work but upon You the Beloved who is Faithful who is moving in Divine love upon my heart... let my eyes behold You this day.

Revealer of Mysteries.
'The mysteries of God are dear to Him, and are concealed until it pleases Him to reveal them. He does not allow them to be understood on the basis of intellectual ability or to satisfy human curiosity. We cannot deduce them by the operation of our minds. They have got to be revealed, and God looks and waits for an attitude of heart and spirit in which there is a reverence and appreciation for mystery. When the revelation comes, we are brought into a high responsibility in God. The promulgation of mystery is not merely for our edification and knowledge. God desires His mysteries to be fulfilled. That is why they are given.'
These are the words of Art Katz. I have come to know him, not face to face, but listening to his words and his heart, I have been blessed... to me he is a Grandfather whom I love and cherish.. who loves me. And there is much he has taught me...
My prayer is that my heart and your heart would have reverence for the One who holds every mystery in His hands, longing and waiting for ones He can reveal them to... let us be ones whom when He looks upon our hearts and in our spirit HE sees an appreciation for Him and His breath takingly beautiful mysteries... Abba that we would know You... that we would be revealers of Your mysteries carrying Your precious truth deep within our hearts... as our lives proclaim these beauties.

Set me as a seal upon Your heart...
I wrote this on Christmas day...
Alana my friend here it finally is... 8)
...and for every other eye that falls upon this page may you be blessed and brought close to the heart of my King... Jesus.
The culmination of the Ages...
The unifying of all of life's stories...
The sound of rushing mighty wind breathing upon the dry bones...
The eternal Word bringing forth His bride from the nations...
Resounding with the glory of their Maker their Beloved,
Arising to meet Him, as the earth shakes with violence and the face of many grow pale.
His burning ones arise, filled with His glory filled with His beauty filled with His very breath His very life.
Her heart is brought forth in love, even in the darkest hour of history...
She cannot deny her Beloved for her heart beats with His,
For her mouth pours forth words she recalls from the secret place of His heart being poured into hers...
Her lips drip with honey and myrrh,
Flowing from an unquenchable flame which burns brightly at the core of her being...
This heart of hers is His, every part of it.
She has called for the winds to come and blow on her heart,
That the fragrance of her Beloved would flow forth,
From the bed of spices He laid so tenderly within the depths of her heart...
He has tendered her garden,
And she has kept it for Him.
She has heard HIs cry to arise and willingly she rises.
As He gives her heart strength to walk into the dark hour.
She fears not, as He has filled her to overflowing with HIs perfect love.
She knows He is with her, for she is abiding in Him.
He is her confidence...
This is my Beloved One, in whom I live and breath,
In whom I have found freedom, in whom has spoken hope to this weary soul,
In whom she finds all her delight.
He is faithful in revealing the destructiveness of all other lovers,
Who have tempted her to leave her first love,
To wonder from this perfect love,
Her Prince of Peace,
Who has called her His very own.
This is my Beloved One...
He draws me ever so near that I may see,
That I may taste,
That I may smell,
That I would know Him in the FULLNESS!
His goodness cannot be denied.
Although He is gentle and tender towards my heart,
He is also zealous that I would know Him in every area of my life...
Jealous that I would know His face, His heart beat for me...
Therefore a most vehement flame is set upon every other lover that tries
to take this heart away from HIm...
And that same flame, the fire of Yahwah, the fire of God Himself,
my Beloved One...
Is set upon my heart,
That I may know His great love for me.
I am sealed by His love His flame,
That burns ever so brightly upon my heart.
I am sealed for my Beloved One...
My forever King...
He has called me His own,
He has given me the honor of taking His name.
The Holy One Himself has cleansed me
So that I may walk hand in hand with Him.
Even here, now, across this land.
Surrounded by darkness, defilement and evil work...
Jesus calls me to arise, covers me with His Holiness,
Fills me with His Spirit of Holiness, and causes
This once dark heart and clouded mind defiled in every way,
Causes me to shine forth His flame,
And sets me ablaze in His unfailing love.
This love that cannot be destroyed...
This love that has eternal lengths...
From before the earth was formed,
His heart beat for us...
Even when this age ends,
and nothing but eternity future is left,
Still His heart will burn for us!
This God who is love...
A Pure Love..
In whom there is no defilement...
This Love is found nowhere else,
It comes from the One true God...
Who Is alive and longs for His return
to these who are called by His name.
So we join in the song of the Ages,
And we cry with Your Spirit
Come, my Beloved One, Come
Make the wrong things right...
Come.
May all who read this be awakened to what the Spirit of the Living God is saying to us this day...
ANd my prayer is that you too would join in this song.

Come look with new eyes... Come listen with new ears...
I awoke Christmas Eve to a chorus being sung into my heart... one which gave me hope and filled me with joy~ Holy Spirit speaks to me how He best knows I receive from Him straight to my heart. Funny thing is that I thought the chorus was from a Christmas Carol... but I'm not sure it is...
"Hark the heaven's angels sing,
a new King born today,
and now I live forevermore because of Christmas day..."
Is that from a Christmas carol?
(I actually have never really liked Christmas day... it carried so many other pressures and no real enjoyment but this year Abba wanted me to look with new eyes.. therefore meant doing things a little different yet finding so much more... this song was one coat of the revelation God gave me this Christmas... He is truly faithful to us!)
My spirit began to contemplate and these words flowed forth...
'Can you hear the song from heaven, singing all glory all honor all power be unto the Lamb...
I can hear the sound throughout every nation..
Glory Honor Power be unto His name.'
Contemplating this, how beautiful, the nations joining with the angels and heavenly hosts singing a song of praise and honor to our King who once came as a baby to speak of His love and the love of the Father to us... dying upon a cross... defeating the works of sin and death... conquering the grave... rising again... revealing His glorified body risen walking the earth to speak of His victory to His beloved ones... then ascending to heaven where He is now seated beside Abba... sending the Holy SPirit so that we have a divine Helper Counsellor Strength who is God Himself... then once more our King is returning for the most extravagant finale ever to be seen before... this is a song that is filled with all of these truths and promises and that is why to me it is such a beautiful hope producing song that we join together with heaven to sing a song of love to our King calling Him to come... come and do what He longs to do... make all the wrong things right and establish His Kingdom here on earth... and walk amongst us again.
This Christmas day was very humble... yet like I said God was teaching me so much... and in the undistinguished appearance of it all I found it to be quiet beautiful... possibly even the best one yet.
Having breakfast with the friends I live with, opening our one flat gift together and moving on to read the Christmas story in both english and german. We read from Isaiah 9 and Luke 2:1-40. We shared what spoke to us the most in hearing this precious news... it was funny as some parts for me was if I had never read them before and was new for my ears to hear... perhaps this is true... that God wanted me to hear it anew... new eyes and new ears to hear of His Christmas. I shared about how the Shepherds... how our God could have chosen anyone to come and proclaim this good news to, but He chose those who were nameless faceless humble people... the Angel of the Lord appeared to them the glory of the Lord shone around them... speaking of the Messiah and where they could find Him... and if that isn't beautiful enough a great company of heavenly host appeared with the angel and had a time of worship and praise with them unto the King... that which is about to be seen in magnitude was seen in a small portion this night... I love our God I love His enduring steadfastness seen throughout the ages. Beautiful.
As different ones filtered into rooms for rest or stretched out upon the couch... I sat, the cool breeze surrounded me pushing back the warmth of the day, and listened to what had been poured into my heart filling the pages of this journal I had begun a year ago.
Here I ponder...

Merciful Maker
I see the color fading from this sunburnt land.
Years of pain, seem to rumble through this nation,
As anger and frustration arise, tormenting a broken generation.
Confusion runs across the minds of many and settles,
As if this is it's home.
A grey cloud filters their gaze,
Causing a dark heavy shadow to fall upon hearts.
Torn inside wanting to escape, yet weak under the power of this darkness.
Merciful Maker,
Would You come shine Your Light
Shatter the darkness of despair.
Merciful Maker,
Come bring Your life into this dark and hurting land.
Merciful Maker,
Call Your Church to "Arise"
Take their stand, Shake off abandonment and rejection of old.
Merciful Maker,
Come clothe Your bride in Your beauty and Your strength,
Wrapped in Your love, Knowing she'd accepted in her Beloved One.
Merciful Maker,
Would You come heal this broken generation,
And the scars that have marred this weary land.
Merciful Maker,
I cry mercy, forgive me and my nation for our stubbornness and pride,
We cry have mercy, would You have mercy,
Come have Your way in this nation,
Destroy the wicked in this land,
Call Your people to come seek Your face,
To humble themselves and pray.
If you have found your eyes upon this page would you join with me in interceding for a nation, Australia the nation God Sovereignly chose for me to be born, a nation in great need of mercy from their Maker, in great need of a Saviour, in great need of knowing they are excepted in the Beloved Lamb of God Jesus Christ, knowing they have been accepted by our Heavenly Father the One who sent His only begotten Son the One who took the spear that they would know He loves them and wants them to eternally live in His Family adopted sons and daughters no longer orphans but sons and daughters of the Living God.... Holy Spirit would You flood this land with Truth would You Abba Father send forth Your Word that Your Son Jesus Christ would be glorified that He would be made known to a broken generation that is in desperate need of the giver of Life eternal the One who made a way for us to enter His Kingdom of Love and of Light forevermore... the One who holds all beauty, the One who gives pleasure forevermore, the only One who can bring this generation from death to life... my King would You arise in this generation and cause this nation to seek Your face, Jesus let Your face shine brightly over this dry and barren land. Have mercy on the nation of Australia, forgive us for our sins and the sins of our fathers, I bring the precious Blood of Jesus before Your throne and cry have mercy on this nation, send Your precious Holy SPirit to flood hearts awaken eyes and cause your loved ones to arise.
Thank you for joining me in prayer please continue to pray for Australia, that we would arise and step into our God given calling. May the Lord strengthen you, may His grace and peace be with you and your family always.

BE BOLD BE COURAGEOUS!!!
"...Then the churches throughout all of Judea, Galilee, and Samaria had peace and were edified. And walking in the fear of the Lord and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit, they were multiplied." Acts 9:31
This month i have been reading through the book of Acts and pondering our forefathers and the way they walked in this foreign land we dwell in... it was normal to see healing, to be transported in the Spirit, or at least know of a Brother or Sister who had witnessed this reality... they BOLDLY proclaimed and preached the Word of the Lord they walked soberly and in the fear of the LORD. I guess i have been stirred to seek after God in this and challenged to search my heart and ask questions as to why we are not seeing this throughout the body of CHrist... when God's Word is to be is to be BOLDLY proclaimed that signs and wonders may follow... am i living in fear (reverence) of the LORD or the fear (intimidation) of man?
A hunger is being stirred in me to see the church of today walk in the same anointing and greater works and anointing then the Acts church, and i believe this is the desire of God also to be glorified in and through us His body and to add to His (and our) inheritance of eternal worth and value, that is to see men and women worldwide to be added to His Kingdom, His family, sons of the Living God chosen in the Beloved... so go forth and multiply... proclaim with all boldness the Word of the LORD in the name of Jesus Christ that power may come from the Father, Jesus stretching forth His hand that signs and wonders may follow...
BE BOLD BE COURAGEOUS
Proclaim the Man of Truth, God HImself.
May Jesus be lifted high this day.
