Photos of 3rd day Easter conference 2012

 These are just some of the photos that were taken, but I feel that they still do not do justice to what took place over the weekend. If you could not make it, you really missed out and need to make an effort to come and join us next time round. Here with us you will see and feel the presence of God, guaranteed. If you are still doubting if there is actually a God, COME! See for yourself.



Pastor Abie preached the Word with power and did not hold back. He really is an anointed son of God and we learn so much from him. He is an inspiration to us all. He truly has a passion for the gospel. When he talks, it's action, action, all the way.




People were slain in the spirit as the hand of God touched them.
P.S. Pastor Abie did not.




Expectation was the order of the day and people eagerly desired the manifested presence of God.




God encounters and breakthroughs was the order of the day.




People felt a release and the joy of the Lord as He touched them. Liberty and freedom flooded the services.




Emotional healing took place.




When the Lord moves, one cannot but change and respond to His loving call.



Greater things are still to come!
JESUS IS LORD.

Feedback from Easter Conference 2012 (Mooinooi)


Our 3rd DAY EASTER CONFERENCE was truly a time flooded with the power and presence of the Holy Spirit..! Many lives where touched, changed and transformed but most of all there where God Encounters for many..! It is only HE that can turn a circumstance or a situation around...!

Long enough have the "church" experienced "man-encounters" and "man-sermons". We leave services unchanged and untouched, still broken...! I believe its time NOW! more than ever before, for the HOLY SPIRIT to take charge of our gatherings and services! "from visitation to habitation!"
I praise God for what He has done over this Easter Conference! Thank you Heavenly Father for always being so faithful, for the good work You have started, You will surely complete!

I have included below a letter from one of the congregation members of Mooinooi which attended, I believe this serves as a great testimony to what God has done over this time..!

Greetings & Blessings in Christ!
 Abie Heydenreich


"We serve a God which associates Himself with man...!"

The Lord sent forth His prophet to challenge us..to see.. to see deep within ourselves. God gives his prophet a plan, a set of instructions to serve Mooinooi. Every instruction having their own birthplace, this conference (3rd Day) gave Elijah Fire & Sword Ministries healing, victory, revival and salvation.

Just as Elijah the prophet built the altar through the word and the Lord answered with fire..so the Lord answered us.(1 Kin 18:36-38)

Chains where broken, hearts where healed and mended, the foolish received insight. Those who doubted the love, goodness and power of God suddenly found themselves in the presence of the Almighty Living God weeping and I believe transformation took place!

All the gates of hell shook as the balm of Gilead, the healing love and power of Jesus, was poured out over peoples' wounds!

Who can wipe away a tear that is not there? Therefore many masks were removed, healing and restoration could take place to the wounds created through rejection and loss of loved ones. Self-worth and identity were restored!

No one allowed the prophet to pass them by...for the prophet knows that God has a plan for every individual and a new day dawned for many...!

The Spirit of God moved like a mighty wind, people where healed and baptised in the Holy Spirit speaking in tongues...! Stumbling blocks of the past became stepping-stones for the future!

"Hanna's" was resurrected in Mooinooi (1 Sam 1:9-10) they stood up and decided to do something about their situation, leaping in faith towards God, putting surrender in their past, stretching forth towards a new future, one of purpose and destiny!

"Elijah's" stood up...God clothed them with authority, for their commitment towards Him has no boundaries and they are full of passion! I know their prayers will be answered and results are sure to come! The mantle was picked up. Hallelujah! the King saw them...! for their hearts are devoted to His Kingdom! They called and fire came down!

We serve the God of the Resurrection! The grave is empty and our hearts are flooded!

God prepared Elijah Fire & Sword  Ministries in advance! He flooded the place like a storm, a tornado!, a true advertisement of His unmerited favour! (Zac 10:1)

Thank you Jesus for what you have done at this Easter Conference!

A Prophetic Word (1)

"It is NOW the time for My worshippers, workers and warriors to rise up!  Have I not placed in your hands a spear...? Do you not see it...?  Secure yourself in Me, Go higher and seek Me so that vision can come, let Me be your Stronghold, then you will not fear them. Only then will you stretch forth your hand and I will strike together with you! says the Lord"  (Read Jos 8:18-19)

- We will see ordinary people accomplishing the extraordinary for they have realised that their God Has placed a spear in their hands! He has placed one in yours...! Do you see it...? It's now the the time to utilise our gifts and talents to the full, whether physical or spiritual! He wants to use you to ignite revival!

- We will see a greater intensity of intimacy with Him! Worshippers desiring to stir and touch the heart of their Heavenly Father more than soothing the ears of those around them. We need to fear God greater than what we are fearing man! It's time to gather at the High places as in the days of Samuel who went up to meet with God and came down prophesying! Wow! (1 Sam 9:19)

- A wave of destruction released in the camp of the enemy for those who choose to surrender and submit unto Him. He is the Lord of His armies, the One who fights for us! He destined you to be in an elevated position!(Eph 2:6) Do you realise that whatever comes against you, comes from a lower trajectory! It's time to push back the enemy, to crack the heads of scorpion's and snakes! Can you hear it...?  It's the sound of ground being taken! The heads of serpents being crushed, chains being broken, shouts of liberty and freedom, the sound of Heaven!     

- A people of vision rising! The victory has been destined for you, but only if you can see it before the battle even starts! We are called to be a people of vision! What do you see...? There where a valley of dead bones once, but Ezekiel saw a mighty army! (Eze 37) We are called to see the things others can't or don't see! Have the eyes of your heart been opened and enlightened to see the hope to which He has called you..? (Eph 1:17-19)

Rise fellow believer, rise! He destined you for purpose and destiny! Rise church, rise! I announce defeat over all of that which has drawn up against you! a Spear is in your hands, therefore stretch forth and stand firm, you're about to enter your victory!

Greetings & Blessings in Christ!

A Prayer for all our readers and followers!

Heavenly Father I pray for a release of heaven's best today, may we come to know and experience You in a much deeper and tangible way. I pray for a divine head-on collision with purpose and destiny, for You pre-ordained us towards good plans which You prepared for us in advance! I release upon your life today God-Encounters and God-breakthrough's that will shake the gates of hell...! I speak victory in your camp and destruction in every satanic, demonic attack against you in Jesus Christ Name!. I pray healing and restoration to be poured out in every area of your life and a new season of impossibilities made possible!
I announce and declare over your life a deeper and more intimate relationship with Him...!
I thank you Lord for the wind of Your Spirit blowing, a touch of Heaven that changes Earth!

In the Name of Jesus Christ
Amen!

God's plan of salvation

Did you know that God has a plan for your life?
How can you get hold of this plan for your life?
Are you sure beyond a shadow of a doubt that when you die you will go to Heaven?
 
Many times when these questions are asked, people respond by saying, "Well, no one can know for certain. I will have to do my best and wait and see."
Did you know that the Bible is written in such a way that when you read it you will find that God has good plans and eternal life promised unto us. There are only a few things that you need to understand in order to receive this gift that God offers, which is eternal life and to come into His perfect plan for your life.
Jer 29:11 "For I know the thoughts and plans that I have for you, says the Lord, thoughts and plans for welfare and peace and not for evil, to give you hope in your final outcome." AMP
To get God's plan started in my life, here are four steps to follow:

Step 1: You need to understand that you are a sinner. All this means is that you have missed the mark of perfection, which is God's standard. How, you may ask? Well, before we can get to that I need you to understand that the sin that is in you, you were born with. So, if for some reason you think that you have lived a perfect life, you still fall into this category.
 
Rom 5:12 "Therefore, as sin came into the world through one man, and death as the result of sin, so death spread to all men, [no one being able to stop it or to escape its power] because all men sinned." AMP
Rom 3:23 "Since all have sinned and are falling short of the honor and glory which God bestows and receives." AMP

You see, we are caught in an imperfect state which is totally unacceptable to a perfect God. The Bible tells us that God, who is perfect as He is, is unable to even look upon sin (Hab 1:13).

Step 2: Now that we understand that we are sinners we also need to understand that there is a penalty for not being perfect. The penalty is death. I am referring to eternal death.
Rom 6:23, "For the wages which sin pays is death, but the [bountiful] free gift of God is eternal life through (in union with) Jesus Christ our Lord." AMP
You and I need to recognize that there is a punishment for not being pure, and it is death. There is, however, light at the end of the tunnel.

Step 3: God is perfect, He knows that we are in need of a Sacrificial Lamb. One that can take away the sin that we are in. You see, no matter what we try to do, whether it's being a good person that never hurts anyone, being religious, paying our taxes on time or how about we don't lie or cheat... it is NEVER good enough for God (Eph 2: 8-9). There is only one way to get right with God and that is by His Son Jesus Christ. God sent His perfect and Holy Son Jesus to pay the penalty of sin which is death.
Isa 53:6,10 "6All we like sheep have gone astray, we have turned every one to his own way; and the Lord has made to light upon Him the guilt and iniquity of us all. 10Yet it was the will of the Lord to bruise Him; He has put Him to grief and made Him sick. When You and He make His life an offering for sin [and He has risen from the dead, in time to come], He shall see His [spiritual] offspring, He shall prolong His days, and the will and pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in His hand." AMP
Step 4: Now that we understand that we are imperfect and sinful and also know that the penalty for sin is death (eternal death). We also see that God sent a sacrifice to the Earth to save us from this eternal death. This sacrifice is Jesus. Jesus will take away your sin if you believe that He came in the flesh, died on the cross and was ressurected from the dead on the third day.

All you have to do is believe and confess that Jesus Christ died for you and conquered death...! 




Rom 10:9-11 "9Because if you acknowledge and confess with your lips that Jesus is Lord and in your heart believe (adhere to, trust in, and rely on the truth) that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.     10For with the heart a person believes (adheres to, trusts in, and relies on Christ) and so is justified (declared righteous, acceptable to God), and with the mouth he confesses (declares openly and speaks out freely his faith) and confirms [his] salvation.
    11The Scripture says, No man who believes in Him [who adheres to, relies on, and trusts in Him] will [ever] be put to shame or be disappointed." AMP
You may be asking, well how exactly do I do that?
It is as easy as praying this prayer:

God in Heaven, I understand that I am a sinner. I understand that I am not perfect. I need to get right with You and the only way I can do that is by asking You to be Lord over and of my life. I believe and confess that You came in the flesh, died on the cross for my sins and rose from the dead on the third day. I thank You for cleansing me and setting me free. I now ask for the indwelling and power of the Holy Spirit to transform and heal my life. I accept the wonderful gift of eternal life through Christ Jesus by faith. Amen.

Congratulations! You have been born into the Kingdom of Heaven and are part of a brand new family... God's family! 

*If you have prayed this prayer today, then please contact us and let us know, that we may pray for you and encourage you in your new walk with Jesus*

Joh 6:47 "I assure you, most solemnly I tell you, he who believes in Me [who adheres to, trusts in, relies on, and has faith in Me] has (now possesses) eternal life." AMP 
Now that you are saved, you need to grow in and learn of the Kingdom of God. How to do that is by:
  • Seeking God through prayer and reading the Word of God (The Bible) regularly. See our post on links to God's Word.
  • Seeking fellowship with fellow born again believers.
  • Attending a bible believing Church.

More About us...

Our desire is to see a prophetic generation rise...not only declaring His oracles and counsels but truly possessing them. Our focus is to train, equip and empower believers with the Word of God through the power of the Holy Spirit reaching spiritual maturity. To be transformed into His likeness more and more, running in revelation and truth, impacting the globe by His grace...with the cry of our hearts being..."Yes Lord let Your Kingdom come...Let Your will be done here on Earth as it is in Heaven...!" With true apostolic stature, prophetic vision and an evangelistic drive forming an unbreakable three fold cord we believe its time for a shift...! from survival to revival! His eternal Glory and Power made manifest!
Lord let Elijah's fire fall on our tongues and his sword pierce our hearts...!


Our aim and focus is:
  1. Loving the Lord God with all our heart, mind, body and soul. (Mat 22:37)
  2. Encouraging and seeking continually deeper intimacy and fellowship with our Master Jesus Christ through and by the power of the Holy Spirit with prayer, praise & worship and anointed word ministry. (John 4: 23-24)
  3. Being a love-driven and motivated church (John 13: 35)
  4. Cultivating a servant heart and attitude by serving the Kingdom through serving each other. (Phil 2: 5-8)
  5. Constantly desiring the spiritual gifts and exercising them to the maximum as the Holy Spirit leads. (1 Cor 14:1)
  6. Building the body of Christ (the church) through the five-fold ministry, reaching fullness towards the knowledge of Christ and unity in the faith. (Eph 4: 11-16)
  7. Being a voice of comfort, strength and encouragement to all (1 Cor 14: 3)
  8. Being a front runner and pioneer declaring the oracles and counsels of God boldly. (Eph 3: 10)
  9. Being a reflection of Christ to the glory of our Heavenly Father through the power of the Holy Spirit! (2 Cor 3: 17-18)

Links to God's Word

As mentioned before, we believe that the Bible is the inerrant, irrevocable, infallible, unadulterated and pure Word of God and our instruction manual of how to serve each other on earth, thus proclaiming the Kingdom of God to non-believers and believers alike. There is definitely power and life in the Word of God if you would only believe (have faith), make it your own and ACT on whatever instructions the Word of God gives. Holy Spirit brings life to the words in this book and the power of God can manifest on Earth as it is in Heaven. This is definitely not just another story book.



2 Tim 3:16-17 "Every Scripture is God-breathed (given by His inspiration) and profitable for instruction, for reproof and conviction of sin, for correction of error and discipline in obedience, [and] for training in righteousness (in holy living, in conformity to God's will in thought, purpose, and action),
    17So that the man of God may be complete and proficient, well fitted and thoroughly equipped for every good work." AMP

Heb 4:12 "For the Word that God speaks is alive and full of power [making it active, operative, energizing, and effective]; it is sharper than any two-edged sword, penetrating to the dividing line of the [g]breath of life (soul) and [the immortal] spirit, and of joints and marrow [of the deepest parts of our nature], exposing and sifting and analyzing and judging the very thoughts and purposes of the heart." AMP

Col 3:16 (a) "Let the word [spoken by] Christ (the Messiah) have its home [in your hearts and minds] and dwell in you in [all its] richness, ..." AMP
Joh 15:7 "If you live in Me [abide vitally united to Me] and My words remain in you and continue to live in your hearts, ask whatever you will, and it shall be done for you." AMP

As you can see God himself puts a lot of emphasis on His Word, and I would like to help equip you into fulfilling your destiny in becoming Christ-like as the son / daughter of God you are if you verbally accepted our Lord Jesus.

Gal 3:26  "For in Christ Jesus you are all sons of God through faith." AMP
Man is able to know the true and living God through His Word (the Bible). The Bible reveals God's character and His plan for mankind, meaning YOU. It is through reading His Word that we come to a knowledge of the righteousness of God and that which He requires of us. It is by repenting and believing in Christ that we can know God personally and experience His love.

I would therefore like to share with you some links that would help you to know the only true, living and loving God. There are several translations as well as several resources available including photos, concordances, dictionaries, commentaries, etc.

Now for something you may or may not have known.
Most of the modern world owns mobile phones right. You can also download a Bible application onto your mobile phone that is installed directly onto your phone and does not require Internet connection every time you want to use it. I personally use this a lot, because I can lay in bed next to my darling wife in the dark and still read my Bible without waking her up by having the light on. There are several translations available for you to download. With this application you can search for words, send a Bible verse in the form of a SMS or MMS, add bookmarks or view your reading history.

It looks and works something like this.


Visit these links using your phones' web browser to download them. They are free and you can download several onto your phone depending on the amount of memory you have available.

m.bibles.co.za
bible4phone.com
gobible.jolon.org

Alternatively you can search for "mobile bible" using your phones' web browser.
I personally use the "Opera mini" browser as, in my opinion,  it works much better than the browser of most phones. Go to m.opera.com to download.

I hope that this post helps you in your search and blesses you in your studies of God's Word.
