Becoming a Lightning Conductor - Part 4

This message was preached on Sunday 8th March 2009.

"Positioning Ourselves for Heaven to Kiss Earth"

Open your Bibles to the Song of Solomon - that is the whole theme. Trust God to live in health. Healing is great but living in health is far better! It is wonderful to be healed but it's a lot better to walk in divine health! That is the will of God that you may prosper and be in health even as your soul is prospering! A prospering soul provides the landing for the power of God to be transmitted to heaven through you so that we prosper in all things. You can't get into revelation unless you are receiving, drawing! You can't sit there lazy while I work my behind off! You have got to get your revelation button on! You have got to sit there desperate - our lives depend on it! Every week we must go to a new level! Cosmic and redemption realities are fully available to the church and we aren't walking in them but we want to! No one had to pray for Jesus to be healed! He walked among very sick people and didn't get sick but they got healed and because of what He was - we can be!

You can NEVER be satisfied where you are because the greatest miracles, signs and wonders, things that God has done in our lives - we are STILL in the shallows! I am still in the shallows! In the shallows we have seen great things and more things than most Christians in their entire lives but we say openly with joy that we are in the shallows but we are going into the realms of the depths of God because we are hungry, mad, crazy, not a Christian but a son of God! We don't want Christianity! Christianity is only mentioned twice in the Bible but dozens of time "sons of God" are mentioned! We are sons of God and Jesus has made the dwelling place of the Father and His heavenly mansions on the inside of me! He went to heaven to prepare a place for us and He will come back so where we are so may we be also! Keep them in the earth manifesting the kingdom of heaven and I will fill them with all the fullness of God! They will walk in the earth and be a people who will radiate heaven's full glory!

You better know that what we have seen is great but it is small and it is next to nothing compared to what God has given for the sons and daughters of the living God! How do we get into that realm? Revelation is an invitation to a divine encounter!

Without divine encounters you cannot move in realms of the glory! You cannot go to new levels of the power of God, to new levels of victory, strength and triumph in God without revelation!

Hebrews 5 says that people under the law are dull of hearing!

I go to churches where there is legalism and it doesn't matter how exciting you preach - they have no capacity to receive revelation because they have a veil over their heads, are dull of hearing, bored with revelation and don't understand it or have capacity for it - yet know the Bible and have Bible information but don't have revelation and don't have living water supernaturally flowing through their lives and there is too many of those types of Christians on the planet and the world is SICK and tired of Christianity - it is looking for the sons and daughters of God to manifest in the earth NOW!

We are talking about sons and daughters becoming lightning rod conductors that conduct heaven's influence into the earth. Jesus still stands in this desire - "Father, Your Kingdom come, Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven!". What is already loosed in heaven and what is already bound in heaven? I give you the keys to bind on earth what is bound in heaven. Sickness, disease, political oppression in the Sudan, in Zimbabwae - bind it! If you see evil and wickedness on the planet, if you see child sex trades, wicked governments impoverishing people, cancer, wheelchairs - "I am raising up a group of people like the Acts 5 church whose shadows will heal the sick and the glory will be so dense and concentrated and unfiltered and thick in their midst that sick people will be instantly healed and will throw their crutches away!". I am burning with that and I am going for that!

If this is the highest level then I give up God and I am not going to serve and I am going to go and become a champion marathon runner and forget the whole church thing! I don't want a religious club! I want a radical people that know what it is and what their assignments are! They are here to change history! They are here to topple evil! They are here authorised from heaven as ambassadors to administrate divine heavenly influence into the earth! If the church doesn't then Obama can't! There are things that are way out the range of earth's wisdom and earth's greatest attempts! And when earth tries to organise society and nations without reference to the Creator of the heavens and the earth then they are building a Babylon or a Tower of Babel that God will raise up and in the very next chapter He will bring them down and in Genesis 12 He will bring out HIS answer to the nations - Abraham. "I will bless you and make you a blessing to the nations!". (Galatians 3:29) says if you belong to Christ then you are Abraham's seed and heirs according to the promise.=

Romans chapter 4 says Abraham's seed and offspring are not heirs of the world through a righteousness that is of the law but they are heirs of the world through a righteousness that is of faith!

We are the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus! We stand before the Father in the same stature and standing that Jesus Himself is! We are joint equal heirs and heirs of God - equal heirs with Christ and as He is, so are we in this world! We have received fulness in Christ! You have been made complete in Christ! You have received fulness in Him who is the fulness of the Deity in bodily form and He is the head over all powers.

You have received circumcision of that nature that was bitter and cynical and didn't trust in the goodness of God so God had to put the law on Israel because the law is not based on faith and they didn't have faith in the goodness of God and the arrangement of Abraham so God had to give them the law to show them how cursed and full of death the law is! In Jesus we have received fullness and we have received a new nature cutting away that unbelief! Don't walk around saying "I am full of unbelief". You and I may have some unbelief hanging around - we will see how to break out of all unbelief and come into a place where we look at something and see it with faith and see it that can change and alter and line up with heaven!

He gave us a new nature and forgave us all our sins - before we had sinned ONCE, HE had already washed them OUT.

He cancelled the written code and the rules and regulations that stood opposed to us at the Cross and cut away the ministry of death and disarmed the principalities and powers triumphing over them at the Cross! We have fullness! Our Christian life isn't trying to get fullness - our Christian life is trying to get revelation of what that fullness is and entering into divine encounters! If you don't then before you know it you will be 75 and it is coming very quickly for us and you will be 85 and look back on your life and say "What did I do? I went to church and tried to have faith occasionaly and it didn't work and I guess it didn't work" - so you backed off where millions of Christians are casualties on the roadside of church history licking their wounds in bitterness and becoming critical!

I have been going 30 years because I have found out where the oil is! I have found out where the treasure is! I have found out where to stay fresh decade after decade after decade and not give up or get disillusioned but stay strong in the Lord and in the strength of His might and wait on the Lord and renew your strength and rise up and run and not grow weary and walk and not faint because I am running to the finish line!

We are speeding up and running without hindrances! We are throwing off unbelief and every hindrance that so easily entangles! No more "easily entangling" me unbelief! I will easily entangle you with faith! Life will swallow up death! Faith will swallow up unbelief! There is an intensity coming that will scare religious people! It will frighten them and it needs to! They need to have hell frightened out of them and heaven inspired in them!

I want to talk today about "Positioning ourselves that Heaven will come and kiss 7 million Hong Kong people!". Sometimes you say extreme things and if there is a small chance that could be true then I will get excited anyway! I am going to talk today about a biblically, doctrinally sound, revealed in the Bible precident about how to position ourselves for Heaven to come and kiss 7 million (of which the vast majority are unsaved) and I am expecting God to come as we position ourselves, as our stance and posture shifts in earth then heaven's position in earth can shift and heaven can come through the portals of our faith and kiss seven million Hong Kong people with LIFE and salvation in Christ!

Adam prophesied on Thursday night that one of the main things that God is going to be doing in these days is revealing the kiss of heaven - the kiss of God to the earth.

How many of you know that the Welsh can still sing? God came and for three years heaven kissed Wales! Policemen had to retire - the crime rates went so far down that evil was toppled. All the pubs closed down! The football teams gave up because everyone was crowding into the church to worship God! Why? Because in a short space of time 100 000 swearing, church hating, blaspheming, coal miners got kissed by heaven and their lives were forever radically changed!

I am not going to preach a gospel that says; "Listen you have got to get saved so you won't go to hell". I don't want you to go to hell but I want to see heaven come down and see heaven kiss you and me so much that we are so full of the kisses of heaven and so full of the romances of the glory that every day we wake up and glory is there and wherever we walk, sleep, work, think - that something is coming out of us that is pervading Hong Kong! And Hong Kong people may be bitter, cynical, worship idols, money, busy, but suddenly a tangible - not a Bible study! Or a tract! "But such as we HAVE - we GIVE to you". Wherever we go heaven is kissing Hong Kong!

In the middle of that Welsh revival they wrote many anointing songs! One of them was about being drunk in the Holy Spirit because they used to fall and get drunk in the Spirit which prior to that was so rigid and formal and dead but then suddenly God came and spiritual drunkenness and laughter of God came. The one song they wrote is called; "Here is Love vast as the ocean" and one of the lines is; "And heaven's peace and perfect justice kissed a guilty world in love".

How many of you know in Luke 15 - the parable of the Prodigal Son - Jesus gave it to give revelation of the nature of God because the law preachers, the Pharisees and Sadduccees had taken away the key of knowledge and they had stopped people entering into the goodness of what God revealed to Abraham. Jesus came with the parable of a son that had squandered his dad's inheritance and had been with prostitutes and had spent all he had on prostitutes and had been indulging but as the father saw this son coming home, the father started running to his son. In Hebrew culture it is not dignified for men to run once they are over the age of 30 in a public place. The Greek word there is not the word "jog".

There are many words there for "run". It was the word "sprint" and the Greek means that every muscle engaged in running hard was being expressed in the way the father ran. He ran with passion and he ran with delight and when he got to the son, the son had no time to repent. He was trying but the father wouldn't even listen to his repentance and it says the father "FELL" on his neck. There is a Greek word there that is important. He fell on his neck and "kissed" him and the Greek is the present, continous tense and that means he kept kissing and kissing and kissing! That son lost all interest in pig styes and prostitutes! Take law and condemnation and threats and give them grace and freedom and they can make mistakes but the Father wants to kiss you and keep kissing you and running to you and falling on you with his love!

If you come from a law type church then you don't have a clue what I am talking about and you don't know how to touch heaven or for heaven to touch you because the heavens are open but the LAW makes them feel like brass! They are OPEN! The only thing that is closed is the head that feels unworthy, undeserving, condemnation - that is demonic! That is a religious demon which is so active in Hong Kong trying to stop congregations trying to position themselves for heaven to come kiss them and through them to kiss millions of people into the kingdom of heaven. Our God is an extravagant God! He doesn't make love like most husbands and wives do! He is extravagant, full of perfumes and oils and joy and sounds and lightning and glory! He is our heavenly Bridegroom! He likes to taste what is under your tongue in the Spirit! He finds you - the Bride!

God is raising up His prophets to say to the Church - He finds you delightful! He is so in love with you! He is so angry with the law people in His church!

When Christ cancelled the law at the Cross and split the veil in the temple, He said "It is finished" and He cancelled the law - when religion sews that veil up and preaches the law then they are no longer preaching in the Holy Spirit but are moving in satanic power and much of the church have moved into satanic power because if you are preaching law then you are preaching something that is NOT on God's heart because that law was cancelled at the Cross! That veil was torn to show we can go into the Presence of God in our imperfections and in our failures!

Grace came through Jesus but the law was given through Moses. The law didn't come as a Person. God is not Law - God is Love! Law was given through Moses but grace CAME through Jesus! Grace is not a doctrine or a theology! We have never done a "grace series"! Jesus IS grace! God had to bring the law because of Israel's unbelief in His goodness that He revealed to Abraham.

It says in Acts chapter 7 and in Galatians chapter 3 and in many other places that the law was mediated by angels. Over and over again angels helped Moses write the law and brought the law and mediated the law. Angels saw the death and curse and judgement of the law. Angels know how dangerous the law is! Now Zion is a place of grace and myriads of angels are over Zion and none of those angels will ever bring the law to the church again because they know grace came and cancelled the law and they know what the law did because they were mediators of the law! That is why Paul says if any angel comes to you and preaches any other gospel that what he preached then let it be eternally condemned - don't worry about someone who goes on a 40 day fast and says an angel spoke to them about hell and people in hell being Christians - that gospel is a myth and may that gospel be eternally condemned! Paul said it! Don't just sit there and say "That's radical!". Someone should get outraged that for centuries it hasn't been made clear to the multitudes of God's people! When the law is taken off you and when you develop a "rainbow mentality" (rainbow means no more judgement and grace - an oath never to be rebuked) then it means no judgement, happy skies, no more wrath, He loves me totally!

When I find I have messed up the worst, I find Him kissing me the most! Now shall we sin more to get more kisses?! NO! He will kiss you anyway! It has got nothing to do with whether you sin or not! "To sin or not to sin" - that is not the question!

The question is - will you believe this gospel!? When you believe then He will kiss you! He is trying to kiss people under law but they are reminding themselves that they sinned yesterday and so are not worthy.

Most theologians will say that the Song of Solomon is a picture of Christ and His Church. Ephesians chapter 5 speaks about the Bride and her husband. Often that is preached at weddings and they can if they want but it is taking it out of context, but when they have finished all of that about a Bride and being all beautiful, he say; "But I speak a mystery - for I speak of Christ and the Church". He talked about love between a male husband and a female Bride. I go to the average church service and there is nothing revealing that mystery! There is no mystery there! It is just blatent religious programmes! Overhead projectors and "With my hands lifted up ...". I had a hard week this week! There is no mystery of being cherished and ravished by this loving God kissing you and you kissing Him back and worshipping Him with abandonement! That is demonic! That is misrepresenting Him to a world out there!

And showing it is all cerebral and doctrinal and theological and all doing it "right". No passion! No signs and wonders and miracles! No glory Presence! Just conservative people who are old-fashioned and are anti-gay, anti-this and anti-that!

I spoke to a Chinese atheist from China mainland who had never heard of Christianity and asked her "Who do you think Jesus is?". She said; "I don't know - but I think He is that guy who is just against abortion". All they have heard is what we are against! They haven't heard what we are FOR! Of course we don't want abortion and of course it is murder.

All the "anti" of the Church have caused the religious Reformed evangelical fundementalists of North America to lose credibility! That is why Obama is in! Because America got tired of judgemental politicians and evangelical Christians who can't keep their own pants up and are committing adultery and going to prostitutes in private while judging the world! We just say to the world; "We have got sin in our lives - you have got to know that. We get sick sometimes. We struggle with things but praise God our Father keeps kissing us! And the pig sty smell is going and those wounds are going because He is loving me into sanctification! He is living me into obedience! The power of sin is breaking off my life and I am starting to hate sin more and more and love His Presence and His will and what He wants for my life!". The world says; "I can buy into that!". Get ready for the kiss - here it comes!

Mystery! Much of the Church is in the mystery of Babylon and are intrigued by demon powers that own religious worlds. We are not in Babylon! Most of the wrath being poured out is being poured out against false religion and I promise you much of it is against what is being called church today. I know this isn't endearing me to many around the world but Jesus wasn't there to endear Himself to the Pharisees or the Sadducees! He was there to do His Father's will and He had the attitude of "to hell with the devil!". How will Hong Kong change? By us watering it down and being politically correct? By going to meetings and keeping our mouthes shut and fitting in? By keeping quiet while they say that sickness is a punishment for sin? So they have basically accused my Father of being illegal and breaking the law of "double jeopordy"!? Why would He punish the same crime twice?! You are accusing God of a crime when you preach this! No we just go quiet and walk out the meeting frustrated! And everyone says "Wasn't that wonderful unity?". It wasn't unity! It was a bunch of politicans getting together and Jesus had nothing to do with it! That is not unity! That is deception!

The prophetic HAS to by nature NOT conform!

There is a thin line between rebellion and non-conformity and we need to know where the line is! Leaders are people who don't conform! If you want to lead people out of the state of much of the world then you can't come into that state! You have got to come in with bombs! You have got to run in with glory suicide strapped to you and blow up the place! Then you get resurrected and you come out! How will the glory run through the streets of Hong Kong? How will the cripples walk through the streets of Hong Kong? How will miracles happen in our government at highest levels? How will our hospitals change? How will hundreds of thousands under the breadline in our city apply change?

Unless heaven kisses Hong Kong? How will things change? Does man have the answers and solutions in the earth realm? No! Man is throwing more money at the problem when the problem was caused by throwing money at the problem that didn't exist! Greed grabbed more money because mystery Babylon was in operation! And now millions are dying because a few were greedy and borrowed money for things they shouldn't have had! Now to solve the problem we are throwing more money! God has got a mystery in the earth called the Bride and it is not mystery Babylon or the United Nations who run from every conflict. It is not Babel! It is called the church of the living God and the Bride of Christ!

I belong to the Bride and that Bride is being awaken because it has been kissed with passion by a Bridegroom's call! You are here to change history and topple evil in Hong Kong! Your fun will be greater when you know you are fulfilling assignment to rip evil out of our city! Why would Jesus say; "The glory that You gave Me - I have given them and keep them from evil". Evil doesn't want us to be here but we have a glory on us that keeps us from evil. If you don't walk in manifest glory then you have no shelter from evil! You have got no shelter from law and rules and regulations! I want to talk about heaven's love for the earth. Heaven wants to kiss the vilest sinner on the earth!

We have left it upto too many theologians to interpret Revelation for us who don't know the difference between the Old and New Covenant and don't have any insights into the finished work of the Cross and their insights were wrong and scratched. There were seven seals that were open in Revelation 5 and they preceed the sounding of seven trumpets which preceed the releasing of seven bowls. If you study the bowls and the trumpets you will be completely confused. You have got to see the opening of the scroll by the Lamb who purchased all by His blood.

At the "Glory and Grace Conference" I am going to preach an insight into Revelation that is the greatest revelation of Jesus and the love of God for this planet and the power of judgement is going to break against mystery Babylon and evil religious practices - when those trumpets sound after the seven seals then I would not want to be in mystery Babylon!

I am a bit passionate about this! Here is the mystery of the Bridegroom and the Bride! I have deliberately left out some passages because some of you would blush. These passages were written by the Holy Spirit and you are not as holy as the Holy Spirit as He expresses intimacy and you can't handle it. In the military where atheists become Christians on the Angolan border, and they usually read pornography books - so one night I opened the Song of Solomon and they all usually want to borrow each others books. I put my candle on and I read the parts which I can't read to you because you are saved people. I read it to them because they were reading pornography so they could cope with it but you are Christians and you are holy and you can't! I didn't tell them it was the Bible and hid it below my sleeping bag! And they said; "Wow what book is that - can I read it after you?". I said "Yes it is the Bible!". I wish I had captured on video their faces! They said "No!". Suddenly they all wanted to read the Bible and they realised that the Bible had been mis-represented by Christians!

30 of those swearing blaspheming troops got saved and many of them are still going on with Christ today! I wasn't a Christian - I was a son! And I showed them that this is the mystery of God and His Bride! I told them "Don't go to church to check this out because you won't see it - you will see no passion or heavenly romance". Song of Solomon chapter 1:1;

"Let him kiss me with the kisses of His mouth for your love is better than wine ... let him bring me into his chambers". That is the King to the Bride!

Go down to (v12); "My lover is to me ... how beautiful you are my darling oh how beautiful". Then the church says back; "How handsome you are my lover!". This is church - Sunday morning! "Oh how handsome you are". All through the week I have been encountering your love, all through the busy week I have been concious of heaven! 2:3; "Like an apple tree ... I delight to sit in His shade .. His banner over me is love". The prophetic word God spoke to us today! "I am faint with love". How many of you have felt FAINT with love for Jesus? "I charge you by the gazelles ... do not awaken love .... here He comes! (Jesus!) bounding over the hills ... Arise my darling!" - talking to the church! -

"The rains are over and gone ... the season of singing has come ... arise, come my darling, my beautiful one" - this is His invitation to every individual every single day! 4:9; "You have stolen my heart!". We are clothed in garments of praise, worship, beauty of salvation, we are so beautiful and attractive to Him? "With one glance of your eyes". Sometimes when I pray I take on a look heavenward! The gender thing is mute - we are sons of God and daughters are called sons of God. As a man we are part of the Bride! Don't get too gender concious! "All are one in Christ!". This is JESUS saying; "With one glance of your eyes ... how delightful is your love ... milk and honey are under your tongue". (v16); "Awake ... blow upon my garden ... let my lover come ... I have come ... I have drunk my milk". And it gets more and more glorious and to think this is the mystery of Christ and His Bride!

Now go to 2 Corinthians chapter 5. For the glory to flow in the streets of Hong Kong, the glory must first flow in the church. Every Sunday morning across Hong Kong when 100 000 worship - maybe 200 000 at most - in a city of 7 million - is the glory flowing? Is there this face to face intimacy with God? Are people being healed? Are they bringing people from all the surrounding streets to be healed? Or is it programme worship and a nice sermon and then we go home? That can go on for a million years and then Hong Kong is finished! It can't go on! People are dying! We have had the crusades and evangelists have turned up! And the majority of the unsaved don't come but Christians go up and rededicate their lives again because they feel so guilty under law! There can be a negative affect to Reinhard and Benny Hinn coming because people rely on that and then go back to church as normal and in the book of Acts God didn't rely on just Philip to get Samaria sorted but local churches full of the glory so that all around were aware that God was in that city and all the time! Every week! Every day! God was in that city and thousands of people were conductors of heaven's glory and were portals of glory and weren't just taking but were taking and given into the spiritual atmosphere of their city! So I would love to go to a unity meeting with hundreds and hundreds of churches gathered if we understand this!

2 Corinthians chapter 5 and we are talking about God "kissing" Hong Kong. For Him to do that you have got to allow Him to kiss you. For Him to kiss Hong Kong I have got to stop being so shy! "No don't do that again! Don't do that!". But it is a present continuous tense! You have stolen my heart, my sister, my Bride! I cherish you! Husbands love your wives as Christ loved the church and gave Himself for her! He gave Himself for sinning, wicked, evil people who put Him on the Cross under the law and He hung there naked! No loin cloth! Naked! Why? Because He looked at us in all of our sin and once glance from us to Him - "God so LOVED the world". We won His heart! He gave Himself for the church! Most of the church won't let Him kiss you! If you are uncomfortable with revelation of the Bridegroom and if you are a woman or a man and are married - sexual intimacy should not happen outside of marriage. It is not a law. It is a reality that reveals Christ and the church. Every time we take the privilidges of marriage without the responsibilities of marriage then we violate the mystery of the Bridegroom and the church. It is not law! It is mystery. We cheapen this thing! This thing we have with Jesus was a covenant broken with blood. The breaking of the hymen of heaven! This covenant was contracted into a privilidge of heaven's glory with the responsibilities of faith!

Sex outside of marriage is an absolute perversion of this mystery. If you are uncomfortable and you think God would never make you uncomfortable then you are wrong! Jesus made people feel uncomfortable - so much so that they tried to kill Him several times! They tried to throw Him off a cliff and He walked right through the middle of them. The only time they could get Him was when He gave Himself. The only way God will kiss Hong Kong is if the church stops pushing Him away in their frigid, rigidity! "No Jesus - no intimacy! I have had a bad week!". But My daughter, My bride - I am lovesick for you! "I have sinned this week". Get the law off and get into grace where He loves you so much that the smell of His fragrance and perfume goes with you and permeates the whole of Hong Kong and the heavens start kissing the city. The reason why Hong Kong is not being kissed by the mystery of the Bride is because it has been kissed for a century by the mystery of Babylon chasing money. The trade systems of men and religious demon worship of idols!

The worst perpetrators of idol worship has been the church in Hong Kong. They worship idols more than other religions do.

Let's see God's attitude to the world and these lost people out there. 2 Corinthians 5:18-19; "Who reconciled us to Himself ... ministry of reconciliation". We have been given this ministry to release a revelation that heaven has reconciled itself with the whole world. That is your ministry to let the earth know! You are ALREADY reconciled to heaven! (v19); "reconciling the world to Himself in Christ not counting men's sins against them". Who? Church people? No! God was reconciling the world to Himself not counting men's sins against them! And He has committed to us the message of reconciliation! And what is our message? God is reconciled to you world! He is not counting your sins against you! (v21); "God made Him who had no sin to be sin ... so that in Him we are imputed the righteousness of God". Jesus never sinned but He was given the free gift of our sin and we are given the free gift of HIS righteousness so we are equal to God in righteousness because we have the righteousness of God that is in Christ Jesus!

Go to Hebrews chapter 9. Babylon means "confusion" whereas Jerusalem means "city of peace". God's people are coming out of Babylon and coming into the heavenly Jerusalem. Most of the church is confused - don't know if they are under law or grace! God healed all our sicknesses at the Cross but doesn't He sometimes put sickness on people as judgement?! No! That is Old Covenant! Under New Covenant He reconciled the world to Himself!

God is relating to the world totally different from the time of the Cross! He is seeing lost people differently! Not counting their sins against them! He has declared righteousness as a GIFT! ALL our sins were put on the One who never sinned and ALL His righteousness was put on us who have never done righteousness!

So my on-going permament state before God is FOREVER righteous because God's righteousness cannot fade or diminish by my bad performance!

I don't have a righteousness based on me at all but on the obedience of the one Man Jesus Christ! Let's go to Hebrews 10 and see what Jesus did in heaven. Guys - stick with me because I have got to finish this today. I must finish this! Next week we are going to talk about elements or traces of unbelief in our hearts that hinder us conducting the fullness of heaven. I have got to get this in before "Glory and Grace" and then next Sunday and God said to me those two things have to be put in place before "Glory and Grace" to position this church to host heaven in the "Glory and Grace conference". Hebrews chapter 9 - if you are a law preacher then you will tell people that before they go to heaven they will have to stand before a throne in the Presence of God and appear there and their whole life will be spread before them and they will be judged. The New Testament doesn't say that! The New Testament doesn't say you appear before a throne in heaven to be examined and judged! Someone else appears on your behalf for you and His Name is Jesus your great High Priest!

He is in the order of Melchizadek! Under the Levitical order if you did good then the Levitical priests would bless you but if you did bad then they would curse you - in fact they would stone you! It actually said if your children don't behave then take your own children out and kill them under law! These people want to bring law back and I wish they would bring it back to it's full extreme so that people could see! But they don't - they are like the Pharisees and water the law down to what is palatable for civilised and decent church-goers! No! The law says cut hands off and pull eyes out! Stone people! Kill your own children!

Melchizadek was an order of priests of grace that blessed Abraham with heaven! Melchizadek gave Abraham heaven's blessing! The question is not am I good enough but is HE good enough? Yes! He is your representative! If Israel's high priest was good then Israel would be okay but there was always this nervousness that his sons may be bad guys and then we are in trouble! Then the crops will fail and there will be curses because it was all about the high priest! Israel went through confusion and destruction and in Hebrews it says our high priest isn't a high priest due to ancestral lineage but on the basis of an indestructable life. The Perfect One who is yesterday, today and forever the same (Hebrews 13:8) and we quote it at healing meetings but it is about His priesthood! He represents you and me forever in the heavenly realms!

Your life is hid with Christ in God and God can't see your sins and doesn't know they exist and they are all gone and the law has been blotted out and He is not counting your sins against you!

And you have still got Christians going "No - dont kiss me - I don't deserve it!". What grace that He doesn't say fine and leave? He did that to Israel eventually! And gave them the law! If people keep resisting grace then they are positioning themselves to be bewitched and go back under law. Don't produce Ishmaels! Don't mess up and think you have to put a bit of law in to make you better! No - just stay in the power of the Spirit and He will change your life and you will get victory in that area. Don't rush it! Otherwise you will produce an Ishmael! I don't want an Ishmael holiness that the church is impressed with! It is all my flesh and external holiness. No - we want heart transformation by believing this message and enjoying God and letting Him kiss us! Hebrews 9:24; "He entered heaven itself now to appear for us in God's Presence! Nor did He enter heaven to offer Himself again and again ...". (v26); "Then Christ would have had to have suffered many times ... now He has appeared once for us". The sin issue has been dealt with! It doesn't make us want to go out and sin! It has the opposite effect! Kiss me again! The more He kisses me, the more I am in love with Him and the less sin has power!

If you do sin then He doesn't count it against us! (Hebrews 6) Jesus went into the Holy of Holies on our behalf to anchor our soul in the substance of eternity forever appearing for us! The Church forgets though that He is there for the world too! Go to 1st John chapter 2.

I haven't found a church once anywhere on the planet that is in revival or full of life where they have fifteen or twenty minute sermonettes and it is just to fit in or cater to man's convinience. Revival churches never cater to man but to heaven and for God! If people are too busy for these things on a Sunday morning or a Thursday then they are just too busy.

1st John chapter 2:1; "I write this to you so that you will not sin". So that you will not sin. So grace preachers are not preaching to get people to sin! "But if anyone does sin then we have one who speaks to the Father in our defence, Jesus Christ the righteous one". Sin has been judged and punishment and wrath have been poured out on our sin! (v2); "Not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world". So when people say that the Holy Spirit is convicting the world of sinning then they are crazy! Why would the Holy Spirit convict the world of sins that Father is not counting against them and Jesus has already forgiven them and reconciled them and dealt with and taken away those sins and appeared in the Presence of God for the whole world?! So why do people go to a lost eternity - if all their sins are dealt with? Because of one sin of unbelief in grace. Grace and truth came through Jesus - unbelief in Jesus is unbelief in grace and is a belief in a religious system and in law and atheism and evolution - something that is an arrogant charade against a creator God.

In the book of Revelation you will see in the last days that God's glory will so fill the earth with awe and activity of angels and miracles happening along with counterfeit miracles happening by mystery Babylon! Churches that are not positioning themselves to understand the anointing and the ways of heaven and how righteousness works will not know WHAT is going on when this stuff appears on our planet!

That's why the prophets are getting so urgent around the globe now! And pastors are going; "Let's keep everyone happy and everyone safe". No that is not good pastoring! Good pastors teach their people what prophets are and teach their people not to get offended with them and then good pastors don't invite idiot and unaccountable prophets without a long track record of accountability and a marriage that has lasted years with no financial scandals or abuse and then get that prophet in with good theology on grace! And prepare your people! Because they need to start welcoming prophets back on the earth the way they welcomed Jesus because I promise you that prophets are announcing trumpets that are being sounded; "Awake sleeping church!". No generation is going into what we are going into now!

Go to John 16 - what is the one sin Jesus couldn't die for? Unbelief in grace. Under law sinning is falling short of the law. Under the New Covenant since the Cross sin is unbelief in grace and in Jesus. Romans 14 - anything not of faith is sin. Galatians 3:12 - the law is not based on faith. Law people are sinning all the time while they try and keep the law because they are not operating in faith of Abraham. They are full of sin and judging people who make mistakes and do something they shouldn't have.

John 16:7; "It is good for you that I am going away ... if I go I will send Him to you ... He will convict the world of guilt in regard to sin and righteousness and judgement". It is to my embarressment that about nine years ago I used to preach this text right out of it's context. Remember I said a text out of context is a text that will con you. It is like writing a new Bible! These verses are inspired by your religious ideas. I used to preach that the Holy Spirit was coming into the world and into Australia and Adelaide and He is making sinners feel so convicted and so guilty about their sinning and the Holy Spirit is showing them the standards of righteousness that they must live upto and He is making them feel guilty that if they don't then judgement is coming! That is BLASPHEMY to preach that and it is anti-Christ and anti-the finished work of the Cross. I didn't know I was doing it! One day I heard the Holy Spirit speak audibly to my heart and I hadn't even heard anyone preach this! Since then I know of four or five different ministries that say what I am about to say. He said; "Rob stop stopping at verse 8 and read verse 9 because My Son Jesus explained what the Holy Spirit would do regarding sin, righteousness and judgement".

Go to verse 9. "In regard to sin, because men do not believe in me". That is the sin that the Holy Spirit is convicting the world of - unbelief in Jesus! Unbelief in grace! When the Holy Spirit comes to Hong Kong He will start convicting everyone that it is dangerous to not believe in grace! It is dangerous to put your faith in religious faith systems - put your faith in grace! He is convicting them of sin of unbelief! No other sins because those sins are not counted against us anymore! The counsel of the defence at the right hand of the Father is for the WHOLE world!

LEGALISTS UNDERESTIMATE THE POWER OF THE CROSS!

That's why I want to preach the book of Revelation - Jesus the mighty Lion! Revelation is about the champion that conquers evil! Evil is going to be broken! Let's see what righteousness we will be convicted of. (v10); "I am going to the Father where you can see me no longer". What is He doing at the right hand of the Father? Speaking in our defence! Declaring to our hearts that He was made sin and there is no sin counted against us and we were given His righteousness! He goes as the great High Priest and He will convince the world that all their sins are not counted against them and there is one sin that seperates us - unbelief in grace! And once they start believing in His grace then He will convict them of the free gift of righteousness and that He is in heaven as the defence of the whole world! It is so clear but for centuries lies have been preached about the precious Holy Spirit!

Then what is this judgement about? (v11) The judgement has got nothing to do with us! "The prince of this world now stands condemned". Who is the prince of this world? I promise you that it is not Jesus! 2 Corinthians 4:4 calls Satan the god of this world! John 14:30; "I will not speak with you much longer for the prince of this world is coming and he has no hold on me". Who is the prince of this world? Satan! 1st Corinthians 2:6 says; "The Cross was God's secret wisdom destined for our glory ... had the princes of this world known they would never have crucified the Lord of glory".

When the satanic powers stirred up Herod and the mob they fell into an ambush that was destined for our glory that was God's secret wisdom before the world began! It says in Colossians 2:15 that Christ triumphed over principalities! At the Cross your sins were taken away and God is not counting them anymore! At the Cross the rules and regulations were taken away and God is not putting us under the condemnation of the law anymore! At the Cross the prince of this world was judged! When you see this and when the Holy Spirit comes to the world then He starts kissing them and loving them again and again; "You don't believe in grace, you don't believe in grace - come on, come on!". While He convicts them of unbelief in Jesus, He is also empowering them with an anointing to enable their hearts to believe!

How did I believe? The Holy Spirit convicted me for 3 moinths as a Hindui and suddenly I just believed! And I saw that there is a great High Priest! Some Christians do not see this because the Holy Spirit is not there in their meetings! The Holy Spirit can reveal the lies that have been on the church!

That's why evangelical fundementalism is coming down in North America! Because the world is saying "Something is wrong!". Something is wrong when evangelicals get up and say that the Twin Towers going down in flames is God judging America! No! That was satanic people flying planes not God! Everyone goes to church after the Twin Towers because of fear of judgement and the motive is fear! I am a surfer and I know beaches in Durban where sharks came and killed people. Within 4 days people went swimming again! Fear doesn't stop people! Fear won't make people go to church! The love and beauty of God will! The Holy Spirit then says; "You know this feeling of condemnation you know as a Christian? The law has gone!". Yes but God I feel so accused! "There is an Accuser of the brethren! He is condemned! What he is doing is a lie! He is judged!". He is kissing the world and loving the world! God has reconciled us in Christ! God is not counting your sins against you! You are reconciled!

NOT just the church! The world! But the church doesn't see this and lives under condemnation and keeps sin in it's life! But then goes; "Yes well at least I have got some hope of going to heaven because the blood sort of clenses and I am trying hard at least! Those other sinners just look all the time and I am actually quite jealous because I would like to do what they are doing! But I can't! Because I am afraid of this horrid God and to hell with them all and I am glad they are going because they are having more fun than me!". Can you see why much of the church cannot conduct heaven's kisses into the earth because they think that the Holy Spirit wants to smack them and bring poverty on Hong Kong and bring fire and torture people!? Who wants to spend eternity with a God that hates and rapes and tortures and destroys!? That's why many Aussies are saying forget it! They would rather go to hell with all their mates! I don't blame them! They got that from the church! Their church services are so boring and Satan loves it! The devil is jumping condemnation on them! It isn't the Holy Spirit! It's the devil condemning! This is the New Covenant after the Cross!

Peter and John asked if they could call fire down on the Samaritans and Jesus said; "Oh that is the Old Covenant! It is the wrong spirit! You can't call wrath down and heaven's love for salvation!". That is Babylon and confusion! We have the good news of peace! The angels announced when Jesus was born; "Peace on earth and good will to men". Angels announced it! But then we come out of the Christmas service and proclaim coming wrath! No - Jesus came with good will to all men. Read the Old Covenant prophets and they all prophesy over Someone coming who would redeem the whole world. The whole world is redeemed and reconciled and is not having their sins reconciled against them and Jesus Christ is right now in heaven in defence not only for you and me and the church but for the whole world! The only difference between them and us is that they haven't yet believed in grace because they haven't heard much of grace but of judgement and wrath and fear! Any Christian in Hong Kong that were going to church out of fear and told that God is angry with you if you don't go to church - they all went less and less often. I mean them all over! Not because of anything else but a false gospel being preached that stops heaven breaking into Hong Kong!

Last Scripture and we close. What we are involved in is not just a nice church but a church that will influence nations! We must accelerate! Acts 10. Last week we finished with Peter's hypocrisy and I explained what Peter's hypocrisy was. When born again legalists came, Peter was afraid of them because they intimidated him. It was a demonic power on them and on legalists. In their presence we start acting all false and holier than we really are. We start agreeing with them but it has gone now! No one will ever intimidate me again! I am never going to play their game again. Peter played that game and became a hypocrite and Paul challenged him! He said to an apostle; "You are clearly in the wrong! You are a hypocrite! Your hypocrisy is taking over the Antioch church and they are moving from grace back into law because of YOU!".

Peter repented! Peter wanted to call fire down on Samaritans and now He wants to move the gospel on sinning Gentiles but can't use Peter because he still believes he is under law and still has some Babylonian hangovers. Peter thinks that the sinners out there are defiled, ugly, unclean and impure! But God is not counting their sins against them! Peter can't conduct heavens kiss to the Gentile sinners because of a religious block in his thinking! Heaven must come and kiss Peter so through him it can kiss the sinners into salvation.

Acts 10:9; "he fell into a trance". Trances in the Holy Spirit are quite biblical!

(v11); "He saw heaven opened". Revelation - heaven coming down - biblical! "Kill and eat". Now Peter is so holy he is trying to lecture God Himself. That's how established religion can destroy someone. (v14); "Surely not Lord! I have never eaten anything impure ... Do not call anything impure that God has made clean. This happened three times .... do not hesitate to go with them for I have sent them". These men are Gentiles under the law and are Italians and Peter shouldn't be able to go with them! But under a vision he knows that God is speaking about going to the lost! (v23); "... As Peter entered the house ... I am only a man myself ... but God has shown me that I should not call any man impure or unclean!". What a massive paradigm shift in this man! Then Peter gets up and preaches grace and in (v43); "everyone who believes in Him receives forgiveness of sins through His Name".

Peter did NOT say God will forgive you IF you believe. Forgiveness has ALREADY been done! The tragedy of people in hell is that God forgave all their sins at the Cross! They are there because of one sin - unbelief in grace. Forgiveness is already done. If you believe - that is when you receive what is already available!

When they heard this, this is the climax and finale! (v44); "The Holy Spirit came on". Check out the Greek. In most translations it is "fell on". It is the same Greek word in Luke 15 when the Father "fell on" and kissed the neck of the prodigal son. The Holy Spirit couldn't wait! The Father ran! Before Peter had finished his message, heaven came down and fell on them and kissed them! (v44); "ALL". It wasn't a few that came up to be saved. "The circumcised believers were astonished for they heard them speaking with tongues". How many of you saw them repent? Did they repent to get saved? The prodigal son didn't get a chance to repent and nor did Cornelius and his house! They are still preaching Old Covenant John the Baptist repentance! New Covenant repentance is simply change the way you think! You are saved from law! There is a new time and God is relating to the earth differently now! This is a whole new deal! Can you imagine if we got every church and every believer as a portal - can you imagine how heaven would fall on and kiss 7 million Hong Kong? If the church doesn't wake up and do it then we are going to build the biggest church of unbelievers today!

I want to plant a church with a whole load of sinners who don't know about Old Covenant hierarchy! They just don't know! They just come in and go "This is church!".

He handpicked us! Some have come out of curiosity! But have gone because they are orientated wrong. You are able to endure long messages! You come on Thursday and pray and push through. He is establishing a company of people on assignment from heaven to see Hong Kong kissed! In the Welsh revivals the Holy Spirit fell in church services and fell on the church and then it became so fall and He began fallling on open meadows and open streets! In the Hebrides hundreds went to the police station because they were just getting kissed in the streets and they went and gathered! Duncan Campbell had to go and preach and tell them what they were receiving! No preacher! The biggest problem was to get a stubborn denominational church moving. Evan Roberts single-handedly lead that the church in Wales and said; "If the church will bow it's knee then the world will bend". But the church wouldn't bow it's knee because it loves its programmes and it's religious hierarchy. I am tame compared to Jesus! I have never cracked whips!

He said to them in John 8 that their father was the devil so they were conducting devilish practices into the community. This woman should have been set free after 18 long years! You think there aren't spirits plotting to kill me!? You don't know a fraction of the emails Glenda and I have to read! I try to be a nice person and try to get up and be nice! And I get up and smell a bit of religion in the room and then I don't switch it on - He does! When He switches it on - here we go again and we have another hour!

We are preaching not for 100 people but for millions of people! We are preaching for a congregation called City Church to lay hold of revelation, have divine encounters and in unity pull heaven into Hong Kong!

There is a Flood of Glory Coming!!

This sermon by Rob Rufus marks the beginning of the "Glory Encounters" weekend with the guest speaker Joshua Mills. This weekend is particularly special to me because my dear friends Julie and Aaron Morris managed to get to Hong Kong to be present at the church for this time and we are all waiting eagerly to hear from them as to what God has done in their lives. I am expecting great things! I really believe that the heavenly download that God gives them this weekend will not only affect them - but their church in Canada - "New Covenant Grace Church" - and also all of us to whom they share their testimony with.


I am not quite sure whether this sermon is part of the "Invading the Impossible" series or a stand-alone so I won't mark it as "Part 13" or anything like that. Just enjoy it for the solid gold prophetic teaching that it is!


"There is a Flood of Glory Coming!!" - Sunday 13th April Morning Service.


"Good! Millie, how's your teeth? God filled Millie's teeth with platinum which I am told is even more refined that gold - which is wonderful. Do you know that I was reading some emails this morning - because we had hundreds of emails after being away two weeks and so many encouraging words about what God is doing through the "Glory and Grace Conference" in Sydney and on-going from here in Hong Kong. A few were describing what the attacks against the grace message were like - it doesn't worry me! I feel quite relaxed with that - in fact I feel normal if there are attacks. I get worried if you are not being attacked because you are not doing the ministry like Jesus did and something is wrong!


I tell you this before God with a clear conscience - every one of those emails that told me about reactions that are negative and saying this message should be balanced and Robs ... ! Every one of the people who wrote to me and said; "Rob I can't believe they are saying this - we know your heart, we know what you are preaching, it is the Word of God and we are for you". Every one of the letters had literal gold dust on them as I was reading them. Gold dust fell on them while I was reading! So I was saying; "Yes Lord - I hear what You are saying!".


You cannot make an impact in the world and bring down the control governments without some kind of reaction going on. When you joined this church you joined a revolution that will bless millions of people - but not bless a few! I want to tell you that our hearts are to win the few into the grace of God and not to get mean and react - we are to walk in the love of God! How can you preach the grace message and then get all mean and bitter and twisted and reactionary?


The way to handle pressure and the way to handle opposition is two things. 1. To stay in the vision that God has called you and don't come out of that vision to negotiate with people who want to water it down. 2. Stay drunk all the time! Because drunk people don't notice criticism! When you step out in a big project - stay drunk in the Holy Spirit!


I used to get drunk all the time at university and I used to get drunk and take on the biggest guys in the pub. I have witnesses who would run for the door and I would get drunk and go up to the biggest guys and take them on. Because I wasn't afraid because I was drunk! When you are drunk you take incredible risks of things. So when God wants you to change a nation or to step out and raise the dead or do a miracle that is absolutely beyond human possibility - God doesn't ask you to do that.


First He gets you drunk in the Holy Spirit and then when you are totally motherless then He says to you; "Will you do this? Will you do that?". And you say; "Of course!!". On route to doing the miracle or the project - DON'T SOBER UP!! Because you will get the fright of your life!


Don't sober up! The reason why many Christians don't do the miracles that God called them to do while they were drunk is that they sober up on the way to the miracle. Stay drunk! And you understand here - I am not talking about being drunk with alcohol! I am talking about being drunk with the new wine! Won't you open your Bibles please to Acts chapter 5 - and we will look at a few Scriptures here. The subject here is; "A Great Flood of the Glory is Coming!!". It is unprecidented, it cannot be compared with anything that has happened in any other generation before, a great flood of the glory is coming to the planet now! It is already arriving!


So I want to prophecy to you today. Prophecy carries the creative power to make happen the very things it declares. So I am going to read these Scriptures and then the spirit of prophecy is going to come on me - I believe that and have felt it all this week. As I prophecy to you, it will come with creative power to enable you to do it! You will be able to do this and receive this in the glory.


We are receiving a ministry tonight - Josh Mills is one of the leading ministries raised up by God to help the church into the realms of the glory through praise and through worship. So we are positioning ourselves this morning to receive the maximum opportunity opening to us tonight. Now folks - today is a good opportunity to prepare for tonight. So this is a very responding church. Now and again I have got prime you a bit because you go quiet on me but generally you are very responding. Let's take that up another level today so that when Joshua comes here tonight, if he wants to quieten us down then let that be his responsibility! Let him not have to stir us up, because everywhere he goes when I watch him on DVD's - he is always saying; "Come on guys - lift your hands! Come on - praise Him!". I hope he doesn't have to say that one time tonight!


I mean if the most miserable motivation is so that I can look good, then do that for me! There is a lot higher reason than that!


Because when you pull something out of a preacher - that preacher gets gold from heaven, diamonds from heaven - and I am not just talking about literal gold. I am talking about revelation! We create atmospheres for preachers to minister in that are unprecidented!


So if he says tonight; "Lift your hands" or "Come on now - give Him a praise in this house" (which he often says) - let it only be by habit! So if he says it tonight, I won't feel discouraged if I know that you guys are going over the top! So I am talking about 10 times more intense responses than what is happening right now! He is not nervous - Americans are used to that! They are not used to quietness! North Americans love fanfare - so do I! I have a bit of American DNA in me! Let's just pretend you are not from Britain! Let's pretend you are not from Australia or New Zealand - let's pretend you are not from Africa or Hong Kong - but let's pretend you are like the angels around the throne of grace. Let's pretend you come from heaven and are seated in heavenly places in Christ Jesus - let's pretend you are with the angels crying; "Holy, holy, holy is the Lord - holy is He!". Let's pretend we are Kingdom people!


I am so blessed! I think you have got it! We don't have to pretend or be false - we are seated in heavenly places! Ephesians says we are citizens of heaven - we are people of the Kingdom! We were in darkness but now we have been brought out of darkness into His marvellous light to declare the praises of our God! So we are not operating as Australians, New Zealanders, British, or Chinese - we are operating as the people of Kingdom. We are a New Creation! We are a species of being! We have to get rid of the conditioning of our past - everything from the past, the abuses, the rejections, the betrayals - even the cultures that contradict the Kingdom! They have all passed away and we are new creatures in Christ Jesus! Old things have passed away - all things have become new!


The word "New" is the word for this time! It is NEW! Up until last Sunday I was speaking about "this season" that we are in. But this week, God spoke to me and said;


"Do not speak about 'this season' anymore! Do not speak about 'this season'. You cannot describe or define what you are in right now as a 'season'. A season is a repeat - you get a summer, autumn, winter and spring. They are repeats of the same thing! You are not going into a season! You are going into something that is completely new! It has never happened before! Do not call it a 'season' - that is misleading. All true prophets - My prophets will never call this thing; "A season". They will call it a new climate of miracles, a new atmosphere of miracles! New dimensions! It is a new dimension never been in before! It is not a season - it is a flood of glory coming to the planet!".


These are not the days of Elijah! These are the days of the Holy Spirit! These are not the days of Elijah! These are the days of the book of Acts! Elijah had limited miracles - these are the days of unlimited miracles! These are the days of glory covering the earth! These are the days of works Jesus did and greater works! These are the days I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh! The weakest in the house of David will be strong like David and the house of David shall be like God the prophets say! We are living in days that were never seen or never fulfilled in the past! We will never look back to Azusa Street or the Healing Revivals and say "Oh I wish we could go back to those days - oh weren't those days great?". We will look back and say, "Oh those days were great but they are nothing compared to the days we are coming into!".


This is a NEW day! This is not a season! This is a new climate! This is a completely different atmosphere! This is a new dimension! We are moving out from minor miracles into major miracles - into mighty miracles! Into multiplied miracles! Into miracles before breakfast and miracles on Monday, miracles all time! Miracles! I don't ever want to hear again; "These are the Days of Elijah!". Ban that song! No more singing! These are the days of the Holy Spirit! We are not going back to Elijah! We are going forward to the days of the Holy Spirit! We are going back to the days of Acts and then forward beyond the book of Acts. They are the baby church and we are the end-day church seeing it out.


Read Acts chapter 5. My biggest mistake in Hong Kong is when I have got sober. When I am drunk, I believe we can have thousands in the church and can shake this whole city and can impact China! It doesn't bother me to believe that - it is so easy! But when I hear someone saying; "We can't" - I just think - "What are you talking about?! Shut up!". If I get sober with them then I just think; "Yes you are right - what the heck are we doing here?!". Drinks are on the house! New wine! Freshly pressed in heaven! There are fresh wines that have never been tasted before that we are going to taste! You can drink as much as you want - no hangover and no charge! You heard the prophecy from Jason; "Come buy without money!". New wine from heaven!


Jesus said you can't put new wine into old wineskins. We have got all weird over that! Oh wineskins are authority structures and values and vision. He didn't mean that at all! It had nothing to do with what He was talking about! He was saying you cannot put the Old Covenant into the New Covenant! You try to put Old Covenant thinking into New Covenant and the liberty and freedom and power into an Old Covenant and it will split the Covenant open! Churches around the world are splitting up and it is because you are still holding on to an Old Covenant! Don't blame this message - it is what YOU are doing!! You are trying to mix a bit of New into the Old - you cannot mix the two. It will split the old wineskin right open and your people will burst right out of it! You must change to a completely New Covenant preach!


Preach freedom in the grace of God! We are the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus! We are not living under sin conciousness and manipulation and condemnation - we are growing in holiness and purity and obedience and victory over sin - not to make God happy! He was already happy with us in our mistakes and failures! When we fail and mess up under this New Covenant there is no Holy Spirit making us feel bad. He is convicting us that we are the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus. Jesus has gone to the Father and the devil has been condemned - Jesus!


How can you put that into an Old Covenant way of thinking!? It splits it up! All over the world where this message is coming - it is splitting it up. You know in churches around the world, we are getting news that this message is blessing them! Why? Because the eldership are embracing the fullness of the New Covenant and are releasing the truth of that so when the new wine of the New Covenant comes, it blesses the church! The Dubai church is growing so fast - they are seeing signs and wonders in coffee bars and in the work place. I did a week's teaching and did a teaching on grace. All the elders came to "Glory and Grace" - they are all standing in unity on grace. There are no problems and the whole congregation is exploding.


No problems! But wherever there is splitting and breaking up they are trying to put a bit of the New into the Old thinking! This message is innocent! When someone jumps up into an attack and switches on the flashlight and they see all the dust - it would be stupid to say; "Oh look how much dust this light is creating!". No the dust was always there - the light just exposes what is there. When this message comes to a people of grace, the church prospers and goes forward and no one leaves. But when this light shines on a lot of legalistic dust, the light didn't create the dust - it didn't create the extremes! It exposed what has been bound up and hidden in darkness. The glory is the light of God! May the light come to the earth and bring down every religious government so that every person of God can go free in Jesus Name!


I feel a bit about that! I feel a bit about that. What I notice here is that the glory came on this early Acts church so powerfully that it looks like there wasn't enough room in the building to pray for the sick. They had to take the sick outside in the street and lay them in the street to get them healed. Let's look at it here quickly. (v14); "And believers were increasingly added to the Lord - multitudes of men and women so that they brought the sick out into the streets and laid them in beds and couches. That at least the shadow of Peter passing by might fall on some of them. Also a multitude of them from other cities gathered bringing sick and those who were tormented by unclean spirits and they were all healed". That is the New Testament! There was such a realm of glory that if you got into the zone - you were all healed!


Now the church has accepted far below that! Intellectually we have allowed theological excuses instead of pressing for the promises of God's Word, they have tried to bring God's Word down to accomodate the short-fall of the Church!


We acknowledge our short-fall! We know we don't see this right now! We are not looking for theology to accept it and explain it and settle down at this low level. We are saying; "God - this is the level and we want it!". Look at the next verse. (v17); "Then the high priest rose up". It is always religious demons that are going to rise up friends. "Rose up and all those who were with him which is the sect of the Sadducees and they were filled with indignation". What were these guys filled with indignation about? That these apostles and prophets were committing adultery? That they were robbing banks? That they were preaching heresy? No they were full of indignation because all were being healed and all the demonised were being set free by the love of God.


When we went to Sydney we saw people set free from depression that no doctors or psychiatrists could help and their testimonies were extraordinary in pouring in. That makes some people crazy and angry! They don't even know why they are angry and can't work it out! It is not rational! It is a demonic thing that is influencing them! "And laid hands on the apostles and put them in the common prison but at night an angel of the Lord opened the prison doors and let them out and said; 'Go stand in the temple and speak to the people all the words of this life'". So here again - I say to people - if you are bored with Christianity then check the distance between you and Jesus!


If you are walking with Jesus closely in the manifest glory then you will signs and wonders and miracles - you will experience opposition and be put in prison, be whipped, be flogged, be lied about, be hated, and that is exciting!


It is better to cause a riot or a revival than be ignored!


Currently the church in Hong Kong is utterly ignored by milllions of people today. They couldn't care a fig about church or not. But if one kind of church like this appeared in Hong Kong then all of Hong Kong will know that this church exists! All Hong Kong! Hong Kong does not have a church like this yet. But they are going to have a church! City Church International! But once one church breaks out - then hundreds of churches will follow! Look at Acts chapter 6:8 - we don't know whether Stephen was a deacon or not but he is not an apostle or a prophet - just an ordinary member of the church.


"Stephen, full of faith and power did great wonders and signs among the people. Now then arose some opposition from the synagogue of the freed men - Syrians, Alexandrians and those from Asia disputing with Stephen and they were not able to resist the wisdom and the spirit by which he spoke". We need guts and courage and intestinal fortitude if we want to sustain miracles, signs and wonders and the message of grace.


This is not for the faint-hearted! This is not for those who want to play church - quaint religion or some silly thing. This is about loving the lost and loving the suffering world around them and long to see the glory of God cover nations! They are sick and tired of seeing lovely suffering pagans who God loves completely cut off from the Gospel - because they are not hearing the Gospel! They are hearing something that isn't the Gospel! We have got to see the glory come at any price!


It makes me feel good to have people get angry at us! That's why I was created! To fight! I wasn't created to be effeminate but for war, for love, for peace - for God's peace! "The synagogue of the freed men".


That is the problem today. There are people who were freed in a revival 20 years ago and all over the earth different revivals came out of denominational controls and broke out with great courage and moved in freedom and fire. 20 years later they are fighting the next move. They have no more fire, freedom or freshness on them.


There is no more fire or signs, wonders and miracles or book of Acts! They are talking about social justice and intellectual lofty thoughts about what we can do to engineer change in society. That is not apostolic! That is not the book of Acts! That is not the ministry of Jesus! It is in signs, wonders and miracles and the glory of God covering the nations, covering the earth and out of that glory will come prosperity to look after the widows and the orphans and to help social justice and end poverty in our earth and help with education - but it is out of the fire and out of the glory!


Otherwise it is just worldly church. Let's go and look chapter 7:54. This is Stephen giving a whole message in the face of the synagogue of the freed men. "When they heard this they were cut to the heart and they knashed at him with their teeth. But he being full of the Holy Spirit gazed into heaven and saw the glory of God and Jesus standing at the right hand of God and he said; "Look! I see the heavens opened and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God". Then they cried out with one voice and ran at him with one accord and they cast him out of the city and stoned him. The witnesses laid their clothes down at the feet of a young man named Saul and they stoned Stephen as he was calling on God saying; "Lord Jesus receive my spirit". Then he knelt down and cried out with a loud voice; "Lord do not charge them with this sin". And when he had said this he fell asleep".


This is the disciples who bring the glory into the earth! The others wanted revival but they wanted everyone to love and accept them. You think I am talking about just out there - I am talking about right here in Hong Kong.


You see you don't know opposition until you move from minor miracles into major miracles. You don't know opposition until you break through religious cages and preach the ministry of the New Covenant and expose the mixture of law and grace.


That is going to come in Hong Kong for Hong Kong to break out! There are millions of Hong Kong people that will receive the gospel of grace when they see the signs and the wonders and the miracles - when they see God turn up in glory! We in City Church are moving in minor miracles but we are about to come into a flood of the glory and go to major miracles, multiplied miracles and mighty miracles and we have got to be ready for the other side!


This is the only time in the entire New Testament that says Jesus was standing at the right hand of God. Every other passage says He is seated. I believe Jesus gave Stephen a standing ovation! I love this young man. I love his tenacity. These religious people from the synagogue of the freed men and all of the arrogance and bigoted pride could not talk it out of him! He spoke to them with a spirit of wisdom and he was so bold he was willing to lay his life down and then he forgave them! He saw Jesus standing and said; "Receive my spirit!". That is how I want to go out! I don't want to die old! I am not looking forward to a nice easy retirement!


I am not worried about money for my future! I am not worried about it! God can care about it. So many Christians are caught up in the here and now that they are going to miss the visitation of God! God is coming! We need to be wise about our financial futures but don't be obsessed with it. There is something bigger coming friends! Some of us are going to go out as martyrs - there is no way the nations are going to be broken into by loose little Christians! I am tired of this! I am tired of Christians that are frightened; "Oh don't fly to India - you could die there!". Don't fly again - your plane could crash! Don't go to Hong Kong - you could get bird flu there! If I go to this nation to preach - I might die! What are you involved in?! Instant graduation into the full glory! Hello Jesus! Receive my spirit! I died on a mission Jesus! I don't want to die at 85 connected to a bladder machine and a poo machine and old age! And the last 30 years I was playing bowls with old friends and let them go to hell by not speaking the gospel!


What kind of Christianity is that?! I am not preaching at you guys. How many of you are bored? Look at chapter 8:2;


"And devout men carried Stephen to his burial and had lamentation over him. As for Saul he made havoc of the church entering every house and dragging off men and women committing them to prison. Therefore those who were scattered went everywhere preaching the Word. Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria and preached Christ to them. The multitudes with one accord heeded the things spoken to them by Philip - hearing and seeing the miracles which he did. For unclean spirits crying with a loud voice came out of many possessed and many who were paralysed and lame were healed and there was great joy in that city of Hong Kong".

Saul repents and becomes Paul after he was knocked to the ground on the road to Damascus by the glory. He becomes a mighty apostle and begins to spread Christianity even further. That is how God is going to deal with some of the opponents - he is going to knock them to the ground and speak to them in an audible voice in glory and they will be changed and they will become as fanatical and as crazy as we are! They will start preaching the grace message like we never thought they would preach it! Don't worry about the opposition - God has got a ways and means committee to deal with them! Look at Acts 19 - look at what happens to this Paul. Acts 19:11;

"Now God worked unusual miracles by the hands of Paul so that even handkerchiefs or aprons that were brought from his body so that the sick and the evil spirits left them and went out of them".

How many of you are thinking "I don't hear this kind of talking in church often!".

A flood of the glory is coming and in the flood of the glory you will find yourself catapaulted into signs and wonders and miracles that you could never imagine possible!

But you say; "I am going to have to imagine it before it happens!". Do your best - but God can do far beyond all that we can do or say or imagine! According to the power that is at work in us! Beyond what you can think or ask or imagine - it's beyond that line! We have to get out of the Nazareth syndrome! Jesus went to His home town in Mark 6 and could there do no miracles. Except lay His hands on a few sick folk and heal them of minor ailments.

I would say with few exceptions and probably what you could count on one hand - most of the earth is exactly like the town of Nazareth. They do not see mighty miracles. It is not God's will for mighty miracles to be seen only at crusades! Or in big conferences! That is great and thank God for it. But God's plan and His first plan and His ultimate plan - His always will - is that signs and wonders and great miracles happen in ordinary Sunday morning church. Ordinary local churches like the book of Acts! And we have substituted that normal church for the visit of a Reinhard Bonnke or a Benny Hinn to Hong Kong! I say thank God for these ministries - I love them and praise God for them but that is not Plan A! It is about Plan Z! It is the end of the alphabet! Plan A is signs and wonders and miracles happening in the local church every week!

And through the church into the community! Yet most of the churches - I would say 95% - don't see miracles at all if only minor miracles. We thank God for minor miracles but friends, we have got to see why Jesus said He could there do no mighty works. He said because they were offended at Him and full of unbelief. That describes 95% of churches on the planet! Even our church if we are real. So many are offended at the moving of God - they are offended at the Carpenter who died on the Cross and could suddenly get offended and do miracles. Someone in our midst rises up and starts moving out and jealousy and offence comes that they are doing more miracles than me! Offence comes in! Then unbelief!

God will raise up - there is a glory cloud coming - and God will raise up congregations in this hour and in this day that will be free from offence and won't be offended at the moving of God, they won't be offended by who God uses! They will be full of faith and say; "Lord I believe! Help me overcome my unbelief!".

I am not offended with You Lord! I won't make excuses! I don't care who You use! Use them Lord! Everyone in this room - say use anyone in City Church Lord! Anyone! We will see hospitals in Hong Kong emptied! I have seen this for decades!

I will speak prophetically with creative power; "We will see hospitals in Hong Kong emptied by the power of God! We will see mental institutions emptied by the power of God! We will see cities shaken by the power of God! We will see creative miracles - body part replacement miracles!".

This will not be by big names or big preachers but by ordinary members of churches that have opened themselves fully to the glory to come and move on them! The children - children - will have dreams and visions! They will have visions more than dreams! They will see signs and wonders. Teenagers will walk in the fire of God! Teenagers! Grandmothers will be full of the glory of God! The flood is coming friends - the flood is coming!

The greatest harvest of souls will be swept into the Kingdom and this is starting now - this year and continue through the years until Jesus comes! We are not coming into another season - no more seasons - the seasons of the earth are over! This is a time of the glory that will continue to the end of the age. Till Jesus comes again! This is the hour when God says; "I will reveal the knowledge of My glory throughout the whole earth! I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh!".

I have heard this in my spirit resonate - but I don't just jump up and say it. I have waited and waited - and I have heard other prophets say it. Other prophets - much higher-ranking prophets than me saying it. Many of them are saying; "This is the glory - be prepared - be ready!". Whole government schools are going to be swept into the glory and will all be saved and all the staff will be saved! Islam - the whole of Islam - will be shaken by the fire of God! Islam will be in awe and wonder at how beautiful and lovely Jesus of Nazareth is! Islam will fall in love with Jesus Christ and will shake Islam with signs and wonders and miracles - the glory of God will cover the whole of Islam! There are coming businessmen and women that are so full of miracles and will be in business meetings and will say; "Oh I feel a miracle coming on" and a miracle will manifest in the meeting!

When I came to Hong Kong - God gave me three major prophecies. Let me repeat them and just about close. Please hear the creative prophetic word now. When I first came to Hong Kong - one of the first words that God gave me was;

"Rob if you will live not to fill buildings with people". There is a ministry obsession with the bigger numbers in buildings - the bigger my ego. That is a ministry thing whether guys admit it or not - that is just a fact! Many ministers thank God are humble and deal with that. But there is a drivenness for numbers. But with God there is no drivenness for numbers. He loves individual people. They are all precious to Him! And He wants to win the nations but not to win the ego of man. He said; "Rob if you will live not to fill buildings with people but if you will live to fill people with My glory Presence then I the Lord will live to fill buildings in Hong Kong full of My glory Presence on your behalf!". For you see God wants to reach the masses and He wants to reach the millions in Hong Kong!

He is not interested in small little churches hiding away in a corner thinking they are an elite and supernatural remnant. That is insane and deception when there is a harvest waiting to be saved! But we are not going for numbers but for God's glory to be made manifest so now we have had 3 and a half years where I have had to resist the temptation to make things grow and not use the techniques that make things grow! I have used techniques that chase people away! There are not many people that can take this kind of preaching! For three and a half years we have lived to see the glory fill people not buildings. The religious people are too full of pride and self-righteous and are ashamed of being full of God and getting drunk and falling over! They are ashamed of extravagance. If you allow hundreds of religious people to come into the church who are just finding out there is a new church and you have all the programmes and it is all nice and fill the building with them, then the glory can't come because they will stop it!

So God has got to have a place where His glory can come! He can come in full glory in a church and generate it in a city - then He can break through the barriers and bash through the religious barriers and rescue the people in the bondage of religious control! But He must find a lighting fire and a lightning conductor in Hong Kong! I am now happy to announce that we have a church that is a gathering called City Church International where the vast majority are not ashamed of being full of God and full of the anointing and full of the power of God! We have it! We have it!

God is about to fill buildings in Hong Kong full of people full of His glory and we are going to be running from one church to the next that we are leading and many of you will be helping out! It is coming friends!

The second prophecy was when I was in Lama Island and I was up praying after a few weeks here and was praying; "Lord what am I doing here in Hong Kong!?". And He said; "Rob I am going to establish a move of My Spirit here in Hong Kong that will touch the whole world and not just the church world but mainly for the unsaved world. That is mainly for the unsaved!".

The third major prophecy came with a condition and He said; "I set before City Church International two roads and you can become a large, famous, popular charismatic church". I understood in my heart that meant I could use secular, humanistic religious techniques and programmes to have a large church that is famous and popular and well known. "It will have some signs and wonders as these churches do - they have a few gifts of the Holy Spirit but it will be very minor and very low level. Or you can choose to be a book of Acts church". He was giving us a choice! "You can choose to be a book of Acts church that has mighty awesome signs and wonders and miracles with persecution". Many in the room at the time went; "Yayy! We want the book of Acts!".

But we said; "Let's be wise - we don't rush into these decisions lightly. You must factor in the pain of persecution". When the signs and wonders come there is other stuff. With the grace message comes other stuff. About 3 years ago - maybe longer that came - and I know in my heart that I chose Book of Acts! I know this church has chosen book of Acts! There maybe a few hangers-on that haven't chosen and don't know what it means and I don't know if that will last. I really don't - but there is a core there that chosen Book of Acts or die! Book of Acts or bust! There are people here who didn't re-locate from family and comfort and ease in their nations to come to a big charismatic church - many of them came from good churches!

We would insult people to suddenly now calm it down to fit in the Pharisees and the Sadducees and the synagogue of the freed men.

I pray as the glory of God falls in Hong Kong that God will destroy every religious umbrella. There are precious Chinese people that need to experience the glory of God. But Rob the services could get out of hand. They need to get out of man's hands and get into God's hands! The church is so under the control of man and I am desperately saying to God - are my hands too hard on this church? Show me and I will take them off in any way you want! I am desperate God!

When the fire of the glory of God falls - let's get rid of the fire extinguishers. There is always someone who says; "Let's calm it down - let's have balance!". Balance?! I tell you the most wise biblical way to have balance! Be extreme in everything and then nothing will be out of balance! Be extremely loving, extremely forgiving, extremely kind, extremely generous, full of faith, zealous, wise, crazy for Jesus, open to the glory! What they call "balance" my friends is the "synagogue of the freed men". You need to speak like Stephen and look in their eyes and say; "No!". The fire of God - the glory of God is coming! Ready or not!

I don't know if you remember John but you prophesied a while back; "Ready or not!". We used to play hide and seek - and He has been hiding His glory for a long time but He is saying "I am coming ready or not church! I am coming!". Lord we are ready! Truly we are ready! I am talking to some friends who are feeling this and we are saying to some pastors who are praying for revival; "Stop praying - you are not ready for revival. If revival like the book of Acts came then half your church would disappear. They could not take it - it is too intense. It is untidy, it is wild, it is upheaval! Some of you are so conservative and religious and demonised that you cannot handle revival - revival is a whole herd of pigs full of a thousand demons screaming and running over a cliff! Revival is guys pulling a hole in the roof and lowering a guy to get into the building! Revival is wild and crazy! We need a revival in Hong Kong!

Some churches don't need a revival now - it would be bad for them! Give them time to get ready! Lord get them ready! But we are ready now! In South Africa and Australia they burn what they call fire-breaks. They call them control burns so that when the fire gets to the control burn it stops so the fire doesn't get out of control and burn up the natural habitation or the houses. Religion has been burning it's control burns for far too long in Hong Kong and in the world. This fire will get out of control and the only thing that will destroy it is religion. Traditions of men and sin and poverty and sickness and disease and self-righteousness and bondage and slavery and the control and fear of man! This fire will set people free! This fire will bless people and heal them and bring joy to their hearts!

No control burns! All God needs is just one church to get so on fire in Hong Kong and so full of the flood of the glory that religion can burn all it's control burns and this fire like an Australian fire in 1983 in Adelaide will jump all the control burns for fireballs went 1km up into the sky and created a vacuum so that the fire leapt! Cars couldn't outrun it - cars got caught in the glory! The religious world can burn their fire-breaks and the fire will break through and set the people free! People will get set free in Hong Kong!

When the time comes - it will burn here and others will get ready but after a period I will run through the earth with this fire and I will go wherever people want me to come. We are giving people time to get ready and to make their adjustments and stop the nonsense but when the time is right, we are going! We are going to have fire here! Out of that we are going to touch the world with the Spirit of God! I am telling you if they are not ready we are coming anyway!

They can put their religious barriers up and pretend they are protective over the people when actually they are posessive and insecure and jealous with their religious barriers up. They can put their religious fences up and close the church doors and barricade them but just as Jesus of Nazareth in His resurrected body walked through the walls and appeared to His disciples - so Jesus is going to walk through the barriers and appear to people in Hong Kong and will break into the nations! He will do it! Do it Lord! Revival! Fire! Glory! Anointing! Freedom!

No tidy revivals or tidy Sunday morning church! In 2004 people were sitting on the beaches in Sri Lanka and Indonesia and everything was normal as it has been for years. The church sits and thinks everything is normal - that is just Rob shouting and a few other prophets around the world like Bob Jones and other high ranking prophets shouting. But we are okay here and we have got a big bank balance and our building is paid off! We have got a big congregation, half of which are unsaved and half are sleeping around. Half are so under the law of guilt and manipulation and are so full of sin that they look so holy on a Sunday and we have got our bank balance full and we have got our tithes rolling in and we are okay!

We don't want a disturbance! The fact that most of our churches have grown by other churches losing their members - denominational people to our so-called "freer" churches and very little growth has come from the lost being reached. We have got them all in our pastors camps now and to hell with the lost!

We will put money into poor nations out there but have got the poor all around us here and don't help them close by. There is more ego about going somewhere and coming back with photographs.

We are on the psunami beach and everything is normal! Oh, the water has gone out - oh the tide is going out! It means we are going through a dry time. But that is okay - we can handle dry times - they are okay! It is safe in the dry times because no one manifests, and demons don't come out and no one falls - we don't want that manifestation of power. Listen to the websites and hear the preachers say - we don't want it! We don't want people lying under the power in church! It's not good and it's not helpful for the lost to see that! Hear them saying that in well-known conferences! Manifestation of God is okay if He must do it but we wouldn't really want it. Duping and deceiving generations of people to not hunger for Him!

What is a manifestation of God? It means God turns up! The loveliness of Who He is is revealed! He manifests Who He is and people experience it!

Well we don't really want Him to turn up! Oh it is going out! Yes it is going out friends. But it is coming back in. And you know on those seashores - everyone has got their lives sorted out, everything was normal and within minutes nothing was the same again. When that psunami hit - it changes EVERYTHING. Everything. It was so violent and so fast and so powerful. It smashed every barrier and broke through every bank. I have seen whole walls with bars that were bust right open.

Church of Jesus Christ around the world - ready or not - the psnuami of the glory of God is coming! It is going to break right through the religious barriers and bishops are going to fall off their thrones of gold and their mitres will fall on the floor - their people will see God in manifestation and they will have to make a choice as to whether we are going to go with this, or say this is the devil and blaspheme the Spirit of God.

No more pretense. The so-called synagogues of the free man are going to show how in bondage they are when the psunami hits. It will change everything. We don't have to work at what is our church structure or sit in committees and talk architectural language about the future of the church and how we are going to protect the pattern of the church.

You can't play God on this next move! No apostle can apostle it! No prophet can direct it! No evangelist can evanglise it! No teacher can explain it and no pastor can explain it - this is NOT a new season! This is a whole climate of glory and a whole new atmosphere - a new dimension and a demonstration of God's power in manifestation and it is coming! Ready or not!

You cannot put a psunami in a wine-skin! I say; "Lord do it here in City Church - we are ready now. We have waited. We have preached grace - grace - grace and anointing, fire and faith! We have not spoken motivational life skills and how to be a better person and three steps to better this or that!". There's nothing wrong with that but it just turns you to secular, humanistic people. That doesn't make you book of Acts and it won't prepare you for a psunami! I am teaching you how to swim and how to catch waves! That's what I am interested in!

If you are a true prophet then get the church ready for a psunami! Because a psunami won't kill or wreck those who are getting ready for it or do damage to those who are ready for it!

How many of you know that God uses secular prophets in the arts world and the Hollywood world and they are prophesying things for the church to listen to? In the 1960's a Jewish secular prophet by the name of Bob Dylan (who I actually loved in my drugs smoking day - because it stirred the prophetic in me!) and he got born again in 1979. I believe he will be in heaven even though he's messing around. And he wrote a song and it keeps coming up in my mind over the last few weeks.

"Come gather around people wherever you roam and admit that the waters around you have grown and accept that soon you will be drenched to the bone. If the times to you are worth saving - well you better start swimming or you will sink like a stone - for the times they are a-changing".

We have got fathers and mothers in the Kingdom who have been a blessing in past moves and were mentors and wonderful people but sometimes they begin to criticise the next move because they have fossilised and have not moved on like they should have.

"Mothers and fathers throughout the land! Don't criticise what you do not understand. Your sons and your daughters are beyond your command - that old road is rapidly aging so get off the new one if you can't lend a hand for the times they are a-changing. You writers and critics who prophesy with your pen - eyes wide, for your chance won't come again and don't speak too soon for the wheels spin - no telling who gets the naming, for the loser now will be later to win for the times they are a-changing".

Just before the Communists took over the nation of Russia they were about to destroy everything of cultural beauty in Russia but the Greek Orthodox church was making decisions about what colour the priest's robes should be - purple or green. They didn't know the times they were a-changing!

Oh God help a church that is not listening to the prophets but are listening only to pastors who become more possessive and and protective. If you really love people train them how to catch a psunami rather than be killed by it.
