Introduction : The Great Commission is clear – we are sent to go out “2-by-2” to spread the Good news Gospel of Salvation for all to receive Him – through faith-works & praying everywhere in society around us.
We pray today for the CHURCH – BELIEF GATE, and its influence in society.
PRAYER POINTS : Week 2 – BELIEF / CHURCH Gate
1. Thanksgiving, Praise & Adoration of our God, Creator, Father & Jesus our Redeemer.
• God, we thank you for Who you are. You are Alpha & Omega, Creator, all-mighty God, ever present.
• You are the Word incarnated, the Door, the Way and the only Truth, the Light, Saviour of the world.
2. Welcome Father, our loving Father, Christ Jesus the Holy Lamb of God & Holy Spirit.
• We welcome You, draw closer to You as You come near to guide as in the wisdom of the Holy Spirit.
• We bow down in reverence, awe, honour. Holy Spirit lead us as we lift Jesus higher for all men to be drawn to Him. One day every knee will bow & tongues confess Your greatness & Truth. (Ps145-150)
3. Personal Repentance: Lead group in personal repentance & humbling.
(NB. We now prepare our hearts. We do this by humbling ourselves, take responsibility for our own sins & identify with the ‘wrongs” in society & in the church. Repentance is the 1st KEY ACTION from our hearts to get rid of all evil! )
• Forgive us our sins. We repent of any know sin & anything unrighteous and unpleasing to You.
• We humble ourselves before You in total dependence upon You. You alone are good & worthy.
“For I acknowledge my transgressions, And my sin is always before me. Against You, You only, have I sinned, And done this evil in Your sight—That You may be found just when You speak, And blameless when You judge.” (Psa 51:3-4)
4. Communion in remembrance of the death of Jesus – His perfect sacrifice to pay for our sins.
• Thank you for giving Your life, redeeming us by forgiveness of sins by shedding Your blood for us.
• Your death & resurrection has sealed the new covenant with the Father in Your righteousness.
• “Eternal life (is) that they may know You, only true God, Jesus Christ whom You have sent.” Joh17:3
5. Prayer for Protection for believers praying for the nation. “By the witness of TWO every word manifests.”
(Eph 6: STAND & keep on standing IN THE ARMOR of God)
• We ask in Your name to protect us from the strategies, plans and hide us under Your “wings” (Ps91)
• That we “would walk worthy of God who calls us into His own kingdom and glory.” (1Th 2:12)
• “I do not pray that You should take them out of the world, keep them from the evil one.” (Joh 17:15)
• Believers to be “their brothers/sisters keepers”! Submit to one another & be teachable, cover by love.
6. Identificational repentance: As we pray, we identify/discern what is “right” and “wrong” – to pray for God’s intervention and His MERCY me 1st, us, over His Church…(add your own). We repent:…
• We repent where the church (the Body of Christ, the soon to be Bride) has failed society in judging them rather to lead them to salvation. God is the only judge. We should be known by our love.
• We repent where the church has failed its own commands, failed to love, forgive, restore internally
• False church doctrines for gain, status, power, fame. For not preaching the message of repentance.
• Changing the Scriptures/message to suit human reasoning, carnal ears, while pleasing ungodly, humanistic, unrighteous demands of mere man, popular preaching & church politics!
• We repent not being separated from the sins of this world. Can people see difference between the Believer, God’s sons/daughters & the world in our daily speech, conduct, serving, giving & love ?
• We repent of lukewarmness, idolatrous ways, clinging to the things, status, power of the world…
7. Praying SCRIPTURE for the Church / Body of Christ / The Bride of Christ to prepare herself :
We thank GOD for : (Eph 1:22-23, 2 – 4) (add your own)

8. DECLARATIONS over the Church / Belief Gate : “Have MERCY on Your Church, Lord”
What do you want to see happening IN & THROUGH the Church? (add your own)
• More Unity in community of Believers, one accord in His death, Life, Resurrection (Rev5:9,10)
• True fellowship with the Father & Son through the Holy Spirit and in submission to Him.

If you feel comfortable in prophetic prayer demonstrated by symbolic actions you may want to :
• Pour OIL over your street, in area as a symbol of God’s presence, sealed off property, prayer altar…
• Pour SALT as a symbol of His forgiveness, cleansing, purification & preservation of His people.
• Blow / play Shofar recording as a symbol of the sound of God’s might & strength to go forth !!! It is the instrument & sound God instructed to voice His presence & reign!
12 Thank you for praying with us and put your “STAKE” of Faith in the soil!
• As we pray we are releasing our faith into the atmosphere & spiritual realm. We symbolically place a STAKE where we pray that serves as a remembrance of our prayers being done BY FAITH in God alone. Only to HIM belong the glory, praise & exaltation! HALLELUJAH! 1000 praises to His NAME!
God keep, bless you in His peace as you stand in the gap for our Nation in Prayer@The-Gates.
57. Prayer@The-Gates GUIDELINES : BELIEF Gate
2nd WK – 21April24 – Prayer@The-Gates (P@G) COMPREHENSIVE Prayer GUIDELINES & Biblical perspective for the BELIEF Gate.
See Blog post Nr. 58 for summarized PRAYER POINTS.
“The Church of the Lord Jesus Christ is supposed to be the conscience of the world bringing to light the purposes and the plans that God has for humanity. The church is currently sick. A torn and hurt church cannot heal hurt and a torn world. It is through a revival that the church will be restored to its central position of being a channel for the healing of all social ills. Dr. Elijah Mashanganyi ”
Greetings all P@G Partners NB : We share in part
A. WEEKLY PREPARATION guidelines. Please see last page of this document – (PREP)
B. INTRODUCTION: P@G – BELIEF GATE – Week 2 – WITNESS of TWO!
(See also introduction from Week 1 : Deut 6:4 & Psalm 2)
“Revival in all spheres of society is needed now. The church should take the lead in this. Unfortunately, the church has grossly failed society in its assignments. Most of the organized church has become like the secular world, enticed by enmity for wealth, position, power, platforms, prestige, and politics in its corridors.” And yet God is building His church through it using ordinary people like us… @A.T.”
1st Key Scripture – The Great Commissioned given by Christ is clear –
Mat 28:18-20
(18) And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. (19) Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, (20) teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen.
2nd Key Scripture – The Church is built on what it declares about Christ –
Mat 16:16-19
(16) Simon Peter answered and said, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”
17) Jesus answered and said to him, “Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but My Father who is in heaven.
(18) And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it.
(19) And I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.”
3rd Key Scripture – The Church is built on Christ, the Cornerstone –
Act 4:7-12
(7) “By what power or by what name have you done this?” (8) Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, “Rulers of the people and elders of Israel: (10) let it be known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead, by Him this man stands here before you whole. (11) This is the ‘Stone which was rejected by you builders, WHICH HAS BECOME THE CHIEF CORNERSTONE.’ (12) Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.”
C. Strategic comprehensive PRAYER GUIDELINES for Prayer@the-Gates
1. Thanksgiving, Praise & Adoration of our God, Creator, Father & Redeemer.
Rev 5:11-14 (11) Then I looked, and I heard the voice of many angels around the throne, the living creatures, and the elders; and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands,
12) saying with a loud voice: “Worthy is the Lamb who was slain To receive power and riches and wisdom, And strength and honor and glory and blessing!”
(13) And every creature … I heard saying: “Blessing and honor and glory and power Be to Him who sits on the throne, And to the Lamb, forever and ever!” (14) Then the four living creatures said, “Amen!” And the twenty-four elders fell down and worshiped Him who lives forever and ever.
2. Welcome Father, our loving Father, Christ Jesus the Holy Lamb of God:
On Christ, Whom the 7 Spirits of the Holy Spirit reside upon.
Isa 11:2 The Spirit of the LORD shall rest upon Him, The Spirit of wisdom and understanding, The Spirit of counsel and might, The Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD.
The 7 “I AM” statements of Christ.
I AM – the BREAD of life (6:35), the LIGHT of the world (8:12), the DOOR (10:7), the GOOD SHEPHERD (10:11, 14), the RESURRECTION and THE LIFE (11:25), the WAY, the TRUTH, and the LIFE (14:6) and the TRUE VINE (15:1).
https://thecrossing.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/Come-See_Book_Week-8-I-AM.pdf
3. Personal Repentance: Lead group in personal repentance & humbling.
(Ps24, 51, Jam 4:7)
Rev 3:19-21 (19) As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten. Therefore, be zealous (have desire.1, fervent mind.2) and repent. (20) Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me.
(21) To him who overcomes I will grant to sit with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne. (1-G2206,2-G2205)
Act 17:30-31 (30) Truly, these times of ignorance God overlooked, but now commands all men everywhere to repent, (31) because He has appointed a day on which He will judge the world in righteousness by the Man whom He has ordained. He has given assurance of this to all by raising Him from the dead.”
1Jn 1:9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
4. Communion: In remembrance of Christ’s perfect redemption for our sins.
-reconciling us back into the Father’s presence. His body broken. By the Blood we enter through the veil. (Mat26:26-29, Heb.9:11-12, Is53, Jhn12:1)
5. Prayer for the Protection of all praying for the Nation:
(Ps91,121, 68)
From Job 1:10, pray for God’s hedge of protection – yourself/prayer partners.
Eph6:10-20; –Put on the whole armour of God; stand, keep on standing.
Week TWO – BELIEF GATE
“Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done, on earth as in heaven”
TWO speaks of two witnesses, communion in His divine presence, sent out 2 by 2…
Exo 25:22 And there I will meet with you, and I will speak with you from above the mercy seat, from between the two cherubim which are on the ark of the Testimony, about everything which I will give you in commandment to the children of Israel.
2Co 13:1 “BY THE MOUTH OF TWO OR THREE WITNESSES EVERY WORD SHALL BE ESTABLISHED.”
Mat18:20 For where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them.”
Luk 10:1 … the Lord appointed seventy others also, and sent them two by two before His face into every city and place where He Himself was about to go.
6. Identificational Repentance for the BELIEF GATE/sphere
– “TURNING BACK TO GOD!”
2Ch 7:14-16 (14) (MSG)
[If] my people, my God-defined people, respond by humbling themselves, praying, seeking my presence, and turning their backs on their wicked lives, I’ll be there ready for you: I’ll listen from heaven, forgive their sins, and restore their land to health.
(15) From now on I’m alert day and night to the prayers offered at this place.
(16) Believe me, I’ve chosen and sanctified this Temple that you have built: My Name is stamped on it forever; my eyes are on it and my heart in it always. (MSG)
We stand in the gap to do identificational REPENTANCE for the Church for where we HAVE FAILED:-
a) Society:
Church to SERVE this nation with God’s Gospel Bread!
Rom7:4, 8:6 Therefore,… you also have become dead to the law through the body of Christ, that you may be married to another—to Him who was raised from the dead, that we should bear fruit to God.
1) Judging the world instead of reaching out to a lost & broken world. 2) Idolatrous worship of self, own agendas, earthly or carnally minded…. Acting like the world. 3) Not “GOING”, but stayed in the comfort as our own salvation that is secured…. not being Christ out there. Therefore, 4) Lack of faith & fearful to go out… to correct, serve, be an example. 5) Not being set apart but tempted by the world, looking like the world … 6) Lured by the lust of the flesh and eyes, the pride of life,.. 7) Not taking ownership of the conditions around us praying God’s plans into being – perhaps intimidated… backing off instead of standing our ground.
b) Body of Christ:
Church to TURN back to God – God’s Kingdom 1st!
Act 20:28 Therefore take heed to yourselves and to all the flock, among which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to shepherd the church of God which He purchased with His own blood. (Ez34, Heb4:17)
1) Lost our 1st Love-Ephesus, 2) Corrupt doctrines & corrupt worship, sexual immorality-Pergamum. 3) Spirit of Jezebel that seduces-Thyatira. 4) Hypocrisy: Dead works by the flesh-Sardis. 5) Lukewarm-Laodicea… 6) Not walked in love; 7) not bearing the fruit of the Holy Spirit.
Eph 5:2 And walk in love, as Christ also has loved us and given Himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling aroma…
7. SCRIPTURE declarations on the Belief Gate – The Church / Body of Christ / His Bride
THANK God for:
Eph 1:22-23 Christ’s HEADSHIP over the church.
To Him all authority belongs. His Blood covenant and the redemption of all who chooses to accept Him as Lord & Savior…
(22) And He put all things under His feet, and gave Him to be head over all things to the church, (23) which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all.
Act 2:46-47 The COMMUNITY of Believers. Unity in Him.
(Eph 2:11 – 22; 4:1-16, Jh17)
(46) So continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, they ate their food with gladness and simplicity of heart,
(47) praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily those who were being saved.
Eph 3:19-21 His LOVE, the FULNESS of God in us, His POWER, spiritual strength…. To arise!
(Ps68)
(19) to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God. (20) Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, (21) to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.
1Co12:28 The GIFTS of Christ through the Holy Spirit/9 gifts of Holy spirit…
(Ef 4:11, 1Cor12 & 14)
And God has appointed these in the church: first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, administrations, varieties of tongues.
Eph 1-6 1) The spiritual blessings in Christ. 2) The greatness of His power. 3) For faith 4) Forgiveness of sin, 5) Salvation received through faith, by 6) the exceeding richness of His grace & kindness. 7) His manifold wisdom. 8) Equipping of the saints for the work of ministry. 9) New Life (by the newness by the Spirit, Rom7:6) . 10) His spiritual armour…
8. DECLARATIONS into the Belief Gate – “I am the Alpha & the Omega, the 1st & the Last”
WHAT DO YOU WANT TO SEE HAPPENING in & through the church?:
[The organized church, the Body of Christ, the assembly of saints, voice in the street in the last days? (Rev1:11-b)]
UNITY of the Body over denominations:
Stop dividing quarrels over grey doctrinal areas, serve each other in Love, take hands & love over all spheres extended. To live in His Glory. (Joh17:11,21-23)
Rev 5:9-10 (9) And they sang a new song, saying: “You are worthy to take the scroll, And to open its seals; For You were slain, And have redeemed us to God by Your blood Out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation, (10) And have made us kings and priests to our God; And we shall reign on the earth.”
FELLOWSHIP:
Having fellowship with the Father & Son through the Holy Spirit & one another (1Jn1:1-7).
GLORIFYING the FATHER in the Son:
Joh 14:12,13 (12) “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father. (13) And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
LABOUR for Christ’s Name sake:
Not became weary, had patience, hated those who were evil, tested the self-proclaimed apostles. (Rev2:Ephesus).
TO OVERCOME:
Be faithful until death & will be given the crown of life. He who overcomes will have eternal life. (Rev2:Smyrna)
Rev 12:10-11 (10)…”Now salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of His Christ have come, for the accuser of our brethren, who accused them before our God day and night, has been cast down. (11) And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death.
GOD’S PROMISES fulfilled:
His Kingdom come, His will be done…The church/next generation to arise!
Mic 4:1-2 (1) BUT IN the latter days it shall come to pass that the mountain of the house of the Lord shall be established as the highest of the mountains; and it shall be exalted above the hills, and peoples shall flow to it. (2) And many nations shall come and say, Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob, that He may teach us His ways, and we may walk in His paths. For the law shall go forth out of Zion and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.
READY to meet Him at His 2nd coming:
Luk 12:35 “Let your waist be girded and your lamps burning…;
Luk 12:37 Blessed are those servants whom the master, when he comes, will find watching.
SEVEN SPIRITS: Prayer for all His sons & daughters to receive:

Additional INFO IN PREPARATION FOR PRAYER A@THE GATES
A. PREP: Strategic Preparation BEFORE we go praying at the gates:
Through the 7 weeks P@G, a 7-step strategy is rolled out building up to the 7th week for
GOVERNMENTAL prayer. We therefore start by praying for the other areas/spheres first.
We will therefore, have added focus per week on one of the 7 Gates/Spheres of Society as follows:
1. Family (14/4) 2. Belief (21/4) 3. Economy 4. Education 5. Media, Science & Technology 6. Arts, Sports & Culture 7. Government.
Please PREPARE the following: (as you feel led by the Holy Spirit):
- Communion elements served at the gate: take along water/grape juice/crackers and plastic cups.
- Salt (symbolic of cleansing and preservation the gate/road)
- Oil (symbolic to anoint the gate/road for a sign of sanctification).
- Shofar, trumpet, or recording of shofar blasts at the end (symbolic of the trumpets of heaven…).
Come with prepared hearts
- Come with prepared hearts according to these suggested guidelines: (C. Jacobs, 2006)
- Yield to the leading of Holy Spirit. (Rom 8:5, 7-11)
- Be mature in the Spirit. (Php 3:14-16,20, Eph3:8-12)
- Be free from known sin. (Rom 6, 1Pet2:11-12)
- Sever unbelief and fear, come full of faith in God & Christ our victorious King. (Col 1&2, Heb10:35-39)
- Be under submission to a local church/ministry. (Num 27:15-23; 1Pet2:4-10,Heb13:17)
Explaining GATES : What do we mean by ‘Gate’?
(Nahum3, Is.26:2, Ps87:2, 24:9, 147:12-15, 118:19)
- ‘Gates’ here refer to entry points of towns and the 8 spheres of Society as we found it in the Bible.
- At the Gates of the Cities everything happened. From betrothals, healings, councils, elder counsels, stoning/discipline, signing of contracts & here agreements were made for business, marriage… (Rev21)
Initial guidelines preparing ourselves for this time of Prayer in foundational positioning:
-The Armour of God. (Eph6, Ps91)
- Before you leave for the time of prayer, clothe yourself, your family and those praying with you & the whole (P@G) initiative with the armour of God – to all areas of your life: relationships, house, vehicles, finances/business/job, health…
–Repentance. (Ps24, Ps51 & Is59:1-2)
- As we repent, we take responsibility for our own thoughts, words, and actions and any known sin.
- Ask God to show you specific sins that give demons the right to establish strongholds.
- Involvement in Witchcraft & New Age may require fasting and declaring the Word as Jesus did in the wilderness. (C. Jacobs, 2006)

[See Blog post’s 52, 53, 54 for further details]
We do this by stepping out into the streets and to lift up our prayers by FAITH in our Lord Jesus – that has died for us, to save us from eternal death & the sins of this world.
By Faith we have been saved, by Grace alone! For His Kingdom purposes to influence this earthly quest of life, strengthening us to endure until Christ returns and to usher the Good-News Gospel of our Savior’s redemptive sacrifice into every home in our towns, cities, villages and streets until the corridors of this nations hallways and high places of influence have been summoned to bow its knee to the Only Great King – Jesus Christ our Lord..
DREAM of REVIVAL BREAKING OUT
God gave me a dream in +-2008 that a Revival Fountain will erupt from the center of SA with the Bible at its crown. Fires started to burn around every province, burning to ashes all unrighteousness, the things that is operating in this nation that is not of God.
The robe and trail of a BRIDE was hanging at the see shore boundaries around our nation and over Africa… The fountain started to spill over with the Word of God as its banner and the small green grasses started to sprout in every province.
This dream is for NOW, for this day for this kairos moment in time.
As I was singing Ps. 102 in our local church one evening, 12+ years ago, it started raining so load and the thunder rumbled in a very special way. We knew God was there with us.. prophesying with us the coming revival. These Scripture became foundational in that year over a broad spectrum ministry community.
Psa 102:12-22
(12) But You, O LORD, shall endure forever, And the remembrance of Your name to all generations.
(13) You will arise and have mercy on Zion; For the time to favor her, Yes, the set time, has come.
(14) For Your servants take pleasure in her stones, And show favor to her dust.
(15) So the nations shall fear the name of the LORD, And all the kings of the earth Your glory.
(16) For the LORD shall build up Zion; He shall appear in His glory.
(17) He shall regard the prayer of the destitute, And shall not despise their prayer.
(18) This will be written for the generation to come, That a people yet to be created may praise the LORD.
(19) For He looked down from the height of His sanctuary; From heaven the LORD viewed the earth,
(20) To hear the groaning of the prisoner, To release those appointed to death,
(21) To declare the name of the LORD in Zion, And His praise in Jerusalem/South Africa,
(22) When the peoples are gathered together, And the kingdoms, to serve the LORD.
55. God of this Land – A song, crying out for our Nation

54. 1st WK – 14 April 24 – Prayer @ The Gates Strategy.
‘The Church holds the balance of power in world affairs… Even now in this present throbbing moment by means of her prayer power and the extent to which she uses it, the praying church is actually deciding the course of human events.’ Paul Billheimer (1 Tim2:1-6, 8)
“AS we await the greater covenant promises of God’s Kingdom, let us celebrate the small victories and testimonies in every days great mercy and grace NOW!” Grace@Alna
Greetings to all Prayer Partners!
Great excitement is arising as the Prayer@The-Gates initiative given by God is rolled out through S.A.
Through the 7 weeks P@G, a 7-step strategy is rolled out building up to the 7th week for
GOVERNMENTAL prayer. We therefore start by praying for the other areas/spheres first.
We will therefore, have added focus per week on one of the 7 Gates/Spheres of Society as follows: 1. Family 2. Belief 3. Economy 4. Education 5. Science & Technology, 6. Media, Arts, Sports 7. Government & Culture
1st Key Scripture: Immanuel – God with us! Jehovah Shamah – God who is here!
Isa 8:8-10 …of Your land, O Immanuel. (9) “Be shattered, O you peoples, (10) Take counsel together, but it will come to nothing; Speak the word, but it will not stand, For God is with us.”
A. Strategic Preparation BEFORE we go to PRAY at the City Gates
1. Please PREPARE the following: (as you feel led by the Holy Spirit):
Communion elements served at the gate: take along water/grape juice/crackers and plastic cups
Salt (symbolic of cleansing and preservation the gate/road),
Oil (symbolic to anoint the gate/road for a sign of sanctification)
Shofar, trumpet, or recording of shofar blasts at the end (symbolic of the trumpets of heaven…)
2. Come with prepared hearts according to these suggested guidelines: (C. Jacobs, 2006)
Yield to the leading of Holy Spirit. (Rom 8:5, 7-11)
Be mature in the Spirit. (Php 3:14-16,20, Eph3:8-12)
Be free from known sin. (Rom 6, 1Pet2:11-12)
Sever unbelief and fear, come full of faith in God & Christ our victorious King. (Col 1&2, Heb10:35-39)
Be under submission to a local church/ministry. (Num 27:15-23; 1Pet2:4-10,Heb13:17)
3. Explaining GATES : What do we mean by ‘Gate’?
(Nahum3, Is.26:2, Ps87:2, 24:9, 147:12-15, 118:19)
- ‘Gates’ here refer to entry points of towns and the 8 spheres of Society as we found it in the Bible.
- At the Gates of the Cities everything happened. From betrothals, healings, councils, elder counsels, stoning/discipline, signing of contracts & here agreements were made for business, marriage… (Rev21)
4. Initial guidelines preparing ourselves for this time of Prayer in foundational positioning
-The Armour of God. (Eph6, Ps91)
Before you leave for the time of prayer, clothe yourself, your family and those praying with you & the whole (P@G) initiative with the armour of God – to all areas of your life: relationships, house, vehicles, finances/business/job, health…
-Repentance. (Ps24, Ps51 & Is59:1-2)
As we repent, we take responsibility for our own thoughts, words, and actions and any known sin.
Ask God to show you specific sins that give demons the right to establish strongholds.
Involvement in Witchcraft & New Age may require fasting and declaring the Word as Jesus did in the wilderness. (C. Jacobs, 2006)
B. Introduction: PRAYER@the-GATES (P@G) – Week 1 – ONE GOD!
2nd Key Scripture: Deu 6:4 “Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one!
“Hear, O Hear, South Africa: The Lord our God, the Lord is one!
3rd Key Scripture: In Ps 2 God encourages us that we should ask of Him … and He will give us the nations as our inheritance… His Kingdom inheritance for South Africa.
Psa 2:1-12
(1) Why do the nations rage, And the people plot a vain thing? (2) The kings of the earth set themselves, And the rulers take counsel together, Against the LORD and against His Anointed, saying,
(3) “Let us break Their bonds in pieces And cast away Their cords from us.”
(4) He who sits in the heavens shall laugh; The LORD shall hold them in derision.
(5) Then He shall speak to them in His wrath, And distress them in His deep displeasure:
(6) “Yet I have set My King On My holy hill of Zion.”
(7) “I will declare the decree: The LORD has said to Me, ‘You are My Son, Today I have begotten You.
(8) Ask of Me, and I will give You The nations for Your inheritance, And the ends of the earth for Your
possession.
(9) You shall break them with a rod of iron; You shall dash them to pieces like a potter’s vessel.’ “
(10) Now therefore, be wise, O kings; Be instructed, you judges of the earth.
(11) Serve the LORD with fear, And rejoice with trembling.
(12) Kiss the Son, lest He be angry, And you perish in the way, When His wrath is kindled but a little.
Blessed are all those who put their trust in Him.
C. Strategic Prayer Guidelines for PRAYER@the-GATES (P@G)
1. Thanksgiving, Praise & Adoration of our God, Creator, Father & Redeemer. (Ps148)
2. Welcome the Holy Spirit, God’s Holy Fire & the fulness of Christ into your midst. (Heb12:29)
Isa 11:3-5
(3) His delight is in the fear of the LORD, And He shall not judge by the sight of His eyes, Nor decide by the hearing of His ears; (4) But with righteousness He shall judge the poor, And decide with equity for the meek of the earth; He shall strike the earth with the rod of His mouth, And with the breath of His lips He shall slay the wicked. (5) Righteousness shall be the belt of His loins, And faithfulness the belt of His waist.
- Declare the SOVEREIGNTY of God – One God, one Hope, one faith, one Spirit of the Lord. (Ef4:3-6)
- Honour GOD as our CREATOR & FATHER. Honor Him! (Ps99)
3. Repentance (personal):
Lead group in personal repentance, humbling. (Ps24, 51, Jam 4:7)
Act 3:19 Repent therefore and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord,
Rom 2:4 Or do you despise the riches of His goodness, forbearance, and longsuffering, not knowing that the goodness of God leads you to repentance?
4. Communion:
In remembrance of Christ’s perfect redemption for our sins reconciling us back into
the Father’s presence. His body broken. By the Blood we enter through the veil.
(Mat26:26-29, Heb.9:11-12, Is53, Jhn12:1)
5. Protection:
From Job 1:10, pray for God’s hedge of protection – yourself/prayer partners…
Put on the whole armour of God to stand, keep on standing.
(Eph 6:10-20, Ps91, 121, 68)
6. Declarations of Who God is.
“Hear O Israel / S.A. the Lord thy God is ONE God Hallelujah”.
WHO GOD IS: Our Father, Who art in Heaven, Hallowed be Thy Name!
1Ti 2:5 For there is one God and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus.
Eph 4:4 There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called in one hope of your calling.
1Co 8:6 Yet for us there is one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we for Him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, through whom are all things, and through whom we live.
Jas 4:12 There is one Lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy. Who are you to judge another?
Jos 24:27 And Joshua said to all the people, “Behold, this stone shall be a witness to us, for it has heard all the words of the LORD which He spoke to us. It shall therefore be a witness to you, lest you deny your God.”
Mar 12:30 And you shall love the lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.’ This is the first commandment.
Week One – FAMILY GATE – “Our Father, Who are in heaven, Holy is Your name”
7. Identification Repentance for the FAMILY sphere/gate in society
- We identify with, and confess the root sins in society.
- Lack of love, awe, respect & reverence for God our Father, Jesus – Son of man, Brother, Bridegroom.
• Lack of love for others, abuse, human trafficking…, rejection, jealousy, striving…fear
• Lack of respect for parents, rebellion against parents/elders/discipline – is as witchcraft!
• Lack of respect for LIFE! Abortion, murder, rape, sexual-sins, perverseness, violence…
• Lack of respect for marriage covenant of God between man & women, adultery, gender confusion
8. Close the gate – Bind the bond of unrighteousness in the Family gate/ sphere:
- Bind the strongholds of fear, sin, righteousness, violence in the FAMILY GATE. (Ps34 &134)
- [[[Any demonic high places – to be specifically address. Blindness to fall away, their eyes to be opened. Bind witchcraft from operating through them and claim people for the kingdom of God.]]]
Mat 18:18-20
(18) “Assuredly, I say to you, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.
(19) “Again I say to you that if two of you agree on earth concerning anything that they ask, it will be done for them by My Father in heaven.
(20) For where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them.”
9. Scripture declarations – into the FAMILY sphere of society: (Ps 127 & 128)
Pray for the healing of hearts, relationships, families… broken lives. RESTORATION in the FAMILY.
Mal 4:2-3
(2) But to you who fear My name The Sun of Righteousness shall arise With healing in His wings; And you shall go out And grow fat like stall-fed calves.
Mal 4:5-6
(5) Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet Before the coming of the great…(6) And he will turn The hearts of the fathers to the children, And the hearts of the children to their fathers, Lest I come and strike the earth with a curse.
Psa 68:5-6
(5) A father of the fatherless, a defender of widows, Is God in His holy habitation.
(6) God sets the solitary in families; He brings out those who are bound into prosperity; But the rebellious dwell in a dry land.
10. Open the Gates – Loosen the bonds & Receive the Keys to unlock the door of His reign into our Nation
Rellease the PEACE of God over the 7 spheres of Society: Family, Belief, Economy, Education, Science & Technology, Media, Art & Sports, Government & Culture.
- Loosen the Good-news Gospel of truth into the FAMILY sphere.
- Make declarations of Faith, Hope & Love, Righteousness, Justice, Mercy.

Jos 1:9 Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go.

53. Prayer Partners Preparation for Prayer @The-Gates
Good day all Prayer @The-Gates’ Partners

Aligned (in association and in unity with prayer group/s, a spiritual covering, a local church/community of mature believers)
Num 27 & Heb13:17

Pro 1:7 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge, But fools despise wisdom and instruction.
Pro 9:10 “The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, And the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.
Commissioned (in the covering of God’s protection, power, wisdom & sovereignty).

Thanksgiving, praise & adoration of our Holy, most high God & Saviour.
(Ps.100, 103, 145-150)

Humble yourself before God and surrender completely to His will in obedience to His calling.(Is57:7, Jas4:5-7,10, Ps 10:17, 18:27)

(11) Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
(12) For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.
(13) Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
5. Pray for Protection
For yourself, your family(children), all acquaintances, your vocation (finances), possessions and the calling on your/their lives. (Job1:10, Ef2:10)(Ps 91, 121, 68)

Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.
52. Prayer @ The GATES Initiative Released
Good day all BELIEVERS in CHRIST – RSA
PRAYER @ THE GATES
7 SUNDAYS
7 GATES
7 x 1 HOUR Prayer
I hereby submit a PRAYER STRATEGY that can be released at will into faith communities, to Church Leaders & Spiritual Elders of your town/city/village/ suburb…and in your area.
[I will use our town as example:]
PRAYER @ THE GATES
14 April – 26 May 2024
The Lord released this PRAYER strategy for the 7 x Sundays before the elections.
With the continuous prayer for the elections that is initiated from the apparent 40 different platforms in the country, the Lord is calling us to account and pray for this nation’s condition.
Is 59-62
Our God has His plan for South Africa, to become the nation that He has destined it to be from the beginning of time… in order for Him to be hailed as the only true God of this nation… to receive all the honor and glory. He is the Creator, Savior and Redeemer of this Nation.
Zec 3:9-10
(9) For behold, the stone That I have laid before Joshua: Upon the stone are seven eyes. Behold, I will engrave its inscription,’ Says the LORD of hosts, ‘And I will remove the iniquity of that land in one day.
(10) In that day,’ says the LORD of hosts, ‘Everyone will invite his neighbor Under his vine and under his fig tree.’ “
There is a great testimony of the previous time when the Lord instructed us to pray at the “Gates” of Tzaneen. It had a paralyzing effect on the hostility & eminent anarchy that was embarking on our streets to disrupt the peace in our town. And as yet we have to keep on praying continuously and keep on standing in the gap… while we ourselves come in unison to stand together as one, as Christ and the Father are One. (Jhn 17)
Mat 7:13-14 (MSG)
(13) “Don’t look for shortcuts to God. The market is flooded with surefire, easygoing formulas for a successful life that can be practiced in your spare time. Don’t fall for that stuff, even though crowds of people do.
(14) The way to life—to God!—is vigorous and requires total attention.
Would you be able to take this further from your church/faith group/ fellowship side…?
It would be wonderful if the different Christ Faith Churches/fellowships could initiate it from their own groups as we could do this together at liberty to do as you are led.
1Ti 2:1-6
(1) Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men,
(2) for kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence.
(3) For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior,
(4) who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.
(5) For there is one God and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus,
(6) who gave Himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time,
SUGGESTED STRATEGY
Starting on Sunday the 14th of April and ending on the seventh Sunday, the 26th of May.
WHEN:
□ Sundays □ @ 16h00 – 17h00
□ 7 Dates:
14, 21, 28 April
5, 12, 19, 26 May
1. Identify the (7) Gates around your town/city/area. (Marked on a map if applicable)
Jos 1:3-6 Let the church as part of the commonwealth of Israel take up their position.
(3) Every place upon which the sole of your foot shall tread, that have I given to you, as I promised Moses.
(6) Be strong (confident) and of good courage, for you shall cause this people to inherit the land which I swore to their fathers to give them.
2. Appoint a responsible person/facilitator for each Gate you would man for each Sunday.
In order for mobilizing, overseeing and feedback, and ask them to invite people to join them at assembly points.
1Ti 2:8
(8) I desire therefore that in every place men should pray, without anger or quarreling or resentment or doubt [in their minds], lifting up holy hands.
3. Identify the specific gate where you want to pray.
Motivate people to identify the gate where they would like to attend and ask all to invite everyone on their media platforms to partake.
Psa 122:6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: “May they prosper who love you.
Jer 29:7 And seek the peace of the city where I have caused you to be carried away captive, and pray to the LORD for it; for in its peace you will have peace.
4. Identify the ASSEMBLY point
Assembly points to be identified together with the responsible person. They need to have peace about the spot.
Tzaneen: We will communicate the assembly points at the specific gates in Tzaneen via WhatsApp and on a next blogpost.
In all other places responsible persons need to communicate the specific assembly points with the people in their group
5. Prayer Points – will be prepared for every Sunday.
Specific strategic prayer points will be posted on a blog post for those relating back to me. But all is welcome to use their own…
There are 8 different spheres in society that makes it easier to know what to pray for.
For this Prayer initiative we can symbolically call it “Gates” in society.
Significant national & municipal landmarks for the EIGHT spheres in society can be identified along these spheres in society:
1. Family & Residential gate: suburbs, street, town, village and/or house.
2. Religious gate: Churches and places of worship (Acts3:2)
3. Governmental gate: Places of legislation and law: parliament, Union buildings,… all Courts, police stations, municipalities…
4. Education gates: universities, colleges, schools…
5. Business & commerce gates: JSE, places of commerce, banks…
6. Science & Technology gates: medical , science & engineering, (CSSR, chemists, hospitals, blood banks & clinics) … (Acts5:2)
7. Art & Culture gates: monuments, memorials…altars, rituals and ceremonies
8. Media gate: all forms and sections of media
ASSISTANCE & LEGALITIES
If possible organize a legalized security/assistance vehicle in case of any emergency for you’re your area.
I don’t know if this is necessary to arrange anything with the local municipalities for it is NOT a march.?
SEND FORTH THE CALL:
Your are encouraged to send this on to other groups and ask them to contact me/you if they will be joining… even if its just for one Sunday.
Mat 7:13-14
(13) “Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it.
(14) Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it.
PURPOSED OUTCOME:
This is for the safety, future destiny, Divine plan and peace in our nation… and in our homes eventually!
Mic 2:12-13
(12) “I will surely assemble all of you, O Jacob, I will surely gather the remnant of Israel; I will put them together like sheep of the fold, Like a flock in the midst of their pasture; They shall make a loud noise because of so many people.
(13) The one who breaks open will come up before them; They will break out, Pass through the gate, And go out by it; Their king will pass before them, With the LORD at their head.”
We hereby will release the BANNER of GOD’s NAME over this nation and put HIS NAME’S STAKE in the ground as we repent and ask God “to heal our land” :
- Symbolically we put our feet on the ground to pray and declare His name over our towns and nation – for His righteous Kingdom rule to be established in our nation. (Joshua 1:3, Ps. 89:14)
- The Body of Christ to rise up in unity to be one in God (John 17)
- Declarations & repentance unto salvation & eternal life only found in the truth of the Good News Gospel of Christ into our area & nation: Christ’s Blood speak forgiveness unto LIFE, NOT death! People to turn back to God their Father and Lord.
- As we humble ourselves and come in heartfelt repentance, the Lord forgives our sins and cleans us unto redemption. We can therefore come boldly to the Throne of grace to receive mercy in this hour as we stand in the GAP – on the rampart of the walls of our nation. The perfect price Christ paid for our redemption; – for nations, tribes & tongues redeems us back to the Father. (Heb 9&10)
- AS with Jericho we come together to release the Sound of the Almighty’s Voice (Shofar) over the area – releasing His REIGN and victory over sin and darkness. (Josh 6:4, Judges 7)
- Anoint the roads with the oil/salt as symbol of HIS cleansing, protection, preservation and His PRESENCE we desire to hover over our Nation. (Is 21 & Dan 9)
- We pray the End time purposes and plans of God to be established by His mighty working power – by His right hand – for ourselves, Body of Christ, our towns, country areas and nation.
Rev 22:12-13
(12) “And behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to give to every one according to his work.
(13) I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End, the First and the Last.”
Let us do this together.

- Where my own “things” & idols of the world have become more important than Your kingdom’s purposes, ways, worship of You and Your pre-eminence.
- Where I have compromised your temple – my body & soul, thoughts & actions.
- Where Your house of worship have been commercialized and humanized by the flesh’s weak commitments, sensation seeking, entertainment and lack of genuine faith.

49. TESTIMONY of GOD’S ANGELS of PROTECTION WITH US
TESTIMONY of GOD’S ANGELS of PROTECTION WITH US
01.03.2024
South Africa
A powerful testimony of God’s protection over our lives that a dear school friend of mine shared with me… testifying that our God is alive and with us every moment, everywhere!
On Friday (1.3.24) at 16:00, she was driving towards Roodepoort from Kemptonpark and was waiting at a (broken) traffic light. She was the 3rd car on the London Road bridge waiting to turn right onto the offramp towards the highway.
In the right rearview mirror, she saw someone approaching her window, pulling out a weapon. There were also one or two at the passenger window to the left.
The man at her window demanded her valuables… and she heard and saw the weapon being armed… Stunned by the mere gravity of the moment and thinking about the reports in the media that you should rather just co-operate in situations like these, she opened her window halfway, and was on the point of handing over her wedding ring and phone, as he continued shouting, “Give it, give it, Granny, give it!”
Then, suddenly realizing that the car in front had started moving, she closed her window and at the same time drove off quickly… ducking for the gunshots that were surely to follow.
But nothing further happened…
She testifies that it was only by God’s grace that she was alerted to see the car in front moving, as she does not generally think on her feet. The decision to race off was not hers .
In retrospect, she realized that the 1 or 2 men at the passenger window had no weapons, were not shouting, and did not knock or try to open the door…
They were clothed in white…
It must have been angels…
We praise God together with her for this amazing testimony that could have been so much different if God had not intervened.
God bless and keep you in this season

Thank you Heidi for sharing your testimony with me!
Scripture references:
Psa 91:9-11
(9) Because you have made the LORD, who is my refuge, Even the Most High, your dwelling place,
(10) No evil shall befall you, Nor shall any plague come near your dwelling;
(11) For He shall give His angels charge over you, To keep you in all your ways.
Psa 103:20-22
(20) Bless the LORD, you His angels, Who excel in strength, who do His word, Heeding the voice of His word.
(21) Bless the LORD, all you His hosts, You ministers of His, who do His pleasure.
(22) Bless the LORD, all His works, In all places of His dominion. Bless the LORD, O my soul!
Luke 9:26
(26) For whoever is ashamed of Me and My words, of him the Son of Man will be ashamed when He comes in His own glory, and in His Father’s, and of the holy angels.
Luke 12:8-10
(8) “Also I say to you, whoever confesses Me before men, him the Son of Man also will confess before the angels of God.
(9) But he who denies Me before men will be denied before the angels of God.
(10) “And anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man, it will be forgiven him; but to him who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven.
Luke 15:10
(10) Likewise, I say to you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents.”
Let us use this wonderful testimony to pray that more people will find Christ the Lord as their Savior and yield their life’s reign over to the Lord Jesus Christ.
Give Him a chance to show Himself credible in your life.
He is faithful! He is your God! The Father, the Son, your creator, and Savior…
He is the gentle voice of the Holy Spirit in your innermost being who lead you every step of the way as you yield to His pre-eminence within you.
Embrace Him today as the Lord of your life!
48. “Memo to the Called”
The pride of life & the things of this world forces its priority on us. Only as He is lifted on high all who wills to “see” will be drawn unto Him and He will be glorified! Hailed by all of creation! Worshipped as the Great I am !
Pride of Life…
Extreme is the task that lays ahead,
Gross the calamity of our flesh, soul and sinful dread,
Weaknesses that ensnares our path,
And, oh, the pride of life that tempts in our head.
Man of God…
Oh, man of God lay down your crown!
Rather dare to follow The Son instead
His ways are pure, His words are truth,
He speaks of love amongst many other gracious worth.
Before His Throne…
Have you yet considered the moment before His Throne?
When asked what did you do with love?
How many days was self your lead?
Now to reveal your recited self-righteous creed.
Feed His sheep…
Low we bow before Your greatness, Lord,
To lay down our crowns and sword,
How fallible our greatest speech,
And yet you send us to feed Your sheep.
Forgive us Lord…
Strengthen now our feeble knees,
Burn our lips with cleansing coals,
We want to make Your kingdom proud,
Not many days to sow Your Seed.
Only when Christ is lifted High…
So many still need to ‘see’ The Seed,
Grace in action our strongest feed,
His Blood was shed – not to be trample on,
Only when He is lifted up will more men come…
… In truthful worship at His feet.
Alna@T 5.3.24
Scripture reading:
Joh 12:31-38
(31) Now is the judgment of this world; now the ruler of this world will be cast out.
(32) And I, if I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all peoples to Myself.”
(33) This He said, signifying by what death He would die.
(34) The people answered Him, “We have heard from the law that the Christ remains forever; and how can You say, ‘The Son of Man must be lifted up’? Who is this Son of Man?”
(35) Then Jesus said to them, “A little while longer the light is with you.
Walk while you have the light, lest darkness overtake you; he who walks in darkness does not know where he is going.
(36) While you have the light, believe in the light, that you may become sons of light.” These things Jesus spoke, and departed, and was hidden from them.
(37) But although He had done so many signs before them, they did not believe in Him,
(38) that the word of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spoke: “LORD, WHO HAS BELIEVED OUR REPORT? AND TO WHOM HAS THE ARM OF THE LORD BEEN REVEALED?”
46. Man at W-R with G-d and Man
Man is at w-r with G-d and Man
As we wage w-r with man and sinful seed our own lives are measured for faithful deeds. The standard being His humbled birth and selfless lead…
– Align then to His humble Birth
Nations are at w-r
and People are fighting!
Throwing words and b-mbs
Seek resolve in g-n-blaze lightning
This folly makes me wonder…
Even more so – to ponder
What is their ‘just’ thinking
This might then dissolve?
How angry are they really!
How much anger is yet to come?
Is this not the rage against
The G-d… they too belong?
Wise counsel to steer the way
Yet, No answer to our frantic prayers!
Angry at This G-d – unmoved
by our demanding charade!
Controversial challenges
Leave us unsettled and unnerved
He seemed not to care, to dare…
Left us dabbling in our despair
For this is not an easy weight
to wear His golden crown
Facing human-stumbles on our path,
reveal our fickle ground…
How rich would you have been,
Without … sincere humbling?
Relentless yield to a Higher Hand
Expose the flaws within
How angry are you really!
Perhaps enraged against This G-d
For no display of tempered clay …
But teaching us obey – HIS ways!
And now…
The poor soul at his Cross, himself
Stand in your way to Ego-Bay
Being the foe… all hell-break-loose;
And none of these to us pertain?
How angry are you really!
Why so deepened in dismay,
Have you looked into your Father’s eyes,
Witness’d grace, His Lovin’ embrace…?
[- for all He has made.]
And even so and maybe yet
It’s not a man,
But G-d…
Standing in your zealous way
At w-r; fought in your stead.
If you so would belong to (your)self
For once adhere His urgent tell!
You could have been at High-Horse-Down,
already really dead!
As yet…
His love and mercy, in and through (us)
Truth’s only source to make us new
In guilt and shame, we all fall short…
‘His glory and renown
You have a name, yes! You are of worth
But so the next, and next man down your curve
A spoken premise, is yet to be lived
In sole-align to His humble birth
Still to Him our love to prove
As weighed in even-scale domain
For the measure of His fullness’ shaped
Is found amongst the dust… and fruit
To dust… from dust, let this be known
This is His Holy Grail
Found on the trodden path
in blood-stained steps
This is…
His Holy ground!

‘This is…’ – another / every human being’s God-given life
45. What do others think of us?
Reading 163. New Spirit Filled Life Daily Bible (NKJV) (ODH)
What others think of us?
Proverbs 18:17
“The first in his cause seems just, but his neighbor comes and searches him.”
“His neighbor cometh and searcheth him out.”
It is easy to boast of what we are or are not, but the real question is as to what others think of us?
Would that credit us with the highest attainments in Christian living? Would they concede the reality and beauty of our characters?
After all, might not we be mistaking our ideals for our attainments, and judging ourselves by a lower standard than we apply to others?
Might not our wives and sisters, our husbands and brothers search us?
It is so much easier to plead our own cause in a meeting than to stand clear in the searching scrutiny of the home.
And if our neighbors search us, what does God think of us as the fierce light of His eyes scans us and reads our deepest secrets?
What should we do… were it’s not for the blood of Christ?
I used to hesitate once to call myself a miserable sinner, but as I know myself better, I begin to feel that it is a reasonable designation.
That is what we are by nature, though we have been made by divine grace, children, heirs, joint heirs with Christ.
Job, the righteous man confessed himself vile when God’s light revealed him.
F.B. Meyer, Our Daily Homily.
44. Ignorance of our Depravity
Reading 161. New Spirit Filled Life Daily Bible (NKJV)
(SOCS)
2 Kings 8 verses 12, 13
Our ignorance of the depravity of our own hearts is a startling fact.
Hazael did not believe that he was bad enough to do any of the things here anticipated.
“Is thy servant a dog that he should do this great thing.”
He might have been conscious enough that his heart was none so pure, but it might consent to do many an evil thing, yet crimes so flagrant as those the prophet had foretold of him, he thought himself quite incapable to commit…
Ah, my brethren, the ignorance of Hazael is ours to a greater or less degree.
In our natural state we are oblivious of the depravity of our own hearts…
Ay, but, my brethren, we were, to a great degree, cured of this our ignorance when the Spirit of God brought us under conviction…
Much of our ignorance was taken away; but alas! how much remained!…
None of us know, after all, much of the baseness of our hearts…
The depravity of our nature forbids… a venturing or presuming to play and toy with temptations…
He who carries gunpowder about him had better not stand where there are many sparks…
I implore thee, therefore, as thou wouldst honor thy God, and thou wouldst stand in brightness, go not I beseech thee where the temptation to sin is glaring, and flatter thyself that thou will come out guileless…
God grant that we may not… be as Hazael, the perpetrators of crimes of which we never suspected ourselves capable.

43. ANDER MAN SE AGTERPLAAS
In ‘n Ander Man se Agterplaas
9.11.23
VIR MY MAN ! Dàar’s nou ‘n MAN!
In i’n ander man se agterplaas
kronkel-pad ons wild
Deur rooi-sand kinkels… nog i’n bult
Lei die spore ons soms ongewild
Witstof, stof-voetspore
trap diep-duike in die sand
‘N merk gemaak,… ‘k was vlusies hier,
alvorens wel-vergete, ons by ruskant neer gaan lê
Stof is jy mens, en tot stof is jy hierna-mals.
benoud lê ‘niet’ en ‘nuut’, dan sy aan sy
Maar nou en hier, in hierdie uur…
‘Leef-die-Lewe’, steeds verblyd!
Lang skaduwees rek oor die sandpad traag
van Oos na Wes trek die Son sy snaar –
Sleep Hy die Lig, Sy strepe mee
Dis moi hoe die Lig hom wis bekeer
I’n swart volstruis strek sy vlerke wyd
die koel bries vang waar die hitte knyp
Een ander skop i‘n stofwolk op
lê diep genessel in sy stofbad-pot
Wind’ waai die grasrietjies dwars gevleg
Wit-gepunt staan hul strepies in die wind
Winde waai die hempie plat gedruk
Daar is i’n MAN op die land…, een Man wat bid
Die grond smeek vir i‘n druppel reën

Die saad wag gretig droog indie skuur…

As i’n man se perd, styf-sit hier onder hom

Daars i’n vuur wat hoog-brand in sy binnekas
“Hier moet i‘n man nou boer!”
Die reën het geval! Horison-hoop!
Diep-en-wyd het Hy nat gemaak
Die goeie-grond se uur is hier
Kyk! Sy hierna-mals kos Hom baie duur
Met ploeg en skaar lê die saad in die grond,
die aarde ruk-n-bewe hier onder rond
Die oes lê ryp… die oes is af…
Diè man het grond… groot geboer!
Stof is jy mens! En tot stof is jy hierna-mals…
Kyk hoe trek die stof soos mis
Die stof weeg lig, dit vlug vooruit…
Want stof…
is lig!
-o-o-o-o-o-
Dankie, my man, … dankie pa… !
Vir alles wat jy doen en vir wie jy is voor en in Hom!

42. Ongenaakbare Lewe Genaakbare Genade
I ODE aan die God van Lewe!
ONGENAAKBARE LEWE GENAAKBARE GENADE
Die barre landskap lê dor en rooi,
wyd-voor, uitgestrek
Bitter droog gesuig… en leeg
‘I Ieder korrel sand
Rooi, wit-oranje… dale en duine
rol soos ligjare in suksessie vooruit
Oënskynlik is alles dood
Daar is niks lewe – die lewe is dood
Wit beendere… wig skoon en swaar op die sand
Nog ‘n geraamte kyk met hol oë terug na my
Ongenaakbare lewe
Waar is die lewe?
Sien JY,… lewe hier?
Net i sandkorrel tussen…IN die Saad;
Saad, tussen… die sand
Kyk! – hier ìs Saad!
Hier is nog Lewe!
Alleen skuif die duine in
langs mekaar se sy
Die stilte dreun verdowend voort
– afwagtend die eerste plof van ‘n reën
Ongenaakbare lewe
– ek het oorleef!
Genaakbare genade.
Ek leef nog!
Ek leef steeds!

41. Word of Encouragement : BUT GOD – HE IS!
31.7.23
WORD of ENCOURAGEMENT for YOU: BUT GOD – HE IS!
I trust and pray with my whole heart that you are well.
In relation with the strategic mission of SABACKTOGOD Ministries… the Lord has laid it deep in my heart that we will pray into the 8 spheres of society.
CALL TO PRAYER
It is crucial that we lift up our voices in PRAYER and rise up, where we can, to have an influence directly into these 8 gates of society.
Many of you/us are battle weary…and can’t even think where to get the strength and energy to pray these days with the same fervor… let alone to go and do!
The enemy has attacked us from all sides… and the many distractions in our daily lives are tiring our souls to the point that we want to let go of our guard and our prayers of petition and intercession.
And yet we KNOW that PRAYER, together with a sound mind, power, and love that He has given us.. is the way…
BUT GOD ♎ ‼️
He will give us His strength again. He will gird up our loins with His vigor and Spirit Armor. God will be our flank on the sides and our rearguard prayer.
HE IS the victory!
HE IS the battle already won!
HE is the answer!
He is the perfect END to our destiny and mission.
He is our strength and focussed vision!!!
And HE IS in the midst of our day to day walking out of every little step… by step.
He is our Help, our Guard, Guide and Glory.
HE IS the REWARD.
HE is the HOPE in our story…
He IS EVERY DAY!
NOT one day, HE IS not!
A CRITICAL MOMENT IN SOUTH AFRICA
It is a very crucial moment in the history of SA and our Father is relying on His kinsmen to rise up to the occasion and stand on the rampart. To decree into the spiritual realm what we want to see happening in the physical.
It is not the time to sink into the down bubble SIGHT of our soul dimension.
It is now the time to encourage each other to SEE and DECLARE according to the SIGHT from the higher heights of the EAGLE’S flight.
May you experience His ever-present presence, peace, and strength in this time.
Value and Appreciate you.

37. The COMMUNION Table
Each one of us needs to receive our own revelation & understanding of what Christ did for us on the Cross.
WHAT a privilege then to gather together around the Communion Table to allow the Holy Spirit to minister to us.
WE NEED TO CHANGE
AS YOU COME to the Communion TABLE… something in you need to CHANGE.
• Something in us needs to CHANGE and BREAK, that something can BREAK-THROUGH.
IF NOT – this can MOST LIKELY just become another ritual in our lives.
THE ELEMENTS on the Communion Table
ON this TABLE THERE ARE 3 MAIN ELEMENTS
• THE BREAD represents Christ’s BODY broken…
• THE WINE / GRAPE-SAP represents His Life & His BLOOD shed for us:
• THE CROSS is AN ALTAR – representing A PLACE for the atonement work of Christ,
a place of TRANSITION.
THE EXCHANGE at the Communion Table
THIS TABLE also SPEAKS of an ANCHOR-POINT of EXCHANGE!!
• You bring your STUFF – put it on the table.
• We bring our brokenness, disappointment, hurt, fears, challenges, flaws… our sins. We bring our needs, sicknesses and failures… and lay it down…
• In EXCHANGE we pick up the bread & the wine, the symbols of the victorious Christ… We EAT the elements. It becomes PART OF US as He now becomes part of our life.
Isa 53 :4-5“4 Surely He has BORNE our griefs And carried our sorrows; …
Bible NKJV
5 But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes we are healed.”
PERSONALIZE THE CROSS
• As we REMEMBER Christ ; we ALSO come quickly to REPENT of sins… we FORGIVE passionately… & GET RID of every hindrance!!
• We come with HUMBLE, penitent hearts.
• What happens here is not a ritual, a custom or religious action… IT is real!!
• WE do not only come to RECEIVE – BUT ALSO to ACCEPT it BY FAITH.
• You have to PERSONALIZE the Cross for your own life… making this experience at the Communion Table real to your personal life…
THE BREAD
THE BREAD SPEAKS of His Body – BROKEN, BRUISED, BEATEN
• We bring our BROKENNESS and LET GO… to receive something new from Him…
• We RECEIVE His WHOLENESS in exchanged for our failures & distresses.
• NOW we can step into RESTORATION by ACCEPTING His GIFT by FAITH.
THE BLOOD
THE BLOOD SPEAKS of LIFE, Forgiveness, Redemption, HIS Righteousness. It ANSWERS all the accusations of the evil one !!!
Bible NKJV
In Lev 17:11 it is written:
“For the LIFE of the flesh is in the blood, and I (God) have given it to you on the altar to make atonement for your souls.”
THE ALTAR – THE CROSS
• IN the O.T., the Blood of sacrifice – slaughtered, had to be sprinkled on the ALTAR…
• If there was no blood shed – there was no atonement.
• On the Via de la Rosa – the way to the Cross, and on the Cross itself, Christ’s Blood was TOSSED, SPRINKLED, SCATTERED and DISPERSED all over….
• It was done as God prescribed it… even in this extreme, harshest way.
• God knew how DESTRUCTIVE the sins of this world would become.
• God knew how much DEVASTATION our sins will cause to our lives…
• Therefore the punishment was so severe… the ULTIMATE PRICE had to be paid FOR us.
AS YOU PARTAKE of COMMUNION
AS you COME… I want to ENCOURAGE you to…
• ALLOW Him to touch, cleanse, heal you, set you free & bring you PEACE.
• ASK God to wash you with His Blood: “GOD WASH me WHOLE with Your Blood”
Something needs to happen here … and so every time and when-ever we draw near to GOD…
Christ said “IT is FINISHED” ; THIS IS IT… this is all you need!
COMMUNION – GOD’S LOVE FOR YOU DISPLAYED
The COMMUNION Table is the heightened symbol or display of God’s LOVE.
• This is the EPITOME of WHO GOD IS and WHAT CHRIST did TO establish us into the NEW COVENANT with the Father.
• A COVENANT of an ETERNAL RELATIONSHIP with the ONLY TUE God that is real in your life RIGHT NOW, TODAY.
• CHRIST is standing here… with His arms open wide:
“My Child…The Father LOVES you… the SON… and the Holy Spirit LOVES you.”
CONCLUSION on my contemplation at The Communion Table
As you leave here today… receive and take hold of His Blood that speaks life to you & KNOW that Christ’s BLOOD WILL help you to overcome!
