Last Thursday, Hilary and I returned from Florida to discover that the ‘hole in the ice’ season in Minnesota was gone….along with all the snow!

Our last visit to ‘the Sonshine’ State, was ‘pre-covid’ and our experience this time underscored that sense that we have ‘crossed the threshold’ into a new season as God’s plan for this nation and humanity moves forward.

The week in St Augustine was not only filled, but topped and tailed with grace. It was a Flori-DA-DAY : – )

Booking ‘last minute’ air mile flights, there were only a few scattered seats I had to choose from.

“Let me see if I can get you together” said the agent at Minneapolis airport our way out. We knew the trip was ‘in step with the Spirit’ when we ended up side by side in row 27 on our way to the 27th State having listen again that morning to our life chapter Acts 27 at our home on 27th Avenue!

“Let me see if I can get you together.” said the agent at Jacksonville on our way home. We ended up next to each other in 5A and 5B, and then again in 2A and 2B….. leaving from Gate 22. (22= Sons of Light)

The seats on both flights were an ‘Upgrade’…..as was the car our friends had left us to use……a Subaru Outback, the model ‘up’ from our Subaru Crosstrek……. also just recently purchased…… and again, with another ‘double grace’ message on the license plate!!

If you have been reading these blogs over the years you will be aware that there have been two ‘cradle sites’ of this nation we have been repeatedly lead to. New England, and in particular the small town of Great Barrington, Massachusetts, where friends have faithfully stood, pastorally, prophetically and prayerfully for many years. I therefore made a big deal of it when early on in the ‘scamdemic’ it was in that spot that ‘The Great Barrington Declaration‘ was crafted. When it was casually dismissed by Dr John Campbell and actively suppressed by Dr Fauci, I knew it was likely a voice of sanity and truth in the midst of the madness!

We must have visited St Augustine in Florida 20 times since we moved here! It is a ‘foundational’ city…… where the first ‘eucharist’ was celebrated on north American soil and the first mission ‘Nombre De Dios.” established. Sadly although the name of God came with those first Spaniards, often the ‘Spirit of God’ has been grieved as the nature of God, ‘the servant king’ has not been revealed through his church. It is for a ‘restoration’ of an ‘authentic’ expression of the kingdom of God that we have prayed on each visit there over the years (often at ‘Christ the King’ church!) inviting King Jesus to come and take his place.

On this trip we had many winks and smiles from heaven indicating that the time for those prayers to be answered is here.

At a national level we arrived just after Gov. Ron DeSantis had hosted a Roundtable discussion that resulted in Florida leading the way to counter the false ‘Bablyonian’ narrative. The three doctors from the Great Barrington Declaration where among the invited experts contributing to the reestablishment of a foundation of truth and integrity. So we felt personally encouraged to see these two ‘cradle sites’ both featuring in this ‘turn around’. In a summary of an article by Dr. Mercola two of the G.B. doctors are referenced…….

“According to Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, one of the most egregious mistakes made was to ignore the fact that there’s a thousand-fold difference in risk between the lowest and highest risk groups. Children are at virtually no risk of dying from COVID, yet children have been forced to bear the burden of disease prevention. “Almost from the very beginning of the pandemic, we adopted policies that seem like they were tailor-made to harm children,”

“According to Dr. Sunetra Gupta, what we’ve seen over the past two years is an “inversion of the schedule of uncertainty.” Doubt was cast on things that were certain, while certainty was claimed for things we had no clue about. Decision makers chose to do the very things we knew, for certain, would cause harm. They inverted the precautionary principle to minimize harm, and chose to maximize harm instead.”

Our previous visits to St. Augustine had been filled with P&P (preaching and praying). This trip was more characterized by R&R (“REST” and re-creation).

We borrowed our friends beach cruiser bikes and were given a lock with the combination code…….

I rotated one of the barrels. it was a momentary, almost effortless move. The result was powerfully prophetic……..

The cloth that has been used to obscure the face of God’s creation will now become a sail that will be filled as the Spirit of God, propels forward into God’s destiny, the people of ‘His kingdom’

A trumpet blast can sound the alarm, be a call to battle, be a declaration of victory…..or all three.

I have said previously how I believe we are currently in World War Three. Because it is an informational war where the Mainstream channels have been ‘captured’ by “the powers that (think they) be”, most are still unaware of this. Fortunately many are beginning to ‘Awaken’

I have for example previously mentioned Dr John Campbel, a popular ‘covid’ analyst. I have not questioned the doctor’s sincerity but his narrow perspective, and a naivety when it comes to trusting humans and their institutions. In a recent video he analyses the Pfizer documents which the company wanted to keep hidden for another 55 years and that reveal massive health dangers from the experimental ‘jabs’ Campbell had been urging people to get. His conclusion is “This is quite alarming!” **

“Awaken with J.P Sears” uses forthright satire to help us to ‘Awaken’ ……sounding the alarm about what is ‘hidden in plain sight’.

Information such as this excerpt from Schwab’s book is not something you will ever see on BBC or PBS……

The way in which this is playing out is described by Dr Lee Merrit in this interview about the “DNA war against humanity.”

For some of you “Sounding the Trumpet” ……..of alarm!…. like this, might be a lot of ‘truth bombs’ all at once………which is what I began this blog with the song affirming God’s already established victory in Christ.

Gideon’s army was a small company whose victory ended up benefiting all the people. As they blew their trumpets and broke the earthen jars revealing the light …..it raised the alarm…… in the enemy camp! The trumpet blast was also a call to battle as fighting ensued……. but with the enemy fighting among themselves! The trumpet blast proved also to be the Lord’s victory blast!

One of our visits to New Zealand was just after Lord of the Rings had been filmed there. After picking up our camper van in Auckland we decided to purchase the cassette tape set of the BBC Radio4 dramatization of the Trilogy to listen to as we toured the islands. It was uncanny how when we came to a certain part of the story we found ourselves in the location at which the movie had been set.

Then we came to the end of the story at MORDOR where Gollum wrestling the ring from Frodo, plunges into the lake of fire precipitating the destruction of MOUNT DOOM and the whole evil empire, as Frodo is whisked away by the eagles to safety. (Ex. 19:4) For Frodo on his odyssey with the ‘one ring to rule them all’ the mountain of DOOM became the mountain of his DESTINY.

As I pondered this I thought how the name MORDOR could be taken as MURDER. After all this is the avowed purpose of God’s enemy who seeks to steal, kill and destroy those who bear his image and likeness.

We pulled into a parking lot in the region where the final scenes had been filmed, at the foot of what looked like Mt DOOM in the midst of the barren volcanic landscape. It was a bleak day and there was not another soul around. Then I noticed on the ground another cassette tape, only this one had the guts of the tape pulled out, strewn over the ground. We had been hearing about how Satanists would speak curses onto tape and then unravel that tape/curse at the targeted location.

So once again we got out our trumpet and blew it…….

“Lord Jesus we enthrone you. We proclaim you are King ……….of THIS place……..and of the whole of creation! Come Lord Jesus and take your place.”

As J.P. and Lee conclude, in this ‘evil day’ we are called to stand as Gideon’s army, bravely, without fear, knowing that as we Sound the Trumpet that we each have been given, we too shall in due season see the Lord’s victory. Then it will become clear that Mount Doom for some…… has become Mount Destiny, for that Overcomer company

O the blood, the blood of Jesus

O the blood, that ransomed me

O the blood, the blood of Jesus

For ever found. Boundless and free.

For there is nowhere that the blood does not extend

And there is no one that the blood will not befriend

And there is no wound that the blood can never mend.

For the blood of Jesus knows no end!

“You let men ride over our heads. We went through fire and water, but you brought us to a place of abundance.”(Ps. 66:12)

We have just returned from a few days of deep ‘koinonia’ in the depths of a winter wonderland of lakes and woods…..“Up North”.

One of the highlights was the ‘bonding’ of being ‘partners in sauna’, or was that partners in trauma, as seconds after emerging from the 210 degree log cabin, we plunged through a hole in the ice into Burntside Lake…….then back into the heat of the ‘fire’, then once again into the icy ‘water’ for a double baptism with twin Thomas!!

In the afterglow, we paused to look up into the same ‘pollution free’ sky that Abraham would have wondered at, thousands of years ago. There we too saw the promise of “abundance” demonstrated in the countless stars in the heavens on the far side of some ‘fire and water’ for Abraham too.

This was the perfect place and time for Sharon to produce her book just published, 365 devotionals under the title, “Heaven and Nature Sing.”

As we gathered to pray that God would abundantly bless this inspired anthology, I started up,

“The heavens declare the glory of God

The earth echos back, “His love spreads abroad.

It runs in the streams; streams in the breeze,

Bursts forth from the earth and explodes in the trees.”

And the whole of creation cries with one voice,

“Your Maker loves you; Rejoice! O man. Rejoice!”

Camp Du Nord with the Rupes, and Lynx Lodge where we wrote, “The FREEDOM! song”, brought back wonderful memories…..

On the day you were born I danced over you,

On the day you were born I rejoiced

On the day you were born all heaven proclaimed,

“You’re the child of my love, you’re my choice.”

…….Yet looking forward, we all sensed ourselves on the verge of another ‘Kingdom’ birthing.

“You’ve come this far now step further out

Out of the vale of tears.

You’ve come this far now move farther in,

While all of heaven cheers,

Freedom! Freedom!……”

My mind wandered “Down South”

…….this time to Australia, and to a FREEMAN there……Kathy that is.

Kathy Freeman was the Aboriginal hero of the 2000 Sydney Olympics, but not before that major faux pas at the opening ceremony when the lift that was meant to carry her up ‘through fire and the water‘ faltered….. as if our Father was wanting to make a point – such as highlighting the above scripture??

Kathy did indeed go on to experience ‘abundance’ in the glory of the gold.

That was in the days before the shameful events of the last years when ‘men rode over the heads’ of Kathy’s people, herding them into ‘Covid concentration camps.’

My mind wanders to another Aussie experience. This time in the Aboriginal Homelands were we were invited by our friends Peter Greenwood and Dan and Sue Armstrong to serve their Aboriginal family.

Sharing with those of a different race and culture and language, again many hundreds of miles from the polluting glare of ‘citilization’, the stunningly clear night sky again became my ‘black board’ with the constellations providing the ageless illustration of the good news of God’s love….. with the Southern bonus of the Southern Cross!

“The Heaven’s declare the glory of God”, once again providing the musical setting…….the spirit of the song, if not the understood words, urging a response to our Maker’s great love……..Rejoice! O man. Rejoice!

Somehow I have only one or two photos from that trip, but it only takes one……..

This was the canyon we visited one day after the ‘once in a lifetime’ rains had fallen that year, and we had the rare privilege of seeing in the heart of this vast land, ‘the desert bloom’. As we hiked down to the bottom of this canyon, along the normally dry river bed there ran a stream of crystal clear water.

It was as if I was compelled to simply lie down in it and experience Dad’s love washing over me. I can still go there in my spirit and feel the light of the sun shining through the water through my closed eyelids bathing me in life!

“So Father what is the meaning of the JORDAN RIVER that you have had me writing about?” I have been asking.

The answer I seem to have been given is this…..

JORDAN Peterson’ teaches and demonstrates how to die well in life. James and Denise JORDAN teach and demonstrate how to live well in death.

Both of these are embodied in Jesus baptism in the JORDAN river. This is where he ‘legally’ died. it is also where he ‘legally’ was raised again to life, and as the Spirit descended and rested on him, he received the blessing from his Father’s heart,

“This is my beloved son in whom I am well pleased.”

Even as I rose from that river of Dad’s delight, so too I believe will the Aboriginal people, and all those oppressed by the devil throughout the world, arise as from the dead into newness of life,

………and shine as ‘stars’ in their Father’s kingdom.

“……so that you may become blameless and pure, “children of God without fault in a warped and crooked generation.” Then you will shine among them like stars in the sky.” (Phil.2:15)

P.S. We arrived back and were soon reminded of life’s challenges….. a car crash….. an unexpected bill!!

I called the eye surgeon’s business office to appeal the $210. “We would be happy to cancel that charge.” was the welcomed response.

I recalled that it had been 210 degree heat “Up North”.

210 represents Jacob’s trouble.

Seems like another encouraging sign……the trouble is going to be cancelled….as we pass through the fire and the water…..into a place of abundance!

Hallelujah! Thank you Father!

If the JORDAN RIVER is represented by JORDAN Peterson from Canada in the North, that same river flowing to New Zealand in the south finds another namesake there…… James and Denise JORDAN.

One of the first gatherings we had here at Rivendell, was with Kiwis, James and Denise. I remember it well. We had about 100 people crammed into the Upper Room. At one point as we danced up and down ‘in synch’ someone burst in through the door shouting, “STOP!” He had been alarmed by the reverberations and shaking fixtures and doors throughout the main house!! Fortunately the floor did not give way with the resonance…… and we all lived to tell the story!

The Jordans were bringing the message of the Father’s Heart to Rivendell in 2002, the same year the ‘father figure’ of the movement, Jack Winter died. We were privileged to get to know Jack in his last years in his Minneapolis home.

On one of our early visits to New Zealand we met with James and Denise in their homeland. I remember being told if you draw a line from Jerusalem through the centre of the earth, the nearest city you would reach would be Christchurch, New Zealand. So from Jerusalem, it is literally at …….the end of the earth.

We hadn’t heard from them for many years until a few months ago when they sent an email. James wrote,

Years ago, when I realised that the Father had given Jesus a “Son-sized” assignment (the salvation of the world) I saw that for me to be a son appropriate to who our Father is, I needed a “son-sized” vision. 

Therefore, to see this revelation of God’s Trinitarian Love go into every stream of Christianity, every culture, every country, and finally face to face with every person, is what we live for.

The above photograph of a lion and Zebra, natural enemies, drinking side by side from the same watering hole was part of their message.

Thus took me back to the week Hilary and I spent at the Bay of Islands, next to the Waitangi Treaty site. The Psalm we were due to read the first morning was Psalm 67.

Each subsequent morning Father checked us from moving on, and had us read again Psalm 67! I described how we were on the ground floor, our room opening out onto the hotel gardens. Well each morning as we read we noticed a new species of exotic bird would appear before us! We knew these represented different ethnic groups or nations and that it was a confirmation of God’s word in the psalm,

“May God be gracious to us and bless us and make his face shine upon us; may your ways be known on earth, your salvation among ALL NATIONS.”

At the end of the week we flew from the North Island to Christchurch on the south island. Bible open on the tray table in front of me, I was pondering the psalm once again, when the man next to me asked what I was reading.

“Psalm 67.” I said.

He said,

“I have just left my successful engineering business in the North Island to return to a YWAM base in the South because God has been speaking to me about this being a time to devote to training people for the wave of evangelism that will go from here to the ends of the earth.”

Then he said.

“The psalm God used to speak this to me, was the one you are reading…..Psalm 67!”

The next time we were back in Ireland we were dining with friends on one occasion, when I was taken with the tablecloth which had a variety of different birds drawn on it. The material was particularly durable and so Hilary enquired where our friend had bought it.

The next day we went to the store to see if we could purchase the same cloth for our long table at Rivendell. As I sat waiting in the car, I noticed a simple young man walk by in front of me. He paused, gesturing at the license plate of the neighboring parked vehicle, and mouthing words. When he moved on, I got out to see what it was he could possibly have been describing.

The number plate read 67. EZ. This what he had been repeating to himself, “67,. EZ. 67 EZ….”

It was as if our Father was answering the question.

“Is Pealm 67 possible?…… Could the revelation of God’s love and his salvation pssibly go to every nation…. even to every person?”

The answer he said was……..“EASY!”

May THE RIVER of God’s Spirit revealing the love of the Father in the gift of the Son go forth from the NEW ‘ZEAL of the Lord’ LAND at ….the end of the earth

…….. To the ENDS of the EARTH.

“Deeply challenging and provoking. Thank you.”

After posting Jordan Peterson yesterday, I got the above message from a holy sister in Belfast.

Then this morning, March 2, in my reading of Proverbs chapter 2, what stood out was verse 2. There’s 222 again!

“So train your heart to listen when I speak and OPEN YOUR SPIRIT WIDE TO EXPAND YOUR DISCERNMENT— then pass it on to your sons and daughters.”

Having moved to the USA and been privileged to travel to all five continents and share across the denominational band width we have been wonderfully blessed to have been exposed to an amazing breadth of influences. Hebrews 5:14 talks about training ourselves “to distinguish good from evil.”

Hilary’s father was an great judge of character (after all he approved of me : – ) as is Hilary. Together I think we have we have something of a nose for “Good People” which is reflected in who we tend to seek out to listen to. This does not mean we agree with everything they say, we must always ask Father what to receive and what to leave, but there is some trust there to begin with, as we open our spirits wide to expand our discernment.

Last night in my sleep, I met and spoke with Dell Bigtree. I believe he’s another ‘good man’, not perfect, but with his heart in the right place. I have mentioned a number of other ‘good people’ over the years in the blogs who may be ‘out of the box’ or maybe that should be ‘out of the matrix’ since we have stopped watching ‘the box’, that God has been using to speak to us.

God of course can speak to us through anyone, good or evil…….. In fact through anything.……like this morning’s GreenMedinfo meme : – )

It occurred to me that the river I saw flowing out of Canada in the north……..and then to New Zealand in the south, is the JORDAN RIVER, as incarnated in two people…. both named Jordan.

I was confirmed in this sense when I discovered that the first of these Jordans, Jordan Peterson the Canadian Professor of Psychology is due to lecture here in Minneapolis next week : – )

In recent years many, many people, especially young men adrift in today’s turbulent world, have found Peterson to be a source of solid truth, tested wisdom and heartfelt kindness that has helped them find direction and meaning as they navigate the storms of life. J.P. does not peddle in untested lies, but in lived truth.

Last week I had the privilege of sitting in a living room as part of a surreal circle of dark skinned, black robed men, heavy crosses dangling from their necks, and long grey beards from their chins! These noble priests were from the Ethiopian, the Armenian, the Coptic and the Indian Orthodox churches. The subject of our conversation together was, “What is the church?”

Seeking for truth in scriptures and tradition they lamented how many among their congregations, and clergy too, had settled for the building, the weekly service, the ethnic culture, the institution, stopping short of the ‘called out company’ of dissidents that the word ‘Ekklesia’ describes.

(We determined last Sunday in our home fellowship to begin studying the highly relevant book, “Live Not By Lies” by another Orthodox priest, Rod Dreher. It’s subtitle is, “A handbook for Christian dissidents.”)

Toward the end of our conversation, Father Jacob talked about the visions of “The Shepherd of Hermas.” who described a tower being built on the river of the Holy Spirit. The tower was the Church, and the stones of which it is built, are the faithful.

This grabbed may attention, because a few weeks ago I had an unusual dream in which I was in a tower that had been built on a river. In my dream the tower was being shaken and loose stones where falling away! When I awoke the scripture that came was, “Once again I am shaking the heavens and the earth, so that that which cannot be shaken will remain….Since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken let us be thankful and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe, for our God is a consuming fire.”“(Heb. 12:26-29)

One of the most rehearsed verses from scripture in our day is 2 Chron.7:14. “If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and see my face and turn from their wicked ways…..” I have been thinking about how it does NOT say. “If my people, who call themselves, by my name…..”

In these days many who have called themselves Christian or Christian leaders seem to have fallen away, in that they have failed to live up to what I would call ‘The Peterson test’ of courage, truth and action, whereas he, who would not dare to call himself a Christian, seems to exhibit in bucketfuls these ‘Christ’ qualities, as well as the ‘reverence and awe’ of Hebrews 12.

Could humility, prayer, seeking out the truth, and costly repentance, be descriptive in determining who God recognizes as his own, as much as directive for those who take that name to themselves?

When asked by the interviewer, “Are you a prophet?” Peterson replies, “I don’t see myself as a religious leader.” Yet I believe the river of God evidently flows through this man who does not take to himself any title such as Priest or Pastor, Apostle or Prophet, Archbishop or Pope.

I know I need to apply ‘the Peterson test’ to myself first, lest I find as one who carries Christ’s name and gospel, I have become ‘fake news’

Interestingly our house was built by a man also called Peterson. We were told he laid a foundation of 250 tons of crushed rock….. three feet deep and laser leveled! We have often used this to illustrate the importance of solid foundations so that when the shaking comes……we will stand, because we have bowed….. as the first Peter did, to King Jesus, whom he saw by revelation as “The Christ, the Son of the living God”

Bear in mind Psalm 2 as you listen to this shorter piece…

As this Jordan River flows from Canada in the North, this same river that I identified flowing to New Zealand in the South, finds another namesake in that country…… which I will write about in the next blog.

“O send out your LIGHT and your TRUTH; let them lead me; let them bring me to your holy hill and to your dwelling.” (Ps.43:3)

The last blog about our ‘The Sons of LIGHT‘ experiences on 2/22/22, featured Robin’s song “……There’s a LIGHT” and the story of Hilary and Mike having cataracts removed so the LIGHT could shine into their eyes again, so they could see more truly.

I subsequently discovered this 2/22/22 was also the day when TRUTH Social media app was launched. This new platform where content will not be censored aims to provide a window through which the world can escape the ‘propaganda’ of corrupt Big Tech and Big Media and receive LIGHT in order to discover the TRUTH about what is really going on in our world.

I resonated strongly with the LIGHT and TRUTH of this prophecy by Johnny Enlow,

I re-read the January 22th and 26th blogs where I wrote about God’s displeasure with church leaders. Johnny Enlow elaborates on this as he speaks about Jubilee and Justice. I also referenced the song “You Came to Me”

The song concludes,

He’ll come for me; The time is drawing near

When the KING and JUDGE of all the earth in glory shall appear.

He’ll come for me; and all the world will see.

This MOST HIGH KING of LOVE; He’ll come for you and me.

Please listen to the song……

Now let me tell you the story of how on last TWOsday…….2/22/22, we were overwhelmed with encouragement….. so you too can be encouraged!

Just to remind you….. the number 22 represents “Sons of LIGHT”

When I posted the photo of the Canberra last Tuesday and spoke about our ‘St. Brendan’s sailing adventure in life‘, I had no idea that Robin would post his song with the above photo, also of a ship, that same day!

Each of us have a personal adventure where God ADds to us as we VENTURE out with faith in him to sail through the storms of life. This song and the others that comprise Robin’s shortly to be released album “The Rubicon is a Red River”, expresses what has been added to him through the storms of the last few years.

Last TWOsday also ‘just happened’ to be the TIME Hilary was given to have her right eye operated on to remove a cataract. It had been rapidly darkening her sight. The operation was not a day too soon!

It is Hilary’s habit as we are getting dressed in the morning to listen to the bible being read. Twossday 2/22 ‘just happened’ to be TIME for Revelation 22. Revelation 22:2 says,

“…and the leaves of the trees are for the healing of the nations.”

It is also our habit to read a Psalm together every morning. So as we drove to the appointment it ‘just happened’ to be TIME for Psalm 42. Hilary read,

“My deep need calls out to the deep kindness of your love. Your waterfall of weeping sent waves of sorrow over my soul, carrying me away, cascading over me like a thundering CATARACT.

Wow! We didn’t know cataracts were in the bible!!

It continued,

“All through the day Yahweh has commanded his endless love to pour over me. Through the night I sing his songs and my praises.”

When”Overwhelmed” by a cascade of trouble, God “Overwhelms” us with the cascade of his love!’

We drove along Highway 65. Isaiah 65:1 reads, “I revealed myself to those who did not ask for me; I was found by those who did not seek me. To a nation that did not call on my name, I said, ‘Here am I, here am I.’“

This speaks of God opening our eyes to see Him! “For God who said, “Let LIGHT shine out of darkness” made his LIGHT shine in our hearts to give us the LIGHT of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ.” (2 Cor.4:6)

Listen again to the 222 song’s refrain…...”There’s a LIGHT………”

We returned home.

I received two unexpected phone calls that afternoon.

One was from an old friend. He was at an all time low point in his life but said he had just received a glimmer of hope. I suggested Robin’s song released that day was God’s word for him and sent him the link. Later that night I got this email,

“You were right. The whole thing speaks to my soul. Thanks for letting me know about it, and if you get the chance, please tell Robin that for me. I’m just sitting here alone listening to it over and over. God is good.”

The second phone call was from a dear brother in New Zealand. As we talked I told him about Hilary’s cataract operation on her right eye and how God had ordered that she receive sight as ‘a son of light’ on the 22nd. Mike chuckled, “Paul, yesterday, which was the 22nd here in New Zealand, I received a letter from my doctor ordering an operation for a cataract on my left eye!”

Hilary’s operations to give her back her sight was made possible by a kind gift from a brother and sister of $10,000.

10 is the Re-establishment of God’s order and 1000 God’s glory.

God is restoring sight so we can see his glory.

To ‘restore’ means to return things not just to the way they were, but ‘to the way they were meant to be.‘ This is God’s “New Normal.”

When Hilary’s left eye which had been operated on 2 weeks ago was tested she had almost 20/20 vision. This has always been her ‘bad eye’ She has never been able to see much out of it before! Now it is as it was always meant to be! Thank you Father! We anticipate the same restoration for the right eye over the next few days!

Two of our children had ‘strabismus’ (squints) in childhood. One in the left and one in the right. We learned that if you do not have both eyes functioning, the brain only sees in two dimensions. When we have both right and left eyes functioning we have depth perception.

This is what God is restoring, ‘sight’ not just physically for Hilary and Mike personally, but spiritually for his ‘body’, and for others all around the globe!

P.S. I mentioned in a P.S. blog on 2/2/22 the 2 emails I received from Lydia in Wales and Tom in Duluth that Twos-day.

I received this subsequent email from Lydia this last Tuesday morning…..2/22/22

Then I recalled a line from a previous email from Tom, “This coming FEB.22 marks the 49th anniversary of the day God called my name in a movie theater in Duluth. The rest is my experience in “HIs Story”.

Tom went on to say, “I am very happy to be linked with Lydia in Wales.”

Lydia has for several years been bedridden with “M.E.”

The number 49 is a Jubilee number.……. The word Jubilee occurs 22 times in scripture.

Can we all agree together with Tom and Lydia that this is a sign that it is now Lydia’s TIME to experience a personal Jubilee?

P.P.S. I have never said this before, but would suggest if you found this blog an encouragement that you pass the encouragement on to others for their En-LIGHT-en-ment!………. Thank You : – )

After posting the last blog which landed us all in Canberra Australia, Father reminded me about my relationship with Canberra. Let me share that story briefly for your encouragement.

The only project I can remember doing at Gilnahirk Primary School was building a model of the Canberra sailing ship out of balsa wood. The only thing I can remember about that, was the teacher’s comment, “Are you not finished yet Kyle?” which is likely why it is the only project I can remember, as I was still sanding away at the ship’s big hull, while others had moved on to their next project!

Like the Titanic, the Canberra was proudly built at Harland and Wolf shipyard in Belfast. It cost 17m. pounds and was named on 17th March 1958 for the federal capital of Australia. It was originally built as one of the last Ocean Liners carrying people between the UK and Australia. For all the hours I spent creating my model I never imagined our St Brendan’s sailing adventure in life…….. that would end up taking us to Canberra, Australia!

We had been invited to share at a conference organized by The Servants of Jesus in Sydney. After making a presentation on repentance, forgiveness and reconciliation, a lady approached me eager to talk. She said her name had also been Kyle.

Her family had been Protestant from Northern Ireland and she had committed the ‘unforgivable sin’ of marrying a Catholic. As a result she said her family disowned her and wanted nothing more to do with her. We had a very tender time of prayer applying what I had just taught on repentance and forgiveness, where I as a representative of the Kyles and the Protestants asked for her forgiveness. It was a beautiful time of healing and reconciliation and the beginning of a friendship that resulted in her inviting our family to visit her family in her home in Canberra.

We had a wonderful time of family fellowship there, the opportunity to share the gospel of reconciliation with hundreds of children at a school, and occasion to climb up to the front door of the Parliament Building, the scene of the drama in the last blog, and sing……..

“Lord Jesus we enthrone you we proclaim you are King…of Australia!”

As this came back to me during the night ….Father drew may attention back to the first name of this lady, whose maiden name had been Kyle…..

It was Carmel.

He said to me that just as I had reported in the blog on a contest in Canberra involving fire (microwave heat weapons being used by the Satanic forces!)….. to remember what happened in the contest on MOUNT CARMEL.

There Elijah’s God proved to be more than a match for the prophets of Baal!

The enemy’s goal has always been to divide and conquer. In this city where we experienced the miracle of God over the years and miles orchestrating a wonderful healing and reconciliation we proved personally that the enemy’s plan to steal, kill and destroy will fail…… and God’s plan through Christ to reconcile all things to himself, will succeed. (Col.1:18.20)

Hallelujah! God wins!

P.P.S. I found the above photo ‘randomly’ on the internet, and knew it confirmed this blog, as our good friend William Millar who reads the blog, also hails and sails out of Belfast : – )

Maori People of New Zealand Perform Haka War Dance in Protest Against Forced Vaccination

Another country Hilary and I have grown to love is New Zealand. It’s Maori name is Aotearoa which means “The land of the long white cloud.”

We were first invited to New Zealand in 2000 by Fred. it was the year 2000, and our 25th wedding anniversary.

I mentioned in the last blog about the importance of protocol. Eccles.8:5.6, says, “…and the wise heart will know the proper time and procedure. For there is a proper time and procedure for every matter.”

Fred is a remarkable man in many ways, not least in that he is a direct descendant of the first white child born in New Zealand at Keri Keri. As such he perfectly represents the ‘pakeha’ (European New Zealander)

When we landed at the airport in Auckland the first thing Fred felt prompted to do was take us to the museum to witness the traditional Maori welcoming ceremony. There were over a hundred people in the room but when they went looking for a representative visitor to welcome, lo and behold, they picked me! Hilary too was invited up to the stage to join with the Maori ladies in their accompanying dance!

We felt both privileged and now prepared, Father having orchestrated the proper protocol for us to enter the country through the appropriate ‘doors’, to now fulfill our assignment.

10 years later in 2010, visiting again on our 35th wedding anniversary, we had been kept busy with people, and so at the end of the trip I said to Hilary, “Why don’t you pick somewhere away from people where we can simply relax.” She ‘stuck a pin on the map.” so as to speak, and we found ourselves in a hotel at ‘The Bay of Islands’.

Our room was on the ground floor with a door leading directly into the grounds, and so I wandered out to explore. Within a few minutes I found myself standing outside a distinctive historic building and reading on a noticeboard about how this was the place where the foundational Treaty of Waitangi had been signed.

At dawn the next morning I again stepped out of our room and walked to the little beach at the end of the freshly mown lawn. As I plunged beneath the water and rose again to the surface the scene in front of my eyes was strikingly familiar. I realized it was the nearest I’d ever seen in ‘real life’ to the painting Colin Davidson had done to illustrate our Good Mornin’ Dad album! As we continued to read, look and listen we came to understand the significance of all this.

That little beach was where the first missionary from Australia had landed. He was known as “The flogging pastor” I suppose that says it all! The man who had come to represent to the indigenous people the “Christian God” was anything but God’s “smiling face.” depicted in the song “Good Mornin’ Dad.”

I said Fred is a remarkable man. Another aspect of this is how he so beautifully expresses the loving, giving, generous nature of God our heavenly Father.”

Hilary and I realized part of God’s plan in issuing the invitation through Fred to bring us to this place at this time was that we might repent on behalf of the church for our failure to truly represent to the people what their loving heavenly Father was really like and to pray for an awakening, that people might see His ‘smiling face’

The Treaty of Waitangi had been revealed to be an example of deceit and theft by the British Crown. (Click on article and links at the top) So on all our visits we knew we had been sent, to acknowledge and to invite the true King of Aoteroa, King Jesus, to come and take his place in this place.

On one occasion we were invited by Les and Barbara from Northern Ireland to visit their church in Marlborough, the famous wine growing region. That Sunday afternoon I remember Les’ eagerness for us to climb to the top of the highest point in the region overlooking the vineyards and sing at the top of our voices, “Lord Jesus We Enthrone You…we proclaim you are King….. of New Zealand.” One of the other tourists, recognizing the song, came over to join us in the proclamation and prayer!

As we sang it again at the church service that evening, a Maori sister had a vision. She said, “I see King Jesus coming……. on a “long white cloud”

It seems that in these days, the spirit of the ‘flogging pastor’ has raised his/her ugly, devilish head once again in Aotearoa!

While the ceremony I participated in on our first visit concluded with a kindly pressing of noses and a loving sharing of breath, welcoming friends, the ‘war haka (peruperu) response to the current tyranny reminds me of Proverbs 30:33″……as twisting the nose produces blood, so stirring up anger produces strife.”

The Hebrew idiom for God being “slow to anger” (Ex.34:6) is he has ‘a long nose’. The flaring of the nostrils marks the beginning of anger that then spreads to be expressed on the whole angry face. We are told God is slow to anger, and when his passion is aroused we know he is never ‘bad tempered’ but his ‘wrath’ is always directed by his essential nature of love.

Yesterday there was a knock on the door. As I opened it our neighbor John burst in, nostrils flaring, and burst out, “Boy is God MAD!!!!” He then described how the evil ‘flogging pastor‘ had just manifested in Australia where the government had used microwave weapons to ‘cook’ their people.

John worked on the farm as a boy and wasn’t able to learn to read, but we have found that as Bob Jones said to Hilary,“You have the same gift I have. – You can smell the devil”

In Australia that is the smell of burning human flesh.

I believe John is right, “God is MAD!!!”

The sign in front of the incensed Maori warriors controlled performance of the ‘war haka’ reads……. “JUSTICE”.

The time has indeed come for the arrogant ‘kings of the earth’ to bow to “the King and Judge of ALL the earth” as Bablyon crumbles, and the King and the Kingdom of God comes….. on earth as it is in heaven!

I realize now the meaning of this number plate that has been in our driveway for a number of years…..

¹ The Lord is a God who avenges.
    O God who avenges, shine forth.
² Rise up, Judge of the earth;
    pay back to the proud what they deserve.
³ How long, Lord, will the wicked,
    how long will the wicked be jubilant?

⁴ They pour out arrogant words;
    all the evildoers are full of boasting.
⁵ They crush your people, Lord;
    they oppress your inheritance.
⁶ They slay the widow and the foreigner;
    they murder the fatherless.
⁷ They say, “The Lord does not see;
    the God of Jacob takes no notice.”

⁸ Take notice, you senseless ones among the people;
    you fools, when will you become wise?
⁹ Does he who fashioned the ear not hear?
    Does he who formed the eye not see?
¹⁰ Does he who disciplines nations not punish?
    Does he who teaches mankind lack knowledge?
¹¹ The Lord knows all human plans;
    he knows that they are futile.

¹² Blessed is the one you discipline, Lord,
    the one you teach from your law;
¹³ you grant them relief from days of trouble,
    till a pit is dug for the wicked.
¹⁴ For the Lord will not reject his people;
    he will never forsake his inheritance.
¹⁵ Judgment will again be founded on righteousness,
    and all the upright in heart will follow it.

¹⁶ Who will rise up for me against the wicked?
    Who will take a stand for me against evildoers?
¹⁷ Unless the Lord had given me help,
    I would soon have dwelt in the silence of death.
¹⁸ When I said, “My foot is slipping,”
    your unfailing love, Lord, supported me.
¹⁹ When anxiety was great within me,
    your consolation brought me joy.

²⁰ Can a corrupt throne be allied with you—
    a throne that brings on misery by its decrees?
²¹ The wicked band together against the righteous
    and condemn the innocent to death.
²² But the Lord has become my fortress,
    and my God the rock in whom I take refuge.
²³ He will repay them for their sins
    and destroy them for their wickedness;
    the Lord our God will destroy them.

Even so…… Come quickly Lord Jesus!

P.S. I appreciated the feedback from my Canadian readers after the last blog, including the correction that St. John’s is in Newfoundland, and it is St. John in New Brunswick (Thank you Steve and Paula!)

I would love to get feedback (and more correction) from our dear friends in New Zealand and Australia who read the blog. Our love and prayers go out to you all ‘Down Under’ at this time, that you will all soon be “Up and Over”
