Refreshment, Repentance & the Kingdom
REFRESHMENT, REPENTANCE & THE KINGDOM
IAN JOHNSON ianjohn@xtra.co.nz
Acts 3:19-20
Now turn from your sins and turn to God, so you can be cleansed of your sins. Then wonderful times of refreshment will come from the presence of the Lord, and he will send Jesus your Messiah to you again.
In context this scripture was preached by Peter just after the healing of the man who had been sitting at the gate beautiful for many years, then the miracle occurred he was raised off his bed after 40 years. Peter then said this man was healed by Jesus, you remember him! He’s the one you rejected and sent to the cross, but God has raised this man from his bed before your very eyes in the name of Jesus.
Therefore repent and turn to God!
What was required was a total mindset change, then once the mindset changed a definite decision needed to be made to walk in the opposite way in a whole new belief system. Then as a result of this change of lifestyle and thinking; came times of refreshing.
Repentance is more than saying sorry
This is my definition: “Repentance is the total replacement of one kingdom and its ways in our lives, with another kingdom and its ways. It is walking out of the kingdom of darkness into the Kingdom of light. It sees a transformation bigger than turning the light on in a pitch black room.” Light displaces darkness when the light is aloud to shine.
Luke said in Acts 3; As a result of this kind of transformation God will send Jesus literally into your midst. Now that’s transformation and that’s what we call revival.
If I get into my car and I drive from Manukau to Mangere (two suburbs of Auckland) I have changed my position, maybe even changed my view but I still remain in the same city and the same nation. But if I get on a plane and fly to Fiji I have not only changed my view I have changed kingdoms. The way I live will be different; the rules of the kingdom will be different, the authority structure will be different.
So to move into transforming glory I need to change kingdoms. Now to change kingdoms I have to walk in the way of the King of the kingdom I am transferring to. In the case of this scripture in Acts 3 the need for repentance was the need to see that Jesus is alive and heals the sick. These people didn’t have a problem believing in God, their problem was seeing a living God; and walking as if the God they believed in was in fact alive.
AGREEING WITH GOD DIVIDES THE ENEMIES KINGDOM
If we want to see revival we need to change kingdoms totally. The Kingdom of God is yes and amen. So when we agree with the Holy Spirit concerning His power, or His love, or His justice, or His glory, or His holiness, or His delivering power we divide the kingdom of the enemy in our life or the life of those we minister to. Jesus said in Mark 3:23 if a kingdom be divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand.
When God delivers he removes one kingdom and replaces it with another Kingdom. For instances when he set Adam out of the Garden he went from being sub-ruler of a kingdom to being subject to the worlds kingdom. When Israel left Egypt they went from Pharaohs kingdom into Gods Kingdom.
When Jesus came he didn’t say come join my Church; He said “The Kingdom of God is at hand” its decision time.
Even an unswerving devotion to a nation or a leadership is Idolatry because Jesus said “You are in the world but not of the world”
Psalm 45: Listen to me, O royal daughter; take to heart what I say. Forget your people and your homeland far away. For your royal husband delights in your beauty; Honour him, for he is your lord.
Forget your Old culture and your own people; you now belong to the King and to His Kingdom. First and foremost in our life is the King and His kingdom. I am no longer a New Zealander first! I am a Child of the Kingdom of Heaven first
So the freedom of the Kingdom of God we desire; has a direct relationship spiritually with how much we have released the kingdom we come from. True repentance releases the old kingdom to the point where the new kingdom overwhelms the old.
That doesn’t mean we become religious and plastic in our holiness, it means we abandon ourselves to the purpose of God. If the purpose of God is for you to put a coat of fur on and eat locusts and wild honey then that’s what abandonment to the kingdom looks like for you. If on the other hand God has called you to be president of your country then to be president is abandonment for you.
Where repentance preaching has got it wrong in the past is; it has placed a demand that we become religious. God calls us to repent from the kingdom of self and turn the key of our old kingdom totally over to the King of kings.
True repentance or deliverance comes as we abandon our lives to Him.
In India I prayed for a young woman who had known success. She was a university graduate, but grief had overtaken her when someone close had died, she was unable to release it to the Lord. The Kingdom of grief in her life became ruler, over time she became possessed by Demonic Spirits. After all she was abandoned to their Kingdom. When I first met her she could not talk but only grunt and growl like a wild animal. Her family had brought her 25km by tractor to receive healing at a meeting I was speaking at. She was brought to the front of the Church and the demons began to shout “Even if 100 Pastors pray we will not leave” Well they did leave, In the name of Jesus, the last one going with a scream. Because I released a greater Kingdom, in her heart, she received that Kingdom even though she couldn’t speak. And the word of Jesus in Mark 3:23 if a kingdom be divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand. Was seen and witnessed by all in that Church. The Kingdom of God was seen and declared through her deliverance.
She was a little afraid and very weak after the event, but restored to her right mind. You can imagine my interest when returning this year as to how she was. The Pastor said “she is totally well and has just got married”. Jesus now holds her heart totally! All the riches in the world’s kingdoms wouldn’t satisfy her. She is committed in Love to Him. Jesus has her heart totally one kingdom has displaced another. Is she now walking around in a judgemental holier than thou manner? Of course not, she is very humble and acknowledges a greater King. His name is Jesus, She is abandoned to Jesus and the sweetness of that abandoned life touches countless others. That one deliverance has seen countless others delivered because her repentance consisted of one kingdom invading another, not just a few words from the four spiritual laws.
Calvin Miller puts it well when he says “Those who will not praise Him, may bypass the Christ of the inner altar, and know only the Christ of the Theologians.”
Christianity is not a religion; we hear it so often from a myriad of pulpits but we don’t understand it unless we see that what is required is not a set of rules but an abandoned heart to the King, and an abandoned attitude to our role in his kingdom. Your role may be very different from my role, I am not responsible to walk your road nor are you responsible to walk mine, but we had better find out which road we are meant to be on.
Psalm 84:1-2 how lovely is your dwelling place, O Lord Almighty. I long, yes, I faint with longing to enter the courts of the Lord. With my whole being, body and soul, I will shout joyfully to the living God.
You see this sort of abandonment is not satisfied with anything less than the courts of the King to whom we have abandoned ourselves. That sort of abandonment is never going to be satisfied with a set of rules or steps to peace with God. Rather that heart will break down every barrier and wall to enter the courts of her king. That is true repentance.
A heart that has come to this level of abandoned true repentance will be overwhelmed with joy. Then wonderful times of refreshment will come from the presence of the Lord.
O the deep deep love of Jesus, vast unmeasured, boundless free. Rolling as a mighty ocean in its fullness over me; underneath me, all around me, is the current of thy love; leading onward, leading homeward, to my glorious rest above. ~Samuel T Francis.

The Financial Crisis ~What do you think
On the eve of Rosh hashanah this year the USA banking system and stock market were in a spin. On that day the US senate rejected a 700 Billion dollar bailout which created a run on the stock market, the Dow falling 777.7 points at close. equating to a 7% fall. This was the beginning of Rosh hashanah. the days of Awe had begun.
As someone who travels to minister in the third world I have seen the difference between the Church in the west and its third world counterparts. When tragedy strikes the West is always looking to take up an offering to cover the shortfall. The Church in the third world cries out to God because they have no other options.
How rich the Church in the third world is. They know their daddy, they know that He provides and He carries them through.
In this time of crisis. push into your Daddy.
Its time for intimacy with Him not our bank account.
Things may never be the same again until Jesus comes. Because we are entering as time of Harvest when both the wheat and the Tares will be harvested together.
Its going to be both glorious and terrifying. not since the days of the Apostles and Church fathers has there been a battle like this one. But I have read the back of the book and it says we win. We must listen to our commander in chief Jesus like never before. In a time of war soldiers are always on alert and always ready to act on a moments notice. The army of God needs this kind of obedience in the face of the crisis that's only just begun.
Don't be afraid but don't be complacent.
What do you think?
How about posting your replies.

Praise That Opens Heaven
If our thinking is not stretched beyond this world then praise will become something of a chore
Because all we will see are things which have been seen before. The Lord calls us to stretch our vision into heaven; into the place where he dwells and his glory fills the atmosphere. Many things are yet to be revealed, because there is no end to the majesty of our God.
We know that the Angels were created before the earth because in the book of Job it says they looked in on the day of creation with wonder and rejoiced. So that tells me that the Angels have been around more than 6000 years.
In Revelation 4 it describes the actions of the 24 Elders and 4 living creatures around the throne. Whenever the four creatures give glory & honour and thanks to Him who sits on the throne; The 24 Elders see something new and fresh in God and fall down afresh and cast off their crowns before him.
So for more than 6000 years this has been going on in heaven; much longer I would suspect
And because God is so big and so unfathomable this will go on forever; there will always be something new to see in God; something amazing, something beyond our current understanding.
Many sermons focus on the "Now", teaching us how to be successful in this life; but seldom draw our attention to the place of His throne. So the Church is loosing its ability to inspire praise.
The world is not interested because there is no reflection of an eternal realm. The truth is that the role of the Church is really to usher the saints into a heavenly view; but in recent times we have become stuck in earth bound theology, and programs that fill our earthly senses.
A heart that has been confronted by the glory of heaven, seen the riches of his grace and heard the voice of Angels in abandoned worship; Itself has to break forth in rapturous worship.
Because like the 24 Elders we become undone when we see Him.
Therese of Lisieux said: Worship for me is simply a raising of the heart, a simple glance toward heaven, an expression of love and gratitude in times of trial as well as in times of joy; it is a supernatural expanding of my soul and an awakening of my Spirit.
So in lifting our eyes to the realities of heaven and of His throne, our worship is not food for God but it is food for us; our spirit is enlightened and enlarged; like the 24 Elders we are undone in his gaze.
Heaven is our true home and the King of heaven is our true reward; so it stands to reason that if we only see things done on earth from an earthly perspective our praise will have an earthly sound. But Jesus said "As it is in Heaven; So shall it be on earth." So as we see Him in all His glory our praise will take on a heavenly sound.
This is the sound of a supernatural Church; as the Holy Spirit draws us again to the upper room to the place where our attention is drawn to the realm of glory by signs and the sounds of saints who see heaven; Church again fulfils her role of leading men to the gate of Eden, to the portals of glory so they too can catch a glimpse of his majesty and also become undone.
So the Lords heart is that you stretch your thinking beyond the earth and into His Glory.
Col 3:1-2 Since you have been raised to new life with Christ, set your sights on the realities of Heaven, where Christ sits at Gods right hand in the place of honour and power. Let heaven fill your thoughts. Do not think only of things down here on earth.
The blessed life is his gift, We cannot earn it, we cannot climb up to it, we cannot win it, we can do nothing but ask for it and receive it by faith. It is the gift of God in Christ Jesus. and where a thing is a gift, the only course left for the receiver is to take it and thank the giver.
Hannah Whitall Smith
To see heaven is not to strive but to rest in his gift, Just as Adam saw the gateway into Eden blocked by his action. So by the action of Jesus the gateway is again open for us.
Take some time to stop and to rest in His works; as you do you will see Him and fall face down like the 24 Elders have been doing for thousands of years.

THERE IS A WELL SPRINGING UP IN THE ENDS OF THE EARTH.
Ian Johnson ~ ianjohn@xtra.co.nz
TRANSFORMATION IS AT HAND
There is something new and fresh bubbling up from the land of New Zealand. Its unique and it will impact the nations. The move will raise thousands of no-names into a tidal wave of glory that will shake the walls of Jerusalem. The earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord as men, woman & Children are propelled into the harvest thrust out from wells under the land.
The name of the Lord will exalted and strong men will bow down in his presence. Bells are calling sons & daughters home into the heart of God. The tent is being moved the cords are being stretched, its the Lord! The pain of the past years is about to be healed. Preparation is over. Transformation is at hand. Angels are in place, significant shifts have occurred. The ends of the earth are receiving their visitation.
VISION OF WELLS.
I had a vision of a huge wave coming onto the shores of New Zealand. It was coming from Lakeland; the wave hit the shores and had a big impact on the nation, but did not return out again.
Then I saw a well bubbling up under the Islands of New Zealand, every Island and every place in the land. The well came forth with such force that there was a huge wave came off the land and rolled out like a tsunami into the nations, it returned and then went out again. Several times it rolled in and out. The more the wave rolled out the more the well produced.
MESSAGE FOR LEADERS
The message from the Lord. Don't hold it back, send it out into the nations,, release the revivalists and evangelists, release the Prophets and the Teachers, release the Apostles and the psalmists, the more you send out the more the wells will produce.
THE ENDS OF THE EARTH
The Jerusalem revival Of Acts 2 & Acts 4. started Something there in Jerusalem around 33AD. It has been spreading out across the earth for almost 2000 years as ripples span out from a stone dropped into the calm pond in ever widening circles,The revival of 33AD has been fanning out from Jerusalem taking entire nations in its path. This path of national revival has not yet totally been seen in New Zealand. We didn’t receive the gospel in our shores until 1814, and to all intent and purpose we have never seen national revival in this land. Geographically,the Islands of New Zealand are as far away from Jerusalem as you can get. Making NZ, the ends of the Earth.
ITS A TRIGGER NATION
When the wells spring up from the land it will signal the return of the gospel from the ends of the earth back to Jerusalem.The devil hates New Zealand for that reason; revival here in this land will release the gospel back from the ends of the earth not in the anointing of Elijah but in the anointing of Elisha! Double portion anointing. New Zealand holds a key to the double portion glory in the earth. Don't loose focus but keep your eyes on Jesus, listen to what the Father is saying and do it. no more no less. Don't waste time running around in circles, listen to the Father.
SPRING UP OH WELL
Intercessors pray for the well to spring up. Command the land to yield her fruit. This is the hour when the ends of the Earth arise into the purpose of God.
Observe the harvest; say not that there are yet three months and then comes harvest. Jesus is saying "The harvest is white and ripe, pray for labourers.
Spring up Oh well

TRANSFORMATION IS AT HAND
There is something new and fresh bubbling up from the land of New Zealand. Its unique and it will impact the nations. The move will raise thousands of no-names into a tidal wave of glory that will shake the walls of Jerusalem. The earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord as men, woman & Children are propelled into the harvest thrust out from wells under the land.
The name of the Lord will exalted and strong men will bow down in his presence. Bells are calling sons & daughters home into the heart of God. The tent is being moved the cords are being stretched, its the Lord! The pain of the past years is about to be healed. Preparation is over. Transformation is at hand. Angels are in place, significant shifts have occurred. The ends of the earth are receiving their visitation.
VISION OF WELLS.
I had a vision of a huge wave coming onto the shores of New Zealand. It was coming from Lakeland; the wave hit the shores and had a big impact on the nation, but did not return out again.
Then I saw a well bubbling up under the Islands of New Zealand, every Island and every place in the land. The well came forth with such force that there was a huge wave came off the land and rolled out like a tsunami into the nations, it returned and then went out again. Several times it rolled in and out. The more the wave rolled out the more the well produced.
MESSAGE FOR LEADERS
The message from the Lord. Don't hold it back, send it out into the nations,, release the revivalists and evangelists, release the Prophets and the Teachers, release the Apostles and the psalmists, the more you send out the more the wells will produce.
THE ENDS OF THE EARTH
The Jerusalem revival Of Acts 2 & Acts 4. started Something there in Jerusalem around 33AD. It has been spreading out across the earth for almost 2000 years as ripples span out from a stone dropped into the calm pond in ever widening circles,The revival of 33AD has been fanning out from Jerusalem taking entire nations in its path. This path of national revival has not yet totally been seen in New Zealand. We didn’t receive the gospel in our shores until 1814, and to all intent and purpose we have never seen national revival in this land. Geographically,the Islands of New Zealand are as far away from Jerusalem as you can get. Making NZ, the ends of the Earth.
ITS A TRIGGER NATION
When the wells spring up from the land it will signal the return of the gospel from the ends of the earth back to Jerusalem.The devil hates New Zealand for that reason; revival here in this land will release the gospel back from the ends of the earth not in the anointing of Elijah but in the anointing of Elisha! Double portion anointing. New Zealand holds a key to the double portion glory in the earth. Don't loose focus but keep your eyes on Jesus, listen to what the Father is saying and do it. no more no less. Don't waste time running around in circles, listen to the Father.
SPRING UP OH WELL
Intercessors pray for the well to spring up. Command the land to yield her fruit. This is the hour when the ends of the Earth arise into the purpose of God.
Observe the harvest; say not that there are yet three months and then comes harvest. Jesus is saying "The harvest is white and ripe, pray for labourers.
Spring up Oh well

HEALING BEING REALESED NOW
HEALING BEING RELEASED NOW:
Ian Johnson www.papelim.org.nz ianjohn@xtra.co.nz
Greetings:
I have been stirred by the Lord to send out this e-mail, because its "TIME"
Yes New Zealand can expect to see a move of Healing, The Lord is on the move, lets catch the wave. Because there is a wave of healing flowing across the Earth right now, miracles never before seen will take place. A fresh wave has broken out in Lakeland Florida where meetings with Todd Bentley from Fresh Fire ministries are being held.
Todd sent out an e-mail today with Quotes from Bob Jones>>>>>>
Todd Bentley says: I just spoke with Bob Jones again and he told me several things. First, he was not expecting that the glory would fall this soon. Second, Bob said the angel, “winds of change,” is bringing the change NOW, and that this outpouring would break out internationally. He said this outpouring, the very tangible healing anointing, is for the world and would go everywhere. Third, Bob said, and I agree, we have never seen such notable miracles. [Distinctively, scars and burn marks have been removed from bodies, and there are testimonies coming in of cancers, tumours, deaf ears, diabetes, lupus, autism, and a vast array of other sicknesses and diseases, all being healed. I’m talking hundreds of healings so far! There are dramatic salvations, and heavenly visitations especially coming to the children.]
Bob Jones said in the quote "this outpouring would break out internationally"

SOUNDS OF REVIVAL IN THE ENDS OF THE EARTH
Ian Johnson ianjohn@xtra.co.nz
On 14th March we arrived in Alexandra in the Central Otago area of the South Island of New Zealand. Our first meeting was with the leaders of a small Church with a big heart. Alexandra Elim Church. Wow from the first moment we arrived the Angelic activity started. There were powerful manifestations of the Spirit as we prayed for each leader. I kept finding myself saying of Alexandra that it was a city, even though the population of the place was less than 5000. When I questioned the Lord he said look at the hills and observe. The place was totally surrounded by Angelic hosts, I began to understand that the term city referred to its Spiritual population and understood the amazing purpose that Alexandra has in the release of revival in the Southlands.
In July 2006 I had seen in the Spirit a cloud of Glory rolling out of the mountains and into Christchurch the principle city of the South Island of NZ. I now realised where this cloud was coming from. Central Otago. A place of extremes, It often records the highest summer temperatures and the lowest winter temperatures in NZ. The hills and rivers are full of Gold and the mountains stand as testimony to the greatness of God. These are the mountains that inspired the Hillsong classic "Shout to the Lord"
Over the next few days we had four very powerful meetings. I spoke mostly on mindsets that hinder revival, and also about our spiritual inheritance in Christ. People began to see in the Spirit and there was an amazing release of the Angelic. There was a Blower of the Shophar in the meeting and on the Saturday night I felt to get him to blow every time it was time to move up another level. A sense of the manifest presence of God was felt in all the meetings and a new level of expectation and faith for the supernatural was released. Every night after the meetings the sky put on an amazing display with Golden and silver cloud formations that were very unusual, people who weren't in the meetings were commenting on them in the town. We were seeing signs in the sky of a fresh move of the Holy Spirit.
A personal highlight for me was the testimony of two Israeli girls who had come into contact with a woman in the meetings. Because New Zealand is geographically as far away from Jerusalem as you can get the testimony below impacted me greatly. before you read their testimony read the following link. http://www.papelim.org.nz/page11.html
The two young Israeli woman had been given a new testament on their journey around NZ and had been reading it. In an Invercargill cafe (Invercargill is the most southern city from Jerusalem) A waiter approached them and said "greetings daughters of Israel, everything you have been reading in that little book is the truth. The one you have been reading of is your messiah. He went on to share other things and again confirmed Yeshua as the truth" then he just vanished. The young woman made a decision to follow Yeshua and next evening headed for Queenstown. they drove through Alexandra and a voice spoke to them and said you must stay in Alexandra tonight, they turned back and stayed with the woman who came to the meetings and shared their new found faith in messiah.
The significance is, The Lord spoke to me in 2004 and commissioned us to proclaim revival in the ends of the earth, that this revival would in turn trigger a revival in Israel.
The Lord used this testimony to confirm his word to us. How I have been praising the Lord for this Church in Alexandra who gave us the opportunity to proclaim revival and glory in the ends of the earth. I await reports of a continuing glory in Alexandra.
We went on to Queenstown and had a meeting with a couple who Pastor a Church in that town. We were able to encourage and pray with them it was a blessing to us to be used in this way.
We travelled on to Christchurch for meetings on the Sunday at Beulah Christian fellowship. This was a real privilege for us. This Church is Pastored by Dennis & Barbara Barton who had been my mother in laws Pastor in the late 60's. I felt so at home in this Church, and I have fallen completely in love with it and wish I was part of it. I look forward to hearing much more in the near future.
When the Barton's moved to Christchurch in 1970 they saw a major move of God. Described in the book Pentecost at the ends of the Earth as follows. "Hundreds of hippies were remarkably saved and filled with the holy spirit in this church in a very short space of time. It was the most significant visitation in NZ since the WIgglesworth meetings in Wellington in 1922" .
They are hungry again for a fresh move and the Lord moved powerfully in our meetings. Pastor Dennis said he got much more than he expected. People received visitation at a very high level, some were carried into the heavenly realm. On the Sunday night I found myself speaking prophetically. The Lord had said to me when I was carried in the Spirit over Christchurch in 2006 and shown the cloud of glory rolling in from the mountains, that the Church that invited us in to the city would be the one that would see the revival begin in Christchurch. I have waited until now for an opportunity to minister in this city. The way the invitation happened was sovereign as well. A member of our e-mail list had been asking Pastor Dennis to have us in for several months, Pastor Dennis agreed it would be a good idea and when he discovered we were in the South Island he extended a very gracious invitation for us to minister.
I am confident that this Church is about to be visited again only in a much greater measure than it was in the 70's. There was more Angelic activity in this Church than I have ever experienced. I had seen and felt literally hundreds of Angels in this place and I was very excited when a 10 year old girl came up to me after the meeting to tell me that the Lord had opened her eyes and she had also seen hundreds of Angels come into the meeting as I declared an open heaven and called Angels of revival and in they came. She also saw my ministering Angel touch people on the head as I declared revival. Another woman shared with me that she had seen Jesus on the platform the whole Sunday morning meeting. It seems Christchurch is about to be visited again.
I have come back to Auckland filled with wonder and delight at the greatness of our Lord Jesus. and see with fresh eyes revival in the ends of the Earth.

A sense of the manifest presence of God was felt in all the meetings and a new level of expectation and faith for the supernatural was released. Every night after the meetings the sky put on an amazing display with Golden and silver cloud formations that were very unusual, people who weren't in the meetings were commenting on them in the town. We were seeing signs in the sky of a fresh move of the Holy Spirit.
A personal highlight for me was the testimony of two Israeli girls who had come into contact with a woman in the meetings. Because New Zealand is geographically as far away from Jerusalem as you can get the testimony below impacted me greatly. before you read their testimony read the following link. http://www.papelim.org.nz/page11.html
The two young Israeli woman had been given a new testament on their journey around NZ and had been reading it. In an Invercargill cafe (Invercargill is the most southern city from Jerusalem) A waiter approached them and said "greetings daughters of Israel, everything you have been reading in that little book is the truth. The one you have been reading of is your messiah. He went on to share other things and again confirmed Yeshua as the truth" then he just vanished. The young woman made a decision to follow Yeshua and next evening headed for Queenstown. they drove through Alexandra and a voice spoke to them and said you must stay in Alexandra tonight, they turned back and stayed with the woman who came to the meetings and shared their new found faith in messiah.
The significance is, The Lord spoke to me in 2004 and commissioned us to proclaim revival in the ends of the earth, that this revival would in turn trigger a revival in Israel.
The Lord used this testimony to confirm his word to us. How I have been praising the Lord for this Church in Alexandra who gave us the opportunity to proclaim revival and glory in the ends of the earth. I await reports of a continuing glory in Alexandra.
We went on to Queenstown and had a meeting with a couple who Pastor a Church in that town. We were able to encourage and pray with them it was a blessing to us to be used in this way.
We travelled on to Christchurch for meetings on the Sunday at Beulah Christian fellowship. This was a real privilege for us. This Church is Pastored by Dennis & Barbara Barton who had been my mother in laws Pastor in the late 60's. I felt so at home in this Church, and I have fallen completely in love with it and wish I was part of it. I look forward to hearing much more in the near future.
When the Barton's moved to Christchurch in 1970 they saw a major move of God. Described in the book Pentecost at the ends of the Earth as follows. "Hundreds of hippies were remarkably saved and filled with the holy spirit in this church in a very short space of time. It was the most significant visitation in NZ since the WIgglesworth meetings in Wellington in 1922" .
They are hungry again for a fresh move and the Lord moved powerfully in our meetings. Pastor Dennis said he got much more than he expected. People received visitation at a very high level, some were carried into the heavenly realm. On the Sunday night I found myself speaking prophetically. The Lord had said to me when I was carried in the Spirit over Christchurch in 2006 and shown the cloud of glory rolling in from the mountains, that the Church that invited us in to the city would be the one that would see the revival begin in Christchurch. I have waited until now for an opportunity to minister in this city. The way the invitation happened was sovereign as well. A member of our e-mail list had been asking Pastor Dennis to have us in for several months, Pastor Dennis agreed it would be a good idea and when he discovered we were in the South Island he extended a very gracious invitation for us to minister.
I am confident that this Church is about to be visited again only in a much greater measure than it was in the 70's. There was more Angelic activity in this Church than I have ever experienced. I had seen and felt literally hundreds of Angels in this place and I was very excited when a 10 year old girl came up to me after the meeting to tell me that the Lord had opened her eyes and she had also seen hundreds of Angels come into the meeting as I declared an open heaven and called Angels of revival and in they came. She also saw my ministering Angel touch people on the head as I declared revival. Another woman shared with me that she had seen Jesus on the platform the whole Sunday morning meeting. It seems Christchurch is about to be visited again.
I have come back to Auckland filled with wonder and delight at the greatness of our Lord Jesus. and see with fresh eyes revival in the ends of the Earth.

Chariots, laughter and Angels
By Ian Johnson www.papelim.org.nz
While in a meeting at which Kathie Walters was ministering in Auckland New Zealand, I found myself in the Spirit, I was invited by an angel to go with him in a Chariot to see the way that the Lord uses Angels to perform his will in meetings and in the lives of people.
The Angel said "Do you understand how the power of faith and how a faith response brings blessings?’" You need to see how it works, he said! And we went in the Chariot to western Papua in Indonesia. A man of God was speaking and there was a great deal of demonic interference and blocking of the purpose of God.
The Angel motioned me to stand on a rocky outcrop overlooking the meeting. At that moment in the meeting in Auckland a lady fell off her chair and began to laugh for no particular reason. soon she was laughing uncontrollably and I was aware of it in the back ground. The very moment she began to laugh perhaps 20 or more Angels appeared in Western Papua obviously under instruction and began to remove the demonic opposition, People in the meeting began to come free and hear the word of God, it was amazing!
The Angel said to me, The living word says, God laughs at his enemies! and when his people hear this laugh and join in it releases us to bring derision in the enemies camp! (Psalm 37:12-13)
I said but the laughter is in New Zealand and we are in Indonesia. The Angel said "there is no time or space in the Spirit, you need to understand this! Then you will also understand why it is important to be free to express what the Father asks you to express, & speak what you hear the Father saying even if it doesn’t seem relevant to you! Because the Father is looking for those who will do and say what he asks, regardless of how foolish it seems, there is always a purpose!
Laughter in the Spirit is only an eco of the laughter from the father in heaven. It is a weapon against the plans of the enemy and we must not despise it. For those who think its a new thing in the earth, my 93 year old mother in law says, "Oh we had holy laughter in our tarry meetings in Wellington in the 20's & 30's, every one knew it was God because some of those old Pentecostals were very serious people you know!"
I came back to the meeting in Auckland with an excitement, knowing that obedience released in our meeting had touched a group of believers several thousand miles away. How amazing the ways of God are! We are just scratching the surface and there is so much more that we need to understand about the way God uses Angels.
There was more instruction to come, the Angel took me again in the chariot to show me more of what happens in the spirit realm because of our response.
As I entered the Chariot I instantly found myself in the Fiji Islands in a place between Nandi & Singatoka. The Angel instructed me to observe a meeting being led by a Fijian friend of mine. There were many people in attendance in an open air situation. The Angel said watch closely now, My friend spoke the word of God and there was a positive response from a couple of men in the crowd, As these men responded so did the Angels. Each response to the word, which were things like a loud hallelujah or a shout of affirmation, or a clap triggered an Angelic response, which removed demonic obstacles hindering some of the men. The Angels also took men by the shoulders and moved them forward or to one side, the aim of this was to get them lined up with an outpouring coming down from heaven, The men seemed unaware of the angelic help but knew that they had come under an outpouring from Heaven. Each time someone received a touch like this it lifted their faith level and brought more response, which brought more Angelic activity.
I began to understand the importance of a faith response to the word of God. Romans 10 "Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God" In New Zealand and to an extent Australia people are not as responsive to the word in verbal or animated fashion as other places, It is important to verbalise and to exhibit a response to the preaching of the word, because I saw that it released the Angelic. The preacher was doing his bit by speaking the word, and the people were doing their bit by releasing a faith response.
I trust that this short exhortation will inspire you to a faith response that will bring a release of the Angelic and lift your faith again and again. Until revival fills your life.
I have heard from Fiji by way of confirmation, that my friend, was as I had seen in the Spirit having a meeting as described. He said that they had an amazing move of the Spirit in that particular meeting. Many were delivered in the meeting, many were healed, and there were many salvations. My friend was very excited to hear the testimony and was aware of unusual Angelic activity in the meeting, because of the unusual miracles and events that occurred, The testimony confirmed it. Be prepared to step out of the ordinary and the formal and allow the spirit to lead you.
I now have a better understanding of what occurs when Gods people, praise, and shout and respond in faith language to the preaching of the word, or to high levels of worship, even if we are stuck in a small corner of the world, we can change it with our faith response.
As Kathie Walters says, "The realm of the Spirit, the supernatural realm, the angels and heavenly visitations are meant to be a normal part of your life - most people are robbed because of religious mindsets.
I recommend you buy her books living in the Supernatural & Angels - Watching Over You available from her website http://www.goodnews.netministries.org/store/books.html My book Glory to Glory "A journey of intimacy & worship" will also give you some insights into your actions and Gods reaction to you.

Scrolls being released NOW
In a recent heavenly encounter, I was in an auditorium and I witnessed a commissioning, a sending forth of Angelic messengers, each were given scrolls to deliver into the Earth. The scrolls contained A greater release of blessing concerning Jesus, His beauty, and His Glory. The Scrolls were different colours I got an understanding that this represented different aspects of the nature and heart of Jesus.
These are messages that will cause all who eat them to fall deeply in love with Jesus. The Angels were being released into the Earth through portals or doors the saints had created in intercession and worship.
The scrolls were for regions rather than individuals but as individuals in the regions ate the scrolls it was like they became contagious and the release of Glory & Love for Jesus spread. The pattern for end time harvest is being delivered to earth in scrolls, for those who choose to read them! These scrolls contain a release of Glory. The words are like sweet honey to the soul of hungry men. These are not new revelations; indeed, they are the truth of heaven being plainly seen in the earth!
And the truth of heaven is; Jesus the fullness of God revealed!
Get ready Get ready
Hungry souls on earth will feed on this Glory released!
A glory found in heaven and being released on EARTH in this season
The hosts of heaven are stepping up the pace. A preparation of the bride has begun, an anticipation of a coming wedding and excitement over the celebration made the atmosphere where the scrolls are to be delivered electric.
The Lord says: Its time to move under places where portals of glory have openedOr are about to open! From these pockets will come a transforming glory, like refuelling stations. Be careful not to try and own this Glory, For God will not share His Glory! But for those who seek His Glory an evening under the portal Will empower you for weeks in the harvest
Get ready Get ready!
The Giants are stirring The Glory harvesters are about to hit the fields!
Head for the refuelling stations! Cast aside religion
Enter the truth of heaven Jesus the fullness of God revealed!
Colossians 2:2-3
My goal is that they will be encouraged and knit together by strong ties of love. I want them to have full confidence because they have complete understanding of God’s secret plan, which is Christ himself. In him lie hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.
Jesus knows all things. Thus his disciples said, truly, "Now we know that You know all things, and have no need for anyone to question You; by this we believe that You came from God" (John 16:30).
What is this knowledge? it is that Jesus knows the Father perfectly. We know God partially and imperfectly. Jesus knows him like no other being knows him or could know him. He knows him the way an omniscient Person knows himself.
"All things have been handed over to Me by My Father; and no one knows the Son except the Father; nor does anyone know the Father except the Son, and anyone to whom the Son wills to reveal Him" (Matthew 11:27). No one but Jesus knows the Father completely and perfectly. Our knowledge of Jesus depends wholly on the fathers’ grace.
His Grace has been released into the Earth. (We see it in Jesus) by releasing the scrolls into the Earth he is releasing an end time grace. A grace that will bring a glory harvest. A grace that will make Jesus known in all the earth. Jesus is the Glory of Heaven, he is the exact reflection of the Father. To see Jesus is to see the Glory of heaven released into the Earth.
We see Jesus as Gentle saviour meek & mild. And yes He is our saviour, he is all of these things. But He is also the fullness of God, The seven fold Spirit of the Living God is found in Him! So when we put our faith in Him, it’s not just for a partial salvation to make us feel good. It’s a total God transformation in our lives. Its a release of the glory of heaven.
Eat the scrolls and push past the ordinary. John the disciple who leant on the breast of Jesus and was one of the three who were closest to Jesus on Earth didn't even recognise him when he was caught up into his heavenly revelation such was the glory revealed in him in heaven. The desire of the Father in this hour is for Earth to see the same overwhelming glory John saw. Such an honour and privilege to come before His throne of grace in loving acceptance! He is no longer a distant God, but a Father and the King of Glory
Romans 5:2 says“Through [Jesus Christ] we [also] have access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.”
The Hope of Glory released is the fullness of God revealed in Jesus! All wisdom & Knowledge are found in Him! This hope of Glory is an absolute certainty! It is a “definitely“! As the New Living Translation of the same verse puts it: “We confidently and joyfully look forward to sharing God’s glory”.
The measure of this grace is about to be released as the scrolls enter your cities and your nations. The call is going out as we eco the words of Psalm 24:7-10: lift up your heads, O you gates! And be lifted up, you everlasting doors! And the King of glory shall come in. Who is this King of glory? The Lord strong and mighty, The Lord mighty in battle. Lift up your heads, O you gates! Lift up, you everlasting doors! And the King of glory shall come in. Who is this King of glory? The Lord of hosts, He is the King of glory.
The Angelic is being released to assist us to shout “Prepare ye the way of the Lord” “open the gates, swing wide the doors” That the King of glory may come in. who is this King of glory? Jesus strong and mighty.

Mindsets that hinder Revival
What does Revival look like? Many are seeking revival; they pray for it, they go to conferences to hear about it, many have gone into places where revival has broken out to receive an impartation. They have been in revival, but the revival has not been in them. Why? Because we have mindsets that prevent us seeing what the Lord sees! From the sayings of the Desert Fathers: There were two men who had become very rich and were always seeking wisdom that they might become even more powerful. They came across one of the Desert fathers in a cave, and seeking wisdom went into the cave. They sat for some time then finally said. “We have come here to hear some wisdom and yet you don’t speak with us” to which the monk replied. “You spend your money to learn how to speak: I left the world to learn how to keep silent, in this way I have seen the Lord, with all your learning, what do you see?” Our mindsets keep us locked into a pattern so that even when the Lord turns up we cannot recognise that it is Him because it doesn’t fit our mindset. The Pharisees and Sadducees in their blindness didn’t see the Messiah the very one they were looking for when he turned up, because he came in a way that was outside their mindset. He didn’t come outside of what the Torah and the Prophets had taught, but in their mindsets they had seen something totally different. Can we sit in judgement of the Pharisees? Like Elijah we hear the Earthquakes, we see the lightings and thunders, but we miss the small still voice that says, “This is the way, walk ye in it” Revival in my heart and yours is allowing our mindsets to be challenged by the creator of the universe, but not just challenged its allowing ourselves to act in obedience to the still small voice. At our denominations conference a number of years ago, there was some very good teaching on reaching the lost. To go out of our way to proclaim the gospel as He directs us. Every one flooded out of the Auditorium in Christchurch, happy to have heard such good teaching. My wife and I came out and sitting at the gate of the Church was a dirty tramp that was clutching a dirty material bag full of holes. Everyone filed past him hardly noticing him. The Lord spoke to me and said, “talk to him.” My wife stood and I sat on the footpath next to him, I asked if he knew of Jesus, He replied “Oh yes I know Him well” we talked for a while and it became increasingly obvious there was something very unusual about this man, we offered him food and he said no thanks I don’t eat. I asked if I could pray for him he willingly agreed, I just prayed the blessing of the Lord on him, He looked at me with flashing blue eyes pointed his finger at me and said “That’s the Holy Spirit, never forget what you have learnt!” After saying our goodbyes, I got up and we started to walk off, we turned to wish him a final goodbye and he had disappeared. Wow just imagine if our mindsets had stopped us from speaking to this man, we would have missed out on a lesson straight from heaven. As Jesus said to those who judged him for healing on the Sabbath Stop judging by mere appearances, and make a right judgment.” (John7:24) Ignatius Loyola was heading for a certain place early on in his walk with the Lord, he had been a military man and used to being obedient. On the way to the place he needed to be, he was hit by the presence of the Lord. He stayed in a nearby cave for several months and received heavenly visitations and instructions from the Lord. His obedient nature could have taken two courses. 1) He could have reasoned that he was on a very busy errand and he could not stop to seek the Lord, even though the Lords presence was obvious. 2) What he did do was come aside in abandonment to the Lords call. So what does revival look like? I can’t answer that for you, it may look like the inside of a cave, or it may look like a 5 star hotel. But what I can say is this. Revival for you will look like abandoned obedience. The Lord is speaking very clearly today, “Don’t allow your mindset of what the purpose of God for your life looks like, stop you from walking in it” Today revival in your life looks like a yielded heart and bent will to the purpose of God, nothing more, nothing less. No use running around looking to “Do” in order to “Be”. Because your revival is in the still small voice saying, This is the way, Walk ye in it” and the words, “by grace you are saved, not of works least you should boast” Enjoy the journey.

Love Sick Saints
By Ian Johnson ianjohn@xtra.co.nz
A message inspired by the life of St John of the Cross 1542-1591
Song of Solomon 1:4
The king hath brought me into his chambers; we will be glad and rejoice in thee; We will make mention of thy love more than of wine
PSALM 36:8-9 You feed them from the abundance of your own house, letting them drink from your rivers of delight. For you are the fountain of life, the light by which we see.
A BETTER TRANSLATION IS They shall be inebriated with the plenty of your house; and will give them to drink of the torrent of your delight, because with you is the fountain of life
Your love is better than wine!
When people drink wine they become influenced by it
Therefore we need the wine of God! Because when we become intoxicated in His love, we become abandoned to its influence! Our cry! Therefore is; Fill me with your love Jesus; Draw me away in your love Jesus! Cause me to be intoxicated in your Love Jesus! Because that sort of abandoned heart is possessed by that which it abandons itself to. (From the Book “Glory to Glory” www.papelim.org.nz/page18.html )
A Love sick individual in Church history, John of the cross 1542-1591 was Imprisoned for nine months in a cell six feet wide & ten feet long, with a window only two inches wide, he composed some beautiful poems and songs. Being so in love with the Lord he didn’t make sense to the religious so they locked him up in the hope he would see some sense. He came out more in love and distracted by the Lord than when he went inside.
In prison St John of the cross wrote. “In the inner wine cellar I drank of my beloved, and when I went abroad through all this valley I no longer knew anything, and lost the herd which I was following.”
He also wrote: “South wind come, you that wakens love, breath through my garden, let its fragrance flow, and the beloved will feed amid the flowers.
His experience proved that no matter where we are, The Lord has gone there before us, and His love will always be found by those who seek it. (See Psalm 139)
There is no depth, No height, no Width to which we can go, that when we get there we find our Lord and master, our beloved Jesus
There is a place before God, A place of abandoned love, A place that seems irrelevant to a religious heart. Where we can drink deep of the wine of God. The more we drink the more abandoned we become, Then we become separated from the herd, who are blindly following programs and systems. To the herd we seem useless, unable to make sense because of our intoxicated nature.
But out of the prisons come songs of abundant love. A place where we go on from saying “Lord Breath on me” to “Breath through me”
John of the cross said. “The Garden is our soul, When the Lord breaths into the soul he imparts, but to breathe through the soul (garden) is to put in motion the fragrance.
It touches everything around us, and brings transformation. When I think of this I think of some friends, who when we were ministering in Wellington, were touched by the Holy Spirit, He breathed upon our friends in the lift of the hotel in which we had been staying, they became intoxicated in his love and unable to move just went up and down in the lift. Every time the door opened the same girl was standing there looking in at this unusual sight, the Holy Spirit breathed through the situation and the fragrance of this abandoned action touched the young lady, who by the way was a Muslim, She said, I want what your God gives, and they led her to the Lord.
You see a lot of people would say, just lock them up, After all we have to have a good testimony before the world, we have to be seen to have it all together, I mean the world won’t respond to or understand that intoxicated behaviour Will they?
John of the cross sums it up by say “God blesses his bride by breathing through her flowering garden, opens all these buds and uncovers the aromatic spices of gifts, and riches; and disclosing this interior treasure and wealth, He reveals all her beauty. Then she is something wonderful to behold and pleasant to handle.”
The world is thirsty and dry, the last thing they need is our nearly empty bottles of putrid religion. Rather they need to feel the breath of God. To see the joy of an abandoned life. They will say, What’s going on here? They will smell the fragrance of an inner beauty, that only comes from the Holy Spirit. Something wonderful to behold and pleasant to handle!
David dancing with an abandoned heart before the Lord, offends Michal his wife (the religious mindset) she despised him, but it pleased the Lord!
Matt Redman sums this up in His song “Undignified” The song goes; I will dance I will sing, to be mad for my King and nothing Lord is hindering the passion in my soul. And Ill become even more undignified than this, some would say its foolishness, but ill become even more undignified than this.
When we approach the Lord we need to come as if we ourselves are in a cell with nothing in our hands. All we can do is bow low before his majesty and glory, and drink deep of the wine of His love. Not distracted by our requests or our pleas, simply abandoned to his love, there we become intoxicated and our dance will please the Lord. it is Sure there will be a Michal to remind you of how you really should behave in the courts of the Lord, but just listen for the sound of His voice saying “Well done thou good and faithful servant, enter into your rest” That’s all that really matters at the end of the day.
May Jesus breath through your garden in 2008.

A message inspired by the life of St John of the Cross 1542-1591
Song of Solomon 1:4
The king hath brought me into his chambers; we will be glad and rejoice in thee; We will make mention of thy love more than of wine
PSALM 36:8-9 You feed them from the abundance of your own house, letting them drink from your rivers of delight. For you are the fountain of life, the light by which we see.
A BETTER TRANSLATION IS They shall be inebriated with the plenty of your house; and will give them to drink of the torrent of your delight, because with you is the fountain of life
Your love is better than wine!
When people drink wine they become influenced by it
Therefore we need the wine of God! Because when we become intoxicated in His love, we become abandoned to its influence! Our cry! Therefore is; Fill me with your love Jesus; Draw me away in your love Jesus! Cause me to be intoxicated in your Love Jesus! Because that sort of abandoned heart is possessed by that which it abandons itself to. (From the Book “Glory to Glory” www.papelim.org.nz/page18.html )
A Love sick individual in Church history, John of the cross 1542-1591 was Imprisoned for nine months in a cell six feet wide & ten feet long, with a window only two inches wide, he composed some beautiful poems and songs. Being so in love with the Lord he didn’t make sense to the religious so they locked him up in the hope he would see some sense. He came out more in love and distracted by the Lord than when he went inside.
