Greetings from all the way along the West Coast we are travelling through some of the most beautiful scenery in New Zealand.
Hebrews 11:3 By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible.
Irimahuwhero Look out, which is about midway between Greymouth and Westport. This photo is viewing north, towards Westport, with our busses in view.
Irimahuwhero look out, viewing south, towards Greymouth. Gods creation is so amazing, we really are blessed here in New Zealand. Thank You Father God.
Psalm 95:4-5 In His hand are the deep places of the earth; The heights of the hills are His also. The sea is His, for He made it; And His hands formed the dry land.
We set up in a freedom camp situated at the Buller river mouth, near Westport town.
As soon as we had parked up we were immediately greeted by a family of resident Weka’s.
To the Weka’s delight, I had some old bread in the fridge, which they gobbled up quicker than I could throw it to them.
They were obviously very well fed and were not shy at all. One even came into the bus to snap up some pieces at my feet.
Quite humorous actually, as soon as you moved they would dart off, but would then return just as quick.
Mathew 6:26-27. Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? Which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature?
The next day we went into central town to outreach. This time we decided to just witness with tracts. There were many divine encounters as twenty nine blessed people surrendered their hearts to Jesus. All glory to You Jesus !
Once again at around 2pm we departed from Westport, headed for our next destination, Murchison.
Thank you for joining us here, you are welcome to leave a comment if you like.
Westport is the main town of the Buller District in the West Coast Region of the South Island of New Zealand. Established in 1861, it is the oldest European settlement on the West Coast.[4] Originally named Buller,[5] it is on the right bank and at the mouth of the Buller River, close to the prominent headland of Cape Foulwind. It is connected with Greymouth, 100 kilometres (62 mi) to the south, via State Highway 6, and with Nelson, 222 kilometres (138 mi) to the northeast, via the Buller Gorge. The Westport urban area has 4,600 residents, out of a Buller District population of 10,650, as of June 2025.
Name
The Māori language name for the river and the region is Kawatiri, meaning deep and swift.[6] The town is thought to have been named after Westport, County Mayo in Ireland, although the choice of name was no doubt also guided by its location.[5]
History
From an archaeological excavation site, near the mouth of the Buller River (Kawatiri), it is clear that Māori were living close to Westport by the early 14th century.[7] Māori mostly lived in coastal areas, though they explored the mountains for pounamu (jade or greenstone), which they then traded with other iwi.[8]
The first wave of European settlers came to Westport in 1861 as gold miners,[9] and the first European vessel said to have entered the river was the sealingschoonerThree Brothers in 1844,[10] though other sealing vessels were recorded in the Cape Foulwind area in the 1820s.[11] The 1840s saw many exploratory parties of geologists and surveyors combing the area for the presence of valuable resources and taking the measure of the land. Amongst them were Charles Heaphy, William Fox and Thomas Brunner. While gold brought initial interest to the area, and for example, led to large areas of the coastal areas (covered by sediment from the river) being dredged for the valuable mineral,[12] the area soon became much more famous for coal mining, still a dominant concern in the region today.[8]
Hello family, today we are in Greymouth, after travelling through Arthur’s Pass.
We found a freedom camp out at the river mouth. The site was very exposed as the bus rocked around in the strong wind.
The next day we had arranged to meet brother Juergen and daughter Anna. Anna a young, budding evangelist, was keen to join us in the outreach. We set up a table on the Main Street, with free drinks, books and bibles to give away.
Luke 6:38 Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be put into yourbosom. For with the same measure that you use, it will be measured back to you.
The town was quiet but Holy Spirit still drew in precious souls to Jesus. We spent some time sharing with Juergen and Anna, how the Lord works through us in sharing the good news to the public.
We sensed Anna was encouraged as she handed tracts out to the people passing by. It was evident, that Anna truely does love Jesus with all her heart and a desire to evangelise.
Jeremiah 29:13. And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart.
Brother Juergen, a beloved brother in Christ, blessed us with food and drink. God has given Juergen incredible talents in photography, producing stunning imagery of God’s beautiful creation, glory to Jesus. Many of the images are viewed in books or media around the world. He has two galleries in Hokitika, praise God.
1 Peter 4:10. As each one has received a gift, minister it to one another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.
We loaded Anna up with tracts for her ministry with Jesus and at around 2pm, we departed from Greymouth, to travel to Westport.
Thank you for joining us here, you are welcome to leave a comment if you like.
Bless you and your families with love from your brother in Christ,
Greymouth is the largest town in the West Coastregion in the South Island of New Zealand, and the seat of the Grey District Council. The population of the whole Grey District is 14,600, which accounts for 42% of the West Coast’s inhabitants. The Greymouth urban area had an estimated population of 8,610 (June 2025).[1] A large proportion of the District, 65%,[3] is part of the Conservation Estate owned and managed by the Department of Conservation making Greymouth a natural centre for walkers and trampers.
The town is located at the mouth of the Grey River, on a narrow coastal plain close to the foot of the Southern Alps. In clear weather, Aoraki / Mount Cook can be clearly seen to the south from near the town. The mouth of the river divides the town into three areas: Blaketown, close to the river’s mouth on the south bank; Karoro, to the southeast, separated from Blaketown by a series of small estuarine lagoons; and Cobden, formerly a separate town, on the river’s north bank
Ephesians 4:13 KJVtill we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ.
Or consider the Amplified Bible version as well…..
Ephesians 4:13 AMP until we all reach oneness in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God, [growing spiritually] to become a mature believer, reaching to the measure of the fullness of Christ [manifesting His spiritual completeness and exercising our spiritual gifts in unity].
Jesus through Apostle Paul said that we mature into the fullness of Christ within. We were created through Jesus, the life. Once separated by the veil of sin, but now, through the cross, we pass back through Jesus.
This is a spiritual awakening of our true identity as son’s and daughter’s of God.
He matures us into His perfection, becoming one with Him.
Hebrews 10:14. For by one offering He has perfected forever those who are being sanctified.
The truth is, if we abide in Him and Him in us, we are one with Him, growing in His absolute perfection.
Romans 8:12-13. But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not His. And if Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin, but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you.
God views us through Christ, in the finished work of the cross, because the blood of His perfect Son cleansed us of all iniquity and unrighteousness.
Through His perfect love at the cross, Jesus, and the fullness of God, indwells us, in union with Him.
In time we mature in His perfection, through the Holy Spirit.
Early in my walk with Jesus , after being convicted by the Holy Spirit, I would have feelings of sorrow and condemnation. The Lord said to me, not to do this, just repent and move on, for my grace is sufficient.
The perfect sacrifice of Christ at the cross, absolutely paid the debt of all our sin. To go back into the law of condemnation within His, perfectly purchased vessels, bought and cleansed with His, precious blood, denies this truth.
The truth is we are not our own, we are His and He is ours, one together.
Colossians 1:27-28. To them God willed to make known what are the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles: which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.
Him we preach, warning every man and teaching every man in all wisdom, that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus.
1 Corinthians 6:17. But he who is joined to the Lord is one spirit with Him.
1 Corinthians 6:19. Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies.
Do we honour God through our bodies by speaking, or dumping down in, condemnation, after He washed us with His precious blood ?
Hebrews 10:9-14. then He said, “Behold, I have come to do Your will, O God.” He takes away the first that He may establish the second. By that will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
And every priest stands ministering daily and offering repeatedly the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins.
But this Man, after He had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down at the right hand of God, from that time waiting till His enemies are made His footstool.
For by one offering He has perfected forever those who are being sanctified.
When I make a mistake or go through a trial, Holy Spirit is perfecting me through it, maturing me, in His richness of wisdom, understanding and grace, which is absolutely sufficient. Thank you Jesus.
I Know that I am, but clay, in God’s hands, being moulded into His perfect creation, thank you Father God.
Isaiah 64:8. But now, O Lord, You are our Father; We are the clay, and You our potter; And all we are the work of Your hand.
James 1:4. But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing.
If we have been crucified in Christ and walk in the Spirit of God in perfect union with Him, we are being perfected through Him. Because, it is no longer I who live but Christ in me.
We are in oneness with our creator and aligned with the Kingdom of Heaven, within.
Galatians 2:20. I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.
Humility is imperative, but so is acknowledging Christ within.
We lack absolutely nothing, a living sacrifice, the essence of God, made whole, and become a reflection of Him.
2 Corinthians 3:16-18. Nevertheless when one turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away. Now the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.
But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord.
Mathew 5:48 Therefore you shall be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect.
Hello friends in Christ, after Hokatika we had planned to return back to Christchurch, via Arthur’s Pass. Ps Paul had invited us back to Urban Oasis C3 Church on the way back.
My son Jackson and his mum had recently moved to Christchurch, so God’s perfect timing enabled us to catch up and spend time together, over two weeks. Thank You Lord.
In this time I was able to help Jackson prepare for His new school with uniform and stationary.
It was great to spend time with him as we had not seen each other in the 9 months since we left Auckland. Jackson is also starting his first ever part-job in a local mechanics shop, so Mum and Dad are thrilled for him as he matures through more responsibility.
Thank You Jesus for guiding, protecting and providing for Jackson and his mum. Amen.
Brother Pio stayed with sister Aileen, while brother Logen informed us that he will be leaving the Souls For Christ outreach tour, deciding to stay with his Dad, who lives in Christchurch.
We were sad to say good bye to our beloved brother in Christ Logen, but I sensed this was part of God’s plan for him. We know he will go on to do greast things in Christ.
We prepared the bus for transfer back to Auckland. Brother Gav and wife offered to drive it back to Auckland.
So much has happened in our time in Christchurch, but I believe our Father in Heaven is working all things for our good.
You are faithful and kind Father, always present. All we do is trust in You, for we know nothing is impossible for You.
After all our good-byes to beloved family, we departed for Greymouth, via Arthur’s Pass again.
Once again we stayed at a Doc Camp (Department of Conservation) mid-way to rest.
Thank you for joining us here, you are welcome to leave a comment if you like.
Bless you and your families with love from your brother in Christ,
Christchurch has an urban population of 412,000, and a metropolitan population of over half a million. It is located in the Canterbury Region, near the centre of the east coast of the South Island, east of the Canterbury Plains.
It is located near the southern end of Pegasus Bay, and is bounded to the east by the Pacific Ocean and to the south by the ancient volcanic complex of the Banks Peninsula.
The Avon River / Ōtākaro winds through the centre of the city, with a large urban park along its banks. With the exception of the Port Hills, it is a relatively flat city, on an average around 20 m (66 ft) above sea level.
Christchurch has a reputation for being an English city, with its architectural identity and nickname the ‘Garden City’ due to similarities with garden cities in England, but also has a historic Māori heritage. Christchurch has a temperate oceanic climate with regular moderate rainfall.
The area of modern-day greater Christchurch was first inhabited by the historic Māori iwiWaitaha in the mid-thirteenth century. Waitaha, who occupied the swamplands with patchworks of marshland, were invaded by Kāti Māmoe in the sixteenth century, and then were absorbed by Kāi Tahu a century later.
Ōtautahi was inhabited seasonally, and a major trading centre was established at Kaiapoi Pā. British colonial settlement began in the mid-nineteenth century. The First Four Ships were chartered by the Canterbury Association and brought the Canterbury Pilgrims from Britain to Lyttelton Harbour in 1850. It became a city by letters patent on 31 July 1856, making it officially the oldest established city in New Zealand.
Christchurch was heavily industrialised in the early 20th century, with the opening of the Main South Line railway and the development of state housing saw rapid growth in the city’s economy and population.
Christchurch has strong cultural connections with its European elements and architectural identity. Christchurch is also home to a number of performing arts centres and academic institutions (including the University of Canterbury). Christchurch has hosted numerous international sporting events, notably the 1974 British Commonwealth Games at the purpose-built Queen Elizabeth II Park.
The city has been recognised as an Antarctic gateway since 1901, and is nowadays one of the five Antarctic gateway cities hosting Antarctic support bases for several nations. Christchurch is served by the Christchurch Airport in Harewood, the country’s second-busiest airport.
Hello friends in Christ, we finally arrived in Hokatika, hallelujah! Gavin and Cindy, hosts of the living Waters Festival, invited us to stay at their beautiful farm in Hokatika.
We parked up and were, greeted by brothers Deon, Gavin and Doug.They invited us to join them and a multitude of fellow brothers and sisters in Christ for dinner.
It was a lovely reunion with beloved brothers and sisters in Christ from Auckland there, Deon and Roleen, Chris and Klaudia, Maree and Gary.
We also met brother George from a Motorcycle Ministry again, whom we met in Hamilton and many more new faces in the family of Christ.
Mathew 12:46-50While He was still talking to the multitudes, behold, His mother and brothers stood outside, seeking to speak with Him. Then one said to Him, “Look, Your mother and Your brothers are standing outside, seeking to speak with You.”
But He answered and said to the one who told Him, “Who is My mother and who are My brothers?” And He stretched out His hand toward His disciples and said, “Here are My mother and My brothers! For whoever does the will of My Father in heaven is My brother and sister and mother.
We enjoyed a lovely dinner and fellowship together, with worship, prayer and communion after, praise God.
17 January 2026, the next day, the festival started. We set up in a tent with free books and tracts. Then brother Logen and myself decided to head into Hokatika, central town for a few hours of outreach.
Brother Pio stayed with the tent. We found an access point from the Main Street to the beach. The perfect location for Holy Spirit to have maximum impact in a small town. Amen.
John 14:26. But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you.
We set up a table with free drinks, books and bibles and shared the Good News, praise God.
Logen preached, as I witnessed, to the people passing through.
Amazingly Holy Spirit drew in thirty two precious souls, to Jesus. All confessing Jesus is their Saviour, glory to Him.
John 14:15-17. “If you love Me, keep My commandments. And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever—the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you.
We met Mum and daughter previously at a doc camp. We enjoyed a wonderful fellowship together. Mum had a powerful word from God, she shared with me.
1 Corinthians 14:3 But he who prophesies speaks edification and exhortation and comfort to men.
We then return to the festival to enjoy the amazingly talented musicians who sang and praised God until 10pm, thank you Holy Spirit.
There were also a number of powerful preachers, who did not hold back on delivering important truths from the word of God.
Steve and Ainsley Apirana sang from the heart, with beautiful Holy Spirit filled melodies, glorifying Jesus.
Psalm 138:5. Yes, they shall sing of the ways of the Lord, For great is the glory of the Lord.
Was great to see brother Deon again, looking well and on fire for Jesus as usual.
Leviticus 6:13. A fire shall always be burning on the altar; it shall never go out.
Lovely to catch up with Chris and Klaudia again from Auckland.
Psalm 34.5. They looked to Him and were radiant, And their faces were not ashamed.
Great to catch up with brother Gary from Auckland, who Loves the Lord.
1 John 4:16. And we have known and believed the love that God has for us. God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God in him.
Maree was enjoying the festival cuisine. Always a joy to be around.
John 15:11. These things I have spoken to you, that My joy may remain in you, and that your joy may be full.
Brother Juergen is looking remarkably well. We enjoyed a great fellowship together, with his family, praise God.
1 John 1:7. But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin.
Great to see brother Doug and his lovely wife again, who were camped in their caravan next to us. Lovely Humble people who love the Lord Jesus.
Proverbs 22:4. By humility and the fear of the Lord Are riches and honor and life.
1 Peter 5:5-6. Likewise you younger people, submit yourselves to your elders. Yes, all of you be submissive to one another, and be clothed with humility, for
“God resists the proud, But gives grace to the humble.”
Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time,
18 January 2026, there was a morning service with a great message for us to chew on. We were informed of beloved Ps Michael who had collapsed and was rushed off to hospital last night. We all prayed for his healing in Jesus mighty name.
Mark 11:23. For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says.
After the service, the festival had ended and the pack up started. We then decided to go to the Hokatika river mouth to try catch a fish, but was very quiet.
The next day we tried again, but it seems the only fishing that produces a catch is when we are fishing for people, praise God.
Mathew 4:19. Then He said to them, “Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men.
Thank you for joining us here, you are welcome to leave a comment if you like.
Bless you and your families with love from your brother in Christ,
Isaiah 30:21.Your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, “This is the way, walk in it,” Whenever you turn to the right hand Or whenever you turn to the left.
Over the millennia, man has professed to knowing The Way.
We see this in the thousands of religions, religious denominations, cults and sects.
Proverbs 14:12 & 16:25.There is a way that seems right to a man, But its end is the way of death.
Jesus warned us about these deceptions.
Mathew 24:23-26 .Then if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or ‘There!’ do not believe it. For false christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect. See, I have told you beforehand.
Therefore if they say to you, ‘Look, He is in the desert!’ do not go out; or ‘Look, He is in the inner rooms!’ do not believe it.
In this message there will be some very simple but confronting scripture, they certainly spoke to me many times.
At different times Holy Spirit has really impacted me with awe and revelation, through these simple truths.
They radically changed the ways that seemed to be right to me, for most of my time, experienced in this world.
God has directed this message to me, as He gently guides me deeper into closer union with Him.
However, He has put on my heart to share with my brothers and sisters in Christ, to edify and lift them up.
This is usually the case and I absolutely love to do this for Him and You, my beloved family.
The word of God expresses that we are on a spiritual pilgrimage, to the promise land.
Hebrews 11:8-10.By faith Abraham obeyed when he was called to go out to the place which he would receive as an inheritance. And he went out, not knowing where he was going. By faith he dwelt in the land of promise as in a foreign country, dwelling in tents with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise; for he waited for the city which has foundations, whose builder and maker is God.
Jeremiah 6:16.Stand in the ways and see, And ask for the old paths, where the good way is, And walk in it; Then you will find rest for your souls. But they said ‘we will not walk in it.’
God reveals the path, but because of our rebellious nature, we chose not to walk His Way.
This is why we need to be reborn. To die to this rebellious nature we have adopted through the generations.
God’s Way is the opposite to what we have learned and experienced in this corrupt and evil world.
We have adopted Satan’s way.
Jeremiah 17:9.The heart is deceitful above all things, And desperately wicked; Who can know it?
To follow God’s Way, we look to Jesus.
John 14:6. Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.
He came in the flesh to not only save us, but to show us the Way.
Jesus spoke about the Way as being difficult.
Mathew 7:13-14 Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it.
Jesus also said, we must carry our cross, dying to ourselves daily.
Luke 9:23 Then He said to them all, “If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me. For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will save it. For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and is himself destroyed or lost?
Luke 14:33 So likewise, whoever of you does not forsake all that he has cannot be My disciple.
John 3:3 Jesus answered and said to him, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
John 3:5. Jesus answered, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God.
Hebrews 12:14. Pursue peace with all people, and holiness, without which no one will see the Lord
Mathew 7:21. Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven.
All these scriptures point to one truth, we struggle to accept, our way is not God’s Way.
This is why we must be born again, but for something to be born again, something has to die first.
We were created through perfection, God made a Way for us to return to perfection, through His perfect and beautiful, Son Jesus.
John 12:23-26. But Jesus answered them, saying, “The hour has come that the Son of Man should be glorified. Most assuredly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it produces much grain. He who loves his life will lose it, and he who hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life.If anyone serves Me, let him follow Me; and where I am, there My servant will be also. If anyone serves Me, him My Father will honor.
Like many followers of Christ, for a long time, I did not fully comprehend, what dying to thy self really meant.
But through much time meditating in the word, my understanding grew.
Day by day, more and more of those carnal ways, of the flesh and old mindsets, became less and less.
Only by grace through Jesus and the Holy Spirit revealing truth, could this have happened.
But God sees the heart, If we diligently seek His Way, we will find it.
Jesus showed us the Way, He gave up His life for us, then He was resurrected.
We follow His example, we die to ourselves, then are resurrected through Him and His Way.
Fear of God is mentioned over 300 times in the bible.
This is an important virtue that develops a hatred of the things that our Father in Heaven hates, turning us from sin and drawing us closer to Him.
Isaiah 33:6. Wisdom and knowledge will be the stability of your times, And the strength of salvation; The fear of the LORD is His treasure.
Proverbs 8:13. The fear of the Lord is to hate evil; Pride and arrogance and the evil way And the perverse mouth I hate.
When we understand the devastating impact the carnal mind has upon our relationship with God, salvation and our lives, we realise how important it is to completely strip it all away.
This is our spiritual pilgrimage, and the only reasonable thing to do.
Romans 12:1. I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.
Romans 8:3-11. For what the law could not do in that it was weak through the flesh, God did by sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, on account of sin: He condemned sin in the flesh, that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.
For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit.
For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.
Because the carnal mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, nor indeed can be. So then, those who are in the flesh cannot please God.
But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not His. And if Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin, but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you.
This scripture clearly states, the carnal earthly mind has been replaced with the mind of Christ.
Apostle Paul said our minds are to be renewed by bringing every thought to the obedience of Christ.
Romans 12:2. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.
2 Corinthians 10.5 For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ, and being ready to punish all disobedience when your obedience is fulfilled.
To die completely, we must hate and punish every single thought contrary to God’s Way.
We can not entertain any of these old corruptible mindsets. When we do, we shift out of alignment with God.
Here lies the difficulty Jesus spoke about when He said difficult is the Way.
The way of the world around us is the opposite to God’s Way.
We need to be a doer of the word and actively seek God in every moment.
Acknowledging Him in all we do, everywhere we go.
This requires an extreme level of discipline, only possible through Holy Spirit.
1 Corinthians 9:24-27. Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may obtain it. And everyone who competes for the prize is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a perishable crown, but we for an imperishable crown. Therefore I run thus: not with uncertainty. Thus I fight: not as one who beats the air. But I discipline my body and bring it into subjection, lest, when I have preached to others, I myself should become disqualified.
This discipline becomes our Way of life, through Jesus, and is not a burden.
On the contrary, the more we become like Him, the more we are filled with the goodness of God our Father, just as Jesus is.
Jesus said He only spoke what the Father commanded.
John 12:49-50. For I have not spoken on My own authority; but the Father who sent Me gave Me a command, what I should say and what I should speak. And I know that His command is everlasting life. Therefore, whatever I speak, just as the Father has told Me, so I speak.
Jesus declared and demonstrated His full surrender and perfect union with Father God.
Through the Holy Spirit, Jesus obediently follows, every command of God, with every word spoken.
The same is for us, when in perfect union with God our Father, Jesus and the Holy Spirit. Three persons in one.
Jesus said to abide in Him and He and the Father, will abide in us.
John 14:23.Jesus answered and said to him, “If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home with him.
This is the perfect union. The key, obedience through sacrifice.
Sacrificing ourselves to obediently serve Love Himself, Jesus Christ.
That by following Him and His Ways, we may be fill to the fullness of Him.
To glorify Him and the Father, in all the worlds, for ever and ever, Amen, Hallelujah!

Bless you and your families with love from your brother in Christ,
Hello family in christ, Our last day outreach in Central Otago, was to be in Queenstown.
Once again we all split up to cover the town as much as possible. There were many divine appointments through out the day, praise God.
Seventy one new brothers and sisters in Christ, starting their pilgrimage of spiritual understanding and oneness in God our Father, through His beautiful son Jesus Christ and Holy Spirit. Amen.
Heading up State Highway 6 towards Hasst.
For our two days rest, we stayed at a DOC camp (Department of Conservation, offering a range of facilities in beautiful natural settings, such as forests, lakeshores, and beaches) in Mt Aspiring National Park.
As soon as we arrived, I recalled the comments online about the ferocious sandflies along the West Coast. Their accounts were confirmed, as soon as we stepped out of the bus. We could’t open our windows or doors, because of their immediate invasion.
We then moved up the stunning West Coast to the next camp in Paringa, then onto Franz Josef.
After we had parked at the camp, we went grocery shopping.
When we arrived back, I noticed a side window in the Coaster bus had completely cracked right through. We were not sure how this happened, but it was still intact, so we taped it up the best we could.
We went up to view Franz Josef Glacier. The weather was drizzling and cold, but we were in awe of Father God’s wonderful creation.
We rested for the night in a beautiful campground, nestled in the bush, with camper parks dotted all around the camp. Our driving skills were certainly tested as we navigated our way through the maze.
Thank you for joining us here, with Jesus our personal navigator, leading and guiding us on our journey in this world. Thank you Jesus for Your light, a lamp unto our feet.
You are welcome to leave a comment if you like.
Bless you and your families with love from your brother in Christ,
The town is on the northwestern edge of Lake Wakatipu, a long, thin, S-shaped lake formed by glacial processes, and has views of nearby mountains such as The Remarkables, Cecil Peak, Walter Peak and, just above the town, Ben Lomond and Queenstown Hill. Queenstown is known for its tourism businesses, especially adventure and ski tourism.
2 Corinthians 4:18 while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal.
To focus on the eternal unseen, our infinite Creator and source of all things, we simply look within at Holy Spirit. God created us in His marvelous wisdom, to be His dwelling place.
He made us in His image, to harmoniously and lovingly, exercises His unlimited, creative power, through His Holy Spirit.
All we need to do is awaken to His presence within. Be still and wait, for His divine lead.
The only way we can hear Him, is if we align with His word, no contradictions, no compromises, no focus on the corruptable or deceptions of this world. Just pure unbroken union with the great I AM.
What an amazing Gift God our Father has given us in Jesus Christ, His beautiful Son. Removing the veil for us through His love for us at the cross and seated us with Him in His temples of flesh.
We are reunited with our true Father who formed us in the womb. God Most High, who performs all things for me. Ps 56:2
In His perfection He renews and transforms us, through His beauty and glory for ever.
There is no limit to His creative power through us. His greatness, majesty, love and brilliant light will be magnified through us for ever.
Jesus WILL be infinitely Glorified and exalted through us, because He is our eternal life and light.
The morning star has given us, the morning star.
God our Father’s beautiful plan from the beginning, finished at the cross.
WOW! HALLELUJAH!
Praise and Glory be to Him for ever.
God bless 🙏

The researchers used a hydrogel to 3D-print a model
of the corpus cavernosum – a key structure in the penis that fills with blood during an erection. Next,
they seeded this scaffold with endothelial cells – the main cells that line blood vessels
Philippians 1:21 For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain.
Galatians 2:20 I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the son of God, who loved Me and gave Himself for me.
People who are Cruified, die… Their life leaves their body. If we have been crusified with Christ, we are dead to self. All self has passed away. All that remains is God in our flesh.
We are NOT our own, for we were bought with a price. As Jesus said to Father God, not my will, but Yours be done. Abraham’s obedience was counted as righteousness. Obedience is key.
Alive in Christ, is a sacrificed vessel completely yielded to Him. There is no, I, me, myself, just the great, I AM. The word of God, Prince of Peace, the truth, the way, the life.
THERE IS NOTHING ELSE BECAUSE WE HAVE CRUSIFIED OURSELVES!
2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.
When we look in the mirror, we see Christ.
2 Corinthians 3:18 But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord.
When people look at us they see Christ
Mathew 5:16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in Heaven.
When we speak, He is speaking
John 12:49 For I have not spoken on My own authority; but the Father who sent Me a command, what I should say and what I should speak.
When we rest, we rest in Christ
John 14:27 Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
John 15:13 Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends.
Let’s lay it all down for the one who did so for us. Let your will be done Jesus, my friend for ever 🙏 ❤️

Bless you and your families with love from your brother in Christ,
Joshua 6:20 So the people shouted when the priests blew the trumpets. And it happened when the people heard the sound of the trumpet, and the people shouted with a great shout, that the wall fell down flat. Then the people went up into the city, every man straight before him, and they took the city.
This morning the Lord showed me the story of Jericho and how it symbolizes our salvation.
Joshua is Jesus The Lord saves.
God stopped the Jordan He made a path to reach us. 12 stones in Gilgal Remember who stopped the waters of our lives to come and save us, God Himself. Rehab the prostitute: Represents us, when we prostituted ourselves to the enemy within our walls. But we opened ourselves to God, and let Him in. He gave us a promise of salvation, we accepted His covenant. Jesus came with His angel armies, with all His power and glory. He spoke with a two edged sword and the enemies walls filled with darkness, came tumbling down. (This still brings tears to my eyes) The enemy Carnal mind, alters to other gods, evil abominations, perversions, selfishness, every unclean thing. Totally and completely destroyed, (none left alive and everything burned with fire) Rehab, her father’s household and all that she had, dwells in Israel The Bible tells us that we are grafted into Israel, as a promise and an inheritance, through the cleansing blood of Jesus Abstain from accursed things, but silver and gold come into the treasury of the Lord What is good in our house/ temple He keeps, but warns us not to keep anything taken from the enemy. ( Any sin ) Defeat at AI by the Amorites A warning, If you keep anything taken from the enemy ( sin ) you will be delivered into his hands. Achan and all his family stoned to death. A warning of the consequences of disobedience, of not keeping God’s commandments and continuing in sin ( Is death ) The promise land The Kingdom of Heaven, alongside our Commander in Chief, King Jesus for ever. Amen 🙏
