“Just as a new season in the earth births a new pace, focus, innovations and technologies that advance and accelerate the socioeconomic realities of the day, new seasons in the spirit also require advanced, prophetic [creative] strategies and technology in the construction and establishment of the kingdom of God upon the earth”.

Fasting according to biblical injunction and inspiration has always been a powerful prophetic tool that not only accelerates the development of the hidden man of the heart, but also awakens him to function in his full capacity and revelation for the season in call. Fasting in line with the Father’s will, and being attentive to his prophetic intentions and counsel for the season, is one of the most profound means and channels of accelerating heaven’s agenda for the season hyped in spiritual warfare.

No one should doubt that we are living in one of the most contentious seasons in human history. The degree of open challenge and aggression against the values and standard of God, both within the corridors of government institutions and in society, has generally reached a point that requires us to know and put on not just some parts of the Armor of God, but the full Armor, so we may be able to stand against the schemes of the enemy.

This, however, is impossible when the inner man that ought to be dressed by this amour for kingdom combat is limited in his influence, because the outer man, the soul-life, is still powerfully enthroned over our appetites, desires and will even in the like fasting and praying.

In this season, as we look into the concept of the inner man breaking forth and taking the driver’s seat of our lives, God allows us to redeploy the instrument of fasting in entering this higher dimension, where our lives are no longer influenced, controlled, and imprisoned by the dictates of our self-centered soul personality.

Our souls are being strongly compelled and realigned through the corporate operation of our spirits and the Holy Spirit to submit to heaven’s order and compliance in full obedience and trust in this hour. We want to encourage everyone who is seeking the face of the Lord in this crucial time for deliverance and reformation for the Body of Christ to agree with us in prayer and fasting during these 21 days.

Today, the 5th of August 2023 is our fifth day of the 21 days of fast, and we are certainly believing the Father will do great things as we corporately yield our bodies to him as a living sacrifice. We are calling on the global community of the Body of Christ to rise and join the glorious movement of prophetic realignment through the Spirit of fast and waiting on the Lord.

If you have been listening to the sound of the spirit; the voice of God, calling and demanding that the church arise to its place of strength and relevance in terms of heaven’s prophetic desire and mandate for the nation, then this will be a great opportunity for you to align with the corporate Body of Christ in crying unto the Lord in fasting.

One of the things we hope for and look forward to during this season is how we can advance and further the apostolic commission of the ecclesia in a way that best reflects the spiritual growth and maturation of the Saints, no matter where they are located in the world or what limiting conditions they may be facing.

Knowing that whatever we face is but temporal, they do not last, and they cannot be compared to the glorious life that is about to manifest through us. While we look not to the things we see with our physical eyes, but to the things we see without spiritual eyes. Yes, the Lord is calibrating our sight in this season.

We will see things the way they ought to be seen. We will know things and people in their true nature. As we pray and seek the will of God to be restored to their correct place of relevance and functionality over our lives, we will begin to witness a powerful release of times of refreshing from the presence of the Father.

More than ever before, we trust and believe the spirit of God is moving across the nations. In the context of this move, there are certain key points that heaven is highlighting. There are powerful dimensions of waves coming to revive, redeem, renew, reform, reconstruct, transform, and ultimately restore. We cannot afford to miss the waves of the Spirit as they come to the shorelines of our spirits and the nations in this epic battle of the end of days.

Even as we move into the frontline and frontiers of advanced kingdom mandate, we must continue to clothe ourselves with the seasonal impressions of mind renewal, as we continue to catch and glide up on as many waves as possible as they come from the sea of the Spirit of the living God. We must never fall into the error that refuses or relegates the speakings of the Father into some religious, compartmental box.

The voice and impressions of the Lord are not something that can be controlled or restricted by the religious beliefs or dogmas of so-called spiritual leaders. The voice of God, like the world of the internet and social media, now gives his children an open, access opportunity to come and make their presence known.

No one is disenfranchised in this glorious end time move. No part of the earth is allowed to remain in darkness. Everyone, regardless of their skin-color, race, or sex, education background, influence, or challenges, now has open access to the prophetic frequencies of the Spirit to hear and respond to the current mandate of heaven.

No Church or leadership organization can imprison or monopolize the prophetic demands of the Father for this hour. Heaven is breaking forth upon the land, new prophetic voices are springing forth, like mushrooms over the hemisphere. There’s a kingdom governmental sound awakening within the hearts of young and old alike, burning and burdened with the passion of the Spirit on the watchtower to see the consolation and restoration of Israel for their generation.

Young men and women are responding to the clarion call of the Spirit in this hour to become the vessel that brings reformation and transformation to their society. Hallelujah! The Lord is sending saviors and redeemers across the oceans to bring direction, with a powerful apostolic spirit, to bring realignment to regions of the earth taken over by religious witchcraft called intimidation and manipulation. The truth is breaking forth upon the Islands and lowlands of the nations. The mountains and the valleys are aligning to the sound of the Lord’s coming.

Refreshing waters of the Spirit are now being released through the altars, rebuilt and restored through the ministry of Ezra. The Ezra and Nehemiah are coming; these are two apostolic craftsmen; heaven is releasing into the Body of Christ across the nations. This is the rebuilding of the house of God according to the divine order and pattern shown on the mountain.

Heaven comes to earth seasonally to find willing men and women who are positioned at the well, waiting for him like the woman the Lord met at the well in Samaria. She was tired of her soul-life driving her life; she wanted to drink from the well that never runs dry. She was willing to let go of her former position in entering the new life of the Lord. Unfortunately, many, as we see in our time, even after they realized their wells no longer satisfy, they still hang onto the false lifestyle.

Then, we have another sad reality of those seeking through their soul-power to dig other wells, hoping they will find [satisfaction] water to offer their audiences. Indeed, they found water, but not the living water. These folks are offering polluted waters that are causing men and women to fall sick and lose their minds to demonic spirits; instead of offering healing water, they offer death and destruction to the mass who attends their so-called prophetic meetings and churches.

While men and women see the damages this polluted water is causing their spiritual health and that of others, they are still, unfortunately, returning to these false, religious, polluted, destructive wells centers. They know they can’t find satisfaction and fulfillment in these wells, but their soul has been captivated by lies and deceptions.

Their soul has formed destructive soul-ties with these wells, men call churches or houses of worship. This is a sad reality that needs to be confronted in the Spirit of high-level governmental intercession and fasting to break the spell covering the minds of these brethren across Africa and the nations.

These churches have become a high place in the operational spirits of iniquity and perversion. These are now the hive of powerful Strongholds that has imprisoned the soul of the society. This must be addressed in the strongest apostolic understanding before it’s too late.

Brethren, it is time for us to take our place corporately, even as we continue to wait upon the Lord through the ministry of fast. Sacrifice is the current word of the Spirit. Those who cannot sacrifice should not expect to enter that divine order of life that will advance the apostolic intentions and impressions of the Father for the season.

We are told that these one cannot be addressed except through the ministry of fasting. Beloved, these challenges we are highlighting through the impression of the Spirit needs to be carefully discerned and handled through the restored power of the Spirit. Giving ourselves to the continual dealings of fasting gives us the right knowledge and wisdom to locate the root of some of these spirits as we deal with them. As we begin to take our place spiritually, we will be granted spiritual power to address these false positions in the Body of Christ.

We refuse to be an onlooker wondering what is happening in the season. We refuse to be a spectator, merely relegated behind the prophetic demands of our time. We will no longer be stopped or allow the enemy to use our soul to promote and project mandates that are in disagreement with the will and counsel of our heavenly Father on earth.

Hence, we are beginning to put in the required obedience and spiritual efforts needed to awaken our inner man to function in its full redemptive competence and beauty, which God originally intended. The Bible says though, the outer man may perish, the inner man is gaining strength, gaining life, gaining beauty day by day, and this is what we are about on the Portalsgate community. We are a voice assigned in this hour to bring clear prophetic insight, perspective, and directions for the course of heaven’s will and desire for the Body of Christ across the nations.

Friends and family, the Lord is coming with the voice and sound of his arch angels; the Lord is coming to our various locations in a new way. And on this mountain of his arrival, we are being demanded to break down every idol hindering us from beholding his beauty and glorious face.

We desire to see the power, beauty and Majesty of the Christ life still lucked within our spirit man manifest in his full strength and splendor. It is time to do away with the strongholds and false opinions built around our soul, preventing us from responding to the inner life of the Spirit. It’s time to surrender totally to the way and will of the Father for us.

It’s time to bring ourselves to the cross, even as we seek to follow Christ. Only through the resident power and authority of the cross can the inner life of Christ in the believer’s spirit come forth to benefit him, the Body of Christ, and his generation. When we present ourselves before the Cross, our spirit man is empowered and strengthened with wisdom and grace, because the Cross and the spirit man are always in agreement.

The flesh, also known as the Soul-Man, does not desire the government of God due to its fallen nature. Your soul-life does not desire to see the glory of God, because the old carnal nature still influences it. It’s for this reason that every follower of Christ must love the cross. Only through the cross do we have the power that will allow us to fully enjoy the benefits of our redemption.

Beloved of the Lord, we deeply desire the knowledge of the glory of God to cover the earth, as the water covers the sea of our lives and nations, and can only become a reality when we bring ourselves to the place of death. Life is birth out of death. Death to my old ways, passion, lusts, desire, and ambitions. When we bring ourselves to the Cross, when we take the posture of Isaac on the altar, who said to his father, Abraham, let your will be done in my life as it is done in heaven.

As we do this, we are regaining new life and power with God, just as Isaac regained new life with his Father. In this place of death by obedience, we regain new ascended vision, we regain new understanding with clearer perspectives for life and ministry. We are able to press forward into the higher dimensions of the glorious life in Christ without hindrance. Beloved Saints, we are now apprehending all that the father desires and ordained for us, even for this epic moment in history,

So, this is a call that we should respond to as the church, as the ecclesia of the Father, representing his order and government on earth. My fellow sojourners, this is the time to seek the Lord! This is the time to call upon the Lord while the Lord is near us.

This is the time to shy away from everything shameful, harmful, and sinful to the prophetic seed we carry on the inside for our time and the next generation if the Lord tarries. This is a sacred day! This is the day of the Lord, a day of his vengeance. This is the time to bring the flesh to the Cross, so that the life of God within us can bring healing and deliverance to the nations. It’s time to let the river of God within us flow out across the nations. It’s time to put an end to certain Satanic operations within homes, schools’ communities, and government institutions across the nations.

It’s time to shout down the walls of hate, pride, lust, oppression, rebellion, and self-will passions, controlling the minds of teens and millennials. It’s time to end the seasons of famine the ecclesia has been in for some time now. It’s time to call upon the Lord to send rain upon our lives and the nations. It’s time we close the dry wells and the dry clouds we call Churches.

It’s time to stop the entertainment spirit pervading the community of the Saints. Now is the time we return to seek the face of the Lord in the place of prayer, fasting, meditation, and rigorous studying of God’s word. It’s time we restore the priesthood of each believer again. It’s time we trim our lamps weak. It is time to rend our garments of false righteousness before the Lord.

To the shepherds, stop listening to the voice of the people for your gain. Listen to the voice and direction of the Lord. Judgement is coming, listen now to the pricking of your consciences before it’s too late. Stop fighting the voice and will of the Father just to make a good impression. The approval of men will not sustain you in this third day of the Spirit.

Judgement is coming. Change your mindset; change your lifestyle of self-choice and passion. Move away from passiveness into the sea of God’s cleansing life. Come and experience the Lord in a new way. Come, taste and see that the Lord is good. Let the eyes of your heart reopen to see the light of the Lord, so you may learn to choose the good way of the Lord.

It’s time you and I take our rightful place as God’s priests and Watchmen on the wall of our family and the nations. It’s time to bring a new concept and marching order towards the exodus of the people of God to his ordained Promised Land in the 21st century.

This is the hour to rebuild and restore the broken walls and burnt gates of both our family and societies. It’s time to advance the prophetic order of the Father, which has been relegated to an afterthought. This is the time, even as we take the posture of fasting, to realign our visibility across the realms of our society as the bearer of the light of the Gospel of Christ.

It’s time to start pulling down the walls of crimes and iniquities built to capture the soul of the nations, the wall of drugs, perversion, wickedness, and ungodly culture of hate and destruction across schools, streets, and the avenues of our inner cities. We now rise a holy cry against the voice of perversion and system of iniquity in government across Europe, America, Canada, Australia, and the continent of Africa.

We demand and command these evil voice and agents of darkness to be shut down in Jesus Christ’s name. We raise our voice and cry, redemption, redemption, over the nations. From my post here in Franschhoek, Western Cape, South Africa, we decree that the forces of hell will not prevail. The Lord of host is arisen in his holy indication against wickedness in our cities and government. The Lord is currently shaking every aspect of his Church until every doctrine and false belief is removed from her altar.

Yes, we can begin to move towards the position of Mount Zion, the place of perfected beauty, where nations are streaming to in this hour, in seeking for the law and Spirit of Yahweh. This is the day; this is the time of ascension towards the mountain of his presence and representation. This is the hour, let us not miss this moment, let us yield completely towards him, who is our eternal rock of all ages.

In the acknowledgement of what God is doing in this hour, let us surrender ourselves to the voice of the Holy Spirit rising deep within our hearts. Holy Spirit, grab hold of every aspect of our being, let our lives truly become the instrument in the hands of the Father in bringing forth his Redemption and restoration to His ecclesia and the nations.

This is a prophetic call-in response to the cry of creation. This is a Clarion call of the Spirit for you to respond to now. The Spirit and the bride say come Lord. Come Lord in your wisdom, glory, and power. Come and shake the foundations of many people and generation. Beloved, this is the day of the Lord; you’ve been invited to the table. It’s time to change your garment, less you be found wanting. It is time to undress yourself from the wineskin of yesterday’s emphasis; this is a new you are demanded to allow the Holy Spirit to prep you for your appearance before the Lord Jesus Christ. Hallelujah.
