Written in these pages is not doctrine or dogma. It is neither intended as an in-depth history nor a philosophical lesson. This is but a burning cry for the true Bride to awaken from her slumber, to reflect on times gone past, and to consider her foundations. We need to wake up for today's new brand of Christianity is a different gospel and is targeting thousands of the younger generation with a so-called hip, cool, experiential spirituality, much of which is embracing a form of mysticism and ecumenical philosophy of uniting people from all faiths to work together and bring about a new world of peace and harmony.

If we look at the world today, then faith is under fire. This world will continue to self-destruct as it continues on a path hell-bend on defying God. In our strength and wisdom, we shall flounder in this world of so much toil and danger. When we seek to rely on our counsel and knowledge, the waves and the rain will blind and lead us away from the light of God. This is not the time for true believers to be silent as we watch in horror as the world slides deeper into oblivion. All around us, it is a circus of chaos, where people are entrapped by fantastical and strange ideas, dreams, ambitions and desires. It is a world of drugs, sorcery, and greed, and where people are more inclined to believe in aliens and zombies than in the existence of a God. For many, it is the New Age world of the metaphysical as we believe we are gods and captains of our ships. We ignore God at our peril, for He is real, and yes, He is a God of incredible love and beauty, yet He shall also not be mocked. It is time to wake up, to seek Him, for time is running out.

There is a fire on the mountain. It is a wildfire of apostasy tearing through the church, fuelled by idolatry. It is because of the winds of false doctrine that this wildfire keeps spreading, and it has been causing massive damage for hundreds of years to the church. Yet the fire is not being checked, addressed, or effectively extinguished by believers. The fire of apostasy has been receiving plenty of fuel for the last 1800 or so years to be a raging inferno. Yes, there is a profane fire burning on the altars build on the spiritual high places. An increasing level of idolatry and spiritual apostasy plagues the world and the church. The fire of idolatry has swept through churches for a long time, consuming and destroying. It is the profane fire. An unholy fire. Who shall contain the fire? It is time for the church to earnestly address idolatry in her midst, for idolatry is an abomination in the eyes of God. God alone shall be worshipped. He should be our highest devotion and our heart’s desire above all. Idolatry is not a trivial matter, as Israel discovered. God is calling for concerted and real action from the church to address idolatry, for our God is a jealous God, and He is an all-consuming fire. He must be our First Love, nothing else, and certainly no one else, including the self.

The Bible is an epic masterpiece. There is a continuous flow to the Bible, and it does flow like a story. It is God’s story, told through numerous characters, events, adventures, trials, tribulations, and situations. There is nothing grander or more splendid than God’s story! This book is not a comprehensive study of the Bible, therefore, it is not a blow-by-blow account of every book and every story. Rather, it is a sweeping glance at what the Bible offers. We can only know the heart of God, who God truly is and understand His commandments, His teachings, His truths and values when we study and know the Word. The Bible is truly God’s Word and should shape our lives daily. If one reads the Bible as led by the Spirit, without a preconceived bias for finding errors or based on one’s education or understanding, one will find it to be a coherent, consistent, and relatively easy-to-understand book of God. It is the Truth, and so it is the light and lamp unto our feet and path. The Bible must be treated by disciples as all-sufficient and inerrant (without error) to lead us, guide us, teach us and show us the way and the will of God. The Word of God is real, alive, and powerful and the final authority on God’s will. As believers of God, we must know the Word, study it, love it, cherish it and abide by it for it is the source of eternal life, faith, salvation, freedom, spiritual food, growth, blessedness, purity, guidance, comfort, spiritual victory, assurance and of joy. May we know it to find our purpose and the meaning of life according to a great and awesome God.

The words “Let My people go” have echoed in my spirit for many years now, dating back to the early 2000s. The words date back to Israel’s bondage while staying in Exodus. God chose Moses to speak to the Pharaoh to let His people go to worship Him. The children of God are of course not living under the rule of a Pharaoh, but over the years I was made to understand there are many spiritual pharaohs, Sadducees and Pharisees in churches who are holding God’s children in bondage. They do so by spinning their web of lies, enslaving instead of empowering. They rule and lord, instead of making true disciples who follow not them but only Jesus. The subtitle to this book is ‘Exodus out of Religious Entrapment’. As explored in many of my other books, especially in the Perilous Times series, we follow not a religion, but a faith. And such faith is based on a relationship with a living and loving God. God is calling us to come out of religion, meaning the man-made rules, programmes, ideas, traditions and agendas as formulated by man. Religion ultimately enslaves and dethrones, while a relationship with God empowers and enthrones, meaning we learn to be true children of God. The religion we know as Christianity, or more correctly Churchianity, has sadly morphed into a pseudo-religion of new-age teachings saturated with occult and selfish desires and ambitions. Apostasy lurks around every corner and in the shadows of the pulpit. When we fall into the pitfalls of religion we then choose a path of entrapment and slavery. It is time to come out of such enslavement and into the glorious liberty of Jesus. Yes, it is time to let God’s people to go so they may worship Him in Spirit and Truth!

When Jesus departed to be with His eternal Father, He gave the church (the ecclesia) a clear mission statement in Matthew 28, which speaks of the Great Commission. And what is the Great Commission, therefore, the mission? Go and make disciples so that the world may be told of Jesus and, therefore, be saved. Some will say some translations never speak of making disciples, but rather to teach all nations, “baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost”. But is the purpose of teaching the nations of Christ not to make disciples? If one teaches someone about Jesus, you are surely equipping them to be a follower of Jesus. And such a follower is a disciple. We are called in God's wisdom and by His Spirit to teach all people about Jesus, for the purpose of making disciples. It doesn’t happen automatically. It will take a concerted and decisive effort of the Bride of God. Time is, however, slipping away to get our house in order with God, and now is the time to do so. We are living in the last days, and the day of the Lord’s coming is at hand. Billions of people are still lost in every city, town, and village across the world. There is no more time to be playing church or to be consumed with our agendas. We need to come into alignment with God, seek Him, and be awake from our slumber. The church has been slumbering for a long time, lulled into sleep by a false sense of security, peace and a sense of accomplishment. Yet there is a mission to complete, which is the Great Commission. It is God’s mission of bringing in the harvest of the lost and broken. Now is the time to get busy with God’s business, and His business is about salvation, redemption and restoration. The call to the church to actively engage in this mission, therefore, to make the main thing the main thing, is covered in volumes one and two.

If we look at the life of Moses, we find numerous spiritual lessons that will benefit any disciple of Jesus. Is his life important? Most assuredly, as this volume of work explores. He was a murderer, yet God used him mightily. He was almost killed as an infant, yet survived to do great things for God, leading a life of worth and value for 120 years. He survived the harshness of two wilderness journeys, totalling 80 years, and rightly takes his place, even though human, as one of the great heroes of the Bible. Moses as a prophet played a vital role in pointing towards the life and the ministry of Jesus. Moses is of great importance in the Bible for he is recognised as a deliverer (Exodus 3:7–10), covenant mediator (Exodus 34:27), priest (Psalm 99:6), and ruler (Exodus 2:13–14; Acts 7:27). Moses's larger-than-life status as prophet was designed by God as a template from which all other prophets would be measured. Enjoy this journey as covered in volumes one and two to know more about Moses, and how we can spiritually grow on our journey with God.

Several years ago, the Lord spoke clearly in my spirit about the intense season the Church is about to face. At the time I understood this will not be a short season, but might very well run until He comes. In this time, we are trusting in the Lord for the end-time revival but make no mistake, times are going to be brutal for those who follow God. As a confirmation of this reality, God in 2024 spoke of the bulls of Bashan. As I sought the Lord on this truth, I became acutely aware of the incredible dangers that await those who wish to stand with God. In Psalm 22:12 David, in his distress, laments, “Many bulls surround me; strong bulls of Bashan encircle me.” The picture of being surrounded by angry bulls, intent on goring and trampling their victim, is fearful indeed. Trouble was near, and there was no one to help him (Psalm 22:11). Despite these fearsome circumstances, David knew that God was not far off. God could deliver David’s soul from these threats. God is raising an end-time remnant for a time such as this. They obey God and not man. They fear not the devil. They listen to God, follow His truth and seek His will. They dismiss the devil’s lies and choose to stand with the Light as darkness continues to intensify upon the earth. Yes, they shall overcome the bulls of Bashan (demonic and worldly threats and dangers). This end-time remnant is facing extreme attack, and I believe more than ever since the resurrection of Jesus. Ultimately, if we as children of God want to survive the bulls of Bashan – the spiritual and the physical ‘giants’ - we need to abide in the Lord. We need to remain connected to the Vine (John 15). We need to become true disciples, grow up in the Spirit, and grow in God’s wisdom, truth and knowledge. If we are not grounded in the Lord, we will be swept away by the storms and be gorged by the bulls. After all, these bulls are waiting for an opportunity to strike. It is critical to remain connected to God, for then we are connected to life, hope, vision, joy and life!

Volumes one and two of Revival and Awakenings (part of the End-Time Series) explore what is a real revival and a spiritual awakening. Prophetically, it delves into what God has been saying for a long time, which is that the Lord will sweep the earth with revival in the end times which will ignite many followers with His holy fire. What will this revival look like? This is the big question, and one would rather say it will not be a singular event, but a sequence of Godly movements across the globe that will be infectious, contagious and real. In an awakening, the Holy Spirit gives unbelieving people - who are dead in their trespasses and sins -a new awareness of their needs. A revival is connected to the people of God and it is when those who are in churches - those who are professing believers - are ministered to by the Holy Spirit in such a way that they are renewed in their devotion to the Lord. The time is ripe for the one final great harvest, yet this calls for the revived church, full of the fire of the Holy Spirit, to go into the fields, to awaken the lost and the forgotten and broken, and to bring them into the loving embrace of a God who is full of compassion, grace and mercy. This is the time of spiritual latter rains, and now is the time to welcome the embrace of a God who is real, alive, and who calls us all into His arms to reflect His beauty and greatness. It is not God’s Will that any soul should perish, but that all men should come to the knowledge of God and be saved. God is calling on all believers to cast their net in the deep for the harvest of souls.
