When God Stretches Your Faith, like the Daddy Who Wants His Girl to Jump Further, Before He Catches Her

Noah and Joseph are good examples of how God often stretches our faith so that we’ll be stronger, and better prepared for the new season or position in which He wants to use us.

If your dad played the game with you, of holding his hands out while calling on you to jump, and then repeating it while standing further and further away, it may have built in you a strength that will push you to not fear when taking calculated risks. If the opposite has happened, in which your dad acted in a way that brought disappointment or distrust, it may influence your trust in God as a good Father. Marelize address this issue when she speaks about God stretching our faith to become stronger.

Desiring God, like When You See and Smell Grandma’s Pudding and You Can’t Think of Anything Else!

The Welsh Revival was preceded by a hunger for God and a desire to be bend by the Spirit of God. South Africa has recently gone through a tough time because of major protests and looting. In this time a video was shared on social media of workers at a shopping mall in South Africa, going down on their knees and lifting up their hands while the song ‘I surrender all to Jesus’ was playing. Marelize asks the question whether this is perhaps the start of God’s promised revival for South Africa and for Africa.

I Know My Redeemer Lives/Ek Weet My Verlosser Leef

Job, while facing death on all sides, and sitting on an ash heap scratching his sores, spoke about his Redeemer, using a Hebrew word that was foreign to him at that time, which means the one who takes back that which was lost, and makes free that which was bound. It was a prophetic declaration that Job needed at that time, which is also needed right now.

This radio talk includes a prophetic word in Afrikaans, and it features the Calamus Anointing Oil.

Do Not Fear / Moenie Vrees Nie

This is the Lord ‘s message in the context of what is happening in South Africa at the moment, with our beloved country going through devastation. it is the same message that God gave to Israel when she was going through a tough time.

When There’s yet Another Pamphlet at the Gate, It’s Time for the Spirit of Esther to Arise

During this time of the Pandemic, more and more people are loosing their jobs, and are trying to find alternative incomes. Therefore we are getting more pamphlets advertising small businesses at our gates, a sign of more households under stress to keep head above water. Then there are those who do have enough in the bank, but even with the best medical facilities available, it’s not enough to keep someone with a severe level of illness alive.

Due to so much uncertainty, people are open for God to speak into their lives, because it’s a matter of life and death, of literally not knowing what tomorrow may hold. It is in this time that God wants to use His loved ones as Esthers to stand in the gap, to see things in our everyday environment as opportunities, to carry and to pray for one another.

He Rejoices over You with Singing

The angels sang when God created the world. Moses experienced God as his strength and song when He delivered the Israelites from the Egyptians. The Psalmist experience God’s song with him in the night when he was in trouble.

God was also described by Zephaniah as a Singing Warrior, when God promised Israel in their distress, that He would be their Warrior, to fight for them, and that He would sing a song of joy over them.

May those who are going through testing times, experience Him as their Warrior to fight for them. May they hear Him, when He sings His song of joy over them, as He blesses them with peace.

Be an Esther Where Fear Is Lingering/Wees ‘n Ester Waar Vrees in Die Lug Rondhang

As the number of people dying of Covid is rising around us, the level of fear in the atmosphere is rising.

The Jews were also in great fear when they heard about the decree against them, that they would all be killed in one day. But because of Esther’s intercession, they were all saved. We as humans, also has a death decree against us, by the one who steels, kills and destroys. As Christians, we can find guidance through the way that Ester interceded for her people, in how we should stand in the gap, praying for a change in our atmosphere of fear.

Marelize shares on how to prayer walk your neighborhood and at places where great fear is lingering, as one of the ways in which we can change the atmosphere of fear.

Declare Life When Death Wants to Sit on Your Stoep/Spreek Lewe Wanneer Dood Op Jou Stoep Wil Kom Sit

At the moment with the Covid 19 Pandemic still in our midst, many of us are experiencing death on various levels of life. Marelize uses Jacob as an example, and how God ministered to him, when his mother’s nurse, the only living link with his already diseased mother, passed away. It is about reminding yourself and reminding God of His promises over your life, and about speaking words of life from the Bible into various circumstances, also when someone close to you passes away.

The Joneses from Next Door/Die Jansens van Langsaan

Just as the Israelites were influenced by the nations around them, we as Christians, are often influenced by those around us, who aren’t Christians. We are called to be the salt of the earth. Salt is efficient in circumstance where there is no salt, an example of how we as Christians should make a difference where God has placed us amongst non-Christians.

Gideon was influenced by what he saw, and by the fear of those around him – the Israelites’ crops were being destroyed and their cattle were being stolen. But after the Spirit of the Lord came on Gideon, he lost all fear, and reacted with boldness. This is what we as Christians need, to become the influencers, instead of being influenced by the Joneses next door.

Guarding the Gates of Your Life

After Nehemiah had the walls and the gates restored in Jerusalem, the place that God chose for His temple and His presence, Nehemiah’s order was that the gates would be guarded carefully, because of the enemy that was lurking on the outside. In the New Testament time in which we are, God calls our bodies the temple of God, the place where He wants to dwell.

Like the city, we also have gates in our lives , that need to be guarded. Marelize shares on the physical gates of our bodies, as the spiritual gates into our lives – of how it can be defiled, but also how it can be cleansed and healed, and be guarded, so that we can fulfill the plans that God has for us on the earth.
