Standing on the Shoulders of Those Who’ve Gone Before Us & Why We Need to Pray for America

Marelize uses the example of king Solomon, who accomplished great things because he stood on his father, David’s shoulders. The Lord has a plan for each family, giving them unique characteristics and abilities, to become part of God’s plan on earth. He often uses the father to speak words over his children regarding their future. These words are like seeds, which leads the child into the direction that God wants for that child.

Because our Enemy, the Devil knows that, he will do all to influence the father away from God’s plan, by either causing the father to become absent, or to react in ways which can cause hurt or disappointment in the child, which usually causes the child to react in a manner, which can cause him or her to move away from God’s plan. God may then use a spiritual father to fulfill that role, or He may use the grandfather, like He used the prophet Samuel as grandfather of Heman. Heman was appointed as musical leader in king David’s worship team, and also became king David’s personal prophet, and his sons David appointed to prophecy as musicians, in his worship team. Yet, Heman’s father was evil, and was not a good example to him. So Heman stood on the shoulders of his grandfather, to carry on with the fulfillment of God’s plan for that family.

America’s foundational fathers were Christians, whose dream it was to build a nation that will worship God. It is a leader and influencer nation, in whose DNA it is to influence the nations of the world. So whatever is happening in the USA, it will have an influence on the rest of the word, whether it is Godly, or Ungodly.

With the election, that happened a few days ago, votes are still being counted. IT IS TIME for Christians around the world, to pray that whatever the outcome, that the new Precedential leader, will stand on the shoulders of the foundational fathers, to carry forth the Christian principles that it was founded on, to become again the Godly influencer, to influence other nations of the world to become Godly. This will be the fulfillment of a dream in God’s heart, that all nations will stand before His throne to worship Him, when the books will be opened, according to Revelations.

Prov. 22:6 2 Chron. 5-7 1 Chron. 16 1 Chron. 25:5 2 Chron. 29

Yearning for His Presence

Marelize uses king Solomon’s initiation of friendship with God when he made the 1000 burnt offerings, and his encounter with God afterwards, as the foundation to share on the Christian’s yearning for God’s presence. This includes the critical times mentioned in the Bible, in which the we need to draw close to God to experience His presence, for us to be overcomers, especially in this time of the Covid 19 Pandemic. 2 Chron.1&2 Ps.43:8 Ps.21 Ps.42:5 Ps.63:1-3 Ps.27:3-6 Is.26:4-9 Amos 8:11-12 John 4:14

Surrendering Ownership to the Lord

God owns everything in the heaven and the earth. This includes what we own, and our income or salary. We are thus stewards over what He gives. A steward has the highest form of authority under a master, and has full responsibility of what belongs to the master. If we acknowledge God as owner of everything, and are faithful stewards, He will reward us. Marelize uses King David as example and the missionary who had his experience of surrendering his pineapple land to the Lord. She also shares about drawing up you own Quit Claim Deed to surrender all ownership to the Lord. 1 Chron. 29:11-13 Is. 40:22-24 Prov. 21:1 Acts 17:26 Matt. 25:20-21

Why on the Mountain, When You Can Pray in the Valley

Marelize shares about the spiritual significance of heights, as portrayed in the Bible – a place of God’s presence, of His dominion and His authority. She also gives testimony of her own mountain experiences. Exo.19, 27 Gen.22 Eze.17, 40-43 Jer.17:2 Ps.24

Only Move When You Hear the Sound in the Balsam Trees

This is a follow-up on the previous message about the Prophetic Voice, including the use of our voices in social media, and how our voices differ according to our callings and anointing. Marelize also shares on the importance of using our voice as His trumpet according to His guidance, like King David who asked the Lord about how his men ought to fight the enemy, and the nature of the balsam trees from where the Lord had said the sound would come to give David’s men the indication of when to attack. 1 Chr.14:8 Lev.26 Matt.12

Release of The Prophetic Voice Anointing Oil

God wants to use His sons’ and His daughters’ voices as trumpets to declare, to break open and to communicate His will, just like the silver trumpets and shofars were used for different purposes in the Bible. For the release of The Prophetic Voice Anointing Oil, Marelize shares on how the Lily of the Valley and Aloe contributes in its prophetic meaning, as ingredients of this new anointing oil. The release is accompanied by a prayer for the Holy Spirit’s anointing of lips and voices. Num.10 Ex.19 Is.49:2 Ecc.12:11 Hos.14:5 Prov.7:17 Heb.4:12 Jer.23:28-29 Ecc.5:2 Col.4:5-6 Eph.4:29

God Answering Prayer & The Harvest

Marelize shares her prayer experiences while she walked up Mount Kilimanjaro 7 years ago, and how God has been answering those prayers in the meantime. She also talks about the vision that she had on the mountain regarding the Great Harvest. This is about Christians drawing closer to God, moving into the Holy of Holies where God will share His heart for those who don’t know Him, of which the Great Harvest will be the outflow. The timing of this vision 7 years ago, co-insides with the beginning of the prayer initiative in South Africa called The Return. 2 Chr.2 Ps.42, 43 Hos.11

The Effects of Walking in the Anointing

This is a follow-up of the session Anointed, Consecrated & Empowered by Him. Marelize goes into more detail about the olive oil vision in Zec. 4 to describe the working of the Holy Spirit, and the need for an above-human level of functioning in the fulfillment of God’s dreams for us. The Holy Spirit’s anointing sets us apart, bringing healing, breaking the yoke, giving joy, is teaching us, and is leading us to drink from the fullness in His secret place. Ps. 36:7-9 1 John 2:27 2 Sam. 5:17 Is.10:27 2 Chron. 28:15 Eze. 16:8-9

Anointed, Consecrated & Empowered by Him

Our anointing as Christians, comes from Christ, the Anointed One. It enables us to know and discern the truth, to do even more than what Jesus did when He was on earth, and it empowers us with strength and ability on a level above the human level. Marelize also discusses the different types of anointing mentioned in the Bible, and the use of anointing oil, based on the Word of God. 1 Sam.2:10 Gen.28:18 Ex.28:41 2 Cor.1:21,22 1 John 2:20,27 John 14:12-17 Zec.4:6
