WE INVITE YOU TO THE EVENT OF THE YEAR! YOUR LIFE AS YOU KNOW IT NOW, WILL NEVER BE THE SAME AFTER YOU TASTE SOME OF THIS NEW WINE, SERVED TO YOU BY ANOINTED, HOLY GHOST FILLED WORD & WORSHIP LEADERS
The Lord gave Johan Fourie from God with Us Ministries a vision in 2003 about awesome worship events to be held, filled with joyous worship, His children ministering unto Him 24 hours a day like the sons of Zadok. Since then Johan & Marié have moved and trusted the Lord for every step taken to make that happen. They firmly believe that God wants to manifest His fullness in and through all of His children through anointed Spirit-driven WORD, joyous WORSHIP and supernatural WONDERS.
“Thou wilt show me the path of life: in Thy presence is fullness of joy; at Thy right hand there are pleasures forevermore.” (Ps 16:11)
- BEN DUNN (http://www.joyrevolution.com/) & JOHAN FOURIE (www.godwithusmin.com/)
Benjamin & Stephanie Dunn carry the mystical phenomena of the Bliss of Salvation! They are two Jesus Lovers that travel around the world splashing the extravagant message of the Cross of Jesus Christ.
Benjamin & Stephanie had an awesome encounter with the Lord while they were hitchhiking and hopelessly wandering through out California. The Lord showed up mightily for them and forever captured their hearts.
Their obsession is to see people all over the earth collide with the greatest pleasure of all…JESUS! They are abundantly satiated with the fatness from the sacrifice of His house and he makes them to drink of the river called pleasure. Psalm 36:8
Through intimate, joyous, worship and a message of the incalculable, exhaustless, unsearchable riches of Jesus, Benjamin & Stephanie minister a massive drink of the Truth! God forbid that they boast about anything or anyone but the Cross of Jesus Christ!
Johan & Marié Fourie, are the founders of God With Us Ministries. He is anointed to minister the fullness of Jesus Christ. He has a passionate love for Jesus, the Word of God, and Spirit-driven revelation knowledge of the Word and that people should see Jesus in every Scripture and in every experience.
Besides discipling, going on outreaches and doing missionary work, and writing, Johan and his wife, Marié, ministers both locally and internationally, and have a vision to empower every member of the Body of Christ to come to the fullness and full stature of the indwelling Christ.
They firmly believe that God wants to manifest His fullness in and through all of His children through anointed Spirit-driven WORD, joyous WORSHIP and supernatural WONDERS.
We trust it will be the first of many anointed and awesome WWW conferences.

For with God nothing shall be impossible. Luke 1:37
|
| Well of Wisdom |
| Saturday morning Johan read Luke 1 and received the following revelation. Like Mary believed that nothing is impossible with God and received the seed of Jesus in the flesh, to be able to birth Him, you and I carry the same incorruptible seed (1 Pet 1:23) within us in Spirit form: Jesus Christ within!When you are born again, you start manifesting and birthing the seed, Jesus Christ, which is within you! How do you manifest Him? By feeding the seed of Jesus Christ within with the water bath of the Word (Jesus Himself) until the seed becomes a mighty tree of faith and the full stature of Jesus Christ is manifested (Eph 4:13), through the gifts and fruit of the Spirit, through signs, wonders and miracles and through an abundant life (John 10:10)..
Like Mary sang over the holy seed within her and magnified the Lord (Luke 1:46-55), the Holy Spirit within cries out, and creation waits in earnest expectation (Rom 8:19) for you to start manifesting the full stature of Christ and to let the Christ-like life flow through you through Jesus Christ living in us. Does your soul sing over the incorruptible seed of Jesus Christ within?
Paul said he travailed in birth until Christ be formed in believers (Gal 4:19). Likewise you and I have to travail until Jesus Christ be fully formed in us, and other believers, and manifested through us and other believers. Do you labor and strive, preach, warn and teach yourself and every man in all wisdom, so that you may present yourself and every man perfect in Christ Jesus? (Col 1:28-29) |
| Today’s Faith Action |
| Make time to read and meditate on Luke 1 and let your soul sing over Him that lives within you, and who wants you to manifest His fullness and full stature! |

So keep in mind where you were at first, and be changed in heart and do the first works; or I will come to you, and will take away your light from its place, if your hearts are not changed. Rev 2:5
Do you remember the time after you made Jesus Christ the Lord of your life? That zeal, tenderness, love, peace, seriousness and earnest prayers? Do you remember the first love He has placed in your heart, that one thing that you wanted to do for Him with everything within you?
What occupies your thoughts now when you begin a new day? What things in your life takes up most of your time and energy? Is it the first works He has placed in your heart, or the cares of the world (Mark 4:19)? Have you perhaps allowed the cares, disappointments and painful experiences to steal your zeal, your vision and calling?
On Saturday afternoon, we attended a meeting held by Angus Buchan, of the film Faith Like Potatoes (of which more than 330 000 DVD’s were sold in the United States alone), in Worcester where 20 000 people attended. What an awesome sight to see so many people for the first time publically declaring Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior!
Oom Angus, a farmer, is a perfect example of someone who kept following his calling of a evangelist and doing the first works, even amidst personal tragedy in his family early in his life. Who would have known he would turn the men in South Africa around, minister worldwide and attract 200 000 men (Mighty Men Conference April 2009) and 400 000 men (as expected for the last Mighty Men Conference to be held in Greytown in 2010)? But he was faithful in the least (Luke 16:10) and more than 40 years later, close to 70, his harvest is evident for all.
Friends of ours blessed us with tickets and we, in turn could bless 3 of our young disciples Gerald, Janine and Frenelee, with tickets for the event. They testified this morning what a blessing it was, and how the Lord spoke to each of them.
While worshipping with thousands of others, amidst the crowd, totally focused and in his own world, a little boy (with the orange t-shirt on the picture above) playing with a stone, caught Johan’s attention - he was oblivious of everything around him, and occupied with one thing only - playing with this stone. Are your attention focused on that one thing, doing that first works, and do you sometimes choose to be oblivious of every negative thing coming against you and your calling?
Is there a song or a book in your heart that is not written yet? Is there a loved one that does not know Jesus yet? Is there a husband of wife still to be met, or a child still to be born? Is there a passion or longing to bring the Gospel to a nation or people somewhere on earth? Whatever the Lord has placed in your heart, keep your vision and calling, return to your first love and first works. As you are faithful in the the small things (Matt 25;21), God will work with you (Mark 16:20) and multiply it far above your wildest imagination!
Take time today to go and write down or review that what the Lord has placed in your heart, and make a commitment to keep your vision and calling.

One thing I have desired from Jehovah, that I will seek after: that I may dwell in the house of Jehovah all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of Jehovah, and to pray in His temple. Psalm 27:4
Are you experiencing difficulty with dealing with disappointments, hurt, painful experiences, etc that happened in the past, or even sins you committed yesterday, and does it hinder your boldness and moving on to a life filled with joy and happiness? The answer lies in Phil 3:14: “…but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before…” And what are the things which are before? The high calling which is to be found in only one thing: Jesus Christ and Him in you (Heb 3:1).
Don’t camp around your sins, failures, pain, etc or allow the enemy to accuse you. Choose to believe your Heavenly Father by looking away from everything that distracts you and focusing on Jesus (Heb 12:1-2) Don’t see yourself and all your failures and sins when you look in the mirror, but behold Jesus Christ and you will be changed from glory to glory(2 Cor 3:18). Decide today to accept the fact that you are a new creation and the day you were baptized one new man/woman in Christ was born: fully holy, fully sanctified and fully empowered and sealed by the Holy Spirit and Christ within!
Jesus came to earth for one thing: to die on the Cross for you and me so that we can be set free and have eternal life. By His own blood He entered only once, to obtain redemption for you and me, and by that one thing, that one offering, He perfected and sanctified you and me forever! (Heb 9:12, 10:10,14)
The one thing we, as His Body, can all focus and agree upon, by putting away all theological differences, is Jesus Christ (Heb 12:1-2), the wisdom and power of God. This one thing alone will bring unity, oneness and make us of one mind, allowing us to walk by the same rule (Phil 3:15-16)
On a more personal level, there is one thing, one passion and calling God has placed in your heart. Follow and pursue that one thing with all your might - the accomplishment thereof will bring fulfillment and joy untold, not just to you personally, but to multitudes of people.
Embrace your new man/woman in Christ today and make a firm resolve to focus on Jesus Christ, and not on your own failures and disappointments.

Man cannot discover new oceans unless he has courage to lose sight of the shore. - Anonymous -
Vision is the art of seeing the things that are unseen. People perish due to a lack of vision and revelation (Pro 29:18). By knowing Jesus you have been set free to think and see higher, to lift your vision higher and to focus on Jesus (Heb 12:1-2) and the awesome things He can do. Look away from yourself, and distractions and impossibilities and become more God- conscious.Learn to stretch, to reach out where God is. Expand your horizons and involve yourself with something that is bigger than yourself, that one thing, that first love, that God has placed in your heart. He is the God of impossibilities and He will stretch you and help you accomplish things far above all you can think or pray (Eph 3:20).
God desires that you run with the vision and calling in your life, because He knows what is best for you. Only when you live and fulfill the vision, passion and calling He has placed in your heart, will you experience true fulfillment, peace, happiness and a life in abundance (John 10:10).
Don’t settle for second best or a mediocre life - Run your race and go for the Heavenly GOLD! You can do it! For God is with you and on your side and He will make a way! The cloud of witnesses are cheering you on (Heb 12:1-2) and we are cheering you on…
Jesus invites you today: “Come and walk on the water with Me… You will not fail! ”
Make time today to become quiet and to ask God to stir you up with new passion for the vision He has placed in your heart, and the wisdom how to accomplish it.

God’s plan is to make known His secret to His people, this rich and glorious secret which He has for all peoples. And the secret is that Christ is in you, which means that you will share in the glory of God. Col 1:27 (GNB)
Last week we meditated on the words in Him and what we have in Him. This week it comes closer to home as we meditate on what dwells in us, and more specifically in you.
Do you know and believe with your whole heart that Christ, (in all His splendour, power and might), the Hope of glory dwells in you? (Col 1:27) Sometimes it is amazing and mind-boggling to think that the great Creator of heaven and earth dwells in you and me! If we are honest we have to acknowledge the fact that sometimes when we look at ourselves and our struggles in a human way, it nearly feels and seems impossible and untrue.
That is because we start to focus on ourselves and our difficulties instead of focusing on the One who dwells in us, who is Jesus, the Word… In times like that we have to lift our vision higher and heed the invitation in Revelation 4:1 to come up higher and to think, seek and set our affection on the things above (Col 3:1-3), because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world (1 John 4:4).
But there is infinitely more! Not only does Christ dwells in you, but the Holy Spirit also dwells in us, in you and me!(Romans 8:9,11) Your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit which is in you (1 Cor 6:19). The Kingdom of God is in you (Luke 17:21). The anointing which you received from Him, and who teaches you, abides in you (1 Jn 2:27). The Word of God, which is Jesus Christ, abides in you (1 John 2:14). Everlasting life abides in you (2 Cor 4:12). God’s mercy dwells in you, in your heart which has become the mercy seat of God as He does not dwell in temples made with hands, but in you and me (Acts 7:48).
What does other people see in you? Can they see the fullness of Christ, the Hope of Glory, life, fruit, the Word of God, the anointing, the Kingdom of God, the power and mercy of God flowing from within you?
Remind yourself and proclaim every morning as you wake up this week, that Christ, the Hope of Glory, dwells in you. Also share it with other fellow believers, either personally or by forwarding this message.

Posted by Marie under: Prophecy.
I can still remember the first time I received a personal prophecy from an anointed man of God. Out of a crowd of about 1500 people, without knowing us at all, he singled us out where we sat right at the back of the auditorium, and blessed us with a wonderful prophetic word of the Lord, so accurate and applicable to our lives. Growing up in a traditional church, the gifts of the Holy Spirit were totally foreign to me. To this day, nearly 13 years later, I still remember that prophecy. Who of us can not immediately recall a prophetic word that has blessed and encouraged us? If we, as believers, stand in awe of a prophetic word in season, how much more will unbelieving people in the world be blessed with a God who knows the intimate details of their lives?
Contrary to the belief amongst some Christians that prophecy is only meant for believers, God wants to use the prophetic in the lives of unbelievers too, as He used Joseph in the life of an unbelieving king, Pharaoh.Prophetic evangelism is defined as a personal word of wisdom and knowledge about the past, present or future, imparted to unbelievers, and often lead to opportunities to evangelize them. God can use believers like you and me, to impart it, or He can impart it directly to the unbeliever,eg Jesus appearing to Muslim people.
Prophetic evangelism is not just for a few elect prophets, but is another powerful tool for any believer wanting to share the message of salvation with the world. If we ask God to use us and declare ourselves available, He will use you and me to reach the world. You may be a bit hesitant and perhaps immediately decide this is not for you. Many believers testify that they thought they could not prophesy, until they started using the gift with unbelievers. Then they suddenly realised they could, and so can you and I! Remember, Paul encouraged us in 1 Cor 14 to desire to prophesy, more than any other spiritual gift. Do not feel intimidated - all of us are called to be His witnesses, to be salt and light and to spread the message of hope and salvation wherever we go.10 good reasons to start using prophetic evangelism
- It is a method used in the Bible by men like Joseph, Elijah, Peter, Paul, etc.
- Jesus used it with Peter (Luke 5:1-11), Zacchaeus (Luke 19:1-10).
- We have the power and the ability to do it (Acts 1:8)
- It speaks to and softens peoples’ hearts towards the Gospel.
- It penetrates the defences people put up against God, for it cannot be explained logically. They know it is supernatural.
- God takes the initiative, and we followe His leading. He knows who are ready and what they need to hear to open up their hearts.
- It exposes secret sins, habits, fears, and hurts and bring it into His light.
- It penetrates a person on all 3 levels: spirit, soul and body: a hostile mind, a stubborn will and hard heart, and a unbelieving spirit. It creates a spark of light in their spirit because they realise God is both alive and personal and cares about them.
- It is what God is saying and is part of His plan for His Body on earth. In a time like this people need a supernatural word from God.
- It cuts across and exposes the wrong places people are looking for answers, eg mysticism, etc, and grabs their attention.
How do I become a prophetic evangelist?
- Make evangelism a personal priority and cultivate compassion for the lost - look at every person with mercy and compassion, reminding yourself that you could be the only one standing in the gap for that lost soul. As ou start to intercede and develop a compassion for the lost, the opportunities for prophetic evangelism will increase.
- Ask God and desire to become more prophetic, attend prophetic conferences and read books. As you learn more and read the wonderful testimonies, your faith will rise up and you will be able to say: I can do it!
- Maintain a state of being sensitive and open to the leading of the Holy Spirit.
- When you feel the prompting, be obedient.
- Practice by ministering to believers first, in a safe environment - be honest and open and trust God that He is speaking through you.
- Do not let the enemy stop you - remember, boldness has a great reward, and the blessing you will experience will far outweigh you feelings and fear of making a mistake!
- Keep you heart and life pure and humble - as we grow in the prophetic it is very easy to start feeling pride and become almost blase about hearing God’s voice 100% accurate all of the time. We are human and are fallible, and will make mistakes; but God’s grace far outweigh those mistakes, and He wants you to step out in faith even if you make mistakes, rather than never doing something for fear of making mistake! As the saying goes, those who want to walk on water must get their feet wet.
Remember, we have a cloud of witnesses cheering us on (Heb 12:1-2), God is on our side, the Holy Spirit is leading us - we have only to boldly step out and open our mouths. Let us decide today to enter every public place with a sense of expectancy and obedience that God is going to use us to touch the hearts of people!

In our last e-Zine we shared about the dream Johan had.
About 3 weeks later we had approximately 500 mm of rain in 3 days, which lead to extensive flooding and damage on several farms. We were again reminded of this dream and stood in awe of the power of water that takes away everything in its path. The Spirit revealed to us that this physical rain and floods were symbolical of what the Lord is doing spiritually - washing away all false doctrine, strongholds and unbelief and making a way for His mighty River of Living Water!
As soon as the water started subsiding, Johan had a powerful conviction to do a prophetic action, i e doing a physical action that will have profound spiritual meaning. As God has used prophets, God has never just given they fiery words to say, God has given them graphic symbols to display - walking around naked to display the shamefulness of God’s people, wearing an ox yoke to symbolize the burden God’s people were placing on others, Hosea marrying a prostitute as a way to convey God’s love of Israel the whore, and so on.
One Saturday morning we donned our hiking boots, armed with 3 bottles containing pure olive oil, clean fountain water and a bottle of our hand-made red wine respectively, and a piece of bread, and went bundu bashing to the largest and highest lying dam on our farm.
There we broke the Bread, and took the Cup, and prayed and proclaimed healing, anointing and a fresh move of God’s Spirit all along the river as we emptied the water (His Living Water), the wine (His blood and redemption) and the oil (fresh anointing) into the river just below a waterfall originating from our dam.
We know that something has shifted in the spiritual realm.

2009 will a a year of being filled with and manifesting the Holy Spirit. It will be led by joy; the ushering in of Kingdom manifestations will be led by joy! Forget about all kinds of feasts and fables for there is only one feast: a Jesus feast, only one King, King Jesus!
2009 spells, no, it prophecies, speaks into being, yes 2009 speaks into being Joy, Joy, Joy unspeakable to the world, and peace on earth. A year where the Spirit of the living God is going to move as never before, in presence, in glory, in fullness, in awesome healings, in resurrections, harvest of souls, provision of joy, peace and righteousness, a Kingdom manifesting year.
Be ready to see God move, His Spirit is hovering over us, especially those that carry the Word, which is the water, the streams of living water. Joyous festive singing and dancing are to break loose later this year, undignified parties of the Holy Ghost kind. NO MORE wailing walls. The party has begun… in fact, it has already started 2000 years ago! We have been misled by religious demons (Heb 12:22-24 and Neh 8). Wash your faces and put on joy for your festive garments, it’s party time, lovers of Jesus! The Holy Ghost’s whirling and twirling of the heavenly kind (Seph 3:17) has started, don’t miss the trains and rivers of joy flowing from the east (the temple of God).
You, Beloved, are the temple of God, with your face turned fully to the east and flesh blinding rays of the Son (Ezek 47). It will overtake you, so be prepared to drown in the joys of Heaven, in the joy of your Father, rivers of Godly joy, Amazon rivers driving the sea of sin and wailing back hundreds of miles.. Put on your party shoes, put on your dancing shoes.
Let the joy of the Lord explode in you, through you.
Joy unspeakable and full of glory, joy, joy, joy, feasts of joy, no more wailing walls, but waves of joy and wonder and peace and provision.
The year of the Spirit in fruit, in gifts, in fullness, in peace, joy and righteousness!
The kingdom of peace, the kingdom of joy, and the kingdom of righteousness to manifest in all its fullness this year. Spirit of the living God, Holy Spirit, move your people with love feasts of joyous celebration this year!
It’s party time, no more tears, no more wailing, no more false emotional worship, it’s party time, Saints, let the joy of the Lord overflow from us to the lost, and let them be drawn like bees drawn to honey jars. Let the joy flow like heavenly honey from Father’s throne.
Make room, make room, bus loads, ships, oceans, terrestrial spaces in your minds and hearts for joyous feasts. The joy of the Lord is our strength in 2009, strengthen yourself with joy, let joy move your feet, set them a’dancin before your God with joy, joy, joy.
Father is setting up one or two places where joy, harmony and rhythm of the drums will lead some of the greatest worship ever with powerful instruments never seen or heard before. Leading from the southern tip of Africa. From the South, and the North every continent will follow after the example from Southern African drums, harmony and rhythm.
Joy to the world! The anointed drum, voices and worship drive out fear, demons of sickness and poverty, and spontaneously bring healing as well as peace and righteousness…all three together will testify of the awesome power and fullness of our God and the resurrection power of the Holy Spirit!
I speak joy, proclaim joy into hearts and places where there is no joy, peace into every situation on earth, as in heaven so on earth.
Great feasts of Joy, peace that surpasses all understanding, oneness in Jesus Christ our Lord, who died for all.
Where there is tribulation, I speak peace, joy and righteousness – the manifestation of the Kingdom of God in His fullness, where there’s end time tribulation expectation, I call the perfection of God. I call encouragement, edification, building up, no fear of tribulation, of rumours of wars and temples and feasts and keeping of ritual and fables and the like. I call as it is in heaven so on earth, I proclaim the favourable year of the kingdom of God: Peace, Joy and Righteousness in the Holy Ghost.
What we pray and what we say, is what we proclaim this year, and what we will receive. Do not proclaim stale doctrines of places and lightweight signs, but only one sign: Jesus the only sign – the sign of Jonah, no other sign is of any worth! I call the Kingdom of joy, peace and righteousness to manifest, to drive out the kingdom of tribulation, sickness and death out in the Name of Jesus. As it is in heaven, so we pray in the Name of our Father and His Son, Jesus Christ with the full manifestation and resurrection power of the Holy Ghost.
It’s time! It’s time, My Sons and Daughters, to take over the whole earth so that peace, joy and righteousness may manifest on this earth - not wars, rumours of wars. Let My Kingdom come, My kingdom of peace, joy and righteousness. It is time, it is take over time, let it flow, let it flow, let it show! Let peace reign, let sickness and death vanish in righteousness! No more manmade kings or kingdoms, but the King of kings and the Kingdom of His peace must manifest - let it manifest, let it manifest!
The essence of the Kingdom message is that it must be manifested now, and that it will determine your reward (which is Godly works) - theology and doctrines will be destroyed by fire when Jesus comes. Therefore you have one chance to add to your talents (Kingdom talents) of righteousness, joy and peace, and the time is now - not for someday or for the rapture, but right here and now. God is challenging you and me to manifest as His sons and daughters right now!
Run like Paul, focus on Jesus Christ and the Cross, punch to make a difference for the Kingdom, out of a position of resting in Him, and His Spirit flowing through you effortlessly! Let His streams of living water gush forth effortlessly!

During April we attended a conference on the Father’s Love hosted by Peter and Heather Jackson in Shaftesbury, Dorset. What a special time for spirit, soul and body…
We were a small group of about 25 from all ages, walks of life and even different coutries. For us it was a special time of being pampered in His love, as well as having time to fellowship with and minister to brothers and sisters in Christ. Again and again we realised, that no matter if you’ve been a Christian for 2 or for 50 years, we never seem able to really grasp the depth of God’s unconditional love for us. We need to be reminded of it and immersed in His liquid love to grasp His heart for His children. He really took us to His banqueting house and His banner over us was love, love, love… (Song of Solomon 2:4).
Only when we have experienced it, we will be able to be channels through which His love can flow to a lost and broken world. Our Daddy is so full of grace and tender compassion and during this special time of coming apart and focussing totally on Him, He confirmed His purpose for our lives and ministered to us in a profound way.
We all need this time of coming apart, away from all that distract us from our Father’s love for us and His purpose for our lives…
