John 16: 13-14

13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.

14 He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you.

Acts 6:2, 3, 5

2 Then the twelve called the multitude of the disciples unto them, and said, It is not reason that we should leave the word of God, and serve tables.

3 Wherefore, brethren, look ye out among you seven men of honest report, full of the Holy Ghost and wisdom, whom we may appoint over this business. 5 And the saying pleased the whole multitude: and they chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Ghost, and Philip …

Acts 8:26-30, 35

26 And the angel of the Lord spake unto Philip, saying, Arise, and go toward the south unto the way that goeth down from Jerusalem unto Gaza, which is desert.

27 And he arose and went: and, behold, a man of Ethiopia, an eunuch of great authority under Candace queen of the Ethiopians, who had the charge of all her treasure, and had come to Jerusalem for to worship,

28 Was returning, and sitting in his chariot read Esaias the prophet.

29 Then the Spirit said unto Philip, Go near, and join thyself to this chariot.

30 And Philip ran thither to him, and heard him read the prophet Esaias, and said, Understandest thou what thou readest?

35 Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same scripture, and preached unto him Jesus.

• Lord, help me and cause me to be sensitive to the prompting of the Holy Spirit.
• Lord, help me not to ignore what seems to be small leading of the Holy Spirit. May I not use head knowledge to rationalise the things the Holy Spirit is saying to me or bringing me into.

• Help me to take the leadings of the Holy Spirit seriously.
• Holy Spirit, on every of Your instructions please be specific with me
• Help me not to see how big the task is but help me to know that You are always willing to help me accomplish it, when I obey and step out in faith.
• Lord, please grant me the grace not to delay in carrying out your assignment . Cause me to be swift/ prompt with all Your instructions.
• Help me to be diligent and committed to the study of Your Word. Make me a person of the Word.
• Whatever opportunity You are bringing my way, Lord, please help me to key into them properly. May I not be slothful in my ways
• Keep me in constant communion with the Holy Spirit.

Acts 8: 39-40

39 And when they were come up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip, that the eunuch saw him no more: and he went on his way rejoicing.

40 But Philip was found at Azotus: and passing through he preached in all the cities, till he came to Caesarea.

Revelation Knowledge

Join this HeartCry Prayer- Every Saturday 10.30pm-1.30am (UK time)


Revelation Knowledge is the knowledge that comes from the Spirit of God as He breathes upon the pages of Scripture.

Proverbs 29:18 (NKJV)

Where there is no revelation, the people cast off restraint. 

• Revelation knowledge unstops deaf ears and opens a man’s eyes to see what happened to him when Christ died on the cross – 1 Corinthians 15:8.
• Revelation knowledge brings divine encounters and FULL SALVATION.
• Revelation knowledge gives us boldness to live out the Word and preach the Word so that by our lives, the Father will glorify His Son.

Thank the Lord for the Holy Spirit, our Helper, Who brings revelation knowledge of the Word to us.

Revelation knowledge only comes to those who hunger for it.

Proverbs 2:3-6 (NIV) 
- indeed, if you call out for insight and cry aloud for understanding, and if you look for it as for silver and search for it as for hidden treasure, then you will understand the fear of the Lord and find the knowledge of God. For the Lord gives wisdom; from his mouth come knowledge and understanding.

Prayer

• Lord, I am calling out for insight and crying aloud for understanding. It is from Your mouth that knowledge and understanding comes. Please give me insight into Your Word and understanding of Your will and Your way.
• Grant that I will understand the fear of the Lord and find the knowledge of God.
• Give me a continuous and deeper revelation of what happened to me on the cross when Christ was crucified. Keep me knowing Romans 6:6.
• Give me a revelation of the heart of Jesus.
• Make me persistent and hungry for Your Word. I know that if I keep asking, seeking and knocking in the secret place, the door will be open to me.

Revelation knowledge lifts the veil.

2 Corinthians 3:14b
...the veil is taken away in Christ.

2 Corinthians 3:16-18

Nevertheless when one turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away.  Now the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord.

Thank the Lord that the veil has been taken away in Christ.

Prayer

• Lord, establish me inside Christ.
• Please put a finger on anything that will not allow me to turn to You so that the veil can be taken away, and I will be quick to repent.
• Bring me into the liberty that the Spirit of the Lord gives, so that I can receive revelation knowledge that will transform me into Your image from glory to glory.

Revelation knowledge gives us eternal life.

2 Corinthians 3:4-6

And we have such trust through Christ toward God. Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think of anything as being from ourselves, but our sufficiency is from God, who also made us sufficient as ministers of the new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.

John 6:63

 It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life.

Prayer

• Lord, please let my interaction with Your Word be deep. I want to touch the Spirit Word.
• Deliver me from all that encumbers and give me grace to settle at Your feet.
• Open my eyes of understanding and grant me entrance to Your Word.
• Please breathe upon the Letter Word as I read and meditate. I plead with You to release the hidden meaning to me so that I can have life.

Any Truth of the Word that comes to us by revelation knowledge must be lived out and be real in our lives before we can declare it to others.

Prayer

• Cry out to God to write what we must know on our hearts so that the things that are true in Him will be true in us. 1 John 2:8.

Hymn

1. Lord in Thy presence we are met

A full salvation to proclaim

To testify of grace received

Or offered now in Jesus’ Name

Dear Lord to Thee our spirits cry

Our every longing satisfy.

2. We ask Thee Lord-for Thou art here-

Make this a Pentecostal hour,

When hungering souls from Thee receive

Pardon or purity or power;

Unstop deaf ears let blind eyes see.

Bring souls into Thy liberty.

3. Thou knowest sin-sick souls are here

Sick with depravity within

Restless discouraged wearied ones.

And Thou art here to cleanse from sin;

Oh! Speak the word “I will be whole”

And save and sanctify each soul.

4. Grant to Thy servants boldness now

That faithfully they speak the Word

By stretching forth Thy hand to heal

Let signs and wonders from the Lord,

Here in our midst to-day be done,

So Father glorify Thy Son.

5. We wait-according to Thy Word

Lord let it to Thy servants be

May nothing-self pride prejudice

Or unbelief-still hinder Thee

Blessed Spirit, have unhindered way

In yielded hearts and lives to-day.

Winepress of the Cross

Join this HeartCry Prayer- Every Saturday 10.30pm-1.30am (UK time)

New wine in biblical days was the fresh sweet wine obtained when grapes are trod upon, bruised and crushed in a winepress to extract the juice.  

It was the sweetest drink available, made from grapes from current year’s harvest. It was refreshing, plentiful (with vats full to overflowing) and intoxicating. The sweet aroma of grapes filled the air and it brought joy to the people.

Jesus Christ likened new wine to the dispensation of grace, in which He ministered among men through God’s Spirit in Him unlike the Pharisees. He said, “...no one puts new wine into old wineskins…” - Luke 5:37a.  

Concerning the ministry of Jesus, Matthew 9:35-38 records:

Then Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people. ³⁶ But when He saw the multitudes, He was moved with compassion for them, because they were weary and scattered, like sheep having no shepherd. ³⁷ Then He said to His disciples, “The harvest truly is plentiful, but the labourers are few.³⁸ Therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out labourers into His harvest.”

The situation of our generation is also dire. If we want to be among those labourers who carry the compassionate heart of Jesus; if we want to be among those labourers who, like Peter, rose up in the power of the Holy Spirit to preach Jesus and the people were cut to the heart saying, “Men and brethren, what shall we do?”, then we must pray to the Lord of the Harvest to lead us to the winepress of the cross from where He sends out His labourers:

• As ‘grapes’ to be bruised;
• As ‘grape tramplers’ to be used to bruise the head of the serpent. 

This is the only way fresh new wine can be produced from our lives; the kind that has the power to tear the veil of the flesh that blinds people from the truth of the gospel, and heal the world from the disease of sin. Jesus is not asking us to do what He has not already done. He was the first to report to the winepress of the cross where He was bruised in order to bruise the head of the serpent. On His cross, Gen 3:15 was fulfilled - “ He shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise His heel.”

Prayer

• Pray to the Lord of the harvest and ask Him to send us out as labourers into His harvest. Ask Him to lead us to the winepress of the cross every day – as ‘grapes’ and as ‘grape tramplers’ so that the new wine of the Holy Spirit can flow out from us into the world.

As Grapes

Example of Jesus:

Isaiah 53:5 (NKJV) - But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities;The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes we are healed.

Must Jesus bear the cross alone? 

And all the world go free?

No there’s a cross for everyone, 

And there’s a cross for me.

Example of the Apostles: The apostles knew that there was a cross for them so they reported to the winepress of the cross for their bruising - bruising of persecution for Jesus’ sake, bruising of trials and tribulations, bruising from a life of repentance.

2 Cor. 4:7-12 (NKJV)

But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellence of the power may be of God and not of us. ⁸ We are hard-pressed on every side, yet not crushed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; ⁹ persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed— ¹⁰ always carrying about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our body. ¹¹ For we who live are always delivered to death for Jesus’ sake, that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our mortal flesh. ¹² So then death is working in us, but life in you.

Prayer

• Open my eyes to see the treasure of Your divine life You suffered to give me.
• Help me to know that I must bear the wounding and bruising necessary for new wine to flow from me. Please break every barrier hindering its flow from my life.
• Grant me grace to always carry in my body the dying of the Lord Jesus so that the life of Jesus may be manifested in my body.
• Help me to understand that it is necessary for me to be delivered to death for Jesus’ sake, knowing that life comes out of death.
• Bring it to reality in my life through the excellency of your power at work in me that:

o   Though hard-pressed on every side, I will not be crushed. 

o   Though perplexed, I will not be in despair.

o   Though persecuted, I will not be forsaken.

o   Though struck down, I will not be destroyed.

Isaiah 53:10 (NKJV) - Yet it pleased the Lord to bruise Him; He has put Him to grief. When You make His soul an offering for sin, He shall see His seed, He shall prolong His days, And the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in His hand. 

Job 5:17-18 (NKJV) - “Behold, happy is the man whom God corrects; Therefore do not despise the chastening of the Almighty. ¹⁸ For He bruises, but He binds up; He wounds, but His hands make whole.

God allows us to be bruised as He did with Jesus. This is how God makes His men in every generation. Those who understand the way of God, count it all joy when they are in the winepress of the cross. They do not dodge God's dealings with them. "Count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith will produce patience." - James 1:2

Prayer

• Lord, settle it in me that I must be wounded and bruised in order to correctly bear Your life among men and deliver Your message to my generation.
• Please Lord, do not let me despise Your corrections, no matter who You send to me.
• Grant me grace to allow You to bruise me as You please, knowing that You will also bind me up.
• Keep me focused on the new wine that will issue from my life as I am being wounded and bruised, so that I can rejoice in the winepress.
• Let my only sorrowing in the winepress of the cross be godly sorrow that produces repentance.
• Help my heart not to dodge the winepress of the cross because if my ‘grapes’ are not crushed in its season, it will no longer be fit for new wine.

As ‘Grape Tramplers’

How are we trampling on the grapes?  If grapes are pressed too softly, not enough juice will be extracted for the new wine. The harder the pressing, the more juice will flow.

Example of Jesus:

Isaiah 63:1-6 (TLB) - Who is this who comes from Edom, from the city of Bozrah, with his magnificent garments of crimson? Who is this in royal robes, marching in the greatness of his strength? “It is I, the Lord, announcing your salvation; I, the Lord, the one who is mighty to save!”² “Why are your clothes so red, as from treading out the grapes?” ³ “I have trodden the winepress alone. No one was there to help me. In my wrath I have trodden my enemies like grapes. In my fury I trampled my foes. It is their blood you see upon my clothes. ⁴ For the time has come for me to avenge my people, to redeem them from the hands of their oppressors. ⁵ I looked but no one came to help them; I was amazed and appalled. So I executed vengeance alone; unaided, I meted out judgment. ⁶ I crushed the heathen nations in my anger and made them stagger and fall to the ground.”

Jesus trampled over his enemies with a vengeance. He fatally crushed and destroyed the old man and all his products of his life, and returned victoriously to announce our salvation.

Col. 2:15 - “And having disarmed the powers and authorities, he made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the cross.”

Prayer

• Lord, You have announced my salvation and You are mighty to save. Please put a finger on every work of the flesh still lurking in my life. Expose them and bring me to repentance.
• Please unleash the Your vengeance on every sinful habit, every manifestation of self (good or bad) and every philosophy of life of the old man and separate me completely from them.
• Crush every ‘heathen nation’ in my heart and cause them to stagger and fall.
• Please Lord, help me. I must produce new wine in abundance for Your glory.

I die daily as I carry my cross

I’m wounded daily to gain my crown

I die daily for Jesus to reign

It’s no longer I but Christ in me
