Mulberry House Christian Fellowship

Hi to all. Here is a corporate word for you with love from Mulberry House. We think it’s for many more than us ! Be blessed and let us have your comments ! We accept comments in English, French , Italian, Russian or German by the way!!

Burdens are shifting shoulders ;

The wild geese were wiser than many of us in their V formation ! The places changed, the leaders were relieved when tired and the hurting geese were attended to. God is saying that too many are tired because of the people meant to come and relieve them not being there. This has been as much a reason for major ministries crashing as the refusal of leaders to relinquish control. I don’t know how you all of you out there operate in leadership. We are working on a wild goose pattern where the five fold ministries bring the saints into maturity. It’s hard going at times but we are getting there and the saints are being released into their anointings step by step.
Shoulders mean authority. The keys are on the shoulder of Jesus. Even the army marks rank and authority by insignia on the shoulder.
The challenge –  are YOUR shoulders ready to bear more responsibility ? If you want to grow in authority they will have to.

One of our community had a great picture of a tiny remnant of people facing a huge force of very angry Zulus. Needless to say the Zulus had the clear advantage. BUT the strategy employed by the heroes in the film was to create two waves. One line of folk would stand up and fight but would then would kneel down and rest while the second wave came to take their place. Do you see the spiritual dynamics ? A clear time for rest and warfare, intimacy and strategy coming out of that place. The saints taking the place of the weary ones.
Do you need to get down on your knees or stand up right now? !
Is your balance right?

Watch your heart!

We also had a clear picture given us of a heart which was not beating correctly. There were blockages in the arteries and the extremities of the body were turning blue from lack of oxygen. Message  -watch the state of your heart urgently ! Watch those who are isolated and are turning blue through lack of love. Watch the stress levels of your lives. Remove the blockages  – hard fat deposits build up over the years often linked to  a bad diet. What do you feed on  -physically and spiritually ? Gossip, rubbish ? Do you get  a regular work out in prayer and intercession ? Do you hold on to resentments and anger ? Do you expect to be waited on hand and foot ?
We’ll see you in the gym !

Drums  -not necessarily Zulu dawn !

We had a picture of a drum being tightened, expanded and extended before being refastened very tight. Drummers will know what we mean. The Lord is tightening us so that  A NEW SOUND CAN BE PRODUCED – yes again the Lord is interested in the sound you make.

Narrow spaces

We are coming through a very narrow gap  – one of our folk saw it – and we are moving through one by one. You are so confined at the moment with one person behind and one in front. We can support one another BUT each person has to make the decision to go through by themselves. We are again going through the eye of the needle , through the fire . Remember though that the Lord is behind this with much joy. He has a MUCH bigger place for you and that there will be a great joy in coming through. We were given  a picture of some small fish being released into a bigger expanse of water. Even the goldfish grows in comparison to his bowl ! We are being moved on into  a bigger place so that we can expand but before you can expand you have to move through  a very narrow channel to arrive in that bigger place.
Suckers on roses ;

Are you a gardiner ? I do like my roses and it is time to prune ! Do you know what a sucker is ? It is a seemingly healthy and strong shoot coming from the base of the rose which needs CUTTING OFF. The Lord has been telling me about the necessity of cutting off spiritual suckers. How can you tell the difference ? The sucker NEVER produces flowers or fruit BUT it will, if neglected take the cultivated rose back to wild, weakening it and ultimately taking it over.
Wow ! We too need to allow the Lord to prune and train us and we need to allow him to cut off those things, those relationships, those mindsets which are sucking the life out of us ! Get real ? Recognise that there are relationships and some seemingly gorgeous folk who drain and suck the life out of us and stop us fulfilling our calling.
Hard but you can’t take them through the eye of the needle.
Jesus is the true vine who has the right to cut off every single branch that does not bear fruit. Let him do it !
By the way, I think it also has to do with the mystery of iniquity. The Lord gives people choices to be pruned but when there is a creeping lawlessness and desire to do it our own way, the Lord then has to separate between His own cultivated and trained vine which takes its strength from Him and those branches which suck the life out of the saints. Very hard I know but it’s what I heard.
I’ve seen some good spring offers on secateurs if you are interested !

God wants to MULTIPLY but you have to have the unhealthy bits cut off first !
