Drop the net here

Notes of meeting on 3 May 2011


Picture of a large black void. A large lake of thick acrid boiling mud was being spewed out of the mouth of this void. Flames and bursts of boiling mud were flowing upwards. People were drowning and choking, their mouths and nostrils full of boilng mud. Other beings were trying to drag them under and into the mouth of the void. The people couldn't even cry out for help.

Jesus is standing on the shore of the lake beckoning. Members of this group and others are stepping into flat boats and with great courage they fan out in the boats making a large arc on the lake. Jesus says "Drop the net here" and then He makes a sign for the boats to return to the shore. He greets us and as we come on shore the net drags many choked burnt and agonised people to the shore as well. Jesus exposes his wounded body and Blood and Water flow over them. Immediately they are cleanses and healed. Jesus says "By My wounds you saved by My Grace be clean and sin no more".

It was felt that Jesus was saying that even when He calls us to do something and we are scared to do so He will be right there with us. We cannot do any work for him unless He is there with us. If He asks us to do something He will give us the courage needed. It was also felt that it was very significant that we all worked together in unison with Him (not on our own). Our prayers and praise were represented by the net pulling poor souls out of the very depths of drakness. We are asked to participate in this work as one body with Him. His is the grace, healing and cleansing our action of prayer, praising, fasting, good works is the participation He requires. It is not men we are fighting but evil principalities. We cannot do this on our won we have to involve Jesus at every level.

Ephesians 6 v 10-18
The Armor of God
10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11 Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. 12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. 13 Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. 14 Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, 15 and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. 16 In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17 Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
18 And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people. 19 Pray also for me, that whenever I speak, words may be given me so that I will fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel, 20 for which I am an ambassador in chains. Pray that I may declare it fearlessly, as I should.


Isaiah 54



Lord help us to pray earnestly for those in darkness and in need of salvation and help us to accept or trials and crosses
