A monthly column in which Julita Kok shares on living adventurously with God
I am writing to you from Pretoria as I will soon fly out from here to Israel. I have been to Israel many times and I must be honest, it does not always excite me. Israel is a strange place to be and all my memories of Israel are not necessarily great, but somehow this time, I am truly excited to put my feet down there at this very moment. Will keep you posted.
The past few weeks I had a few speaking engagements and what was interesting to me is that they happened on prayer mountains. Places on actual mountains where houses of prayer gather. I also spoke at groups who are specifically called to pray for their towns. The one did not know about the other, but I recognised the hand of God in it all.
South Africa is in an extremely important time. I see how the enemy attacks the prophecies spoken over South Africa. The prophecy that says we will be a nation which from the South will move through Africa over to Jerusalem and then to the rest of the world to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The prophecy that says we will be a nation which opens her doors as a refuge nation to those who serve Jesus Christ. And I see how those prophesies get attacked, to make it impossible for these things to happen.

What blows my mind about the enemy, is that after all these thousands of years, he still thinks he can cancel God’s plans. If I listen to what is happening on these prayer mountains, I realise that God is raising up an army of intercessors, watchers on the walls who hear the voice of the Holy Spirit and pray according to His instructions. And here is the thing about listening to the Holy Spirit. Jesus called Him the Spirit of TRUTH! Oh my hat, people!!! In the times we live in full of lies and deception, what is the one thing we need? TRUTH, because only the truth can set people free from all this deception going on. We need His Spirit now more than ever.
One of the things I experienced the past year is how the Father pursues that one sheep. He intentionally arranges an encounter with individuals and it is amazing to see, and it is as if He Himself teaches them. It is a beautiful thing. And it tells me the way things used to work is changing. We will soon see the whole religious system break down and how it will be individuals that carry forth the message of salvation through Jesus Christ. He reminded me again and again and again the past few months that there is only one answer to everything, and that is Jesus Christ — to not only embrace and receive what He did on the cross, but to step forth in the resurrection power of Jesus.
Romans 8:11: But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you.
His Spirit, the Spirit of Truth dwells in us!! We carry the answer to it all within us. So brothers and sisters, we then become the answer to all the problems of this Earth if we are led by His Spirit to do and speak and operate according to His directions. Oh, to be used by Him. How marvelous and terrible it is at the same time. It asks something of you. To lay down your own life and live not from the flesh, but the Spirit. But the wonders and fulfilment you experience because of this obedience — let me stop right here before I start preaching, heheheheh.
As you know, I travel the world and all I can say is that I see God is moving, but it is individuals who He meets with. And they go and influence their people. Like the disciples of old. Never believe that God is not in control. It might seem like the world is out of control, but I promise you God is at work where you cannot see it. Be of much cheer and have great faith and hope. We are in such exciting times, times where people will experience the One and Only True God, the One who has a son called Jesus.
I am dancing a little dance here, because His joy is flooding my heart. May you experience it too.
I will be writing you from Jerusalem next. How cool is that.
Be blessed my brothers and sisters and know that your strength comes from Him who lives on the inside of you. The One who can never ever die.
Much love
