The Truth about South Africa’s current situation…
The Government… The Mirage…
On the 17th of September 2008, while at a prophetic gathering, The Lord gave me a word for the ANC and the current state of affairs in South Africa: In a vision I saw a swimming pool full of piranha fish. In the middle of these fish was the current president of the ANC – African National Congress. I saw Jacob Zuma being pushed by the piranha fish, who wanted him to do for them what they wanted. They wanted to force him, by their fearful teeth, to become the President of the country. About two days after this the ANC youth league leader started to riot at the high court, threatening to kill anyone one who would try to stop Jacob Zuma from becoming president of the country.
The outcome of the investigating trail was favourable towards Jacob Zuma, but the high court judge, honourable judge Chris Nicholson, pointed out that goverment might have politically tried to influence the investigation of the Jacob Zuma case. According to the judge’s outcome, Jacob Zuma was not guilty, but pointed all fingers to the goverment, which indirectly pointed to president Thabo Mbeki! Many allegations were thrown towards president Thabo Mbeki in that week. On the 16th of September 2008, as I saw the posters of the outcome, on the lampposts, the Lord gave me the interpretation of my brother’s dream:
On the 13th of September 2008, the day after the court case against Jacob Zuma, my brother had a dream. In his dream he saw a very tall man pointing heavenwards with

(There is a deep hatred which is smoldering, ready to vent itself upon those whom they hate) They are all hot as an oven and devour their judges; all their kings are fallen; there is none among them who calls to Me. (These men are corrupt. They manipulate the judicial system. All their leaders are fools and they do not desire to do God’s will. They do not turn to God in repentance) Ephraim mixes himself among the peoples [courting the favor of first one country, then another]; Ephraim is a cake not turned.

The world leaders have their eyes on Africa for their own purposes) And the pride of Israel testifies against him and to his face. But they do not return to the Lord their God, nor seek nor inquire of nor require Him in spite of all this. Ephraim also is like a silly dove without heart or understanding; they call to Egypt; they go to Assyria. As they go, I will spread My net over them; I will bring them down like birds of the heavens. I will chastise them according to the announcement [or prediction made] to their congregation [in the Scriptures]. [Lev. 26:14-39.] Woe to them, for they have wandered from Me! Destruction to them, because they have rebelled and trespassed against Me! Though I would redeem them, yet they have spoken lies against Me. They do not cry to Me from their heart, but they wail upon

On the 19th
of September 2008, while I prayed and interceded for the goverment of South Africa and the current state of affairs, the Lord gave me a word for the country: “WHEN I would heal Israel (The Church / Christians in Southern Africa – South Africa and Zimbabwe), then Ephraim's guilt (corruption in the government) is uncovered, and the wickedness of Samaria (Zimbabwe); how they practice falsehood, and the thief enters and the troop of bandits ravage and raid without. (Rioting youth crowds) But they do not consider and say to their minds and hearts that I [earnestly] remember all their wickedness. Now their own doings surround and entangle them; they are before My face. They make the king glad with their wickedness, and the princes with their lies.

(Eph 3:10) Ampl Or as another translation puts it: “To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God, According to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord: (Eph 3:10-11) KJV
their beds; they gash and distress and assemble themselves [in mourning] for grain and new wine; they rebel against Me. Although I have chastened them and trained and strengthened their arms, yet they think and devise evil against Me. They turn back, shift, or change, but not upwards [to the Most High]. They are like a deceitful bow; their princes shall fall by the sword for the insolence and rage of their tongue. This shall be [cause for] their derision and scorning in the land of Egypt. (God warns the ungodly leadership of South Africa and those who do not fear God, not to rebel against Him any longer, but to turn from their evil plans, lies and corruption. God warns that their wisdom and self glorification will bring them to a fall.) (Hos 7:1-16) Ampl
We have been praying and interceding for our local area – Centurion, for South Africa and Southern Africa, to see the hand of God in this nation through signs and wonders, so that millions of people may turn to God. As we prayed to the Lord Jesus, He revealed His plan to us, for this nation and all other nations in the world.

this warning is also a great promise and encouragement for all those in South Africa who fear God:
In the last two months, the Lord Jesus, showed us many things, which He desires the church of Jesus Christ to do. We started praying for the Lord to give us a strategy to reach His purpose for these last days, before His coming. We started praying on a hill, which is on the governmental grounds, central to the suburbs of Centurion, Swartkops, and the Lyttelton areas. These are suburbs area in our area. As we were praying for spiritual breakthrough and revival in the church of God in Southern Africa, the Holy Spirit showed me a vision. In a vision I saw how water found its way through a crack in a dam wall. I realized that this would be fatal for the dam wall, because, when water finds even a hairline crack in the wall, that wall will soon break. Water always finds the path of least resistance. The Holy Spirit wants to break forth before His people, if we will only allow Him to do so. David once called God: ‘The God of the breakthrough’, as was
“WHEN I would heal Israel, then Ephraim's guilt is uncovered, and the wickedness of Samaria; how they practice falsehood, and the thief enters and the troop of bandits ravage and raid without. (Hos 7:1) Ampl God says that if South Africans, turn to Him as their Lord and Saviour, He will heal them of their sins and trespasses, but at the same time He will expose the works of the devil behind the scenes in the government, in the money systems and in any influential organization that does not follow God’s plans for their lives. God is going to use the one to expose the other. It will be just like Paul said: [The

written: “David asked God, "Shall I attack the Philistines? Will you give me the victory?" The LORD answered, "Yes, attack! I will give you the victory!" So David attacked them at Baal Perazim and defeated them. He said, "God has used me to break through the enemy army like a flood or like the bursting forth of waters...” So that place is called Baal Perazim. (1Ch 14:10-11) GNB
way before He comes to take away His chosen and elected ones – His bride, who will rule and reign with Him, as was prophesied by the prophet Malachi: “BEHOLD, I send My messenger, and he shall prepare the way before Me. And the Lord [the Messiah], Whom you seek, will suddenly come to His temple; the Messenger or Angel of the covenant, Whom you desire, behold, He shall come, says the Lord of hosts. [Matt. 11:10; Luke 1:13-17, 76.] But who can endure the day of His coming? And who can stand when He appears? For He is like a refiner's fire and like fullers' soap; [Rev. 6:1217.] He will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver, and He will purify the priests, the sons of Levi, and refine them like gold and silver, that they may offer to the Lord offerings in righteousness. (Mal 3:1-3) Ampl. See the prophecy: The Breaker is Coming
God wants His people to break through to Him. He wants that which separates us from Him to be removed. God is looking for intercessors and prayer warriors to pray until the Lord breaks forth, like water that burst forth. Jesus once said: “But whoever takes a drink of the water that I will give him shall never, no never, be thirsty any more. But the water that I will give him shall become a spring of water welling up (flowing, bubbling) [continually] within him unto (into, for) eternal life. (Joh 4:14) Ampl
On the 24-25 of October 2007, the Lord proclaimed His coming through a sign in the heavens, when a comet, which brightened 1 million times, as it researched the knee of the star sign called “The Breaker”. See the Newsletter: A Star has been born. The scriptures said: “That in (at) the Name of Jesus every knee should (must) bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue [frankly and openly] confess and acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. (Php 2:10-11) Ampl
On the 1st & 2nd of January 2007, the Lord, through the Holy Spirit, gave me a prophecy which explains how He desires to break forth before His people. See the prophecy: Humbling yourself before God Speaking in Tongues (Part 1 &2) It is as simple and as difficult as was written: “If I shut up heaven so no rain falls, or if I command locusts to devour the land, or if I send pestilence among My people, if My people, who are called by My name, shall humble themselves, pray, seek, crave, and require of necessity My face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven, forgive their sin, and heal their land.

God is about to send His Messenger to break open the way before Him, as was prophesied by the prophet Micah, saying: “The Breaker [the Messiah] will go up before them. They will break through, pass in through the gate and go out through it, and their King will pass on before them, the Lord at their head. (Mic 2:13) Ampl
utters His voice before His army, for His host is very great, and [they are] strong and powerful who execute [God's] word. For the day of the Lord is great and very terrible, and who can endure it? [Isa. 26:20, 21; 34:1-4, 8; Rev. 6:16, 17.] Therefore also now, says the Lord, turn and keep on coming to Me with all your heart, with fasting, with weeping, and with mourning [until every hindrance is removed and the broken fellowship is restored]. Rend your hearts and not your garments and return to the Lord, your God, for He is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and abounding in loving-kindness; and He revokes His sentence of evil [when His conditions are met]. Who knows but what He will turn, revoke your sentence [of evil], and leave a blessing behind Him [giving you the means with which to serve Him], even a cereal or meal offering and a drink offering for the Lord, your God? Blow the trumpet in Zion; set apart a fast [a day of restraint and humility]; call a solemn assembly. Gather the people, sanctify the congregation; assemble the elderly people, gather the children and the nursing infants; let the bridegroom [who is legally exempt from attending] go forth from his chamber and the bride out of her closet. [None is exempt from the humiliation.] (Joe 2:11-16) Ampl See the Prophecy: Rend your Heart and not your garments.
The Price of Intercession…
On the 19th of September 2008, my wife was in severe car accident. People always say: “Accidents do happen!” But I know that we are stepping on some toes in the spirit. She was protected by the Lord Jesus Christ, but the car was a right-off. Two other cars were also involved. The most amazing part of the accident was that it happened on a bridge, crossing a main freeway in the same area where we pray every Saturday morning, which is in the same area of the governmental grounds, where the Voortrekker monument is situated. See the Prophecy to the Southern Africa. I don’t believe in coincidences! The next day I came before the Lord, inquiring before Him, why this accident happened? I realized that we are in spiritual battle and we need more spiritual covering. Then the word of the Lord came to me: “I am doing a new thing! I want My people to humble themselves and pray. Assemble My people! Blow the trumpet and declare a fast!”
I realized that God wants servants who will humble themselves before God, and not be more concerned about their positions, than fulfilling God’s will. God wants those servants to fulfill His Will and not their ministries. God wants a ‘nobody’. He is looking for the ‘nothings’ in this world to shame the ‘somethings’! God wants all men to humble themselves, until every obstacle is removed and until the way before Him is prepared for the coming for His Son, Jesus Christ.
Humble themselves and pray…
After this, in confirmation the Lord gave me His word to the prophet Joel, as was written: “And the Lord

Again the word of the Lord Jesus, through His Spirit came to me, saying: “I want to build a wall!” The Spirit gave me understanding that God wants to build a wall of churches! Then the Lord Jesus took me to the ‘Nobody’ – Nehemiah, whom God had chosen to initiate the rebuilding of the wall of Jerusalem. I understood that God wanted all men: Pastors, prophets, evangelists, apostles and teachers to stand together to restore the church of Jesus Christ in this last hour! He wants all men to pray and intercede with one voice, as they continually humble themselves, until Jesus Christ is revealed from heaven, like lighting that strikes and can be seen from the east to the west. God is not looking for a church gathering, but for people who will pray like in the book of Acts: “And when they heard it, lifted their voices together with one united mind to God and said, O Sovereign Lord, You are He Who made the heaven and the earth and the sea and everything that is in them, [Exod. 20:11; Ps. 146:6.] Who by the mouth of our forefather David, Your servant and child, said through the Holy Spirit, Why did the heathen (Gentiles) become wanton and insolent and rage, and the people imagine and study and plan vain (fruitless) things [that will not succeed]? The kings of the earth took their stand in array [for attack] and the rulers were assembled and combined together against the Lord and against His Anointed (Christ, the Messiah). [Ps. 2:1, 2.] For in this city there actually met and plotted together against Your holy Child and Servant Jesus, Whom You consecrated by anointing, both Herod and Pontius Pilate with the Gentiles and peoples of Israel, [Ps. 2:1, 2.] To carry out all that Your hand and Your will and purpose had predestined (predetermined) should occur. And now, Lord, observe their threats and grant to Your bond servants [full freedom] to declare Your message fearlessly, while You stretch out Your hand to cure and to perform signs and wonders through the authority and by the power of the
name of Your holy Child and Servant Jesus. And when they had prayed, the place in which they were assembled was shaken; and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and they continued to speak the Word of God with freedom and boldness and courage. (Act 4:24-31) Ampl I have seen the power when not only one prays, but all people come to pray at the same time, for the same purpose. God wants people who are willing to humble themselves and obey the call from His Holy Spirit to pray together. He does not need the control of any man. When will we leave all our controlling agendas alone and only pray together to God, as He requests it from us!? Then the word of the Lord came to me again. Then, the Lord, in great anguish, called in deep desire and pain for His people, His bride, the churches in Centurion and Pretoria, saying: “Pretoria, Pretoria! How I have longed to gather you as chicks under my wings! I send you prophets and scribes, but you would not. Now I will speak to this people through stammering lips!” The Spirit of God said to me that He wanted to gather all the churches like chicks under His wings. I had a strong sense that God wanted to raise up a mighty intercession team of leaders and prophets and prayer warriors to open the way. God also laid on my heart to add a new department to the website for prophetic intercessors. God wants to give people a common goal to fight for – “Prepare the bride of Christ for His coming. God once said to Isaiah the prophet: “But if they are true prophets and if the word of the Lord is really spoken by them, let them now make intercession to the Lord of hosts, that the vessels which are [still] left in the house of the Lord, in

Please pray with all of South Africa, so that the church, the bride of Christ, would fulfill her destiny, which God had planned for her, to demonstrate His awesome power, which He exerted in Christ when He raised Him from the dead. Pray that God will open the hearts of men to pray. Pray that God will unify the body, the church through His Glory, for only in God’s Glory will we find unity.
I realized from this word that very few wanted to cry out and prophecy towards the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ, for fear of being wrong. Everybody was only talking about it. The prophetic word, which was received from God, was not paid attention too. The prophetic voices would not speak up, for fear that they will not be heard or will be rejected. Therefore, they have been silent and unwilling to cause a stir. Therefore God, Himself, will come upon men and women everywhere to speak the same things. He will break open the way Himself! Then the prophecy of Jesus, will once more, come to pass, saying: “But to what shall I liken this generation? It is like little children sitting in the marketplaces who call to their playmates: “We piped to you [playing wedding], and you did not dance; we wailed dirges [playing funeral], and you did not mourn and beat your breasts and weep aloud.

May God bless you as you pray that we may proclaim those prophetic words, which He has given us, accurately and timely, so that Southern Africa and the world may turn with all their heart to Jesus Christ, before He comes.
As I spoke to the Lord about these things a sign appeared in the heavens: I saw something like a two headed dragon, as was written in the Psalms: “You did divide the [Red] Sea by Your might; You broke the heads of the [Egyptian] dragons in the waters. [Exod. 14:21.] You crushed the heads of Leviathan (Egypt); You did give him as food for the creatures inhabiting the wilderness. (Psa 74:13 -14) Ampl Then I realized that God said He wanted to break the two or many-headed dragon of pride in Pretoria and in the nations. The Lord immediately confirmed that it was Him who spoke to me and dropped a two headed seed upon my laptop as I wanted to start typing. God wanted men to humble themselves before Him so that He could break the
