Welcome to Prayer Ground, a new way for Aussie Christians to come together and believe for the Great Southland of THE HOLY SPIRIT.

Prayerground is not a ministry that can be typecast or pigeon holed into any one denomination. It is a meeting point for Jesus believing Christians with Hope, Faith and Trust in our creator God.

It is time for Christians of the same Faith, who need to see Australia achieve all it is destined for as the Great Southland of The Holy Spirit.

The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob is still alive and well today in our hearts and minds. We will see a turning and repentance towards God, and only through Jesus can we all see that.

There are many who would try to take our future away from us, by discrediting God as our authority, but that is something you can never change.

If you want to be a part of reflecting the light of God in our country in a bold and public manner, then there are three ways you can help:

1) Prayer,

2) Sacrifice, and

3) Giving.

MATTHEW 11: 17 says it like this:

He said to them, “The Scriptures declare, ‘My Temple will be called a house of prayer for all nations,’ but you have turned it into a den of thieves.”

It is time for the thief to be stopped!

The whole reason for the sign at Telegraph Point is asking you to consider “ETERNITY”. Many people think they can get to heaven by simply being good in their own eyes, or the eyes of the world. This is a deception and a lie, helping many into hell itself, unknowingly!

The Bible outlines it like this:

EPHESIANS 2: 8 - 10

God saved you by his grace when you believed. And you can’t take credit for this; it is a gift from God. Salvation is not a reward for the good things we have done, so none of us can boast about it. For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.

Here in Australia we are starting to see that very transformation thanks to the prayers of humble people who are being largely ignored for their efforts by man. Here at Prayerground we fully agree that today the rain is here due to God answered prayers of many christians around the country. We congratulate the many true believer’s who have fasted and prayed in the past for the breaking of this drought. Your prayers have been heeded by an awesome God. Creator of Heaven and Earth, for He is the maker, and He can maintain everything He has made if we only ask in prayer.

Do you want God’s Church to Pray together and stay together?

It is an exciting time to live as we see the world coming to it’s inevitable end so as God can claim her back as His own. We are all built in His Image and not an image of pointless man without God. You need to know that prayer has power and answers for this unjust world.

We are coming into a season that requires us all to stand up and be counting the blessings and provisions of God! If you mock God and His ability then you are on a slippery slope in this nation of Australia. There is still a great work to do, will you be a part of it?

The world cannot perceive, cannot understand, what God does through His chosen children. Like the world, many religions, cathedrals and churches will only perish without JESUS CHRIST.

You see, as a christian we need to get a hold of true prophecies and speak them into being. This is why the VISION STATEMENT of PRAYERGROUND goes like this:

TO JOIN IN HUMILITY AND REPENTANCE.

TO PLANT PRAYERS IN THE GROUND THAT GOD HAS GIVEN.

TO ASK GOD TO TRANSFORM OUR LIVES THROUGH THE ANOINTED POWER OF JESUS CHRIST.

TO TAKE BACK ALL THAT GOD HAS FOR THIS NATION.

TO CLAIM AUSTRALIA AS THE GREAT SOUTHLAND OF THE HOLY SPIRIT.

TO BRING US FORWARD TO A NEW DAY, SO THAT THE PEOPLE OF THE WORLD

WILL SEE US AND CALL US BLESSED……. HIS KINGDOM COME, HIS WILL BE DONE.

Long before Australia was established a word was spoken into the foundation of this nation by a Captain Pedro who sailed in those days under a Spanish flag. He longed for the day when he would see the beauty of this wide brown land. In fact He missed the mark, instead landing at Vanuatu. But still believing that this island was Terra Australis Incognito he held a mass and stated the following:

THE PROCLAMATION BY PEDRO FERDINAND DE QUIROS

Day of Pentecost, 14th May, 1606

Let the heavens, the earth, the waters with all their creatures, and those present, witness that I, Captain Pedro Ferdinand de Quiros…in the name of Jesus Christ… hoist this emblem of the holy cross on which His person was crucified and whereon He gave His life for the ransom and remedy of all the human race…on this day of Pentecost, 14th May….I take possession of all this part of the south as far as the pole in the name of Jesus…which from now on shall be called the southern land of the Holy Ghost…and this always and forever…and to the end that to all natives, in all the said lands, the holy and sacred evangel may be preached zealously and openly.

Even though he was in Vanuatu, his heart and belief was for the Australian and New Zealand region. We at Prayerground believe that the GLORY OF GOD has no distance, no separation. We also believe that the British were chosen by God to colonize Australia, and not the Spanish or Asians. The rejected convicts for petty crime colonized Australia, and in turn the rejected……. rejected the Aborigines. You are what you eat and you do as you are taught. With every take over of nations there is bloodshed. Through fear people kill each other. It is by working through this fear we understand more about ourselves.

I am personally over the blame game of overseas countries when it comes to their judgement of us and our treatment of Australian Aborigines. I am also very much over the internal squabbling, you all still haven’t found a solution, you only continue to draw the battle lines. JESUS and only JESUS can bring about RECONCILIATION for THIS NATION, for HE is the reconciliation master. His whole message is RECONCILIATION. His IMAGE UNITES US ALL!

HE RECONCILED all of mankind on that cross two thousand years ago. The blood was spilt, His body left for dead. He died for the nations, and that’s all Australians! Yet mankind still thinks he can solve the problems of the world without JESUS. WRONG! THINK AGAIN and learn to PRAY AGAIN. People think that the idea of a God is an ancient dead old thing, BUT ONLY THE SPIRIT OF MAN IS TRULY DEAD WITHOUT HIM, THE CREATOR OF BOTH HEAVEN AND EARTH. If you think that the EARTH is HELL, then I am here to tell you, HELL IS MUCH WORST THAN THIS. For that is where the failings of man lie. A place meant for the devil and not for you. ONLY TRUE RECONCILIATION IS POSSIBLE THROUGH JESUS, JESUS, JESUS.

PRAYERGROUND has only been going since the beginning of 2007 in my heart, and on May 19 with our first Prayer event at Sydney’s Warragamba Dam water supply Town. We broke an evil stronghold that was held over that area that weekend simply because we were sensitive to the directions of the Holy Spirit. The very Holy Spirit Jesus left us when He, in turn, left the earth. Since then the record drought has been losing it’s stronghold, and it will continue to lose it’s grip as long as we are Faithful and Prayerful to His call.

YES JESUS, THE ONE CONCEIVED ‘OF’ THE HOLY SPIRIT, BAPTIZED ‘IN’ WATER AND THE HOLY SPIRIT AND WHO INTRODUCED US ‘TO’ THE HOLY SPIRIT.

So we must be found made ‘OF’ the Holy Spirit, immersed ‘IN’ His Holy Spirit, and clinging ‘TO’ His Holy Spirit in every area of our lives……

As Prayerground continues into 2012 we will be lifting prayers for the reconciliation of mankind throughout Australia. In particular a reconciliation between NEW AUSTRALIANS, AND INDIGENOUS AUSTRALIANS.

I believe the only way to find friendship and love for one another is through the message of Jesus Christ.

EPHESIANS 3: 6 says it like this

And this is God’s plan: Both Gentiles and Jews who believe the Good News share equally in the riches inherited by God’s children. Both are part of the same body, and both enjoy the promise of blessings because they belong to Christ Jesus.

Now is the time to change the spiritual landscape, through the anointed power of the Holy Spirit.

By no other name will true reconciliation come, no mohammad, no budda, no other man-made God can do this, or has cared enough to help us do this. We need to truly WAKE UP AUSTRALIA!

If you feel me here then please pray this prayer with me and fast if you can over this week:

DEAR CREATOR, YOU KNOW WHAT THIS COUNTRY NEEDS RIGHT NOW IN ORDER THAT IT PLAYS IT’S PART IN YOUR KINGDOM. YOUR KINGDOM THAT IS SOON TO COME IS WHERE WE NEED TO FIRMLY PLANT OUR PRAYERS AND FEET. WE PRAY THAT YOUR TRUTH WILL NOW START TO RING TRUE AND DECEPTION WILL CEASE!
COME LORD JESUS AND MAKE YOUR PRESENCE KNOWN AS THE TRUE CHURCH WAKES UP AND RISES UP IN THESE FINAL DAYS. WE PRAY FOR A BIBLICAL AND PRAYERFUL NATION THAT IS NOT AFRAID TO STAND UP AND BE COUNTED AS A CHRISTIAN NATION. MAY YOUR TRUTH BE LIGHT AND SALT. GUIDE OUR LEADERS, FATHER, AND HELP THEM UNDERSTAND AND KNOW WHAT YOU ARE ASKING OF US AT THIS POINT OF YOUR WORLD’S HISTORY…….. IN JESUS NAME……. AMEN!

We all have much to share in the 3 areas of PRAYER, WORSHIP and IMPARTATION. These days ahead will be to simply come together and let the Holy Spirit lead us in prayer and worship - to seek God at this strategic hour.

“If my people, who are called by My name, will humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land.” 2 Chronicles 7:14
