About

To share with the children of God how we came into an intimate relationship with Father has been the passion of our lives since we discovered it for ourselves. We Believe Jesus Christ is King of creation, and even more relevant to this, he is King of our hearts; what we feel, think and do. We live in Him, for Him. Our motives are His motives, our thoughts are His thoughts. In this we find joy unspeakable. Even the bodies we live in are not our own. Money and possessions in our name are not our own, they belong to Him. Everything belongs to Him; and we are stewards, chosen to care for what is his, using what is his, to further his purposes on earth. God having blessed us with the ability to make music caused us to find the door that gives us an entry into His throne-room of grace, to kneel before Him our God and King. So through internally focused worship and submission accompanied by heart tenderizing music we are able to see His face and experience His glory within. This is not a mystery too difficult to understand. The word of God tells us we are the temple of the living God, the inhabitation of the Holy Spirit, and if this be true, then God in the fullness that raised Christ from the dead dwells with in our hearts. We find Him in our hearts.
Our origins of Intimacy Our walk with God Since the early eighties up to the present day has been an earnest search to know Him, in a personal capacity, as a friend, to go beyond the veil, into His presence, and to experience the fullness of His glory, and never have to leave that place. To have face to face encounters with God as Moses and the prophets of old did. We had entered on occasion before, and we were hooked, addicted. It took only one glimpse of the beauty of God, and that was enough to propel us into a lifelong pursuit of being in his presence. We needed to serve God out of a position of friendship with Him, as David did, who had an intense intellectual and emotional experience with God. David is referred to as a man after God’s own heart; also Jesus is referred to as the son of David. If we are to be Kings and Priests then it is to be after the model and example set by King David. Development Years Through the years while the Church in our midst was preoccupied with various other facets of God’s kingdom (and sometimes their own), Ann and I resolved to develop the intimacy with Him we so much desired apart from the mainstream Church. This we did mainly in our own home, on our own, yet in parallel and not neglecting the journey travelled by the Church. Our drive for intimacy was misunderstood by most. Sanctification Our efforts gradually intensified as we pursued our passion of breaking through into heavenly realms through the late eighties and nineties. We experienced greater rewards as we on a daily basis would pick up instruments to commune with and worship God in song. Our daily worship became the lifeblood of who we are in Him today, we were taken through daily sanctification and dying to self. New direction Around the turn of the century Ann manifested the symptoms of multiple sclerosis and at the same time I had to have an operation performed on my left hand, which was successful in itself, however, during the procedure the surgeon accidently severed the nerves to my index finger. Ann could not play piano and now I could not play guitar. The initial shock shook our world; we fell into a brief depression and then reverted to other means of intimacy with Him, recorded music, His word and prayer. However, these points of entry could not yield as deep an experience with God as we had had with our music and own instruments in hand. The Call to USA In 2007 about seven years later God instructed us to sell our home and businesses, and move to America. I was offered a position as the music director of a medium sized Baptist Church in Spring Hill Florida. During the past seven years some feeling returned to my finger and the MS symptoms had left Ann’s hands thanks to a homeopathic treatment. Springhill Hudson We accepted the offer moved to Florida on a three year mission, bought new instruments, played for the Church and later established our daily times of intimacy with God. I suspected God was going to rebuild the tabernacle of David at that time and that we would be instrumental in this process. I was wrong and discovered God had other plans and experiences in mind for our family, to grow and mature us in other new directions so that we would be more complete in our understanding of the building up of His kingdom in times we now live in. IHOP I also discovered that the process of bringing intimacy with God had already been initiated, and well on its way, by Bob Jones a prophet of God and Mike Bickle Founder ‘International House of Prayer’ IHOP in Kansas City. During the last six months of our stay in the US I made it my business to study the whole process that went into establishing IHOP now sparking many other houses of prayer around the globe. One size does not fit all The dynamics of how intimacy is experienced will differ from culture to culture and even person to person, as God interacts differently with each one of His children, this understanding is borne by Mike Bickle himself who declares that he has not been shown by God that the IHOP movement is to be a franchise style Church. However, the elements of intimacy stay the same namely gratitude, praise, worship; prophetic, prayer, and impartation from the Spirit. The Commission We returned home to South Africa three years later in February 2011, renewed in many new areas and equipped to bring the message of intimacy with God into its fullness. We have now been commissioned to share, teach and hold experiential workshops with small to medium sized groups. We open our hearts to His desires for us, receiving His intense love for us. Prophetically calling forth His glory into our beings, by loving His will for us, we bury His will for us in our hearts so that as His word is worked out in our lives we are changed from glory to glory moving towards the image of our Father One moment in His presence will be enough to change your life forever Please contact us if God has been speaking to you about this.
