Please Sir, I want some more!
† The following Revelation was received by Paul Davies in on 16th April, 2004. As with all prophetic words, these must be weighed and tested
with a spirit of humility and repentance. Where Bible passages are referred to, the interpretations given are not intended to be seen as the
interpretation of the passage, but as God speaking to his people's current situation by giving an interpretation.
It’s all John Paul Jackson’s fault. Him and Rick Joyner’s team anyway. They started the whole
interpretation thing, encouraged us to “have a go”. Now, it seems to be the main way God speaks to me.
Hope this blesses you.
I was feeling really rotten this morning, wondering why God wasn’t speaking to me. Where was my
supposed “prophetic calling”? It’s been a real desert year so far, with very little encouragement. Even
Bobby Conner’s visit to our church, which I was desperate for, got cancelled. I’ve been really struggling to
“seek the Lord”, and feeling like a failure.
So I started listening to a tape – the Morningstar team talking about being faithful with the little God gives
you, and “you have not because you ask not”. So I asked (again): “God, give me revelation.”
Later, I was feeding my little boy Banana cake, and he clapped his hands (please!) and pointed to the cake.
“Do you want some more?” I asked.
“Mmmm,” he answered, clapping harder, and the phrase from the movie Oliver dropped into my head:
“Please sir, I want more,” and the Lord began to speak to me from the film.
1. Oliver is an orphan – He doesn’t know who his Father is. He is desperate for real food.
o The Church has not taught the majority of Christians to know and love the Father. We have
therefore no understanding of the First & Great Commandment – the basis of our Faith from
which all else flows. This is a fundamental truth that is an emphasis in the Spirit at this time
(especially from Toronto), and we need to own and apply this into our lives in a functional
sense.
2. He wants more, and the establishment throws him out into the street, and attempt to even
make money from his misery.
o The Church has generally not taken in those who were desperate enough to seek more.
During the Pentecostal and Charismatic renewals of the 1900’s and 1960’s, those who sought
power were cast out to fend for themselves. Many of these have fallen into the survival mode
of the streets, where thievery and pick-pocketing rules. The established denominations have
“profited” from the castaways – particularly in the area of “christian” literature, where nearly
every advance pioneered by the castaways has been soundly criticised. A friend recently
commented that most Christian books are written for profit, not because God commanded
them. We would be far less judgemental if we hadn’t read quite so many of them.
3. On the street, he is taught to survive by the thieves and pickpockets.
o This speaks of the common situation where ministers will ask for a set price before agreeing
to visit a church or conference, or even worse, the stereotypical altar-call abuse. Our itineries
should be set by the Lord and funded by our trust in His provision. We are going to see a
major change in this area in the next few years, as the Lord begins to convict the church on
this issue. In the same way that self-promotion is a dangerous deception, self-funding implies
that God cannot support His ministers.
o We need to learn that worldly ways of survival or of achieving goals are not necessarily
God's ways. His ways are NOT our ways - they are higher.
4. After a time, where he continues to seek to be loved, he finds the love of the Father (his
grandfather), who just happens to be filthy rich.
o We need to have as our focus learning to “let God love us”. John wrote: “We love because he
first loved us” (1 John 4:10). We cannot love the people around us, and minister to their
varied needs, unless and until we are receiving the Love from the Father. When we reach the
place where we know who our Father is, we will not need to worry about material needs, as
He who did not spare His own Son, but gave him up for us all – how will He not also, along
with him, graciously give us all things,” (Romans 8:32)
This is what the Lord was saying to encourage me – and hopefully you as well – Keep seeking to receive
the Father’s love – the rest will happen in its time!
Blessings,
Paul Davies
