The simple Scripture-based Vineworks process was born through great adversity and has stood the test of time.  It's a simple 'denomination-neutral' process that anyone can do.  

​

As God told Habakkuk, it is truly 'unbelievable' that God would make Satan "the god of this world" to create a "furnace of affliction" for His own seed. That it would go on for many generations, but then God would expect the last generation to just get up and walk out of ‘it’.  If they couldn't walk out of it for nearly 2000 years, what changed to enable this?  Daniel 7 says God "takes the dominion away from the beast" "for a season and time" before His Son returns. Meaning, Satan will no longer be the "prince of the power of the air" or raised up as so, by God. 

​

This is exactly what Moses wrote in Psalm 90 saying, “Thou turnest man to destruction; and sayest, Return, ye children of men”. It's hard to understand God’s love in doing this to us, because we can’t see what God sees happening with our hearts. When Jesus said we are an adulterous generation He wasn’t referring to sex, He was referring to how our hearts can go out to ‘other spiritual entities’, thus committing spiritual adultery, in God’s opinion. Since ‘the motives of our hearts are deep waters’, we don’t even understand when we do it. I can ‘want’ a motorcoach, or ‘not want’ the neighbor’s dog barking, or ‘want’ to engage in witty banter to be popular – and all three can cause my heart to ‘go out’ and commit this adultery because the "kingdoms of this world" are not yet "the kingdom of our God". This is why it says, "Anyone who claims to dwell constantly in Christ, must walk as He did", and "Anyone who does not keep a tight reign on their tongue deceives themselves, and their religion is useless".

 

Daniel 7 says that just before Jesus returns “the kingdoms of this world become the kingdom of our God”, and is then given to Jesus when He returns. But until the kingdoms of this world become the kingdom of our God, giving our heart to make connections in these kingdoms requires moving our heart out of the Vine of Christ and into the ‘vine of the world’ as it says. These connections allow the "sword" to pierce, or ‘enter’ us. And most of the time we hardly even notice it, until the afflictions in our thoughts, emotions, or health become obvious enough that we realize it’s spiritual. It’s that subtle at first because our hearts are such deep waters and our enemy is so subtle.

​​

When things cause our heart to be lured out of the Vine of Christ we go into the vine of the world. As this unseen adultery begins to happen the “sword” Jesus came to bring pierces our soul. Now, Ezekiel 21 says this sword “despises” some people but not others, so when it gets inside some people it looks for ways to afflict the person, which can be anything from destructive behaviour, to hearing false counsel, to physical sickness - thus the reason God called it a “Furnace of Affliction” for God's seed - but not all people. The afflictions stop when we turn our whole heart back to the Lord in humility and re-enter the safety of His Vine. Thus, Psalm 91, “The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want” is very true, and the fact that this sword doesn’t do this to other people supports Malachi 3:15, “But now we call the arrogant blessed. Certainly evildoers prosper, and even when they put God to the test, they get away with it.”

 

When the seed of God see that other seeds are not subject to this invisible affliction, it can be very offensive to God’s people, and dangerous levels of offence can rise. Habakkuk says, the devil's "power is to offend" and you see that in the world so plainly...  God's seed try hard to not go around offending people, whereas satan's seed seem to enjoy it and are careless in what they make others go through. Having said this, 'offence' isn't so much found in the enemy’s seed, but God’s, for it has been the enemy's day, as Jesus said, because God raised satan up to be the god of this world.

 

Like the way gold is purified with heat and fire, God sometimes allows intense levels of offence to occur and even linger as the Sword pierces and torments us, because it is of great value to His refining us. After He pulls us out of a fiery furnace of the sword piercing and afflicting us, we are even more determined in our resolve to stay at home and not "wander" as it says in Jeremiah 31, or in other words - not be lured out of our own Vine, or in other words - not be so adulterous in spirit.

​

Because of God using the principality around the earth to give satan a temporary 'omnipresence', there hasn't been a place to run and hide from the sword Jesus came to bring. We have all been in it. And the intensity of the fire has been far greater for some people than others. However, regardless of what hell you have been going through because of your particular adulterous tendencies, the road home remains the same. In Isaiah 30:7,15, God laid a path for our deliverance. We call it Vineworks. 

 

When Cyrus went to deliver God's people from visible Babylon he came against a river. When his favourite white battle horse attempted to cross the river it was swept away and drowned, and Cyrus was very angry. We know God raised up Cyrus and had His hand on Cyrus, so when Cyrus commanded that 180 ditches be dug on each side of the river to drain it, it was a foreshadowing. The white horse is symbolic of the "scepter of God's son ceasing" or being "cut off" as Jeremiah says the 'sword' would do.  The 360 ditches are the 360 days in a Jewish year. Meaning that the bride of Christ will need to apply God's deliverance method daily, because even after God takes the dominion away from the beast like it says, there is still a very strong residual that remains in many people. Out of love the bride fellowships, and out of fellowship, the bride gets re-infected - thus the daily need to do this to remain in the right Vine and walk as Jesus walked.

​

In this over-complicated world today, power-walking brings us back to the true heart of what it means to "walk as Jesus walked" and the "Joy of the Cross". Its transformational, liberating, non-religious, and LIFE GIVING!!!   Are you among the millions of people out there who have know all along that something is wrong in the church, but could never really put your finger on it?  Do you have deeper questions but feel afraid to ask them in church?  Then look no further, simply join us and take what you find back to your church family for mutual edification!

Vineworks is based on Isaiah 30:7,15 and this is generally what to expect at a gathering…

 

Arrival:

 

There’s usually upbeat music playing, sometimes a little on the loud side. Some may find it a bit offensive at first, but it’s there to make new people feel welcome and to create a greater contrast between how it feels to be in the vine of the world and then the True Vine of Christ. 

 

1-We Begin:

 

Music stops. Warfare/overcoming by the blood of the Lamb and some bold proclamations. People wrestle themselves into stillness and silence, while turning their hearts to the Cross, the blood of the Lamb, and the gift placed in all of us. 

 

Someone reads The Returning Prayer:

 

Heavenly Father, Lord Jesus of Nazareth, I have been speaking on my own to gain honor for myself.  I have said and done on my own as I see fit, according to what makes sense to me. I see this same behavior in those around me and I ask you to release me from the “Furnace of Affliction” you created. Please release me from the “Worthless idol shepherd” you raised up. Lord, deliver me completely from the “Magic wine” and “Potent magic spells” of the spiritual principality of Babylon – and draw near to me Lord.  All day long, things come out of my heart and mouth, some of which are judgmental and harsh against others, and not of your way Lord. Please release me from having to reap this back, as I have been sowing to others. I lay my will and life down to follow you Lord; I surrender anything I may have set up against you within me. I lay all my plans and desires at your feet. It’s not about hearing from you Lord, it’s about drawing near to you. So please draw near to me, as I seek to draw near to you. I would rather be led by your Spirit in what to say and do, than my own spirit. Help me to Love you Lord with all that I am, and not mock your command to love you with my idolatries.

​

​

2-We Press In By Applying Isaiah 30:7, 15.

 

“… therefore have I creid concerning this, Their strength is to sit still. For thus saith the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel; In returning and rest shall ye be saved; in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength…”

 

So, we sit in silence until the busyness of our mind stops, and we are able to hold our focus entirely upon believing the gift of glory in us all, the Cross and blood of the Lamb. We do this until the indescribable gift in us becomes the most important treasure in our hearts, letting go of all worries and wants - like the parable of the precious treasure the man found in the field.

 

Spontaneous utterance: "It is to let the spiritual powers from the kingdoms of this world dissipate out of you". This is what God said in Isaiah that He has determined us to do, and we enter into his rest, His vine and His power this way. This produces stillness of mind, and enables us to focus stead-fast on the cross, and our understanding of the greatest treasure in our hearts.

 

It takes some longer than others to get here… it's usually a fight for many to ‘shut themselves up’.  With the Day of Pentecost they waited for a spiritual presence to come down upon them, whereas we wait for His power to rise up in us. We don’t summon a spirit to come, we do the work of believing while waiting for Him to rise in us. 

 

3- Some begin to sing the simple little "Ezekiel 28 Song":

 

"Glory of God in Christ in thee,

Arising now in victory,

Arising now to set us free;

Glory of God in Christ in thee,

Burning up our enemy,

Burning up to set us free;

Glory of God in Christ in thee,

Arising now in victory,

His waves of Glory are moving in me,

His waves of glory wash over me,

His peace has reached my soul...

His peace has reached my soul..."

 - repeat until peace and stillness of heart...

 

4- Some begin to utter, speak, proclaim and sometimes even sing - by His lead... but  We don’t add to, or build on the ‘quickenings’ others receive, we wait for our own to rise – this is critically important to protect against accidentally fanning a wrong spirit, and also to leave room for others who are newer to step out in their faith too…. It’s meant to be a gentle delicate environment for people to discover the Father’s leading in them personally.

The History behind the Ezekiel 28 Song:

 

see Ezekiel 28:11-19 kjv.  

 

When you read these verses, its obvious God is talking to Satan, even though the lamentation is written to the "king of Tyrus".  Like in other Scriptures, we see that Satan was very highly placed in God's original creation, even being a "covering cherub" who was "full of wisdom and perfect in beauty" and "Walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire".  Satan was "Perfect in his ways until iniquity was found in him" it says.  Yet, God told Ezekiel to take up the lamentation to the king of Tyrus, not Satan by name. Why would God do this?  

 

It's a very common thing in Scripture actually. God has kept things hidden for 1000's of years because He knows our nature. When God shows us 1 & 2, and we assume we know 3 & even 4. In this particular case, after reading about what is now history in Ezekiel 26 and then the lamentation to the prince of Tyrus in 28:1-10 concerning visible things, we can run ahead and miss the most obvious things in the next lamentation...  

 

See, in Ezekiel 28:18,19 kjv God said to Satan, "Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries by the multitude of thine iniquities, by the iniquity of thy traffick; therefore will I bring forth a fire from the midst of thee, it shall devour thee, and I will bring thee to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them that behold thee. All they that know thee among the people shall be astonished at thee: thou shalt be a terror, and never shalt thou be any more."

 

Yet if we do some historical research, the ancient island city of Tyre/Tyrus did not have "sanctuaries", and it was not "devoured by fire from the midst of it", it was destroyed by Alexander's stone throwers etc. So God did not "bring the city of Tyre to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them that behold thee" as it says in Ezekiel... 

 

So what is God up to here? Is Ezekiel 28 literally about an ancient island city of worldwide commercial trade, or is there a pearl here?

 

It takes pages to explain this but for now, it is about God "rising up as fire within people" to burn to ashes all that Satan has set up in them, so that God can give them the beauty and simplicity of the original Gospel.  

 

We believe the best plan is to lead by our excellent example and love each other. People don't need to know all this, they just need to come and sing the Ezekiel 28 song and let it happen.

 

But this has been written for the purposes of starting our ministry, declares the Lord.
