Time to fire ourselves up dear friends.

We are all for truth, we are all for love, we are all for freedom and we are all for health. We have all these things in common.

We also have a common enemy. Call him by whatever name you like but his hand is evident whenever strife, bitterness, hurt, sickness and death are prevailing.

This enemy has been at working trying his best to drive wedges between us, to get us to focus on the small things we see differently instead of the big things we all believe. Please don’t let him succeed. If in the last year, you have separated from friends or family over political views etc, I encourage you to see that it was by design and not by accident. The same reasons you loved and appreciated them before covid still exist but have been de-emphasized to the point of being forgotten. I encourage you to take the time to remember why they are amazing human beings worthy of your love and friendship.

I encourage you to be a truth seeker in this hour. I am receiving daily reports now from veteran scientists and doctors who are all presenting a different set of facts than the media at large. Increasingly I believe the weight of factual evidence, data etc line up with what these experts are saying and yet they are being silenced by ????

Scripture tells us we are not fighting against flesh and blood but against spiritual beings…

I cannot encourage you enough to fill your homes with worship and praise.
For those who do not know the Lord, let me describe the power of corporate worship. If you have ever attended a large concert of one of your favourite artists, you have surely experienced the energy of these venues. Almost like they are charged with electricity. I think before knowing the Lord, this was the closest thing i had to a spiritual experience of His presence especially in group worship setting.

I now believe that why church gathering are being targeted in the lockdowns is because these weekly times of corporate worship, of praising God release the Kingdom of God with force and the light of His goodness with power. I believe that many only sing and praise the Lord in this setting and so while the lights in heaven have never and will never dim, the light of His Kingdom in this world has dropped dramatically indeed.

We cannot turn down darkness, we must turn up the light.

I encourage you to turn every day into a continuous worship service, one where the Lord is glorified in your thoughts, words and deeds. Speak life and life abundantly, be thankful, be positive and if you know the Lord, sing to Him and adore Him as is His due.

Even scientific studies have shown that time in worship changes our physical and mental well being. So there will be side benefits for you. There will be benefits for your home as this release of light and kingdom pushes back the darkness that is in the world… there will also be impact on your neighbourhoods and even countries.

Wanna see it in scripture?

Psalm 149:6-9King James Version

“6 Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, and a two-edged sword in their hand;7 To execute vengeance upon the heathen, and punishments upon the people;8 To bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron;9 To execute upon them the judgment written: this honour have all his saints. Praise ye the Lord.”
Rise up saints, take up the weapons of our warfare. Know that in worshipping our Lord, you are taking up the highest level of warfare against the encroaching darkness.

2 Corinthians 10:3-6King James Version

“3 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh:4 (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;)5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;6 And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.”
With love, with great affection, with hope and for His glory.

Romans 4:13-22 For the promise that he would be the heir of the world was not to Abraham or to his seed through the law, but through the righteousness of faith. 14 For if those who are of the law are heirs, faith is made void and the promise made of no effect, 15 because the law brings about wrath; for where there is no law there is no transgression.

16 Therefore it is of faith that it might be according to grace, so that the promise might be [a]sure to all the seed, not only to those who are of the law, but also to those who are of the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all 17 (as it is written, “I have made you a father of many nations”) in the presence of Him whom he believed—God, who gives life to the dead and calls those things which do not exist as though they did; 18 who, contrary to hope, in hope believed, so that he became the father of many nations, according to what was spoken, “So shall your descendants be.” 19 And not being weak in faith, he did not consider his own body, already dead (since he was about a hundred years old), and the deadness of Sarah’s womb. 20 He did not waver at the promise of God through unbelief, but was strengthened in faith, giving glory to God, 21 and being fully convinced that what He had promised He was also able to perform. 22 And therefore “it was accounted to him for righteousness.”

2 Peter 1:2-11 King James Version (KJV)

2 Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord,

3 According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue:

4 Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.

5 And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge;

6 And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness;

7 And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity.

8 For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

9 But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins.

10 Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall:

11 For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

2 Corinthians 1:20-22 New King James Version (NKJV)

20 For all the promises of God in Him are Yes, and in Him Amen, to the glory of God through us. 21 Now He who establishes us with you in Christ and has anointed us is God, 22 who also has sealed us and given us the Spirit in our hearts as a guarantee.

From <https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=2+Corinthians+1%3A20-22&version=NKJV>

Deuteronomy 28:8-13 “The Lord will guarantee a blessing on everything you do and will fill your storehouses with grain. The Lord your God will bless you in the land he is giving you.   “If you obey the commands of the Lord your God and walk in his ways, the Lord will establish you as his holy people as he swore he would do. Then all the nations of the world will see that you are a people claimed by the Lord, and they will stand in awe of you.  “The Lord will give you prosperity in the land he swore to your ancestors to give you, blessing you with many children, numerous livestock, and abundant crops.  The Lord will send rain at the proper time from his rich treasury in the heavens and will bless all the work you do. You will lend to many nations, but you will never need to borrow from them.  If you listen to these commands of the Lord your God that I am giving you today, and if you carefully obey them, the Lord will make you the head and not the tail, and you will always be on top and never at the bottom.”

He did this so we would praise and glorify him.”

I have lived two very different lives. I have friends from both and am thankful for every single one.

From my teen years, I was in a steady downward spiral….. I realize now that I had no reliable compass… So I spent those years drifting and trying to figure out which way was up. I was trying to find my self worth through the eyes of others and never did find it down that alley. As my health deteriorated, my perception of my value to others decreased increasingly. My standards of others and moral values were declining in step with this perception.

And then the light shone into my darkness, He healed me of the sickness that had been stealing my life for over 18 years, He started to whisper to me in the still quiet hours of my days that He loves me with an everlasting love, that I am a precious daughter and bride that my worth to Him is infinite, and that I am accepted just as I am, that I am loveable, worth fighting for and adored.I am thankful that I never met the stodgy, wrathful, you must obey or else version of the Lord that so many religion’s try to superimpose on His loving, gracious, just (perfectly just) nature.

The sad reality, is most people don’t know Him. They know about Him through what others say and sadly, too much of what is said is outright wrong. For those who have had Jesus Christ represented inaccurately, I want to tell you He is amazing. He is patient, kind, loving, faithful beyond words, He sees you through the most favourable lens and is your greatest ally in a darkening world. He longs to talk with every single person on this planet. He can see the real you, the perfect, loving and kind you. He can see the real you in the worst moments of your life and still be for you and is forever willing to walk into the darkest places to bring you back into the light.

I know Him more and more each day. He talks to me. I love seeing me through His eyes. I love knowing that the bad things I think and do are not who he designed me to be. They are aftermarket add on things that happen to amazing good people as they try to live and breath in a fallen world. He sees you. And in case you have forgotten it on any level. You are amazing. You are kind, you are loving, you are capable of unimaginable greatness and you are very good. You matter and you are precious.

I woke up today to this thought. “You are loved with an everlasting love”…. Can I tell you how delightful it is to wake up to the Creator of the Universe whispering this into your heart.

Dear friends, You really are loved with an everlasting love. Don’t be discouraged by the religious people who have misrepresented Him in your life. You know how many people have known you but not well and therefore misrepresented or misunderstood you.

“Hope is the little feeling we have that the big feeling we are having is only temporary” – unknown

“Jeremiah 31:3-5New Living Translation3 Long ago the Lord said to Israel:“I have loved you, my people, with an everlasting love. With unfailing love I have drawn you to myself.4 I will rebuild you, my virgin Israel. You will again be happy and dance merrily with your tambourines.5 Again you will plant your vineyards on the mountains of Samaria and eat from your own gardens there.”

I love you and am praying for you this morning.

The Power of Love

Overview:  To help people understand the infinitely deep and unconditional nature of God’s love for each one of us

Prayer :  Father God, help us to understand, really understand in our minds and our hearts that ALL of your promises are true and are a mighty shield that protect us. [Psalm 18:30]

Love Covers All Sin

Power of Praise and Worship (in prayer, in service, in music, in defense and offense)

Love of God

1 Corinthians 14:1-3 New King James Version (NKJV)

Prophecy and Tongues

14 Pursue love, and desire spiritual gifts, but especially that you may prophesy. 2 For he who speaks in a tongue does not speak to men but to God, for no one understands him; however, in the spirit he speaks mysteries. 3 But he who prophesies speaks edification and exhortation and comfort to men.

Exodus 15:26 “He said, “If you will listen carefully to the voice of the Lord your God and do what is right in his sight, obeying his commands and keeping all his decrees, then I will not make you suffer any of the diseases I sent on the Egyptians; for I am the Lord who heals you.”
