Just a closer walk with thee.......

I was reading through John 14 the other day and recieved some of the most powerful revelation I have ever recieved in the short time that I have been a Christian. And it almost leveled me to realise what I have been missing out on with my Lord and Saviour Christ Jesus.

You see I have been in the wrong frame of mind and in fact distancing myself from God and the Lord Jesus seeking a relationship with Him. Looking for what I had to do and how I was to obtain a greater intimacy. If I only could work it out I would do just that. I have been going from place to place, looking for the answer. This book and that book, from one Christian site to another, seeking the revelation of how to get closer to God.

I put it this way in our fellowship meeting yesterday in Church, "I have been chasing the chicken around the yard trying to catch it when the whole time the Lord has had it ready to come out of the oven for me since the day He came into my heart".

You see we have a relationship with our Lord the day we say yes to Him...there is no more we have to do except for Love Him as He Loves us. There isn't a special way He likes to be introduced in prayer as long as it is heart felt. There is no ceramony that has to be preformed to bring His presence, just Love Him.

You see I have been making all the right moves to keep myself busy looking for Him but in truth He was there looking at me wondering when I was going to slow down enough to see Him right before my own eyes. God wants us to know He is there with us at all times...when we are in the deepest of our despire or the highest of our joy. Right beside us and ready to recieve us with open arms. I now know I have a relationship with the Father the Son and the Holy Spirit. I always have, you know when the lights go on it is such a beautiful place to be, especially when you can see the Lord before you and leave everything else behind you. Praise God!!

I would like to post a specific scipture for you to read from John 14 but the whole chapter is that powerful I will ask you to take some quite time and spend it with God and His Holy word. The promise of a greater life is there for the taking. Spend to time to take it.

Peace and Blessings.

Strengthen Your Resolve.....

Hello again and welcome in the Mighty Name of my Lord Jesus Christ. I am putting up some personal thoughts here so please don't expect anything to profound or theological.
I just wanted to write about the Strength within ourselves as apposed to the Strength we have in Jesus and through the Holy Spirit.

You see we as a society often would like to think that it is quite possible to strenghten ourselves against the pressures and the troubles of the world. And that temptation can be defeated with all kinds of mind tricks and such. And maybe they can for a while. But it is clear by the amount of devorce case filed because of financial strain or infedality, or worse abuse, that temptation is to great to fight on our own and so is the troubles of this present day.

Now as far as temptation goes I can speak on a personal basis, I was addicted to pornography for a very long time and remained so in the early days of my walk with Christ. I was an alcoholic and a drug abuser and often careless with my finances. But when I found Jesus I finally had the tools I needed to defeat those demons that tried so hard to destroy me. He(Jesus)invited me into a world that was loving, warm and I didn't wan't to escape from every chance I could.
You see even though alot of people are only recreational user of drugs or only drink on special occassion, or on days ending in y, the truth of the matter people are looking to escape from their troubles and worries of every day life. But Jesus tells us we don't have to run away or hide in things that alter our perception or thoughts. We have in Him the very refudge place that those things can't offer.1 Peter 5:7
We are told by the Prophets of old that their was only one place that they looked for their strength and that was in God. Exodus 15:2, 2 Samuel 22:33, Nehemiah 8:10, Job 9:19, Psalm 18:32, Psalm 21:1, Psalm 28:7 And the list goes on and on and on. So why would we want to fight the temptations and troubles of the world alone when we have such a willing and Loving God that has given us His Son so we may know Him more. Strengthen Your Resolve In The Lord Today. He is waiting for you.

Peace and Blessings in Jesus's Name friends.

Souls saved in the New Year...Praise God!!!

Happy New Year, and God Bless you.

I just have to say what a stella year all of Gods people are in for this come twelve months of 2010. I truely believe that and claim it for us all in Jesus's Holy Name.

Last night our congregation and the many visitors from both north and south of Townsville, saw the New Year in with a bang as the clock crossed over into 2010 two souls crossed over to the side of the Lord Jesus. We were at our Cross Over 2009/2010 Gospel Rally last night and praying for souls to come to Jesus last night and a miraclous thing happen. On the stroke of 12 midnight some of the Pastors present were laying hands on and Praying for these two beautiful children of God. Both lifted up their voice and declared Christ Jesus as their Lord and Savior, Hallelujah!!!!

There is still three nights remaining of the Rally and I believe lots more souls to be saved in those nights. The theme Cross Over 2009/2010 Gospel Rally is based around the children of Isreal crossing over the Jordan and walking into the promised land. The Holy Land of Milk and Honey. This is really a wonderful time we are in, God is increasing the signs and wonders that are spoken of by the Lord Jesus and also the accurances of the prophets Daniel and Isaiah, as well as the Prophet Eziekel.

The transfer of wealth is in the process and we as Gods people have to align ourselves for the out pouring of Gods blessing, I truly believe that, to the Glory of God. But also with this coming time comes other pressing issues, are we infact ready for the Lords coming as He will be looking for a Bride dressed in white. Have we all our Brides dresses ready, I know that there is some Ironing out I have to do. I want it to be with out wrinkle or blemish and my oil lamp trimmed when He comes for his Church. How about you, if you identify anything I earge you deal with it and get ready, get ready, get ready. I Pray that we are all found in His Glory on that day.

Peace and Blessings in the wonderful Name above all Names, Christ Jesus the Lord of Heaven and Earth.
