Many Jesus followers understand commitment and sacrifice.
They’re willing to serve, give and and do ‘whatever it takes’.
But there is a time for doing nothing and letting Him touch you.
This level of intimacy is what people struggle with.
He wants us to come away with Him, to draw close and let Him cleanse us.
Will you surrender yourself to Him today, not your stuff but your heart.

This week with JP Duminy, The spirit of Fear.
God is Good, there is no darkness in Him.
He has sown good seed into the world.
His enemy sows bad seed in the same place.
Now is not the time for separation, but for unity.
We are not called to judge, but to be and love.
The church is not perfect but it is His family.
God’s house is a safe haven for the whosoever.
There were many symbols reflected upon this weekend.
Craig starts with a brief explanation of the egg of pass-over meal.
In order to take hold of the new, we need to let go of the old.
The principal of leaving and cleaving.
He then moves on to the way our brokenness and pain cloud our vision.
When everybody else can see what’s in front of us.
He looks at the pain of the disciples which informs their doubt and fear.
Then how a revelation of the risen Lord changes our view and belief.
This Palm Sunday we’re focused on crowd mentality.
How we can get swept up in following popular opinion.
We looked at the context of crowning kings and our expectation of these events.
Jesus engaged and planned His entry by being intentional towards prophecy and scripture.
He embraced death and teaches us to hear His voice and stand out of the crowd.
Less Art More Heart
Don’t be a hypocrite.
Guard your heart.
Don’t do meaningless repetition.
Find your safe Space.
Remember that He knows.
Know the name and believe.
When we pray we identify with our humanity.
We accept our limitations and recognize His deity.
We can pray in different ways but conversations require both talking and listening.
We look at how Jesus prayed in the garden.
How the God-man identified with his human limitations and surrendered to the Father’s will.
We face our fear and exchange it for confidence in the Lord.
Forgiveness is not just saying I forgive you.
It’s more than letting go.
It’s knowing the offence or debt and addressing it.
Then it requires a decision followed by a communication of intent,
that all rights to you legal claim is forgone and relinquished.
It is both an event and a process.
We are all faced with sickness, challenges or even death on a regular basis.
After a testimony of miraculous healing, we have a teaching based on the tension of the already/not yet of healing.
Based on Gen 2, we follow the rationale of creation of the place created for life.
How our temporary bodies will give way to death and make room for a permanent dwelling for our Spirit.
How neither life nor death can separate from His love in Christ Jesus.
The Lord has gone to prepare this place for us and Our hope is in the resurrection of the body.
The Lord wants to demonstrate His love to us.
His Love always motivates His actions.
He Knows what’s in our hearts and what motivates us.
He is our Good Father, His heart is for us.
He wants us to experience His grace.
He never takes away our choice.
He will protect His children from harm.
So choose Life and let His children live.
