Why Pray 2
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.
Why Pray – the art of conversation
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.
The Last shall be the First
Your destiny is a measurable point of your journey.
The Lord sets in place the principle of first.
Prototypes are the foundations of what will be built.
The apostolic lays foundations and sets order in place.
God wants to bring order into your chaos.
What will have to be set in order.
When the Chief apostle, the cornerstone, brings order he brings:
healing, deliverance and life.
is this forgiveness
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.
The Mystery of Life
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.
Roxanne’s Encounter
We all experience the Father differently.
Just like each child has a unique relationship with their father.
Roxanne’s relationship with the Father was influenced by an encounter with Him.
In this testimony she share’s how in having three strokes and taken to hospital where she believes she died and met her Lord.
She recounts certain details about what that experience was like and how it changed her life.
She speaks about how she now is more intentional about things she took for granted and has learnt to appreciate every breath she takes.
She is reluctant to share because people tend to want to make something special out of something she accepts as ‘normal’ and her desire is to see everybody have their own unique relationship with the Father.
Craig interviews her to facilitate a movement towards a time of ministry in the Spirit.
Refreshed and Renewed
Refreshing and renewing is part of God’s plan for us.
He allows us to endure situations to refine us.
He has included fire in our life cycle.
He also pours the living water of refreshing.
But He sows good soil into our tilled hearts.
The Spirit wants us to grow into our full potential.
So we need to allows the Father access to intimacy to reveal and initiate His will for our lives.
Walk in Love
Ephesians 4:32 till 5:2
To love is to imitate God who Loves perfectly
Therefore, To love first and foremost is to forgive.
We extend the Charis – the Grace
Giving Grace to others because the blood of Jesus has redeemed us,
allows His work to be completed in us and through us.
The cross is the ruling principal of Christian living.
Love is sacrificial self giving.
So what are you willing to give?
As you have received, freely give. Be it love, forgiveness or acceptance.
You are the beloved children of God.
O How He loves us
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.
Lord Let Your Glory Fall
God seeks to give you purpose, not to make you happy.
Happiness is not a kingdom principle, Joy is.
What is the difference between happiness and Joy?
How do I surrender myself into His purpose for me?
Enter into the joy of the Lord and receive the Holy Spirit.
