Step Up & Step In. Overview of the two days. JUST A BLESSED TIME

Wow thankyou Jesus!   For the first semi major event we have ever hosted we were blown away how the Lord brought it together.  The people who put up their hand and helped out were just fantastic!  Each and every one making it what it was.  Honestly the peace of the Lord was all over it.  Each person just took their position whether being asked or not and stepped up into it with such strength and capability that it blew Jim and I away.  THANKYOU TO ALL for releasing what was in your hand - your loaves and fishes!

As for Nicky and the Band, what can we say - you guys too stepped up in such a powerfully anointed way.  It was awesome.  The worship was so led by the spirit and you could see the effort and time you had put in paid off so powerfully with peace and rest flowing from the throne.  If you haven't seen these guys before and need a itinerant worship group then people get a hold of these guys!    www.nickymoran.com

As for the rest - while truly the REST & PEACE of the Lord was so there.  Every session once again different as you moved led by the Spirit to what he wanted to minister to.

The first night being one of the Power of God being released.   The fire of God so evident touching people radically. The talk centered around whose house are you building from Haggai and to finding the precious jewels in the field in Matt 13:44 that we sell all we have to buy that field.  Some needed a fresh touch from the Lord to remember the preciousness of those jewels that they had once found.  

The second was so gentle with the Lord dealing with areas of grief and broken relationships followed with communion - it was so special.  Jim spoke about being grafted into the vine and that we have a choice to come in and be a part of the family or sitting outside watching from a distance sharing his example of our new kitten.

The third session more of breaking the chains and setting the captives free to be who they were called to be.  The talk was about the body and how we needed each part of the body to function because if we don't we withhold our gift to the rest of the body.  People began sharing what the Lord was showing them to everyone, one by one words of knowledge came, pictures came, testimony came, just wonderful to see the different parts of body being released to bring together a whole picture.

And the final session talked about humility and what is true humility and man's humility and sharing what you have with others in the market place through testimonies shared.  The understanding of knowing who you are with the authority that you have in Christ yet being able to be a servant.  It doesn't matter what you do or who you are under, you can be a free person full of authority yet serve as Christ did.

All Glory and praise to the Lord as he changed each one of us.  For Jim and myself it too was a step up into what the Lord has been saying leaving behind fear of man and stepping into what God says about us and the anointing he has given us to walk in.  We are growing in it as each of us are, but we press on in faith believing that He can do what He said he will do, realising without Him we can do nothing!  It was a vision come to pass for us this past weekend and then the Lord would say, its even more than you think, ask or imagine (Eph 3:20) so what we are seeing is nothing compared to what is to come.  There is always more in the Lord so never allow yourselves to settle with where you are at because the Lord would encourage to continue to press on in Him in faith and see what He will do.  When we realise we can't do it and step out in that, then He steps in and gets all the glory and praise that is due His name.  When we are obedient to his voice and trust when he says that those who trust in him will never be put to shame, then we begin to come into some of the fullness of joy that the Lord has promised to those who love him.  Continue to press on in Him people.  Bless each one of you!  The Lord has good plans for you, plans to prosper and not to harm, plans with a hope and a future!

A challenge from the Book of Haggai

“Is it a time for you yourselves to be living in paneled houses while this house remains a ruin?” This is the word that popped up to me this morning as I sat down and felt I needed to share it here. Haggai is a wonderful book that reminds us of the right priorities in life, it is only a couple of pages long so take the time to read it in one sitting.  I quote from the NIV application study bible;       “Pressures, demands, expectations, and tasks push in from all sides and assault our schedules.  Do!  Be There!  Finish that! Call them!  It seems as though everyone wants something from us – family, friends, employer, school, church, clubs.  Soon there is little left to give, as we run out of energy and time.  We find ourselves rushing through life, attending to the necessary, the immediate, and the urgent.  The important is all too often left in the dust.  Our problem is not the volume of d...

Latest Prayer Update

Since writing last – We continue to pray about the tent meeting but the Lord seems to continue to have that on hold as I believe he has another way of doing the same thing but in a new way where the whole body will be used and so we wait until all the pieces come together.   Please be patient with us in this. Africa – We continue to have words given to us about Africa and so the Lord is definitely talking about Africa but he seems to be widening the vision with it all, not just Malawi.   It seems more like at this stage visiting a number of African Countries wherever the Lord leads, empowering people – a bit like the last China trip but for longer and more countries and so too we wait for all the pieces to fit together. He has said to have our bags packed ready to go at a moments notice and so we have done that by faith, there are just a few other things that need to come together to make this possible.    Picton – We were blessed to be part of a team that we...

Guest Ministry - Linda Hartzell from America

We are blessed to have join us on Wednesday the 25th at Puketaha Hall this amazing powerful woman of the Lord - Linda Hartzell - She  travels internationally as a missionary / evangelist and conference speaker.  She has ministered in over 45 nations of the world and has been in ministry for 30 years. I was honoured to be able hear her speak this last Sunday at Life Church and highly recommend her and the power she speaks confirming the season as to which we are in:  Come along - All welcome. 7pm A little about her:     " At the young age of 22 Linda's ministry was launched in the "heat" of the great Argentina Revival.  She has experienced and seen first hand the incredible impact that the power of God can have upon an entire nation, when God's eyes look upon that nation for revival.      Linda's message is prophetic in nature with insight and understanding of the times and a directional message of where God is takin...

Don't be deceived - be careful who you are following

I had this dream the other day where I saw a whole bunch of my friends following after a lady who was popular and well known and they were going to hear her but as they got in her possession she was evil and was out to kill them, she was deliberately deceiving them. I found myself in this dream warning the people not to follow her and so now I find myself warning people about being deceived and not to follow after people. We are not to follow after people, we are to follow after God and Jesus Christ.  We are not to look to people for what they can give us but we are to look to God.  If we look to God and read his word then it is harder to become deceived because the word of God is truth and it reveals truth as we read it and we find the areas of error that may be coming in. I find myself sometimes heading down a certain direction and becoming a little unbalanced in my theology (my beliefs) until I read the word again which brings me back in line ...

A love that lays its life down for another.....

Something that Jim and I are working through is the understandings of grace and freedom that is flying around at the moment and how that effects our lives and how we live it out on a daily basis with those around us. We live in a society that is instant, that we have what we want whenever we want it.  That its all about me and my freedoms of thinking, of speech, of rights as dictated by the law under a democratic system. So how does that effect how we behave and think as a Christian under a 'Kingdom' system of authority, of servanthood and yielding, dare I put the word 'submitting', choosing to be a 'bond slave' for Christ? Of surrending our rights so that the person alongside is built up and not made to feel worse because of where they are at which is not the same place as me? I see it time and time again as we fight for our rights to be 'free' under Christ, start to walk in that freedom, then lord that freedom over other people and to a point of ...

Prov 4:23 "Above all else guard your heart for it is the wellspring of life"

"Sticks and stones will break my bones, but words will never hurt me"  Yeah right! Peoples' comments and judgements toward us hurt very much and hinder our walk with the Lord and with others, but the Lord would say this morning from Proverbs 4:23 to "guard our heart for it is the wellspring of life." God judges very differently than man and we see in the story of 1 Samuel 16 where the Prophet Samuel is called to anoint a new King and in verses 6&7  "Samuel saw Eliab and thought, 'Surely the Lord's anointed stands here before the Lord'.  But the Lord said to Samuel 'Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him.  The Lord does not look at the things man looks at.  Man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart." How quickly we judge by what we see and hear, but the Lord calls us not to do that, but to look at the heart. Psalm 139:23-24  "Search me, O God and know my heart, tes...
