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!

Obedience and Commitment are big things in Gods Kingdom

Reading in Acts 7 this morning the story through Stephen of Abraham being told by God to " Leave your country and your people and go the the land I will show you" So he left the land of the Chaldeans and settled in Haran. After the death of his father, God sent him to this land where you are now living. He gave him no inheritance here, not even a foot of ground. But God promised him that he and his descendants after him would possess the land, even though at that time Abraham had no child." As I reflected on this and the journey of Abraham stepping out in faith into a land that he received no inheritance in but a promise of what was to come for his descendants of which we live in the fruit of that, I thought of todays generations in which often is only doing things that we want to do or that will benefit us personally as we live for 'today' not worrying about tomorrow. A sense of if it feels good then do it, if it doesn't then we will move on - perhap

6 legged sheep???

In the weekend I saw a vision of a sheep that had six legs. And what I believe the Lord is saying, there are many sheep, (followers of Christ), but they are trusting in their own strength and not in mine. When we trust in our own strength and abilities we forfeit the grace that can be ours, the enabling that comes from stepping out in faith in the impossible, the testimonies that give God the glory rather than the expectation of what should be because we have put our hand to something. God is the God of the impossible and in order for the miracles, the testimonies, we need to be a people that step out in what we can't do and allow God to come in and do the impossible. That may simply be asking the Lord to help you to forgive someone that has hurt you so much, to getting on a plane with no finances because the Lord has asked you to, to continue to stay in a job/church/marriage/relationship you don't want to because that is where God has placed you, to praying for a

The baby's been handed over

Several weeks ago the Lord shifted us out of the 'home office' into the 'market place' and in the process a spiritual shift happened - one of letting the 'baby' go, a releasing and handing over the batten, so to speak to others. In this process the nests that WE ALL have been in have been stirred up, shaken about, and pushed out, to fly in ways that perhaps we were too afraid to do previously. The amazing thing with God is that He knows the timing of all of this and where each one of us is at and what we can handle. Yes there has been a fluttering of wings in panic. Yes, we have had a few weeks of challenge as authority and structures get changed and challenged, frustrations coming to the fore, but love helps us overcome, love helps us to forgive, love helps us to see the good and not the dirt, love helps us remember our own failings and yet forgiveness and grace that the Lord has for me, that I can give to others, remembering it's the glory of G

Don't worry, you wont miss the bus.

Last night I had this dream and there were a bunch of people at my house and we all decided to go somewhere by bus. Because we had to lock up the house, Jim and I missed the bus, while the others managed to make it. I found myself getting a little frustrated with Jim as he seemed to be so slow in locking everything up. Jim & I got there just in time to see their bus drive away. We were left standing in the rain. But then the thinking came, its alright, we will just catch the next bus. Some of us may feel at times like we have missed our opportunity. That we have missed what The Lord would have us do, and in that we can get a little frustrated by people around us and even perhaps blame people for where things are at, at least I know I do at times. :) But I believe The Lord wants to encourage people today, including myself, that you don't need to worry, just rest and be at peace and you will soon get another opportunity. Like waiting for a bus at a bus stop, they come

Do you feel like you are being tossed around in the wind?

I believe there are some out there who feel like they are being tossed about from one thing to the other, not sure where they are heading or what they are believing for and this is a time when you just want to give up and walk away from the promises God has put inside of you. I want to encourage you to keep going and as it says in James 1:2 " Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything." I know that sometimes you don't consider it all joy when you go through trials but believe me, it develops things in you that you will be grateful for if you don't give up and you will see fruit in your life and those around you should you learn to walk in patience and perseverance. These are times you don't want to be a lone sheep but instead get yourself around people of faith wh

Do you feel alone or discouraged today?

I was greatly encouraged this morning as I read 2 Timothy chapter 4. This chapter outlines some of Paul’s struggles and how people loved the world and followed their ways and in so doing caused much harm towards Paul and his ministry, but his hope remained in the Lord and His reward comes from Christ alone. Verse 10 “Demas has forsaken me” Verse 14 “Alexander the coppersmith did me much harm” People can come and go out of your life. People can cause trouble, but we are called as Christians to endure hardship as it says in 2 Timothy 2:3 “Endure hardship as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. No one engaged in warfare entangles himself with the affairs of this life, that he may please him who enlisted him as a solider”. 2:10 “Therefore I endure all things for the sake of the elect, that they also may obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.’ We go through many things in life, many challenges and it is easy to look to man, to get discouraged b
