pray for the coming penticost weekend pray that the holy spirit will manifest in a mighty way to all members of the church family in either S Willesbourgh or Bournemouth. We see in the book of acts the disciples joined together and prayed constantly, they prayed because they believed Jesus when he said you will RECEIVE power when the Holy Spirit comes on you, other wise why didnt they just disperse and go to their homes, they had seen Jesus die he appeared to them for forty days eating walking speaking to them then he was taken from them before their own eyes yet he had commanded them to stay there and wait for the gift of the Holy spirit because of their obedience and constant prayer they were all filled with the holy spirit. There is a song we sing which ends if you want it its yours. It can be all of ours if we truly want it, through constant prayer, asking God to fill us in a way never experienced before in our lives. The time of penticost wasnt yesteryear its today now and its for us lets believe in true faith that if we want it its ours. I truly believe God will manifest himself to us maybe not like a violent wind but if we ready ourselves you will know without a doubt God is in our mist, I have had such experience of God lately in my own church and other places, The south Ashford welcome-in has such a atmosphere of Gods presence its a drop in morning yet god has other uses for that time many people come and join us for just coffee light snacks ect nobody leaves there without an uplift because the whole topic of conversation is Gods love each expressing their faith sometimes to strangers without embarrassment or fear of rejection, testimony experience and the joy of God in their lives is the only conversation from their lips, we have Cathy a seeker not sure yet but willing to listen and help coming to know Christ in a mighty way by being in the mist of Spirit filled company. jUST GET EXCITED ABOUT PENTICOST AND TONGUES OF FIRE WILL POUR DOWN

what a privelidge it is to meet together before each meeting and ask Gods blessing on every person who is attending. to cover the holy ground to prepare ourselves and each other for what God has in store for us, I have been made more and more aware of the blessings received when we commit ourselves to prayer. What more honour could there be than when God exposes himself in a glorious way as i can witness too. So often its easier to just sit in a chair on the outside unaware of the intercession surrounding you in the inner circle but what are you receiving?, to just walk into Gods presence and chatter about things that dont matter. how can we ask God to pour his blessings down on us when our mouths speak and not our hearts. 1 john 3-3 says every one who has hope in him purifies himself. We cannot live in the world and not at times get dirty its not only the robes we wear but thoughts we have, the words we speak the actions performed, if anyone can say I am spotless when approaching Gods presence then church has no place for them as they are as pure as the almighty himself. How can we stand in his holy presence lift holy hands sing joyously before we have cleansed ourselves of all our sins in repentance there is no better opportunity than to meet as a family to prepare the way for God to pour out his blessings on us. Last sunday morning and disciple college in the evening was just a taste of how God responses when the ground we walk on and hearts are ready by firstly by repentance how much more will God bless us if we are as one family come before him with a clean heart, try it join us sunday mornings in and around our church note the our because it is for all of us. I can witness to the glorious miricles God has granted when tears of repentance flow when the only words on the lips when coming before our God are to glorify him.
