amazing God

wow how amazing God is how faithful. I have seen more and more of his glory over the past year than in my life time, doesnt that tell us something God is saying listen move on and i have experienced this explosion of the Holy spirit in our church over recent years that i wonder how the world would take it how can we express in words to the unsaved. its staring you in the face, recently over the last three months i have been blessed by ministering to a dear friend who reached a cross roads in her ministry was suppressd by the enemy suffercated by those ubable to be open to Gods calling, I felt her pain and hurt God gave me a picture of a butterfly free to minister the way God led her, many times God told me your dealing with a unique ministry, misunderstood by some rejected by others suppressed by the suppressors upheld by those who live and breath in close relationship with our glorious Lord. constantly God reminded me your not dealing with a man made mould only I can mould you I created you, so often people who do not fit into the picture we feel church should be, are rejected by those God has annointed us to love , we prayed together we supported each other we just loved for who we are, although many times i was reminded my friend didnt fit the pattern avoid this, God held me firm in his knowledge of her heart and where this person was coming from. God reminded me of the sometimes misunderstood ministry of Kathryn Kuhlman when asked about childhood memories of Kathyn a women raised in her home town spoke with distain, inuendos snide insinuations all negative reminding me 0f matthew 13 v 57 a prophet is honoured everywhere except in his own country, this applied to Jesus and still applies to-day on some occasions, all this i saw in my friend and many times ministered on Gods faithfulness stand firm in the Lord, and you will be used mighterly, the strength God gave her to stay firm in her belief of the ministry God has honoured her with, The reason i am writing is a testamony of Gods faithfullness, My friend has been asked to take her ministry thousands of miles to Kenya all expences paid, to appear on the God chanel with her song and testamony, and so much more. The moral is listen to God, man will lead you his way, not always Gods way, Only through prayer can we achieve and be released in Gods will for us. closed sealed hands and soft knees will not lead us onward, bow to Gods will in prayer listen to his voice do not be misled by by the worldly attitude and wow.

the journey

sunday we met together for a time of prayer and reflection about ten people came together extremely good number for a prayer meeting as it doesnt entertain it isnt sitting back in a comfitable chair prayer is all about you and all effort comes from you.
The journey was a walk through prayer time taking the plan Jesus laid out for us The Lords prayer, howJesus lead us into gods presence, firstly we looked at how important order is to God he created in an order to achieve perfection. The Lords prayer takes us through order to achieve the ultimate intimatcy. The Bible is an example of Gods order, numbers are relevent and each have a prcific meaning.
No 1 represents singleness ephesians 4 v7 speaks of oneness John speaks of unity all together in oneness when we are speaking in prayer we are at oneness two people joined together as one.
no 2 represents the truth two witnesses to clarify the truth no 2 is used 21 times in Daniel and rev in respect of figure two
3 represents the Godhead the trinity
4 represents universal truth the four corners north south east and west the four winds all expressing God is for all in every direction
5 refers to the teaching the 5 books of moses are teaching books Jesus used the figure five in his ministry five loaves, five virgins all teaching
6 represents mankinds rebellion imperfection its used 273 times God created man on the 6th day and the rebellion is clear in that area in Rev 666 identifies the mark of satan it identifies the stain satan can leave on your life
7 represents perfection God completion of creation on the 7th day seven is the most important it represents everything of God
rev sets the foundations
seven churches the foundation
seven spirits the life of the church
seven candlesticks the light of Jesus
seven trumpets the sound that reaches out
seven thunders the warning beware theres rough weather ahead
seven mountains trials ahead to climb, endurance, faith.
seven slain the lost
seven kings the glory the prize the victory

The lords prayer is taken in seven stages
start the journey our father which art in heaven, call on his name call him into your presence before you take another step in your prayers
2 hallowed be thy name recognising the holiness the magestic position God has in our lives
3 thy Kindom come speaks of Gods authority its all about you jesus
4 thy will be done total submission giving ourselves totally into gods hands
5 having gone though stages 1-4 we have prepared the way cleared the path to be intermate in oneness with God. Give us this day our daily bread to enable us to be that position to ask to recognise his love and his grace over our lives the first four stages are important
6 forgive us our trespasses, with these words we recognise our own worthyness and how we have failed God its a time of cleansing asking protection over our lives
7 for thine is the kindom the final step in our Journey the ultimate triumph the reign over all
we followed this example as we went from stage to stage regarding our church.
