Kingdom Faith.........

I have just got home from spending the afternoon with my Aunt who attends Roffey Bible College in Horsham.

I attended a conference with her this evening and Pastor Colin Urquhart was preaching - all I can say is WOW!!! He was speaking the exact words I needed to hear. We were looking at Revelation 3:15-21.

Colin spoke about how God hates half-heartedness, He hates compromise, He hates luke-warmness. God hates these things because these things are far less than what He made possible for us, by pouring His love and Spirit in our hearts.

In verse 18 it states "I counsel you to buy from me gold refined in the fire, so you can become rich..." How can you become rich in God? To buy gold refined in the fire. The fire causes the impurities to come to the top, the scum is then skimmed off. This process is then repeated to purify you again.

God wants you to be on fire, not luke-warm. It is so easy for us to coast along with the Lord.

God asks us to buy the gold from Him. Meaning we can only get the precious gold if we give of ourselves. We need to be refined and purified, so when we give of ourselves He puts us in the fire to purify and refine us.

This fire also produces passion. Passion enables us to do what God wants us to do. If we want to be in the glory of God we need to make every effort to be in the glory of God. Anything less than this, is failure.

This fire is within all of us.

2 Timothy 1:6 "...I remind you to fan into flame the gift of God..."

Lord You're Holy.......

I have been reflecting in many things this week and a real song of meditation and amazing worship for me has been Karen Wheaton "Lord You're Holy" . I was introduced to it at Kingdom Faith by Jane Urquhart at an amazing women's conference I attended there. The Lyrics are just awesome which is why I wanted to share them with you. Lord You’re holy, Lord You’re holy and we lift You up and magnify Your name I look around and I see, All the works Your hands have made, The awesomeness of You, And how Your love will never fade, Mere words cannot express what I feel inside, I can’t describe Your glory divine, But as a token of my love, This is what I’ll do, I lift my hands and cry, Lord You’re holy, Lord You’re holy and we lift You up and magnify Your name There’s not enough words that I can say, To tell You how much, I appreciate, all the wonderful things, You’ve given me, Your love and kindness, Your tender mercies, It’s my desire, to praise You and to tell You how much,...

Peacemaker..........

Tonight we took some of the youth to hear Tony Anthony speak. It was truly inspiring and moving. I know the youth loved it and lapped up every second available to them, so much so they all have his book 'Taming the Tiger' and want to talk about what was said at youth cell this week. After such a powerful session I wanted to go and wind down and just spend some time out, not doing anything except exsisting. So I took a slow drive down to Southend, my intention to take a walk along the sea front and just breathe the air available. I parked up overlooking the sea and just thought. I had no real train of thought or specific prayer points I wanted to cover. I just let my mind and God's words lead me. I then put on the most stunning CD a beautiful friend did for me. The song 'Peacemaker' by Greg Ferguson started to play. Each word in the song is so heart touching and thought provoking - it is just a truly magnificent song. Just to ease your minds I did manage to drive h...

Try it on My Own......

I have been learning a new song for a while. It has been a Whitney Houston song called 'Try it on my own" . I wanted to perform it tonight for the first time so I have been really listening to it over the last couple of days. The lyrics are truly stunning. When I first started to learn the song I interpreted it as being a song from a crushed and broken woman getting ready to stand on her own two feet and build her life back from the ashes that it has become because of the pressures of another person. I felt it was a song about reclaiming identity. I connected with the song as a Christian and felt that the words to me meant cutting the ties of the past and having my new identity birthed. However listening to the song again over the past few days I have realised it is not how I want to be as a Christian. "And I am not afraid to try it on my own I don't care if I'm right or wrong I'll live my life the way I feel No matter what I'll keep it real you know Tim...
