Fulfilment of a promise made to God

Today is a fulfilment of a promise I made to God 21 years ago. Before Libby was born we had a miscarriage and I had a difficult pregnancy. I told God that to the best of my ability I would do everything I could to bring her up to love him. Today is very special. Libby is go to be Baptised this evening. My prayer is that she and all those being Baptised this evening will bring many to know and love the Lord as they enjoy their walk with God.

The cross-generational effect of prayer

Inspiring messages on Sunday from Dave Warren and James Gandon encouraging us to pray continually (without ceasing). Being Father’s Day I ‘phoned my dad in Norwich who is 91 next week and known the Lord for the last 46 years.

Peter

I had fun meditating on Acts 12 this this morning...I imagined myself as Peter in Prison. How must he have been feeling?

Prayer and incense

During the time of prayer this morning, I had a strong "smell" of incense and then had a picture of smoke rising from the congregation as if from an incense stick. Against the smoke, colours seemed to change until there appeared a background of purple which I believe represented heaven touching earth. Purple is often depicted as a royal colour but it is also a mix of blue (the heavens) and red (the earth).

Everyday armour

Thanks for Elaine's helpful reminder, teaching and correction from Sunday's sermon.

Thanks today for being able to be in London for Jubilee concert. For going to St Margaret's right by Westminster to the chapel of Christ the Intercessor, a historic, beautiful and spiritual place to pray for this day, for whatever the Lord is doing and blessings for all God's family.

Surrounded by all this unity, sights and sounds, all amazing.

Heavenly army

A week ago during the worship part of the morning service I saw an army of chariots and horses radiating out above the congregation in waves. At the peak of this army was a charioteer holding high a banner in one raised arm and controlling 4 galloping horses with the other. I felt this awesome sight was to do with the story in 2 Kings 6.

Clothed for battle

In the first days of holiday, if feeling battle weary, it is wonderful to have both the luxury and neccesity of being able to sit quiet for much longer in waiting spirit prayer, then stepping outside and running with it. It never dissapoints and I am so thankful for it.
