James 1:2-8

This morning at prayer we looked at James 1:2-8 and we had excellent teaching from Kimil. It's lovely to join with the International Church to Worship and Pray together.

Feel the fear and do it anyway, just like Joshua (or perhaps a little bit like Joshua)

Hello,

At risk of over blogging I thought I would share some more thoughts. We are now on the battle of Jericho. Now I know Joshua is heralded as a model leader in Christian circles, but in all honesty, he is a bit too "yeah, let's go and kill loads of people" for my liking....  but once again I decided to crop, cut and paste the grizzly bits onto my mental clip-board for further study at some point, and focus on the spiritual parallels which is what we are doing living in the tension between the "now" and the "not yet".  

Struggling with Deuteronomy 31.1-8

Hi all,

I really struggled with today's passage in Deuteronomy 31:1-8.  The reason being is that we are starting to get into the "let's all drive out all these people and conquer the land" territory and I find it difficult to come to terms with this happening, all these people being killed so the Israelites can get into the land of milk and honey. So my prayer initially was "Lord, this is really difficult for me to get my head round.  Sorry but that's the way it is." This is a big issue, that needs time for me to deal with, and so I decided to park this thought for now and come back to it at another point when I have more time to give to it.

Be healed

Tuesday 18th September 6.30am prayer meeting
We prayed for John McGinley. James 5 v14-15.
Please do likewise all you who read this. "And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well".

Be still

Thanks Hils for your latest comments on Exodus.

I haven't looked at the Breathe blog for several weeks but felt prompted to do so on Monday morning. The reading from Exodus 14:13-14 has been very much on my heart this week too....and, unknown to Hils, I went for a prayer ministry appointment later that day.

What now?

"What now?" said a headline in today's Times Newspaper following the Olympics and Paralympics. We might see "What now?" in Trinity News following the 24-7 Prayer and fasting week. Both were amazing, inspirational, encouraging events.

Singing Songs of Freedom

Hi chaps,

I was just thinking and reflecting about Exodus this week and thought "What an ungrateful bunch all those Israelites were!" All that complaining in the desert and telling Moses that at least when they were in Egypt they had food in their bellies etc etc.  Anyone else want to throw their Bible across the room when they read that?  I did. Poor Moses. Being the chosen one to bring the Israelites out of Egypt was no easy task was it?

Prayer room

What a wonderful atmosphere in the prayer room last night.  Could we not continue it one or two days a week?  It would be such a blessing to have a place you could go to to meet with God without any distractions.

The day God invited my dad to accept His gift of eternal life

31st August 2012

God has shown his faithfulness in answer to my prayer and fasting today. My dad has been listening to me speaking God's word to him every week since I was saved, he used to comment about every road leading to God with me, all my conversations lead upwards! I used to wonder why I always spoke with such conviction and now I realise it was the Holy Spirit working through me to prepare my dad's heart for the invitation.

Craving God

I decided to fast from coffee during the 24-7 prayer week.  My main drink is tea but over the past year I have got used to having a couple of coffees a day (a cappuccino from the coffee shop and a home-made coffee), and I have begun to anticipate my first coffee of the day more keenly – often as I drive to work.

Early morning prayer

What a wonderful early morning prayer session led by Kimil Park today - Mark 1 v 35. I must remember to set my alarm clock an hour or two earlier and do likewise.

Thoughts about Moses

Hi all,

I have been loving our times in the Bible with Moses. Now I love Moses. He happens to be one of my favourite people in the bible, I totally relate to him and every time I read about him I learn something new.
