Creating ‘spaces’ to experience the presence of God

Christianity

November 24th, 2011

Christianity isn’t supposed to be what you do it is supposed to be who you are. A Christ centred one.

Proverbs 27:1 Message trans.

November 22nd, 2011

Don’t brashly announce what you’re going to do tomorrow; you don’t know the first thing about tomorrow. Don’t call attention to yourself; let others do that for you. Carrying a log across your shoulders while you’re hefting a boulder with your arms Is nothing compared to the burden of putting up with a fool.

As Iron sharpens Iron

November 22nd, 2011

This has been a key verse for me for probably 20years. Guys we need each other, we need to be open and vulnerable and to listen to and even request input from others. Otherwise we go dull.

“As iron sharpens iron, So a man sharpens the countenance of his friend.” Prov27.17.NKJV

Good Day

November 21st, 2011

Having a Good Day! I just hooked up a traveling ministry team in Bangalore, India with a young local Indian pastor there. I know God is ON this, turns out they are just 15mins apart!! In India that is amazing! Gotta love what God can put together.

The other guy

November 20th, 2011

God wants you to experience pleasure, not torture or punishment. That is the other guy.

Don’t add

November 18th, 2011

Don’t add what the Lord is doing to what you do. Make what the Lord is going the only thing that you do. Bill Johnson

Flood lit

November 18th, 2011

The devil can only operate where there is an absence of light. Make sure your life is floodlit with Him.

1 John 2:6 NKJV

November 18th, 2011

He who says he abides in Him ought himself also to walk just as He walked.

Scholars

November 17th, 2011

Scholars pride on their knowledge of God or the scriptures, but I haven’t seen this lead to a lot of Love-abandonment for Jesus or freedom. If you want true freedom in your love-pursuit of God then I believe we need to be able to esteem our heart responses to God above our head responses to Him. This love abandonment is beautiful indeed. Yes He is that Good and yes we can trust our hearts to Him that much. MG

Reverence, Awe & Holiness. Lord teach me more about these.

Whose life?

November 16th, 2011

Ever since I have truly believed that God could do a better job of running my life than I could. My life has gotten unbelievably freer and wonderfully better. Best handover that I have ever done.

From His perspective

November 14th, 2011

Nothing that stands against us, around us, or that is leaning on us is formidable from God’s perspective. When we truly know who God is and His stance and affections towards us then we can always rest and sleep firmly and deeply in His arms. He is GOOD! MG

Faith

November 14th, 2011

There are a lot of massively awesome things in the Bible, we just have to choose if we are going to believe them and then live as though we do believe them. Hang on that’d be Faith!

Handy work

November 12th, 2011

God wants to reveal to you the significance of His handy work in your life. Bill Johnson

Love response

November 11th, 2011

Worship isn’t a production, it’s a Love response.

Play Worship

November 11th, 2011

Do some Play worship with your kids today. Invite them to play with Jesus, it’s awesome what they will come up with. No adult rules allowed, whatever they come up with is great.

Screwed in right

November 10th, 2011

Just listened to another CLASSIC message by Bill Johnson. Awesome! It is all about being properly connected to Him, it’s not about us and what we do.

Rest

November 10th, 2011

Why do we get so hung up on doing works or deeds for God, when He has told us that His desire for us is to enter into His Rest? We need to move from thinking like slaves to thinking like sons.

Where it wishes

November 10th, 2011

The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear the sound of it, but cannot tell where it comes from and where it goes. So is everyone who is born of the Spirit.

John 3.8 NKJV

Prayer

November 10th, 2011

Prayer is soooooo powerful. Why do we neglect it so?
