The church must leave the building!

We have seen so much unsettling change in the last few years culminating with the riots in London. The Lord has laid on my heart the message that it is time to leave the safety of our buildings and get onto the streets with the message of hope and salvation. Every believer in Christ can do this ….. it’s dead easy!

The “streets” won’t come to us (the established church) – we have to go to them. Now more than ever, house to house, shop to shop, station to station, borough to borough, school to school, park to park as we walk, talk, shop, travel, meet and greet we must actively pray and release the love and peace of Christ onto our streets.  Prayer works and changes the atmosphere.

Garden of responsibility: ALL are needed

The Lord showed me a well kept lawn area which was part of a larger garden - there appeared to be preparation going on, tables being put out and kids playing around.  At the end of this lawned area there was a pathway leading to another part of the garden - the area was walled and was laid out with raised planter boxes with people tending veggie's etc and chatting. As I walked around it became apparent that each box had a different soil type and the plants growing were suited to that soil type and that each plant/veg/fruit type had a person responsible for that particular plant/veg/fruit etc.

What struck me is that the "responsible person" was an expert on their area of responsibility and in the vision these experts were sharing information and giving advice to each other with passion and enthusiasm.

I sensed that the head gardener had come into the walled area and he was saying that the meal was nearly ready and could everyone bring to the table what had been grown - he emphasized that to ensure the success of the meal - every part of the garden had something to contribute - in fact it was the diversity of the "fruit of garden" that would make the meal - every element (herbs, greens, legumes, fruit etc etc) was needed.

A fourth wave is coming to cleanse the land

Sunday 15 May 2011 (Forest Hill Community Church)

"There was a wave which swept over the land. It swept away the old things and changed the landscape forever.

There was a second wave, different from the first; it refreshed and renewed what the first wave had done.

Then there was a third wave, but this wave was dark and full of destruction. It swept over the land sweeping things away and leaving devastation in it's wake. That's where things stayed. 

A fourth wave is coming! 
 A fourth wave is coming!
   A fourth wave is coming!

This wave will wash away the debris of the third wave and will cleanse the land.  This wave is what the Spirit wants,  not what man desires"

Open the doors!

 ^{Psalm 24 (7 to 10)}

 ⁷ Lift up your heads, O you gates!
         And be lifted up, you everlasting doors!
         And the King of glory shall come in.
 ⁸ Who is this King of glory?
         The LORD strong and mighty,
         The LORD mighty in battle.
 ⁹ Lift up your heads, O you gates!
         Lift up, you everlasting doors!
         And the King of glory shall come in.
 ¹⁰ Who is this King of glory?
         The LORD of hosts,
         He is the King of glory.  Selah
