🗡️🏴❤️....'Who is wise and understanding among you? Let them show it by their good life, by deeds done in the humility that comes from wisdom. But if you harbor bitter envy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast about it or deny the truth. Such “wisdom” does not come down from heaven but is earthly, unspiritual, demonic. For where you have envy and selfish ambition, there you find disorder and every evil practice. But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere. Peacemakers who sow in peace reap a harvest of righteousness.'James 3:13-18 NIV....'If you consider yourself to be wise and one who understands the ways of God, advertise it with a beautiful, fruitful life guided by wisdom’s gentleness. Never brag or boast about what you’ve done and you’ll prove that you’re truly wise. But if there is bitter jealousy or competition hiding in your heart, then don’t deny it and try to compensate for it by boasting and being phony. For that has nothing to do with God’s heavenly wisdom but can best be described as the wisdom of this world, both selfish and devilish. So wherever jealousy and selfishness are uncovered, you will also find many troubles and every kind of meanness. But the wisdom from above is always pure, filled with peace, considerate and teachable. It is filled with love and never displays prejudice or hypocrisy in any form and it always bears the beautiful harvest of righteousness! Good seeds of wisdom’s fruit will be planted with peaceful acts by those who cherish making peace.'James 3:13-18 TPT
🗡️🏴❤️.... “He who covers and forgives an offense seeks love, But he who repeats or gossips about a matter separates intimate friends.” Proverbs 17:9 AMP....“A fool has a big mouth that only gets him into trouble, and he’ll pay the price for what he says. The words of a gossip merely reveal the wounds of his own soul, and his slander penetrates into the innermost being.” Proverbs 18:7-8 TPT....“Say goodbye to a troublemaker and you’ll say goodbye to quarrels, strife, tension, and arguments, for a troublemaker traffics in shame.” Proverbs 22:10 TPT....“It takes fuel to have a fire— a fire dies down when you run out of fuel. So, quarrels disappear when the gossip ends. Add fuel to the fire and the blaze goes on. So, add an argumentative man to the mix, and you’ll keep strife alive. Gossip is so delicious, and how we love to swallow it! For slander is easily absorbed into our innermost being.” Proverbs 26:20-22 TPT....Reflective Q’s:Q; Whats this pattern been like in your life? Is there changes that need to be made here? Q: Is there someone you've judged based only on what you've heard?Q; : Are your words building bridges or burning them? Q; Is there anyone you need to go to and reconcile with to break any dis-unity, division or distrust?
Aileen Fleming explore:“HIDDEN UNFORGIVENESS” ❤️🩹Sometimes the greatest barriers to our freedom aren’t the wounds others have caused us, but the unforgiveness we continue to carry in our own hearts.....Joyce Meyer writes:“Forgiveness isn’t excusing wrong behaviour; forgiveness is about refusing to let someone else’s sin continue to control your heart.”....In this episode we ask some challenging questions:What are the signs that hidden unforgiveness may still be influencing our hearts?When someone who has hurt us remains unrepentant, what does Jesus really mean by unlimited forgiveness?Does unlimited forgiveness require unlimited access to our lives?....Join us as we continue climbing the mountain of forgiveness together, inviting God to search our hearts, uncover what needs to be surrendered, and lead us into the freedom Christ purchased for us. 🔥🦋❤️....“God, I invite your searching gaze into my heart. Examine me through and through; find out everything that may be hidden within me. Put me to the test and sift through all my anxious cares. See if there is any path of pain I’m walking on, and lead me back to your glorious, everlasting way—the path that brings me back to you.”Psalm 139:23–24 (TPT)....'Love is patient and kind; it is not jealous or conceited or proud; love is not ill-mannered or selfish or irritable; love does not keep a record of wrongs; love is not happy with evil, but is happy with the truth. Love never gives up; and its faith, hope, and patience never fail.

Welcome to this week's podcast.We’re on part 4 of our series around 70 Times 7! This week's focus is; P.U.S.H: Pray Until Something Happens. 🙏🏻❤️....Sometimes the greatest growth doesn’t happen in our victories; it happens in how we respond to our difficulties.....What if the challenges we face aren’t just obstacles to overcome, but opportunities for God to purify our hearts and shape our character?....“Consider it a sheer gift, friends, when tests and challenges come at you from all sides. You know that under pressure, your faith-life is forced into the open and shows its true colors. So don’t try to get out of anything prematurely. Let it do its work so you become mature and well-developed, not deficient in any way.” (James 1:2-4 Mess)....'But I say to you, love [that is, unselfishly seek the best or higher good for] your enemies and PRAY FOR THOSE who persecute you, so that you may [show yourselves to] be the children of your Father who is in heaven; for He makes His sun rise on those who are evil and on those who are good, and makes the rain fall on the righteous [those who are morally upright] and the unrighteous [the unrepentant, those who oppose Him]. 'Matthew 5:44-45 AMP....'Never repay anyone evil for evil. Take thought for what is right and gracious and proper in the sight of everyone. Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave the way open for God’s wrath [and His judicial righteousness]; for it is written [in Scripture], “Vengeance is M ine , I will repay ,” says the Lord. “But if your enemy is hungry , feed him ; if he is thirsty , give him a drink ; for by doing this you will heap burning coals on his head .” Do not be overcome and conquered by evil, but overcome evil with good.'Romans 12:17,19-21 AMP....“But a person must [prayerfully] examine himself [and his relationship to Christ], and only when he has done so should he eat of the bread and drink of the cup. For anyone who eats and drinks [without solemn reverence and heartfelt gratitude for the sacrifice of Christ], eats and drinks a judgment on himself if he does not recognize the body [of Christ]. That [careless and unworthy participation] is the reason why many among you are weak and sick, and a number sleep [in death]. But if we evaluated and judged ourselves honestly [recognizing our shortcomings and correcting our behavior], we would not be judged.”1 Corinthians 11:28-31 AMP….Join us as we climb the mountain of forgiveness together with the goal of being cleansed, corrected, and new victorious and free life released within us🔥❤️🦋

'Matthew 6:12 AMP....'When evening came, Jesus was reclining at the table with the twelve disciples. And as they were eating, He said, “I assure you and most solemnly say to you that one of you will betray Me.” Being deeply grieved and extremely distressed, each one of them began to say to Him, “Surely not I, Lord?” Jesus answered, “He who has dipped his hand in the bowl with Me [as a pretense of friendship] will betray Me. The Son of Man is to go [to the cross], just as it is written [in Scripture] of Him; but woe (judgment is coming) to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would have been good for that man if he had never been born.” And Judas, the betrayer, said, “Surely it is not I, Rabbi?” Jesus said to him, “ You have said it yourself.” 'Matthew 26:20-25 AMP
Do you ever feel stuck in grudges after being mistreated by others? Do you struggle letting others go of the debt they owe you?....Forgiveness can feel like one of the hardest gifts to give, especially after being wronged by others repeatedly.....Join us this week as we share a God given revelation around: THE INTRODUCTION OF THE KING CHANGES EVERYTHING!! Be blessed as we climb the mountain of forgiveness together with the goal of being cleansed, corrected, and new victorious and free life released within us🔥❤️🦋....'The lessons of forgiveness in heaven’s kingdom realm can be illustrated like this: “There once was a king who had servants who had borrowed money from the royal treasury. He decided to settle accounts with each of them. As he began the process, it came to his attention that one of his servants owed him one billion dollars. So he summoned the servant before him and said to him, ‘Pay me what you owe me.’ When his servant was unable to repay his debt, the king ordered that he be sold as a slave along with his wife and children and every possession they owned as payment toward his debt. The servant threw himself facedown at his master’s feet and begged for mercy. ‘Please be patient with me. Just give me more time and I will repay you all that I owe.’ Upon hearing his pleas, the king had compassion on his servant, and released him, and forgave his entire debt. “No sooner had the servant left when he met one of his fellow servants, who owed him twenty thousand dollars He seized him by the throat and began to choke him, saying, ‘You’d better pay me right now everything you owe me!’ His fellow servant threw himself facedown at his feet and begged, ‘Please be patient with me. If you’ll just give me time, I will repay you all that is owed.’ But the one who had his debt forgiven stubbornly refused to forgive what was owed him. He had his fellow servant thrown into prison and demanded he remain there until he repaid the debt in full. “When his associates saw what was going on, they were outraged and went to the king and told him the whole story. The king said to him, ‘You scoundrel! Is this the way you respond to my mercy? Because you begged me, I forgave you the massive debt that you owed me. Why didn’t you show the same mercy to your fellow servant that I showed to you?’ In a fury of anger, the king turned him over to the prison guards to be tortured until all his debt was repaid. In this same way, my heavenly Father will deal with any of you if you do not release forgiveness from your heart toward your fellow believer.”'Matthew 18:23-35 TPT
index=109....'Then Peter came to Him and said, “Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Up to seven times?” Jesus said to him, “I do not say to you, up to seven times, but up to seventy times seven. 'Matthew 18:21-22 NKJ....'Offer to God thanksgiving, And pay your vows to the Most High. Call upon Me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you shall glorify Me.”'Psalms 50:14-15 NKJ ....'Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.'Romans 12:21 NKJ....'“You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt loses its flavor, how shall it be seasoned? It is then good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot by men.'Matthew 5:13 NKJ....Just for today I choose to reject bitterness, resentment, judging and gossiping about others and an unforgiving heart attitude.I choose to fight with forgiveness, love, patience and peace knowing they will protect my heart from being infected by the evil directed at me. All is well. It is good to be free ❤️🦋🙏🏻
I am His child, and have overcome the evil one, because GREATER IS HE WHO IS IN ME than he who is in the world.’As I renew my mind with His Word, I am being progressively TRANSFORMED BY His Spirit, into His very image, as I move from one brighter level of glory to another.I am learning to see myself through God’s eyes.I love confessing the truth over my life knowing that Heavens bliss fills my soul as I do. I will not build my life on lies, shame, my past failures, labels, or fear, but on what Jesus says is true.I persist in speaking the truth. I read, picture and feel it, until my heart and life come into alignment with the truth.ALL IS WELL. IT IS GOOD TO BE FREE!!! 🗡️🏴🔥❤️

overcome in the battlefield of our minds? 🙏🏻🔥....'For though we walk in the flesh [as mortal men], we are not carrying on our [spiritual] warfare according to the flesh and using the weapons of man. The weapons of our warfare are not physical [weapons of flesh and blood]. Our weapons are divinely powerful for the destruction of fortresses. We are destroying sophisticated arguments and every exalted and proud thing that sets itself up against the [true] knowledge of God, and we are taking every thought and purpose captive to the obedience of Christ, '2 Corinthians 10:3-5....'to keep Satan from taking advantage of us; for we are not ignorant of his schemes. '2 Corinthians 2:11....'always learning and listening to anybody who will teach them, but never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. '2 Timothy 3:7....'He said, “I heard the sound of You [walking] in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked; so I hid myself.” God said, “Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten [fruit] from the tree of which I commanded you not to eat?” 'Genesis 3:10-11....'In your patience possess ye your souls. 'Luke 21:19
🙏🏻✝️🤝....'Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will. 'Romans 12:2....'For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ. '2 Corinthians 10:3-5

As she wept, she bent over to look into the tomb and saw two angels in white, seated where Jesus’ body had been, one at the head and the other at the foot. They asked her, “Woman, why are you crying?” “They have taken my Lord away,” she said, “and I don’t know where they have put him.” At this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there, but she did not realize that it was Jesus. He asked her, “Woman, why are you crying? Who is it you are looking for?” Thinking he was the gardener, she said, “Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have put him, and I will get him.” Jesus said to her, “Mary.” She turned toward him and cried out in Aramaic, “Rabboni!” (which means “Teacher”). Jesus said, “Do not hold on to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father. Go instead to my brothers and tell them, ‘I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.’ ” Mary Magdalene went to the disciples with the news: “I have seen the Lord!” And she told them that he had said these things to her.

No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me. “I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing. 'John 15:4-5
....'“When an unclean spirit goes out of a man, he goes through dry places, seeking rest, and finds none. Then he says, ‘I will return to my house from which I came.’ And when he comes, he finds it empty, swept, and put in order. Then he goes and takes with him seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter and dwell there; and the last state of that man is worse than the first. So shall it also be with this wicked generation.”'Matthew 12:43-45 NKJ....'Summing it all up, friends, I’d say you’ll do best by filling your minds and meditating on things true, noble, reputable, authentic, compelling, gracious—the best, not the worst; the beautiful, not the ugly; things to praise, not things to curse. Put into practice what you learned from me, what you heard and saw and realized. Do that, and God, who makes everything work together, will work you into his most excellent harmonies. 'Philippians 4:8-9 Mess
🎯To renounce is to reject or abandon an attitude, bad habit or lifestyle. Last time we looked at repentance; turning from what no longer belongs.Listen in to this weeks message as we delve into how we do that. 🙏🏻🔥....'He who covers his sins will not prosper, But whoever confesses and forsakes them will have mercy.'Proverbs 28:13 NKJ 🙏🏻🔥....'That means you must not give sin a vote in the way you conduct your lives. Don’t give it the time of day. Don’t even run little errands that are connected with that old way of life. Throw yourselves wholeheartedly and full-time—remember, you’ve been raised from the dead!—into God’s way of doing things. Sin can’t tell you how to live. After all, you’re not living under that old tyranny any longer. You’re living in the freedom of God. So, since we’re out from under the old tyranny, does that mean we can live any old way we want? Since we’re free in the freedom of God, can we do anything that comes to mind? Hardly. You know well enough from your own experience that there are some acts of so-called freedom that destroy freedom. Offer yourselves to sin, for instance, and it’s your last free act. But offer yourselves to the ways of God and the freedom never quits. All your lives you’ve let sin tell you what to do. But thank God you’ve started listening to a new master, one whose commands set you free to live openly in his freedom! I’m using this freedom language because it’s easy to picture. You can readily recall, can’t you, how at one time the more you did just what you felt like doing—not caring about others, not caring about God—the worse your life became and the less freedom you had? And how much different is it now as you live in God’s freedom, your lives healed and expansive in holiness? As long as you did what you felt like doing, ignoring God, you didn’t have to bother with right thinking or right living, or right anything for that matter. But do you call that a free life? What did you get out of it? Nothing you’re proud of now. Where did it get you? A dead end. But now that you’ve found you don’t have to listen to sin tell you what to do, and have discovered the delight of listening to God telling you, what a surprise! A whole, healed, put-together life right now, with more and more of life on the way! Work hard for hsin your whole life and your pension is death. But God’s gift is real life , eternal life, delivered by Jesus, our Master.'Romans 6:12-23 Mess 🙏🏻🔥
(2 Chron 7:14)....'as it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet, saying: “The voice of one crying in the wilderness: ‘Prepare the way of the Lord ; Make His paths straight. Every valley shall be filled And every mountain and hill brought low; The crooked places shall be made straight And the rough ways smooth; And all flesh shall see the salvation of God.’ ” Then he said to the multitudes that came out to be baptized by him, “Brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the wrath to come? Therefore bear fruits worthy of repentance, and do not begin to say to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as our father.’ For I say to you that God is able to raise up children to Abraham from these stones. And even now the ax is laid to the root of the trees. Therefore every tree which does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.” So the people asked him, saying, “What shall we do then?” He answered and said to them, “He who has two tunics, let him give to him who has none; and he who has food, let him do likewise.” Then tax collectors also came to be baptized, and said to him, “Teacher, what shall we do?” And he said to them, “Collect no more than what is appointed for you.” Likewise the soldiers asked him, saying, “And what shall we do?” So he said to them, “Do not intimidate anyone or accuse falsely, and be content with your wages.”'(Luke 3:4-14)....'“And to the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write, ‘These things says the Amen, the Faithful and True Witness, the Beginning of the creation of God: “I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I could wish you were cold or hot. So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth. Because you say, ‘I am rich, have become wealthy, and have need of nothing’—and do not know that you are wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked— I counsel you to buy from Me gold refined in the fire, that you may be rich; and white garments, that you may be clothed, that the shame of your nakedness may not be revealed; and anoint your eyes with eye salve, that you may see. As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten. Therefore be zealous and repent. Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me. '(Revelation 3:14-20)
encouraged as you listen in. ....“When an unclean spirit goes out of a man, he goes through dry places, seeking rest, and finds none. Then he says, ‘I will return to my house from which I came.’ And when he comes, he finds it empty, swept, and put in order. Then he goes and takes with him seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter and dwell there; and the last state of that man is worse than the first. So shall it also be with this wicked generation.” - Matt 12:43-45....James 1:21 “So, get rid of all the filth and evil in your lives, and humbly accept the word God has planted in your hearts, for it has the power to save your souls.” NLT.... “So, get rid of all that is wrong in your life, both inside and outside, and humbly be glad for the wonderful message we have received, for it is able to save our souls as it takes hold of our hearts.” TLB .... “So, throw all spoiled virtue and cancerous evil in the garbage. In simple humility, let our gardener, God, landscape you with the Word, making a salvation-garden of your life.” MESS ....If you’re hungry for real change, not surface fixes, this is for you. 🔥🙏🏻👋🏻🦋❤️
how Light changes everything. Merry Christmas my friends. 🎄🎉🤝🏻👏🏻🙏🏻❤️….“The people walking in darkness have seen a great light; on those living in the land of deep darkness a light has dawned. For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Of the greatness of his government and peace there will be no end. He will reign on David’s throne and over his kingdom, establishing and upholding it with justice and righteousness from that time on and forever. The zeal of the Lord Almighty will accomplish this.”Isaiah 9:2, 6-7 NIV…..“In those days Caesar Augustus issued a decree that a census should be taken of the entire Roman world. And everyone went to their own town to register. So Joseph also went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to Bethlehem the town of David, because he belonged to the house and line of David. He went there to register with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him and was expecting a child. While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born, and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no guest room available for them. And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord. This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.” Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying, “Glory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests.””Luke 2:1, 3-14 NIV….“In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.”John 1:4-5 NIV
John 8:32....'And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force. 'Matthew 11:12 NKJ....' He did not weaken in faith when he considered the [utter] impotence of his own body, which was as good as dead because he was about a hundred years old, or [when he considered] the barrenness of Sarah's [deadened] womb. [Gen. 17:17; 18:11.] No unbelief or distrust made him waver (doubtingly question) concerning the promise of God, but he grew strong and was empowered by faith as he gave praise and glory to God, Fully satisfied and assured that God was able and mighty to keep His word and to do what He had promised.'Romans 4:19-21 AMP
Six months after Elizabeth had become pregnant, God sent the angel Gabriel to Nazareth, a city in Galilee. The angel went to a virgin promised in marriage to a descendant of David named Joseph. The virgin’s name was Mary.When the angel entered her home, he greeted her and said, “You are favored by the Lord! The Lord is with you.”She was startled by what the angel said and tried to figure out what this greeting meant.The angel told her,“Don’t be afraid, Mary. You have found favor [a] with God.You will become pregnant, give birth to a son,and name him Jesus.He will be a great manand will be called the Son of the Most High.The Lord God will give himthe throne of his ancestor David.Your son will be king of Jacob’s people forever,and his kingdom will never end.”Mary asked the angel, “How can this be? I’m a virgin.”The angel answered her, “The Holy Spirit will come to you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. Therefore, the holy child developing inside you will be called the Son of God. “Elizabeth, your relative, is six months pregnant with a son in her old age. People said she couldn’t have a child. But nothing is impossible for God.”Mary answered, “I am the Lord’s servant. Let everything you’ve said happen to me.”Then the angel left her.Luke 1:26-38....'And I pray that he would unveil within you the unlimited riches of his glory and favor until supernatural strength floods your innermost being with his divine might and explosive power. Then, by constantly using your faith, the life of Christ will be released deep inside you, and the resting place of his love will become the very source and root of your life.'Ephesians 3:16-17 T.P.T 🙏🏻🔥❤️

And [I pray] that the eyes of your heart [the very center and core of your being] may be enlightened [flooded with light by the Holy Spirit], so that you will know and cherish the hope [the divine guarantee, the confident expectation] to which He has called you, the riches of His glorious inheritance in the saints (God’s people), and [so that you will begin to know] what the immeasurable and unlimited and surpassing greatness of His [active, spiritual] power is in us who believe. These are in accordance with the working of His mighty strength which He produced in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His own right hand in the heavenly places, far above all rule and authority and power and dominion [whether angelic or human], and [far above] every name that is named [above every title that can be conferred], not only in this age and world but also in the one to come. 'Ephesians 1:17-21....'but just as it is written, “Things which the eye has not seen and the ear has not heard , And which have not entered the heart of man, All that God has prepared for those who love Him [who hold Him in affectionate reverence, who obey Him, and who gratefully recognize the benefits that He has bestowed].” [Is 64:4; 65:17] For God has unveiled them and revealed them to us through the [Holy] Spirit; for the Spirit searches all things [diligently], even [sounding and measuring] the [profound] depths of God [the divine counsels and things far beyond human understanding]. For what person knows the thoughts and motives of a man except the man’s spirit within him? So also no one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God. Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the [Holy] Spirit who is from God, so that we may know and understand the [wonderful] things freely given to us by God. We also speak of these things, not in words taught or supplied by human wisdom, but in those taught by the Spirit, combining and interpreting spiritual thoughts with spiritual words [for those being guided by the Holy Spirit].

When you’re joined with me and I with you, the relation intimate and organic, the harvest is sure to be abundant. SEPARATED, YOU CAN'T PRODUCE A THING." (John 15:5) MessHe seems to be saying that living a life of true fulfillment and success, OUR BEST LIFE, is impossible without a connection to the Source of life Himself. ....Join us as we embark on a new series to establish the facts and discover truths that set us free to Live Our Best lives in 2025. Here's part 1 delivered at House of Prayer church, Annbank, entitled; "WATCH & PRAY AN HOUR A DAY."...."Then Jesus came with them to a place called Gethsemane, and said to the disciples, “Sit here while I go and pray over there.” And He took with Him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and He began to be sorrowful and deeply distressed. Then He said to them, “My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death. Stay here and watch with Me.”He went a little farther and fell on His face, and prayed, saying, “O My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as You will.”Then He came to the disciples and found them sleeping, and said to Peter, “What! Could you not watch with Me one hour? Watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.” (Matt 26: 36-41)...."Then He said to them, “My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death. Stay here and watch.”He went a little farther, and fell on the ground, and prayed that if it were possible, the hour might pass from Him. And He said, “Abba, Father, all things are possible for You. Take this cup away from Me; nevertheless, not what I will, but what You will.”Then He came and found them sleeping, and said to Peter, “Simon, are you sleeping? Could you not watch one hour? Watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.” (Mark 14: 34-38)...."And He was withdrawn from them about a stone’s throw, and He knelt down and prayed, saying, “Father, if it is Your will, take this cup away from Me; nevertheless not My will, but Yours, be done.” Then an angel appeared to Him from heaven, strengthening Him. And being in agony, He prayed more earnestly. Then His sweat became like great drops of blood falling down to the ground.When He rose up from prayer, and had come to His disciples, He found them sleeping from sorrow. Then He said to them, “Why do you sleep? Rise and pray, lest you enter into temptation.” (Luke 22: 41-46)....The strong spirit of a man sustains him in bodily pain or trouble, but a weak and broken spirit who can raise up or bear? (Prov 18:14)

(Deut 33:27)...."Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.” (Psalm 91: 1-2)...."And the Lord said to Moses, “I will do the very thing you have asked, because I am pleased with you and I know you by name.”Then Moses said, “Now show me your glory.” ( Exodus 33:17-18)
What is Advent? Why is it important? Is there a difference between modern views and traditional views around it? What are the themes of the Advent season?....Join us over the next 4 weeks before Christmas as we delve into this and seek to establish the facts and be released to experience everything God has for us during this Christamas season. 🎄🔥❤️....Song: Silent Night (Be still my soul) Released: 2020Album: A Jolly Irish Christmas (Vol. 2) [Deluxe]Artist: Rend Collective....'Now the birth of Jesus Christ was as follows: After His mother Mary was betrothed to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Spirit. Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not wanting to make her a public example, was minded to put her away secretly. But while he thought about these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take to you Mary your wife, for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit. And she will bring forth a Son, and you shall call His name Jesus , for He will save His people from their sins.” So all this was done that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying: “Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and bear a Son, and they shall call His name Immanuel,” which is translated, “God with us.”' (Matthew 1:18-23)
Have you heard the saying that time is a healer? How's that worked out in your story? Experience has taught me that its what we do with our time that makes a difference! ...The effects of the traumatic things we've experienced don't disapprear over time. Unless we address them they just sink deep within us and continue to influence our lives and cause all sorts of behavioural, mental, & relational problems. So, what can we do to address our pain and get our freedom back?Join us as we begin a new series around the Freedom of Forgiveness. Our first session was spoken recently to a group of men in a rehabilitation centre around the topic of freeing ourselves from what others have done to us. A fitting place to start!! "You shall know the truth & the truth shall make you free." 🗡🏴🔥❤️....'Then, the same day at evening, being the first day of the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the midst, and said to them, “Peace be with you.” When He had said this, He showed them His hands and His side. Then the disciples were glad when they saw the Lord. So Jesus said to them again, “Peace to you! As the Father has sent Me, I also send you.” And when He had said this, He breathed on them, and said to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit. If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven them; if you retain the sins of any, they are retained.”' (John 20:19-23) NKJ....Book: Do Yourself a Favour Forgive by Joyce Meyer
It's been said that everyone's sense of self is shaped and influenced by the intimate relationships we've had in our lives, those healthy or unhealthy attachments that've shaped how we relate with oursleves and others.....Sounds like bad news for those of us who've had really dysfunctional or unhealthly attachments right? The question you might be asking then is; Does that need to define how we relate with oursleves and others the rest of our lives? .... Join us this week as we welcome our special guest, author, teacher and counsellor, John Eldredge, onto the podcast to delve into these things and shed light on these questions. "You shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free." John 8:32 🗡🏴🔥...."And I pray that he would unveil within you the unlimited riches of his glory and favor until supernatural strength floods your innermost being with his divine might and explosive power.Then, by constantly using your faith, the life of Christ will be released deep inside you, and the resting place of his love will become the very source and root of your life.Then you will be empowered to discover what every holy one experiences—the great magnitude of the astonishing love of Christ in all its dimensions. How deeply intimate and far-reaching is his love! How enduring and inclusive it is! Endless love beyond measurement that transcends our understanding—this extravagant love pours into you until you are filled to overflowing with the fullness of God!" Eph 3:16-19 TPT...."Do you think anyone is going to be able to drive a wedge between us and Christ’s love for us? There is no way! Not trouble, not hard times, not hatred, not hunger, not homelessness, not bullying threats, not backstabbing, not even the worst sins listed in Scripture:They kill us in cold blood because they hate you.We’re sitting ducks; they pick us off one by one.None of this fazes us because Jesus loves us. I’m absolutely convinced that nothing—nothing living or dead, angelic or demonic, today or tomorrow, high or low, thinkable or unthinkable—absolutely nothing can get between us and God’s love because of the way that Jesus our Master has embraced us." Rom 8:37-39

After the horror of last weeks stabbings in Southport we offer this message to acknowledge and validate the anger, bitterness and outrage many throughout the country feel and also to ask the question; how can we channel this anger and unrest into action that can effect change and hold our elected leaders to account? 🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️❤️
The song says; 'Will your anchor hold through the storms of life?'Its a good question to ask ourselves as we face storms in our lives, marriages, families, nation and world. Can we access an anchor that keeps our souls steadfast and sure in the midst of violent distrubences in the atmospheres of our lives and world? We're excited to welcome David English, who works with our partner charity Broken Chains, onto the podcast for the first time to share a vision God gave him a couple of weeks ago around this very topic. Give it a listen if you're free or want to be free 😃🗡🛡🏴🔥❤️...."This hope [this confident assurance] we have as an anchor of the soul [it cannot slip and it cannot break down under whatever pressure bears upon it]—a safe and steadfast hope that enters within the veil [of the heavenly temple, that most Holy Place in which the very presence of God dwells]." (Heb 6:19) AMP....Peter’s Confession of Christ"Now when Jesus went into the region of Caesarea Philippi, He asked His disciples, “Who do people say that the Son of Man is?” And they answered, “Some say John the Baptist; others, Elijah; and still others, Jeremiah, or [just] one of the prophets.” He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” Simon Peter replied, “You are the Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed), the Son of the living God.” Then Jesus answered him, “Blessed [happy, spiritually secure, favored by God] are you, Simon son of Jonah, because flesh and blood (mortal man) did not reveal this to you, but My Father who is in heaven. And I say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church; and the gates of Hell will not prevail against it." (Matt 16:13-18)....Song: Will your anchor holdArtist: Robin MarkReleased: 2005Album: Songs And Hymns
There's a mistaken believe that because God is love this means He's good with ways of living that aren't good for us! Jesus taught that God dwells and makes His permanent home with those who do what He modelled; "Carry out His Father's instructions." Join us for part 3 of our series as Vince Gartland and Derek delve into these truths. Praying they encourage and strengthen you as you listen in. 🗡🏴❤️🔥🙏🏻...."Jesus answered, If a person [really] loves Me, he will keep My word [obey My teaching]; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home (abode, special dwelling place) with him. Anyone who does not [really] love Me does not observe and obey My teaching. And the teaching which you hear and heed is not Mine, but [comes] from the Father Who sent Me.'(John 14:23-24) AMP...."This is how we can be sure that we love the children of God: by having a passionate love for God and by obedience to his commands. True love for God means obeying his commands, and his commands don’t weigh us down as heavy burdens."(1 John 5:2-3) TPT
Prov 15:15 says;"All the days of the desponding and afflicted are made evil [by anxious thoughts and forebodings], but he who has a glad heart has a continual feast [regardless of circumstances]." Do you recognise parts of you that are hopeless and burdened by the feeling that something bad is going to happen, dread or fearful apprehension? Do you feel there are parts of you that are beyond hope to change? Join us for part 2 of our series on Rooted & Grounded in Love as Martin King & Derek share around the transforming power of learning to embrace every part of oursleves, especially the burdened, painful parts!! Praying this deeply encourages and blesses you as you listen in. "You shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free!!!" 🗡🏴🔥❤️...."Someone says: “Build, build! Make a road!Clear the way, remove the rocksfrom the road my people will travel.” (Isaiah 57:14)....“Come to Me, all who are weary and heavily burdened [by religious rituals that provide no peace], and I will give you rest [refreshing your souls with salvation]. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me [following Me as My disciple], for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest (renewal, blessed quiet) for your souls. For My yoke is easy [to bear] and My burden is light.” (Matt 11:28-30) Amp
Paul prays that we'd be rooted and grounded in the love of God for our lives. The Passion translation captures this by saying. "that the resting place of His love becomes the very source and root of your life." Yes please, I'm for some of that! Join us for part 1 of this new series as we aim at encountering love and light in new ways that changes everything. 🗡🏴🔥❤️....'Then, by constantly using your faith, the life of Christ will be released deep inside you, and the resting place of his love will become the very source and root of your life.' (Ephesians 3:17) TPT...."And we all, with unveiled face, continually seeing as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are progressively being transformed into His image from [one degree of] glory to [even more] glory, which comes from the Lord, [who is] the Spirit." (2 Cor 3:18)....Fully embrace God’s correction as part of your training, for he is doing what any loving father does for his children. For who has ever heard of a child who never had to be corrected? We all should welcome God’s discipline as the validation of authentic sonship. For if we have never once endured his correction it only proves we are strangers and not sons.And isn’t it true that we respect our earthly fathers even though they corrected and disciplined us? Then we should demonstrate an even greater respect for God, our spiritual Father, as we submit to his life-giving discipline. Our parents corrected us for the short time of our childhood as it seemed good to them. But God corrects us throughout our lives for our own good, giving us an invitation to share his holiness." (Heb 12:7-10) TPT
A trigger is something that causes or sets in motion an emotional reaction in our lives, reactions that can lead to stuck feelings, unhelpful thoughts or acting out behviours. Every triggered part, however unpleasant, presents us an opportunity for growth.Gaining awareness and learning to better deal with our triggered parts is key to better navigating our lives. Are you aware of those things that trigger you?Listen in to this weeks message as Derek interviews his special guests, Fintan & Elaine Supple, therapists from Dublin and Wild at Heart allies, as they delve into this important topic. "You shall know the truth and the truth shall make you fee." 🗡🏴🇮🇪🔥❤️....'He who receives and welcomes and accepts you receives and accepts Me, and he who receives and accepts Me receives and accepts Him Who sent Me. He who receives a prophet because he is a prophet shall receive a prophet's reward, and he who receives a righteous man because he is a righteous man shall receive a righteous man's reward. And whoever gives to one of these little ones [in rank or influence] even a cup of cold water because he is My disciple, surely I declare to you, he shall not lose his reward.'(Matthew 10:40-42) Amp....Dear brothers & sisters, is your life full of difficulties and temptations? Then be happy, for when the way is rough, your patience has a chance to grow. So let it grow, and don’t try to squirm out of your problems. For when your patience is finally in full bloom, then you will be ready for anything, strong in character, full and complete.(James 1: 1-4) TLB

Do you ever feel stuck by your mental focus, bogged down by trouble and fear?....The bible tells us to 'NOT ALLOW OURSELVES TO BE TROUBLED OR AFRAID!' Is this even possible?....Join us for part 5 of our series Unstuck, as we delve into the truth that makes us free 🗡🏴🔥❤️...."Peace I leave with you; My [own] peace I now give andbequeath to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid. [Stop allowing yourselves to be agitated and disturbed; and do not permit yourselves to be fearful and intimidated and cowardly and unsettled.]" (John 14:27) AMP.... "In your patience possess ye your souls." (Luke 21:19) KJV
The Bible instructs us not to give the devil an opportunity to work in our lives. This can be an area where we can be most stuck, because we don't live as if evil is even real.C.S Lewis, an atheist before his change, wrote in his book Mere Christianity that; "One of the things that surprised me when I first read the New Testament seriously was that it talked so much about a Dark Power in the universe—a mighty evil spirit who was held to be the Power behind death and disease, and sin. The difference is that Christianity thinks this Dark Power was created by God, and was good when he was created, and went wrong. Christianity agrees with Dualism that this universe is at war. But it does not think this is a war between independent powers. It thinks it is a civil war, a rebellion, and that we are living in a part of the universe occupied by the rebel. Enemy-occupied territory—that is what this world is."We live in enemy occupied territory and are charged to resist the enemy of our souls and not give him a place in our lives to immobilise us and steal, kill and destroy in our spiritual and mental lives and relationships. Join us for part 4 of Unstuck as we unpack these important truths. 🗡🏴🔥❤️ “ you shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free.” ...."Be more afraid of Spirit-unrest, of soul-disturbance, of any ruffling of the Spirit, than of earthquake or fire or any outside forces.When you feel the absolute calm has been broken — away alone with Me until your heart sings, and all is strong and calm.These are the only times when evil can find an entrance. The forces of the evil surround the city of man-soul, and are keenly alert for one such unguarded spot, through which an arrow can pierce and do havoc." (God Calling; Feb 21st)....And do not give the devil an opportunity [to lead you into sin by holding a grudge, or nurturing anger, or harboring resentment, or cultivating bitterness]. (Eph 4:27) AMP.... "And when the devil had ended every [the complete cycle of] temptation, he [temporarily] left Him [that is, stood off from Him] until another more opportune andfavorable time." (Luke 4:13) AMP...."For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work." (James 3:16) KJV
How we interpret the situations of our lives can either empower us or sabotage and defeat us. ....Misinterpreting the tests, difficulties and challenges we face can also lead to us falling into the trap of turning away from and blaming God. ....Can we prevent this from happening and get a better perspective that makes it all turn around for our good? Praying this weeks message brings Light that leads to life and truth that makes free. 🗡🏴❤️🔥🔥🙌🏻...."[Therefore beware] brethren, take care, lest there be in any one of you a wicked, unbelieving heart [which refuses to cleave to, trust in, and rely on Him], leading you to turn away and desert or stand aloof from the living God.But instead warn (admonish, urge, and encourage) one another every day, as long as it is called Today, that none of you may be hardened [into settled rebellion] by the deceitfulness of sin [by the fraudulence, the stratagem, the trickery which the delusive glamour of his sin may play on him]." (Heb 3:12-13) AMP....'For with You is the fountain of life; in Your light do we see light. [John 4:10, 14.]' (Psalm 36:9) AMP
When we experience difficulties, relational conflict, disappointment and rejection, its inevitable to feel overwhelmed, uncertain and maybe even abandoned. The temptation is to allow these trials to make us quit, to become bogged down and throw away our faith and confidence in God. .... Do we have to allow the 'sifting' to crush us and incapacitate our hearts? Is there a way to stay unstuck and press through to find God's perspective? Listen in to this weeks message to find out truth that makes us free in this area 🗡🏴❤️🔥🙏🏻....“Simon, Simon (Peter), listen! Satan has demanded permission to sift [all of] you like grain; but I have prayed [especially] for you [Peter], that your faith [and confidence in Me] may not fail; and you, once you have turned back again [to Me], strengthen and support your brothers [in the faith].” (Luke 22:31-32) Amp...."Be angry [at sin—at immorality, at injustice, at ungodly behavior], yet do not sin; do not let your anger [cause you shame, nor allow it to] last until the sun goes down. And do not give the devil an opportunity [to lead you into sin by holding a grudge, or nurturing anger, or harboring resentment, or cultivating bitterness]." (Eph 4:26-27) AMP
How important is it to resolve our personal conflicts quickly?Do you ever feel stuck and trapped in hurt, resentment, self reproach after experiencing a difficulty or failure?Join us as we start a series to establish the facts around our personal responsibility to keep ourselves ‘UNSTUCK.’ "You shall KNOW the truth and the truth shall set you free." 🗡🏴❤️🔥🙏🏻...."Be angry [at sin—at immorality, at injustice, at ungodly behavior], yet do not sin; do not let your anger [cause you shame, nor allow it to] last until the sun goes down. And do not give the devil an opportunity [to lead you into sin by holding a grudge, or nurturing anger, or harboring resentment, or cultivating bitterness]." (Eph 4:26-27) AMP ...."Pursue peace with all people, and holiness, without which no one will see the Lord: looking carefully lest anyone fall short of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up cause trouble, and by this many become defiled." (Heb 12:14-15) NKJ
Recorded at the Broken Chains hour of Power after our Resilient retreat, the importance of sitting at His feet and feeding on His words 🗡🏴🔥❤️...."But He replied, It has been written, Man shall not live and be upheld and sustained by bread alone, but by every word that comes forth from the mouth of God." Deut. 8:3. AMPC...."Jesus answered by quoting Deuteronomy: “It takes more than bread to stay alive. It takes a steady stream of words from God’s mouth.” Message....Martha and Mary"Now while they were on their way, Jesus entered a village [called Bethany], and a woman named Martha welcomed Him into her home. She had a sister named Mary, who seated herself at the Lord’s feet and was continually listening to His teaching. But Martha was very busy and distracted with all of her serving responsibilities; and she approached Him and said, “Lord, is it of no concern to You that my sister has left me to do the serving alone? Tell her to help me and do her part.” But the Lord replied to her, “Martha, Martha, you are worried and bothered and anxious about so many things; but only one thing is necessary, for Mary has chosen the good part [that which is to her advantage], which will not be taken away from her.” (Luke 10:38-42) Amp

And when Herod was about to bring him out, that night Peter was sleeping, bound with two chains between two soldiers; and the guards before the door were keeping the prison. Now behold, an angel of the Lord stood by him, and a light shone in the prison; and he struck Peter on the side and raised him up, saying, “Arise quickly!” And his chains fell off his hands. Then the angel said to him, “Gird yourself and tie on your sandals”; and so he did. And he said to him, “Put on your garment and follow me.” So he went out and followed him, and did not know that what was done by the angel was real, but thought he was seeing a vision. When they were past the first and the second guard posts, they came to the iron gate that leads to the city, which opened to them of its own accord; and they went out and went down one street, and immediately the angel departed from him." (Acts 12: 5-10) ....“Thus says the Lord to His anointed,To Cyrus, whose right hand I have held—To subdue nations before himAnd loose the armor of kings,To open before him the double doors,So that the gates will not be shut:‘I will go before youAnd make the crooked places straight;I will break in pieces the gates of bronzeAnd cut the bars of iron." (Isaiah 45:1-2)
"And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn." ( Luke 2:7)....We prepare our homes to celebrate Christmas, should we not prepare our hearts also? ...."Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make straight paths for Him," was the message for His arrival, the first Advent.The message is still the same; Clear the way, clear out the clutter, clear out the attitudes you no longer need or want to wear, clear out the resentment, the grudges, the hardness and the sin and make room for the King of Glory to come in. ...."Wake up, you sleepyhead city!Wake up, you sleepyhead people!The King - Glory is ready to enter." (Psalm 24:7) Message....Have you got any room for Him in your heart? 🗡🏴🔥🎄❤️
Join us for part 1 of God's Covenant of Blessing. Pastor Jim Gibson shares out of his wealth of experience after decades of discovering and applying the principles of Gods Kingdom supply. Be blessed as you listen in 🔥🗡🏴😍….“Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.”(Matt 6:31-33)....People who don’t know God and the way he works fuss over these things, but you know both God and how he works. Steep your life in God-reality, God-initiative, God-provisions. Don’t worry about missing out. You’ll find all your everyday human concerns will be met.” (Matt 6:31-33) MESS

Do you think its important to find out the laws and principles that govern the Supply and Provision of God’s Kingdom so we can live more consistently by them? Is there another way to live when it comes to how we manage and invest our lives, money and resources?....We set out to introduce and discuss these truths at our recent event; Seek Ye First, and we're releasing the recordings over the coming weeks. Praying they deeply encourage and enlighten you with truths that make free. 🗡🏴🔥❤️....“Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.”(Matt 6:31-33)....People who don’t know God and the way he works fuss over these things, but you know both God and how he works. Steep your life in God-reality, God-initiative, God-provisions. Don’t worry about missing out. You’ll find all your everyday human concerns will be met.” (Matt 6:31-33) MESS....“A greedy and grasping person destroys community; those who refuse to exploit live and let live.” (Prov15:27) MSG
Andrew Murray states in his book on Humility that "Evil can have no beginning but from pride, and no end but from humility. The truth is this: Pride must die in you, or nothing of heaven can live in you."Join us this week as we seek to clarify what humility looks like in our daily life and in how we resolve conflicts with others. 🗡🏴🔥❤️...."Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God, but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men. And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross. Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name." (Phil 2:5-9) ...."For to this you were called, because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that you should follow His steps:“Who committed no sin,Nor was deceit found in His mouth”;who, when He was reviled, did not revile in return; when He suffered, He did not threaten, but committed Himself to Him who judges righteously." ( 1 Peter 2:21-23)
Rest for our souls is conditional according to Jesus. We first have to take His 'yoke upon us' and imitate His attitudes towards God and others. Join us this week as we unpack the meaning and power behind being meek and lowly in heart. "You shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free." 🗡🏴🔥🙏🏻...."Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls." (Matt 11:29)...."Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth." (Matt 5:5)...."But He gives more grace. Therefore He says:“God resists the proud,But gives grace to the humble.” (James 4:6)
Knowing when to stop in our personal lives, knowing when to stop in our ministries and allowing space for transitions in the midst of our busy and demanding schedules are disciplines that must be cultivated and fought for if we want to continue to experience the rest for our souls that Jesus promises. We're excited to have author, counsellor and teacher, John Eldredge, join us on this weeks podcast to discuss these things and offer insight from his decades of experience and learning....."You shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free." (John 8:32) 🗡🏴🔥❤️...."Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me. “I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing." (John 15:4-5)
We’re all at our worst when we’re in a hurry! Rushing feverishly from one duty to the next, impatient and temperamental, never taking the time to rest and pause in between. Does that sound familiar? Morgan Snyder highlights another side effect of our pace of life; “Busyness is the enemy of intimacy! Intimacy with God, intimacy with ourselves and others.” There’s a lot at stake here! Join us this week as Derek and Vince explore this subject and encourage us to Slow Down For Heaven’s Sake!!! 🗡🏴🔥❤️...."“Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.” (Psalm 46:10)Be still": This phrase urges us to stop our striving, to cease our efforts, and to rest in God's presence...."Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you’ll recover your life. I’ll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me—watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won’t lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you’ll learn to live freely and lightly.” (Matt 11:28-30) MESS
There are some things we get from God that don't come from our own efforts. We receive them by Grace, through Faith.
The children of Israel didn't enter into rest because of their unbelief. They didn't trust God to do what He said He would do.
We can believe that we are unworthy and don't deserve what God promises and fail to experience rest and peace, forgiveness and healing because of our beliefs.
Join us for this week's message, Learning the Unforced Rhythms of Grace, as we unpack this beautiful offer and offer truth that makes free. 🔥🗡🏴
....
"Now the promise of entering into God’s rest is still for us today. So we must be extremely careful to ensure that we all embrace the fullness of that promise and not fail to experience it. So we conclude that there is still a full and complete Sabbath-rest waiting for believers to experience. As we enter into God’s faith-rest life we cease from our own works, just as God celebrates his finished works and rests in them. So then we must be eager to experience this faith-rest life, so that no one falls short by following the same pattern of doubt and unbelief." (Heb 4:1, 9-11) TPT

Jesus invites us to come to Him, to take His 'yoke' upon us and we'll find rest for our souls!!! He invites us into a lighter and easier way to live. Does this not sound absolutely amazing and utterly necessary? Join us in this weeks podcast as we delve into these truths, that when understood and applied, have the power to lighten and liberate our hearts from the heavy loads we carry through life. 🗡🏴🔥🔥❤️ ...."Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him, “If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed. And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”They answered Him, “We are Abraham’s descendants, and have never been in bondage to anyone. How can You say, ‘You will be made free’?”Jesus answered them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, whoever commits sin is a slave of sin. And a slave does not abide in the house forever, but a son abides forever. Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed." (John 8:31-36)...."Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy-laden and overburdened, and I will cause you to rest. [I will ease and relieve and refresh your souls.] Take My yoke upon you and learn of Me, for I am gentle (meek) and humble (lowly) in heart, and you will find rest (relief and ease and refreshment and recreation and blessed quiet) for your souls. For My yoke is wholesome (useful, good–not harsh, hard, sharp, or pressing, but comfortable, gracious, and pleasant), and My burden is light and easy to be borne." (Matthew 11:28-30)
We’re all touched at some level with relational conflict. We live in a world at war. Nations are at war, families at war, siblings at war.
In the adverse circumstances we face, it’s our responsibility to maintain our own heart-rest and peace.
Join us this week as Pastor Vince Gartland and Derek share around these truths to help us enter into the Heart Rest that Jesus offers us. "You shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free." 🙏🏻🔥❤️
....
“Let us therefore make every effort to enter that rest [of God, to know and experience it for ourselves], so that no one will fall by following the same example of disobedience [as those who died in the wilderness].” Hebrews 4:11 AMP https://bible.com/bible/1588/heb.4.11.AMP
Do you regularly experience spiritual and mental rest? Is this even possible? How do we get some??

The Promise of Rest
"Therefore, since a promise remains of entering His rest, let us fear lest any of you seem to have come short of it." (Heb 4:1) NKJV

Lady Wisdom
20-21 Lady Wisdom goes out in the street and shouts. At the town center she makes her speech. In the middle of the traffic she takes her stand. At the busiest corner she calls out:
22-24 “Simpletons! How long will you wallow in ignorance? Cynics! How long will you feed your cynicism? Idiots! How long will you refuse to learn? About face! I can revise your life. Look, I’m ready to pour out my spirit on you; I’m ready to tell you all I know. As it is, I’ve called, but you’ve turned a deaf ear; I’ve reached out to you, but you’ve ignored me.
25-28 “Since you laugh at my counsel and make a joke of my advice, How can I take you seriously? I’ll turn the tables and joke about your troubles! What if the roof falls in, and your whole life goes to pieces? What if catastrophe strikes and there’s nothing to show for your life but rubble and ashes? You’ll need me then. You’ll call for me, but don’t expect an answer. No matter how hard you look, you won’t find me.
29-33 “Because you hated Knowledge and had nothing to do with the Fear-of-God, Because you wouldn’t take my advice and brushed aside all my offers to train you, Well, you’ve made your bed—now lie in it; you wanted your own way—now, how do you like it? Don’t you see what happens, you simpletons, you idiots? Carelessness kills; complacency is murder. First pay attention to me, and then relax. Now you can take it easy—you’re in good hands.” (Prov 1:20-33)
Have you ever noticed that we don’t get tempted and harassed where we’re strong? It’s where we’re weak! What does that communicate? Maybe, that someone has intel on us and is intent to cause us harm?
....
We share around this in our last message on Fighting to Win. "You shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free!" 🗡🏴🔥❤️

“Confess to one another therefore your faults (your slips, your false steps, your offenses, your sins) and pray [also] for one another, that you may be healed and restored [to a spiritual tone of mind and heart]. The earnest (heartfelt, continued) prayer of a righteous man makes tremendous power available [dynamic in its working].” James 5:16 AMPC
….
“Isn’t it obvious that all runners on the racetrack keep on running to win, but only one receives the victor’s prize? Yet each one of you must run the race to be victorious. A true athlete will be disciplined in every respect, practicing constant self-control in order to win a laurel wreath that quickly withers. But we run our race to win a victor’s crown that will last forever. For that reason, I don’t run just for exercise or box like one throwing aimless punches, but I train like a champion athlete. I subdue my body and get it under my control, so that after preaching the good news to others I myself won’t be disqualified.” 1 Corinthians 9:24-27 TPT
How can we expect to take ground and fight and win in the battle for our hearts and minds if we don't even believe we have an adversary and are in a battle?

"This is not a wrestling match against a human opponent. We are wrestling with rulers, authorities, the powers who govern this world of darkness, and spiritual forces that control evil in the heavenly world." (Eph 6:12) GOD'S WORD® Translation
....
"When you abide under the shadow of Shaddai, you are hidden in the strength of God Most High. He’s the hope that holds me and the stronghold to shelter me, the only God for me, and my great confidence. He will rescue you from every hidden trap of the enemy, and he will protect you from false accusation and any deadly curse. His massive arms are wrapped around you, protecting you. You can run under his covering of majesty and hide. His arms of faithfulness are a shield keeping you from harm. You will never worry about an attack of demonic forces at night nor have to fear a spirit of darkness coming against you. Don’t fear a thing! Whether by night or by day, demonic danger will not trouble you, nor will the powers of evil be launched against you. Even in a time of disaster, with thousands and thousands being killed, you will remain unscathed and unharmed. You will be a spectator as the wicked perish in judgment, for they will be paid back for what they have done! When we live our lives within the shadow of God Most High, our secret hiding place, we will always be shielded from harm. How then could evil prevail against us or disease infect us? God sends angels with special orders to protect you wherever you go, defending you from all harm. If you walk into a trap, they’ll be there for you and keep you from stumbling. You’ll even walk unharmed among the fiercest powers of darkness, trampling every one of them beneath your feet! For here is what the Lord has spoken to me: “Because you loved me, delighted in me, and have been loyal to my name, I will greatly protect you. I will answer your cry for help every time you pray, and you will feel my presence in your time of trouble. I will deliver you and bring you honor. I will satisfy you with a full life and with all that I do for you. For you will enjoy the fullness of my salvation!” (Psalm 91)TPT
It's hard for us to win the battle for our hearts and minds when we're haunted by the regrets of our past.
....
Jesus invites us to come to Him for rest, rest for our souls, rest from the burdens we carry from our past choices and failures. Rest from our regrets. What an offer!! What a promise!!

“yet I am glad now, not because you were hurt and made sorry, but because your sorrow led to repentance [and you turned back to God]; for you felt a grief such as God meant you to feel, so that you might not suffer loss in anything on our account. For [godly] sorrow that is in accord with the will of God produces a repentance without regret, leading to salvation; but worldly sorrow [the hopeless sorrow of those who do not believe] produces death.” 2 Corinthians 7:9-10 AMP
....
“Now I’m glad—not that you were upset, but that you were jarred into turning things around. You let the distress bring you to God, not drive you from him. The result was all gain, no loss. Distress that drives us to God does that. It turns us around. It gets us back in the way of salvation. We never regret that kind of pain. But those who let distress drive them away from God are full of regrets, end up on a deathbed of regrets.” 2 Corinthians 7:8-10 MSG

“Come to Me, all who are weary and heavily burdened, and I will give you rest.

Walk with me and work with me—watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won’t lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you’ll learn to live freely and lightly.”
““Are you weary, carrying a heavy burden? Come to me. I will refresh your life, for I am your oasis. Simply join your life with mine. Learn my ways and you’ll discover that I’m gentle, humble, easy to please. You will find refreshment and rest in me.” Matthew 11:28-29 TPT

“Do you think anyone is going to be able to drive a wedge between us and Christ’s love for us? There is no way! Not trouble, not hard times, not hatred, not hunger, not homelessness, not bullying threats, not backstabbing, not even the worst sins listed in Scripture:
They kill us in cold blood because they hate you. We’re sitting ducks; they pick us off one by one.

Stay alert; be in prayer so you don’t wander into temptation without even knowing you’re in danger. There is a part of you that is eager, ready for anything in God. But there’s another part that’s as lazy as an old dog sleeping by the fire.”” Matthew 26:40-41 MSG

Trying to overcome spiritual problems without spiritual revelation is futile. ....Join Derek and Martin King this week as they discuss the importance of asking for EYES THAT SEE so that we can direct our efforts to successfully overcome in the battle for our hearts and minds. "You shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free." (John 8:32) 🗡🏴🔥❤️....This is why the Scriptures say:Things never discovered or heard of before,things beyond our ability to imagine —these are the many things God has in storefor all his lovers. But God now unveils these profound realities to us by the Spirit. Yes, he has revealed to us his inmost heart and deepest mysteries through the Holy Spirit, who constantly explores all things. After all, who can really see into a person’s heart and know his hidden impulses except for that person’s spirit? So it is with God. His thoughts and secrets are only fully understood by his Spirit, the Spirit of God. For we did not receive the spirit of this world system but the Spirit of God, so that we might come to understand and experience all that grace has lavished upon us. And we articulate these realities with the words imparted to us by the Spirit and not with the words taught by human wisdom. We join together Spirit-revealed truths with Spirit-revealed words. Someone living on an entirely human level rejects the revelations of God’s Spirit, for they make no sense to him. He can’t understand the revelations of the Spirit because they are only discovered by the illumination of the Spirit. (1 Cor 2:9:14) TPT...."[I always pray] that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may grant you a spirit of wisdom and of revelation [that gives you a deep and personal and intimate insight] into the true knowledge of Him [for we know the Father through the Son]. And [I pray] that the eyes of your heart [the very center and core of your being] may be enlightened [flooded with light by the Holy Spirit], so that you will know and cherish the hope [the divine guarantee, the confident expectation] to which He has called you, the riches of His glorious inheritance in the saints (God’s people), and [so that you will begin to know] what the immeasurable and unlimited and surpassing greatness of His [active, spiritual] power is in us who believe."

In part 2 of the Fighting to Win series Martin King joins Derek to discuss how we can begin to move out of the sinking sand of fighting a losing battle by receiving context about the battle we're facing. They share personal experiences around this which have led to a shift in perspective that’s made all the difference in terms of their confidence to fight and win in the battles they’ve faced. ....No Neutral GroundNext a poor demon-afflicted wretch, both blind and deaf, was set down before him. Jesus healed him, gave him his sight and hearing. The people who saw it were impressed—“This has to be the Son of David!” But the Pharisees, when they heard the report, were cynical. “Black magic,” they said. “Some devil trick he’s pulled from his sleeve.”Jesus confronted their slander. “A judge who gives opposite verdicts on the same person cancels himself out; a family that’s in a constant squabble disintegrates; if Satan banishes Satan, is there any Satan left? If you’re slinging devil mud at me, calling me a devil kicking out devils, doesn’t the same mud stick to your own exorcists?“But if it’s by God’s power that I am sending the evil spirits packing, then God’s kingdom is here for sure. How in the world do you think it’s possible in broad daylight to enter the house of an awake, able-bodied man and walk off with his possessions unless you tie him up first? Tie him up, though, and you can clean him out.“THIS IS WAR, and THERE IS NO NEUTRAL GROUND. If you’re not on my side, you’re the enemy; if you’re not helping, you’re making things worse.” (Matthew 12:22-30) Message Bible 🗡🏴🔥❤️

It’s just a fact that we need outside help, and as it is in the natural so it is in the spiritual and mental. Praying this deeply encourages and inspires you 🗡🏴❤️.....

Join Derek and Paul Algeo from 'North Ayr the Gither' as they wrap up the Pruned for Better Fruit series by discussing the need for us to attack the weaknesses we see in ourselves....not punish ourselves because of them, complain about them, make excuses about them or blame others for them. We can be set free and totally transformed as we take responsibility for our spiritual, mental and physical health. 🗡🏴🔥❤️......“Why would you focus on the flaw in someone else’s life and fail to notice the glaring flaws of your own? How could you say to your friend, ‘Let me show you where you’re wrong,’ when you’re guilty of even more? You’re being hypercritical and a hypocrite! First acknowledge and deal with your own ‘blind spots,’ and then you’ll be capable of dealing with the ‘blind spot’ of your friend.”Matthew 7:3-5 TPT…….“And from the days of John the Baptist until the present time, the kingdom of heaven has endured violent assault, and violent men seize it by force [as a precious prize–a share in the heavenly kingdom is sought with most ardent zeal and intense exertion].”Matthew 11:12 AMPC……“But prove yourselves doers of the word [actively and continually obeying God’s precepts], and not merely listeners [who hear the word but fail to internalize its meaning], deluding yourselves [by unsound reasoning contrary to the truth]. For if anyone only listens to the word without obeying it, he is like a man who looks very carefully at his natural face in a mirror; for once he has looked at himself and gone away, he immediately forgets what he looked like. But he who looks carefully into the perfect law, the law of liberty, and faithfully abides by it, not having become a [careless] listener who forgets but an active doer [who obeys], he will be blessed and favored by God in what he does [in his life of obedience].”James 1:22-25 AMP
Pruned for Better Fruit: ONGOING INVENTORY You can’t be spiritually, mentally and physically well with a heart full of things like fear, hate, hurt and judgment.We can heal and come fully alive by stepping out of denial, by facing & detecting our condition and then correcting our attitudes and behaviours. Listen in to this special Easter recording as Martin King & Debbie O’Brian join Derek to share their experiences around one of the most courageous journeys anyone of us can embark on. 🗡🏴❤️“So then, my dear ones, just as you have always obeyed [my instructions with enthusiasm], not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence, continue to work out your salvation [that is, cultivate it, bring it to full effect, actively pursue spiritual maturity] with awe-inspired fear and trembling [using serious caution and critical self-evaluation to avoid anything that might offend God or discredit the name of Christ]. For it is [not your strength, but it is] God who is effectively at work in you, both to will and to work [that is, strengthening, energizing, and creating in you the longing and the ability to fulfill your purpose] for His good pleasure.”Philippians 2:12-13 AMP“But a person must [prayerfully] examine himself [and his relationship to Christ], and only when he has done so should he eat of the bread and drink of the cup. For anyone who eats and drinks [without solemn reverence and heartfelt gratitude for the sacrifice of Christ], eats and drinks a judgment on himself if he does not recognize the body [of Christ]. That [careless and unworthy participation] is the reason why many among you are weak and sick, and a number sleep [in death]. But if we evaluated and judged ourselves honestly [recognizing our shortcomings and correcting our behavior], we would not be judged.”1 Corinthians 11:28-31 AMP
Pruned for Better Fruit: AGAINST THE TIDE “He who swims against the stream comes to the Source.” - Herr MullerDo you find yourself just going with the flow, seeking out the paths of least resistance, less struggle, less stress, more self gratification, led by your short term pleasure and happiness? When God corrects us and shows us the way, it “IS AGAINST THE TIDE WE MUST DIRECT ALL OUR EFFORT.”Listen in to this weeks message as we establish the facts around this truth that plays an important part in our growth journey. 🗡🏴❤️““Don’t look for shortcuts to God. The market is flooded with surefire, easygoing formulas for a successful life that can be practiced in your spare time. Don’t fall for that stuff, even though crowds of people do. The way to life—to God!—is vigorous and requires total attention.”Matthew 7:13-14 MSG“Watch out for the Esau syndrome: trading away God’s lifelong gift in order to satisfy a short-term appetite. You well know how Esau later regretted that impulsive act and wanted God’s blessing—but by then it was too late, tears or no tears.”Hebrews 12:17 MSGSong: The Road Less Traveled Artist: George Strait
Pruned for Better Fruit: WE ARE NEVER THEREPride and complacency says; “I’ve arrived, look at how good I’m doing compared to others, look at what I know and teach.”Humility says, “I’ve not arrived. I appreciate the fruits I’m producing, I appreciate the changes in my life and the good things God is doing through me but I’m a work in progress, I refuse to rest on yesterdays success.” Listen in to this weeks teaching as we explore these things and establish the truth that makes us free to keep growing and reaching and pressing forwards 🗡🏴🔥“Then the Lord God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to tend and keep it.”Genesis 2:15 NKJV“Not that I have already attained, or am already perfected; but I press on, that I may lay hold of that for which Christ Jesus has also laid hold of me.

Pruned for Better Fruit: RECEIVING CORRECTION Pruning isn’t punishment!Correction isn’t condemnation!If we refuse to receive correction we disqualified ourselves from producing better results, more and better fruit. Join Pastor Vince Gartland and Derek as they discuss this part of the pruning process in this weeks podcast. 🗡🏴❤️“And have you forgotten his encouraging words spoken to you as his children? He said, “My child, don’t underestimate the value of the discipline and training of the Lord God, or get depressed when he has to correct you. For the Lord’s training of your life is the evidence of his faithful love. And when he draws you to himself, it proves you are his delightful child.” Fully embrace God’s correction as part of your training, for he is doing what any loving father does for his children. For who has ever heard of a child who never had to be corrected? We all should welcome God’s discipline as the validation of authentic sonship. For if we have never once endured his correction it only proves we are strangers and not sons. And isn’t it true that we respect our earthly fathers even though they corrected and disciplined us? Then we should demonstrate an even greater respect for God, our spiritual Father, as we submit to his life-giving discipline. Our parents corrected us for the short time of our childhood as it seemed good to them. But God corrects us throughout our lives for our own good, giving us an invitation to share his holiness. Now all discipline seems to be painful at the time, yet later it will produce a transformation of character, bringing a harvest of righteousness and peace to those who yield to it. So be made strong even in your weakness by lifting up your tired hands in prayer and worship. And strengthen your weak knees, for as you keep walking forward on God’s paths all your stumbling ways will be divinely healed!”Hebrews 12:5-13 TPT

“Happy [blessed, considered fortunate, to be admired] is the man who finds [skillful and godly] wisdom, And the man who gains understanding and insight [learning from God’s word and life’s experiences], For wisdom’s profit is better than the profit of silver, And her gain is better than fine gold. She is more precious than rubies; And nothing you can wish for compares with her [in value].” (Proverbs 3:13-15) AMP 🔥❤️
Here’s part 3 of our series on Captivated by Communion.
Absorb Beauty!
What we behold we become,
What we absorb we reflect,
What we put our attention on grows!!
If we want to experience God’s good, acceptable or perfect will in our lives renewing our minds and absorbing His life, truths and beauty has got to be a top priority, something, like David, that we insist upon.
"Then Jesus turned to the Jews who had claimed to believe in him. “If you stick with this, living out what I tell you, you are my disciples for sure. Then you will experience for yourselves the truth, and the truth will free you.” (John 8:32) Message Bible 🗡🏴🔥❤️

Join us this week as Derek shares his story around discovering the first part of what David described in Psalm 27:4, ....."to dwell in God's Presence." Listen in and be encouraged and convinced of how advantageous being captivated by communion can be for your life.
"And I will walk at liberty and at ease, for I have sought and inquired for [and desperately required] Your precepts." (Psalm 119:45) 🗡🏴🔥❤️
To captivate means to attract and hold the interest and attention of, it’s to fascinate, enthral or delight in.
There’s so much in the day and hour we live in competing for our interest and attention, not to mention the enemy of our soul’s aim to steal, kill and destroy the life given to us from God.
What are you captivated by? What is your attention and interest mostly focused on?
Join us as we embark on this new series as we delve into the liberty of being ‘CAPTIVATED by COMMUNION.’

'OUR EMANCIPATION PROCLAMATION.'
In 1863 Abraham Lincoln proclaimed that the black slaves of the confederate south would be free when they entered the unionist North states. When they entered they were authorized to claim their freedom as of right, backed by the US government.

TRANSFORMED; By Breaking Generational Patterns Of Thinking And Behaving. Our behaviour is caused by our beliefs, and as we grew up we all internalized thoughts, beliefs and judgments from our parents, teachers and peers, some helpful some not so helpful.

TRANSFORMED; This week I interview Isaac 'Geordie' Larmour. Geordie grew up with a learning disorder that left him believing that he was a reject, stupid and worthless. He placed all his hopes on becoming a pro-boxer, but these were shattered due to an eye condition that prevented him from pursuing his dream. Disappointed and discouraged, he turned to drugs and alcohol, which hardened and deaden his heart resulting in a violent, reckless lifestyle. Going nowhere, full of guilt and shame about what he'd done and who he'd become, he cried out to God. What happened next was totally miraculous!
TRANSFORMED; This week I interview Mark Cambridge; Another walking miracle!

THE PROCESS OF TRANSFORMATION: This week's focus is around the process of allowing God into all the rooms of our heart and life, with the aim of allowing His Light to cleanse, heal, restore and transform us to reflect Him more and more. A painful process, but ultimately one that takes us from Glory to Glory.
