Called by The Father

Hi all,

Here we are, on the road again. We had a wonderful day at a home church ministering to the precious "hungry" people who love the Lord Jesus with a zeal and passion that is a joy to see.
We watched The Lord restore a young man who had a severe back problem, he had been in hospital till 2.30am in severe pain. His wife drove him to the meeting, where The Lord restored him. He was leaping up and down, praising God... only someone who has experienced this knows the full impact. If the smile on his face was anything to go by, and the gratefulness he was expressing to God, then it was worth the visit just for that one person.

The Lord also touched many people in the group, one man had his lungs "expanded" and he could breathe again, so he too was very very happy! One lady had a major touch from The Lord in the area of trauma and shock, she was delivered from those things... How good it is to see freedom in people's lives! Many others were touched too... The Lord is very gracious to us! Thank you Jesus!

The Lord seemed to be honing in on the spirit of unbelief, which He was breaking off, after all how can we believe for miracles if there is any unbelief in us?

The Word was about being "called by the Father," for His purpose for this time, to reach out and touch lives for Jesus, pre-destined, pre-ordained before the start of time, to bring revival to this land.

It is also important to know that The Father has called us, and that we need to be doing the will of the Father so that we may enter the Kingdom of God.

What does God require of us?

To Love the Lord with all our hearts, And to love our neighbours as we love ourselves

Husbands, love your wife as Christ Loves the Church, and wives, respect your husband.

Children (and us too, honour our parents… first commandment with promise.)

God also requires us to be accountable, to become like Him in Character, deed, thought and action….. We will never be God, but He wants us to go on a journey to be able to walk in the Fruit of the Spirit….which reflects the nature and character of God.

The Lord wants us to Walk Worthy of our calling….(Ephesians 4;1-6)

The Father is in us according to

Ephesians 4;6 One God and father of all who is above all,

and through all and in you all……

Be an Ambassador for Jesus….

Like Esther, He wants the women to know that they are living in the Palace with the King, and for the men He wants the men to know that they can be like a Boaz to their families, to their workplace, Boaz was the Kinsman redeemer, Jesus is still Kinsmen redeemer, and we too can be like Boaz as we walk out the plan of God for our lives..... honouring others and obeying God, laying down our lives for others.

God’s plan is always to bring life, and life more abundantly……

Revival…. Means to Live again
There are areas in our lives where we need to live again, and God wants to bring His life into these areas, sometimes it involves relationships… husbands/ wives/ family/ children/ co workers….. but whatever it is the Lord wants to refresh and refire and restore and redeem, and He wants to have Relationship with us on a deeper more intimate level……

How do we become the hands and feet of Jesus? How do we become like the Father.
1 Spend time with Him
2 Get to know Him ~ His Nature, The Word.
3 Listen to His voice
4 Hang around with other people who are fathers in the Lord
5 Ask the Father that we might see and know His Heart
6 Ask for His plan.
7 Obey
8 Don’t just be a hearer of the word, be a doer.
9 Find a spiritual mother/father, everyone needs a mentor.

If any man is thirsty, give him a drink, if any man is lonely, have a chat with him, if any person is needy, don’t procrastinate, help! If there is a family/person in need…. Reach out and be the hands and feet of Jesus to them… be practical, not just spiritual. Religious people love to say “well, bless you brother God is good, Praise the Lord !” and they go off on their merry way… when what you really need is someone to sit down with you and listen to your heart! Christianity is about relationship, not religion, it is about a heart filled with God’s love, not religion filled with cold love, rules and regulations….

Be blessed, looking forward to seeing more miracles and healings and hearing testimonies of the Lord's goodness.

'Till next time.
