ooops...

oh my gosh, time does fly past, please forgive my 'slack'....been rather busy, yet here is no excuse to for a 10 minute reflection to all at lexden...

Obviously much has happened, many areas of my life have been completely changed, and Im most certain God will continue not only to guide me, but show me areas of my heart which need the 'fine tune' (ouch)!....

Today is an early morning  Sunday, i had a rather late night by my standards, Saturday night was a social at a local bar (no booze for me) with a large group from church.. Actually it was rather fun, apart from the late night, as i like to be in bed with 'the book' at 10pm!!...does that mean im getting old???!

Saturday kids program was absolute CHAOS...but obviuosly in that situation it was great, as the kids were all a huge handful, not listening, messing around,fighting etc etc...it means they were the needy ones, all praise to God for guiding them to us..

I have just finished my 1st term of 2nd year, the time is just flying past. Still busy each day of the week, however i now only serve in the 7pm service Sundfay night, which allows a bit of 'me time'..

I have dreams, and finallly after going through so much am beginning to believe God for them. He has opened so many doors for me it blows me away sometimes..I was sitting in church last week, watching the great Reggie Dabbs speak, i have seen many of the great speakers of theis world, the highlight being Reinhard Bonkee speak to the city congregation of 1000 people...God gave me a picture last week of me sitting in kingsland church a few years back, and kinda said to me 'You See'.. He was showin me how far he had taken me, and Im believing for much bigger things..

How exciting is it to know the Creator of the universe, and to have a REVELATION he is working in your life....All we need to do is trust him, and love him.....pretty simple...some of you need to hear that.

well, i gotta dash, i have been talking to a broken man who lives near to church, he is a hopeless case, very broken, very dependant on shutting the world out with booze....I hope to take him to the house of God today, see if the goodness and love of Jesus can break down the huge walls he has around his heart....

I have a class called homeletics, the art of preaching, our tutor is Robert Fergusson, who is an amazing communicator...so blessed.

any way we had to prepare a short sermon...I used Neils life and passion for God, and how his life had been cruely ripped from him by his weakness the devil used......I will build on the message, fine tune it, and continue to preach to many i hope..Neils life will make a difference, as God called it to.

Must go, bless you guys, remember servanthood, what are you doing to see the church move forward, are you the church or do you rely on Neil and his team to give you church. Does God reign in you life?   Does he consume your thoughts? Is he the reason you live?....Or is he there just for a Sunday morning?

isaiah 26:3 ' you will keep in perfect peace him whos mind is steadfast because he trusts in you...Trust in the Lord God forever'

God bless you all....xxxx
