Hi Church,
Bless God! What another wonderful weekend in His presence! The Worship rich and alive, hearts responsive and a great moment praying over our next generation as they begin their next 12-month discipleship journey.
After a great week of prayer and worship seeking the Lord, Monday to Thursday an open Heaven of His goodness and love and presence seems to be available to us even more than what has been felt before. This is something that we can’t take lightly. I believe the Lord is inviting us onto Holy Ground. As we did prophetically during the prayer time we need to do figuratively every week. We need take off our shoes (representing self-effort) and stand in awe of Him, barefoot, representing dependency on His grace and Holy Spirit as our covering.
My message addressed our lack of belief for life through the story of Lazarus and Jesus delay and then Martha’s conversation with Jesus and then Jesus commanding Lazarus out of the grave and having his grave clothes removed. My statements were based on John 11:1-48 and considered the following:-
Learn to trust in God’s timing not yours
Make sure the Glory for miracles goes to Jesus.
Blame and regret don’t release miracles.
Right theology doesn’t bring Life… only Trust in Jesus
You can trust Jesus with the grief of your past and present.
Arguments stating the obvious don’t lead to miracles and life ….only obedience does.
Resurrection life doesn’t come with immediate freedom, our part is to remove what binds us and entangles us.
Please re-listen to my message and discover what areas in your life are dead and what you’re grieving over and then invite Jesus to speak into your grave to release life and freedom to you.
It’s time to re-connect with a life group. And if you are new to Grace church, I invite you to look at the Grace webpage to discover who, when and where you can connect. https://www.gracechurchpm.org.au/life-groups-copy
The Lord is good and we earnestly desire Him.
Let’s continue in our hunger for Him.
Love and blessings
