Meeting The Holy Spirit

By on Aug 31, 2005 in General | 2 comments

Wow! What a title! Meeting The Holy Spirit, but that is exactly what happened on my first known encounter with The Holy Spirit. It was awesome in one sense, and a bit nerve-racking at the same time. Why? Because it was a new experience for me. Incredibly, I was already a christian, and had been for about 8 years, I had known God’s voice, had a relationship with God, knew God, but I had never had that encounter with The Holy Spirit before, although I had been baptised in the Holy Spirit and spoke in tongues. Incredible! So what was the difference? If I could speak in tongues, that meant I had the gifts of the Holy Spirit, so why didn’t I know him? I remember when I was about 12 or 13, I hadn’t long been a christian, and I remember asking God if I could speak to the Holy Spirit, as soon as I had done that, the devil gave me a picture of a dark figure with red eyes,...

My God is a God of Miracles

We are so lucky to have had so many men and women of God to learn from, past and present! I don’t know how many times I have probably already said it, but these people are the folk we can learn so much from. I remember someone telling me once, that a person we both knew had experienced the power of God by raising someone from the dead, I was blown away when I was told this because I knew the person who was being talked about, so it wasn’t just a story read out of a book by someone I would probably never meet either because it was way before my time or someone who doesn’t live in this country, it was someone I have the honour of knowing. When I was told about this, I was asked not to say anything because they don’t like talking about it. (Off course, this was the opinion they were of, not something I had heard from the horse’s mouth), at the time I thought...

Living on the outside for Jesus

By on Aug 19, 2005 in Uncategorized | 0 comments

So, why the title? Well, its funny really, something I did today made me take a look at myself and wonder, what do people see on the outside? I realised, that what is in my heart, isn’t what others see of me. In other words, my heart to serve the Lord and do Gods will and my love for Jesus isnt portrayed in my every day life. God tells us to live a life which will please Him, and that is my desire, but, like Paul, “For what I want to do, I do not do, but what I hate to do, I do” Romans 7v15 God has got alot of work to do in me, but the thing is, I am willing to let Him do it, I have known Gods pruning before, so I know what I’m in for, but whenever God brings us to a place to “prune” us, it brings us closer to Him, we can hear Him better, and we are in a better place to fulfill the plans He has for us. I have seen, tasted and experienced the...

For me to live is Christ, to die, is gain

By on Aug 17, 2005 in Uncategorized | 1 comment

I was sat at work this afternoon, and for some unknown reason Philippians 1v21 came to me. For me to live is Christ, to die, is gain. I had no idea what that meant “For me to live, is Christ” It didn’t seem logical english to me, so I had it in my mind all day wondering what it meant. Sometimes when we read things in the Bible, we don’t fully grasp what we have just read, we need The Holy Spirit to give us the revelation or the interpretation of what it actually means. Well, this scripture came right out of the blue, so I know God was trying to tell me something , so I needed to understand what it meant so I could understand what God was saying, infact, I think I kind of knew, but couldn’t at that time arrange the words in my mind to fully grasp it. But God is patient and willing to help me understand. Anyway, this is now what I believe God was saying: For...

A People of Destiny

By on Aug 16, 2005 in Blog, Testimony | 0 comments

A new page has been added! Destiny – A People of Destiny It’s quite amazing how the words come for these pages. I was reading through some stuff that God gave me years ago that I had written down in notepads, and one of the things I wrote was: “Have I not given you a purpose to fulfill, will I not stand with you child in all that you do in my name?” Although I know God gave me a heart to do this site, it’s not one of the easiest things I have tried to do. It’s really important to me that the site is putting across the messages God wants and not things that I conjure up myself, what would be the point in doing that, what would it accomplish? Nothing. So it is important I am listening to God when writing the words that come out on the site, the site is here for one purpose, to MAKE JESUS KNOWN. Actually, reading there what God gave me was really...
