Looking at GOD

Sometimes it's good to just sit, wait and be silent. To allow a picture to form in our minds of 'Almighty God'


The setting:-

Rev. 4:2-11 (MsgB)
I was caught up at once in deep worship and, oh!—a Throne set in Heaven with One Seated on the Throne, suffused in gem hues of amber and flame with a nimbus of emerald. Twenty-four thrones circled the Throne, with Twenty-four Elders seated, white-robed, gold-crowned. Lightning flash and thunder crash pulsed from the Throne. Seven fire-blazing torches fronted the Throne (these are the Sevenfold Spirit of God). Before the Throne it was like a clear crystal sea.
Prowling around the Throne were Four Animals, all eyes. Eyes to look ahead, eyes to look behind. The first Animal like a lion, the second like an ox, the third with a human face, the fourth like an eagle in flight. The Four Animals were winged, each with six wings. They were all eyes, seeing around and within. And they chanted night and day, never taking a break:

Holy, holy, holy
Is God our Master, Sovereign-Strong,
The Was, The Is, The Coming.

Every time the Animals gave glory and honor and thanks to the One Seated on the Throne—the age-after-age Living One— [10] the Twenty-four Elders would fall prostrate before the One Seated on the Throne. They worshiped the age-after-age Living One. They threw their crowns at the foot of the Throne, chanting,

Worthy, O Master! Yes, our God!
Take the glory! the honor! the power!
You created it all;
It was created because you wanted it.

I turned and saw the voice.

I saw a gold menorah
with seven branches,
And in the center, the Son of Man,
in a robe and gold breastplate,
hair a blizzard of white,
Eyes pouring fire-blaze,
both feet furnace-fired bronze,
His voice a cataract,
right hand holding the Seven Stars,
His mouth a sharp-biting sword,
his face a perigee sun.

I saw this and fainted dead at his feet. His right hand pulled me upright, his voice reassured me:
"Don't fear: I am First, I am Last, I'm Alive. I died, but I came to life, and my life is now forever. See these keys in my hand? They open and lock Death's doors, they open and lock Hell's gates.


When you take the time to look at God. What do YOU see??

Spiritual Awakening

I suppose I am just sensitive to what God is saying at the moment.
It's amazing how your spiritual senses sharpen at times of pressure.

I have always known the analogy that when Coal is put under pressure for long period of time it can become a Diamond, but for the first time I found on the net, the comment that Coal is made of 'Dead Living Things'.

Only God can make Diamonds out of Dead Living things !

George Whitfield, John Wesley and other standard bearers of historical revivals withstood harsh attacks from within the established church who complained bitterly of their unorthodox means of reaching people. They shook the system!

But they persisted in thinking outside the box.
Jesus too was slandered & ridiculed but still went after the people who needed him.

People can feel threatened by what they do not understand or is not the norm. But this does not make them right.

In the next 3 years God is going to shake this nation of ours out of it's place of complacency. There is to be a realisation in the church (an Awakening!!!!) that we are the 'Answers to our own Prayers'. That when we ask God to save people, he says GO and save them by sharing the Good News. Jesus said 'The fields are ripe unto Harvest'

When we ask God for 'Revival', he waits for us to 'GO' out and start it, ignite it, stoking the fires of Gods love in peoples hearts.

WE are the Answer........... church systems will be challenged...... as radical believers prepared to be the hands & feet of Jesus............. and 'GO'

Do you 'Live' what you Claim to 'Believe'?

This is the 2nd of two Blogs today, so check out the 1st one before you read this one

Jesus' test of a true disciple was the fruit that eminated from his or her life. he encountered numerous people who talked a good game (such as the Pharisees), but He was only enthusiastic about those who lived what they claimed to believe.

Many people like to think - and make others think - they are revolutionaries, but their lives betray their deception.

How can you tell if someone is a Revolutionary?

Read on by clicking here
(this is a long one and will need all your attention, so take time out and meditate on it)

What is a Revolutionary?

In terms of a Christian Life, what is a Revolutionary?

I believe it to be those whose realise that it will take a revolution in their own thinking and in their own life to become a radical DISCIPLE of Jesus Christ. Every disciple that walked with Jesus had the hallmarks of a Revolutionary.

Their lives, thinking, actions and re-actions all bore the hallmarks of a revolution that took place inside them. Their lives were never the same again?

Isaiah 61 - It's Time, do you hear the Call??

A Prayer!

Psalm 5:1-4 (MsgB)

Listen, God! Please, pay attention!
Can you make sense of these ramblings,
[2] my groans and cries?
King-God, I need your help.
[3] Every morning
you'll hear me at it again.
Every morning
I lay out the pieces of my life
on your altar
and watch for fire to descend.

JESUS the Revolutionary

For out of the ashes will come a New Thing

(taken from a prophetic word given to me 3 days ago)
This is a long Blog so I have done a link to most of it.

Websters dictionary define a revolutionary as

"someone committed to the thorough replacement of an established government in the hope of seeing radical change in society and social structures"

Link no longer available.... go buy the book at www.barna.org

MAJESTY

Lets worship Him


Here I am humbled by your Majesty
Covered by your grace so free
Here I am, knowing I'm a sinful man
Covered by the blood of the Lamb

Now I've found the greatest love of all is mine
Since you laid down your life
The greatest sacrifice

Majesty, Majesty
Your grace has found me just as I am
Empty handed, but alive in your hands
Majesty, Majesty
Forever I am changed by your love
In the presence of your Majesty

Here I am humbled by the love that you give
Forgiven so that I can forgive
Here I stand, knowing that I'm your desire
Sanctified by glory and fire

Now I've found the greatest love of all is mine
Since you laid down your life
The greatest sacrifice

When is a CheeseBurger not a CheeseBurger?

Last night we had a yummy scrumptious meal at The Bistro in Conwy with our friends Pete and Midge...... Best ever food!
We had the 'posh cheeseburger', which in fact turned out to be a fillet steak, with cheese, bacon, mushrooms and lots of other things I forget, all in a delicious sauce!
Now Midge is at weight-watchers today so she had hers minus the bread, and as we are on the fat-fighters diet, I did likewise, so please don't worry about the calories, it was all very low in fat,
as I was assured by that little voice that whispers in my ear at times like that, funny how he seems to turn up at meal times!
He also said it was okay to have the pavlova and the little nibbly bits that were brought out before and after the meal!
Ha! I will be so thin soon.... I love this diet!!!!

From Snow to Sun, Sun, Sun

Yesterday I flew to Florida and arrived to a balmy early evening in the mid 60's. Now this is the way to avoid a cold winter in Wales

Poor Gill on the other hand is trying to get her car out of the drive-way, so she can go shopping for food. It's still MINUS 5C at home
Sorry Gill, but it's 84F today and the beach is calling me. I can hear it's sweet dulcit tones ringing as the waves lap gently towards the shore-line and the warm breeze brush my face.

Can you see it, can you almost feel it and smell it,..... go on, breath it in........... Ahhhhhh Florida, I love it


If anyone has any comments to make about leaving my wife at home, please don't leave them here

Happy St David's Day

For those who don't know it, Today (March 1st) is St David's Day.

St David is the patron saint of Wales and was one of the first people to bring the gospel into Wales, way back in 589AD

The Flag of St David is associated with Wales and appears as a black field with a gold cross . This flag was originally taken from the Coat of Arms of the Diocesan of St David. The black and gold (yellow) flag is flown in Wales today as well as the Red Dragon. It's true meaning represented the 'Light of the Gospel, brought into the Darkness'

The most famous story about Saint David tells how he was preaching to a huge crowd and the ground is said to have risen up, so that he was standing on a hill and everyone had a better chance of hearing him.

St David's Day has been a national festival in Wales since the 18th century, and is still marked with gusto.

Many people will wear either a daffodil or a leek, which are both symbols of Wales.

So, you are asking yourself, why am I holding a Daffodil in my mouth. Well, it seemed like a good idea at the time and I was very unhappy I missed my Pancakes Yesterday. (They don't taste the same I have to say)
