The Alone me...(part 7)

It has been a huge day.

I love our church when it's like this.

Someone made a comment to me tonight, questioning the validity of " carpet time " which some people call it when God puts people on the floor.

Here's what I think....

God can do whatever He wants , whichever way He wants, whenever He wants in my ministry and in our church.

I will never stand in the way of what God should choose to do in His church...

I have been around long enough to know the difference between those that fake this and those who do not.... And I just know deep down in my spirit, that God was working in our church today.

People were changed, blessed, encouraged, uplifted and touched.

It's sad to me when we question what almighty sovereign omnipotent God can or cannot do, based on our limited human understanding of Him and His ways.

We will all get some surprises I think, when we get to heaven...perhaps some of the methods we employ in our churches will be seen as carnal at best, but we will be in heaven and thats what matters most.

Arguments on earth about church traditions and rituals and concepts do little to advance the gospel....

Freedom in church and an openness to the mysteries of the Spirit will change the earth.

I agree the term " carpet time " really doesn't adequately describe Gods work in our church.

But I can tell you, when A person is laying flat on the floor, and you didn't put them there and they didn't put themselves there either....well something has happened, and everyone I have ever spoken to about this, is just blessed beyond words can explain.

So...here I am, 2 more Sundays before back with Julie. A lot is going on in me and today was just simply awesome, even if it's criticized by some.

I love it when God does what He did today for me and for us.

Today, we had fun, We did our best and we had some wins.

What more could you ask for in a church ?

May this week be better still.

I have seen things in my journey so far, that I guess some cynics and skeptics could question and disbelieve.

The time I saw angels. The time my daughter was supernaturally healed. The time when God spoke to me in my dreams through scripture. The demons cast out. The awareness that God was with me in my room as I prayed.

People always criticse what they are sometimes ignorant of. But that doesn't change the reality and truth of what God does and who He is.

No one can take my testimony from me.

My God is more real to me than the air I breathe. He has done things and around me that prove His power. And I want even more still.

Bring it on God in Salvos 3064 church and in my life.

May it be always so forever, in me.

Be blessed today.

What got us here, will not get us there.

I have been thinking about the this for sometime now. We as TSA have come along way, but yet...there is a long way yet to go, and everything we have done up until now, has given us the results we now have. It's insanity to think, that if we keep doing the things we have already done, that we will get a different result. All that we have done so far, in previous weeks, months and years and even decades have given us the results we are seeing right now. If we think for one moment that things are going to change, by doing the things the same way as we have already done them, then there may be a need for seeing a therapist. do things the same way, get the same result. change the way you do things, get a different result. the problem with this, is ..... that many think everything is honky dory....all "A OK".... and that's where the real bottle neck actually is. Because the truth is, (and many don't want to acknowledge the truth), that we are not winnin...

Salvo style.... God is here.

For me these days, life is super busy. I used to think I was busy before, but now...my goodness. Now, so that it's clear, I am happy being busy with the Kingdom stuff, and would never cope if I was blatantly bored in ministry, I am simply not wired in such a way. Life is good. My ministry is good. My God is good. For those of my readers who think, that maybe, I think I have arrived..... wash your mouths out...there is no way I think that, last week my head was in such a spin, I literally had to walk out the office and go home. I went for a walk to clear my head and got drenched when it started raining, and it was really good for me... I gained perspective and focus and the next day in the office was a little more sober. It's a busy place and much is going on.... it does pose questions for me, which over time I will seek clarity from the senior leaders here....and I guess where needed, I will tweak where and when I can. in the meantime, I am just doing what I feel...

Psychics

Went onto a Facebook thread this week that involved people seeking a psychic for whatever reason. I understand that the world is seeking answers,  and I have the answer but the answer I have people don't want to seek. VERY  FRUSTRATING . now as bad as it all is, what makes it worse, WAY WORSE...is that some of the people in our church were on there making appointments.   Now, before you throw your hands up in the air and ask what kind of church this actually is... we run a new church here at Craigieburn and it has loads of new baby Christians, and many also, who are just here checking things out...not committed to Christ yet, that's part of the journey of planting a Church..... so it is expected that there will always be people who are on various stages of growth. If you are reading this..and you have been doing this psychic thing... you don't need to do it, you need to seek Jesus and His Holy Spirit, it will be better than anything and everything else yo...
