Expecting.... What !!! ( A snippet of what God is saying to me (already) about next weekend)

What are you expecting to happen these days in your life ? 

anything ? 

something ? 

nothing ?

I love coming to church with a bunch of people who are expecting something from God.
There is simply nothing like it on the earth, than the spirit of expectancy, when like minded people gather in Gods House expecting God to turn up and do something amongst them.


before I say too much more... I want to challenge your thinking on this subject. 

when you get ready for church next Sunday morning, crank up your expectancy  for the things of God.

some who read this stuff in my blog, might try to discount the words I say as whatever...hype or  lacking depth of theology or something.... ( if thats you, you just knock yourself out)...but I want to say that  the theology means nothing without action and reality... 

and the reality is... 

 we need to come before God expecting Him to move in our lives.

expecting Him to bless
expecting Him to heal
expecting Him to restore..
expecting Him to release
expecting Him to forgive...
exopecting Him to grow you
expecting Him to give His Spirit and His power to you.

and of course...

you expecting to worship HIM.

so if you plan on being in Ringwood next Sunday morning... come expectant... !!!!

coz if you dont...then it means that you are not expecting God to do anything... and that in itself is a very big statement of faithlessness. ( if there is such a word)


I will  be preaching something along these lines next Sunday morning...and as God leads me I will believe for great things from Him.

Last Sunday we had over 250 in sunday morning church, maybe the most we have had for a while...

can you dare to dream/imagine a kind of dream that would be about How Big God is and what God could do with a bunch of people who were extreme in their faith ?

who  came before Him in worship, just expecting His Spirit to move so mightily that everything was changed into  the perfect position for His purpose and plan to be released. ?

where crtics were silenced, coz they were looking at God and not man ?

where the Holy Spirit supernatural was stronger than the flesh ?

can you imagine what God could do in you and me, if we were just prepared to say to Him with absolute sincerity of heart and mind...

"God touch me with your power, 
fill me with your power, 
do something in me that you have never done before".

 well....

no matter what church you go to...

what is stopping you from making that kind of prayer !!??

I dare you... put aside the human blockages...
get rid of the if's and the buts..

put aside the indifference and  doubt and take a risk...

God just wants the best for you....

and the best is still yet to come. !!!!

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

A few things happening lately.

I don't think I have ever had such a difficult time.... I am well aware of issues where I have been disrespected and disregarded and my ministry count for absolutely nothing... 16 years means nothing to some.... Neither does 11 years of planting, oh well...that's leadership. It's lonely, it's hard, and at times extremely hurtful. But I still choose to stay the course, I still choose to go hard, coz I am not going home. Really when it comes down to it, when a person disrespects you, it is highly possible it is their issue not my own. I do believe though you have to earn respect and loyalty and so if I don't have it from all in my circle then maybe I haven't earned it ? Or... Sigh! oh we'll I am sure you get it. It's sometimes very lonely and as I said previously, hurtful. Look at Jesus, he was more than hurt, more than abandoned and more than disrespected. He was killed. Ridiculed. Spat on. Ignored. He was abused. He was left alone. Betra
