God helps us make spiritual progress, as we allow His Holy Spirit to use our trials and life’s circumstances to mould us into GOD’S image.

I often have prayed this verse ahead of spiritual challenges, but lately, I feel to encourage myself and others to pray this verse during conflicts to keep me strong:

14 March 2020

I have now heard some churches are closing until Easter due to the corona-virus. I cannot in good conscience do this as to me it’s like aligning with the enemy. By far the greater virus is fear. One thing we should all know for sure by now is that faith comes by hearing, and fear comes by hearing as well. They both “attract.” As the world is being inundated by statistics of the corona-virus through all forms of media our enemy is being filled with joy as one of his greatest tactics is flowing almost totally unhindered. Satan rejoices when we allow his strategies to speak louder to us than our Father’s promises.

Of course, it’s fine to take precautions, but it’s not okay to be so over occupied with the topic that you find your mind and thoughts consistently being more aware of the virus than you are of the promise. My bible still says He has given us authority over all the power of the enemy (Luke 10:19). Of course, Psalm 91 promises if our love is set upon Him that no plague shall come nigh our dwelling. But my favourite remains Exodus 12 where He tells us that “when I see the blood, I will not allow the destroyer to come into your house.”

Do you see the work of the blood, or do you see the print on newspapers as a larger font size allowing it to be bigger? Are we letting the voice of the newscaster to speak louder to us than the voice of our Father? Simple question, with a profound outcome.

Remember your basic training. Fear attracts attack. This is validated even in the science of psychology. You attract what you meditate upon. You can actually “become” what you “believe.” Right now, you are “becoming” what you constantly give your thought life to. My suggestion to us in the family of God is that we do some personal inspection of what we’re allowing to flow through our minds, and strongly consider staying with what our Loving Creator & Father has spoken and promised, more than what is constantly being offered up by the newscasters with their statistics and “prophecies.”

Remember Satan works through intimidation which causes us to do what the enemy wants through fear. However, intimidation only works until it encounters someone who is intimate with God. A speaker named Stella Payton said, “Intimacy imparts true identity. When you know who you are, you’re no longer affected by intimidation. Remember, David had no fear of Goliath because of his intimacy with God. His fearlessness cancelled the power of intimidation. Remember also, intimacy inspires us to do what the Father desires through love.” I choose His love.

In His love

God changes us from within, if we are willing to receive from Him! Recently my mind was getting filled with fear and doubt that we would ever find our own church building and things would improve – hopefully we would find a building in central London and all our problems would go away and our lives would become less stressful. I simply could not get through and stir up my faith – how ridiculous was that, considering God had done it before… you see the problems we face are really faith issues.

In fact, when I asked God to help me, God spoke and said “I am always here to help!”. He reminded me of a time long ago, when I had been a single parent and He had provided a home for me and my young son. At the time, I had kept reading this scripture wondering what it had to do with my life, as I had no desire to be a part of a family…

If we’re going to learn to live our lives trusting God to bring us to that place of freedom, we need to train our minds to ensure that our thought-lives are pure and free from the entrapment that the enemy is constantly trying to ensnare us with. The Lord has instructed us not to accept negative thoughts as truth. God is good and kind, even in those times when life feels unfair, we can trust in Him to fulfil His word in our life.

First let’s ask for a NEW CLEAN HEART.

You are God’s CHOSEN one in the Earth!

Stay blessed

It has been said by recognised global leadership, that if you know nothing, or everything, about music and worship, you will still walk away from even a short encounter with Ray with something you didn’t have before. 

Ray is a treasure chest of revelation of who God is and what worship is, and he teaches a deep appreciation for how God has always created and spread LIFE through His sound.

Guest speakers include Ray Hughes, internationally renowned expert on the influence of sound and music, and Pastor Steve Dittmar from Jubilee Church in California. Their teaching brings a deeper level of understanding to your praise and worship, and will embolden and equip you to go to war for the music industry in your prayer life.

Discussion panels hosted by Julie Anderson and include Eska, Hellie Brunt, Jamie Anderson, Lucy Grimble, Mike Brown, Ray Hughes and Steve & Cammy Dittmar.

The life-changing teaching, impartation and prophecy will enable you to walk in greater intimacy with the Lord.

Special afternoon sessions with Liz Jones-Wright and a panel discussion with our speakers included.

God wants to lead us into a deeper revelation of our destiny. Expect to receive more of your destinies; and be equipped to lead the Body of Christ into the new places of understanding God’s Kingdom, the music and the Message. Listen to Pastor Steve Dittmar as he teaches us how we can all expand the intimacy we are developing in our relationship with Jesus. Ray Hughes speaks prophetically concerning our understanding of the sounds we carry and make which affect our futures and influence all those around us.

We pray you’ll enjoy these teachings.

Cindy Jacobs talks about turning around our thoughts and prayers and gives us a strong prophetic perspective.  As we learn to become more positive in our thinking, and praise God and give Him thanks in every situation, we gain new strengths. God is using praying women today in the world and it’s all good. Cindy addresses the secret of increase  and how to walk in supernatural abundance.

Julie Anderson talks about how each of us can make a difference in whatever stage we are in, and we can learn how to discover our influence in society,  and how our heartfelt prayers avail much. Each of us carry different assignments, with different aspects to pray for and act upon. As we continue to pray for revival in Europe and the rest of the world, already many children are awakening spiritually. We can especially know how to pray for Muslim women.

Tiffany Buhler shares her life circumstances and how her faith and prayer strengthens her to walk by faith.
