Nothing is so strong as gentleness,
and nothing is so gentle as true strength.

Just Joking

Three sons left home, went out on their own and prospered. Getting together for Christmas, they discussed the gifts they were able to give their elderly mother.

The first said, "I built a big house for our mother."


The second said, "I sent her a Mercedes."


The third smiled and said, "I've got you both beat. You remember how mom enjoyed reading the Bible? And you know she can't see very well. So I sent her a remarkable parrot that recites the entire Bible. It took elders in the church 12 years to teach him. He's one of a kind. Mom just has to name the chapter and verse, and the parrot recites it."

Soon thereafter,
Mom sent out her letters of thanks:


"Dear Milton," she wrote one son, "The house you built is too huge. I live in only one room, but I have to keep the whole house clean!"

"Dear Gerald," she wrote to another, "I am too old to travel. I stay at home most of the time, so I rarely use the Mercedes."

"Dearest Donald," she wrote to her third son, "You have the good sense to know what your Mother likes.
The chicken was
Dee-licious!

The Lord is saying. Be still and wait. Do not rush ahead of me. I have something special to do through you, but you must wait upon me in the quietness of your soul. Look within and wait. I will be all you need Me to be and I will be a blessing through you for others.

The Lord is saying: Don't be anxious. Go and do my bidding and you will find the doors opening before your eyes, for I have already gone before you, and I am with you to conquer all the obstacles. Do not be afraid, but be of good cheer. I have overcome the world.

10th June 10

The Lord is saying.   You have been obedient in the keeping of the words I have given you. Do not slack off now and let the doubts of the world creep in. My word is true and everlasting. Stay on my promises and declare them often. Great fruit is coming and blessings from the keeping of my word in your heart

ENTERING IN TO THE FINISHED WORK
(THE REST)


You can definitely see giants..dwarfs you might miss but giants you can definitely see.
…You can hear giants... a little Thumbelina you might not hear, but giants you can definitely hear them.
Do you think that you can feel them… like the ground shaking when they walk?..

......

Moses sent twelve spies into the land of Canaan, and said
Go and see the land, whether it is good or bad, whether the people are strong or weak, few or many. Whether they live in tents, or fortresses. They came back with proof that it was a wonderful land. Two people had to carry one bunch of grapes. It was so heavy. They showed the fruit to the whole of Israel.

Numbers 13. 27.

The twelve had been set up. God already knew what the land was like, that it was beautiful, that there were giants and that they lived in walled cities. But He also knew that the giants were already dead meat…..It was a finished work….already written before the beginning of time…the same as it was written that the Red Sea would part and that water would come out of a rock and feed millions of people including the livestock…The manna they would eat had already been prepared before the beginning of time…And these giants were already annihilated in God's eyes….But he wanted to know what was in the hearts of the men, what they were looking at and most importantly what they would say….for that was the final evidence and would determine whether they entered into the promised land or not.

Ten of the men saw the giants, they saw themselves and measured the giants against themselves….They were grasshoppers compared to them. Joshua and Caleb saw God and what He had promised….He saw the unseen….They measured the giants next to God and His promise. God won hands down.

2 Corinthians 4. 17..18


Giants you can see, but Joshua and Caleb saw the unseen, the finished work

David saw the unseen when He faced the giant He said to Goliath.

1 Sam 17. 46.

This day will the Lord deliver thee into mine hand; and I will smite thee, and take thine head from thee; and I will give the carcases of the host of the Philistines this day unto the fowls of the air, and to the wild beasts of the earth; that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel.

He had seen the finished work

Abraham saw that He was the Father of many Nations and considered not what his eyes could see when he looked at Sarah an old woman and himself and old man…..He looked at the unseen and not the seen. He looked at the finished work.
.....


ITS NOT JUST WHAT YOU SEE….ITS ALSO WHAT YOU HEAR

1 King 19. 11 & 12

The still small voice, is the unseen. It doesn't cause a fuss..It doesn't demand
Attention. It doesn't cry out "lOOK AT ME"….It can easily be ignored. Joshua and
Caleb magnified God, they magnified the still small voice.... until it became big in them and this is what we have to do. When you get a magnifying glass and magnify an ant it looks massive. God is already massive, but we have to make him bigger in our thinking,
when we do that the giants shrink to theIr true size, nothing….They were just a lie…..God has already overcome them.

Numbers 15. 17, 18 and 19

Did you see that God had said When you enter the promise land…not if. All of Israel heard this. They had been told that God had brought them out to bring them in. But it didn't profit them. Why?

Hebrew 4. 2. It profited them nothing for they didn't mix what they heard with faith.

Joshua and Caleb were the only two who didn't harden their hearts but believed when Moses told them what God was going to do. The rest hardened their hearts….

A good prayer to say is "God give me a soft heart".

God has brought us out to bring us in. To bring us in to the Finished work.

BLOSSOMS OF THOUGHT.


A thimbleful of dreams
lights the way ahead,
each dream split with sun
and oh, so wholesome,
tangible and fluctuating
and spiralling. 

Translucent,
thoughtful imagination.
The transcendence
of the impossible,
reaching into time and space,
nurturing all of the inner being
and restoring the essence
of thought out of all recognition,
lifting the mind and inner being
into flights of frivolous fantasy
and longed for security.

Streams of the invisible,
rushing gurgling,
and flowing with gentleness,
through the facets
of each corridor of bleak thought, bringing in light and gaiety,
and awesome imaginings.

Changing dark night into
the flower of amazing
sun-drenched dawn,
wherein we see Your face
O Lord,
stirring with eagerness
to search for more,
to turn the "miry clay"
into lush green pasture,
so soft,
revealing poignant imprint,
pervading the open spaces of the sunlit avenues,
imbued with charismatic resonance, dancing lightly
across the horizon
of ingenious langour,
where the blossoms of yesterday hang tenderly on the bough
of our mind,
releasing aromatic scent
of invitation to bowers,
festooned with woodbine and hanging baskets of oriental spices, with iridescent hues
calming all the senses,
and affecting all with enhanced exploration of thought in flight,
and rainbow brilliance
nourishing the soul
with wonderment and aesthetic quality.

Blossoms of thought in-dwelling
the human spirit and elevating
each fibre with enrichment
of notion and contment of state, brought into use
for the breaking down
of awkward barriers
of excruciating heart-break and pain,
having a corrective quality,
transcending all indulgence,
lifting us closer to His heart.

Far above each horizon l
ies a qualatative purposeful character, acknowledging
each inspirational pattern
with measures for transformation
of the highest excellence
known to the human mind,
as like to the harbinger of Spring,
and His enfolding us
in love and joy and peace, 
with magnificence likened
to feathered darts,
touching the hurting places,
where heavy boot-prints,
in regurgitation of dark evil,
dared to tread on
and crush the enigmatic and beautiful butterfly of thought.

Blissful scents
of yesterday's thoughts leave gentle footprints on our soul,
with highly charged glimmer of awesome and indispensable weapon to defeat the foe of harsh
and reverberating hammer
of thoughtlesness and sheer cruelty, the kind that never goes away,
for it is truly the battle
between good and evil.


However we live in great assurance of the prevailing of righteousness,
and the defrocking of all evil intent.

Sponsored walk

A 15km walk around Dovedale to help dig a well for constant fresh water for the rubbish dump children in Tenali, India.
Would you like to join us in the walk, sponsor us or organise sponsorship for us

Sponsored Walk

A Message from Anita Ball

As you may already know a team of us went out to India in December of last year to visit with Brother Raju (who is also a medical doctor) and he took us round the tribal villages of Tenali that he cares for. He took us to many tribal villages but the one that needs our help now is the one in Guntur. This village is right next to a rubbish dump and they are desperately in need of a bore well. We need to raise at least £600 for this well to be dug and so I am going to do a walk around Dovedale at the end of June and for those of you who would like to sponsor me then please get in touch with either myself or Shirley to donate. There are so many good things that Brother Raju does for his people that if we are blessed to have more money than we need for the well this will then be spent feeding the children of the villages and helping Brother Raju provide medical care for all the tribal villages. I pray that God will put it in your heart to help these people. God bless to you all. Your sister in Christ Jesus xxx
