Prodigal Son

8th April 2011
The Lord is saying. You
have come through something that you didn't think could be conquered
and yet you pushed your faith to believe that the battle truly
was already won. One second of believing was worth more that
hours of prayer. This has strengthened your faith and shown
you that the one thing that is needed is believing.
All things are possible
and you shall overcome in every aspect. For I have promised
that those who believe that I am the Son of God overcome the
world
Fear Not

'
'Hear, O Israel;
Today you are on the verge of battle with your enemies.
Do not . . . be terrified because of them; For the LORD your
God is He who goes with you, To fight for you against your enemies,
to save you'
Deuteronomy 20: 3=
Have you seen the New Zealand rugby team preparing for battle
against other national teams? They have choreographed a war
dance that aims to do two things - build-up their own confidence
and knockdown the confidence of their opponents. In life,
we will come in contact with individuals who live by the same
strategy, yet God says to you 'Do not be terrified because
of them'. If your confidence is in your own ability, they
may well succeed in destroying it, but if you put your confidence
in the Lord our God they haven't got a chance! He's bigger,
He's better . . . and thank God He's on your side!
Dear Lord,
Help me not to be terrified when others say or do things
to knock my confidence, but instead let their behaviour
stand as a reminder to put my confidence in Your strength,
not mine, for you are the mighty God who fights my battles.
I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. Amen!
Spurgeon

“For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew
no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God
in him.”- 2Co_5:21
Mourning Christian! why weepest thou? Art thou mourning
over thine own corruptions? Look to thy perfect Lord,
and remember, thou art complete in him; thou art in
God’s sight as perfect as if thou hadst never sinned;
nay, more than that, the Lord our Righteousness hath
put a divine garment upon thee, so that thou hast more
than the righteousness of man-thou hast the righteousness
of God. O thou who art mourning by reason of inbred
sin and depravity, remember, none of thy sins can condemn
thee. Thou hast learned to hate sin; but thou hast learned
also to know that sin is not thine-it was laid upon
Christ’s head. Thy standing is not in thyself-it
is in Christ; thine acceptance is not in thyself, but
in thy Lord; thou art as much accepted of God to-day,
with all thy sinfulness, as thou wilt be when thou standest
before his throne, free from all corruption. O, I beseech
thee, lay hold on this precious thought, perfection
in Christ! For thou art “complete in him.”
With thy Saviour’s garment on, thou art holy as
the Holy one. “Who is he that condemneth? It is
Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who
is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession
for us.” Christian, let thy heart rejoice, for
thou art “accepted in the beloved”-what hast
thou to fear? Let thy face ever wear a smile; live near
thy Master; live in the suburbs of the Celestial City;
for soon, when thy time has come, thou shalt rise up
where thy Jesus sits, and reign at his right hand; and
all this because the divine Lord “was made to be
sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the
righteousness of God in him.”
I would be pleased to hear
from you, therefore I have created a contact form, for
you to send me your thoughts or questions etc. Shirley

Prayer Requests
Please continue to pray for A, She
has been into some really bad occult things due to thinking
she had lost her salvation. She wants to come back to the
Lord. Please pray that she will turn from all the lies of
the enemy and be totally set free in the love of Jesus.
Can you pray that her finances will be restored. Her income
support was stopped due to some confusion.
Please pray for L. She has 6 children.
Her eldest, just a young teenager has tried to commit suicide
on numerous occasions. Her son's homework is anger management
and all the family have stopped going to church. L is smoking
and letting the children smoke. Please pray and cover this
family against the attacks of satan and that the root problems
will get dealt with.
Please could you continue to pray
for A's son that he will stay free from drugs and from the
people who encouraged him in the past to take them. Please
pray for his complete salvation in Jesus.
Please continue to pray for the P
family. The husband very sick and in pain. The problem seems
to be that the daughter doesn't want him to go to a hospice,
but the wife has been exhausted. Plus there is a question
of finances and maybe the house being under threat as a
means of paying for his care. Please pray they don't lose
the house but that he will have the very best care at home.
Please
continue to pray for Jack who has cancer.
Please
pray for a lady I met at the gym who is thinking about being
a Christian. Her husband Fred has cancer of the oesophagus.
Please pray they will both get saved and the husband will
get healed.

Christian Bookshop
A couple of months ago, I
felt the Lord was telling me to sing at the stall. He even
gave me a date.... 25th March. I knew that this would mean
that I would be taking an amplifier in, but the chances
of getting permission to sing were very slim.
My chance came when I learnt
that Urban Biz who helped me start up in the market, were
celebrating outside. So I had a good excuse to just get
on with it, and plead ignorance if anyone came to tell me
to be quiet.
Bill Caine came to support me and
I sung with the volume louder than I knew. I thought people
were complaining but the next day, the opposite was true
and they loved it. Maybe the Lord will have me doing a stint
again.
I was blessed by a man coming to
the stall who could'nt seem to get away. He came back apologising.
The second time he came back he explained that the Lord
wanted him to give me £30 towards the rent. Isn't
God amazing!!! Thanks Jesus.
