We are a body of Christians who have come from a diverse mix of backgrounds, but together we have found a common love and passion for Jesus. We are working to see the Kingdom of Heaven increased here on earth Our desire is to see the demonstration of the tangible love and power of God.
We are a church of worshippers who value God’s presence above everything else. We believe that He is constantly speaking through the prophetic word and a demonstration of the gifts of the Spirit for the building, equipping of the whole body of Christ. We believe that He is still very active in our daily lives helping us to be a blessing to the world around us as we are led by His Holy Spirit.

#48 He has some questions for you
After he had said this, he went on to tell them, “Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep; but I am going there to wake him up.” (John 11v11 NIV)
Don’t be put off.
Don’t allow confusion to overwhelm you.
When Jesus speaks to you He can be a little bit cryptic.
He is talking about a greater truth.
He means to show you something profoundly important.
You may wonder why He said what He did.
I do, often.
He is trying to show you what it looks like from His perspective.
His answers often seem to fit another question.
He will answer your questions.
But you have to ask the right questions.
Even if the answer makes no sense, it requires your full attention.
He isn’t logical in the way we would like.
But we are made in His image, He isn’t made in ours.
This is quite different to our western, logical thinking. Nobody thinks like He does.
That is His invitation to you.
Just be willing to ask Him questions.
He doesn’t mind.
It is always better than guessing.
He wants a relationship with you more than anything.
He is your Heavenly Father.
What dad doesn’t want to talk to his children?
He is willing to listen and talk.
Are you?
Learn to dialogue with Him.
He enjoys it more than you think.
He created you to talk, so talk to Him.
(from ‘Wipe His Feet with Your Tears’ by Warren George)
Be encouraged…
Be encouraged, He has forgiven your sins, He loves you and wants the best for you. He wants you to thrive and succeed. He knows what is best for you and wants you to enjoy Him, fully and completely. He wants nothing more than to have a deep and meaningful relationship with you. He is not trying to get you to do something but to be who you really are. He made you and He knows how you work. Listen to Him, spend time with Him, He is kinder, more loving than you can ever imagine. He will accept you as you are but loves you too much to leave you like that.
Jesus is just so passionate about you even more than you are.
Testimony week 7
After a long day, at altitude, jet lag and lack of sleep went to fill the car up at a petrol station and put the debit card in the wrong slot. Put it the receipt by mistake. It is not that we haven’t done this a million times but... so stood there thinking what we were going to do so I prayed, asking God to help, the owner came out and could not get the card so I declared ‘there is a solution’ but it was not looking promising. He left us with a paper clip and a large plastic
