Newsletter of Hope - Free Indeed

  Free indeed I want to share with you my testimony of how Jesus set me free.   When I asked Jesus into my heart I was born again.  My Spirit was made new.  Being born again did not instantly transform me into this Holy of Holy person, there was work to be done in my soul.  We are made up of Spirit, soul and body.  So my Spirit was made new but my soul which is my mind, will and emotions needed to be transformed.   Romans 12:2. Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect. When I was a young christian I remember starting to sing a praise and worship song out loud at church.  For me to sing out loud was not something I did but this song I remember saying to myself ‘I really like this song” and started to sing it out.  Suddenly, I felt a pain in my lower back and then felt power go out of my body, my legs and my...

Newsletter of Hope - Run to Jesus

Run to Jesus I have been looking at two plants in my garden.  One I just planted has multiplied, increased and is flourishing.  Another plant that I have is not doing so well, the leaves of that plant have been eaten and destroyed by bugs, all that is left are the stems, it is barren and struggling to stay alive. The plant that is flourishing is getting what it needs to live and multiply, what it carries and what is within it resists the bugs.  This plant also can feed livestock, it also has qualities to help with healing of our bodies and has many other uses.  This plant reseeds itself and it creates new plants every year. It also has good deep roots established and not easily removed.  You can take flowers or leaves off this plant and it still stands strong and continues to grow. When we are in a relationship with Jesus, reading His Word, knowing our authority, knowing who we are in Christ, our identity, then we are like the plant that is flourishing.  We...

Newsletter of Hope - Complacency

  Complacency I feel very burdened with this message.  I ask you to read it with eyes to see and ears to hear and an open heart to receive.  Over the last few weeks I had been away spending time with other born again believers from different countries of the World.  In one way I was so blessed and encouraged meeting new people in the body of Christ and in other ways I was so convicted. Now that I am home again and have had time to think upon my time away and the people I have met, it has made me unsatisfied with how I am living my life.  The people I met and there testimonies has made me see what it really means to be belong to Jesus, to say ‘Lord here I am, send me’. Matthew 5:16. In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in Heaven. Spending time with these brothers and sisters in Christ has ignited something inside of me, that I want to pursue the purpose and plan God has for ...

Newsletter of Hope - Staying Focused

  STAYING FOCUSED  I was away 6 days just recently in Scotland.  We went over to attend a Seminar.  When we arrived we decided to walk to the building that the meetings would be held in to give us a guide to how long it would take us to walk in the mornings to arrive on time and also to check out the area and buy some food for meals for our stay at the apartment that we were staying in. The walk involved walking through a forest park that was close to were we were staying. It was a beautiful place.  On the way a beautiful dog came our way off the lead, my attention went to this dog and how lovely its eyes were.  The next thing I know I am on the ground.  I had went down a hole in the ground and went over on my ankle.  My knee on the left was bleeding and bruised and my right foot ankle was sore.   My initial THOUGHTS were ‘Oh no, I’m going to have to go to the hospital and get this checked out, I saw me walking with crutches etc and the da...

Newsletter of Hope - Obedience - what does that look like?

  Obedience - what does that look like? Obedience means - compliance with a command.  Obedience may be voluntary or involuntary.  Voluntary obedience alone can be acceptable to God. Abstaining from what is prohibited.  These are a few things that I came across when looking up what Obedience means. Over this last while Holy Spirit has been working with me on my obedience to Him. Obeying His promptings as He shows me and not putting other things first.   When I was out posting the last Newsletter through the doors of my street, I looked down an alleyway and saw a person sitting on the ground.  Instantly, I thought to go and chat to this person to see if they were okay.  Instead of doing that I finished posting the last 3 Newsletters through the doors as that was the last three houses I had to do to finish the job.  When I walked back to the lane that person was gone.  This really caused me to see that I put finishing that job first before b...

Newsletter of Hope - My people perish for the lack of knowledge

  My people perish for the lack of knowledge   When we believe something or have been trained and taught in some way it can be difficult to change that thinking.  People can talk to you until they are blue in the face and still you continue to believe what you believed before. What has been instilled into you.  Your mindset about something. How do we change if something we are doing or thinking is not a benefit to us yet we still continue to do it? Hosea 4:6 My people are destroyed for the lack of knowledge, because thou hast rejected  knowledge …. Notice in Hosea 4:6 it says they reject knowledge, so are rejecting the Word of God! When I was a young believer I was struggling with fear in my life.  I had had prayer and knew I had been set free from that hold, yet I was still experiencing those feelings and emotions associated with fear.  At that time I wanted the Lord to take it all away, for I hated fear, I hated feeling weak and not being able to do...
