Power To Rejuvenate

"They will be my people and I will be their God.
And I will give them one heart and one purpose:to worship me forever, for their own good and for the good of all their descendants."Jeremiah 32:38, 39 (NLT)

My Grandmother had a saying: “Living can be a hard business.” It certainly is right now for many of us. Life can bring us down low, rob us of confidence, patience and perspective.

God hides amazing ‘spirit fillers’  around us that are new every morning; in His creation, in His word, in prayer, in an acts of service.

The restorative power of music is one of my ‘spirit fillers'. Music ‘restores the soul’ in a way our hearts connect with and respond to.

Music has the power to elevate, speak, soothe, teach, touch, unify, energise, heal and fill us with joy.

Today make music, listen to music and give voice to the praise and worship of our praise worthy God!

As we lift our worship, we too will be filled and lifted , that’s the promise of praise.

Prayer:
Lord teach us how to worship you in the beauty of holiness so that we may be ones that bow our hearts before you in spirit and truth, to your honour and glory.
Amen.

Breakfast On The Beach (Penny Cox)

"When they landed, they saw a fire of burning coals there with fish on it, and some bread” John 21:9(NLT) I don’t know about you, but when I’m confused or stressed, I often revert to doing something familiar. It comforts me, and makes me feel secure. Perhaps that is why the disciples decide to go fishing at this time. Maybe they were feeling stressed and want the comfort of familiarity. Or maybe they were hungry, or needed the money. Or simply didn’t know what to do with themselves without Jesus’ physical presence. Whatever the reason, despite their best efforts, the fishing trip was unsuccessful until Jesus appeared on the shore, and intervened with a miracle that saw the disciples’ nets filled to capacity. The part of this account that I find so encouraging is that Jesus not only turned up to help the disciples when they had failed to catch any fish, but that he also made breakfast for them. Jesus shows us that he knew exactly what his friends needed; they needed his reas

Be Alert (Liz Morris)

" And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people." Ephesians 6:18 I love the inference that to pray is to be alert. As Paul draws to the end of his letter to the Ephesians, he reminds them of the importance to keep on praying at all times, in many different ways in the Spirit. Prayer is such an integral part of growing in our faith and seeing His kingdom come in our lives, our community and our world. It helps our earthly minds come to know our Heavenly Father and see His plans and purposes unfold. I love the fact that Paul goes on to put in a personal prayer request in the next verse and I am sure that the church in Ephesus often prayed for him along with many of the Christians from the other churches. I am sure too, that the alertness of all the early Christians to pray was essential in the success of the ministry of all the Apostles and the advancement of the g

Jesus and the strong man (Nico Marais)

As Jesus was getting into the boat, the man who had been demon-possessed begged to go with him. Jesus did not let him, but said, “Go home to your own people and tell them how much the Lord has done for you, and how he has had mercy on you.” So the man went away and began to tell in the Decapolis[a] how much Jesus had done for him. And all the people were amazed. Mark 5:18-20 What precedes today’s passage is the well-known story of Jesus sending the demons from this man into a herd (or litter, depending on who you ask) of pigs that ultimately drown themselves.  The Bible says this man was so strong that chains could not hold him.  When he is set free from his demonic bondage he begs Jesus to come with Him.  Jesus says no and sends him back to his family, friends and his own people to share what Jesus has done for him. This is exactly what Jesus asks each of us to do as well.  We can’t really share Christ’s peace, mercy, hope, power and love via proxy.  We have to encounter it for oursel
