Greetings
from Matt & Karen

Have I told you lately that Karen and I love you?…. No…. well we love you and cherish each and every one of you – you are truly a remarkable church.
Can you feel the freedom growing? I can sense a new anointing coming onto His church. Here are a few thoughts growing from my fasting devotions.
1. I’m yet to meet a woman who counted her contractions during childbirth despite the fact that each was unique and increasingly more painful. Instead, every mum can (with passion) tell you the details of the weight, length, hair colour and facial expressions of their new gifts. As in the natural so too in spiritual growth. Birthing is painful, so lets stop counting the contractions of the birth process and focus on the “Promise”. Lets contemplate the “Prize” not the pain. Don’t give up- Jesus is bringing something new and wonderful into all our lives and through us, to our whole community.
2. Forgive me Father for desiring your breakthrough, growth and healing as a sign of vindication instead of truly desiring your heart and freedom for the lost and oppressed. I have so far to go – but you call me upwards into your heart – I will confess, repent, obey and love you Papa. (I confess – that one hurt a bit)
3. God is intimately concern with our internal spiritual growth and capacity for loving Him and His people. Rather than changing our external circumstances, He in fact uses the external storms to growth internal strength.
4. We are called to be territory takers. It must start within us first with a heart shaped through intimacy with Jesus. Before we start taking ground from the enemy in our land – we must evict him from our own hearts, childish ways, desires and responses.
Sunday 26th is a Testimony morning, so get ready and get prepared, but start sharing His Rhema word now. Facebook, Twitter, put it in a card – share the truth and see life burst forth.
See you Sunday
All our love

Testimony Sunday
26th February is a Testimony morning.
Please note – testimony, not teaching! No directional or correctional words. We want to know what Jesus has spoken to you and done through you.
If we want the presence of God we have to practice it. We know that demons tremble at the power of our testimony – Revelation 12:11 They triumphed over him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony; they did not love their lives so much as to shrink from death.
