“For I know the plans I have for you,” Declares the Lord, “Plans to prosper you and not to harm you, Plans to give you Hope and a Future.”

Jeremiah 29:11

So tommorow is good friday let it not just roll past like another day but instead remember Jesus did it for you!

Luke 24 Vs 44-48

‘By this time it was noon, and darkness fell across the whole land until three o’clock. The light from the sun was gone. And suddenly, the curtain in the sanctuary of the temple was torn down the middle. Then Jesus shouted, “Father, I entrust my spirit into your hands!” And with those words he breathed his last. When the Roman officer overseeing the execution saw what had happened, he worshiped God and said, “Surely this man was innocent” And when the crowd that came to see the crucifixion saw what had happened, they went home in deep sorrow’

As a world I don’t think were taught well how to handle life when the bumps come along! But no where in the bible does it once say we will have it easy, Why? God knew we would have tough times, and yet so many Christians walk away when God doesn’t take them out of there bad situation!  So as Easter is nearly upon us lets look at the Easter story from the beginning, Jesus knew His time was coming, He was going to die to bring glory to God and to save me and you from death! Jesus knew he would be crucified and that what was about to happen was brutal! He was God on earth but He was still a man and He was going to feel every nail, thorn, spear, attack. In the book of Mark we can see His pain but also be gob smacked that even in His fear and agony He still said to God let your will be done.

‘Abba, Father,’ he cried out,‘everything is possible for you, please take this cup of suffering away from me. Yet I want your will to be done, not mine.’ Mark 14 Vs 36

In the face of trouble He prayed let Gods will be done, I truly believe that if we start to change the way we pray, from God get me out of here to God get me through this and your will be done. We will grow in God and how to handle what is thrown at us! Lets change our prayers to day so we can stand together the army of God against anything and say LET GODS WILL BE DONE!

I have the priviledge to run this ministry but i also work in a coffee shop, i make coffees and clean and do a ministry? My little cafe job is actually a huge blessing to me it gives me some money and it keeps me humbled! Jesus was a carpenter before he started his ministry, some used this against Him but i find that beautiful because it makes my best friend Jesus real! He served working for His father and then served through ministry. There are some out there who run ‘ministries’ to become famous and rich, does that mean someone should’nt be well known or have good things NO WAY I love the ministry of Joyce Meyer and many others and they have worked hard for what they have. Its about the attitude we have towards that stuff, if God said give it up tommorow and they can awesome, God must be first. So why am i telling you all this! To show im real, i simply have a fab job for God and even in the coffee shop im serving God!

Thanks for all your comments and may I say if anyone ever reads from this blog and wants prayer don’t hesitate to ask. Prayer does work! So be blessed guys and lets keep God at number one in our lives whatever and wherever we are!

‘ I am the light of the world. If you follow me, you won’t have to walk in darkness, because you will have the light that leads to life’

John 8 Vs 12

 A big statement then and a big statement today. Back then it led to Jesus being crucified on a cross, his crime absolutely nothing! Today so many find it hard to believe that Jesus is still the light of this world. Why? well you just have to look at the news to see the darkness of this world. The past few weeks haven’t seemed real with earthquakes, tsunami’s, fighting and blood shed all over the news and then you hear Jesus is light of the world that’s really hard to hear! I believe Jesus is the light of the world but i do understand why it is so hard to see! So lets switch the light on shall we? The world has gone into turmoil and so much is happening and some would say these are dark days, so if the world is getting darker then Jesus must get brighter and that means us who believe, your church, home group, university group etc. We carry the light of Jesus Christ, i often see us all as lighthouses and it is living in this light and being an example like Jesus did that makes us shine so bright. So many think its when we go and shout on the streets about hell and condemn others, I don’t believe this is the right way! Jesus was different he showed compassion and love then and He does now! So we who carry this light of Jesus Christ should show the same compassion and love that Jesus did. This might be being there for someone, working hard at your job (being an example) seeing a need and helping someone or a family. Its about being that light for others when all they can see is the darkness, and the only way we can do that is too have Jesus in our hearts. So this week let us all go out and be light houses for God!

ITs a bit like being in a bike race and instead of looking at where i was pedalling to i look to my right and to my left….CRASH! So lets fix our eyes on Jesus and the path He is leading us as individuals down, our unique and wonderfully made path!!!

Psalm 139 is the bible reading this week! One of my favirote psalms read it and soak up how special you are to God!

When God inspired me with this minsitry i was coming through a really hard time and God gave me this vision of a minsitry that used drama not necessarily to do ‘shows’ but to stir up the need for healing in peoples lives from the stuff we all carry emotional and spiritual baggage! WOW big vision can i do this, NO but God can if i allow him and he captured my hear with this vision to see thousands set free for Jesus Christ! Now recently God grew my vision and the next step is for me to move to Ireland and work around Ireland with this minsitry! Why???? so many say its Gods vision for my life the bigger picture and he has captured my heart with it! He is the only one that can move me to Ireland so in His hands it is but i have been inspired and am working towards this vision of Ireland!

In Nehemiah in the bible, Nehemiah is inspired by God with a vision to re-build the wall of Jerusalem! The city was in ruin and the walls torn down yet he had a vision and was inspired to rebuild the walls! Something again that seemed impossible and dangerous but then we see in verse 2 chapter 17 and 18 he tells others and inpires them with his God given vision and so the rebuilding begins!

So today i have shared my vision to you, not to brag, not to seek help but for you to become inspired and to find your own vision from God in your life! Today be inspired and find your vision!!

God bless you wherever you are in this world!

Be blessed guys this your moment with God!

Our Father in heaven, may your name be honored. May your Kingdom come soon. May your will be done here on earth, just as it is in heaven. Give us our food for today, and forgive us our sins, just as we have forgiven those who have sinned against us. And don’t let us yield to temptation, but deliver us from the evil one,For thine is the kingdom the power and the glory forever and ever. Amen

Forgiveness

‘He has removed our sins as far from us as the east is from the west’  -psalm 103:12

‘Jesus said, ” If you forgive others when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.” Matthew 6:14

‘Jesus said, “If the son sets you free, you will be free indeed.” -John 8:36

‘Jesus said, “Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy” - Matthew 5:7

Be blessed guys!

As a child in sunday school i was taught a song about the wise man who built his house upon a rock and the unwise who built his house on some sand, and thats exactly what God was saying to me do you want to build your life on My truth and go my way (which is the rock) or do you want to build your life on sand everything the world offers us and will eventually come crashing down. Well i chose God and my foundations started to come together again and get stronger in Jesus! Now this is me just saying this it is really your choice as God loves us so much he gives us a choice!

Bible verse Luke 6 Vs 47-49

‘I will show you what it’s like when someone comes to me, listens to my teaching, and then follows it. It is like a person building a house who digs deep and lays the foundation on solid rock. When the floodwaters rise and break against that house, it stands firm because it is well built. But anyone who hears and doesnt obey is like a person who builds a house without foundation. When the floods sweep down against that house, it will collapse into a heap of ruins’.
