Two types of People

At once Jesus realised in Himself that power had gone out from Him. He turned around in the crowd and said, "who touched Me?"
His disciples said to Him, "You see the crowd pressing against You, and You say, "Who touched Me?"
So He was looking around to see who had done this. Then the woman, knowing what had happened to her, came with fear and trembling, fell down before Him, and told Him the whole truth. "Daughter," He said to her, "your faith has made you well. Go in peace and be free from your affliction." Mark 5:30-34

We see two groups of people here: the mass or the crowd wanting to touch Jesus. They were the fan club; then there was a desperate woman needing a miracle. She had said to herself, "if I can just touch the hem of His garment, I will be well." This woman had faith.

Anywhere we go we see these two groups of people: the spectators and the engaged. The spectators did not seek much, just a spectacle, yet the engaged were desperately in need, they engaged their faith.

Yesterday I heard an excellent message about the Blood of Christ. Simply done but powerfully presented. I came away with a deposit and went back at night for more. I received a garnet of truth, that is all I needed. This morning I was awake early praying and when I sat down at work the Lord dropped a God idea into my Spirit. Oh! How I love those!

I acted on the idea because last night the garnet of truth involved such a moment. I was ready. I prayed for the Lord to give me a dream. It wasn't quite like I expected but it is a dream. A dream to bring many into a project to fund the kingdom.

And when I had finished contacting all I needed for that project, there was another. I love this! I acted again. Now I have two funding projects under way. One for the Kingdom and one for Tamworth. I suspect the second will lead souls to the kingdom. The second involves the skate park opposite my office. I want to bring life to that place. I want a toilet facility there for the little people and the grey nomads who park alongside. I pick up trash in the park every work day and as I collect I pray the blood of Jesus all over it, I want souls, lots of souls.

I have invited my church to partner with me to reach the skaters. Oh! Souls Lord! Amen!

Everyone who heard the same messages had the same opportunity. I wonder what God ideas are being birthed. Let us see!

Who Rules?

The princes of Judah are like those who move boundary markers, I will pout out my fury on them like water. Hosea 5:10 World leaders of church and state are now all highly visible. When they are not open to consultation or do not listen they make judgements that are judged as foolish by both God and man. In Australia we just celebrated Australia Day and at this time various people are honoured for their contribution to society. Our Prime Minister, Mr Abbott, without consultation, conferred a knighthood on the Queen of England's husband, Phillip. Almost to a person, Australians judged this to be foolish. Even supporters have now distanced themselves. Imagine what it is like when church leaders follow their own emotions or the emotions of their people and change what is acceptable to God. For example, no longer considering adultery something that precludes a man from ministry. We might think we are clever, but actually going with a sinful flow. Where is God in all this? My emotions ar...

Know Your Sword!

So he took Him to Jerusalem, had Him stand on the pinnacle of the temple, and said to Him, "if you are the Son of God, throw Yourself down from here. For it is written: 'He will give His angels orders concerning You, to protect you, they will support You with their hands, so that you will not strike Your foot against a stone.' And Jesus answered him, "it is said: 'do not test The Lord your God." And the Devil had finished every temptation, he departed from Him for a time. Luke 4:9-11 In this third test Satan quoted scripture but Jesus knew His scripture and was not going to be deceived by his enemy twisting the truth. I am amazed at what Satan tempted Jesus with. He did not know Christ. He had succeeded in tempting the first Adam yet he was thwarted in this attempt. Jesus had lived 30 years and been tutored in godliness with contentment, he was prepared, baptised in the Spirit and sold out to the Father's purpose. Every time our enemy comes against us we ...

Little Things Grow

The boy's mother said to Elisha, "as The Lord lives and you yourself live, I will not leave you. So he got up and followed her. 2 Kings 4:30 The Shunamite woman had travelled to Mt Carmel to find Elisha after the death of her son. Although Elisha had sent his servant Gehazi to the boy with his staff the woman had come to find Elisha and was not leaving without him. I like this lady's spirit. I am sure The Lord God Almighty also valued her heart. She had a heart for God and made room for Him in her world. Now, having lost her son she knew what to do: find Elisha and not let him go until he came to restore her son. What made the Shunamite woman believe that Elisha could raise her son? Was it the same faith that made her provide him a place to stay in her home? I believe it was God working in her life. I am grateful for her faith, I can read and be encouraged. We do not know her name yet her story lives in scripture. What a little thing it was to feed Elisha and then provide ...
