A Spiritual Explosion

As Peter was travelling from place to place, he also came down to the saints who live in Lydda. There he found a man named Aeneas, who was paralysed and had been bedridden for eight years. Peter said to him, "Aeneas, Jesus Chrsit heals you. Get up and make your bed, and immediately he got up. So all who lived in Lydda and Sharon saw him and turned to the Lord. Acts 9:32-35

Peter is on fire! The saints in Joppa are on fire! And soon too Aeneas will be on fire. The fact that there were 'saints' already in Lydda could be because some of he disciples went there after the persecution in Jerusalem or they could have been ministered to by Phillip.

It is good to see Peter travelling form place to place. It would have been easy to set up camp in Jerusalem and not go anywhere else.

Have you noticed how God heals spectacularly and opens hearts to the gospels. Healing is a door-opener. I want this. I am praying that the Lord will use me in this way. I have prayed for my mother many times and seen her healed, other Christians and seen them healed, but not for a non-believer who was paralysed. I want to be used like this, I want the gospel to be heard by open ears. Amen!

Prepare the way Lord, open the doors!

There are ways God uses us to break hardened hearts and we are unaware as well. Today whilst traversing the skate park to my office, I stopped to collect a few bits of rubbish and a young couple were there. The husband said to me, "I have a friend and we bring our kids down here every Saturday, we thought we may as well bring our brooms and tidy up a bit." I thanked him, and whispered to the Lorx, "You did this!" I sensed His smile. I know there is a lot of traffic passing me every day when I pick up trash. While I pick up I pray the blood of Christ onto the park and the tossers and ask for a harvest of souls to come out of this park. Salvation is on that park, the Spirit of God is moving on that park, all because this little Chickie dares to humble herself, collect trash and pray. 

I want fire Lord! Amen!

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 ...
