The Spirit Intercedes for us!

In the same way the Spirit also joins to help in our weaknesses, because we do not know what to pray for as we should, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with unspoken groanings. And He who searches the hearts knows the Spirit's mindset, because He intercedes for the saints according to the will of God. Romans 8:26,27

If we want a sympathetic God we have it, if we want s just and caring God we have it. We have been given a Holy Spirit to indwell us, a Spirit who intercedes for us with unspoken groanings. Now, in my mind, unspoken groanings speak to me of intense concern and love. What love is this? How good is this?

I am watching my God go before me and do amazing things. Last week I was told that a key staff member wanted to leave and create his own business. This meant I was back to selling my own business and winding it up. I gave notice to the landlord and within days a new tenant came who wanted all my furniture, my telephone system, my computers, my internet and he offered me a job. Today this man inquired about what my business would be worth to buy. I am not, not going to do a thing except stand still and trust God in this space, whilst I continue to run my business as if nothing was happening. It is a weird sensation.

On another front I am planning a trip to Nepal, I will be gone a month and after doing a trek am a part of a reconstruction team in an area devastated by last year's earthquake. A band of untrained volunteers have to build a house. God has gone before us and showed us a very easy construction that I know we can handle. We only discovered the design last Sunday when visiting supporters of Nepal and there happened to be a couple there who ran a school in Nepal  and they were talking and as a part of their presentation was a building design.

I sense I am surrounded by a swirling presence of God and as I rest in it, I see His goodness and blessing.

What fun I am having. Now I have to relearn riding a trail bike, I still have my licence but have not ridden one for over 10 years. Fun!

Rest in God and allow Him to be GOD! 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 ...
