We are living on a young earth


'Billions' of years old eh? - Click this title or: go to http://www.creationminute.com/
A huge amount of evidence points towards a young Earth of less than 10,000 years. Surely in the modern days we live we would KNOW the facts? With all the 'science' and technology, it is incredible that it is not generally known that the Earth is indeed young. But it is the same as people not knowing Jesus. They look the other way and are prevented from knowing the truth. Just think, if Genesis is true (and it is), that provides us with the very foundation of true Faith. The word is God. Jesus is divine. The tri-une God: Father, Son, Holy Spirit. Once you surrender to the truth, repent of your sins, and ask for the veil to be lifted, it ALL becomes clear. And the glorious truth comes flooding in each day, as we loose more and more to self and gain more and more of Him.
Prayer: Oh Lord let me rest in you for safety from these dark days we live in. Satan may have dominion over this world (you can find this in the bible too!), but we can be assured of you for our protection. Lord, you are my light and salvation - from whom shall I fear: you protect me from danger. let me be guided by YOUR light. Thank you Lord, what a joy to know this! Thank you, I delight in your word. I wait for Him. Crystal clear knowledge - I pray you realise understand too. You can choose to! Amen. (Remember - Click the title or go to the link above!)
Psalm 27 (New International Version)

Psalm 27
Of David.
1 The LORD is my light and my salvation—
whom shall I fear?
The LORD is the stronghold of my life—
of whom shall I be afraid?
2 When evil men advance against me
to devour my flesh, [a]
when my enemies and my foes attack me,
they will stumble and fall.

3 Though an army besiege me,
my heart will not fear;
though war break out against me,
even then will I be confident.

4 One thing I ask of the LORD,
this is what I seek:
that I may dwell in the house of the LORD
all the days of my life,
to gaze upon the beauty of the LORD
and to seek him in his temple.

5 For in the day of trouble
he will keep me safe in his dwelling;
he will hide me in the shelter of his tabernacle
and set me high upon a rock.

6 Then my head will be exalted
above the enemies who surround me;
at his tabernacle will I sacrifice with shouts of joy;
I will sing and make music to the LORD.

7 Hear my voice when I call, O LORD;
be merciful to me and answer me.

8 My heart says of you, "Seek his [b] face!"
Your face, LORD, I will seek.

9 Do not hide your face from me,
do not turn your servant away in anger;
you have been my helper.
Do not reject me or forsake me,
O God my Savior.

10 Though my father and mother forsake me,
the LORD will receive me.

11 Teach me your way, O LORD;
lead me in a straight path
because of my oppressors.

12 Do not turn me over to the desire of my foes,
for false witnesses rise up against me,
breathing out violence.

13 I am still confident of this:
I will see the goodness of the LORD
in the land of the living.

14 Wait for the LORD;
be strong and take heart
and wait for the LORD.
Also, on the veil - but just google it! Matt 27:51 "Then, behold, the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom; and the earth quaked, and the rocks were split. "

Thought for the day and praying for our Government


A 'thought for the day' has taught me that even Angels are learning and the Word teaches about all things. I have often wondered how we should pray about our Government and the people in politics. From Romans 13 We learn that we must Respect governors of the day. In 1 Peter 2 we learn we should honour them - WHERE DUE.. and in 1 Timothy 2 we should pray for them.
And no where in the Bible, does it teach us that we should TRUST the government - even after the promises we have heard that they will clean up their act after the expenses affair...
Romans 13
Submission to the Authorities
1Everyone must submit himself to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God. 2Consequently, he who rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves. 3For rulers hold no terror for those who do right, but for those who do wrong. Do you want to be free from fear of the one in authority? Then do what is right and he will commend you. 4For he is God's servant to do you good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword for nothing. He is God's servant, an agent of wrath to bring punishment on the wrongdoer. 5Therefore, it is necessary to submit to the authorities, not only because of possible punishment but also because of conscience. 6This is also why you pay taxes, for the authorities are God's servants, who give their full time to governing. 7Give everyone what you owe him: If you owe taxes, pay taxes; if revenue, then revenue; if respect, then respect; if honor, then honor.
1 Peter 2
Submission to Rulers and Masters
13Submit yourselves for the Lord's sake to every authority instituted among men: whether to the king, as the supreme authority, 14or to governors, who are sent by him to punish those who do wrong and to commend those who do right. 15For it is God's will that by doing good you should silence the ignorant talk of foolish men. 16Live as free men, but do not use your freedom as a cover-up for evil; live as servants of God. 17Show proper respect to everyone: Love the brotherhood of believers, fear God, honor the king.
18Slaves, submit yourselves to your masters with all respect, not only to those who are good and considerate, but also to those who are harsh. 19For it is commendable if a man bears up under the pain of unjust suffering because he is conscious of God. 20But how is it to your credit if you receive a beating for doing wrong and endure it? But if you suffer for doing good and you endure it, this is commendable before God. 21To this you were called, because Christ suffered for you, leaving you an example, that you should follow in his steps.
22"He committed no sin,
and no deceit was found in his mouth."[e] 23When they hurled their insults at him, he did not retaliate; when he suffered, he made no threats. Instead, he entrusted himself to him who judges justly. 24He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; by his wounds you have been healed. 25For you were like sheep going astray, but now you have returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls.
Instructions on Worship
1 Timothy 2
1I urge, then, first of all, that requests, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for everyone— 2for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. 3This is good, and pleases God our Savior, 4who wants all men to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth. 5For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, 6who gave himself as a ransom for all men—the testimony given in its proper time. 7And for this purpose I was appointed a herald and an apostle—I am telling the truth, I am not lying—and a teacher of the true faith to the Gentiles.
8I want men everywhere to lift up holy hands in prayer, without anger or disputing.

Robert and Rosemary Mcauley




Wow - We were priviledged to hear Robert and Rosemary's testimonies last weekend (6th Feb) at the Rhema Mission Church, Rode Heath. There are six parts - start at part 1 by clinking the title above and you will easily find the remainder parts listed on the right on the Youtube pages.

Rosemary and Robert were farmers and lived in the midst of the Northern Ireland 'troubles' in the 80s and 90s. They have a daughter who was expected to not live beyond birth due to a host of medical complications, but all these fears were disolved... the daughter is carrying out a normal life. I'm not going to tell you too much as this deserves being listened to by Rosemary herself on the link - click the title above!

Isaiah 55 v 11

So is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it."
