AM – Impart Life not Death

Proverbs 18:21 (NKJV)

Death and life are in the power of the tongue, And those who love it will eat its fruit.

This week Ps Kaye talks about how it's not the external things that we need to be concerned with. It's the words that come from our heart because we can trace what's in our heart by what comes out of our mouth. However, as Christians, the Holy Spirit empowers us to impart words that change the atmosphere in our homes and everywhere we go.

Furthermore, Ps Kaye teaches how God has also given us spiritual gifts of knowledge and prophecy to encourage others, especially those who don’t yet believe. We finished the services with two prophetic activations (the recording of these activations start at 24min). Try this one now:

1. Go somewhere quiet with paper and a pen.

2. Ask the Lord to give you an encouraging word and/or Scripture for someone - don’t ask who it is yet.

3. Write it down.

4. Now ask the Lord who He wants you to give the word to.

5. Go give it to them and ask if it means anything to them - don’t be afraid if they say “No.” We learn from trying over and over until we begin to hear the Lord clearly. But most likely they’ll say “Yes, it does.”

AM – The Carpenter Is Fashioning You Into Something Beautiful

In this much needed message after the New Zealand national elections, guest speakers Ps Michael Dissanayeke and Ps. Debbie Dissanayeke encouraged us that Jesus the Carpenter is fashioning each of us into something beautiful.

Ps. Debbie started with a word from the Lord:

• “Look at the word of God. Look for the handprint of God. Don't be distracted by the reflection of the past. Look to the future.”

Ps. Michael followed on by preaching from the Book of Luke.

Luke 4:21 ‘He began by saying to them, “Today this scripture is fulfilled in your hearing.”’

Today, each of us need to allow the Holy Spirit to begin fulfilling the things that God says about us. Today, we each need to look at the mirror of the Word and believe what God says about us. God's word is His plan for what He is creating for you and in you. Today is the last day of your past and the first day of your future.

Ps. Michael finishes with prophetic words for people who have lost their jobs and for someone who has lost the will to live.

AM - How to Handle the Unexpected In 2020

Receiving Strength, Courage & Bravery From God

Life can throw curve balls with respect to our hopes, dreams and plans. 2019 was difficult for many.

Ps Rob helps us to receive strength, courage and bravery from God for 2020. He uses Joshua’s loss of his leader Moses and his concern over what might happen after crossing the boarder into Canaan to prepare our hearts to handle the unexpected in 2020.

Key passage: Joshua 1:1-9

ALSO: The final few minutes of the recording contain the communion message. Grab some bread and juice and take a few minutes to finish (or start) the decade spending time sharing some heart-felt affection with your precious Saviour Jesus.

Luke 22:19 And he took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, “This is my body given for you; do this in remembrance of me.”
