"JESUS WOULD 'HAPPEN'!


PASTOR ...
What would happen if you were no longer the "set man", but if you allowed the Holy Spirit to have the place of leading? What would happen if the meetings no longer revolved around you, and if you were no longer the central figure around which every meeting convened?
What would happen if you offered yourself as a vehicle for the Holy Spirit to equip others to grow into becoming 'leaders' also? What if you willingly relinquished your position as the leader to allow the focus to fully fall on the Holy Spirit and allow Him to use you to raise up an authentic church fully equipped to be able to go out and fulfill God's heart and destiny in the lives of others? What if "church" was more than about getting together to hear you speak and lead services? What if you led people to gather around and to focus on Jesus only, to learn to hear Him speak to them individually and to learn to yield and to flow with His Spirit as He led the meetings?
What if the whole 'control' thing disappeared and everyone just came together as being one in the Lord, and if you allowed God to use you in such a capacity, where the imparted Gifts of the Spirit could flow and operate as He willed to make room for you and your ministry, rather than people simply having to accept you as being the "leader", and rather than your title or 'rights' giving you the 'authority' to speak "over" them as being in a position of hierarchy?
What if you would relinquish the whole religious order and system of how things are done, and simply would begin to gather informally, allowing Jesus to have His way and to lead as He willed and as the Spirit directed? What if you allowed Him to speak in the moment, rather than preparing your own 'sermons'?
What would happen if you would humble yourself to become servant rather than "leader"?
JESUS WOULD 'HAPPEN'!

The Process of Change is a Messy Business! A surgeon's operating table may be sterile, but it is certainly never clean! At best it is "messy"! A place where he performs open surgery to save and rescue his patients.  A potter's wheel is never clean either, it is covered in clay and so is the potter's hands in pressing against the item he is fashioning. When it comes to our lives - being changed and  formed, corrected and even rescued, is also never a pretty sight either. We sometimes find ourselves on God's operating table from time to time also, where He performs the much needed changes in us that will cause us to grow into greater dimensions of His Glory. The tools - circumstances, people and conditions He uses are many times "messy" and cause us to look and feel "messy" also. The end result in allowing Him to complete His surgery in us however, always produces something beautiful at the end. If things seem a little messy

The Sweet Fragrance of Fruit - PERSONAL ARTICLE

The Sweet Fragrance of Fruit A number of years ago the Lord drew me out of the ministry that He had called me into. I had been functioning in this ministry for the better part of twenty-five years and it had developed into a very unique, very dynamic and very Powerful ministry in the Holy Spirit, that resulted in the lives of thousands in South Africa and also in South America to be touched and forever changed. The ministry was earmarked by the tangible and overwhelming Presence of the Lord, in Living manifestation in our midst, the baptism of Fire, supernatural healing, miracles and deliverance, and a strong Word ministry as the Spirit would speak the Word in living utterance. It took the better part of twenty years for the Lord to develop our ministry to the point where His Presence was so real that it could many times be seen with the naked eye in the form of a cloud or a mist that would cover the entire place where we were gathered. It als

The Light of men - ARTICLE

The Light of men The Inner-Vision of the Spirit “ In Him was Life, and the Life was the Light of men.” – John 1:9 2 Corinthians 5:7 certainly is one of the most often quoted and loved portions of Scriptures by believers around the world. It reads – “ For we walk by faith and not by sight” One of the things most however do not know or immediately recognize, is the fact that what the Holy Spirit is saying through Paul, is not what most people assume it to be. Most reading this understand from the text that it is implied that, as opposed to being able to see in the natural, faith is blind, and walks by trusting itself to an unknown future in the hope of the goodness of a known God. Have you heard the phrase – “Never be scared to commit an unknown future into the hands of a known God”? Although this may have a noble and pleasing sound to the ear and a soothing effect upon the soul, and although well intended, and possibly applicable in some insistences
