An elderly friend recently bought a new car and took it on a 200km trip which included some motorway driving. She later confessed to me that she still hadn’t got the car into 5th Gear!Sunday at the Park Hotel, Thessaloniki, I, DW, spoke about shifting up a gear and how I believe there are 3 key elements to allowing the Lord to release our stress levels and yet increase our spiritual effectiveness.
- Crucify the flesh – Jesus crucified his – we crucify ours – daily
- Embrace the cross – Jesus Did – likewise we are to be crucified with him so that Christ lives in us…Gal 2:20
- Allow the power that raised Christ from the dead to be at work in our mortal bodies. Romans 8:11
As chosen people we live in a different way – we are to live as Jesus lived….as a spiritual man, and then just like Jesus, we can ask the Father for anything. We be must like Jesus.
A Greek friend joined us last night to lead the worship with Rachel & David. The presence of the Lord was rich and I saw a river flowing from the Lord. This river would flow in the region and we could join the flow by embracing the points above - interestingly, this morning there is torrential rain in Thessaloniki and a river is flowing down our street!
This week...
- Tuesday is a day of prayer & fasting
- Dave & Lynn will travel to Bulgaria to join the church in Sofia for a leaders forum.
