What an awesome day we all had on Sunday 3rd July 2011.
After a great servive and time of connection at a pot luck lunch, We all moved to the Ngawhatu pool.
19 people including Kerry (my husband) and myself (Lesley) were baptised. Our families came along too.
The church had fun in the pool afterwards.
The pressence of God could be felt and I know much Celebration in the heavenly realms took place that day!!!
John 8:31-32 &36
Jesus said, “If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples.
Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”
So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed."
Romans 10:9
Because, if you confess with your mouth that "Jesus is Lord" and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, You will be saved."
I'm really connecting with this song at the moment.
"Blessings" by Laura Story is really beautiful and the lyrics are really so true.
It relates to all of us, as we all have a story and journey we are on.
The trials and tribulations we go through in life can lead us, If we let them, to a greater place of Understanding, Love, Joy and Thankfulness for the Blessings in our lives.
In recent times, things have seemed so hard for me and my family, in so many areas.
I can testify that when I got things right with God and I let God take the burdens I was carrying, of hurt and pain, from me and let him draw me closer, my life began to change in amazing ways.
God can Heal; Restore, that which is broken; Soften, hearts; Encourage and Teach us, how to love wholely and completly.
All Blessings come through God, if he is willing and in His timing. He knows what is best for us!
We do not need to know the plans God has for us, that is for him to know.
We just need to have Faith and Trust in God!
He declares to prosper us and not harm us, plans to give us hope and a future. So when we seek him with all our heart, we will find him and he will bring us back out of exile, and draw us closer to him.
God keeps his promises!
So push harder into Gods word and let him minister to you and allow your faith to grow.
No matter how broken, hurt, sad, or happy and thankful you are.
He hears us, listens and administers to our needs.
THANK GOD FOR WHAT YOU HAVE,
ASK GOD FOR WHAT YOU NEED.
For with God all things are possible!
Glory be to God always!
Jeremiah 29:11-14
For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. 12 Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. 13 You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. 14 I will be found by you,” declares the LORD, “and will bring you back from captivity.[a] I will gather you from all the nations and places where I have banished you,” declares the LORD, “and will bring you back to the place from which I carried you into exile.”
Matthew 19:26
Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”
