Greetings to you all.
I thank the Dear Lord again for allowing another missionary journey, Easter walking the cross and attending the two shows Chale and Wolverton. Also including the nights on the street with the Godpod such a great blessing. A mixed season weather wise, sun one minute then black clouds, then a ray of sun would break through. I then had a thought, it’s what we’re like, a little bunch of light bearers, bringing rays of Son light into the lives of people, that the Son of righteousness may shine in their heart.
It will dispel the darkness of indifference, evil, wickedness, greed, lack of gratitude and discontent.
Prov 12v25 (NKJV) “Anxiety in the heart of man causes depression, But a good word makes glad” The dear Lord gives us all things to enjoy, He upholds, sustains and gives us breath every day, including our daily bread. For He is the bread of life, living water, light, and clothes us. He suffered in our place.
So let us thank Him for all things, how we think so we are!
” Jesus said I have come that you may have life” Not just existing in a fallen fractured world.
Rejoice in what you have!
Thank you all and every blessing Mick
Prayer
Wherever we are, we as Gods people are united in a common bond when calling on the Lord about our world, nation and communities. We don’t know what to say sometimes (Romans 8:26), the problems around us are complex and we can see the pain in the world, but we know He hears us, loves us and he knows what is best. He is a loving Father, faithful Lord and we can speak to Him anytime and anywhere.
The problems in society, local and internationally can seem insurmountable and people can seem so far away from God that we can possibly feel there is no way through. Do we believe that God is in control and His purpose cannot be outwitted and stalled? Do we see in the eyes of prayer that He holds the nations in His hand? – Isaiah 40: 22-26; Job 38 and 39.
Think about walking around a city full of skyscrapers and you look around and everything is so big with buildings surrounding you reaching up into the sky. This can seem like the trials we face and the problems in the world that seem to be everywhere like these structures towering over the landscape. When one looks at the same metropolis from the air, the skyscrapers would not look big when looking down on them but seem much smaller. This is not to minimize the problems or to paint a false picture of the scale of things but when we look through the eyes of heaven to earth and through the lens of scripture, what seems so far out of our reach and beyond our own reason is put into perspective as to who God is and his sovereign mercy and grace.
We may not be invited to Buckingham Palace to eat with the King or to No 10 Downing Street to a strategic cabinet meeting but we have access 24/7, 365 days a year to the throne of grace. We can take part in Gods strategy as his children. We do not sit with generals and Field Marshalls in defining battle plans and
tactical warfare but we follow the great supreme commander to advance the front line of hope through the gospel of Christ. The battles are fought in the spiritual realm and not in the flesh. The church advances on its knees. – Ephesians 6: 10-18; 2 Corinthians 10: 4; 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18; Colossians 4:2; Romans 12:12; Luke 18:1.
‘True prayer is neither a mere mental exercise nor a performance. It is far deeper than that – it is a spiritual transaction with the creator of Heaven and Earth’. – Charles Spurgeon.
‘Prayer brings God’s omnipotence into the fight for human souls’ – Wesley L. Duewel.

The Witness of Paul
The great apostle Paul wrote, 1 Corinthians 15:3
“For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;” The believers bible commentary states, ” according to the scriptures. The scriptures here refer to the old testament. Did the old testament actually predict that Christ would die for the sins of the people ? The answer is an emphatic “Yes” !! Isaiah 53:5-6 is sufficient proof. The burial of Christ was prophesised in Isaiah 53:9, and His resurrection in Psalm 16:9.
Paul, a great man of God went through the wringer until he was called home to the King. God even miraculously protected Paul when a poisonous snake latched on to his hand in Malta. The natives waited for him to die, he didn’t. Regarding this account in Acts 28 where Paul got bitten by a snake, we previously read that a great wind blew the ship Paul was travelling on, to Malta, where he was bitten by this snake. No doubt in my mind that God wanted the gospel in Malta and opened the storehouse (Psalm 135:7) , and no doubt Paul would have preached the gospel . Paul was given the power to perform miracles for the 3 months he was there in Malta, which gave him credibility. Of course, Jesus sustains creation (Hebrews 1:3), and as a man intercedes for us, but as God, controls the natural world, and the beating of our hearts. The King of Kings and Lord of Lords.
2 Corinthians Chapter 11 – 24-26, Of the Jews five times received I forty stripes save one.
Thrice was I beaten with rods, once was I stoned, thrice I suffered shipwreck, a night and a day I have been in the deep; In journeyings often, in perils of waters, in perils of robbers, in perils by mine own countrymen, in perils by the heathen, in perils in the city, in perils in the wilderness, in perils in the sea, in perils among false brethren; Psalms 135:7 – Regards Richard.
Psalm 100 A Psalm of Thanksgiving. ‘Make a joyful shout to the LORD, all you lands! Serve the LORD with gladness; Come before His presence with singing. Know that the LORD, He is God; It is He who has made us, and not we ourselves; We are His people and the sheep of His pasture. Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, And into His courts with praise. Be thankful to Him, and bless His name. For the LORD is good; His mercy is everlasting, And His truth endures to all generations’. (NKJV).
Thank you to all who support this outreach with prayer and finance, we could not do this without you.
Every blessing, the team & trustees.
