The Sleeping Church

A wake up call.  It is high time to awake out of sleep.  The sleeping church needs to be stirred from its slumber!  Many saints are like a sleeping man, spiritually they are become dull, without sensitivity and consciousness to spiritual truth and life.  They are like Samson, become carnal and careless.  God rebukes the slothful, yet commends the diligent.  A call to awaken the church from its inaction, to new fervour.  To watch and be sober.  To be clothed with the armour of Light.  Wake up Australia!

How to Work for God

How are we to work?  To live the truly victorious Christian life?  You are His workmanship - His work of art.  He has a work for you to fulfil.  He says, be stedfast, unmovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord.  Be unshakeable.  Faithful.  Fruitful.  The constancy of the Christian.  Let us all play our individual part in 'the work of the Lord'.

How to Pray

Two people went to pray - but only one prayer worked.  How are we to pray?  What hinders prayer?
Will our prayer be marked with humility, and from the heart?  How to pray - so that God hears you.

God Manifested

An encounter with the invisible God, Who has made Himself known.  He is not far removed or hidden away.  He visits us.  His presence is evident, with His worshiping people.  God is manifested, in the Glory cloud and firey pillar.  He is manifested in the flesh - in the Person of Jesus Christ.  And He is manifested today in the Body of Christ, the church of which He is its driving force.

Receive the Word

A library in one volume, with great power. It's the Bible. Take it in humility, and it will work faith, peace, and power. There's light, victory, healing, and ultimately salvation in its message. Appreciate its authority, its sufficiency, its promises, and its application. Be a doer of the Word!

Purity of the Church

God's design is for His church to be built after His Pattern.  The strength of the church is its purity in doctrine and practice.   It's amazing how God uses fallible people to be His living stones to build His church. I love the church!  Thank God, He uses the imperfect to be His own special people, the called out.

Legalism

What does it really mean?  What legalism is, and what it is not.  Legalism is a 'label' that people can misunderstand and misuse.  Legalism is works.  The key is understanding Grace, which is our ultimate aim, and recognising the basis and source of Authority for our lives.  Seeking to truly obey the Lord is Biblical and right.  That's not legalism.  Check your motivation.  There's a liberty that comes when pleasing God is our driving force.  It's not a yoke of bondage, but a freedom and a joy.    Grace teaches us and liberates us.  It sets us free in Christ.
