Feb 18-23 – Abu Dhabi

Hi everyone,

We are in Abu Dhabi still awaiting Keir’s visa for Bahrain. They lost the first application and so now trying again. In the meantime we are ‘forced’ to rest up, which has been good. We had such a wonderful time in the church here and really saw God do what no man can do. Hope you have received the testimony of the guy that got healed, walked from the wheelchair and was immediately baptised in the pool. We stand in awe of our great God. The church has been greatly encouraged and equipped.

Loads of love
Two traveling T’s; K+C

Feb 24-28 – Bahrain

Hi everyone,

Just heard the guys in Bahrain cannot get a visa for Keir. So we are staying extra time here in Abu Dhabi @ Cornerstone Church, and they are so excited to have us again. “Man plans his ways, God directs the steps…”

The church here have been so amazingly responsive to the word of God and really pushing in to what The Holy Spirit is doing. Also this weekend there is a gathering of churches around “The New wine” – an overflow from John Wimber, involving main-line churches and hosted by the Anglican Church. Amazingly there are 160 church gatherings in AD; 80 within labor camps and 80 without. The Anglican Church is considered by the Emiratees as the main representative.

Feedback from Newday in Westrand, Jannes Labuscagne reported:

“Hi Keir, great to hear what God is doing trough you guys!! We’ve had our biggest attendance ever, this last Sunday and are certainly seeing a whole lot of momentum in different areas of the church. Please share with is about some of the things that God is doing that side, so we can keep stirring our people’s faith this side…..”

Love to you all
Blessings,

11-17 Mar – Misissagua Toronto

Hi everyone,

We are in Mississauga Toronto with Lifehouse church. This is the third time we are in the church and this evening was the first of the five sessions we have with them. They are a growing church in the community with a real passion for people. We ministered to the elders of a church in Pickering Toronto yesterday and as the evening drew to a close there were quite a few tears and hearts crying out for revival.

Next week we will be traveling to Halifax, in Nova Scotia (New Scotland). This is a new church for us to be in and they are sooo excited that we could come. It is a two hour flight east of Toronto.

On Wednesday evening in a prayer meeting at the Bridge Church in Pickering a word was brought to Callie and I:

“The motto on our coat of arms in Latin means ‘from sea to sea,’ taken from Ps. 72:8: ‘May he rule from sea to sea and from the River to the ends of the earth.’ Feeling that as K&C travel across this country from east to west, they are fulfilling our country’s motto, proclaiming Christ’s rule across the nation. [Also – “from the River to the ends of the earth” – the southern border of much of eastern Canada is the St. Lawrence River, and Canada extends up to the Arctic Circle.]”

So it is with great expectation we go to Halifax in the East and minister throughout this land of Canada.

We will keep you posted. Missing you and our love to you all.

Keir and Callie

11-17 Mar – Misissagua Toronto

We so miss you all and wonder how the weekend went.

We talk about Cornerstone everywhere we are and so many names come up from our church as many know, remember or have family in the church.

Well we have spent considerable time with a church -Lifehouse – and had five meetings with them and they have been hugely encouraged. In having a lunch and a chat with a couple who have moved up from Brazil to Lifehouse Church shared this with us:

“A friend of mine heard that one of his friends had died suddenly and she was  already in the morgue to his surprise. So he went to the morgue and asked the officials if he could pray for her. He got permission and so set about praying for her. He said “(her name) come back, I rebuke the spirit of death”. She did, she opened her eyes and began to breathe … Not only her but another eight other dead people came to life in the same room. This rocked our city and caused many people to come to churches all over the city.”

I have never heard of such a testimony.

Today we set off as a surprise leg of our trip to Halifax on the East Coast. We didn’t make Bahrain and we didn’t plan Halifax … God has. So we are expectant and looking forward to making new friends. We will tell you news of this before the weekend.

Love to you all.

Blessings,
Keir and Callie

11-17 Mar – Halifax

Hi Everyone,

We arrived at Halifax and it was snowing and -6C …. Love it!!!

We send this to you as it is simply an amazing write-up on “apostolic relationships” put in print in such a wonderful way. As Mike Hanchett  often gets us to say – “its not about me”, and it’s not about us  – it’s about Him.

This could be written about any one of us. I share it with you as it is a “summary” about what Cornerstone Church is about. We do it together.

By the way those eight dead raising was in a city in Brazil.

Do You Believe In Miracles?
Written by Mark Ellwood

Ephesians 4:11
“It was he who gave some to be apostles, some to be prophets, some to be evangelists, some to be pastors and teachers, to equip the saints for the work of the ministry.”

It is with much excitement and anticipation that we once again welcome to The Bridge;  Keir and Callie Tayler. I can’t think of anything more Jesus exalting than to be equipped to carry on His work on this earth. No matter in what arena God chooses to use you, us, together. Living in a fallen world that is crying out for reality. A world where the supernatural of the divine Spirit of God will overcome the natural, and God in His grace and mercy chooses to use earthen vessels like Keir, Callie, you and me to accomplish His purposes WOW.

Our friendship with them spans two decades, so they come by invitation, not as a guest speakers or an unknown faces, but as family to impart and impact “ The Bridge” and our community.

Having recently completed our “Equip Time” on“Discovering Your Spiritual Gift”.  They come as a gift (doma), a recognized Ephesians 4 gift, to our shores, and we receive them as such.

It is with much excitement and anticipation of what our mighty God will do, reveal, encourage, equip and strengthen through this amazing couple.

Matthew 10:41
“The one who receives a prophet because he is a prophet will receive a prophet’s reward, and the one who receives a righteous person because he is a righteous person will receive a righteous person’s reward.”

I believe that even as we accept them, or as scripture states in the ESV translation; “receive”them, we will receive the due reward. My faith is taking an extra ordinary leap to partner with what God intends for us. Faith is not a feeling but a gift of God.

Bridget and I have had the privilege of traveling and ministering side by side, with Keir and Callie, and on one occasion, on our return was asked to report to a group of pastors. They asked “what did you do?”. With pure naivety, I replied we preached the gospel, and blind eyes were opened, deaf ears heard and the cripples walked. Increduous to say the least, thereafter their faith was increased and I was able to lay hands and pray for healing which took place, as faith was released and increased.

We  have put time aside for Keir and Callie to minister a body of truth, to build with them, and hear what is on God’s heart for us. To exalt the name of Jesus and bring glory and honour to His name. They will be with us March 19th – 23rd.

They hail from South Africa, and continue to travel extensively throughout the world ministering the gospel of Good News with signs and wonders following.

Looking ahead into 2014, and the promises of God of an inheritance year, individually and as the Bridge family. We want to march boldly forward into the more of what we firmly believe God has for us

I encourage you to take hold of this amazing opportunity to join in with us, be equipped, and prepared for “the work of the ministry”, that God has laid ahead for each one of us.

These are hands across the waters strengthening one another.

As a thought to ignite a flame within you….

Do you believe in miracles?

17 March – return from Halifax

Hi Everyone,

We have returned from Halifax where we had input to a church there called Anchor City Church.

Halifax lies opposite another town called Dartmouth, and between these two cities, in Nova Scotia is the deepest natural harbour in the world. An amazing sight. Monster ships cruise in to offload cargo. A military base nearby and even expansion of another port underway.

Well we gathered with the church for two nights in an amazing venue and spoke to those who came. There weren’t many as it was at short notice and ‘spring-break’ was starting. However, our Lord was ever encouraging and healing. Three salvations on the first night and healing – one person had stage one diabetes and reported that his sugar levels had remained normal for the duration of our time there. He was sooo excited about it. He brought friends the second night, …. that’s evangelising.

Keir met two other leaders in the city and had a good time with them – sharing what we had done over the years and about our home base church.

In summary, the leaders of Anchor City church, Dan and Katie, were so encouraged that we would take time to come to them and lift up arms. For us it is always a huge privilege.

We will be with Redhill Church in Milton, Toronto for the weekend. Jaco and Kathy Maree who lead the church were home cell leaders of ours in the 90’s; when we were pastors in a church in Pinetown.

Love to you all
Blessings,
Keir+Callie=

1-7 April – Nainamo

Hi dear friends,

Our adventures in God is coming to an end soon; we have just finished doing Facelift with Oceanside church here run by Mike  and Debs Graves (old friends of ours from the 90s when we were pastors with City of Life Church in Pinetown). Recently added to Oceanside are Russel and Glyn Eels from Pietermaritzburg whom we met in India many years ago so it was SO nice connecting with old friends. They are a huge gift to Oceanside church.

The meetings started on Thursday, Friday, Sunday and during that time people were saved. Mike tells us that it is so hard to get people out of darkness into the light so we were delighted when the first night a man was saved.  On Sunday morning there were quite a few salvations including the sister of a man who had lived in the same town for seven years and yet they had seen each other twice over that period.  He was weeping as she confessed Jesus as her Savour. The church was overjoyed with the response to the gospel although Keir had to work hard to pull them out of darkness into the light Jn 3:19. Probably at least 6 brand new souls. We rejoice at how God reconciled families and friends and did what only He can do healing and breaking chains.

We go to Victoria this week to Trinity church which has just been taken over by Mark and Jen duToit. Funnily enough they met each other when Jen decided to come on a trip to Africa after Keir had been to Nanaimo many years ago.  It is our last week before we go to spend a week with our beloved Pete and Lisa and granddaughters at Bethel in California.
Will report on that event later. Meanwhile our dearest love to you all.

In Him.

Blessings,
Callie

Wanting to Respond to the Call

/0 Comments/in

IMG_5840 by Ryan Peter

We had a hugely encouraging time with Hennie Keyter and his motley crew on Sunday night as they shared with us their stories, struggles, and joys of living out the apostolic call of God. I couldn’t help coming away and feeling that, even if I’m not as tough as Hennie, God has a plan and purpose for us all and, perhaps, I just need to “get over myself” and go for it.

Hennie launched his book His Call, My All at the event. Janet Batchelor has been reading the book and here’s what she thinks:

“His Call, My All” has inspired me about God’s call for our lives in a very big way. As you read it you start saying to yourself, “I want to have a heart like that.” Hennie reflects on many things in this book – and you get to know him, find out more of his background, and how he met Rita and led his family – but one thing that comes up again and again is God’s goodness and that if you trust God, He comes through.  Through all the stories Hennie relates in this book – and it’s been a gripping read – you see the Lord honour Hennie’s determination for the apostolic call in the most amazing situations. Doors open as a result and the Gospel can spread further. I know that anyone who reads this book will, at the end, want to go fulfil God’s purposes for them.

“The Twelve” Preaching Series

/0 Comments/in , ,

TheTwelveArt-Slide1

Each of Jesus’ twelve disciples were unique people; with their own hang-ups, their own challenges, and their own God-given gifts and ministries. It didn’t matter who they were or where they came from, Jesus was able to shape them into mature, effective people, who made a difference for the Kingdom of God.

He discipled them for the purpose of Mission. He disciples all of us for the purpose of Mission. Our new series “The Twelve” will explore the unique stories of each of Jesus’ disciples. When we see how Jesus worked with them and how He achieved God’s purposes through them, we’ll see that He can, without exception, achieve His purposes through every one of us.

We’ll be starting The Twelve preaching series on Sunday morning, 26 January at Bedfordview and Thursday, 23 January at Uptown.

Indonesia Report Back

/0 Comments/in , ,

Recently, Mark Meeske headed off to Indonesia and was part of the Equip time there. Here are some details of this trip from Steve Potter (Australia) who we partner with.

The team consisted of the Indonesian translocal team headed up by Darwin and Silvi Lontoh, bolstered by Ian McKellar (Church of Joy, Singapore), Mark and Steve Potter (Coastlands, Australia).

The churches in this area of the world are in an amazing space and poised, ready for increase both in the churches and in other regions. On a recent trip to West Timor, Darwin and Siswo went to the church in Soe, where the 1965 national revival started with Mel Tari. After a chance meeting with the pastor, Darwin ended up preaching to over 500 young people at a city wide youth gathering when all he wanted to do was get a photo! Many repented of passivity and were set alight for the gospel!

Many of the evening sessions at the Equip were packed. One night was overflowing, as a public holiday afforded many the opportunity to get there and people had to be seated on the stage. Over 450 leaders registered and attended at some time through the week. There was a notable deposit left from Mike Hanchett from a month earlier with a steady flow of testimonies and prophetic offerings through the week as a result.

Mark’s preach was about selfless apostolic living. Many responded to salvation and the baptism of the Holy Spirit.

There was many notable healings through the week and one lady with advanced cancer received much prayer over the week and testified to noticeable change in pain levels and sleep.

As usual the worship was extraordinary with such rich tangle moments in His presence.

Why Life Team? Mpho Ntuli

/0 Comments/in , ,

Thinking about – or know someone who’s thinking about – doing Cornerstone’s Life Team next year? Mpho led the Life Team in 2012 and, in the process, found himself changed as well. Here’s his story.

I had the incredible privilege of leading the team of 2012. To be honest, I had so many expectations, some of which were superficial, but I decided I was gonna walk into this having told God what it was I was looking for. God is so faithful to honour our dreams and desires and it was only months into the next year that I saw God’s faithfulness in my expectations.

God chipped off quite a few things that had crept into my character that he wasn’t pleased about and as much as it hurt when it was happening, the fruit of it that I’m living in now is incredible.

God taught me how to operate in team. It took a long time and I was sure at one point that I was never going to get this right. Today I’m part of an awesome team of youth leaders and I’m able to be as effective as I believe God’s called me to for now because of the road I had walked on with Life Team.

It was only after he had dealt with stuff that was on His heart that God began to attend to the desires of my heart, and like I’ve said already, the fruit of this has been incredible.

So if you’re keen to join Life Team, perhaps let me encourage you this way:

1. Allow yourself to be mentored (there is huge anointing and power in accountability).
2. Don’t distance yourself from God just because you spend all your time surrounded by other Christians.
3. Open your heart to connecting, ministering and being ministered to by the team.
4. Figure out what areas of ministry/spiritual gifts you’re passionate about and called to and then actively pursue these.
5. Don’t throw in the towel when the going gets tough. As much as it hurts, its all part of God’s plan!

Short update from Keir and Callie Tayler in Poland

/0 Comments/in ,

Here’s a short update from Callie Tayler, currently in Poland on an apostolic trip with her husband, Keir:

We’ve been in four towns already where several churches gather to hear the Word.  We’ve been so very blessed to see the changes since we were here two years ago and how they have grown and implemented New Testament church principals.

The first town was Swidnik and they were all so excited to have us back and to tell Keir what has happened to them and how they are praying every day for revival in Poland.  It was a great time of heart connections and I was amazed at how much they love and respect Keir.

The next day we travelled an hour and a half to Radzin where the church was full and expectant. Many miracles have happened in this small church in its nine years and again God has proved himself faithful. A man who was crippled first gave his heart to Jesus and left his crutch behind as he was totally healed. A woman with terrible calcification in her neck and shoulders was laughing for joy as she could swing her arms and move her neck. Another lady was healed of breathing problems. And there was another testimony where a chronic disease was healed where a lady was going for an MRI scan free from excruciating pain and so it went on.  How exciting it is to see our Lord through His Spirit operate in people’s lives and set them free from these bondages.

We then went to the town of Parcewz. A vibrant expectant gathering of three churches awaited us. God’s presence was evident and they were so happy we had come back to minister as the prophetic Word given them two years ago was evident in the church.  Again God confirmed his Word with salvations and people being baptised in the Holy Spirit and healed in many different things – legs, backs, feet etc. It was a glorious time.

From there we have moved to Hrubieszow for two nights. We are expectant for the Holy Spirit to move here as many people are oppressed and downcast.   It is a lot of moving and ministering and sleeping in some very strange places but worth every minute when I see how much they love the presence of God.  They are fervent in praying and excited in God!!!

Our dearest love to you all,
Callie

Another update, sent Friday 8 November

Jesus went about to all the towns and villages teaching and proclaiming the gospel and healing Matt 5 23. As Jesus did so we follow His example.

Poland has been just like that. Sometimes there are a few churches gathered together to hear the Word of life and other times we are sent to the villages and smaller churches that have never had someone from Africa come and share the love of Jesus with them .

At all times we count it such a privilege and the Holy Spirit comes and changes lives sets the captives free and heals those who are oppressed.

Our last visit was to the city of Hrubieszow to a fairly small church. After ministering the Word at two sessions God confirmed His Word with healings. A woman with a goiter in her throat could swallow and talk again and a woman with scholiosis could lift her arms and jumped up and down as the pain instantly departed from her back and legs. She came up and took my face and said “I will never forget you”.

I felt so humbled as she was an extremely poor lady living in a shelter for women. All the time as we travel into towns cities and villages we are reminded that Jesus sees every person as precious in His sight and we are to see them with His eyes.

A couple of ladies had healings in their eyes and one man had terrible pain in all his joints and stomach and the pain left.

Sometimes it is hard as we sleep in tiny beds with very thin mattresses and we move around to different churches constantly with ministry every day but it is all about advancing His Kingdom one place at a time so we count it a joy.

We are in a city now called Radom and ministering twice into a church of about 100 people. Last night a pregnant lady came to the front to repent and give her heart back to Jesus. She wept and wept and people lined up for healing.

We go to a village church tonight in Stratowice, and then back to Radom for Sunday meetings. Our internet exposure is very erratic and where we are based now we cannot get so I do this letter so when we do connect again it can go to you all.

Our love in His service, Keir and Callie

Quick update from Mark Meeske in Indonesia

/0 Comments/in ,

Update from Mark Meeske, currently doing apostolic work in Indonesia:

He shared last night and God came in power. There were healings and the Spirit refreshed and empowered many. They are trusting for more of that and they’re all very excited.

He says there are 300 folk there and they are hungry for more of God and being encouraged in a big way. Worship is awesome.

Keep praying for Mark and feel free to encourage him via SMS. If you have any prophetic words for them, SMS him as well.

All Those Sins are Washed Away

/0 Comments/in

by Ryan Peter

One of the hardest things to believe in Christianity is that, quite simply, all our sins are forgiven and washed away through simply asking God to forgive us.

We complicate this endlessly. But the Bible is emphatic — our sins are washed away by the blood of the Lamb.

If they are washed away when you become a Christian, they are washed away as you live as a Christian.

Listen to this: THEY ARE WASHED AWAY. If you sin and sin and sin and sin constantly, doing the same thing, these are WASHED AWAY by the Blood of the Lamb. You can sin now and ask for forgiveness and then sin in the next moment and then ask for forgiveness. God doesn’t count your sins, He washes them away. We count them. He doesn’t. When God looks at you He sees you as righteous because you are in Christ.

Your sins are washed away. Washed away, washed away, washed away.

It’s so hard to really believe it, isn’t it? We want to constantly add conditions. Are you sorry enough for your sins? Are you determined to stop doing them? Did you repent properly? Did you do all the acts of penance correctly?

The promise is that Jesus washes away our sins if we ask. It’s really simple. When I first decided to believe in Christ I asked God to forgive me of my sins and he did so. I didn’t have to worry about all this other stuff. I simply repented and that was that. Why should I have to worry about it now?

His mercies are new each morning. His steadfast love never fails. (Lamentations 3:22, 23.)

Why Life Team? Shannon Strydom

Shannon (left) with Faye Mc Clean, who also did Life Team in 2004.

Thinking about – or know someone who’s thinking about – doing Cornerstone’s Life Team next year? Shannon Strydom was part of the Life Team in 2004. She was 22 at the time and had just completed her studies and year of community service as an occupational therapist. Here’s what Life Team was like for her.

I found Life Team to be an incredible experience involving lots of hard work, many challenges, tons of fun, awesome team mates – some of whom remain my closest friends – and times in God’s presence that were so life-changing that I remember them with clarity, even nearly 10 years later.

I’d like to highlight one aspect that was definitive for our year: the trips that we went on as a team. We went on more than 11 ministry trips and each provided unique opportunities to learn, grow and give. These trips included outreaches to Mpumalanga, Viljoenskroon in the Free State, Mafikeng and Mooi River; accompanying Marcus as he ministered in Port Elizabeth; braaing more than 2000 chicken wings for the celebration of a church transition in Venda; hanging out with another team in Cape Town; ministering to the church in East London; team building in Ramsgate; assisting at the Junior Youth Camp; serving at the Bloem LTT (now Equip) and the Lesotho LTT; and serving for a month in Malawi. Throughout the year, an understanding and appreciation of the apostolic heart of the Gospel was birthed in my heart.

Looking back over nine and a half years, it’s easier to pick out the milestones that shape your life, and I can say that 2004 was definitely one of those.

How you choose to respond to the opportunities and lessons that the experience of Life Team brings is up to you.

Kaleidoscope 2013: Lives Were Touched

/0 Comments/in ,

Kaleidoscope Women's Conference 2013

by Justine Engelbrecht

Many women’s lives were touched at this year’s Kaleidoscope through Jean Guthrie’s ministry and the wonderful women of Cornerstone’s eldership. Through amazing faith and their blessings, hearts were restored and lives changed. Here are some of the bible verses and messages that were imparted over these three amazing days.

Here are some of my highlights – scriptures and points – from the event.

When you are born again you have a new image. We have Jesus’ image. We can only radiate with Jesus’ Spirit in us. We must yield to His Spirit so that we can radiate for Him. Our “aim” must be to look like Him.

Genesis 1:26-27

What has happened to the image of God in us?

Genesis 3:6-12

Adam & Eve were clothed in God’s glory but when they sinned that glory was removed from them and they were naked. When we sin we become separated from God, but through Jesus we can go to Him & receive forgiveness. The only way is to be born again.

Romans 8:29

For those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, in order that he might be the firstborn among many brothers.

This is so very important and it is something we should remind ourselves of everyday – To never stop praying for family and other people, as all you can take to heaven are people.

Luke 20:21-25

God has a rightful claim on every person. We need to bear His image. He wants us to be filled with and led by His Spirit. We need to be wrapped in His glory.

2 Peter 1:4

Yield to the Spirit. Satan is trying to rub off God’s image from people and replace it with his image. But we must resist it and pray for those that are in that place.

How does Satan rub off God’s image? Through things such as:

Addictions – alcohol and nicotine

Rejection

Drugs

Oppression

Fear

Unforgiveness

Low self image

Low self esteem

Depression

Stress

But Jesus is the Prince of Peace & our Saviour. He sets us free & we don’t need to rely on anything or anyone but Him. In Him we have JOY! Nothing can compete with the Holy Spirit. Without the Holy Spirit everything is human effort.

No Holy Spirit equals no result – but when He comes in there are results. Jesus didn’t leave us alone; He gave us the Holy Spirit.

The Holy Spirit is a person. There is no power that can stand against the power of the Holy Spirit. Some of these scriptures came up during our time together:

Acts 1:4-5

Acts 1:8 (God wants to use us!)

Matthew 3:11

Acts 2:1-4 (God wants to baptise us with the Holy Spirit and fire so that we will never be the same. Ignite the fire.)

1 Corinthians 14:1-2, 14-15

Jude 20 (Stay in the Spirit! The Spirit needs to dominate the flesh.)

John 16:5-15 (Every one of us can have the Holy Spirit)

Without the anointing nothing happens. Outside of Jesus there is no anointing.

Isaiah 10:27

The anointing destroys the yoke. The anointing is the presence and the power of the Holy Spirit. It is not hype. It’s not fleshly preaching, praying, singing, dancing, entertainment and shouting; it is the presence of God

Acts 4:13

Anointing comes from being with Jesus. So we must pray!

The anointing is the touch of God on my life. One touch and you will never be the same. It’s like electricity. Therefore yield to the spirit of God.

The anointing can be seen in certain things:

– Your countenance changes

– Holy weeping

– Spontaneous speaking in tongues

– Getting intoxicated with the Holy Spirit

– Sinners repent

– Spontaneous praise & worship

– Shaking & falling

– Heat

Acts 8:14

Acts 19:11-12

Acts 5:12-15 (The anointing can be transferred.)

1 John 2:27

There is a personal believers anointing. There is corporate anointing. The anointing comes from the Throne Room of Heaven. You do not want someone else’s anointing, you must get the original anointing from the original Anointer which is God Himself.

Yield to the Holy Spirit.

Exodus 40.38

Original gospel mandate, impossible without the power of God.

‘The Presence of God is so precious to me, that I yielded and yielded and yielded and was changed!’

The Presence of God

We must be filled with the Holy Spirit, without Him we can do nothing. Like a glove needs a hand to do what needs to be done, so we need the Holy Spirit. We are the glove and He is the hand.

When we are filled with the Holy Spirit we will never be the same again, in the same way Saul became Paul on the Damascus road. We all need a Damascus road experience.

Yield to the Holy Spirit, do not grieve Him.

2 Corinthians 3:6

“Spirit makes alive”

If you have a head, Jesus has a flame for you. Your flame has a name!

2 Corinthians 5:17-21

– God has given us the ministry of reconciliation.

– We are a His ambassadors.

– We are to be flames of fire.

– There is no such thing as a silent gospel.

– God is working with us, and within us.

– We have to be on fire for Jesus Christ otherwise we cannot set others on fire.

– Stir the gift, be set on fire.

– Yield to God’s Spirit & His Power.

Psalm 42, 63

Matthew 3:11

Jeremiah 5:14

– God’s power can’t come out of you unless it’s in you.

– God has plans for us & it is in the presence of the Holy Spirit.

Psalm 104:4

– ‘Wind is messenger, fire and flame ambassadors’

– Yield to the Spirit, Yield to the Fire, Now is the time, now is the Hour!

Romans 12:11

– To be filled with zeal, you must be filled with fuel.

Please be encouraged to look up the verses and to receive the incredible blessings that Jesus has in store for you. Yield to His Spirit, receive His grace and power!
