Facing giants alone?
People around you, doubting you all the time?
Turn up and meet the enemy head-on anyway!
- because The Lord is with you; and that's all that counts in the end!

The Lord is with you!
Outnumbered?
Facing giants alone?
People around you, doubting you all the time?
Turn up and meet the enemy head-on anyway!
- because The Lord is with you; and that's all that counts in the end!

Honour
In our mandate for this year we are looking at the concept of Honour. What it is to Honour God and each other?
In looking at this it is good to examine how we can apply this in our lives. A good example of this can be seen in the story of the Exodus of God’s people from SLAVERY in Egypt. It is interesting to look at this, at this time of year, because we at Forerunners have been challenged to study various traditions and what just is involved. With this in mind we look at maturing in terms of being able to choose just what we do follow. We hope by now that we are able to discern between what is merely following man’s tradition and being free to Honour God. This is a difficult and, sometimes, unpopular thing. In this example and many similar ones, God seeks to gain the Honour and respect of having the final victory. God is a jealous God and will have the final word at the end of time. Indeed the victory He acheived was unpopular and disputed even now, but in the end... every knee will bow!
I WILL GAIN HONOUR (Exodus 14:17)
In this story we know there has been a struggle between Pharoh and Moses... God’s people were finally freed because He had the last word. The BLOOD OF JESUS was and is the final word, which satisfies and defeats the enemy. Because of this, we are free to discern and do not have to be slaves to the tradition of men.
Who will be HONOURED at the end of it all. Indeed we have a choice, but what choice best Honours God and His people?

We have toiled all night.
We have toiled all night.
Nevertheless at your word I will let down the net (Luke 5:5). We have worked hard in our own strength and become weary and some have fainted. We have struggled between flesh and spirit but God has been good to us. He is always good to us... yet we reap what we sow. If we sow to the flesh we reap destruction. We are consumed by you O, God. We are saved as through fire.
LAUNCH OUT INTO THE DEEP
It is not by power or might though many of us have relied on our ability. It is a time to rely totally on the spirit of God. Heal our divided heart. Broken from the beginning. Yet we long to please you. We cannot seem to do what is good. Help us should be our cry.
AT YOUR WORD. Don't rely on your flesh it deceives you. It’s nature is to indulge. It’s desire is for comfort. Yet I alone comfort says the Lord. Let me embrace you. Let me heal you.
Bath is the deep. Within it is buried gold. But it is as ‘Legion’. The bible records that night and day this man wandered the tombs. NO ONE COULD BIND HIM (Mark 5).
Do not rely on what you think feels right.
There is a wind blowing. To one it is fresh air that is a welcome relief and to others it is something to quench.
How He longs to heal us.

A word for Forerunners UK
In the book of Jeremiah the prophet challenges God’s people to pursue the ways and words of God over and above what seems to be contradicting this at the time.
In the sixth chapter and verse 16, he challenges then to pause and to find God’s ways. We too are at a crucial point. It is not popular to follow God’s ways and to do things according to His words of LIFE. These people, as we are, are challenged about WHO AND WHAT TO WORSHIP. This is a huge theme in this day and age and at this time of year. Indeed we are asked equally... what are we going to worship. We worship and bow down to so many other things in this day and age. Is it through fear?
What does the word of God say?
At this time what are we going to bow down to?
When pursuing true healing and wholeness in this life there are so many ways. We truly stand at a junction and crossroads, but there is a way that might run contrary to what is popular.
God is able to make a way where there is no way, but (for us), it is only by listening and acting upon what He says.
Jeremiah lived at a time when the people needed DEEP HEALING and they were not getting it. The answer lay in hearing what God said.
Our Father says that He longs to help us and embrace us. He sees the real unresolved issues and what is actually in the heart. He longs for us to break patterns and MOVE ON.
