Integrity


Integrity.
It costs nothing, yet it can cost you everything to keep it.
It costs nothing, yet it can cost you everything if you lose it.

Let your "Yes" MEAN Yes and your "No" MEAN No!
Jesus said "anything beyond this is from the devil"

Be careful what you watch. Be careful who you listen to. Be careful what and whom you "agree" with.

This is NOT to curb your freedom in Jesus, but a loving word passed on from a loving Heavenly Father; who, like any parent, doesn't want His children, to naively get into some stranger's car; to be taken away to who knows where?

Know what you are saying 'amen'* to, before saying it. See Acts 17:11.
Amen? (oh, the irony)


*Amen = so be it

He wants to heal us


How I long to embrace you. Deep healing. You have done well with so little. You have a little strength and have resisted those who tried to control you. But let me heal you. Come in from the cold, you must be frozen. Your heart was broken and you finally collapsed. You grew physically but were frozen in your hurt. A spell was cast over you...who has bewitched you. You cannot earn my love but years of hard work and effort merely made you resentful.
But I heard your cries for help your song in the night your deep sighs. You cannot heal yourself.

Even young men grow weary and fall. So come let us reason together.  Reach for my hand.

I watched from the hills as you returned I saw the determination in your face. But I saw you stumble because you had so little light.

Let me embrace you and heal your fear. All your life you have been brave even thou you were so scared.

I alone know the plans I have for you. I have gone before you and made a way. No more will I let you stagger through life, gritting your teeth.

I have a role for you in this nation... but let me equip you!

Dig for victory - a word for all of us in Bath


There is a stream deep under the ground like those that feed Bath from the Mendips.  Boreholes go in deep into the hills around Bath to draw the stream in the same way dig deep folks.  A stream of praise and worship is waiting to get out.

LIFT UP YOUR EYES..(genesis 18:2) In time of war there is a famine, but the righteous live by faith.

The answers that you long for require you to reach a bit further.  It is time to grow.  The word is like a deep well and now we need to dig into it.  The river flowing from the temple in Revelations and Ezekiel got deeper until it was too deep to stand up in.  We have to SWIM.  No flesh will stand before the throne of God.  The spirit is flowing and we have to go with it, WHEREVER IT TAKES US.

When you where a child you waited to be led.  You waited to be told what to do.  You waited to be fed.  But as you grow the food is not as close to you. In fact you have to go and get it.  You may need to dig to get the plants for food.


But it is unfamiliar and you question wether it really is God.  We have known the same pattern for years. BUT GOD WILL BREAK THIS PATTERN....BECAUSE HE LOVES US AND SEES THAT WE ARE NOT HEALED.  It was the same in Jeremiah’s day.  They were not as far ahead as they thought.

He longs to embrace us, lets not miss this opportunity.
