I have spent these past few weeks writing for the upcoming events in the DT calendar and in particular the new 6 week course - From Fear to Faith which will start on 15 September. It has been a joy for me to discover the truth that sets us free and to hear the Lord say to me, 'it is I, do not be afraid'. Over an over again in His Word we are told not to be afraid and over and over again the reason given is that He is with us.
I have been listening too - wonderful new songs that are so easy to hear online - songs of praise and deliverance, songs that have filled my heart with joy and caused me to lift my voice to the God who chose me and called me His own.
Through it all the Lord has reminded me that the life I have is a gift from Him, that every moment of every day is to be spent seeking His kingdom and His righteousness. I have heard Him say, don't waste your life, don't be deceived and do not give in to the work of the enemy of your soul. So this is a plug for the new course and indeed for all the seminars and conferences that we have planned. Set your heart on the things of God - fill your mind with His Word, join with us in sweet fellowship around His truth and do all that you can to stand firm as the enemy attacks.
Sustained by grace, Compelled by love and Knowing Christ Now - each has led me into the next, each one a beautiful piece of the jigsaw of His Word. Every time I sit to write my mind is flooded by His truth and He makes the connections for me, the words flying off my fingers as I type and His truth making me free at every turn.
And don't forget to come and pray - to pray for the church and our nation. To pray that believers in the Lord Jesus will know the truth and contend earnestly for it. Pray that each one will decide that the glory of God is worth their time, their energy and their talent. Pray unceasingly and pray with us - pray that His glorious, life transforming Word, ministered by His Spirit will have its way in the lives of all who call themselves believers in Christ.
