What Faith !!
This is a copy of a remarkable email I received, it is reproduced by permission. It blessed me so much I just had to share it with you all. This simply made me weep over my own lack of faith. What a testimony from 94 years ago !!
************
"The following are entries translated from a diary and I hope the owner would not mind me sharing them now with you all!
‘. . . Oh my Jesus, my heart has merged into Your heart and I cannot find it any more. All the cells and atoms of my soul have been dispersed inside the ocean of Your heart. Wherever I search for my heart, there I find Yours. I could be separated from my own soul but I can never be separated from You, I am in You for ever. . . ‘
‘. . . You are the pleasure of my heart, the delight of my soul, the joy of my spirit, the light of my eyes, the strength of my life, the boasting of my existence, the glory of my entire life. How can I leave such a Saviour? . . . ‘
‘. . . I have vowed to be Yours for ever and ever to be with You. . . A million times I repeat my vow to You, for since I first vowed to be Yours forever, I have found You so perfect, so noble, so delightful. . . Even if You reject me, it is impossible, eternally impossible for me to leave You, beloved Saviour. . . ‘
‘. . . How grateful I am for loving me with all Your heart. I love You also, You know that I love You with all my soul and mind and strength, and my will be increasing for ever. Thank You for showing me the One I am supposed to love. I came into being for You only. . . ‘
‘. . . Your love has unlocked every chamber of my heart. You have conquered all of my existence. My soul longs for You with unquenchable thirst. I long to hear You say, ‘My child, I am here.’ . . . ‘
‘. . . Throughout my daily tasks my heart thirsts for You within me, oh my Jesus. Not only from morning till evening but even from night till dawn, my soul swims within your love. You are my dream when I sleep, and when I am awake You are my sweet meditation.
Your beauty is rare. If it ever possible to cast me in hell, even there, amongst the eternal flames with all my heart I will cry to You, ‘ I love You, beloved Jesus, I love you and thirst for You’.
If it would ever be Your will to extinguish me, my existence would cease but my love for You, joined to Your love, would still envelope You. . . ‘
‘. . . As long as I exist I will love You. I have found whom my soul was searching for. As soon as I saw You from afar I recognised You, my heart said, ‘He, He is the One’, and as long as You are who You are, how can I help but loving You?’ . . . ‘
‘. . . For my love for You, is also as strong as death, it will hold You captive for ever . . . I cling to You, I will not let You go for one moment. . . ‘
You are almighty, yet You cannot erase my love for You. You are eternally free but You will never be able to escape from my love.
Lord, allow me to constrain You to stay with us, do not take a step further. Stay in our home, let it be Your last station, Your paradise. We want to have You with us not just as a friend, but as a brother, Redeemer and King. Stay with us, we want to refresh Your heart, we want to do good to You, to give You rest, to bless You, to treat You as the apple of our eye. . . ‘
‘. . . one favour only I seek, to see You face to face. Only then my soul will be perfectly satisfied. I see You now but only through faith. I want to see You as You are. I want to see Your blessed face, Your smile, I want to hold the hand that was pierced for me and say, ‘ I love You my Jesus’
My heart thrills even now.
What will happen to me when You gaze into my eyes and say, ‘Welcome my beloved brother’ . . ? How many years I will spend gazing at Your face?
How much I long for the day of our meeting face to face!
I wish it was today!
Grant me, my Lord to see Your face and be satisfied with Your countenance. . . ‘
Five years after his last entry, the man who penned these words was called into the Presence and gazed into the Face he longed for.
It was 1916, and he was aged 42.
The man was the writers grandfather.
He lived to love God with all his heart, and he became a window through which the Lord’s grace was poured into our family.
He came into a saving knowledge of God in his thirties and after that became one of the first ministers of the gospel in the Greek colonies of Pontus, now northern Turkey.
We did not know much about him. My father was orphaned at the age of four, and as my grandfather’s death was followed by the Asia Minor catastrophe, very few people remained alive that could pass on first hand information about him.
The Lord in His goodness granted me the privilege of getting possession of 17 of his diaries!
In them, I am discovering a man who in the midst of, the Armenian genocide in his town and neighbourhood, the Turkish uprising against the Greek population, his duties to his dear flock, his family life, the tremendous instability of the era, and the severe cholera outbreak, had a heart that was consumed by one thing only, the love of the Bridegroom!
A man who loved God above his own salvation!
How much I wish these entries were penned by me.
Ever since I started looking into my grandfather’s diaries, my heart has been stirred deeply and my life has been challenged and greatly disturbed.
Will ever such assurance of loyalty and such boldness be mine?"

All about Mustard Seed
The promises of God are ALL about mustard seeds !! Your mustard seed – my mustard seed.
Matthew 17:20
He replied, "Because you have so little faith. I tell you the truth, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you."
Like all Bible promises and prophecies, this one has terms and conditions attached. “IF . . . . . THEN” Trouble is, I suspect, we have no problem at all with the ‘THEN’ – it’s the ‘IF’ that is our stumbling block. This one is no different – IF you have faith as small as a mustard seed, ‘ THEN ‘you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there' and it will move.’
I wonder how many of us remember the ‘ifs’ when we remember the promise or prophecy? Look at 2 Chronicles 7:14 “if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.” IF my people will ........ THEN I will heal their land. That’s pretty direct wouldn’t you say? IF you do something THEN I will do something.
So it is with virtually all promises and prophecy. Trouble is of course we forget all the IF’s and sit waiting for the THEN’s but the Bible says to use our faith and do the if’s and then claim the promise. Jesus goes further, as we saw earlier. He says that if we have faith as small as a mustard seed . . . . He also adds one wonderful codicil to that. He says that “NOTHING will be impossible for you."
Two points for you to consider here. Why is it that something as small as a mustard seed can trip us up so very often? Also, have you thought about that last amazing promise - “NOTHING will be impossible for you."?? I have never seen so many grown people fall so often over something so very small. No wonder Jesus urged us to have faith like that of a child. Children don’t see the size of the problem – they only envisage the end result. Adults look at the whole problem and start to analyse it – fatal mistake !! Children don’t need to understand the problem, they only have to think about the solution. Adults automatically think about all the problems and how to solve them one at a time – or worse – how insoluble they are to us.
So – it seems that having faith as small as a mustard seed is easier for children than for us adults. Nevertheless, Jesus promises us that IF we have a tiny grain of real faith – as small as a mustard seed – then not a single thing will be impossible for us. Which is where that second point comes in.
“NOTHING will be impossible for you." Does that sound ridiculous? Preposterous? A nonsense in human terms? Well let’s get ‘nothing’ into a kind of perspective. Look at it as nothing ‘within the Lords will for you and your life.’ Even with that rider on it, it still sounds too good to be true. Yet it IS true. I have watched limbs grow; I have watched as people were healed of cancer; I have seen faith growing in a couple to the extent that they believed it when the Lord told them through a prophet that they would have children. This was impossible humanly speaking as the woman had no fallopian tubes !!! Yet today her first child is 6 months old and a testimony to ‘faith as small as a mustard seed’. Her mountain moved out of the way and Gods promise to her was fulfilled.
It’s all about faith as small as a mustard seed. Oh brothers and sisters, when God gives you a seemingly impossible dream, cultivate your faith. Grow it even to the size of a single tiny mustard seed and see what the Lord can do for you !!
Hallelujah – Thank you Lord \o/

Love VS The Rest
Love VS The Rest
A couple of questions for you to answer. Pray over these before you answer and then be honest – if you dare !!
What is the value of our love if we still hold hatred?
There is a song in the musical South Pacific. The words go something like – “You have to be carefully taught . . . . . . . to hate all the people your relatives hate . . .” This seems to be the main mantra of present day society. Yet why would any thinking person, and intelligent person hate just because someone else does?? It doesn’t make any sense. But so many do. Hatred kills love. That’s the bottom line for any Christian – you cannot love if there is ANY hate in your heart. We must forgive and ask forgiveness if there is any hate in us.
What is the value of our faith if we still doubt?
What is faith? “Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see” Hebrews 11:1 (NIV) If we believe Jesus suffered and died for us; that He rose from the dead, and if we have faith that because we believe in Him and ALL that He did for us, then we will get to heaven – why is it we so desperately cry out but have no real faith for healing or provision or family salvations? How is it we believe so little and doubt so much?
Jesus told us to love our neighbour as ourselves - so where is judgement in loving our neighbour?
Yes – I know. Your neighbours are not nice people, neither are many others who live in your street, your town, your city. Crime is rising, respect for each other is at an all-time low, and who is my neighbour anyway? We see or hear one thing and we judge, perhaps forever more, our neighbour – and he probably does the same for us too. The Church itself is guilty of more ‘devoid of love’ judgments and pronouncements than I could even imagine. Yet, as the song said, we have all ‘been carefully taught’, and we all judge needlessly or at best prematurely.
Hate, doubt, judgementalism - all are the weapons of the enemy. The enemy wishes nothing more than our destruction – to break down our family, our job, our life. He wants to cast doubt upon every belief we hold dear. He wants us to judge when he knows there is only one Judge – whom we must all face one day.
Can we just simply love one another AND our 'enemies' too?
1 Corinthians 13:4-8 (NIV with my interpretation)
“Love does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.
Love is patient, love is kind. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.”
Isn’t love the best way ???

Testing Time IS Praising Time
Jesus never promised us an easy ride. He never said that being His disciple would be easy. He never even hinted that following Him would give us a trouble-free life. In actual fact, He said to “take up your cross and follow Me”.
So what is your reaction when God allows testing to come your way? Do you shout and holler? Rant and rage? Do you moan and groan – Oh Lord why this? – why that? How will we manage? You are only human after all and this latest test may have been the “final straw that broke the camel’s back”.
A friend of mine called recently – his wife has just been diagnosed with a particularly aggressive type of breast cancer. When told, she simply smiled and returned to her usual work saying, “God has me in His hand. I am not worried or scared.” What grace. What serenity in the face of such evil. I know many who would have crumpled in a heap at the news. Yet here was a true Christian assured response from one who knows her Saviour – who knows who she is in Him.
The Word says this :-
Romans 8 (One of the great sections of scripture in my opinion)
18 I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us.
28 And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.
NB – In ALL things – not in some things – in ALL things God works for our good.
37 No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.
38 For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, 39neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
NOTHING can separate us from Him or His love – NOTHING
Ephesians 5:20
“Always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.”
Giving thanks for EVERYTHING – not some things but EVERYTHING.
It doesn’t matter if its trouble through illness or finances or families or even our church, God is working in ALL things for our good and we must give thanks for EVERYTHING in our lives.
Let me finish on a warning and then an encouragement.
1 Corinthians 10:9-11 (NIV)
We should not test the Lord, as some of them did . . . . . And do not grumble, as some of them did—and were killed by the destroying angel.
11These things happened to them as examples and were written down as warnings for us, on whom the fulfillment of the ages has come.
In his book, From Prison to Praise, Melvyn Carruthers relates how on many occasions, seemingly dire situations were resolved wonderfully by simply giving God praise and glory in ALL things. Should we not be doing the same – more than we do at the moment??

RoFMI Visit to Denmark 28 Sept to 4 Oct 2010
It is amazing to watch God moving and to be a part – even a small part – of what He is doing in Scandinavia at this time. This was the longest RoFMI trip so far and we spent three days in Korsør followed by four days in Copenhagen.
Peter and I left for Copenhagen in the early hours of Tuesday morning. We were met at Kastrup Airport by our dear friend Preben and whisked away to our first meeting in a town close to Korsør called Slagelse. We saw the local community hall where the Thursday meeting was to be held and had a time of fellowship before moving on to Preben’s church and apartment at Pinsekirke Korsør, where we were to spend the next three nights. Tuesday evening we had the first of three healing meetings in the Korsør church. There were a good number present and Peter spoke on our relationship with the Healer. Sometimes we just get too sophisticated and we tend to forget what God has done for us. Jesus didn’t have computers or cars or airplanes. He had no advanced medicine nor telephones. He just healed those He met with. We are made in His image – made for a relationship with Him. Many were prayed for and healed – hallelujah.
On Wednesday, we had private meetings all day before going for a meal with one of the ladies in the congregation. After that we went to visit friends in the church. So did several other people !! and we fellowshipped and spoke about healing and many other things throughout the evening. One testimony came out in particular. Some of you may remember that in June, Peter and I were at a barbeque event where one of the church members opened her house and invited the neighbours round for a BBQ. After that weekend, starting on the Monday right through to Thursday, there followed a series of events that can only be of the Lord. Each night there were noises, sounds coming in off the sea. Each night the houses were shaking – lights swinging – dishes rattling and so on. The people called the Navy, the local authority, even the governments’ seismic measuring unit. NO – there were no earthquakes – the Navy had no exercises – the local authority was not doing any work. SO the neighbours all came over to the hosts house to ask what was going on !! It transpired that the only houses to hear and feel these things belonged to the people, four families, who had come to the BBQ and it was all entirely in line with a prophecy given to them by Peter at the BBQ!! Amazing events signs and wonders ??
We had a free day on Thursday and did a little bit of the tourist thing – sightseeing. The evening meeting in Slagelse had been advertised in the local papers and about 40 people turned out to hear the word and experience Gods healing hand for themselves. I managed to give the word, then Peter gave about 50 words of knowledge. One man had only come because of the adverts and he was instantly healed of FIVE things. Peter even managed to whistle the exact tone of his Tinnitus! Many were healed that night, including me. I had a severe back pain and truly thought I had another kidney stone. Yet when I stood to speak, the pain just disappeared completely, allowing me to speak and minister with Peter for around two hours. We had a great time of fellowship and personal ministry for so many people – only three people, (that we know of), did not come forward for prayer.
And so to Friday and in to Copenhagen with Pastors Stan & Ruth McCuien at the Gospel Church International. On the way to Gospel Church, we stopped at the Arken Café where old friend René is doing a wonderful work. I then travelled back to Kastrup Airport to pick up the third member of our team, Keith. Keith was the teacher for the Prophetic Seminar and Activation which we held on Friday evening and Saturday. On the opening Friday session, Keith spoke on Ezekiel 37 – the Valley of Dry Bones – and later on one of the young men there gave an amazingly accurate first prophecy to another young man who had been directed to come to the meeting so that he could hear what the Lord wanted to say to him!! Amazing ?? A good time of fellowship and ministry followed.
Saturday was to be our busiest day with meetings at 11.00, 2.30, and 7.00 with some friends coming from Møn and Korsør just for the teaching. In the first session, Keith taught on Revelation 19:10; and 1 Corinthians 14. Everything was well received and we all had a pleasant lunch. After lunch we had an extended question and answer session covering all aspects of the Gifts of the Spirit including prophecy. There was also time for some fellowship and ministry/activation as well.
In the evening, there was an amazing time of praise and worship when the Spirit fell upon our meeting as we cried out and prayed for revival in Denmark. There was much repentance and breakthrough with many truly Holy moments. We are hoping it was all recorded so we can get some CD’s out ?? Actually it was a very quiet time. There was no shouting; no extremes; just an extended time of n worship, plus deep, deep prayer and repentance. Many lives were healed, renewed, or raised to the Glory of God – it was, in a word, wonderful. The power and presence of the Holy Spirit was very obvious as we just tried to get out of His way and let Him work amongst us as only He can.
Sunday was again quiet before we had the normal afternoon meeting at Gospel Church. All three of us spoke at one time or another and, again, there was a wonderful time of praise and worship. The presence of the Holy Spirit was again manifest and many of the 100 or so people present were touched or prayed for or ministered to in His mighty power. There followed and evening of great fellowship, fun, and laughter as we all wound down after a hectic week. After a quiet morning and some fellowship, we all flew home by 7.00pm local time to Stansted in the UK.
Highlights? Well the guy who came to the healing meeting in response to the adverts was a bit special, but the over-riding highlight for me was the praise and worship led by Peter at the piano on Saturday night. If he comes to a church anywhere near you, you have to get along because the Holy Spirit will be there too.
Peter and I left for Copenhagen in the early hours of Tuesday morning. We were met at Kastrup Airport by our dear friend Preben and whisked away to our first meeting in a town close to Korsør called Slagelse. We saw the local community hall where the Thursday meeting was to be held and had a time of fellowship before moving on to Preben’s church and apartment at Pinsekirke Korsør, where we were to spend the next three nights. Tuesday evening we had the first of three healing meetings in the Korsør church. There were a good number present and Peter spoke on our relationship with the Healer. Sometimes we just get too sophisticated and we tend to forget what God has done for us. Jesus didn’t have computers or cars or airplanes. He had no advanced medicine nor telephones. He just healed those He met with. We are made in His image – made for a relationship with Him. Many were prayed for and healed – hallelujah.
On Wednesday, we had private meetings all day before going for a meal with one of the ladies in the congregation. After that we went to visit friends in the church. So did several other people !! and we fellowshipped and spoke about healing and many other things throughout the evening. One testimony came out in particular. Some of you may remember that in June, Peter and I were at a barbeque event where one of the church members opened her house and invited the neighbours round for a BBQ. After that weekend, starting on the Monday right through to Thursday, there followed a series of events that can only be of the Lord. Each night there were noises, sounds coming in off the sea. Each night the houses were shaking – lights swinging – dishes rattling and so on. The people called the Navy, the local authority, even the governments’ seismic measuring unit. NO – there were no earthquakes – the Navy had no exercises – the local authority was not doing any work. SO the neighbours all came over to the hosts house to ask what was going on !! It transpired that the only houses to hear and feel these things belonged to the people, four families, who had come to the BBQ and it was all entirely in line with a prophecy given to them by Peter at the BBQ!! Amazing events signs and wonders ??
We had a free day on Thursday and did a little bit of the tourist thing – sightseeing. The evening meeting in Slagelse had been advertised in the local papers and about 40 people turned out to hear the word and experience Gods healing hand for themselves. I managed to give the word, then Peter gave about 50 words of knowledge. One man had only come because of the adverts and he was instantly healed of FIVE things. Peter even managed to whistle the exact tone of his Tinnitus! Many were healed that night, including me. I had a severe back pain and truly thought I had another kidney stone. Yet when I stood to speak, the pain just disappeared completely, allowing me to speak and minister with Peter for around two hours. We had a great time of fellowship and personal ministry for so many people – only three people, (that we know of), did not come forward for prayer.
And so to Friday and in to Copenhagen with Pastors Stan & Ruth McCuien at the Gospel Church International.
