WHAT CAN BE DONE WITH A STAGNANT POOL?


When a standing pool of water becomes stagnant the signs are evident. Silt-covered debris lay motionless at the bottom, a greenish-brown film coats the surface, and even animals hesitate to drink from the rusty-colored mixture. It is dead water — not of much use! On the other hand, a pool of living water is easily recognized. It is moving water that undergoes a constant process of refreshing. Even if it is serene on the surface there is a bubbling supply of fresh water replenishing the old. Impurities do not remain long before they are filtered through the stones below or washed away in the flow of its life. Yes, it is living water — useful to satisfy the thirst of the soul.

The church today should be characterized as a flowing river of water, which is empowered by the Holy Spirit. Its purity should create a longing in others who thirst for righteousness, to come and drink. The church should be drawing others away from the broken cisterns of this world that cannot satisfy, to the Fountain of Living Water - to Jesus Christ and His unfailing love and grace! (Jer. 2:13) Yet, in so many ways this is not so! How it must grieve the heart of God as He stands over the pool called “the church”. How it must also sadden the heart of pastors who oversee the pools of local fellowships. Oh, there are pockets of fresh water here and there, but they seem to be slowly disappearing in the creeping advance of sinful influences. Worldliness, compromise, half-hearted devotion to God, pride, selfish ambition, prayerlessness, etc are only a partial list of sins that have long threatened to choke the very life out of the church!

So, what can be done? We cannot just stand and lament over the decaying effects of evil on the church! The answer lies in a new call to sustained, fervent prayer. It will take a laying aside of all other agendas until God’s people come under the conviction of the Holy Spirit, express godly sorrow for their worldliness, and repent. Not until they ask that all obstacles and impurities be removed as God releases the floodgates of living water
to wash over their souls once again! Yes, some of us who are in spiritual leadership may need to go first. So let us know, let us press on to know the Lord…He will come to us like the rain, like the spring rain watering the earth.” (Hosea 6:3)

Punting on the river

Whohoooo 40th Wedding Anniversay in July

madordeifi

My Family’s medieival  Church, only holds I think 50 people, was too small for my wedding, but went to have photgraphs there after the wedding cermony in a more  modern church,. It is rather cute isnt it? Often the river below would be flooded and there was a coracle (a welsh fishing boat that  held two people) used  for transporting the churchgoers.

Friendship

Friendship is more than words, its the coming together in one accord.

Friendship is sticking when the world is pulling, is walking together when others are turning,

Friendship is loyalty one to another is sharing the silence or sharing the laughter.

Friendship is not about holding account, about judging, or pointing or trying to fight.

Friendship does not store up, or keep or hold fast , things that where said, or hurts, they don’t last !

Friendship is talking, is sharing, is freedom, its without fear of reproach, without fear of remand.

Friendship is about give and take, about loving each other dispite our mistakes .

Friendship is trusted with dream and with fears, of what will tomorrow bring.

Friendship is a shoulder, a smile or a Hug, is the wiping of tears, is the one extra step.

Friendship is giving the little you have, its about sharing a cookie, a moment, a glance!

Friendship is forgiveness when we fail, when we fall, its about dusting of each other and going on with the Lord.

Friendship is more than words, its the coming together in one accord.

News Letter February 2009

It is good to be able to give you some more news of Free To Live this 2009. As some of you may know I have not been well for several months. And finally highlighted itself in the form of Shingles, and a kidney/bladder problem. This is at present being investigated at the hospital, The good news is the ultra sound and camera cystoscopy showed normal results, praise God! However I do still have white cells, blood and pus in my urine and the doctors and labs cant seem to get to the bottom of this. I rejoice though, in Dr. Jesus. At the last Free To Live service everyone prayed for me - wonderful!

Spiritual warfare does exist, especially in a ministry like this where Satan wants it to stop. He has used several people to try and stop the work. So please do all remember to pray for the work, my health, the family, thank you.

New Web Page and New Logo

Towards the end of last year, I decided to revamp my web page, so with 2009 comes a new look. The fresh look page is interactive with a daily blog, which I do hope you will leave your comments on. At the end of each blog you will see a section that says “have your say” or “comment” click that and leave a comment. I will approve it, and make it public. You can still see my video, and read my book on line, as well as keeping up to date with the calendar, and events of things that are happening. There is also a link to the Paltalk chat room, I will tell you about this later, with opening times daily. So do keep an eye. The page address is www.free2live.org.uk

The chat Room

I have a chat room on Paltalk ( see the webpage on how to get there). Over the last three years the room certainly has had its ups and downs. Last year I decided it was time to close the room and seek the Lord, on His direction for the room and the

ministry. During the three years on Paltalk there have been a number of people who have actively set out to bring disruption , disunity, and slander against the ministry via the chat room.

The attacks against the ministry and me personally, from these people, are consistent, and daily (Please do keep this in prayer). During my time from the chat room, was a time to also recover and recuperate. I felt strongly that Paltalk was a platform that the Lord wanted me to be on. We are called to go into all the nations, armed as stated in

Ephesians 6: 9-12. ( Put on the whole armour of God). The room is now open daily. The

vision for the room is to have it open 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Please pray God raises up Administrators to help fulfil this vision.

The feed back form the room has been very positive, here is what a few of you had to say….

“I am thanking God that the room is open again.

Together we are strong in Jesus Christ.

God is good. ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE THROUGH JESUS CHRIST , WHO STRENGTHEN US.”

“What a wonderful time we had in the room tonight, good praise and worship and prayers for those in need. Good to see the room open again.”

“I’m so happy to see chat room open again , missed you guys ( my other family) and love the music, and the company”.

Free To Live Meeting Oakington

Isaiah 54: 2

“Enlarge the place of your tent, stretch your tent curtains wide, do not hold back; strengthen your stakes”.

It is always encouraging to get testimony’s from people who have been helped through these meetings on the first Saturday of every month. These are some of the comments I have received via email recently.

Hi, Thank you for your kind words and yes, I was truly blessed last night even though it was not until the last moment I got up for prayer.. The power I felt from the Lord knocked me for six. My husband has supported me every step and has been a Christian many years, he felt the presence of the Lord within the meeting, as did my sister who I might add, put her hands up in the air for the first time, to worship the Lord. My journey has been a long often frustrating,

However last night I felt the power of the Holy spirit in my life in a way I had never encountered before.

The last Free To Live Meeting was wonderful. God touched me differently - like

being in a warm bath and resting in Him. The next day was busy. Without Him refreshing and resting me like that, I don’t think I would had the energy to do all that I needed to! Praise God.

An overseas visitor

One of these days I must get back to England to visit with my husband. Your
service was still one of the most amazing services that I have ever been to.

I do have to say we have been very blessed at these meeting, Amy has brought her puppets to perform a ventriloquist sketch. They have been excellent with a profound message, we love Mabel and Grace! And of course Amy herself too!

Do please talk around and bring your friends to these evenings, it is a wonderful
opportunity to meet together, have fellowship. And Meet new people, an opportunity for prayer, and to receive all that God has for us.

I am praying whether to give my testimony in July of this year, I would like this to be an outreach event, are able to support this? and bring your friends? I am sure you know my heart is the reach the lost and the broken and the sick, Isaiah 61: 1-3. I need help to advertise this should I go ahead. Are you able to help here?

I am on facebook.com and Ukchristian.net so do add me if you want to there.
However my time is limited on face book and UKChristian as I want to give more time to the Paltalk chat room

God Bless
