[i]Strengthened with all might, according to his glorious power, unto all patience and longsuffering with joyfulness; Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light: Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son: In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins: Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature: For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: And he is before all things, and by him all things consist. And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence. For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell; And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven.
Well my friends I've returned from the second anual street preaching conference in Wales' capital city Cardiff, and what a blessed time it was to have fellowship with other like minded christians who have such a zeal to proclaim the undiluted Word of God on the streets.
There was not as much resistence to the gospel this time, praise the Lord, although we did at one point think we would have to open air in the pouring rain.
It was such a blessing to see so many 'seasoned' preachers giving the word to people and to see passers by stop and listen and take intrest was a great encouragement.
But the Lord wasn't only working in the open air but also in all of our hearts bringing unity between us, yes we have some differences but what do they matter when the Lord Jesus is Who we have in common.
I believe that the Lord is drawing His bride together in a very open way in the past few years, this website is an example, where the people of God can collect and encourage one another without any boundaries such as distance or culture, have you not also noticed it in your location, likeminded believers, who are disillusioned by what their ministers have watered the precious gospel of the Christ on the cross down to, are coming together. We've noticed it in our fellowship the Lord is drawing us together, 'Come out from among them My people'
So I met with the people of God this weekend and i wanted to lift up the Lord and praise Him for such mercy to us and a wonderful few days blessed by His prescence.
