Family Time

Glory to God!

Yesterday we had a wonderful time together as a church family as everyone participated in the meeting.

God's Word to us was brought through the children's talk as the Lord spoke to us about the Gift of the Holy Spirit and how the believer can only truly experience God if s/he opens the Gift and tastes and sees that the Lord is good (Psalm 34:8)! After encouraging the children to enjoy the fellowship of the Holy Spirit every day in prayer and reading God's Word, they were also given a key to fully experiencing God's presence and power by "risking for His glory" - stepping out to do what only God can do. We then asked everyone in the meeting with a need for healing to go to the front so that the children could lay hands on them and heal them. After the children laid their hands on the sick, those that could test whether they had been healed did so and testified to feeling significantly better as well as to being healed! We praise God for His faithfulness and we give Him all the glory for His wonderful presence and power in our meetings.

After witnessing God's power at work through our young Kingdom builders, we spent time with an "open mic" for anyone to publicly give thanks to God for His work in their lives in 2009. This precious time when our people testified to God's faithfulness, God's miraculous healing, provision and restoration has been included on our weekly podcast which you can listen to here...

We are looking forward to an exciting 2010 as we continue to move with God! On the 17 January we will be having our KLF Vision Day - a time to hear what's on God's heart for KLF for 2010 and how we as a church will respond to His direction.

Quote of the week:

"Taste and see that the Lord is good." Psalm 34:8

Restoration

Glory to the God!

The Lord is speaking to us about 2010 being a year of restoration. It is His will for His people to walk in wholeness and fullness of life, both individually and corporately. The Lord is showing us that the restoration process takes place as we align ourselves with His Truth and walk by faith and in obedience to His will. As we do so, we will see God's grace released for the restoration of health, relationships and resources as well as the unveiling of God's assignments, purposes and strategic direction for us.

Yesterday the Lord spoke to us about Divine Exchange and this is what He showed us:

• Jesus became man in order to completely identify with us. Phil. 2:5-8
• Jesus can identify with us when we are tempted because He was tempted. Heb. 2:14-18; 4:15
• Jesus can identify with the consequences of our sin because He endured the pain and suffering of our sin on the cross. Isaiah 53
• Jesus clothed Himself with humanity so that we could be clothed with Divinity! 2 Cor. 8:9; 2 Peter 1:4
• The appropriation of the Divine Exchange occurs as we trust in God and He renews and restores us. Is. 40:31
  

"...those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength" Isaiah 40:31

• To "wait" is to be entwined in God.
• To "renew" is to exchange.

The Lord then showed us how to be entwined in Him and how to be restored with the following:

1. Fix your eyes on Jesus and not on your circumstances or pain.
2. Worship the Lord and enter into His presence.
3. Allow God to envelop you with His presence.
4. Entwine yourself in God.
5. Exchange your imperfection for His perfection (your sin for His forgiveness; your pain for His healing; your sorrow for His joy; your anger for His grace etc)
6. Thank God for the exchange and for what you have now received.
7. Meditate on what He has graced you with.

We praise God for teaching us how to appropriate the Divine Exchange and how we can walk in wholeness and fullness of life! Hallelujah!

Quote of the week:

"For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, so that you through his poverty might become rich." 2 Cor. 8:9

KLF Training Days

"To him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb be praise and honour and glory and power for ever and ever!" Rev. 5:13

This past weekend KLF had the privilege of having Mike and Kay Chance as guest speakers at our KLF Training Days. These Training Days are designed to equip the saints by being anchored in God's Truth! Over 3 days we explored the Book of Revelation and received insight into God's plan for these Last Days and what is to come. Mike and Kay are anointed teachers of God's Truth and are instrumental in bringing God's Word to the Body of Christ both in Germany and in England where they are regular speakers at Kingdom Faith College in Horsham. We are excited about the Christ-exalting message they brought this weekend that has led us into a greater revelation of Christ's majesty and authority! The teaching sessions will be available here...

Yesterday evening we had another opportunity to share God's love with the homeless and needy at our monthly homeless mission. It is always exciting to bring the lost into God's presence and watch the Holy Spirit do His work amongst them. We are seeing more and more people begin to trust us and give us permission to speak into their lives to bring healing and hope in often desperate situations. Glory to God!

Quote of the week:

"Hallelujah! For our Lord God Almighty reigns. Let us rejoice and be glad and give him glory! For the wedding of the Lamb has come, and his bride has made herself ready. Fine linen, bright and clean was given her to wear." Rev. 19:6-8
