Spiritual Love

Praise be to God!

This past week was awesome! On Saturday, David Rowe (KLF worship leader) led an EQUIP seminar and workshop on worship and encountering God. We provided translation into German in order to open our EQUIP meetings to other churches in order to also bless and equip others to know God and make Him known. Many people encountered God in a fresh and dynamic way and learned how to worship the Lord with their lives. We praise God for the anointing upon David's life and the spiritual insight God is giving him to release the saints into greater intimacy with, and worship of God. The teaching from the day is available to listen to and download on the teaching section of the KLF website.



We are excited about what God is showing us and it is wonderful to see the manifestation of God's revelation as people apply the Word to their lives and their lives to the Word. Yesterday the Lord spoke to us about spiritual love and He showed us the following:
  1. God has given us everything to be a revelation of Him through our knowledge of Him. 2 Peter 1:3
  2. We are graced to reveal God - His presence, His personality and His power!
  3. As we know God's love, we will reveal His love. 1 John 4:7-12; John 14:15; John 13:34
  4. Our goal is to love as God loves us. 1 Tim. 1:5
  5. God's love is spiritual love. Col. 1:8; Gal. 5:22
  6. Spiritual love comes from a pure heart, a good conscience and a sincere faith. 1 Tim. 1:5

Praise be to God for His revelation to us so that we can know Him and make Him known for His glory! Hallelujah!

Yesterday evening we had another awesome opportunity to demonstrate God's love to the homeless and needy at the monthly soup kitchen. We praise God that everyone left satisfied and that spiritual seed was sown into their lives. We rejoice in the opportunities to pray with these precious people for God to save them, deliver them and heal them and we are seeing more and more people respond to the Word and the love that is being shared with them. Hallelujah!



We are looking forward to what promises to be an exciting week with Richard Maybery from South Africa who will be leading a series of EQUIP meetings from the 5 - 9 November on Seeking God's Face. Please check the EQUIP section of the KLF website for details on times and location.

Honouring God with a Spirit of Generosity

Thanks be to God for the riches of His grace that he has lavished on us with all wisdom and understanding!



This week has been another awesome time with God. He is truly anointing our meetings together whether on the streets of Frankfurt or our midweek meetings. The Lord is moving the Church inside out and yesterday we joined several hundred people to march through Frankfurt and proclaim the name of Jesus. We were privileged to be able to have our worship team kick off the march as they filled the inner city of Frankfurt with songs of proclamation and worship. Hallelujah! Click here for more details..



The Lord is revealing His glory to the world through His Body, the Church!

The Lord is continuing to show us what it means to honour Him and today we looked at 2 Corinthians 8:1-9 and the Lord showed us the following:

The Macedonian churches demonstrated a spirit of generosity by,

  1. Living out of the grace they had received. 8:1; Eph. 1:6-8
  2. Living according to the riches of God's spiritual blessings rather than their circumstances. 8:2
  3. Overflowing with joy and welling up in rich generosity because of God's favour and their identity in Christ (generous means "of noble birth"). 8:2
  4. Living sacrificially by going the extra mile. 8:3
  5. Taking initiative and not waiting for instructions. 8:3
  6. Being desperate to serve. 8:4
  7. By doing the unexpected. 8:5
  8. By completing the task. 8:6,11
  9. By excelling. 8:7
  10. By fixing their eyes on Jesus as their example of ultimate generosity. 8:9; Phil. 2:5-11

We honour God when our lives overflow with the riches of God's grace!

This coming week the KLF leaders will be attending the Kingdom Faith Leadership Conference in Horsham, England.

We are also excited about the upcoming EQUIP seminar on the 11 October when David Rowe will be teaching KLF and guests to encounter God in true worship.
