A new post!

Hi somebody out there...... I can't help but feel this post is a blog-breaking record - at NOT posting something for over a month.

Well truth is the last little while has been hectic. The Christian world (hopefully that's not a cliche) was rocked this last week with the news of Tedd Haggard....here's my take on it.

If you don't come clean of stuff in the right way - you haven't got a hope of recovering. Don't ever try the route of self-preservation - you'll come horribly unstuck. I know a lot of Christian men out there and here that have had sexual problems - and come out of it successfully. Recently I have been going hard at a diet of spiritual deliverance using 'listening prayer'.

God has broken through - time and time again! I get tempted to click in all the wrong places - but I've found God has loosed some things off of me recently - I have so much less of a drawing to the darkness - and much more self-control. Many men are victims of demonic (yes those small scrawny little gremlins who haven't got a chance against the Holy Spirit!).

Most Christians even struggle admitting they could have demons - let alone being umble enough to go to the parts of their soul that hold pain.

Deep - really deep

Hi to all out there - if there is anyone......

Well I was sitting in my usual spot... where my chair meets my behind in my usual seat in the Business Office at IHOP! Ha - who could have thought of a more stimulating environment.

Well I've had a couple of prophecies about travelling etc. etc. and our hearts yearn for mission - so I think God did a funny on me by placing me in the heart of America - with a grey wall in front of me. Want a challenge - just move into my world.

I know I know - quit complaining (young!) man.

where's the simplicity !

Well I've been a thinkin' this week. See - even I can say it in American...

Life these days is wearing me out.... I'm starting to long for the day I can be free of all the clutter of modern living. Jesus is our high priest. Hopefully most of us would therefore aim to emulate His life... His way of living in every way. These days I'm getting so sick and tired.... of worrying about paying the mortgage, of trying to keep a job down, trying trying trying. Ok I know we've gotta live in amongst it all - pay the bills and do the responsible stuff - but I find myself losing my attachment to the things that really matter. I didn't sign up for this... did you?

Where is the simplicity of Christian life these days? I mean honestly.... much of the time I feel like packing it all in..... and seeking for REAL encounter with God. Now you say "Hold on boy... don't be so spiritual - be responsible". I say... surely some of those thoughts and ideas do not come just from my soulish, self-seeking mind!

The church was not made to be an institution. God created it and us - not men. How then can we possibly manage to organize it like He would?
