2015; The year to be surprised by God.

By -
This is going to be an exciting year. It's already started off with a bang and with me starting up in full time ministry, God has already surprised me with new friendships and encouragement about the vision He has given to me for my life. 

As you may see from some of my previous blogs my heart and vision is for the lost to be found and to encourage those who know God to go out and make disciples. And now I am ready to pursue it full time, all the time. 

My Pastor Bernhard Wewege has delivered a great prophetic word of expectation for our Church and as individuals for this year. "Surprised by God". After all God has done and all I am stepping into this year, because of what God has told me, I am grabbing onto this with both hands! There is nothing more exciting and no other way I want to live than to embrace, via faith, the things that God has for me.

The choice to do what God has asked my wife and I to do has not been easy or simple. Ministry is not a 'cruisy' job (my wife has done it for 10 years) and can seem like a risk when I am leaving another career behind. But we are taking the chance. Always bet on God. He has never let me down, ever. 


If God has given you a vision for this year or for your life, it will take you stepping out as a sign of trust to God, but we are fully expecting God to surprise the pants off us with what and how He will fulfill His purpose and plan for us! 

When deciding what to do I said to my wife;

"God has asked us to jump off the cliff and trust that He will catch us. Will you hold my hand and jump with me?" 

I don't know how He is going to catch us, but I am ready to be surprised. 

“But you, Israel, are my servant. You’re Jacob, my first choice, descendants of my good friend Abraham. I pulled you in from all over the world, called you in from every dark corner of the earth, telling you ‘You’re my servant, serving on my side. I’ve picked you. I haven’t dropped you.’ Don’t panic. I’m with you. There’s no need to fear for I’m your God. I’ll give you strength, I’ll help you. I’ll hold you steady, keep a firm grip on you.” Isaiah 41:8-10.

Santa v Jesus.

It's Christmas time. When Santa decides if you get something good depending on whether you have been naughty or nice...... I read an article recently, titled " 10 men Christian women should never marry " on a friends Facebook page and was relieved that my wife did not read this before she married me. If there is one thing I know for sure it's that I did not deserve a woman like my wife. She is a believer and loves Jesus. She has been picky and protective over herself about which men to date and not to date. She is everything and more that I asked God for in a woman. She looks after me and loves me to the max, always doing things for me and thinking of how to bless me in our marriage.

This is your moment.

 God has always shown me a picture (it is a picture to illustrate only) of Him in heaven before I was born and he is getting me off the shelf to put me on earth. He looks at the shelf which has a lot of other people on it and asks Himself “'What does the world need now? Ah Ha! What I created in Jay. He has in him what the world needs”.  And He picks me off the shelf and puts me in the womb.  You have been created and hand-picked for this moment. God cares so much for the people you meet and know that He sent you to make a difference in this world. You are made for this time. He chose you to dwell in. He is not far from you, He is so close. He lives in you. You are made for this moment. Don't hold back. Psalm 139:14The Message (MSG)   and Jeremiah 1:5, Eph 1:4 13-16  Oh yes, you shaped me first inside, then out;     you formed me in my mother’s womb. I thank you, High God—you’re breathtaking!    ...

“When you’re tempted to give up, I choose love.” I heard this song today. It had the above line in it. It really hit home for me. The song was about someone who was at the end of their rope. Had enough. Couldn’t do life any more.   And the singer is saying choose love when you’re wanting to give up. This perplexed me a little. On one hand the person wanting to give up is saying ‘I cant do anything more with my life.’ And the singer is saying, ‘make one more choice, choose….. Love.’ This meant a lot to me as I wanted to give up myself on my dreams and aspirations. As I heard this, the picture I got was of me falling back into God’s arms and relaxing.   I thought ‘That’s strange’. We are so ‘works’ based as the human race. Do, do, do. To get love, do something. Well today I choose to let go of doing. My Father in Heaven is just that, He’s my Father. He loves me so much. He will never stop loving me because I loose my faith in my own abilities. This was the s...
