Reflection, Still Worship

Saturday 19th March 2022

Mizpah collective and Still worship band, along with some new and familiar faces relocated to Kalamunda Church of Christ on Saturday 19th March. And what a night!

What a blessing the provision of this space was to us all, enabling us to gather, to seek the Father, expectant to encounter Him as we made space to worship Him! 

(Thanks Dave, Jo, Jennie and all at Kalamunda for welcoming us with such generosity!!!)


When we gather to worship, with one heart, the Father promises to meet us. He inhabits our praises!

 

Matthew 18:20 “For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them.”

 


“Blessed to be a blessing…. 😊

What a wonderful God we serve🙌 Every time we gather, he takes us deeper into Him…how lovely are your dwelling places ❤️”

In preparation for the night, we meditated on John 6:25-40 “Jesus the Bread of Life”, and we were reminded that He is our very life - our sustenance - our provision - our hope - the air we breathe! He is the only one that can lead us to eternity, and the only one who can satisfy, just as the scripture reads…

 

27 Do not work for food that spoils, but for food that endures to eternal life, 

35 Then Jesus declared, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.”

 

I want to highlight the following verses:

28 Then they asked him, “What must we do to do the works God requires?”

29 Jesus answered, “The work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent.”

 

I love that all we have to do is believe! Not perform, or strive or earn our place which is operating in our own strength, but when we believe in the one he has sent - Jesus - it takes all pressure and focus off us and points back to the Father! Jesus always points to the Father and so should we! …

 

SO SIMPLE! BELIEVE!!

 

Remember the Israelites in the wilderness were given fresh manna each day, and only had to collect a portion for the day, believing God would provide DAILY. 

 

Were they to work harder to earn more? Did they need to collect as much as they could for fear of not having enough?

No! Just enough for each day. This was an exercise in trust and obedience. 

To BELIEVE God would do what He promised, to BELIEVE He was their provision…

 

HE IS OUR PROVISION. HE IS OUR PORTION. Daily come to Him in surrender, trusting He will lead.

 

What freedom to ‘do’ the work of God when all that we have to ‘do’ is BELIEVE! And HE does the rest!

 

This is such an encouragement in light of the prophetic word we heard at the start of the evening… The Lord is requiring us to lift our eyes above the circumstances, above our needs, above our worries and see through His eyes, His perspective. He is enough. BELIEVE He is the Bread of Life!

 

Lord, forgive our unbelief. We choose to believe! Stir up our faith!

 

John 6:40 

For my Father’s will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in him shall have eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day.”

 

A change of season:

“I am calling you to a time of standing, of rising up, looking up; being lifted up to sit with me in the Heavenly Places. It is a new season where I see you now as warriors marching; declaring the victory your King has already established.”

(Portion of prophetic word - Lynn)

 

I wonder, what God has in store for us all, as we begin to rise up, full of faith and declare and BELIEVE what he has already done???

 

Until we meet again! May the Lord watch between us xx
