January 1999

Did you do those things-you planned to last year? Did you achieve those goals you set for yourself?

Don't worry! Remember God is the God of New beginnings. It was Jesus who said "You should not be surprised at my saying ‘You must be born again’." 1999 can now be for you the year of the Lord's favour! Take hold of this year with hands that are both prayerful and willing to be "got dirty" in His service and I believe this will be a phenomenal year!

Last year the Lord clearly called us to emphasise what we stand for as a Church - FAITH FAMILY & FIRE. The opportunity for all to be Born Again into a spiritual life and to worship as part of a Faith declaring community. The aim to be a Family of Christians in the Epping Forest area who actively support one another and the family generally in society.

To be a Church seeking not just naturally, but also supernaturally, to be strengthened, anointed and guided by the Fire of the Holy Spirit

In 1998 the Lord spoke through prophecy and confirmed that He desired to add in new members to the family here. Both new believers, but also in a special way mature believers called by God to add a further dimension to the work of God here. God has been keeping His word!

Can I say if you have been part of this Church for many years, the Lord honours your faithfulness. If you are relatively new, welcome you have been called for this time. If you are "just looking" - "seek and you will find!"

Looking forward to sharing with you over the coming days,

Your friend in Christ,

Pastor Paul.
