Why are you downcast oh my soul? Do you ever feel down, dwell on your faults and failures. The good news is: God forgives us. Praise God and the darkness will lift.
I used to run a race in school called a dash, but it was long, I even took a fag break half way! We can run the race for God!
God is an all consuming flame. He purges us. When you have a close encounter with God your pride is gone. His Voice is all powerful. When we are weak, He's strong. Don't be timid, fearful, God will uphold you with His righteous right hand. You’ll receive power love and a sound mind. Focus on Jesus! Keep the faith, spread the Word. Jesus has the victory, we shall overcome!
We're all in the race, it began when we accepted Jesus, it ends when we meet Him and get our crowns, it can get difficult, an up hill struggle. Press on! Focus on Jesus to receive the prize.
One friend had weeks to live. In the hospital he used the opportunity to share God's good news. His race wasn’t over he just had a new congregation, people in the hospital. His race hadn't ended, it just took a new route. Don’t waste time.
Don’t let barriers stop you, like age, Moses was 80 when he started his journey with God.
Who calls you on, knows you by name? Jesus. We are like sheep, we know Jesus's voice, He calls us on.
Nothing on earth can kill you until God says your time us up, press on.
Forget conspiracy, false teachings, lies and fear, focus on Jesus. We should be anchored in Jesus Christ, stay clear of fantasy. Let God's Spirit guide, not some silly YouTube video!
We are anchored by faith in Jesus, He’s the only one who can save us. God sent Jesus so we are more than conquers, cleansed from all sin. God gives us strength to rise up like Eagles...it is finished. The curtain in the temple was torn in two, it wasn't a curtain like Dunelm, it was thick, we can now access the grace of God, we don't need priests.
Don't worry. We worry about what we did wrong, we worry about what we might do, we worry about what we have for tea! Worry is not trusting. Worry over health makes us worse.
Even if a sparrow dies God knows. Jesus died to give us new bodies, with meaning and purpose. We are children of the King, act like it, spread eternity to others with your words. Be the person God calls you to be, run your race today!

I have met many “religious” people over the years. Straight away we disagree. When faith meets religion there’s a fight!
In Haverfordwest there’s a monument where Christians were burnt for not following religion.
Religion tells you to follow rituals, faith is about trusting God.
I met one man who was full of Religion, I had faith. He said all we need to be is good. I asked how do you measure how good is enough? Good works save no-one. We all know a man who’s perfect, Jesus, He’s the only way, any other way is lies.
We met one person who had a religious spirit, it affected us for two days, it was demonic.
Jesus compared a despised tax collector to a religious Pharisee, He said he was better! One had faith and one Religion. One repented, and one thought he was good enough, he wasn’t.
You’ll be humbled if you use good deeds to save you. Jesus blood is enough! We’ve been saved by grace, through faith. God doesn’t need help.
Jesus met Nicodemus, He said believers in Him have freedom, through God’s Spirit. You can’t catch or master God’s Holy Spirit, this is a force that goes where it wishes, leading us in what to say and do.
At 10pm one night God’s Spirit literally blew into my life, in my living room, I then knew there was a God, I believed and welcomed Him in.
He’s waiting for you to let Him in. God’s Spirit brings healing, health and life.
We need faith, not Religion. As we pray in faith the demons tremble!
We worship a big God. Use the powerful force of faith, we can’t see but we believe.
Speak life, health, prosperity and faith over those we love. Walls come down in faith!
You’re a child of the most high God. Let your life be filled with the power of the living God. You will stand, you won, you will, you can!
God’s Words are life and health! See beyond the problem, see the healing happen, proclaim it.
Ask and it shall be given. Go back to basics. Shake off any bad habits, any religion, any old thoughts, negative family ties, forget your opinions. Trust and keep it simple! Proclaim and
Be free in Jesus’s name today.
