Truth Like a Ton of Bricks

Some stories that are a testament to the indomitable spirit that emerges when we face the infernos of life, the gatherings where divine wisdom is sought, and the moments when the truth hits us like a ton of bricks.

In a world aflame, a woman flees the encroaching wildfires, convinced that her newly built haven had succumbed to the merciless flames.
Yet, amidst the chaos, a miraculous touch spared her abode, leaving it untouched by the fiery tempest.
This story resonates with the miraculous protection of God, a theme echoed throughout these testimonies.

The Queensland Prophetic Council,

a gathering of believers, convened in early December to pray, prophesy, and discern the word of the Lord for 2024.
Such gatherings are wellsprings of divine insight, where the faithful seek guidance, assurance, and a deeper connection with the divine.

A pastor and his wife prayed for a soul in distress, lifting the mental fog and dispelling delusional thoughts.
The healing power of prayer, a recurrent theme in these stories, transcends the physical and touches the very core of our being.

The question echoes, “Is the Bible true?”
A challenge posed, forcing us to grapple with the foundational truths of our faith.
The words of Ezekiel 11:19 resonate, promising an undivided heart and a spirit renewed—a promise that invites contemplation and conviction.

Pausing, removing oneself from the chaos of motion, allows clarity to emerge.
In the grand tapestry of life, these moments of stillness unveil the big picture, reminding us of the importance of reflection.

Seed planters, pivotal figures in our journey, leave lasting imprints. Grandmothers, friends, mentors—like Bill Winston—shape our understanding, challenging us to draw a line on our belief in the scriptures.

The call to go forth into new territories, to put our foot where great faith can flourish, resonates with the essence of Christian life.
It urges us to embrace challenges, knowing that, ultimately, they work for our good and lead to ultimate victory.

In the midst of adversity, a voice echoes, “Prepare the way of the Lord.”
This is no time for slumber or half-hearted Christianity, but a call to focus solely on Jesus, fully abandoned to His powerful coming.

The stories shared today transcend individual experiences; they resonate with a collective strength that emerges when the family of believers gathers in one mind and accord.
As we hear these tales, may they inspire us to steward our own fields and embrace the transformative impact of faith in the marketplace and beyond.

In conclusion, let these stories echo in our hearts, reminding us of the transformative power of God’s grace.
As we ascend and govern, seated in the glory, let Psalm 24 be our anthem for 2024.
May we collectively embrace the call to navigate the challenges, redeem the time, and ascend to new heights, governed by the glory of the Almighty.

It is a call to let Him lead, to be in control, and to declare Him as the Lord of our lives and our church—holy, abandoned to Him only.

Allow me to recount a tale of a journey where a part of the tour had to be put off due to the risky territories guarded by killer gangs infiltrating from Pakistan.
In the face of adversity, the choice to let God lead becomes paramount, a decision that shapes the course of our lives.

Now, let me share with you the powerful testimony of Mike Bickel.
His journey, marked by challenges, underscores the importance of forgiveness and the enduring power of God’s love.
Mike’s resilience in the face of difficulties speaks volumes about the transformative nature of a life surrendered to the Lord.

In a world where forgiveness seems fleeting, the journey towards it is often challenging.
A poignant reflection comes from one who says, “I knew I must forgive, and tried, but it couldn’t last.”
It’s a testament to the struggle we face in surrendering our hurts and pain to the One who can truly heal.

People continues to share that armed with the assurance of God’s guidance, one sought to excel in all that was entrusted to him.
This echoes the profound truth that surrendering to God’s plan doesn’t lead to stagnation but empowers us to excel in the assignments laid before us.

We are living in a John 3:16 era, an imminent revival focusing on souls and the Great Commission.
The challenges we face may seem like setbacks, but the Lord declares, ‘I am stepping in to set you up and send you forth as my select arrow.’
It is a divine orchestration, a recalibration for a greater purpose.

A decade after a personal revelation, someone published “Counting To God:
A Personal Journey Through Science to Belief.”
This reflects the transformative power of surrender, a journey from scepticism to a deep-rooted belief in the Creator.

Isaiah 49:17-18 speaks of God’s love and commitment, assuring us that even when we feel abandoned, He remains faithful.
In the face of difficulties, this assurance becomes our anchor.

Peace, the kind that anchors our souls in God’s promises, ensures that our decisions and actions in business resonate with the kingdom purpose and reflect the character of Christ.
It is a peace that surpasses understanding, born out of complete surrender.

As we hear these stories, let us be inspired to embrace the truth that surrendering to God is not a sign of weakness but a declaration of strength. In our surrender, we find victory, and in letting Him lead, we discover the path to true fulfilment.

May we all experience the transformative power of surrender, and may our lives be a testimony to the greatness of our Lord.
