Soul Space Axminster Seeking God in everyday life

04/09/2022

Having had a rainy morning, it's so good to listen to the rain quietly refresh the land and wonder what the next season will bring. We looked this morning at the verses in Matthew 25:35 onwards that say, 'For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink. I was a stranger and you invited me in ...'
Also the Verse for the day from 1 Kings 2:3 (NET) 'Do the job the LORD your God has assigned you...'
We prayed that the future project we hope to begin soon here will get the go-ahead. Amen

So this morning, the Millwey Community Centre is open for prayer for the next couple of hours. We'll be thinking this morning particulalry what a christian response to the emerging energy crisis may be, particularly what we can do in our locations and communities.
Come alone, have a cuppa, a chat together and with our Heavenly Father.

Meeting for prayer this morning we looked at the vision Ezekiel had of the valley of dry bones ... at least until God spoke through Ezekiel and a dry valley was brought to life. But we are reminded to walk where God leads us, to speak as God gives us the words and SEE just how much blessing he has planned come to life. Amen

Gathering for Prayer

Millwey Community Centre Axminster

Sunday 7th August @ 9 am

01/05/2022

So this morning, we've gathered int he Community Centre on Millwey and spent some great time talking with God and with each other and sharing our heart for all that God wants to do here.
Such a precious time.

We know a little of how much God is seeking to bring blessing to this area, we sense his invitation to be part of that with him and we are excited to see and meet those people God will introduce us to over the next few months and into the years.

If the little we sense is but the first expressions of God's love for this place and these people, then we look forward to seeing blessing up on blessing being gifted into this community, and the priviledge we have in seeing this begin.

Blessings upon Millwey, the people of this area, the businesses, clubs, community groups and youth outreach. May you know the benefits of God's love for you beginning to regenerate, renew and rebuild.

Amen.

Day 40 - Prayer about a new christian community on Millwey.

This is perhaps one of the most open questions that remains about the whole 40 days of prayer in Axminster series of events.
Sundays throughout the time of prayer have been about Church, about those communities of people who meet and engage in regular corporate worship. So the question that really begs the question, is really, is this what we're looking at for this area of town.

In church this morning, I was chatting with some folk from church and really this exact question came up. And I have to admit, the answers that I was hoping to get from God are more vague, more faith requiring, more feeling out for what the future than I had hoped for.
I suppose in any of our minds, the hope is for a BIG God event; a definite affirming word that says, yes ... do THIS.... whatever it would to be. And I'm left feeling less certain but more excited than ever about ministry on Millwey.
In the sessions we've had, the sense of God's presence has been electric. My own prayers have been encouraged and I've felt the blessing from being there. So I think I need to see where that goes.
We had a word given last Wednesday which was really a 'Follow Me!' from God. And I feel that all we can do is follow. The steps are in HIS hands and I'm the one in catch up mode. But I'd rather it be that, than forging on without knowing God's blessing throughout it all.
If I'm pressed, I know that there is a desperate need for a Christian community up on Millwey. I'm convinced that God has his hand on the area and that he's poised to do some great work, some great outpouring of blessing in that area and he needs people to be there on the ground. And I know that I want to be part of seeing what God is doing, to sense his presence and his blessing - the excitement of seeing God at work; to see God work miracles and bring blessing in the lives of people and bring transformation for individuals, but also for families and the community.
I get it, and I'm in. I think I always was ... from the time I felt God give me the nudge back in April.

I just have one question/prayer .... How?

Day 38 - Prayer for those in Marriages and Partnerships.
I really hope todays rain isn't leaving anyone feeling a bit of a damp squid ...
I have the blessing of having met someone who gets my quirks and still stops around to see how I turn out. I am amazed at Marriage! I'm amazed that two people can find each other in the random sprawl of life, and spend a lifetime just finding more and more about each other and finding the ongoing revelation of that fascinating enough to keep going back for more.
I'm amazed so many work ... and I'm thankful that when God is given the right place in that marriage, he does a good gluing job.

But I pray for those who are finding marriage and relationships hard.
I pray for peace where there may be little peace.
I pray for compassion, where hearts may be growing cold.
I pray for forgiveness where wrongs have been done.
I pray for love to flourish and real commitment to grow between partners.
I pray for God to act and bless.
I pray for God to take up residence.
I pray for God to be honoured by both sides in a marriage.
As one quote goes, I pray for two imperfect people to refuse to give up on each other. Powered by God.

Day 37 - Prayer for those who live alone.
I think this week it's really fitting that the focus is on relationships, and today I'm mindful of not just thinking about the lonely alone, or those forced to live alone, but those who find themselves blessed to be able to live a life without many of the distractions that living with others, be that family, a partner or in some other situation naturally brings.... blessed moments of time spent in prayer or meditation. I'd say I'm jealous, but God meets with us whatever our circumstances. The important thing is setting out to find him, whatever!
I've found God speak to me in the quiet of a car, looking out over scenes of beauty, and I've found God speak loudly in the noisiness of family live. I've found solitude a great healer and I've found moments were the embrace of love from my daughter have contained within them the most profound moments of spiritual healing. Such a moment happened the other night when our 5 yr old comes over to me and says - 'Daddy, I've just been praying about your bad back. Is it better yet?'
Blessing are found wherever we look for God and choose to listen for him and his Spirit.
