The Bible contains such great advice and wisdom. Lets look at a scripture from Ephesians.

Lets unpack a bit about this scripture. It all sounds very scary when we refer to the devils’ schemes, but unfortunately there are dark forces working against us. But God has given us instruction what to do to deflect the enemies’ schemes to thwart negative situations that can come before us, as well as keeping our peace in a storm.

What does putting on the armor of God look like? It is a discipline but praying regularly about our needs and the needs of communities and others, claiming and declaring God’s promises over our lives and meditating on Bible scriptures can thwart the enemies’ plans to reek havoc, so pray with boldness and declare Gods promises over our lives.

Next up we are going to talk about Psalm 97v10

If we love the Lord, we should hate evil. What does evil look like? Well, it can come in all kinds of forms, but whatever the evil is we can take hope in this Psalm that those who are faithful in him regularly praying, confessing, and reading the Bible he will deliver us from wicked evil that the enemy wants to throw at us. So pray, read the word of God regularly and confess any sinfulness in our lives and he will deliver us from evil.

If you are curious about the Christian faith, come along to our family service every Sunday. Learn how to claim the promises of God that can help protect you in your life. Doors open at 10.45am for free refreshments and drinks. Our service then starts at 11.15am.

We will be posting our morning scripture Facebook posts on our blog so that you can read up on them later. Not only that but for our church members who do not use Facebook and want to see them as well. So we start off with scripture from Psalm 91.

What does this scripture mean? This is a promise we can claim from God. Those who spend time with God in prayer and meditate on his word will rest in him and God will be with them in all circumstances. Today could be filled with challenges but God is our fortress, and we can trust in him to bring us through whatever the day holds for us, so fear not God is with us.

Next up scripture from Psalm 33.

What does this scripture mean. From time to time friends, family and whoever is close to us can fail us. It could be a simple argument, or a very complicated situation that causes people to hurt one another. What this Psalm is saying is when we are saved and the Lord is our shepherd he will never fail us. Jesus is with us in every situation no matter what it is. It could be that you made a mistake and some others will turn from you because of it and fail, but Jesus will never turn away from us and never leaves or forsakes us. What a friend we have in Jesus and what a hope we have in him.

If you are curious about the Christian faith, come along to our family service every Sunday where you can claim promises in the Bible like those mentioned in Psalm 91 and 33. Doors open at 10.45am for free refreshments and drinks. Our service then starts at 11.15am. We will be happy to see you. Have a great day

We are fortunate that we serve a God who has integrity and a God that keeps his promises. One of the most famous promises he made goes right all the way back to Genesis. This one was him putting his rainbow in the sky, specifically mentioned in Genesis 9 v 13 displayed below.

Why did God put his rainbow up in the sky, it was to make the promise that God would never destroy the earth with water and flooding ever again, after the great flood in which Noah, his family and all of the worlds’ animals were saved shielded by the ark.

There are thousands of promises in the Bible, and the good news is you can claim them for your own life. Here is another promise of God in the book of Psalms.

Psalm 100:5

“For the Lord is good and his love endures forever; his faithfulness continues through all generations.”

This is a promise of God being faithful to us through every generation, from generations who lived thousands of year ago to our generation today. It means for those who are in him, his love will endure and be with us forever.

Lets also think about the promises prophesied with regards to Jesus’ first coming. God promised Jesus would come throughout thousands of years in the Old Testament. God kept everyone of those promises and we saw Jesus come over two thousand years ago taking our sin on the cross, so we didn’t have to.

Let’s conclude. If you are in a tough spot in your life or realise there is more to life, then why not consider claiming the promises of God. We are open every Sunday where we have a family service where you can learn more about the promises of God, and how they qualify for your life today. The church doors open on Sunday from 10.45am where we will be serving hot drinks and treats. Join us. You will be warmly welcomed.

Grace Canton a new church plant based at Church in the Avenue had their first church service on Sunday just gone. Here is a photo of the service.

“As grace extends to more and more people it will increase thanksgiving to the glory of God.”

A very popular scripture of the Bible is found in the book of Philippians, specifically Philippians 4 v 6, displayed below.

What a wonderful promise of God. How often do we get anxious about things going on in our lives. Paul is saying here do not get anxious. You do not have to be anxious we just have to trust God. God is saying pray to him about all of your situations going on whether they are good or bad, and make requests to God, then we are promised that God will bring us peace guarding our hearts and minds.

Whatever is going on in your life pray. Remember Jesus is the one that can calm the storm as he did when he was in the boat with his disciples in the Sea of Galilee. Jesus is the one who can bring calmness to your situation.

The title for this article is Prayer and deep relationship with the father can change your situation. So if you haven’t been praying as much, or are someone teetering on whether you should believe in God and give it a go, then start praying and wait for him to come in and change your situation, because he really can, and before you know it you will have a testimonial that glorifies God and his faithful promises.

If you are someone who would like to know more about the Christian faith, then why not visit us. We are open every Sunday with doors opening at 10.45am where we serve hot drinks and treats. We will be happy to explain more to you and share our faith with you.
