A body united in love and service

Notes of Meeting 23 November

Habakuk 3 v 17 - 18
17 Though the fig tree does not bud
and there are no grapes on the vines,
though the olive crop fails
and the fields produce no food,
though there are no sheep in the pen
and no cattle in the stalls,
18 yet I will rejoice in the LORD,
I will be joyful in God my Saviour.


A sacrifice of praise - decide to praise God

Picture of Jesus in front of a throne of fire. Multitudes of people were around Him.
In front of Him was One like Him conducting an exquisite sounding orchestra. The multitudes were singing and praising in unison and the conductor was the Holy Spirit leading them in perfect worship of the One before the throne who was Jesus and the fire on the throne which was God the Father. All the people looked to the Holy Spirit conducting who led them to the finale then all worshipped and listened.
The people formed into the shape of a body with Christ as it's head all interacting perfectly it was as though Jesus thought and said something and the message was passed by the Holy Spirit down the backbone to the other areas. All was calm and all working in conjunction with the head which was Christ.
The body was a body of love and service to others, reaching out, helping, interceding , healing and loving mankind.

1 Corinthians 12 v 20 - 28

20 As it is, there are many parts, but one body.
21 The eye cannot say to the hand, “I don’t need you!” And the head cannot say to the feet, “I don’t need you!” 22 On the contrary, those parts of the body that seem to be weaker are indispensable, 23 and the parts that we think are less honourable we treat with special honour. And the parts that are unpresentable are treated with special modesty, 24 while our presentable parts need no special treatment. But God has put the body together, giving greater honour to the parts that lacked it, 25 so that there should be no division in the body, but that its parts should have equal concern for each other. 26 If one part suffers, every part suffers with it; if one part is honoured, every part rejoices with it.
27 Now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it. 28 And God has placed in the church first of all apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then miracles, then gifts of healing, of helping, of guidance, and of different kinds of tongues.

Baruch 5 (Good News Translation)

1 Jerusalem, take off the clothes you have worn in your mourning and distress, and put on the eternal splendour of God's glory.2 Put around you the cloak of God's righteousness. Place on your head the crown of the glory of the Eternal God.3 God will show your splendor to every nation on earth.4 Forever he will say to you:
Your security comes from your righteousness, and your splendor from your devotion to me.
5 Get up, Jerusalem, stand on the mountaintop; see where God, the Holy One, is bringing your children together from the east and from the west. They are rejoicing that God has remembered them.6 Jerusalem, your children were led away by their enemies; they left you on foot, but God is bringing them back to you, carried in royal splendor.7 God has commanded that every high mountain and the everlasting hills shall be made low; he has commanded that the valleys shall be filled and the ground leveled, so that the people of Israel may come safely home in the glory of God.8 At the command of God, forests of fragrant trees will spring up to provide shade for the people of Israel.9 God will lead Israel home. They will return with great joy, guided by his mercy and righteousness, surrounded by the light of his glorious presence.


Romans 13 v 8 -14
Love Fulfills the Law
8 Let no debt remain outstanding, except the continuing debt to love one another, for whoever loves others has fulfilled the law. 9 The commandments, “You shall not commit adultery,” “You shall not murder,” “You shall not steal,” “You shall not covet,”and whatever other command there may be, are summed up in this one command: “Love your neighbour as yourself.” 10 Love does no harm to a neighbour. Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.
The Day Is Near
11 And do this, understanding the present time: The hour has already come for you to wake up from your slumber, because our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed. 12 The night is nearly over; the day is almost here. So let us put aside the deeds of darkness and put on the armor of light. 13 Let us behave decently, as in the daytime, not in carousing and drunkenness, not in sexual immorality and debauchery, not in dissension and jealousy. 14 Rather, clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ, and do not think about how to gratify the desires of the flesh

Make Jesus the centre of your life.

I am the God who opens prison doors. I set the captives free.

Sense of Jesus pouring down the fruits of the Spirit as we praise.

Picture of John the Baptist baptising Jesus - come to the water and repent.



Intercede for lost souls and people on the brink


[There is more to add to this post later once I have some further input from Ann Liddell - Stephen]

Love, Faith, Hope, Joy and Peace

Notes of meeting on 9 November

Luke 17:6 (New International Version)

6 He replied, “If you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be uprooted and planted in the sea,’ and it will obey you.

A picture of Our Lady at the Annunciation where in faith she said "yes" to becoming the Mother of Jesus the Son of God. At His birth she looked on Him in love, wonder and awe.
We too can have this faith, the wonder, this awe or fear of the Lord. If like her we believe in his word we will grow in grace and promise as he did. If we thank him and praise him all things will be revealed and the light of faith in us will stir up men's hearts and draw them to the Heart of Jesus and his Blessed Mother.
The picture then moved to reveal a jewelled crown and the main jewels in the front were LOVE FAITH HOPE JOY. On the base of the crown was Theotokos, all these gifts are here for us in the group if we only open our minds and allow the Spirit to work in us. We cannot earn this crown because it is freely given. We need faith to grasp it and move with the Holy Spirit


Notes of meeting on 16 November

Again a picture of a crown with the four jewels of LOVE FAITH HOPE JOY and again on the base Theotokos. this time there was a cross piece on top saying PEACE.
Our Lady had her arms outstretched and was extending the crown over us inviting us to take it and put it on. When we put it on it will act much like a helmet of protection like that in Ephesians - the Helmet of Salvation.
This crown is a gift and no matter what befalls us as a group and individually we will be at peace. Our minds will be protected from the arrows and games of the evil one,Satan. This crown will be custom made for each one of us and will help us in our work for Our Blessed Mother and her Son Jesus. Our hearts and minds will be so at peace we will be able to do the Father's will and intercede for mankind. Our Mother was smiling and happy as each one took it and placed it upon our heads because we were willing to be instruments for Jesus. Mary and Jesus will never leave us in this mission, for this mission is to help win souls from the darkness into the Glorious Light and even though Satan will try to test us we will stand firm with Jesus at our side.
"Be at Peace"

Jesus the Font of Grace and Mercy

Notes of meeting on 2 November

A picture of many souls leaving the earth and rising to Heaven. The souls seemed to enter an anti-chamber of a large hall. There were two huge doors slightly ajar, the light emanating from them was so strong that it was hard to see the large banqueting table fully laden waiting for the guests to arrive.
Back in the anti-chamber were souls in deep quiet prayer, some already full of light proceeded to the banqueting hall straight away - the Saints. Others produced their hearts for inspection some were nearly all covered in grime with only a little chink of light showing. Angels went on their knees and prayed and I could see Jesus on the Cross and the Angels used Jesus' blood and water and burnished the hearts clean, they then re-clothed the souls in a white garment and they entered the banqueting hall.
A feeling that Jesus was telling us that it is possible to go straight to Heaven. If we sin we have to keep going to the font of Jesus' blood and water; eventually we will shine and be a reflection of Him but not by our deeds but by His Mercy in other words His Mercy will change us.
Also our gifts given by the Holy Spirit are for the building up of His Church and not to be used as some form of kudos or power of our own (this is what Judas did). Jesus gifted his apostles to lead his people to him and the Father . Those same apostles through his mercy and his gifting became Saints.
Jesus the Font , the receptacle, of the Grace of Mercy that frees us by the action of the Holy Spirit.

Galatians 1 v 11-24
Paul Called by God
11 I want you to know, brothers and sisters, that the gospel I preached is not of human origin. 12 I did not receive it from any man, nor was I taught it; rather, I received it by revelation from Jesus Christ.
13 For you have heard of my previous way of life in Judaism, how intensely I persecuted the church of God and tried to destroy it. 14 I was advancing in Judaism beyond many of my own age among my people and was extremely zealous for the traditions of my fathers. 15 But when God, who set me apart from my mother’s womb and called me by his grace, was pleased 16 to reveal his Son in me so that I might preach him among the Gentiles, my immediate response was not to consult any human being. 17 I did not go up to Jerusalem to see those who were apostles before I was, but I went into Arabia. Later I returned to Damascus.
18 Then after three years, I went up to Jerusalem to get acquainted with Cephas and stayed with him fifteen days. 19 I saw none of the other apostles—only James, the Lord’s brother. 20 I assure you before God that what I am writing you is no lie.
21 Then I went to Syria and Cilicia. 22 I was personally unknown to the churches of Judea that are in Christ. 23 They only heard the report: “The man who formerly persecuted us is now preaching the faith he once tried to destroy.” 24 And they praised God because of me.


St Paul a persecutor of the Church became one of it's greatest Saints!

A Royal Priesthood

Notes from meeting of 26 October

A picture of this prayer group along with many others all praising and praying. A light emanated from the praise and prayer of each person and rose upward and as the praise grew the light got bigger and rose further upwards. The light seemed to dispel the darkness and gloom until it reached the very Heavens.

Then four persons filled with light were trumpeting and the light seemed to be conveyed higher and higher to the very Throne of God.

Jesus stood in front of the Throne robed in gold priestly vestments full of light. Jesus then gathered the Light which against him seemed feeble and yet when he gathered it the His Heart it magnified and grew brighter falling back upon us and the world in turn magnifying the light in us, clothing us in a garment of His line it was as though we had become a Holy Army working in the Light of Christ.

With the picture were the words ' You are a Royal Priesthood and a Holy Nation. Remain in Me as I remain in you'.

Hebrews 4 v 14- 16
Jesus the Great High Priest
14 Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has ascended into heaven,Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to the faith we profess. 15 For we do not have a high priest who is unable to empathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet he did not sin. 16 Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.

1 Peter 2 v 9
9 But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light. 10 Once you were not a people, but now you are the people of God; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy.

A picture of drummers drumming as if giving us a wake up call

Isaiah 43 v 1 -13
Israel’s Only Savior
1 But now, this is what the LORD says—
he who created you, Jacob,
he who formed you, Israel:
“Do not fear, for I have redeemed you;
I have summoned you by name; you are mine.
2 When you pass through the waters,
I will be with you;
and when you pass through the rivers,
they will not sweep over you.
When you walk through the fire,
you will not be burned;
the flames will not set you ablaze.
3 For I am the LORD your God,
the Holy One of Israel, your Savior;
I give Egypt for your ransom,
Cush and Seba in your stead.
4 Since you are precious and honored in my sight,
and because I love you,
I will give people in exchange for you,
nations in exchange for your life.
5 Do not be afraid, for I am with you;
I will bring your children from the east
and gather you from the west.
6 I will say to the north, ‘Give them up!’
and to the south, ‘Do not hold them back.’
Bring my sons from afar
and my daughters from the ends of the earth—
7 everyone who is called by my name,
whom I created for my glory,
whom I formed and made.”
8 Lead out those who have eyes but are blind,
who have ears but are deaf.
9 All the nations gather together
and the peoples assemble.
Which of their gods foretold this
and proclaimed to us the former things?
Let them bring in their witnesses to prove they were right,
so that others may hear and say, “It is true.”
10 “You are my witnesses,” declares the LORD,
“and my servant whom I have chosen,
so that you may know and believe me
and understand that I am he.
Before me no god was formed,
nor will there be one after me.
11 I, even I, am the LORD,
and apart from me there is no savior.
12 I have revealed and saved and proclaimed—
I, and not some foreign god among you.
You are my witnesses,” declares the LORD, “that I am God.
13 Yes, and from ancient days I am he.
No one can deliver out of my hand.
When I act, who can reverse it?”

Increase, enlarge our hearts.

Widen your tent

Isaiah 54 v 1-8
The Future Glory of Zion
1 “Sing, barren woman,
you who never bore a child;
burst into song, shout for joy,
you who were never in labor;
because more are the children of the desolate woman
than of her who has a husband,”
says the LORD.
2 “Enlarge the place of your tent,
stretch your tent curtains wide,
do not hold back;
lengthen your cords,
strengthen your stakes.
3 For you will spread out to the right and to the left;
your descendants will dispossess nations
and settle in their desolate cities.
4 “Do not be afraid; you will not be put to shame.
Do not fear disgrace; you will not be humiliated.
You will forget the shame of your youth
and remember no more the reproach of your widowhood.
5 For your Maker is your husband—
the LORD Almighty is his name—
the Holy One of Israel is your Redeemer;
he is called the God of all the earth.
6 The LORD will call you back
as if you were a wife deserted and distressed in spirit—
a wife who married young,
only to be rejected,” says your God.
7 “For a brief moment I abandoned you,
but with deep compassion I will bring you back.
8 In a surge of anger
I hid my face from you for a moment,
but with everlasting kindness
I will have compassion on you,”
says the LORD your Redeemer.


Many people united as one.
Many voices singing with one voice.
Many hearts loving with one heart.
Many hearts pulsing and beating with the love of one heart - that of Jesus
