After last month’s experimental worship watch in Annalong we’ve decided that it’s time to get more organised and do this regularly again. This time we are planning to do 2 Watches each month – on the 1st and 3rd Fridays of each month. But we are looking to move it around to a few different venues so keep checking in here for details.
We see this is a time to engage with God in worship and focus on him. There is no preaching, teaching or otherwise, but merely creation of a space for God to come among us as we draw close to him. There are no set prayers or prayer agendas, though spontaneous prayer may happen.
We are going to be running an evening of praise and worship. We have done these in various places in the past and we are looking to develop something on a more regular basis in the Mourne area.
If you are not familiar with the idea I shall explain a little further. We see this is a time to engage with God in worship and focus on him. There is no preaching, teaching or otherwise, but merely creation of a space for God to come among us as we draw close to him. There are no set prayers or prayer agendas, though spontaneous prayer may happen.
We have been given the use of the building at Annalong Christian Fellowship, though this is not exclusively an ACF event and as such we are not running this under the name of ACF. We intend to advertise this wider and hope that it will become a truly cross denominational thing. We hope in time to expand this further to include worship leaders from other churches and denominations. But for now we are starting small and it will be a bit experimental as we seek to grow. It will probably just be me leading worship for an hour or so and maybe some CDs.
Feel free to stay for as long or short as you like. There’s no obligation to stay the whole evening. We’d just be happy to have you come and worship with us.
Please use the Contact Form on this site if you would like directions to the building.
I am really keen to serve the Body of Christ by making myself available to lead worship at meetings and events.
I have been leading worship for about 22 years and am experienced in small groups, large teams and on my own with a single guitar.
If you’d like me to get involved in what you are doing please use the contact page on this site or phone me on 07851 848054
Pass through the Gates! All Nations Convocation Jerusalem and Watchmen’s Tour of Israel
Sept. 18 – Oct. 2, 2009
Join us from your City to celebrate the King in His City, Jerusalem!
I was recently asked by the
Jerusalem House of Prayer for All Nations (JHOPFAN) to attend this year’s Convocation in Jerusalem to represent Northern Ireland. Unfortunately, I am unable to attend due to work commitments. If anyone from Northern Ireland is reading this and would like to go and represent us in prayer please get in touch with the JHOPFAN through their web site.
If you have never been before it is a 2 week gathering for prayer and worship for Israel and the nations, including a prayer tour of different locations in Israel.
You can download Registration Forms in many different languages from their web site.
You may or may not be aware that a campaign has been launched to extend Great Britain’s abortion law to Northern Ireland even though the move is opposed by all four of our major political parties in our Province. A number of MPs in Great Britain with the support of the Progressive Unionist Party here have tabled an amendment to the Human Fertilization and Embryology Bill which would impose legalized abortion here.
I am writing this to ask you to pray about this issue and also to consider
signing the petition at http://petitions.number10.gov.uk/Anti-Abortion/?showall=1
Also there is a National Day of Prayer about abortion on Monday 27th October on the date of the 41st Anniversary of the passing of the Abortion Act. See the web site www.imagenet.org.uk
Vision: “A Bowl of Fire”
In April 2005 I saw a vision of a large bowl of fire (like in the Olympic Games). From it people were running out with torches with fire burning from them.
There was a constant stream of them. Then I saw coming behind them skeletons. These too were holding torches. On the burning torches there was written “the fire on the altar must never go out (Leviticus 6 v.13)”.
The vision progressed. Now I saw the same bowl of fire but the people coming out of it were dressed like Roman soldiers in full battle dress – helmets, breastplates etc. In one hand they held burning torches, in the other hand a sword. The skeletons were the same.
Then the vision changed again. Now those who had come from the fire turned round towards the fire. From the fire rose a throne, on which was seated a king in full robes. The people bowed down to worship the king. As they did the light shone from the throne. The light touched the ground and made seed grow that had been previously planted. I saw small green shoots sprouting up and also fields of corn growing tall. I saw weeds that were planted among the corn shrivel and die and a hole appear in the black clouds above.
Interpretation:
I asked God what the skeletons represented. He said that they represent those whose vision and dreams had died but would be rejuvenated in the fire. They are the spiritually dead – both those who are part of churches, even active and involved yet their passion has gone, and those who have chosen not to follow the Lord anymore. They would come forth victorious with renewed vision, passion and dreams.
This vision came to me a few weeks after being at the European Worship Tabernacle gathering
in Switzerland in March 2005. I believe that God is looking for those who will worship Him night and day across Europe. Many now describe Europe as the ‘Dark Continent’ and God is longing that His light return to it. In this vision as people worshipped the King of Kings the light pierced the darkness and new life came. Many breakthroughs will come as we simply worship the Lord all across Europe.
