Trust Believe Faith



Hi
Welcome to another series of teaching of God's word.

In this series I am stirring up to fresh thinking to prompt you to look at some aspects of walking in the spirit and walking in victory and walking with the Lord.

We are in times and seasons that requires some fundamentals to be sharpened so we walk alert, prepared and self disciplined.
In Trust Believe Faith we are looking at aspects that really are different facets that are the same thing, but by distinguishing them we can understand how to apply them to our walk in the Lord.

Don't just think "I know that already!"
Let them be brought to your remembrance, to be refreshed, renewed and refocused.

Faith And The Spirit 2


This week we begin to look at some of the keys to being spiritual and walking in the spirit.
They are not exhaustive but are the foundations to a spiritual life.
Walking in the spirit is not a complex hard thing, actually very simple. What complicates it is our own ignorance due to an unrenewed mind regarding the realm of the heavenlies.

It will not suddenly be all understandable and fully operational in your life. But by discipline and application - being doers of what you hear - little by little every day here a bit there a bit you will become more and more conscious of and aware of the spiritual realm and become more and more skilled in how it functions and how you need to function in it to be most effective.

In The Fields Of The Fatherless




This song Dave Ornellas wrote and sang was the revelation he showed me when I was just a young insecure pastor. He taught me and showed me what a true father was and should be.
He would share with me that the cry of his heart was:
"Lord give me sons to father, or I die!".
Thank God for raising spiritual fathers to father us to maturity.
Dave stepped into this revelation when it wasn't popular, but did it nonetheless with the skill of a master builder and doing it with an anointing that imparted a true sense of the Heavenly Fathers work in your life.
For 15 years I submitted as a son in the faith to this man that God brought into my life. Regardless of all that has happened in my life and ministry, the reason Iam here to day, still serving the Lord and ministering God's word, is because of the discipleship and ministry of this spiritual father in the faith who now worships in heaven.

A Great Tribute



This tribute to a spiritual father, friend and leader is so appropriate.
Thanks to his son Danny for posting this on YouTube.
The season I was privileged to spend with him was a real honour, and a genuine process of growth.

Dave's unconditional love and acceptance was a healing and refreshing;
his passion and desire for God was infectious;
his soldout, steady and constant devotion to Jesus and His word was an inspiration;
his life was an example and model to follow.

He never drew men to himself but ardently desired and pursued the discipling of men for their maturity as sons of God to fulfil the purpose of God.

I am thankful to the Lord for the privilege of knowing Dave and his family and what they meant to me and my family.
