A Church Alive is worth the drive
I am excited about what God is doing and about to do in your life and the life of the church at large. Across the North and the Western regions of Charters Towers, I sense that God’s set time to favour this area of Australia and its people has come. A hunger for God, His presence, His holiness and His power will draw people again to the household and life of faith.
The fledgling church described in the book of Acts, was a spirit filled church, a word- based church, signs and wonders followed the believers and prayer and boldness was the order of the day. They prayed daily, they fellowshipped daily, they searched the scriptures daily and the Lord added to their number daily.
Pressure and persecution did not cause the church to buckle, but on the contrary caused the believers to draw on the unseen resources of God and caused the apostle Paul to declare, “I know in whom I have believed. 2 Tim 1:12
Faith and a believing heart will see the promises of God materialise despite our situations and circumstances. To reign as kings in the realm of life (Rm 5:17) fulfils the Genesis 1:28 command, to be fruitful and multiply: fill the earth, subdue it and have dominion….

The Lord Has Provided: Good Friday 2026
God in Genesis 22 commanded Abraham to take “his only son” and sacrifice him there on one of the Mountains of Moriah. God did not want Abraham’s son, but He did want his obedience. It was here that God demonstrated His love for Abraham by providing him with a ram caught in the thorns and thicket for a sacrifice.
2,000 years later it was on those same mountains of Moriah that God gave “His only Son Jesus” to demonstrate His love for an entire world being crushed by the weight of its own sin. Our God does not require the sacrifice of our children. On the contrary, God sacrificed His Son for us. What a mighty God we serve, The Lord Has Provided!!!

Guard That Good Thing.
In the same way that Adam was commanded to keep and guard the garden, the apostle Paul commands Timothy to Guard the Trust, That Good Deposit and that Good Thing. That Good Thing is of course the gospel entrusted to Paul, Timothy and now to us here today!!!
Paul in his own day could see a great apostasy and enemy against believers and the church. Wolves from the outside and perverters from within. Guarding the trust is now even more urgent in this closing dispensation of time. Our need to defend, declare and live the gospel has never been more pressing.

Revelation: The Veil Is Taken Away
Many, when reading the word of God find the scripture obscure, confusing, and even as enlightening as a phone book. But this should not be. Paul said in 2 Cor 3:14-15 that when one turns to the Lord, the veil over our hearts is taken away in Christ.
Revelation, which is the unveiling of God’s word, is the spiritual principal outworked, as when Jacob removed the stone from the mouth of the well so that Rachel and the flock could drink. Revelation is necessary, so that you may drink and draw life from the wells of salvation.

What Is Truth
The worlds demise is not climate change, unstable political and financial systems, and even more unstable politicians or even Covid 19, 20 or 21. Put simply, the rejection or acceptance of Jesus Christ will be the rise and fall of individuals, nations and whole regions encompassing many nations.
Definitive, sure and steadfast is the terminology used by Jesus the Nazarene standing before Pilate. Without ambiguity declaring without compromise without hesitation and totally without shame and fear.
Jesus responds to Pilate
Jn 18:37 …For this cause I was born, and for this cause I have come into the world, that I should bear witness to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth hears My voice.
Jn 18:38 Pilate said to Him, and is the title of the message today “What is truth?”.

Rise Up You People Of Power
Micah 7:8
"Do not rejoice over me, my enemy; When I fall, I will arise; When I sit in darkness, The Lord will be a light to me."
We have to decide to rise up, in the authority given to us by Jesus Christ. As we are in the end times, time is running short. We cannot afford to wallow in defeat, as the devil will devour us. Make the decision to arise. And keep on rising up!
Proverbs 24:16 "For a righteous man may fall seven times and rise again, but the wicked shall fall by calamity."

The Joy Of The Lord Is My Strength
There is great joy in the house when the prodigals come home. The world may not forget our past failures and sins, but our hearts are filled with joy as the burden of sin is removed.
One of the best defense systems that the believer has is the joy of the Lord. Our adversary, knowing this, tries to rob us of our joy, for he knows it is the source of our strength, as stated by Nehemiah 8:10. Paul commanded the Philippian Church to “rejoice in the Lord always, and again I say rejoice.“ Now that is a command!!!

A Spirit Is Being Released
The bible and history records the demonically inspired and empowered missions of Pharaoh, Haman, Hitler and Hamas. Their common mandate separated by thousands of years is to eradicate, extinguish, annihilate and obliterate.
To combat the evil and wicked influence of an ancient spirit sent to destroy the people of God across the globe, the Spirit of Elijah is once again being poured out on God’s people who will walk in that divine authority. These are the days of Elijah. Will you rise up and be the Elijah of the day?

A Craving Soul Is A Thriving Soul:
If you and I want to grow in God, go from strength to strength and from glory to glory, then an appetite for Him is a way of life. David expressed this deep desire while yet in the wilderness Ps 63:8 My soul follows hard after You.
Seeking and searching in a manner which borders on desperation, panting, clinging, calling, thirsting and even fainting. Ps 84:2 “My heart and my flesh cry out for the living God.“ Oh yes, a craving soul is a thriving soul!!! Go from survival to revival and return to your first love today.

Building Spiritual Momentum:
Feeling a little flat? Could use more than a triple strength coffee and a Berocca? But it’s not enough because your tiredness comes from within. Keeping your inner spiritual life benefits every other aspect of our lives.
Prov 17:22 A merry heart does good like medicine, but a broken spirit dries the bones.
Coming to David, as a fugitive in the wilderness running and hiding from King Saul, were 400 men described as being in Distress, in Debt and Discontented. These transformed men later became King David’s Mighty Men. Famous throughout the land, not because of their dysfunction but because of their deeds.

A Man Sent From God
The opening of John’s Gospel Chapter 1 is found some of the most beautiful and profound verses paving the way for the coming of Jesus the Messiah. We are introduced to a man sent from God whose name was John (the baptist).
As believers, our job description and mandate is no different to John the baptist. That being to bear witness to the Light. That Light of course is Jesus. Our lives are our testimony, all giving evidence to the life changing encounter that we had with Christ. We too have been “sent from God” for this purpose.
