It's time for the lambs to become LIONS, with the heart of THE Lamb

This was how Andrew Leakey inspired everyone to rise up and be the people of God who can turn this Nation back to God. He led us in inspired confessions of faith, that we can be and we can do everything anyone in history has ever done or is now doing. It was a blessed day together as His Family, in His presence where there is fullness of joy!

Isaiah 35: The Message
There will be a highway called the Holy Road.....The people God has ransomed will come back on this road. They'll sing as they make their way home to Zion, unfading halos of joy encircling their heads, Welcomed home with gifts of joy and gladness as all sorrows and sighs scurry into the night.

When our sons were children we went on a walking holiday in Wales. On top of one misty mountain, we looked down and saw an amazing sight - a rainbow halo round each of our heads on our giant shadows reflected onto the clouds below, a 'Brocken spectre'. We are crowned with the glory of God, an 'unfading halo of joy.' The Holy Spirit is the Inebriator! and joy is the currency of heaven.

One elderly lady (who is always where the Holy Spirit action is!) said, 'I always knew there was more;' how right she is! Many were encouraged as prophecy flowed and the Body of Christ built itself up in love.

It was fun too! I won't forget Roy climbing out of the pool and chasing a laughing Pam to her car - she made it in time, but he, undeterred, opened the door and gave her a big wet hug as she left for Wales and home! It's so good to be family!
'People need family and people need friends. Structures and programmes encourage people to work, not to make friends, be family or make relationships.' - Andy.
One of the biggest problems in our Nation has been identified as loneliness; the Church, as Jesus is building it, meets that need.
