Been awhile! So much going on, some very good and some 'eye of the storm'. But GOD is faithful and we're still standing, more refined, more humble, wiser and closer to Him than before, so we win!
The team are in a time of transition, all seeking first His kingdom and righteousness, open to God for the way forward, cheering each other on to fulfil our destinies and God's plan.
We have been so encouraged by the way some of the folk who meet with us are soaring on eagle's wings, going from strength to strength and glory to glory in His purposes; we'll have testimonies on the blog soon. The website will also be getting a belated update!

Our times of pursuing His presence together at Sandford are flowing beautifully as the Holy Spirit orchestrates body ministry through each person.
1 Corinthians 14:26 'Whenever you come together, each of you has a psalm, has a teaching, has a tongue, has a revelation, has an interpretation. Let all things be done for edification.' - they are and we celebrate the varying grace gifts of God in each person.
 
God's weighty glory was in the room, as He romanced and danced with us in response to spirit and truth worship from the heart. Being church is so enjoyable!

We're next in Sandford on 23rd October at 3pm, and in Backwell Thursday 13th October at 7:30pm. 

Joe & Laura Corry return to Somerset

We celebrated the return of the spiritual father & friend of Restoration Blueprint with 2 significant team meetings and 2 well attended gatherings in Nailsea & Sandford. Thank God for good weather so we could overflow onto the patio! People new to Joe enjoyed his humorous, relaxed style, whilst old friends received more encouragement and release into a full & free life. Joe is a tonic to the body of Christ & we thank God for him and Laura. We heard wonderful testimony how God had used them to heal several, diagnosed in the womb Down's babies, who were normal at birth. Glory to God!

Team Weekend away in Wales

Restoration Blueprint team have been together for over 3 years now - and it keeps getting better. Together we've weathered the storms of life and conflicts that reveal our own insecurities and failings, but instead of disintegrating and pulling apart when the going gets tough, we draw closer together and add strength to one another.

We are committed to team. We have discovered there is nothing like it - except family, it's in God's heart and part of His plan. In relational conflicts, what the evil one intends for evil, to break apart and destroy, when we submit to Christ's Love in us God turns to good and salvation for many. If you're in a relational conflict, speak in tongues - it confuses the enemy and prevents him from using your words against you, twisting and perverting their intended meaning. Leviathon, that twisting, coiling serpent who causes the sea to churn and boil is rendered powerless when we speak in tongues. Victory is ours! 

Women of Ireland

A team of 14 travelled to Ireland for a day conference, including sons and daughters of the Restoration Blueprint team, who led worship, shared their stories, prophesied and prayed for the glorious women of Ireland. Along with others like them, these women are the hope of their nation. It was beautiful to see the way the whole team flowed together, honouring and preferring one another, all bent on encouraging, empowering and releasing those precious daughters of destiny into the plans and purposes Daddy God has for them.

Significant prophesies were given:

Ireland is ready, having the infrastructure in place for a second wave of prosperity. The first did not last as it was based on the ideas of man, but the coming prosperity will flow out from families - the real strength and treasure of the land. It will last and it will be a testimony to the real source of the revival of the Kingdom in Ireland.
A picture of a geyser. There will be a shift in techtonic plates, causing underground springs to burst forth onto the land. Techtonic plates were seemingly impossible when theorised, too big to move, but they cause earthquakes and volcanoes to erupt.
Letting your light shine is not about putting a candle in a jar; it's about being consumed by the fire of God. Glass is brittle, but under super heat it becomes maleable and can be reshaped and strengthened. (Toughened glass becomes so by the application of heat!) God is wanting women who burn with passion for Jesus, who have been consumed by the power of God, who will shine forth brightly.

2 were healed, one of rheumatoid arthritis in her hands, now pain free and flexible again, glory to God! The other one's hips were out of alignment, now are perfectly straightened! God is great.

Andy and Patti then stayed in Ireland to share at 2 prayer groups, where the Holy Spirit touched people with His Love and Goodness, as well as significant times of further relationship building. God's mountain is rising, it is glorious and it will fill the whole earth.

Bethel Blaze 'n Glory!

Patti & Andy are Sonburnt with His presence, love, goodness, affirmation and creativity after 3 wonderful weeks at Bethel church, Redding, California. A place where everyone is celebrated, not tolerated, and where the gold in you is drawn out to shine for His glory.
There were surprises, like, a rediscovery of a gift for poetry writing, visions of the angels who stand round those who live for Revival, hearing from God through the Arts, including Culinary!
Prophecy is a continuous air-flow in this atmosphere of encouragement and risk-taking; we were moved to tears by a child's spot-on words from the God Who sees.

We will be sharing from our time there at

Backwell Methodist church, Thursday May 19th, 7:30pm
Sandford, Sunday May 22nd, 3pm

Also - Joint meeting at Sandford with Andrew Leakey and team, 12th June
bring & share lunch at 12, baptism, worship and a swim in the pool if you're braver than most!

Reformation and Revolution

Next meeting is at Backwell Meths Church Thursday 14th April 7:30pm.
Andy is sharing on the need for a new reformation, a revolution of the Love who is God. We believe our heavenly Dad is sick of religion, it keeps people away from Him and sets up a class system within His family, who are all equally siblings of Jesus. Let the world see the Jesus in us as we love and honour one another. He's been badly misrepresented by the Church, His body, it's time to re-present Him.

Love, the greatest power

I recently discovered the aggressively disarming, powerful nature of the Love of God in me. Nothing can stand before it, maybe that's why mountains melt like wax at the presence of the Lord - it's the searing heat of His Love that melts them! It can't fail because it has no agenda except to Love - and nothing can stop it. It robs cruel circumstances of their power to destroy because it has confident trust that GOD Loves more than I do, that He reigns over all, and will turn all things to good for me and those I Love. It endures everything without giving up, it's always kind, always patient, always believes the best, its hope never fades, it never fails. It's the very life of God in me, I am God-like as I live in this Love and let this Love live in me.

Restoration Men's Weekend: Valuing His Presence

During the summer last year I, Roy, felt very strongly that men need to arise out of their comfy sofas and become the mighty men that they really are! I discussed this with Andy and Tim and the rest of the team; we decided that a weekend away was a good start.

 In January twenty eight of us gathered at a Christian centre near Chepstow. During the weekend we worshipped and met with God. There was an eclectic mix of men who came from varied backgrounds. No, they didn’t know about the comfy sofa comment; they do now though.

I knew that the weekend was to be an organic process, so the only firm times were the meal times. There was a great time of prophetic prayer for all of the men. Some saw visions and angels during the worship. There were also pre-conceptions shattered after fellowshipping together. 

Andrew Leakey shared on the theme, "Rise and rise again until lambs become lions" We took this on board and roared in prayer and praise. The weekend ended with new friendships and a great sense of unity.

Feedback afterwards:

'This is the best welcome I have had during thirty years of attending men’s events’ 

'Dear Restoration Blueprint Team, I am moved to express my extreme satisfaction at the Mens weekend, which for me at least was a significant milestone in my quest for the truth that will set me free and bring me closer to a consecrated walk with Father.

Thank you all for all the effort, love and commitment of time and resources that you have all put into the ministry.

May Father bless you all richly, love (brotherly)'

'Hi Guys

Just got to say it was probably one of the best weekends ever!

Thanks for all the work and prayer that went into it.'

'What was really different was the way everyone was like family.

You felt right at home from the start.

I’m sure this time has made many friendships that will last.

For me I did get something of what I was hoping for. (Pete then related words, visions, angelic encounters and dreams received at the weekend or subsequently)

Generally though its clear that Roy put in a lot of work to make this a success & he has been a great blessing.'

The next event is on Saturday 19^th March and it will be in the Bristol/Bath area. If you would like to attend you can register your name at restorationblueprint@hotmail.com.
