I have had alot of people ask me where Night of Bliss is being held, and how you can attend.
It is being held in the ExCel Centre in London, and for registration and more details, please go to www.loveworldchristiannetwork.org or www.loveworld.tv and you can find out everything you need.
God bless you all mightily, and I hope that you will be there with me in the spirit. 
I was reading a discussion on another site, to which I answered (although I wasn’t exactly invited to comment ;-p) The biggest issue they were discussing was ‘Is a born-again Christian a sinner? Or a saint and without sin? The reference scripture was Rom 8:10: “And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life bcause of righteousness”
Well…
The body (flesh) is dead because of the original sin of Adam and therefore our inherited sin. When you are born again, you receive a new divine nature. The Word of God says in 2 Pet 1:4:
”Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.”
2 Cor 5:17 tells us that “… if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.” When you are born again (in Christ), you become a new creature (creation).
Gal 6:15 says “For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature.” Being that new creation is the only thing that holds any weight, the only thing that can excercise any force… the only thing that will prevail (availeth ~ ischuō in Greek: From G2479; to have (or exercise) force (literally or figuratively): – be able, avail, can do ([-not]), could, be good, might, prevail, be of strength, be whole, + much work.
We now have the nature of God in us which is incorruptible (1 Pet 1:4, 23) and is housed in flesh with the Holy Spirit (1 Cor 6:19). Your body is what gves you the right to function here on earth, and is a gift from God. It is a ‘temple’ but not the real you that God deals with. You will need to differentiate between the three parts of each of us; the body, soul and spirit (1 Thess 5:23). That ‘inner man’ (spirit) that Paul speaks about (Eph 3:16) is the one God deals with because He is Spirit (John 4:24).
To lay it all on the line, I feel the best way to show it to you is through Romans 8:1: There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
Love and mighty blessing to you all…
“YOU SAY….blah blah blah….. God Says….”
This was a great reminder by Marcus Elzey on what the Turth is about ourselves… what God says about us as opposed to what we say about ourselves… and we all know which is more true!
Wow what a night!!! Its taken me a while to post about it ~ things have been really busy around here 
We had been preparing for a long time here in Australia, and the week leading up to it, CEGC was fasting and praying, studying the classic book “When God Visits You” by Pastor Chris Oyakhilome (due to having kids, I prepared here at home). Viewing here in Aus started very early in the morning, and the day leading up to it ~ it was a very funny day. To me, it certainly felt as if the world had stopped spinning and was holding its breath for NoB to begin.
We spent a long time in prayer at the CEGC viewing centre, then watched a bit of the dance and song ministrations… then without warning the man of God Pastor Chris appeared on camera walking in his dazzling white suit. It was as if I had been winded and I almost fell down flat on my face (and some of the brethren actually did).
Throughout the service, Pastor released words that will not only change each individual, their families and those in their sphere of contact… but those words have changed governments, countries, and THE WORLD!
Thousands were healed ~ lives were changed ~ destinies were altered ~ miracles were wrought ~ calls were answered ~ people were refreshed ~ purposes were concreted ~ the brethren were CHANGED… all by the Word.

God bless you real good
Today there was such a great entry in the Rhapsody of Realities… “Put Your Fath To Work” written by Pastor Anita Oyakhilome.
The opening scripture is Hebrews 11:1 which is “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen”. The Amplified says : “NOW FAITH is the assurance (the confirmation, the title deed) of the things [we] hope for, being the proof of things [we] do not see and the conviction of their reality [faith perceiving as real fact what is not revealed to the senses].“
I just love that! My faith is my proof, my evidence… my assurance. People wonder how we can believe in something we may not neccessarily see ~ but we have proof, and our faith is that very evidence. Notice in the amplified how it says the conviction of their reality [faith perceiving as real fact what is not revealed to the senses]. Our faith perceives things that our five senses cannot, our faith perceives facts our physical senses are not sensitive enough to ‘tune into’. Our faith connects us to the realities of the realm of the spirit (where all creation begins).
So if our faith is our ‘Title Deed’, there is no need to be passive any longer. If you have something then acting passively and as though you do not seems foolish in a way. Pastor Anita uses the example of James 2:17 which says “…faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone“.
So “… we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.” (2 Cor 4:18). We keep our focus and attention on the eternal things of the spirit, because that is more real that what we can see with our eyes. We live in the spirit and function in (walk by) faith… we are the children of God (Who is Spirit ~ John 4:24).
So if your faith is your evidence, proof, perception as real fact, confimation and title deed… how do we put our faith to work?
Pastor Anita puts it this way : “…if you truly believe God’s Word – that He is who He says He is, has done what He says He has done, and that you have what He says you have, then you must talk, act (behave) and live that way.” (parentheses mine).
We need to live the reality that what we receive by faith is more real than what we have in our hands. We’re not pretending when we behave this way, we’re not trying to ‘attract’ something, we’re not trying to bluff ourselves in believing something by restrictng our actions, we’re not trying to convince ourselves… we’re simply walking in a higher reality, looking with the eyes of our spirits and walking by faith.
Put your faith to work… don’t stagger at the Word of God. Your faith is the victory that overcomes the world (1 John 5:4).
Take care, God bless you mightily!
