THE SPEECHLESS

"Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute." (Proverbs 31:8)
If you are a born again believer in Jesus Christ you have access to the throne of grace where pre-believers and unbelievers do not have access. I am slowly but surely learning about intercession and the above scripture speaks massively to me on the matter. They cannot speak for themselves before Holy God...but we can...and we must to bring glory to Jesus and see the lost converted. What do you think? Ant

THE SPARK

12 saints met today in St Patrick's Park and retraced the lines of the poddle river as it would have flowed in the time of Patrick when he baptised people there 1500 years ago. With the Country in crisis we called out to our sovereign Lord for mercy. Legally this country is built on the foundation of Jesus (read the preamble to the Irish Constitution and be amazed), yet morally this nation has forgotten such roots and godly history. Today was a small act in many ways but I believe it was a spark which will fan into a flame. Next year a larger prayer gathering will be held at the cross in Phoenix Park entitled "Dedicate Ireland". Paul O'Higgins wrote to Tomas Kennedy recently about this and said "...We would envision that this would be a large gathering of believers and that we would rededicate the land to Jesus Christ and ask cleansing from all blood guilt and idolatry.
This will be to lift up no man except the Man Jesus Christ..."
I found it odd in one way that God would call me (with Tomas) to call the meeting we had today. I say this because I see myself primarily as an evangelist and street preacher and not an "intercessor", yet I was gripped by the conviction that we must take simple steps of obedience as God leads regardless of what we think! I also had the conviction that God would show us the details of what to do on the day...and this He certainly did!...Oh to the joy of carrying out the will of the Father.
One thing God showed me in the Spirit during the prayer was that in the past the fire of God came on believers at this location from where they spread out across the land and yet again God will send us out as firebrands across this nation to bring the eternal life changing powerful Gospel of Jesus Christ. Hallelujah. Ant

2 Sore throats, 1 Prayer, 1 Miracle!

As we spoke to the 3 street wise lads on Grafton Street this evening we cut straight to the point...This wasn't about religion but Relationship. I could drink all I wanted, take drugs all I wanted, live loosely all I wanted...truth is that when Jesus give me a new heart I didn't want any of that. I then declared that Jesus was alive and can heal the sick today. I asked one chap if he had a sore ear, thinking the Lord had impressed this thought on my mind...but not being sure! He said no but he had larengitus and was amazed that I seem to know he was sick.."How did you know that? " he asked me and then turning to his pal he said "Did you tell him?" . Surprisingly the pal also had a sore throat and was indeed a bit hoarse. I asked them both if they would like me to ask Jesus to heal them and they agreed. So as I lay hands and one and asked Cian to lay his hand on the other we prayed for a miracle. The pal said he felt better and looked a bit amazed while...guess what...the other guy said he felt just the same.

We said goodbye soon after that but as we again gathered to pray for the chaps in their absence we had a sense that God touched them and we again asked our wonderful Lord to touch the chap who was yet to be healed.

Healing is dramatic and wonderful but we all know that the greatest miracle is that of the new birth and the changing of a heart of stone to a heart of flesh...Let God get all the glory! Next fishing trip ? 11pm Temple Bar Friday night. Thanks form your support!

Arise Dublin!

Imagine a city where the people of God come together from different churches and repent of building their own Kingdoms and praying that boats will draw alongside each other to draw in the harvest! Wow!! On Friday night the first Arise Dublin revival prayer meeting was had and hundreds attended. The Photos show 14 leaders of different churches on stage receiving prayer! What a sad sight in hell...the anointings are being mingled and the city will be lost to Satan! GO to arisedublin.com for details on the upcoming meetings from now till 16 March.

We are in a war and a united effort is required to carry out the Lord's victory against the devil and his cohorts. As in the Second world war when the allies united for a common cause so too THE ENTIRE CHURCH need to be motivated to do their part to win the lost. If God's plan was only to bless you he'd have promoted you the minute you were saved but instead He has a call for YOU to reach the lost. Lift your eyes beyond the parapet of your church and see the vast multitude of the walking dead...all in mortal need of new birth. GO!!! In Ephesians Chapter 4 you will see that the Evangelists job is not to do all the Soulwinning but to Equip the Saints for Works of Service. How better can you serve your King than lead somebody to HIm.
