KINGDOM OF LOVE

The law of the Kingdom is LOVE.

Greater LOVE has no one than this than to lay down his life for his freinds

To Him (Jesus) who LOVED us and washed us in His own BLOOD and made us KINGS and PRIESTS.

Royal. Priesthood.

But ye are;
- a chosen generation
- a royal priesthood
- a holy nation
- a peculiar people

that ye should;
- show forth the praises of Him 

People will praise You oh God because of what You will do in us and for us - People will say "I want your God" - people are already saying it Lord!!!

who hath called you out of;
- darkness 

into His;
- marvelous light

LOVE. BLOOD. KING & PRIEST.

PRIEST
Priests' minister in the temple
You have made us ministers of the Holy Blood of Jesus.
No sweat. No works.
Key element is BLOOD.
Blood = Peace with God = Dominion

KING
Kings rule and take dominion
No sweat. No works.
Decree and Declare.
Kingdom
Key element is WORD.

JESUS


THE BLOOD
Changes us - our nature - a new creature
Changes Gods mood - from wrath to kindness

A new creature. A new creation. A new nature. A new behavior. A new being.

Something has come alive within me!


 

The Law leads to guilt. Love leads to HOPE

The Law exposes sin and leads to guilt and works.

Love exposes sin, covers sin and leads to liberty and rest.

A touching moment

Father, I was so touched when Sister Sharon said that You answered her prayers - that You sent me as an answer to her prayers. That was so kind. I feel like I love her. I see that we are in tune. I feel like I want to really help her x Help me to be wise, help me to be effective, help me to do the right things very well x

I felt so blessed I was gushing! That made me so happy Jesus!

And then Lord you gave me an opportunity to sit with Pastor Nelson and share what you have shown me about the young people. Thank You so much Lord.

I saw the agreement that we had about the Young people. Responsibility but also Relationship and Relevance.

Thanks ever so much Lord. I love you!

New Sound / Dance

Dear Lord, I just wanted to sit and consider the words that you have confirmed to me today;

Fiona talked about;
DANCE
BE STILL
DWELL
Shanniel talked about our bodies were made to worship you Jesus
She talked about Meshak, Shadrack and Abednigo responding to Your sound

Cindy Trimm - Talked about;
MANTLES being dropped - I think of Mother Bell and Mother Stewart.
Our eyes being open to the KINGDOM of GOD

Pastor Robinson prayed for;
THE NEW THING
VISION

Israel sang about;
NO LIMITS
BREAK FORTH
ENLARGE YOUR TERRITORY

Lord God;
Thank You also for confirming that it is OK to meditate upon your word. Lord I want to do groups and classes - it's been in my spirit for some time now. "For those that feel hassled by the business of life - an opportunity to BE STILL AND KNOW THAT HE IS GOD". Lord I want silence. I was looking at mattresses. I need to ask pastor.

Pastor Penny Talked about;
SUDDENLY

Your love is greater

Where sin abounded - Grace abounded much more

Psalms 62.3 Power belongs to God

Psalms 40:3

And He hath put a new song in my mouth

Psalms 18

Remember October 14th 2010 - Jehova Jireh

Thanks be unto God because He took me from what felt like near-on poverty to earn the most I have ever earned in my life. I started my contract on Thursday 14th October at a daily rate of £350 per day. Wow!

Per week I earned;  £1750
Per month I earned; £7000
Between October 2010 and April 2011 I earned; £42,000

NO LIMITS
At first I thought - "yes please" but that it was out of my range but thank God for sending Nereta to encourage me to go for it. And I got it!

Lesson 1 - No limits; go for the BEST that you can imagine!

Lesson 2 - You have to be in it to win it!

Now Lord as I am sitting here, I feel like I need to move on from SapientNitro to move on up to the higher level.

I saw that I lacked confidence at that time. On reflection I should have asked for £92400. Now onwards and upwards!

OH GOD

Oh God, my heart poured out when I thought about leaving Matthew. I worried for his safety. I cried that it would be well with his soul. That he would remember me.

But Lord God, you have given me clarity according to the multitude of your mercies. I believe that he is mine and that it is a matter of time and season. God bless us as we work towards your kindom, walk together towards your kingdom and wait on you to bless us. Thank you for the anointing. May it be HUGE and GREAT to your GLORY and the benefit of the YOUTH oh GOD! Thank YOU JESUS!!

Give ZEAL and GREAT WISDOM to serve YOU!

I recall that youth sunday. I was moderating and Matthew was preaching.
He guided me and showed me.
Thank YOU LORD!!

My Heart Bled for the Young People

Oh Lord, I recall how I fell on my knees and cried out for the young people when I was at CLC - my heart bled as we kneeled on the floor. I remember the room being dark. I remember the man who came to give the message looking at me

I recall also how my heart cried out and bled again for the young people when we were at COGIC Tottenham. I remember how I lamented over them and how I felt in my heart.

I recall the scripture that Sister Palmer gave to me about the woman who took guard over her sons who had been slain. She defended their bodies from the birds of the air and the beasts of the field. She kept guard until they were given a fair burial. Davis heart was moved with compassion.

I recall how You gave me the scripture that the young people are a royal priesthood, am holy nation a peculiar people, that will show forth the praises of our God.

I recall how I was reminded again to check how old Solomon was when he became King.
Do not let anyone despise you because you are young!

Timothy. LORD GOD GIVE THE YOUNG PEOPLE AND MYSELF WISDOM!!

Slow down. Dwell

Dwell. Chill. Abide. Hang out. Linger. Ponder.

Don't rush x

TOGETHER x

How do I feel Lord? When I find a good thing I can't help but share it with my friends. When I benefit i want them to benefit too Lord - Detangling brush, Israel Houton Album -  You are Spirit and You want us to benefit too - so You have made us Spirit so that we can enjoy the benefits together. So that we can have fellowship with one another. So that we can be together. I love You Father. I want us to be together FOREVER!! There is no one like You Oh Lord xxx

LOVE Intensity - My God I am drawn to You

Fires run through my body --
the pain of loving you.
Pain runs through my body with the fires of my love for you.
Sickness wanders my body with my love for you.
Pain like a boil about to burst with my love for you.
Consumed by fire with my love for you.
I remember what you said to me.
I am thinking of your love for me.
I am torn by your love for me.
Pain and more pain.
Where are you going with my love?
I'm told you will go from here.
I am told you will leave me here.
My body is numb with grief.
Remember what I've said, my love.
Goodbye, my love, goodbye.

YOU will do EVERYTHING within Your power to make us HOLY. YES LORD!! DO IT LORD!! AMEN!!

You loved with such an all consuming love that You sent Your only innocent Son to dies for us. OH GOD. HELP me to feel the heat and see the glowing light of this consuming fire of love for us. Thank You Jesus.

I am reminded of when I was in Ghana, I felt I saw You eyes of fire just looking straight at me. It was well with my soul I was well. Technically I was doing something dangerous, but it was well with my soul. Thank You JESUS!

I am Spirit - You have made me just like You - we are a like and have fellowship. Thank You Father. Mwah!

Thou are my Father, My God, the Rock of my Salvation

Oh Lord. How long have I been running around looking for a Father in the sons of men?
How long have I been seeking their acceptance, their comforts and gaze?

It was in 2006 that my father died. We were left without a father and without a husband. I think I secretly despised our state. i felt like we were a bunch of dis-organised women, chaotic, immature and of a low estate. Please forgive me Lord for dispising my own family.

Ian.
I remember Ian clearly and that feeling of elation when I he told me that he liked me for such a long time. It wasn't normal, I couldn't drive. I was as if I'd won the lottery or something but it felt like the best news I've ever heard. I was so overwhealmed. We both recall this feeling of being in a river that was bigger than us.
Ian was very different. I remember liking his burliness and his chilled out approach - everything was cool. Nothing was a stress. I recall calling him a glass of cool water.

I slept with Ian on the first night in Glasgow. I slept with him in his and his girlfreinds bed. He made his way inside me and I know now that I wasn't ready but I went with it. It was the best sex I've had yet.

I slept with a guy on the first night - Never done that before
I slept with someone elses boyfriend - Never done that before
I slept with someone who I was not in a relationship with unprotected - Never done that before
I slept with someone within earshot of my friends - Never done that before
I felt I loved him so strongly that I even fell out with my best friend.

I remember crying for ages on his chest about him doing something horrid. I cried and at the end he said he just doesn't understand me.


He wasn't my dad.


Other guy.
I didn't love this guy but felt I wanted to be a source of happiness and escape from his difficult life.
He was burly, rough round the edges, street conscious with an aspiration for the finer things in life. Had a very very difficult past - failed business, failed marriage, family turmoil. So bad that he met me one time in his work trousers.

He was such a shady character as he never invited me back to his, told me he was renting out a room and that he didn't want the family to know his business.

I feel a pang of shame as I felt so desperate to be with him.
I slept with him after about 3weeks -1 month of talking.

I booked a £250 a night hotel room in the hotel, drank champagne and a cocktail. Then headed up to the room. I kissed him first. I was on from there. Even though I didn't feel that turned on I slept with him. Threw my inhbitions to the wind and went in.

The next morning he was aroused and then we began having un-protected sex - A man who I don't hardly know anything about, who hasn't even invited me to his house.

He was hard to get hold of. I slept with him at my sisters house and even at my friends house while she was sleeping. I felt the despising. I felt myself curling around him like a little girl. My friend saw me curling like a little girl and told me so.

He soon got too direct and too distant and he was gone.

He wasn't my dad.

Let there be light

Oh Father. Hallowed be thy name.

In the beginning You said "LET THERE BE LIGHT" and You declared and decreed it.

I thank You in the name of Jesus that You shone light upon my situation. For showing me what I could not see Lord. Thank You

It pays to keep things simple

Thank You Jesus x

Confirmation: Your Blood Defends Me

Thank You Jesus so much Jesus. On God Channel Your son confirmed what You told me Lord x

Take it easy on yourself

Naomi means pleasantness x

This seat is reserved

Dear God. Matthew rang to tell me that there were only two seats left in the upper circle at the center...WOW! Father, I just see Your kindness all around. Matthew went on the website and there were only side seats. TWO Seats Lord, You reserved them just for us Lord...Thank You!!!!!! We are blessed!!

Stop that train!

Father. Thank You so much for your consideration. I went to catch my train thinking that it came at 8.33 but really it was 8.28 but when I got there the train was delayed. I was able to get towork on time. That's a very close consideration of my needs - and more so an extremely lovely mercy. Even though I was late You still made a way for me. Thank You Jesus! I remembered today that You will do anything for us Lord. You suffered, was beaten, shed Your blood and died for us and will therefore do anything for us Lord. Thank You so very much x

It makes me think, would You move things around for us? Shift things and change things to make a way for us? I'd always felt bad for being late and not fitting in but I wonder if You would fit things around us according You the multitude of Your mercies...Love You Lord. You will do anything for us Lord x

Coming to think of it I remember the mercies You showed to me when I went to Ghana, I forgot to do what was right but before that You had a plan in place for me Lord, according to the multitude of Your mercies even though I messed up You helped me Lord to have the best holiday of my life! x

My Bajan Queen!

I love YOU Father!! Thank You so much for Glyndene Palmer. A friend, a sister and a Mother to me. God You have surrounded me with the righteous. At times I considered that You have laid my foundations with rubies and sapphires - these lovely people who You have place in my life. Sister Palmer is my sister, a real encouragement when I was feeling so low. She showed and continues to show me You, teaching me how to move in the Spirit of God, teaching me how You work. She showed me that You work with our wills that You have infinite channels and routes to get Your will done - I recall that time at Kings Cross station when the Luton train got cancelled - I panicked for a second, I was apprehensive about delays and blockers to us getting to where we needed to go but then I saw there were about five other trains going to our destination anyway - That was just one channel but You oh God have infinite channels! The Earth is Yours and the fullness thereof.  I recall how You used Gurmit to get me the job at Sapient, I was totally unaware of what You were doing - I think I'll publish that on another post. Thank You Father!! Bless Your Prophet oh Lord! Strength and great boldness, joy in You unending and a heart to do Your will at all times xxx

Thank You for my baby x

Raise your hands to the Lord YES! God fearing man of God

Dinner at Yum Yums

Lord God I give You thanks for Matthew, thank You so much for giving me this lovely person to love. Thank You Jesus, you answered my prayers. A man who loves You and is willing to serve You. A man who knows where his glory comes from, who knows where his source comes from, who knows where his strength comes from, a man who is not afraid to cry to you and reach out to you, a man who knows that You are Jehova Jireh - his provider, Jehova his righteousness. Thanks for this person who encourages me and showed that "Behold You are doing a new thing" . Some one who reminded me that the Kingdom of God is at hand! A partner in the Kingdom of heaven, to seek first Your Kingdom. Father I give You thanks and praises for Matthew. You are my God. Your Kingdom come and Your good and perfect will be done in us and between us in Jesus name. Your name be glorified in our union Almight God. I love You Father xxx I feel like You are showing me how much You love me through Matthew Lord - Thank You xxx

Sing unto the Lord a new song

Praise the Lord on the guitar

Lord. Boon gave me the guitar! Thank You so much!! I asked about playing the piano but you gave me a guitar, so I will play to You a new song. Please help me to practice well and to play well to Your glory. I saw how well those drummers expressed their skill I want to do the same in playing for you, make me an expert! I also have something in common with Jeff too. Thanks Lord!

Hotlanta here I come!

Cheeky sweetness. Won't forget you hun!

The next generation Banton family

Fly high baby!

Father, I remembered today that when I asked You to make a away for me to go to Atlanta You made a way. I got to go to Atlanta! There seemed to be a risk that I might not go, it got delayed but it happened!! Anthony was saying that the team may come over to the UK instead, I wasn't sure if Michael liked me, I wasn't sure if I clicked with Chris Popple. REGARDLESS I WENT TO ATLANTA. And I can back with a testimony too x Thank You so much. I came back knowing that the Blood covers me - I found Tinikas song, I was encouraged by Ciyoni, I connected with some experts in mobile. I made friends with the staff at Loews. I got to go to the soul food place, I got to meet Alexi, Hunter and the other creative guys. Meeting up with Gareth and Ciyoni was so good! I remember worrying that I would not be able to meet them but again You made a way. Spending time with the boys too. Thank You so much.

I remember praying on my bed and feeling the peace. You heard my prayer Lord! Thank You!!!

Where ever my feet shall tread that is what You have given me Lord. Thank YOU!! 

Good news

Dear Lord, thank You for showing me Isaiah 54 for Sister Karen;

 ¹Sing, O barren, thou that didst not bear; break forth into singing, and cry aloud, thou that didst not travail with child: for more are the children of the desolate than the children of the married wife, saith the LORD.
 ²Enlarge the place of thy tent, and let them stretch forth the curtains of thine habitations: spare not, lengthen thy cords, and strengthen thy stakes;
 ³For thou shalt break forth on the right hand and on the left; and thy seed shall inherit the Gentiles, and make the desolate cities to be inhabited.
 ⁴Fear not; for thou shalt not be ashamed: neither be thou confounded; for thou shalt not be put to shame: for thou shalt forget the shame of thy youth, and shalt not remember the reproach of thy widowhood any more.

Flowers, Fruit and Fellowship for breakfast

Wow Lord. Thank Your so much for such a lovely morning. Three bunches of flowers from Matthew, a whole selection of fruit and fellowship. The sun was shining through the windows reflecting off the cutlery. We listened to music and relaxed first thing in the morning. Saturday 20th August. Lord I felt like - wow how could all this niceness be coming to me so flowingly? I cried, I love your Lillies Lord, they are perfume to me - Is this like a perfume of love? To wake up the next day - walk into the room and smell those lillies - wonderful! Father, You are doing a new thing - Thank You x

Sunny Monday

Thank You Lord for today. The amount of people that must feel better because the sun is shining today. I feel glad. Thank You so much

Cambridge

Father, Matthew and I had such a nice time in Cambridge. You held the clouds from raining, our journey was lovely, the wedding bells were ringing at the church, it was such fun riding on our bicycles, the picnic was lovely, the Prosecco refined in flavour, Matthew enjoyed my cooking lol, we laughed, we chatted, people looked at us. You took us on the river Cam, the punter was interesting and engaging, the sun came out and shone on us Lord - right in my face at the right temperature, thank You so much. We learned about the library with the oldest Bible in England (??), You reminded us of the gardens and we planned to bring the boys down for a trip. The knowledge in such a place. Matthew planned on Mesij singing at one of the famous student parties. Amen to that. Even just being a young black couple was nice. Thank You Father xxx

What do you get after a hard day at work? Flowers

Roses and Lillies!

And not just any flowers but my favorite flowers - Lillies and pink Roses. The petals felt so good against my cheeks. The construct of the Lillies like the veins in our bodies and the texture so cool and refined. I love my flowers Lord. Thank You Father. I felt so rough but You were so lovely to put it in Matthews heart to buy me the lovely flowers. Thank You for Your kindness, thank You for Matthew, thank you for my flowers. Mwah xxx
