God's View and Claim Over London

The events of yesterday was really evident on the faces of every person in the city of London this morning. I travelled on the underground at the same time yesterday when the first bomb went off, but on another line. London is shaken and very nervy! People are asking the life questions, this morning. It 's almost if I can hear they call out within them "what am I worth?

I thought this morning on my way to work, ... if fear has this impact on a city, imagine what faith will have?
It was is if the Spirit of the living God was welling up within me to capture the imagination of God. The word says: "our faith already overcame". God has chosen His "ecclessia" (church) to make known His manifold wisdom. Just such a wonderful opportunity to share the living Christ with people.What a joy and honour to reveal Christ in us and to preach Him in the nations. How valuable every person is to Him. He valued us with His own life, when He died for us. We are Jesus worth to Him. HALLELUJAH!

Two people came to our door yesterday to warn us of the end-times. After 1hour, Portia had the joy to share with them the present reality of the living Christ within. Don't be fooled into believing in a historical Jesus or a future event that can somehow bring you to a closer experience with your Maker. Tears rolled down their cheeks as the Spirit of the living God convicted them of His great favour and love. How great is this mystery, Christ WITHIN YOU the hope of glory. The revelation of God's opinion of them was so overwhelming that they insisted that they want to come and see us again. "One size fits all"

I thank God that this gospel is bigger than any label man want to associate himself with. The substance belongs to Christ, because in Him all men are included and in Him all men discover their true value and identity. Any other opinion lacks substance.
"It is this love that defines your value. You have a value that far exceeds your current wealth plus your earning power plus your achievements. It is not that your achievements are worthless or that your titles mean nothing, it’s just that measuring your value by them can’t do justice to your true value.

What title can compare to: ‘son of God’.
What position can compare to being seated with Christ in heavenly places?
What heritage can compare to being born of God?
What status can compare to being called His friend and personal representative?

He values you beyond your greatest achievement. He values you even if your only achievement is failure. He can see the truth about you, the reality of your worth, even if no one else (including yourself) can. He invites you to see YOU from His point of view.

There was an event in history in which God was required to place a value on man. Man was up for sale (redeem means to buy back) and nothing but the exact price would do. He made a calculation and came to a definite answer: Man is worth as much as I. He gave Himself as a ransom for you." (Andre Rabe - a piece from one of his articles)

In our hearts we are very excited and are aware of His powerful working in us. Those who know their God will do great and mighty exploits. This is the time to anticipate and expect God to confirm His word with signs and wonders. To see God reveal Himself IN US, not one day in the future,but now in this present day. Do not say another four months and then the HARVEST, look, see, they are ripe unto harvest!

You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit—fruit that will last. Then the Father will give you WHATEVER you ask in my name.John 15:16

"Arise, shine, for your light HAS come, and the glory of the LORD rises upon YOU.
2 See, darkness covers the earth and thick darkness is over the peoples, but the LORD rises upon YOU and his glory appears over YOU.
3 Nations will come to YOUR light, and kings to the brightness of YOUR dawn.
4 "Lift up your eyes and look about YOU: All assemble and come to YOU; YOUR sons come from afar, and YOUR daughters are carried on the arm.
5 Then YOU will look and be radiant, YOUR heart will throb and swell with joy; the wealth on the seas will be brought to YOU, to YOU the riches of the nations will come.

If God can't lie and He said it, praise God, I believe it. We about to see the revealing of the sons of God(YOU) who dare to believe what He believes, concerning YOU. The only faith worth pursuing is what He believes, CONCERNING YOU.

Live a Large Life in God. It's the greatest thrill and adventure you can imagine.
Love you guys! Tanswell and Portia
