Almost a month has passed in this new year, it seems to have gone so quickly.
The latest news is that the Healing and Outpouring Meetings are back and running. There is a slight change in the proceedings as now, instead of being held weekly on Monday evenings at Central Hall they will now be monthly, on Saturday evenings at Central Baptist Church.
So it's all change then.....
Well, not entirely. You will still find passionate worship, pointed and valuable teaching. There will still be the opportunity for prayer ministry, it is a forum for testimony and giving God the glory for all that He is up to in these days.
Ultimately the meetings are for the people of Southampton to come together with God and then act with God. Not only is God for us, He is with us. I've made something of a New Year's resolution to rid myself of the notion that I need to invite God to come and be a part of what's going on - the 'Come Lord' prayers are gone. Simply because the truth is - He's here.
So that's all valid and wonderful information, but having stated that things are now moving back to Central Baptist Church it stands as the general rule, with the exception of next month's meeting which will be at Central Hall and will be forming the closing celebration of Bridge's 'Flammable' conference.
I urge you to check out bridgecf.org and consider booking in for this fantastic event. It is not simply a worship conference - it is not only a conference for musicians... but it is a place for those that have a passionate heart for worshipping God - and while there will be seminars and workshops for worship leaders, singers, drummers there will also be stuff for dancers, painters and those that love creative expression. Come along and be inspired in your personal and corporate worship.
Ok, and then we'll be back in Central Baptist for March. I hope that we, as the family of God in Southampton (and the surrounds) can re-engage with the passion that stirred us in 2008 as things were going crazy in Florida. God still wants to pour out that stuff; and it doesn't have to be hitting the headlines and taking over stadiums for us to be excited about it. It needn't be a flash in the pan, or a tidal wave that then retracts back to sea.
I'd rather see a people who grow in love, for God and each other and for a society; and gather momentum as more and more people align with God's plans and purpose - outpouring love and grace.
Looking ahead:
What's it all about?
God is pouring out His glory on the world, there are reports of healing - blind eyes seeing, deaf ears hearing, lame walking and dead people waking up!
This is a significant move of God as His glory becomes more and more intense in these days; and is the same fire that came to the disciples at Pentecost. Expect miracles to become common-place, everyday occurrences. Receive what God is doing - right now. It is freely given. Some blessings require hard-graft, fasting, striving. For this, you simply need to come to the fire and get in amongst the flames.
Bridge Christian Fellowship started hosting regular healing breakthrough meetings in Southampton on 12th May 2008 after Alun & Donna Leppitt visited the Florida Outpouring meetings in Lakeland. In 3 short weeks we outgrew our venue and were offered the use of Central Hall by Billy Kennedy and the team at New Community. These meetings are in the City for the City.
God is moving in the earth in powerful ways and we are thrilled to be a part of what He is doing in these days. Come and join the worship as we raise our praises to God. Come and be healed. Come get right with God. Share your stories of what God is doing. This is the news that will be making the headlines!
On this site, you will find details of upcoming meetings and testimonies - accounts of what God is doing in His people - in THIS city of Southampton. Every testimony is a declaration of what God has done and an invitation for God to do it again.
Please be encouraged to share your
Testimonies and send your
Prayer Requests. Sharing testimonies builds faith, because faith comes by hearing; they encourage us. So please be aware that if you submit a testimony that it will be posted upon this site, and will be shared amongst many people. If you would prefer to remain anonymous, then please state it in your email. Prayer requests will not be published here.
In these days we are witnessing transformation by the fire and power of the Holy Spirit. God's amazing grace and mercy is manifest amongst us and people are being healed, delivered and set free. In his presence His unchanging love is touching hearts and lives, through passionate worship and encounter.
Everywhere Jesus went He called people to change the way they think because the Kingdom of God is at hand. We believe that Kingdom is right here, right now and our role is to demonstrate it through a life lived with passion and purpose. Our heart's desire is to follow Jesus, to become like Him and do the stuff He did.
So, "all who are thirsty, come to the waters..." (Isaiah 55)
