White Hot Centre

We have been taking our time recently to ensure we have two cultures in place. The first is an encounter culture. As Paul tells us in Ephesians when we gather as the church we are the living temple built on the foundations of the apostles and the prophets, with Jesus as the chief cornerstone. We host the presence of God. We worship Him and expect to encounter Him. The second is a culture of radical missional discipleship. We are setting ourselves up as a people on a mission, ready to carry the presence of God out into the world.

The last two weeks we have been richly blessed in our gatherings. You could say we have been longing for the white hot presence of God, and we haven't been disappointed. We have seen numerous healings and God dealing with deep issues that prevent us from knowing how to encounter Him. My experience has been that when we expose the issues in our lives that hold us back from entering His presence to the light, we give Him the opportunity to heal us.

There is more to come but it sure is getting hot!
