So i wrote a whole Blog out last week and came onto my blog account today and it didn't send!!! so i wont bother sending it now i will just incorporate the main things from that one into this one here!
So i spoke in my last blog about me getting back from our 'M4' weekend and things from there have just blossomed, there have been 4 young people starting 'text a prayer' where they put a number on a poster in school in if someone wants prayer they text in and then these people will get together and pray for it! its been great so far and has really made a difference so far 150 texts have been received in two weeks! there is also lots of people wanting to make differences in there schools and colleges, people telling there friends about God telling people about events going on with the local church and encouraging the people to get along side it and come to the events! So has been the best result after the M4 we had two young lads from one school who were telling there mates in the lunch club about why Jesus was there Hero and why there friends should go to church! has been amazing and what we do here isn't about us its not about how much we get out of the year, its about blessing these young people and it seems like were doing that and seems like were really making a difference in their lives!
In terms of my church life things are really growing there, we have got an idea for a new bible study we will be starting for the 15-18 year Old, and ive taken feedback from all these young people and have put together an idea for a once a week meeting, this will start the week after Christmas so its really exiting! also an idea for me leading worship and even doing a preach at my church is coming about so things are looking up and are looking very exiting for this next few months coming up!
If our God is for us... this is a verse which has really touched are team here in Burnley, we turn to God in all our situations and we look to |God in all we do, and we come up with difficulties, a school we once got 70 people at a lunch club! one school we once has 0 people! so we have facing these, then we face difficulties with the student that come, some dont care about what we have to say and some do... and then me on a personal level am struggling with the youth at my church as they are finding it hard to make commitments to things and coming along to things because they live so far away from church! so we face difficulties but in ROMANS 8 V 31 it simply says 'If God is for us, who can ever be against us' and then also Acts 5 39 'if it is from God you will never be able to stop them' And this is what has kept me Personally Going and has Kept me positive, if God is with me and in me. then who can be against me and who can stop me? simple answer NO ONE...
Thank you to Everyone who let me know that you read my blog was great to see who does read it... and i would love to set one challenge this week for people who are reading this, i don't care if your Christian, NON-christian or somewhere in between this is something i want to challenge you with. some time this week when your experiencing a problem, may it be you have work to do, you have to go somewhere, you've got to speak to someone who you really don't like... then i challenge you to do something, before you do it pray to God... say to God 'God please be with me in what i am about to do' and then go and do it, i bet you something different will happen in this difficult situation, and if it does please let me know, would be great to here from people who have done this and who have seen a difference
Cheers Luke
