Unstopping the well of revival

Praise be to the Author of life!

We have moved! Yesterday we had our first meeting at our new location for our Sunday meetings at the Christliches Zentrum Frankfurt. It was awesome!

We believe that it is important for God's people to demonstrate their unity in spirit, soul and body by establishing their unity in spirit; expressing their unity in soul (mind, will and heart) and exercising their unity, physically (body) by serving one another. Four people covenanted with KLF and we with them yesterday, because of our desire to build God's Kingdom together in spirit, soul and body. We praise God for people who are hungry for God and are committing their lives to live for Him and to build His Kingdom! Hallelujah! You can see pictures of our covenanting here...

The Lord has been preparing us for this new season and our move to CZF. Following a prophetic word given to us by Richard Maybery last year where the Lord said to KLF that we would partake of the well of revival at that very location where revival had taken place in the past; the Lord has opened the doors for us to meet at CZF and has confirmed His will concerning this significant move through Bengt Wedemalm who visited KLF last week (check out Bengt's comment on his visit here...).

Looking at Genesis 26:1-25, the Lord spoke to us about unstopping the well of revival that had been dug in the past. He told us to honour His work in the past and to build upon what has already been established. The Lord showed us that it is because of our relationship to Him as our Father and His Son as our Brother that He is blessing us. As we drink from the well of revival, God told us not to become possessive but to be good stewards of what He blesses us with by giving freely of what we have freely received.

It is as we steward the waters of revival that we will flourish!

In order to respond to God's promise to us, He took us to John 4:1-19 where He confirmed His desire to unstop the well of revival in each of us and in our new location by offering us the free gift of Living Water. The awesome fact about the account of Jesus and the Samaritan woman is that it shows that God wants to bless those who will just believe in the Giver and in the Gift that He wants to release to those who are truly thirsty for Him. Hallelujah!

Following God's revelation to us we simply worshipped the Giver and received the Gift by faith and unstopped the well of revival in the Spirit. Consequently people were saved, filled and released into a deeper level in their relationship with God as they overflowed with God's Spirit and drank from the well of revival! Hallelujah!

These are truly exciting times and we are in awe of what God is doing in us and through us! All glory belongs to Him!

This week IMPACT! (KLF's youth) will be moving to their new location as well and we believe God is going to do a wonderful work through them as they bring His Kingdom to Frankfurt-Sachsenhausen!

Quote of the week:

"Jesus answered her, 'If you knew the gift of God and who it is that asks you for a drink, you would have asked him and he would have given you living water.'" John 4:10

Touching the nations

Praise be the God!

This past week was wonderful. The Lord is continuing to bless us with spiritual revelation, wisdom and knowledge to know Him more and we are seeing people being set free by the Truth! Hallelujah!

Yesterday we had the privilege of having pastors Joseph and Geetha Komanapalli visit KLF. The Lord is doing a wonderful work through this godly couple in India where they are ministering to the poorest of the poor on the south- eastern coast of India in the area of Andhra Pradesh. Their work supported by Hermon Living Waters Ministries is exstensive and we are blessed to be able to contribute both financially and practically to this anointed ministry. To find out more about HLWM and the Komanapallis, click here.

Pastor Geetha brought God's Word and the Lord spoke to us about living a life of faith. In particular the Lord addressed our need to identify temptation and sin that seek to undermine and weaken our faith. We were encouraged to take hold of God's promises and walk in them!

We praise God for the way He is continuously encouraging us to stand firm in our faith as we possess His promises, dwell in them and stand firm in them.

This Friday and Saturday we will be having our KLF Training Days with Bengt Wedemalm and we are expecting to break through into deeper levels of faith that will release even more miracles, signs and wonders in KLF, Frankfurt and across the globe! God is able to do exceedingly abundantly more than we can possibly ask or think according to his power that is at work within us! Hallelujah! For more information on this weekend click here.

This Sunday Gayle Claxton of Voice in the City will be ministering to KLF and we are looking forward to another Spirit-filled encounter with God and one another! For more information on Gayle and Voice in the City click here.

We praise God for all the awesome things He is doing in us and through us and we are continuing to prepare for greater things as we expand our territory in the natural in anticipation of both numerical growth and spiritual growth. Our move to CZF on the 31st of this month is significant and we believe that this move is a move into new beginnings as we enter into the next season of God's work with us and through us. Glory to the King of kings! For more information on the move click here.

Quote of the week:

"I tell you the truth, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.'" Matthew 17:20

Praying in the name of Jesus

Glory to the King of kings and Lord of lords!

Last week was amazing! On Tuesday the church was called to fast and pray and consequently we had a dynamic time together at our Tuesday evening prayer meeting! Hallelujah! The Lord is continuing to teach us how to pray and yesterday he spoke to us about what it means to pray in the name of Jesus:

• We are to pray in the name of Jesus. John 16:23,26
• To do anything in the name of another is to represent that person.
• A name is only as significant as the person it represents.
• The more we know a person, the more significant that person's name becomes to us.
• In order to truly represent somebody, one must be able to be that person.
• In the natural one can only emulate another person.
• In the spiritual the believer has received the Spirit to be able to be just like Jesus and to reveal Him.
• Jesus came in the name of the Father to reveal the Father. John 14:9-11; 17:11
• The Holy Spirit has come in the name of Jesus to reveal Jesus. John 14:26; 16:14
• The believer has been given the name of Jesus in order to reveal Him by the Holy Spirit. John 17:18
• The believer is to live in Jesus' name if he is to pray in Jesus' name! Col. 3:12-17
• The believer is to represent Jesus as He is in heaven! Col. 3:1-3; 1 John 4:17; Eph. 1:17-23

In response to God's awesome revelation to us, we prayed for one another in the glorious name of Jesus and many people were deeply touched by the Father. Hallelujah!

This week is going to be another exciting week with God and we are particularly looking forward to the weekend when we will have our KLF Training Days with Mike and Kay Chance.

Quote of the week:

"When we pray to the Father it must be in Jesus' name. The name represents the person. To ask in His name is to ask in full union of interest, life, and love with Himself, as one who lives in and for Him. Let the name of Jesus have undivided supremacy in my heart and life! My faith will grow to the assurance that what I ask for in that Name cannot be refused. The Name and the power of asking go together. When the name of Jesus has become the power that rules my life, its power with God will be seen too. Everything depends on my relationship to the Name. The power it has on my life is the power it will have in my prayers....When it is everything to me, it will obtain everything for me. If I let it have all I have, it will let me have all it has." (Andrew Murray, With Christ in the school of prayer)

Sowing Spiritual Seed

Glory to God!

Last week the leaders of KLF attended a 3 day leaders conference at Kingdom Faith in Horsham, England. We are blessed to be in covenant relationship with Kingdom Faith and are excited about how God is saying the same things to us as He is saying to them! It is a privilege to be part of KF's apostolic anointing and to be a part of the work that the Lord is doing in them and through them. The leaders conference was a great opportunity to build new relationships as well as strengthen existent ones. The meetings were very powerful as we met with God in worship and through His Word to us. We are on an exciting journey with God and it's wonderful to walk together with KF and be one in spirit and purpose. Hallelujah!

As part of equipping our people to walk in the fullness of God's purposes for their lives, we are thrilled that two of our people will be attending Kingdom Faith's Faith College where they will encounter God in a dynamic and powerful way and be trained to know Him and make Him known!

Yesterday's meeting was awesome! The presence of God was evident the moment we began to "enter in" and the Holy Spirit led us deeper and deeper into the glory and holiness of God. We praise God for His favour upon us and the anointing that is on our worship. Glory to Him!

KLF supports a ministry in India called Hermon Living Water Ministries that is doing a mighty work in India planting new churches, raising up spiritual leaders, building and supporting orphanages and schools and reaching the lost with the Gospel. Yesterday we were privileged to be visited by members of the leaderhip team of HLWM and to have the opportunity to further establish our relationship with them and pray with them. Hallelujah.

The Lord is speaking to us about honouring Him and yesterday He showed the following:

1. When we overflow with the grace that God has lavished upon us - the gift of Himself to us, we not only reveal Him and thereby honour Him (because we reveal in the natural what we believe we have received in the spiritual), but we sow spiritual seed.
2. Every person sows seed with their lives that will either be of the flesh, the devil or spiritual seed. Gal. 6:7,8
   
3. We reap what we sow. 2 Cor. 9:6-15
4. When we sow spiritual seed we will receive an abundant harvest of righteousness. 2 Cor. 9:10
5. When we sow spiritual seed we will receive God's abundance and newness. Prov. 3:9,10
6. When we sow spiritual seed we live under an open heaven and release heaven on earth. Mal. 3:10-12
7. When we sow spiritual seed into others, we release the Kingdom of God into their lives that will produce everlasting fruit!
8. To sow spiritual seed we must die to self and overflow with the Life that the Father has sown into our lives. John 12:23-25

The Lord is saying this to His Body:

My children, because you are enthusiastic (possessed by God) and generous (of noble birth), take initiative and sow spiritual seed willingly, eagerly, sacrificially, suddenly, excellently, and despite the circumstances and receive the blessing that will flow into your life and into the lives of others, thereby honouring Me.

We praise God for His hand upon us and we give Him all the glory for what He is doing in us and through us! Hallelujah!

Quote of the week:

"I tell you the truth, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds. The man who loves his life will lose it, while the man who hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life." John 12:24,25

Building a spiritual House for God's Glory!

Glory to the King of Kings!

God is speaking to us about building spiritual walls and that as living stones (1 Peter 2:5) He is calling us to build walls of salvation (Isaiah 26:1) as a church that will influence and protect our lives and the lives of those around us. God is challenging us to understand the cost involved to be "Repairer(s) of Broken Walls" (Isaiah 58:12) as we seek to stand in the gap for the Church and this city. Consequently as KLF fasts for 21 days this month we will be interceding for the Church and the city of Frankfurt and praying for the glory of the Lord to be revealed in and through His Body and in Frankfurt (Ezekiel 43:1-12). The Lord is calling us to consecrate ourselves (1 John 2:15-17) so that He can glorify His Name through His people.

Yesterday the Lord showed us how the glory can depart and we saw from 1 Samuel 3; 4:12-22 that:

1. We must never assume that God's glory will automatically be with us and become over familiar with His presence. We must guard and honour the Lord's glory at all times!
2. Just as Eli's eyes grew dim we are not to allow our spiritual eyes to become dim by relying on past revelation rather than on fresh revelation.
3. Eli was heavy and immovable but God wants His people to be ready and moving with Him all the time. The Church is never to be settled and comfortable but continuously on the move with God.
4. Eli didn't raise up the next generation in the fear of the Lord so that his sons sinned against the Lord and were not trained in the ways of the Lord. Likewise Samuel wasn't taught how to recognise the voice of the Lord!

If we, as the spiritual House of God want to see God's glory, we must humble ourselves and seek the Lord's face. We are being called to vulnerability before God so that He will clothe us with His glory (Gen. 3:8). Hallelujah!

We believe that God is taking us to a new level in our relationship with Him and that our 21 day fast is the doorway to new and even more exciting things in 2008! Glory to God!

We praise God for 3 opportunities this month to feed the poor. On the 9th and the 30th we will have our regular soup kitchen and on the 23rd we are joining other churches to provide the poor with a Christmas dinner and celebration. For this purpose we and TPLF are making up 200 filled shoe boxes with lots of goodies in them to give to the needy.

Quote of the week:

"May the glory of the Lord be praised in His dwelling place!" Ezekiel 3:12

At the Source!

Glory to God!

The Lord is speaking to us about the River of Revival and He is showing us how to step into it! Beginning at the Source, the very presence of God, the Lord is revealing to us how we are to enter in and worship Him. Continuing our study in John 4, the Lord is teaching us that:

1. We can worship anywhere at anytime (vs 21)
2. We must worship what we know - not what we only know about (vs 22)
3. We can only worship in spirit if we are saved and have received the Holy Spirit (vs 22)
4. We must worship in spirit - songs that minister to the soul are not worship (vs 23)
5. We must worship in spirit because God is spirit (vs 24; Phil.3:3)
6. We must worship in truth - sincerely and God's way according to His Word (vs 24)
7. We must understand that God is seeking true worshippers (vs 23)

We also looked at the difference between the spirit, the soul (mind, will and emotions) and the body (1 Thess. 5:23) and we saw that it is the Word of God that helps us to distinguish what is of us (the soul) and what is of the Spirit (Heb. 4:12) so that we learn to walk in the Spirit and worship in the Spirit.

"The Christian life is all about the soul being sanctified by the Spirit so that we reveal the Father's heart, the mind of Christ and the will of the Holy Spirit!"

We are also greatly encouraged by the amazing truth that through faith in Jesus, the veil has been removed so that we have access by the Spirit to behold and reflect the glory of God! (2 Cor. 3:16-18)

The Lord is continuously confirming what He is saying to KLF through other people. This past week a number of pastors and leaders from different churches and organisations met for prayer in an old water tower that overlooks Frankfurt. The Lord was speaking through different people about how it's time for the water to flow and how it is not to be only stored up for personal use. He is speaking to the churches about getting into the world and sharing the Living Water!

Yesterday evening we joined Treffpunkt Leben in providing spiritual and physical food for the poor and homeless. God is bringing more and more people but we need more space! We estimate that there must have been over 80 people present that we had to feed in shifts so that everyone could get a seat and be satisfied. We're praying for a larger location where people can come and find rest and have the opportunity to share their life stories and burdens with us so that we can minister God's presence, His power and His love to them.

Quote of the week:

"But thinking is not enough. Men are made to worship also, to bow down and adore in the presence of the mystery inexpressible. Man’s mind is not the top pea, of his nature. Higher than his mind is his spirit, that something within him which can engage the supernatural, which under the breath of the Spirit can come alive and enter into conscious communion with heaven, can receive the divine nature and hear and feel and see the eneffable wonder that is God…." A.W. Tozer
