Simon Peter - The Lost Disciple and You and Me

After Peter denied Jesus three times he realised he had betrayed his Lord and he wept bitterly. Later when Jesus was resurrected He asked Peter if he loves Him three times. Peter, probably recalling his earlier denial, in exasperation he replied, "Lord, you know all things; you know that I love you." Peter was sincere but it takes the best friend anyone can find to still trust him with most important possession, His sheep, particularly His lambs.
The Disciple Daniel and the Disciples of Today Lessons from the Life of Daniel
The Steps of a Good Man Are Ordered by the Lord
Your Characters Are Shaped By The Company You Keep
Consistency of the Walk
Then the Trial Came
The Enemies Evil Motives
Oh the Sweetness of God’s Redemption
Poem - Torn Angel He gave to her the gift of a bridegroom
Adorned since the foundation of the world
His task was to be his joy
To bind up all the wounds
And all the tears in the Torn Angel

Poem - Across All The Lost Miles Across all the lost miles
I’ve been welcomed home
. . .
Accepted and forgiven
I let go of all the years
All those wasted journeys

Poem -
On a day I already remember
From the foundation of the world
I heard Your voice speaking

. . .
As You led captivity captive
At the dawn of the world

Poem - Me, a Life in You  All the lonely years are wrapped up in You
You gave meaning to the wasted days
...
All to make something extraordinary
Me - a life in You.
Prayer & The Body of Christ in Perth Jesus has made provision for all that we need pertaining to life but often we seem to have a problem of access. My prayer for me and mine and your prayer for you and yours and usually not somebody else’s prayer - is the means of accessing the provision. I believe that when the scriptures tell us that the same spirit dwells within me/you that raised Christ from the dead and that this same spirit will quicken/strengthen my/our/your mortal body by implication this means our prayers will be quickened. If we pray diligently our city of Perth will be changed, the Body of Christ in our city and also in our nation would change. It will become less spotty and without so many blemishes. It will become progressively more glorious and so His Bride will bring Him more glory. If we would pray together – if the various church leaders pray together and submit to one another and prefer one another – if the different churches come together in one accord, in unity, putting aside our petty theological differences and rebuke the spirits of competitiveness and criticism and judgement and condemnation and support one another, esteem one another and love on each other – oh my brother and sister – it will put a smile on the Father’s face and Father, Son and Holy Spirit will be up doing a jig in heaven.
