Celebration Update October 2012

How blessed are the people who know the joyful sound! O Lord, they walk in the light of your countenance (Psalm 89:15).

We are preparing for our seventh and final Celebration in Wales! Just recently the Lord has been bringing back to my heart many things that Hespoke to me in 2007. It is as if He is showing me that to complete the worship intercession in Wales that we call Celebration for the Nations we need to come back to the beginning but, maybe after these years of journey together, with a fuller understanding.

Celebration for the Nations 2012 report

My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness(2 Corinthians 12:9).

What beautiful outpourings of God’s grace we experienced during the Celebration this year. The power and love of Jesus is indeed made perfect in weakness.

Many of us had struggles this year, and I know some made great sacrifices to come and worship. The Lord sees everything.

Celebration for the Nations
Update July 2012

We are now just days away from this year’s Celebration for the Nations. Our hearts are full of expectation. Our longing is to worship the Lord as he deserves. Let’s pray as people travel that all will go smoothly, and nothing will stop anyone who should be here from gathering.

It’s the Festival Fields for 2013!

Celebration for the Nations

Update June 2012

Those who look to HIM are radiant, and their faces shall never be ashamed (Psalm 34:5).

Look to Jesus! Don’t look at the problem, don’t see the impossibility, but look to the One who created the world by his word, and breathed out the stars that no man can yet number!

Streams in the Desert
Scientists say the notoriously dry continent of Africa is sitting on a vast reservoir of groundwater. (Matt McGrath, Science reporter, BBC world service)

The map below was printed on the BBC website, showing some of the driest regions on earth, including parts of the Sahara desert, having vast reserves of underground water.

Why did the Lord say sing?
David determined that he would awaken the dawn with his songs:

I will sing and make melody! Awake my glory! Awake, O harp and lyre! I will awaken the dawn! (Psalm 57:7-8)

If we will awaken our own hearts to see who the Lord really is and sing to him, we too can call in a new day.

Celebration for the Nations
February 2012 Update

‘Rend your hearts and not your garments’ (Joel 2:13).

Joel spoke to Israel on the Lord’s behalf at a time of national devastation. The Lord’s judgement had come on the land, so that the harvests were ruined, and all that people had worked for had come to nothing. Today many of our economies are based more on manufacture than on agriculture, yet it seems to me that for many of our nations, the same locusts of God’s judgement are devouring our wealth and our lives. As God’s people we have the privilege and the responsibility to stand on behalf of our towns, cities, and our nations and cry out for his mercy.
