Yesterday I attended my final meeting with my Church of God peers as a Church of God credentialled minister.
I voluntarily resigned and surrendered my credentials in order that I can pursue a new, fresh calling on my life from the Lord. This has been the result of many months of prayer, bible reading, heart searching and self examination all of which meant getting very quiet before Him. There have been some times of difficulty but but many more of joy and revelation. Never before in my life and walk have I loved the Lord Jesus so much as I do now and am so very excited about what I believe the Holy Spirit has shown me and where I believe He is leading me.
Politics and etiquette have meant I have been silent on many matters,not wishing to be divisive in any way, but in the coming months and posts I hope to explain a little more fully about simple/house church. At all times I will continue to stress that I do not want to dismantle the institutional church[es] but believe that the time has come for there to be Life in the Gaps!
I wish to issue an open invitation to any of you who read this or hear about what I am doing for the Lord and have questions to come and have a coffee and a chat. Alternatively you might want to ask me round!
As a minister and pastor, my door was always open and remains so now in this new season. I have nothing to hide and welcome open fellowship with any and all.
I urge you all to develop a close, closet [ intimate ] relationship with the Father through the person of Jesus and in the power of His Holy Spirit and be personally inspired to pursue your own revelation of His plan to prosper you in all good things.
May the Heavenly Father bless you richly as you look to Him and Him alone for life and strength and godliness.
With love,
Dave
