At the end of last month I was one of the speakers at a conference in Jeffreys Bay South Africa and while there I felt God began to speak to me about "fresh fire" and I that I needed to take steps into what God was speaking into my heart and felt that deep inside there was a fanning of the flame taking place, and a release of a new sound began to come during the times of worship, which released God's presence and power in many lives...including mine!!!

Since coming home this deep longing has continued to grow and a few weeks back while leading worship at Ivy Cottage we sang the song Consuming Fire whose opening line says " There must be more than this". One of the members of our community came to the front and felt strongly we should be singing " I KNOW THERE'S MORE THAN THIS" - as we began to sing this confession I once more felt precious Holy Spirit come and fan the flame yet again...

and then... accounts started to come through about what has been happening at the meetings taking place in Lakewood Florida and God fire beging released in such an awesome way in so many people lives... the key to this outpouring? - A PASSION FOR INTIMACY

My dear friends...this is a new season whe God is drawing His Bride back... back to HIM ; a season where the Fire of Intimacy is being fanned afresh... and the cry of my heart is JESUS I LOVE YOU... more and more and more of You... ever increasing fascination with My beloved Jesus...let Your Glory be released in greater measure here in Manchester and around the world.

Whatever it takes...YES LORD

YOUR KINDGOM COME!!!
