Just to let you know...
I'm presently just putting together a new site for a family member which has made it difficult for me to write-up my blogs. But I shall soon be in a position to do so. and looking forward to it... 

I'm off down to a Church in Essex for some prayer on Tuesday the 1st of December and expect God to do great things, please keep me in your prayers for that day...All good things come from God, He is light and in Him there is no Darkness.

See you very soon. 

Before I was a Christian, and to be honest, in my early days of seeking after God I had a real anger towards the idea of having to ‘Fear God’ . Why did I want anything to do with a God that I would have to be terrified of?

Now better informed I obviously see things much differently, we can only make ‘informed’ decisions on information we have at hand and with the ‘god of this World’ blinding the eyes of the people we have to dig a little to get at the truth. How blessed it is to have your eyes opened and what a difference it makes to each day and every relationship when you can truly see. How many times have we chosen to hate someone because we were so sure that they stole something from us or slandered us only to find out that we were ill informed. When we eventually discovered the truth it ‘instantly’ set us free from a burning hatred, a terrible burden, depression or even bondage to a habit such as drinking etc... If such a great change can happen when you discovered the truth regarding such a small thing, imagine the changed life when you discover the real truth about life itself! Getting back to the ‘fear of God’, again I was reminded of a child trying to grab one of those lovely glowing coals from the fireplace . Any loving parent would pull them back instantly denying them their wish and educating them of the consequences of such an action. But the rebellious (like me ) may not listen but rather decide that they are being unfairly denied something wonderful. And once again the loving parent would pull them back, yet if this was to continue eventually the child would have to be rebuked, not out of hatred but through love and by doing so save the child from great harm. What peace enters into a household where the children fear their parents and what peace enters into the life of a person when they know and fear the Lord, the Lord who dearly cares for them.

I understand that there are many children who fear their parents for all the wrong reasons, some even using such Scriptures to abuse and dominate them, I do not say that is good but only use the above as an example to expound what I have learned through the years of knowing God and His love for me and for you. As a ‘just and loving’ parent is trying to prepare their children for the time when they will have to take responsibility for their own actions so our Heavenly Father is preparing us for something much greater. Yes, that we may have peace and blessings in this life but for much much more. Somehow, I don't know how I do it, I always seem to come back to the coming Millennium, forgive me but it is one of those subjects that has always fascinated me as it is spread all over the Bible!
