Mother Tereasa Mothers or  mothers to be are always special, this is why I love mother's day it gives men a chance to show our appreciation for the women who brought us into the world. I always thought it was not fair that women are the underdogs in this world so they seem as second class citizens (James Brown said it best in his song It's A Mans World). Thank God for The Virgin Mary who is not just esteemed by Christians but Muslims also. A Little known fact about women chosen and used was a young girl named Florrie Evans who said in a meeting she loved the Lord Jesus with all her heart which led to recognising the presence of The Holy Spirit, which sparked off the expectation for the Welsh Revival of 1904. This weeks guest was an orphan in Mother Teressa India orphanage listen to a testimony which will bless and encourage .

Marriage Can it Last On 4 November 2012 my wife and I celebrated 17 years of marriage. The bible talks about tribulations well I understand that to make a marriage work a lot of patience is needed. I use to be a boxer so I'm use to giong the distance but in the christian walk we are told to put on our battle outfit. Nowadays with everything being instant and cheaper to buy new than repair, it seems that many are not treasuring marriage like the old days. Jesus said God created one man for one woman some people think (usally men) a man needs more thn one woman muslims can have upto four? The bible state that we must show love to man otherwise we cannot truley love God. So how do we get away with it? 'as Christians' if we truley are saved we should be able to go back to the one we married and ask for forgiveness but instead we move on to the next partner and make some excuse why things didn't work out. I've been wondering how God looks ...

Face To Face With Jesus I was in a bad mood with a friend of Jesus and I said a prayer that went something like this Lord Christians do what they want to and use your name to justify what they do. The next thing I knew was I was kneeling at the feet of Jesus understanding the scripture that when he appears, we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is?  He showed me how people are judged and that there is no time in the spirit. As I grow in the Spirit Iam understanding more about the face to face encounter. God knows what we are going to do before we do it, many of the things we do he dissaproves of so when we thing that we only can do what God allows this is not true but there is a line which God does not let satan cross in individual lives according tio what you can bear.

The Grace Outpouring Wales a Nation so richly blessed with revivals has drifted far away from its former Christian days, however prayer seems to increase when it starts getting dark spiritually. Gods Spirit is moving in an area called Ffald-Y-Brenin  I have just finished reading a book entitled 'The Grace Outpouring'. Its a book of revival with The Spirit of God moving in the district so powerfully that cattle, land and streems started to flourish. Sounds incredible, but God is drawing people to this little village from different parts of the world and touching them in a deep way so that the change is apparent to all. I was stirred to read about a lady from Australia who visited the retreat, who had Welsh roots but with a hatred for Wales. She went on a tour of a mine that her grandad worked and realised that her anger towards the Welsh was ungodly, she repented. A man gave her some coal to take back to her country when she took it to her church a revival b...

Revival Starts With You charlie Stacey will be my guest 11-11-12  Charlie was a friend of the minister who baptised the Jeffery brothers who were converted in the Welsh Revival of 1904. Here his personal testimony and his stories from  this Revival Nation of Wales. Each year in November I dedicate  the month to revival. In 1904 Wales was visited by The Spirit of God, Evan Roberts was taken to heaven for 3 or 4  months where he communed face to face  with Almighty God for 4 hours. This is why his name stands out as the instrument used for revival. God chooses the vessel he want to use because he knows our hearts. This is why we should ask ourself, do I want to be used or am I luke warm. The bible teaches that God wants friends to communicate with and so hr can  show them things to come. It would be good to see God move across this land again I believe were at a time when individual revival will bring conviction to others & 'jud...

Have We Inspired The Nation It was Eric Liddell who refused to race on a Sunday in 1924 because he was a man of principle who never wanted to dishonor God by racing on Sunday. His Olympic victory was portrayed in the film Chariots of Fire. The last words he spoke before he died were "complete surrender". I have just finished reading his biography of the same name, in a year when ' Inspire a Nation' is on everyone's lips. Mr Liddells life was a life of total surrender he spent many years of his life as a missionary in China and he was there throughout WWII. The book gives personal details of the treatment of Christian missionaries and Chinese sufferring in these war torn times. Eric Liddell always had a smile and gave 100% in all his work. When it comes to true Christianity its about putting others first Paul The Apostle said follow me as I follow Christ? from his biography you can realise that Eric Liddell walked as Christ walk with humility and determination...

There is a difference When I was a  child many churches and evangelist held what was called 'revival meetings'. Now I realise that they were just meetings with  a lot of publicity. How should revival be defined? Is there any real revival happening in the world today? Many people have passed who have seen revival.  Evan Roberts, Dr Edwin Orr and Duncan Campbell are a few men who have seen real revival which changed cities and nations. Now this is what I call revival, is there another type? In the New Testiment it was said of the disciples "These men turned the world upside down" I thank God for the example he has left us. What I often ponder is where are the revivalist? Would your neighbours testify to the fact that they see Jesus in you. Let us bless and stop complaining so much this is my determination. Tune in Sunday Morning to hear Evangelist Dave Pritchard Founder of The Room 4 U. A man of God who feed and provides shelter for the homless and ha...
