THE DANIEL VOICE

by Wes Boxall

Having spent several hours this past week in our month of prayer sessions, especially crying out to God for our nation and Government, and for Him to raise up the godly in authority, and then having spoken this weekend on our “School of Prophets” regarding the prophetic voice being released into every area of government and society – the ‘Daniels’ – I was well blessed to read a tweet from Beth Redman this afternoon.

“Beth Redman: Heading home from an extraordinary mtg in Westminster talking to MP’s about @TheA21Campaign schools program#didthatreallyjusthappen?!!”

Well done Beth! Bring it on!! May God establish His ‘Daniel’ voices and His agents throughout this land and release a turning back to Him… for the sake of us all, especially our children and grandchildren.

 

SECOND WEEK OF PRAYER

Well, what an awesome week of prayer it has been in Golden Valley Church this week, as members have gathered together to pray for our church, city, and nation.

In the Bible God says, “If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves and pray, and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, forgive their sin, and heal their land” (2 Chron. 7:14).

There can be no doubt that our land is broken and needs healing. Politicians have referred to ‘Broken Britain’. God offers us the answer to our brokenness. To humble ourselves, pray, seek Him and turn around from doing wrong in His eyes.

We are praying for our nation to do this very thing. God promises healing if we do. What is the answer for Britain? For Europe? There is only one primary answer according to this scripture – to turn back to God and let Him back in.

Please pray with us, that pockets of praying Christians will take their place across our nation; in hospitals and schools, in offices and factories, in Government and police, in homes and churches. Our God hears and answers prayer.

SCHOOL OF PROPHETS RESTARTS

GVC School of Prophets recommences on Saturday 11th February after the winter break. Participants will continue training in Biblical prophetic and communicating God’s voice and heart.
So far the course has been well attended and appreciated. We look forward to more as we continue.

HONOURING JEAN

The memorial service for our dear sister and member, Jean Besley, was held at a fully packed Christchurch in Ross-on-Wye on Saturday afternoon. Tributes were given by family members and by Wes Boxall, and the service was led by Pastors John & Sue Gasston of New Life Church, Ross. Friends gathered from all over the area to honour Jean, and to stand with the family who are mourning the sudden loss of wife and mother.

During the service the congregation sang many of Jean’s favourite songs and hymns as a tribute to her. Above all else she was a passionate worshipper.

Pastor Sue Gasston gave a short message on the ‘parable of the talents’ and being faithful in all that God has given to us as individuals, as Jean herself had done.

Refreshments were served after the service in the church hall.

We continue to pray for the family at their time of loss.

A memorial page has been set up on Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/groups/164552550318033/

VENUE CHANGE

Due to the lack of adequate heating, Sunday morning services over the next two weeks will be at the Firehouse in Coney Hill, and not at Innsworth Community Hall. Start time 10:30am.

FIREHOUSE

The work on renovating the chapel in Coney Hill is continuing at a pace, with internal painting finished, and plumbing and electrics almost there.
The chapel will be renamed ‘The Firehouse’ as we expect the fire of God’s love to warm people’s lives as they come to it.
We look forward to being able to use the venue for church functions and events very soon, and trust we will be able to bless the local community also.

PUPPETS

Christmas Puppet Show by “the Gladiators”

CHRISTMAS SPECIAL

This Sunday was our Christmas Service in Innsworth Community Hall. After an awesome worship time, the meeting moved into a ‘Christmas Special’ with drama, carols, readings, and a special nativity puppet presentation by the Gladiators, which had the whole congregation in hysterics.

SOAKING PRAYER

This evening the soaking prayer session in Churchdown led by Amanda and Rachel was an awesome time! The Presence of God was thick and the whole evening sensitive and worshipful.

Different students from the School of Leaders are leading ‘soaking’ events as part of their training. Well done ladies!
