THE HEALING PRESENCE.
What we focus on we move towards and what we behold we become. Establishing a proper vision of how our souls are thoroughly made whole is a prerequisite to us experiencing that wholeness. Listen in to this weeks message as we delve into why we need the healing Presence and power of Christ to make us psychologically, emotionally and physically whole.

#48 Christ The Healer 2

Friends, 

We’re beginning a new series around;

What’s your Covid recovery plan?

The vaccination programme has been rolled out and is proving to help us recover from the lockdown restrictions we’ve all had to endure.

However, what are you doing for the recovery of your heart and mind after the trauma it’s suffered these last 15months? 

Our souls are weary of the uncertainty and the technology overload and constant stimulation we’ve been forced to adapt to throughout this pandemic. 

We need rest and recovery for our souls! What can we do to find them? 

Join us for part one of our series as we delve into some practices essential to cultivating our recovery and restoration. 🔥❤️

#54 What's Your COVID Recovery Plan? 1

Here’s some of the best advice I’ve ever heard when it comes to dealing with the frets, frustrations, hurts and disappointments we all experience in life, and have all undoubtedly experienced more of during the pandemic; 

“If anything frustrate or annoy, fret or disturb you, deal with that and get that righted before God before you allow yourself to speak to, or meet anybody, or to undertake any new duty.”

Listen in to this weeks message as Marin King and Derek encourage you to pencil in the practice of these things as part of your inner life’s Covid recovery plan. (p.s sorry for some of the disturbance during the recording due to Port Ban's poor WIFI) 

“You shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free.” (John8:32)🔥❤️

#56 What's Your COVID Recovery Plan? 3

Do we have to grow in learning to overcome the difficulties we face in life? Does the Bible say it's to them who don't face up to and conquer or is it to those who overcome is the promise given? Join us as we delve into these things and much more over the coming weeks. 

First up is Paul& Pauline Tuthill. After an injury that partly disabled him, Paul went on a downward spiral and eventually became 58.5 stone in weight. He had been told by consultants that he wouldn't walk again, that he would be on pain medication the rest of his life and to top it all off was misdiagnosed as having borderline personality disorder. You can imagine what this done to his mental health. He lost the will to live! But somehow he made it through this dark time and miraculously lost all the excess weight, came off all the pain meds and now has a quality of life he never thought was possible. Listen in to part 1 of this truly remarkable story of how they overcame. 🔥❤️

#61 OVERCOMERS: Paul Tuthill part 1

Join us this week as Derek shares a message around 'BE OF GOOD CHEER' We couldn't do a series on the subject of Overcoming and not talk about the sublime truths from John 16. Jesus came to earth and showed us a God who was unharmed and unconquered by evil, conquering it at every point!!! And whats more He told us to "BE OF GOOD CHEER".....that in His conquering Power we can walk unharmed today. Sounds too good to be true right? Listen in and find out for yourself! 🔥🗡🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

#65 OVERCOMERS: Be Of Good Cheer

Session 2: Benevolent Detachment 

Jesus offers us an unburdened life. He invites us to come to Him for rest and refreshment. He invites us to to throw all our cares onto Him, for He cares about righting whats wrong and He encourages us to learn to live freely and lightly. Sounds to good to be true right? Is this even possible in a world full of unrest and distraction? 

We explore the practice of Benevolent Detachment in this session, the practice of giving everyone and everything to God to release our energy sapping burdens and cares.

#90 Resilient: Benevolent Detachment

There are some things we get from God that don't come from our own efforts. We receive them by Grace, through Faith. 

The children of Israel didn't enter into rest because of their unbelief. They didn't trust God to do what He said He would do.

 We can believe that we are unworthy and  don't deserve what God promises and fail to experience rest and peace, forgiveness and healing because of our beliefs. 

Join us for this week's message, Learning the Unforced Rhythms of Grace, as we unpack this beautiful offer and offer truth that makes free. 🔥🗡🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

....

"Now the promise of entering into God’s rest is still for us today. So we must be extremely careful to ensure that we all embrace the fullness of that promise and not fail to experience it. So we conclude that there is still a full and complete Sabbath-rest  waiting for believers  to experience. As we enter into God’s faith-rest life we cease from our own works, just as God celebrates his finished works and rests in them. So then we must be eager to experience this faith-rest life, so that no one falls short by following the same pattern of doubt and unbelief." (Heb 4:1, 9-11) TPT

....

"Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you’ll recover your life. I’ll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me—watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won’t lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you’ll learn to live freely and lightly.” (Matt 11:28-30) MESS

#118 Entering Into Rest: LEARNING THE UNFORCED RHYTHMS OF GRACE

Recorded at our second Resilient retreat at the beginning of 2024.

The invitation was to draw near to God and replenish our reserves and receive strength as we enter into the New Year.

Our themes were Union with God and Emotional Resilience.

This is session 2, Union With God.
🗡🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🔥❤️

#130 Resilient 24: UNION WITH GOD

How important is it to resolve our personal conflicts quickly?

Do you ever feel stuck and trapped in hurt, resentment, self reproach after experiencing a difficulty or failure?

Join us as we start a series to establish the facts around our personal responsibility to keep ourselves ‘UNSTUCK.’ 

"You shall KNOW the truth and the truth shall set you free." 🗡🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿❤️🔥🙏🏻

....

"Be angry [at sin—at immorality, at injustice, at ungodly behavior], yet do not sin; do not let your anger [cause you shame, nor allow it to] last until the sun goes down. And do not give the devil an opportunity [to lead you into sin by holding a grudge, or nurturing anger, or harboring resentment, or cultivating bitterness]." (Eph 4:26-27) AMP 

....

"Pursue peace with all people, and holiness, without which no one will see the Lord: looking carefully lest anyone fall short of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up cause trouble, and by this many become defiled." (Heb 12:14-15) NKJ

#137 Unstuck: DON'T LET THE SUN GO DOWN ON YOUR ANGER

A trigger is something that causes or sets in motion an emotional reaction in our lives, reactions that can lead to stuck feelings, unhelpful thoughts or acting out behviours.  

Every triggered part, however unpleasant,  presents us an opportunity for growth.

Gaining awareness  and learning to better deal with our triggered parts is key to better navigating our lives. Are you aware of those things that trigger you?



Listen in to this weeks message as Derek interviews his special guests, Fintan & Elaine Supple, therapists from Dublin and Wild at Heart allies,  as they delve into this important topic. 

"You shall know the truth and the truth shall make you fee."  🗡🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇮🇪🔥❤️

'He who receives and welcomes and accepts you receives and accepts Me, and he who receives and accepts Me receives and accepts Him Who sent Me. 

He who receives a prophet because he is a prophet shall receive a prophet's reward, and he who receives  a righteous man because he is a righteous man shall receive a righteous man's reward. 

And whoever gives to one of these little ones [in rank or influence] even a cup of cold water because he is My disciple, surely I declare to you, he shall not lose his reward.'
(Matthew 10:40-42) Amp

....

Dear brothers & sisters, is your life full of difficulties and temptations? 

Then be happy, for when the way is rough, your patience has a chance to grow. 

So let it grow, and don’t try to squirm out of your problems. 

For when your patience is finally in full bloom, then you will be ready for anything, strong in character, full and complete.
(James 1: 1-4) TLB

#143 Unstuck: TRIGGERS

Prov 15:15 says;

"All the days of the desponding and afflicted are made evil [by anxious thoughts and forebodings], but he who has a glad heart has a continual feast [regardless of circumstances]." 

Do you recognise parts of you that are hopeless and burdened by the feeling that something bad is going to happen, dread or fearful apprehension? Do you feel there are parts of you that are beyond hope to change? 

Join us for part 2 of our series on Rooted & Grounded in Love as Martin King & Derek share around the transforming power of learning to embrace every part of oursleves, especially the burdened, painful parts!! 

Praying this deeply encourages and blesses you as you listen in. "You shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free!!!" 🗡🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🔥❤️

"Someone says: “Build, build! Make a road!
Clear the way, remove the rocks
from the road my people will travel.”  (Isaiah 57:14)

....

“Come to Me, all who are weary and heavily burdened [by religious rituals that provide no peace], and I will give you rest [refreshing your souls with salvation]. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me [following Me as My disciple], for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest (renewal, blessed quiet) for your souls. For My yoke is easy [to bear] and My burden is light.” (Matt 11:28-30) Amp

#145 Rooted & Grounded in Love: EMBRACING OURSELVES

The song says; 'Will your anchor hold through the storms of life?'

Its a good question to ask ourselves as we face storms in our lives, marriages, families, nation and world. Can we access an anchor that keeps our souls steadfast and sure in the midst of violent distrubences in the atmospheres of our lives and world? 

We're excited to welcome David English, who works with our partner charity Broken Chains, onto the podcast for the first time to share a vision God gave him a couple of weeks ago around this very topic. 
Give it a listen if you're free or want to be free  😃🗡🛡🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🔥❤️

....

"This hope [this confident assurance] we have as an anchor of the soul [it cannot slip and it cannot break down under whatever pressure bears upon it]—a safe and steadfast hope that enters within the veil [of the heavenly temple, that most Holy Place in which the very presence of God dwells]." (Heb 6:19) AMP

....

Peter’s Confession of Christ

"Now when Jesus went into the region of Caesarea Philippi, He asked His disciples, “Who do people say that the Son of Man is?” And they answered, “Some say John the Baptist; others, Elijah; and still others, Jeremiah, or [just] one of the prophets.” He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” Simon Peter replied, “You are the Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed), the Son of the living God.” Then Jesus answered him, “Blessed [happy, spiritually secure, favored by God] are you, Simon son of Jonah, because flesh and blood (mortal man) did not reveal this to you, but My Father who is in heaven. And I say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church; and the gates of Hell will not prevail against it."  (Matt 16:13-18)

#147 Rooted & Grounded in Love: WILL YOUR ANCHOR HOLD?

After the horror of last weeks stabbings in Southport we offer this message to acknowledge and validate the anger, bitterness and outrage many throughout the country feel and also to ask the question; 

how can we channel this anger and unrest into action that can effect change and hold our elected leaders to account? 🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️❤️

#148 A WORD ON THE SOUTHPORT STABBINGS

#149 Captives Freed - Hearts Healed: HEALING OF THE HEART

Have you heard the saying that time is a healer? How's that worked out in your story? Experience has taught me that its what we do with our time that makes a difference! 

...


The effects of the traumatic things we've experienced don't disapprear over time. Unless we address them they just sink deep within us and continue to influence our lives and cause all sorts of behavioural, mental, & relational problems. 

So, what can we do to address our pain and get our freedom back?

Join us as we begin a new series around the Freedom of Forgiveness. Our first session was spoken recently to a group of men in a rehabilitation centre around the topic of freeing ourselves from what others have done to us. A fitting place to start!!

'Then, the same day at evening, being the first day of the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the midst, and said to them, “Peace be with you.” When He had said this, He showed them His hands and His side. Then the disciples were glad when they saw the Lord. So Jesus said to them again, “Peace to you! As the Father has sent Me, I also send you.” And when He had said this, He breathed on them, and said to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit. If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven them; if you retain the sins of any, they are retained.”' (John 20:19-23) NKJ

#160 Resilient 25: LET NOT YOUR HEART BE TROUBLED

We hear alot nowadays about living our best life & being the best version of ourselves that we can be. 

....

What does that look like for you?  Have you ever considered what it looks like according to Jesus who said; "“I am the Vine, you are the branches. When you’re joined with me and I with you, the relation intimate and organic, the harvest is sure to be abundant. SEPARATED, YOU CAN'T PRODUCE A THING." (John 15:5) Mess

He seems to be saying that living a life of true fulfillment and success, OUR BEST LIFE, is impossible without a connection to the Source of life Himself. 

....

Join us as we embark on a new series to establish the facts and discover truths that set us free to Live Our Best lives in 2025. Here's part 1 delivered at House of Prayer church, Annbank,  entitled; "WATCH & PRAY AN HOUR A DAY."

....

"Then Jesus came with them to a place called Gethsemane, and said to the disciples, “Sit here while I go and pray over there.” And He took with Him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and He began to be sorrowful and deeply distressed. Then He said to them, “My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death. Stay here and watch with Me.”
He went a little farther and fell on His face, and prayed, saying, “O My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as You will.”
Then He came to the disciples and found them sleeping, and said to Peter, “What! Could you not watch with Me one hour? Watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.” (Matt 26: 36-41)

....

"Then He said to them, “My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death. Stay here and watch.”
He went a little farther, and fell on the ground, and prayed that if it were possible, the hour might pass from Him. And He said, “Abba, Father, all things are possible for You. Take this cup away from Me; nevertheless, not what I will, but what You will.”
Then He came and found them sleeping, and said to Peter, “Simon, are you sleeping? Could you not watch one hour? Watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.” (Mark 14: 34-38)

....

"And He was withdrawn from them about a stone’s throw, and He knelt down and prayed, saying, “Father, if it is Your will, take this cup away from Me; nevertheless not My will, but Yours, be done.” Then an angel appeared to Him from heaven, strengthening Him. And being in agony, He prayed more earnestly. Then His sweat became like great drops of blood falling down to the ground.
When He rose up from prayer, and had come to His disciples, He found them sleeping from sorrow. Then He said to them, “Why do you sleep? Rise and pray, lest you enter into temptation.” (Luke 22: 41-46)

....

The strong spirit of a man sustains him in bodily pain or trouble, but a weak and broken spirit who can raise up or bear? (Prov 18:14)

#161 Living Your Best Life - According to Jesus: WATCH & PRAY AN HOUR A DAY

Can we be emotionally healthy, present & spiritually alive in the tech obsessed, fast paced modern world we live in? 

Can we get our attention back from being so distracted and consumed with media?

Can we find rest for our souls in the restlessness that plagues our lives?

Join us on this new journey to find these things out and more. 

"You shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free." (John 8:32) 🗡🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🔥❤️

#162 Take Your Life Back: SITUATIONAL AWARENESS

St Augustine is quoted as saying, "We must empty ourselves of all that fills us, so we may be filled with what we are empty of."

What are you full of? Jesus says; "Where your treasure is, thats where your heart will be also." Matt 6: 19-21 Meaning what we treasure most, what we spend our time and attention on, is what we'll be full of.

#163 Take Your Life Back: SELF - EMPTYING

TRANSFORMED; Charles 'Savage' Kingsman's story of Redemption; This is episode 1 of a new series looking at the process of Transformation in individual lives. We all have a story, and no matter what's going on in yours there is always the possibility of change and growth. But How? We'll explore how sharing the story of your life helps you make sense of the present, and helps liberate us from the shame and sense of failure we may carry from our past.

#9 TRANSFORMED 1; Charles 'Savage' Kingsman

TRANSFORMED; This week I interview Isaac 'Geordie' Larmour. Geordie grew up with a learning disorder that left him believing that he was a reject, stupid and worthless. He placed all his hopes on becoming a pro-boxer, but these were shattered due to an eye condition that prevented him from pursuing his dream. Disappointed and discouraged, he turned to drugs and alcohol, which hardened and deaden his heart resulting in a violent, reckless lifestyle. Going nowhere, full of guilt and shame about what he'd done and who he'd become, he cried out to God. What happened next was totally miraculous!

#13 TRANSFORMED 5; Isaac 'Geordie' Larmour

The Characteristics of the Spirit of Rejection. In this weeks podcast Pastor Vince Gartland shares some of the characteristics that play out in our lives when a spirit of rejection is operating within us. Listen in to find out more.
