GETTING CONNECTED, LOVING JESUS
AND LIVING OUT HIS MISSION
Open Heaven
Have you ever had those dreams that just seem so real, that when you wake up you are not sure whether it was a dream or it was actually real? You may have even asked someone if it happened, or you might have pinched yourself to see if you have woken up.
I have dreams sometimes, where I wake up from those dreams, but I'm actually still dreaming and I can do that multiple times. It's like dreams within dreams, each time I wake up I realise I am actually still dreaming. The film inception, brings this concept of dreams within dreams, and it can be so real, that it even affects what happens in the real world.
Sometimes it can be like that for Christians, or even for people who aren't Christians but are looking at Christians from the outside in. It's as if we are not totally sure what to believe, what is real, or just a big dream, something of our imagination, or something we should live in. But what if our dreams are real, in fact are more real than we realise?
What if there are places in God, in heaven that we can access, that begin to shape the world in which we know, maybe we aren't as crazy as we, or others, first expect.

Have you ever watched birds in flight as they flock together in one formation, how they move together perfectly, not one is out of place? You see the same with shoals of fish as they dart from one direction to the other in perfect synchronisation. When life works in harmony it is a beautiful thing. Its like a piece of music when played together in harmony sounds heavenly, its atmospheric, even tangible. The church is to be like that masterpiece of music, those animals in formation. We are to work seamlessly together, and in so doing we create something beautiful. Its connects us profoundly with our creator, and this brings deep joy. ...

We carry on our journey through Philippians, this week looking at chapter 2. This chapter challenges us to live in a radical way, showing radical love to those around us and in doing so bringing about a fundamental change to the world we live in. This radical love is shown to us through the birth and life of Jesus, and we are to follow the example of Christ's humility in putting others first. Only when we begin to function in true humility will we begin to see the world around us change. ...

Paul was one of the greatest minds, he had position and status, his was loved by the rich and the religious. You might think that he would feel that he deserved the best, and to be treated right. He was a Jew and yet a Roman citizen with rights, but now he has landed in prison for his faith, and rather than grumbling and giving up, he writes the most extraordinary letter to the Christians in Philippi. This is a church that he planted and loves, and his letter is not about how bad his life is, but its all about how good God is, its all about Jesus, its all about Joy. And as we come into Christmas and as we begin to think about Jesus coming into history, we begin to see that at the heart of Jesus message of love is Joy, we begin to see that in Jesus a new revolution begins and its purpose is to sweep across this world. ...

Being a Christian isn’t always easy… If we truly want to live for Christ - it costs, we need perseverance, we need to be willing to let go of our life, and as Jesus said - we need to loose our life, if we want to truly find his. I have been asking myself - What Kind of Christians is the church producing today? Are we anything like the picture God had in mind? We want to portray the true gospel, and see real authentic Christians being disciples and looking to make other disciples, who are willing to come and be a living sacrifice and whose delight is Jesus....

Have you ever gone though life wondering where God is? It might not be that is was particularly a bad time of life, but you just couldn’t really see what God was doing? This can often be the case both in the good, bad, but also normal parts of life. Have you ever then looked back over that time and as you have looked Suddenly God reveals to you what he was doing, and where he was? All of a sudden you see how God was fully in it?...

What it is to be free. Over the centuries people have fought for freedom - freedom of speech, freedom to vote, freedom to be. I think of the great Christian William Wilberforce - who fought to ban slavery, so that men and woman could be free. But there is something greater at stake here, something bigger than the earthly struggles we face, and that is eternal salvation, eternal freedom - this is the reason Jesus came - to give us life, Jesus came to cut us off from the power of sin, so we could stand right before God forever free....

Weakness is not often seen as a positive thing. If you call someone weak it would be seen as an insult, a slight on someones character, as not very nice. Yet the bible encourages us to be weak, because it is in our weakness that God can be strong (2 Cor 12v10)....
