Hope Revisited

Kingdom Heritage Videos

As some of you know, Roger and I have recently made a number of videos about Signs of Hope & Revival. We started this series after being led to “walk in revival” as we visited the Telford and Wrekin area of Shropshire. This is the link to our YouTube channel:

Those videos now include (in our Revival playlist):

Signs of Hope & Revival – parts 1 and 2 – focusing on some of the spiritual foundations of Revival including the prayers of God’s people spoken over centuries; the church’s positioning for revival and other places where early signs are being seen.

Signs of Hope & Revival – spotlighting two new churches in Telford: All Nations (which has a Community Grocery) and Telford Minster (which is situated in the heart of the shopping centre and is a CofE plant aimed at the younger generations, although not exclusively).

Both of these new churches have had many full immersion baptisms since the beginning of 2022. Some of these were outside in very cold weather!

Further videos include two testimonies of young men who were on the very edge of despair and suicide. Victor and Lee. They are now, through a Community Chaplaincy, baptised followers of Jesus and more are being added to their number with a real regularity. We have these two stories in our good news playlist.

Our latest one in the same “Signs” series is called Talking Revival. We have strung together some interesting comments from people we’ve met to act as a catalyst for discussion and prayer. That’s in the Revival playlist, too.

Our next project is to edit some excellent material we’ve gathered from Yellow Ribbon, the Community Chaplaincy I mentioned above. These things take time!

Encouragement

We produce our videos to encourage God’s people and to stir up prayer and discussion. So please do share the links around, if they encourage you.

We were personally encouraged to visit a local Baptist Church on Easter Sunday, only to discover that the minister was going to show Lee’s Story. It was such a catalyst to that congregation! It gave an opportunity for some prophetic words to be spoken and received. God was in the house!

Hope deferred

God’s Word tells us this:

Hope deferred makes the heart sick but a longing fulfilled is a tree of life.

Proverbs 13:12

Jesus is that tree of life. I plunged into a spiritually low place in the last day or so. It just happened. But God used it to bring forth a poem from my low point. It’s the next post on this blog as it’s long!!

Blessing you all with fresh hope as we move from Easter to Pentecost.
