Pete shares from 2 Corinthians 4:4 and John 8:12 about Jesus, the light of the world and takes us on a journey though the Gospel of John where Jesus declares seven times 'I AM.........'. It's amazing to know and believe that the great I AM dwells within each born again believer, and that we can bring the same I AM to the world around us!
“I am the bread of life” (John 6:35, 41, 48, 51)
“I am the light of the world” (John 8:12; 9:5)
“I am the door” (John 10:7 and 9)
“I am the good shepherd” (John 10:11, 14).

“I am the way and the truth and the life” (John 14:6)

Pete shares keys on how to build a stronghold of TRUTH in our lives that will displace the attempts of the enemy to distract us. We are a walking weather system and who He says we are, the testimonies we have, Biblical declarations and the prophetic words over our lives all serve to displace the enemy. Here are some declarations to make.....
I am complete in Him Who is the head over all rule and authority—of every angelic and earthly power - Colossians 2:10
I am alive with Christ Ephesians 2:5
I am free from the law of sin and death - Romans 8:2
I am far from oppression, and will not live in fear - Isaiah 54:14
I am born of God, and the evil one does not touch me - 1 John 5:18
I have the peace of God that surpasses all understanding - Philippians 4:7
The Spirit of God, who is greater than the enemy in the world, lives in me - 1 John 4:4

Jeni's message this morning highlights that we should beware of the familiar and that our worship affects the atmosphere around us. Drawing from the story of Paul & Silas worshipping in song whilst in jail Jeni shares how worship caused a shift and ultimately their freedom, and the salvation of the jailer and his family. Wherever we are let us worship Him and se the world around us be transformed for His glory.
