2003 Is 43:1-3 ...but now, thus says the Lord who created you, Jacob; who formed you, Israel: fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by your name; you are mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you. When you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through fire, you will not be burned; neither will the flames consume you. For I am your Saviour, I, the Lord, your God, the Holy One of Israel. given at the start of Carmarthen Conference 2003 Jer 29:4,7,11-14 ...the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, says this to all the exiles deported from Jerusalem to Babylon: work for the good of the land to which I have exiled you; pray to the Lord on its behalf, since on its welfare yours depends. Yes, I know what plans I have in mind for you, the Lord declares, plans for peace, not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope. When you call on me I will listen. You will seek me and find me when you search for me with all your heart. For the Lord says: I will let myself be found by you and I will gather you from among all the nations and from all the places where I have driven you and bring you back to the place from which I sent you into exile... Joel 2:12-13,18-19,23,25-27; 3:1...But now, says the Lord, turn back to me with your whole heart, with fasting, weeping, mourning. Rend your heart, not your garments. Return to the Lord, your God, gracious and compassionate. The Lord is slow to anger, full of kindness and he repents of having punished. The Lord has become jealous for his land; he has had pity on his people. The Lord has given an answer; he says to them, I am sending you grain, new wine and oil which will fully satisfy you; never again will you be scorned by the nations.....You will eat and be satisfied and you will praise the name of the Lord your God who has done wonders for you. And then you will know that I am in the midst of Israel. I, the Lord your God; no other! Never again will my people be shamed. In the last days I will pour out my Spirit on every mortal. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your old men will dream dreams, your young men will see visions. Given at the end of the last Mass of Conference 2003, Friday morning, Feast of the Queenship of Mary
Conference 2004 ‘My brothers and sisters: let there be no division among you...division always comes from the evil one (Fr David) John 17:26: Father, I have made your Name known to them and will continue to make it known, so that the love with which you loved me may be in them and so that I may be in them. (Fr David) ‘Too much wishing this and wishing that: less wishbone and more backbone. Quitters never win and winners never quit’ (Tom McNulty confirmed by Fr Laurence in his first talk and Bishop Edwin in his homily)

FRESH MANNA FOR THE DAY Each morning of the Conference, we met with Ros Powell at 7am to praise God and ask for Fresh Manna for the day. These are the words we received. Tuesday Less conversation and plenty of action!
Arise in the Name of Jesus!
Come into your calling
Rekindle the flames, come into My presence

Isaiah 43:1-5 But now, thus says the Lord, who created you, Jacob, who formed you, Israel: Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by your name; you are Mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you. When you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; neither will the flames consume you. For I am your Saviour, I, the Lord, your God, the Holy One of Israel. I give Egypt for your ransom, Ethiopia and Seba in exchange for you. Since you are precious in my sight, and important – for I have loved you. I give men in exchange for you and people in return for your life. Fear not, for I am with you. Renewal needs to be renewed

Keep from the stain of sin
Do you know what you have got?!
The softening comes in the soaking, not the rolling
The Harvest is rich, but the labourers are few: ask the Lord of the harvest to send labourers
Ask and you will receive
Be patient and wait for My perfect timing
Nahum 1:7 The Lord is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble: and He knows those who trust Him. He will make an utter end of it. Affliction will not rise up a second time.

Much more, let us thank the Lord our God who is putting us to the test as he did our fathers.

2 Chron 7:14-16 When My people who bear My Name humble themselves, and pray and look for me, and turn from their wicked ways then I myself will hear from heaven and forgive their sins and heal their land. From now on, My eyes are open and My ears attentive to the prayer that is offered in this place. From now on, I have chosen and consecrated this house as the place where My Name will be forever; My eyes and My heart will be there forever
1 Kings 18:41-end (Elijah’s faith) Elijah then said to Ahab, “Go up, eat and drink, for the sound of rain is rushing in.” …. Then Elijah said to his servant, “Go up and look in the direction of the sea.” The man went up, looked, and said, “There is nothing.” Then Elijah said, “Go again and do it seven times.” At the seventh time, he perceived a little cloud, the size of a man’s hand, rising out of the sea. Elijah told him, “Go, tell Ahab: prepare your chariot and go down before the rain stops you.” A little later the sky grew dark with clouds and wind and a strong rain fell. …. As for Elijah, the hand of the Lord was on him, and tucking his cloak in his belt, he ran before Ahab to the entrance of Jezreel.
Hold on to your promise: for some, I will make you like daffodils on dung heaps
Psalm 91 (He who dwells in the shelter of the Lord…)
Psalm 78:29-38 They ate till they were satisfied, for He had given them what they craved. But even before they were finished, while the food was still in their mouths, God’s anger rose against them; He slew the strongest among them and laid low the young men of Israel. In spite of all this, they kept on sinning and did not believe, so He swept away their days suddenly as a storm, and their years in terror. When He slew them, they repented and sought Him earnestly. They remembered that God was their rock, the Most High their redeemer. They flattered Him with their mouths, they lied to Him with their tongues, while their hearts were unfaithful; they were untrue to His covenant. Even then, in His compassion, He forgave their offences and did not destroy them.
1 John 2:12-14 My dear children, I write this to you: you have already received the forgiveness of your sins through the Name of Jesus. Fathers, I write this to you: you know Him who is from the beginning. Young men, I write this to you: you have overcome the evil one. My dear children, I write to you because you already know the Father. Fathers, I write to you because you know Him who is from the beginning. Young men, I write to you because you are strong and the Word of God lives in you who have indeed overcome the evil one.
Four points:
- Accept your responsibility as Christians and break with all sin in your life
- Follow the commandments especially those of love
- Reject the ways of the world
- Be on your guard against the tactics of the antichrist
Gal 5:25-6:10 If we live by the Spirit, let us be led by the Spirit. Let us not be conceited; let there be no rivalries or envy of one another. Brethren, in the event of someone falling into a sin, you who are spiritual shall set him aright with the spirit of kindness. Take care, for you too may be tempted. Carry each other’s burdens and so fulfil the law of Christ. If anyone thinks he is something, when in fact he is nothing, he deceives himself. Let each one examine his own conduct and he shall not boast before others, but will be zealous for his own progress. Everyone will answer for his own deeds. He who receives the teaching of the Word ought to share the good things he has with the one who instructs him. Do not be fooled. God cannot be deceived. You reap what you sow. The person who sows for the benefit of his own flesh shall reap corruption and death from the flesh. He who sows in the spirit shall reap eternal life from the Spirit. Let us do good without being discouraged; in due time we shall reap the reward of our constancy. So while there is time, let us do good to all and especially to our family in the faith.
Picture of Jesus with a lamb around His neck and surrounded by lots of lambs and sheep. Jesus bringing in the sheep: pray for the ones that reject Him.
Water follows the path of least resistance: don’t resist the Holy Spirit. Let His living waters flow into every area of your life. Give Him your deepest blockages.
Vision of the people going out all over Wales and England.
Protection for our families, no repercussions when we get home. Bind ridicule. Each person to take home the table of heaven – pass it on.
Prepare the way of the Lord
God will have the final word, but in the middle there will be a struggle.
Tobit 8:16 May You be blessed for having filled me with joy. What I feared has not happened, but instead You have treated us with mercy beyond measure
Pray for our Jewish brothers and sisters
