I walk by faith,
Each step by faith
To live by faith,
I put my trust in You.
Every step I take
Is a step of faith
No weapon formed against me
Shall prosper
And every prayer I make
Is a prayer of faith
And if my God is for me
Then who can be against me?

Declaring what God has done and who He is, is powerful and releases faith. But as
David Zajkowski pointed out in Sunday’s sermon (26 Oct), faith is not faith until it is
spoken out or acted upon. As a male lion roars over his ‘pride’ we are called to do
similar, by decreeing over areas entrusted to us by God. Empowered by the Holy
Spirit we decree ‘This is my family! This is my land! Every enemy must flee!’
We have been truly blessed with the presence of God, and the number of angels seen
in meetings increasing over the past weeks. We are carriers of His blessing and have
been empowered to intentionally and specifically release that which we carry, to
bring transformation into situations around us. Join us for our next Friday night
prayer meeting 7th November to decree the ‘Release of God’s Presence’ into our
families, communities, nation, overseas...
There are also many practical ways to help further the Kingdom of God. Take a look
at ALC noticeboards in auditorium to prayerfully consider these exciting invitations
including ‘Adopta Church’, ‘Passion for Africa’
Wasn’t it wonderful to hear the testimonies of ones healed at Ram Babu healing
meeting, and at Kawerau when Shad & Leanne ministered there recently. Thank you
to all who served at and supported these events.
Steve Stock (12 Oct) encouraged us to ‘grow where we are planted and be blessed
to be a blessing’ so impacting our communities within NZ and overseas. God is on
the move and it is wonderful to see initiatives like the ‘Hope Project’ expressing God’s
redemptive plan for individuals, and His promise of nationwide revival. Thank you to
ones who delivered Hope Project booklets to ‘non-circular’ homes. Keep looking for
opportunities to ask questions and help ones move forward on their faith journey.
Following on from Tim Jensen’s ‘E-Myth Busters’ (19 Oct) is a seminar looking at the
10 most common blockages for people finding faith. This will run at Lifezone Church,
Judea at 7pm on Thurs 6th November and is highly recommended for all to attend.
This month there are many end of year events: Ladies dessert evening, Te Kupenga
lunch, Life Enterprise business group shared dinner, ALC picnic…(see details later in
this bulletin) All these are opportunities to invite ones who do not attend our church.
On 16th November Alex Larsen will be preaching and officiating at the Bible Survey
graduation. Tickets are available through the office.
Welcome back to Mike and Janne as they return from ministry in Perth. We look
forward to a good report.  
At this time focused minds are crucial!!

Nga mihi mot e marama o Whiringa a Rangi.
Greetings for the month of November
Another election has concluded, and whatever the result, I again think how
blessed I am to live in a nation where people choose the Government. As each
election approaches, (I’ve seen a few now), I am aware of the choices I have.
I can choose to do nothing, not even vote, (about 30% of eligible voters don’t
vote), or I can read and listen to information made available, and make a
decision voting accordingly. The next level of involvement would be to join
the party, which is closest to my way of thinking, and have as much input into
that party’s policy as my enthusiasm and ability will allow. My experience has
shown me that each one of our political parties is a democratic body within
itself, and though each may have a different political ideology, the broader
range of support they can attract from the people, the more effective they
will be. They need to find candidates and have policy that will be acceptable
to the public, as it is the public who decide their level of influence in the House
of Representatives.
In my time there have been new parties formed i.e. New Zealand Party, New
Zealand First, New Labour, ACT, Conservatives and others, all initiated by
those unable to support any of the existing ones, so they have gathered
support and formed their own. I suggest this option is open to any of us, if we
can get enough support. If we can’t then the party doesn’t have a place.
Preacher/teacher Derek Prince said we get the Government we deserve.
Others say that in democratic nations the Government is a reflection of
society. I frequently hear it suggested, even once from a Radio Rhema
announcer, that our politicians are a bunch of liars. If so, what does that say
about us, the general public, who chose them.
I keep hoping and praying for more Godly Government, but perhaps this will
only happen when the majority of people demand it, so I pray for that shift
across our population. I believe that this can and will happen. Our nation was
established on Christian principles. The British Colonial Secretary’s
instructions to Lieutenant Hobson, (later Governor Hobson), which led to our
founding document, the Treaty of Waitangi, were to establish a “Nation of
Christendom” in New Zealand, where non-Christian conduct would not be
tolerated. Dedicated British, Maori and other Missionaries promoted that
idea across the land. Maybe at this time of the 200th anniversary of the first
preaching of the Gospel in Aotearoa/New Zealand, it would be a good time
for that to be re-vitalised.
Blessings, Robert Watson.

The Centre
YOU CAN HELP!
All and any donations gratefully received.
We give grateful thanks to the Lord for all that has been
completed so far, just the front glass curtain wall and sunscreen
louvres to be installed to complete the exterior.
Thank you for your sacrifice and commitment to paying the Faith
Promise Offering taken up in September. $87,500 has been received
with $186,000 pledged for the next three years.
If you are new to our church we would welcome any contribution
you may like to make towards IS54 THE CENTRE. Please place in
the tithe box in an envelope marked IS54.
As a church we believe wholeheartedly in the biblical
principle of tithing. Many of us have experienced God’s
abundant blessing, and we encourage you all to
embrace this principle of God.
We do not pass around a collection bag during our
services. What we have is a metal box for Tithes and
Offerings with envelopes next to it. Remember to write
your tithe number on the envelope. If you need a tithe
number or if you would like to start an automatic
payment, contact Caroline at the office (phone 576 8259).
Thanks!
