Chanctonbury Church

We are children of God in Jesus. He has loved and chosen you IN CHRIST, before the foundations of the world. God is bigger than our understanding. We are adopted by by God Almighty.

We are blessed with every spiritual blessing. 3 in one - lives IN US! Father, Son and Holy Spirit, living inside each one of us. We are hidden in Jesus. We are chosen in Christ. The foulest thing is covered by the blood of Jesus - He has done it all! Christ IN us means we have all authority over evil. The church is meant to reflect who God is. Let's build the oil of intimacy with Jesus - through prayer, so that we are equipped to reflect Him in our witness, proclaiming, loving and serving.

We the church are meant to reflect who God is. How can we do this? 1. Prayer 2. Witness 3 Proclaiming, loving and serving. How can we replace and overcome the opposition? Invest time to fill up on the oil of intimacy with Jesus. In Ephesus - the dominant worship was to the Goddess of Fertility - Artemis. We may be living in a simular culture where the God of money and sex dominates - but Jesus has blessed us with 'Every Spiritual Blessing'. How can we see things from heaven's perspective . We are chosen in Christ, destined for adoption. The foulest thing is cover by the blood of Jesus - He has done it all! We are IN HIM, and HE IS IN US!

As we are seeking to "enlarge the tent" - it's vital to keep the tent (tabernacle) focus of seeking the Lord in this place,. The 'altar of incense' (praise and intercession burning night and day), to allow God to begin the work of reshaping us as a church into a house of prayer for all nations, that His manifest glory might rest and abide in this place.

We are called to build an altar of prayer and worship in Chanctonbury. The altar builds a firm spiritual gate in a place and it acts an entrance point for more of the spirit of the living God. There are spiritual gates that allow darkness into the world. It was in that context in Ephesus that the church rises., in a city built around the Greek Goddess of Artemis. Historically Chanctonbury has been an area where a temple was build to the goddess Diana. Places are affected by the gates that are opened. We need to come out from under it and come over it. We are called to be apostolic people; one, holy and set apart. Your kingdom come on earth as it is in heaven. As we stand and pray in the spirit on all occasions, we build the 1st Altar of Sacrifice. The 2nd Altar of Feasting at the Lord's table and the 3rd Altar is the Altar of Incense; these are the prayers of the saints rising and reshaping the Western church. (Revelation 8;3-5). Let's be encouraged to build these altars, in this place to bring transformation.
